Mr.. Hartridge said that he had paid

that his Instructions were general and

chief of detectives of Pittsburg, direct
ing him to get three tin boxes kept by
certain "Miss Bell' in the High
lands" exchange in that city. Let no.
body else have them,' said the mes
sage to O'Mara Another message con-
tanned in this telegram told miss
Bell to deliver the boxes to O'Mara
and cautioned her also to 'let nobody
else have them"
On cross-examination, Mr.. Morschau-
ser reverted to Hartridge's suit
against Mrs. William c. Thaw.
"It involves about $4,000 now" re-
marked the witness but it may in

Hartridge admitted that he had al
ready received $103, 900 from Mrs. Thaw,
but said it was fer various purposes"
Going back to the O'Mara telegram,
Hartridge said that he understood that
Miss Bells was Mrs. Harry K. Thaw's
house number in Pittsburg.
An hours recess was taken when
Hartridge finished because the district
attorney was not ready to call Susan

Isleworth and Iroquois and other ho-
tells in Atlantic City. He was acting
for the Lords Day Alliance.
A letter accompanied the affidavits,
which stated that on last Sunday thir-
teen ministers preached on Sunday clos
ing. and that collection was raised
and Charles Sheppard, of Bridgeton,
was engaged as counsel. The. letter
also stated that if the authorities and
Governor Fort failed to act they would
begin an agitation against the open
saloons next Sunday.
Copies of the affidavits were also for
warded to Supreme Court Justice
Thomas w. Trenchard and to Attorney

The morning was perfect, clear and
warm, and early trains from north and
south bore many ministerial guests.
All were guided about the camp after
chat with the Governor The men
of peace manifested keen interest in
the soldiS boys. and were looking for
ward with pleasure to their, after
Moons sham battle, to be fought by

From time to time as the children

that conduit work is simply the build
ing into TIC s-1-ctuic Of iron pipes
which is tho. tughly insulated on each
side with non-conducting tape. This
makes the danger from the lighting
system almost nothing
But, Mr.. Craighead, how do you
get the wires into the pipes?- he was
asked.
The answer to that isn't the same
one as how the apple gets inside the
dumpling,'' he said. I'VE take a
strong steel wire and introduce it into
the pipe at one of the pull boxes"
which are located throughout the con-
struction. The wire is stiff and fol-
lows the pipes to the next pull box In
that way, by hitching the wires on the
original steel wire, the whole conduit
system can be filled in a short time
and all the attachments made This is
a decided advantage when there is re-
pairing to do, irasmuch as all the
wiring can be pulled out. OF course
this is little more expensive. but it
pays. and in case of trouble the plas-
tering never has to be disturbed. It
can be used in buildings which were
not designed for conduits, but in that
case the conduits lie on the outside
and not the inside of the plastering
am looking for more of this work to be
done here" said Mr.. Craighead.
