Advocates State Long Trolley.

Walter Morris, prominent Dover
capitalist and cashier of the Farmers
Bank of Delaware, is out in a statement
asking the people of Kent and Sussex
counties to form a large stock company
and suscribe S25OOOO at once for the
equipment of modern electric railways
Mr.. Morris says, in part:
"The Delaware railroad cannot cater to
the needs of the people of Delaware
They are busy hauling through freight
from the south.
"It would only take S62, 800 to pay five
percentum on the bonds and stock of an
electric line. Electricity is less expensive
than steam, and gasoline is cheapest of
all. The gasoline car is a success. 1t re-
quires no central power house.
''Stock would be $50 share and far
mers, business and professional men
should all suscribe. They cannot afford
not to. We all need it in our business.
Farms would increase in value so per-
centum. Freight and passenger rates
would decrease 20 percentum. Business
would increase because more people
would move to Delaware if we had good
railway communications with Whining
ton and Philadelphia.
"The hard drinking class OF Kent
and Sussex have drunk up the cost of
several trolley lines, and have done it to
their injuries. Let the exit of whiskey
with its train of crime, idleness and pow
erty be the advent of an electrical train,
bringing progress, industry and pros
perity."

So great is the demand for this specific,

fering from mental alteration, Mrs.
Charles Miller, wife Of a prominent
farmer of Frick's Locks, two miles
east Of here, attempted suicide by pour

remained there until the flames had
scOrched the sides OF the building.
Then she ran to the barn where her
husband was milking, and seeing her
Rfire he seized a pail of milk and threw
the contents over her. NeighbOrs rush
ed to the unfortunate woman and the
flames were soon extinguished, but
not until she had been fatally burned
The woman was removed to a hospi-
tal where 1t was found that her death
is only a matter Of hours. During the
last two weeks Mrs. Miller made two
unsuccessful attempts at suicide. She
is aged 43 years.

An Opera by a Monk.

It Is not often one hears Of an opera
composed in the cloister. One such Is.
however, to be shortly placed before
the public. 1t comes, too, from mon
Rstery hitherto associated in mems
minds rather with hardship and priva-
ton than the pleasures Of worldly
melody-namely, the hospital Of the
great st. Bernard. The author Of the
opera is one of the hardest working

work, which is In five acts, "The Old

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER
Polish Woman Accused Of Killing
Husband to Wed Her Lover.

Polish Woman Accused Of Killing
Husband to Wed Her Lover.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. Mrs. Knidu
HOwrsto, of Dunmore, a 17-year-old
Polish woman was placed on trial be-
fore Judge Newcomb on the charge OF
killing her husband, on the night OF
July l last. 1t is alleged that at the
tnstigation OF her lover, Ignatz Hutro,
she got her husband drunk. and when
he went to bed poured kerosene oil
over him and and set fire to him. He
died few hours later.
1t is alleged that she made a con-
fessiOn soon after her arrest. on the
day following the crime, in which she
admitted the deed and told all its hor-
ribel details.
The defense will be that the lamp
exploded through no fault OF Mrs.
Howrsto, and that the alleged confess
sion was simply a series of affirmative
answers made to questions of the de-
tectives. after she had been made drunk
with whisky. The commonwealth will
deny and characterize as ridiculous
this latter part of the contention Of tho
defense.
Hutro, the alleged accomplice. will
be tried next week.

pion In Ten Rounds.
London, Dec. 3.-Tommy Burns Of
America, knocked out Gunner Moir,
of England, in the 10th round before
the National Sporting Club here. Eng
lishmen never had great hopes Of the
ability of their representative to re-
gain their lost honors in the boxing
arena, and in a somewhat Unexciting
contest the American champion had
a comparatively easy task in dispos-
ing of Moir's pretensions and secur-
ing for himself the title Of heavy
weight champion of the world.
After the fifth round Burns victory
was certain, and in the 10th, when
the gunner failed to rise to the call
of time, and was literally cut to
pieces, Burns left the ring with
scarcely a mark.

LIGHTNING AND ITS DANGERS.
Not Much Advance Made Toward Pro-
lection From It.

As with ballooning, so with protection
against lightning, since the first ldentl-
hcation of lightning with electricity by
Franklin, within two decades of the ascent
of the first balloon, the art OF protecting
human life and habitations from its vlsl-
tations has remained about stationary.
There is nothing better today than the
metal rod, either of iron or copper, with
sharp points projecting little way above
the object to be protected. The great
Washington monument has served tor
continuous lightning experimentation and
record under the auspices OF the scientific
men of the weather bureau. If there
be any advance to record in the protec-
tive devices against lightning it is
through the experience obtained on the
monument. 1t is 555 feet high and stands
in the center of fiat and well watered
ground, precisely the combination of con-
ditions believed to attract the lightning.
About 20 years ago the lightning rods
upon it were REINFORCED by connecting
the pyramidal cap of aluminium by a
network of copper wires, uniting the four
main copper lightning rods with one an
other and with the uprights supporting
the elevator machinery, and arming the
whole system of copper wires about the
cap with some 200 copper points dis
tributed at a uniform distance of about
five feet. There had been one damaging
lightning stroke which left its mark upon
the monument, but since that multiplied
ton of points and close connection with
the metals in the interior of the monu-
ment, not another one. In England this

The defense rested Immediately after
court opened at Boise, Ida, yesterday
morning in the trial of W. d. Haywood,
charged with completely in the murder OF
ex.Gov. Frank Steunenburg Judge
Wood announced that the opening argu-
ment for the state would be made by
Mr.. Hawley this morning. Consideration
of instructions to be given the jury oc-
cupied today's session. Judge Wood
heard the views of counsel regarding the
materiality of certain evidence. Judge
Wood at yesterdays session admitted as
evidence the most important exhibit here
tofore offered. 1t was paper dated July
3D. 1901, in which the miners union
agreed to refrain from violence for
three days.
The last witness of the state was Will
liam Stuart, a Scotchman. He was a
miner in the Cripple Creek region during
the labor troubles and told a terrible
story of maltreatment at the hands OF
miners who had warned him that he
would have to take the consequences If
he went to work as "seab." With ma
tive stubbornness Stuart went to work
and on the stand with native wit he told
the consequences He was beaten with
revolvers, thrown down, his head was
beaten in and finally he was shot through
the back as he lay on the ground. Stuart
said he was in the hospital for three
months.
A few days after the assault Stuart said
the militia came into the district.
