BY Wire and Air.

An accidental experiment in the velocity
of sound is recounted by correspondent.
He went to his telephone, and just as he
put the receiver to his ear he heard tho
click of another telephone. Another re-
ceiver had been removed and the line was
open. =
Then he heard through the telephone the
shrek OF locomotive whistle, and few
seconds later the sound came through the
open window in the usual way. Looking
up, he saw locomotive half mile away,
passing the house of a friend.
The mystery was solved. The telephone
that was open was that at the distant
house, and the sound of the whistle had
come through its transformation into an
electric current quicker than it had tras-
elled through the air.

PRINCIPAL EVENTS OF a WEEK
State Items of General Interest from
Various Sources for the Benefit
of Our Readers.

Milwaukee, Oct. 5.-Mrs. Ella Frank
was the first witness called to the
stand in the Schandein will contest
case. She was questioned regarding
the unfriendly relations between her
self and Heyl, and was asked their
origin. She said it was because Heyl
was indecently familiar, and later
that she did not care to be alone with
him because he would be improper.
The deposition of Eva Kratschmer
taken at Los Angeles, was introduced
The Kratschmer woman was employed
by Mrs. Schandein in 1881 as cook.
She said that she thought Heyl first
began to live in the same house with
Mrs. Schandein in 1889, about a year
after Schandein died. One evening in
1884 or 1885 she said that she saw
Heyl and Mrs. Schandein kissing each
other. She testified to various COM
promising incidents which took place
during Schandein's life. Mrs. Kratsch-
mer also stated in her deposition that
she was told that during a trip across
the Atlantic Heyl and Mrs. Schandein
deported themselves as husband and
wife.
Elise Froebel, another servant, teSti-
fed that Clara Schandein, the present
Mrs. Heyl, was coerced into marrying
Heyl. Other servants offered similar
testimony.
Mrs. Schandein left most Of her es-
tate to Jacob Heyl, her son-in-law, and
the other heirs are contesting the will.
Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 6.-Jacob
Heyl, son-in-law Of Mrs. Lsette
Schandein, drove a four-in-hand of
''rich" horses with a trap or brake;
Emil Schandein, son Of Mrs. Schan-
dein, drove an old horse with COM
mon buggy. Testimony to this effect
was given by DR.. Joseph Sholdslzi, in
the contest Of the Schandein will before
Judge Carpenter. 'Mr. Heyl said that
Emil could not ride, drive or sail, or
even play the pianolo," testified DR..
ShOldSki.

Madison, Wis, Oct. Gin spite of
efforts to curb rowdyism at the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin sophomores and
freshmen broke all records for this
year. The sophomores captured a
number Of freshmen, made them do
stunts on the porch of the Kappa Kap-
pa Gamma house, and then threw
them into Lake Mendoza.
At the home of Mrs. Marsh, the at
lacking sophomores used ladders and
smashed windows in order to capture
two freshmen. A fierce battle with
chairs and canes followed. The two
captives then were ducked. Other
raids ended in like manner. The
faculty has taken precautions to pre-
vent violence at the class rush Friday
afternoon.

Decided to Abandon One Fight.
APPLICATION TO WITHDRAW
st. Louis Judges Decision Did the
Business for Ramsey.

st. Louis Judges Decision Did the
Business for Ramsey.
Throughout the morning the attor-
neys for Ramsey and those acting for
the Wabash railroad argued upon the
power of the court to remove the three
inspectors. The counsel for Ramsey
submitted a long list of names APP
Tended to an affidavit which set forth
that the people whose names were
submitted were actual owners of Wa
bash stock, or of debenture bonds.
The Gould lawyers insisted that there
was no proof in court that the owners
Of the names were bona fide holders
of either bonds or stocks. The Ram
Sey attorneys admitted this, but de-
clared that they could not prove this
positively without the stock book of
the Wabash railroad, which was in
the possession OF Gould, and they asked
court order the stock book brought into
court. The argument on this point
lasted until noon.
The direct path out of the labyrinth
was revealed when the court met in
the afternoon. Judge Kinkade took his
seat the attorneys for the Wabash
road, apparently in high feather over
the st. Louis decision, laughing and
whispering among themselves. Ram
sey was represented only by Judge
Doyle. There was long pause.
Your honor" finally said Judge
Doyle, "since the adjournment of the
hearing this morning we have seen the
telegraphed decision of the federal
court in St. Louis upon Mr.. Ramsey's
application to restrain the voting Of
the stock held by the Missouri Pa
cific and Iron Mountain railways. The
decision says that great illegalities
have been committed, but because Mr..
Ramsey last year voted the stock in
the same manner in which he is now
seeking to prevent he is estOpped from
asking relief In view of this import
ant decision, which affects fully one
thirtieth of the vote, we now ask per-
mission to withdraw our application
for the removal of the three election
inspectors"
The move of Ramsey's attorneys oc-
casioned great surprise and for nearly
minute nobody spoke. Judge Kin
kade then said: II believe that an
attorney making an application to the
court for relief has the right to with
draw such application if he SO de-
Bires."
1--WE are willing, your honor" said
Attorney Brown, for the Wabash"
'Well, we make the application to
withdraw" said Judge Doyle.
1T is granted and there is nothing
in the matter before the court re
piled Judge Kinkade, and the hearing
was over and the case relegated to
the decision of the meeting to be held
today.
The st. Louis decision referred to
in the foregoing was delivered by
Judge Taylor in the st. Louis circuit
court yesterday morning Ramsey had
applied Tor an Injunction restraining

Of New York. In giving his grounds
for refusing the nomination Hughes
said: I'm this dilemma | have sima

sponsibility. This work commands all

Seriously Hurt

Hamilton, O., Oct 10. = Bruce

jured and many girls and boys had
their faces and bodies scratched and
bruised in fierce scrimmage between
the sophomores and freshmen Of the

turned it on the freshmen who charged
through the street.
Sophomores captured twelve fresh
men and freshmen ten sophomores. Six
girls from each class were run down
and bound hand and foot and i'm
prisoned. Owing to the use of hose
the rush was fought out in a sea of
mud The sophomores failed to cap

with a traction engine, which the fresh
men disabled with stones and rails.

LOOKS LIKE A LOSER
Ramsey's Finish in the Wabash
Fight Seems Likely To Be
ain ALSO RAN"
STILL, THE GAME rs NOT ENDED
Both Parties to the Struggle Express
Confidence-Court Decides for
Gould at St. Louis.

Toledo, o., Oct 10. - George j.
Gould has arrived at Toledo, ready
for the annual meeting of the Wa
bash railroad which is to be held to-
day. Joseph Ramsey, Jr., ex-president
of the road, the former friend and
present antagonist Of Gould, is also
on the ground prepared to fight for
the control of the Wabash system. Di-
rectors of the road, who are here, all
seem friendly to Gould, and disposed
to uphold his interests. Ramsey, save
for his legal advisers, seems to stand
practically alone.
Gould Men Are Confident.
Gould himself declined to discuss
the probable outcome of the meeting,
but his friends confidently predict that
he will not only retain control Of the
Wabash system by an overwhelming
majority of votes, but that when the
smoke of battle has cleared away it
will be found that not only has Ram
sey failed to gain control Of the sys-
from it entirely, and that his name
does not even appear in the new board
Of directors.
Ramsey Appeared To Be Cheerful.
Ramsey, like Gould, declines to make
predictions. He is, however, to all ap-
pearances cheerful and confident to a
degree. Neither side will give figures
as to the total number of proxies con-
trolled, but the Gould party declares
that the decision of Judge Taylor in
st. Louis, which gave to Gould prac-
tically 10000 votes, meant nothing to
him so far as ability to control the
meeting is concerned. No matter how
that case was decided, they allege,
Gould has so large an excess of votes
that he could not only have lost the
100000 but could even have trans
ferred them to Ramsey without alter
ing the result. To statements such as
these Ramsey said nothing. He sim
ply laughed, and says: eve will know
all about it today"
Decided to Abandon One Fight.
At conference held between RAM
sey and his attorneys it was decided,
in view of the decision of Judge Tay-
lor, to abandon the fight started by
Ramsey for the removal Of the three
men who have for several years act
ed as judges of election at the annual
meetings of the Wabash railroad.
