DREAM FINDS
MURDERED
WOMAN
Shocking Crime Revealed.
Buried in Quicklime--H us-
band Arrested as Slayer.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.-The
police of Oakland yesterday unearthed
q most diabolical crime and have taken
into custody M. A. Wilkins, a station
airy engineer, and will charge him with
the murder of his wife, whose remains
We're found buried in quicklime under
meath a shed in the yard of the VIII
kins home, in Elmhurst, a suburb of
Oakland.
A friend of the dead woman, Mrs.
]. M. Anderson, of San Francisco, had
been staying al the Wilkins home dur
ing the past few days, and now asserts
that Wilkins had ~endeavored to induce
her to leave her husband and go away
with him. Her suspicious became
aroused, and Monday night, in a dream,
she saw the body of her former friend
lying on the ground, with the arms
crossed over the breast.
She returned to San Francisco and
informed her husband, and the two
told the story to the Oakland police.
The result was finding the body in a
trench under an old carpet in the shed,
lying as described by Mrs. Anderson.
Wilkins at first said his wife had
committed suicide. Later he asserted
h had died during childbirth, and
that he had buried the body to save
expenses. AT last he refused to ak
further.
Mrs. Anderson says that she was
awakened from her singular dream by
wilkins, who was standing over her
with a knife in his hand. When she
asked what he meant, he replied that
she had been talking wildly in her
sleep. He put away the knife and
asked her to take a drink of water.
She slipped some of the water, but did
not swallow it, suspecting hat it had
been poisoned. This proved to be the
fact. Wilkins is so years of age. He
came here with his wife from York, Pa.

Roundsman Stillman, Of headquar-

stop a frightened horse and hold a
prisoner at the same time. Before he
was able to do it he barked the skin
off his shins and right arm in Market
street just as an audience was get

man, who managed to stop the horse
before it had run anyone down.
John Lockwood, the driver of the
horse. which was attached to a
waffle" wagon, was fined s25 in the
First Criminal Court this morning on
a charge of reckless driving.
Lockwood was driving at a reckless
speed in Washington street last night
near Blaney's Theatre when Stillman
saw him. He ordered the driver to
stop, but the man laid the whip on
the horse. and it broke into a dead
run, scattering the theatre crowd hell

grab the back of the wagon, but man-
aged to get inside. He took the Feins
away from Lockwood and held them
with one hand With the other hand
he grabbed Lockwood by the throat,

THOUGHT IT A FIRE
ELECTRIC LAMP GAVE $780,
600 CANDLE POWER.
Residents in Neighborhood Alarmed by
Glow-Building One to Give
3,ooo,o 900 Candle Power.

Ralph Scott, a 2~2-year-old Newarker,
inventor of a new monster flaming arc
lamp, gave a public demonstration OF
the power of the illumination of his
new light last night in the yard of
his factory in Nassau street. He had
four lamps fitted up, and had them
send forth their illumination consecu-
lively.
The smallest lamp gave a 1000
candlepower light, the next 10000, the
third 80, 900 and the last 260, 0O0-candle-
power light.
When the largest lamp was lit many
people living in the neighborhood
thought the factory was on fire and
ran to the scene Of the supposed con-
fi~agration only to find a huge ball of
fire, with a brilliancy like the sun,
suspended from a high pole. 1t took
ten amperes and 500 volts to light the
great lamp.
AS there were certain patents yet pend
ing, Mr.. Scott did not enter into any ex-

astic.
The principle Of the new light seems to
be the gathering Of a cluster Of carbons
IN a s~lanting way so as to throw a down
ward as well as a spreading light. The
lianting Of the carbons has a tendency to
obyiate the amount Of illumination wasted

UNDER HEAVY BAIL
ALLEGED PROPRIETOR OF
DISORDERLY HOUSE.
sherif's Men Raided Place Kept by
Samuel Cohen, Who Pleaded to
Be Allowed to Escape.

Charged with conducting a ~disorderly
house. Samuel Cohen and his wife were
arraigned before Justice of the Peace
Henry Bossett today and held in 1,50O
pail until tomorrow, when they will be

cinct Police Court and committed to

Several ~constables from the sheriffs
Office raided Cohen's place in the rear
of III Academy street shortly after
o'clock last night, and besides arrestins
the Cohens found two men in the place
who were held as witnesses.
Cohen did his best pleading to be
allowed to go free, but the constables
turned a deaf ear to his request and
gave him a free ride to the jail in the
new county van.
1t is said Cohen came to. Newark
from the metropolis a short time ago,
and from the time he did until the
moment he was taken into custody last
night the sheriff's men managed to
keep close tabs on him. The house is
located east of High street and in the
First Precinct.
An unknown nan appeared in the
Fourth Precinct Police Court today
and asked to make a complaint against
him. He was not aware that Cohen
was in the sheriff's custody. He ac-
cused Cohen of %assaulting him yester-
day. He was directed to the First Pre-

ordinary lamp. Another feature claimed
is the economical expenditure Of current.
The new light will mean a revolution in
electric illumination. Mr.. Scott believes.
The 100000 candlepower light demon
strated by Mr.. Scott, is said to be the
largest electric light in the world. Mr..
Scott has almost completed a lamp for
the Lackawanna railroad terminal in Ho-
boken that will give a 100000 c%andlepower
light, and is also working on a lamp to
be placed in the New York Theatre that
will give 3,OO0,Oe candlepower.
These lamps will be in operation, it was
said, about the first of the year. The lamp
invented by Mr.. Scott is manufactured at
his plant to give from 400 to 100000 can
dlepower. In fact, the candlepower that
can be produced Is so vast that no testing
laboratory in New York will record their
c~andlepower.
