Great Triumph for Wireless Telegrephy

New York. March 2.-This is ar account
# tno most amazing triumph which wirc-

If how AN Atlantic liner maintained com

There were many to doubt Mirconfs re-

'ete- ard greater feat. which was ac-
cmriish"d during the Just-cnled voyage

hia from On rbourg 10 Now York.
Capt. a. X. Mills. master Of the Phil

explained this by saying that Will th'
apparatus installed on the phila lphia
admitted of the reception of messages. II
was not sufficiently powerful to send then
such q distance as the more powcrfu
Cornwall station accomplished.

ana without trace of cXultatiCn over The

his own triumphal vindcaton Of what hc

Phelps, closed the argument for
the prosecution with a very elo-
quent speech in which he said
that A. j. Johnson, the party
that the defendants claimed to
have purchased the mules from,
went straight up" Immediately
after he sold the mules. as he has
never been heard of since or be-
fore, and never will be heard of
again, and | would have advised
the attys. for the defense to have
purchased balloon and gone in
search of him." Crosby 6; Phelps
represented the territory, Glitsch,

sented the defense. Both the
Territory and defense were ably
represented in this case. The
firm of Glitsch, Randolph G
Glitsch has splendid reputation
here as atty's. and Atty. Frank

highly complimented for the mas
