DISINFEcT BY SEA WATER
Brine Treated With Electricity Will Produce Strong Antiseptic,
 Is Claim.

The possibilities of manufacturing a strong disinfectant from sea water was discovery made in the bacteria logical department of the Liverpool university.
 During a series of experiments in the electric treatment of milk, Freder- ick c. Lewis, assistant lecturer in the university, developed the idea of pro ducing strong antiseptic from sea water. This, according to the Liver pool Courier, was two years ago.
 Since then all the disinfection and cleansing of cultures and slides in the meteorological and pathological labc- ratories at the university have been done by an electric chemical apparatus which insures powerful disinfectant from salt water
 The apparatus employed on the Aqui- tania Is of course on far larger scale than the one at the university. The principle. however. is precisely the same. There Is an electrolytic cell, a reversing switch, and some ordinary insulating electric cable.
 The cell stands upon a rubber mat, to insulate it, and Is raised upon a low table, to enable the contents to be poured out easily. It is filled with sea water and an electric current is then turned on and solution containing sodium hypochlorite, or available chlo- rine, will be obtained.

Elizabethtown, KY, June 5.-Miss
Ella Monroe, Fl years old, is in Jail
here awaiting trial on the charge of
numbering her rival, Miss Eva Greg

returning to her home on horseback.
Love letters from Clarence Quiggins,
now living in Illinois, the former suit
or of Miss Monroe and more lately
enamored of the slain girl, will play
an important part in trial at this term
Of Circuit Court.
The evidence against Miss Monroe
is circumstantial. No one saw the
person who ambushed her rival and
fired the fatal shot. But the States
Attorney has established the fact that
both girls were in love with the same
man; that the gun with which the

the shooting; that the girls had not
spoken to each other when they met
in a store just before the shooting;
that the tracks of a womans shoes
were found at the scene of the
tragedy, and that they led toward the
Monroe home.
CONFLICT OF EVIDENCE.
There is much conflict of evidence
as to the movements of the accused
girl on the afternoon of the shooting

The two girls went to the school anc

until some one told Ella Monroe that
Clarence Quiggins had taken her
friend home from church on Sunday.
Quiggins and Miss Monroe had long
been sweethearts. There was a
quarrel, but they made up and be-
came engaged. Later reports that
her sweetheart was paying attention
to Miss Gregory aroused further
jealousy, it is said in the neighbor.

and had not spoken to each other fol-
some time.
Quiggins moved to Illinois, promis,

charged him with being fond of hel

On Tuesday, March 81, Ella Mon

Ella Monroe left first, and she was
accompanied halfway home by an
other girl. When Miss Gregory left
the store it was about 8 o'clock. Al
$3.50 she was shot and killed near her
home, and the riderless horse gallop-
ing down the road attracted attention
to her misfortune.
Miss Gregory had been shot over
the heart and her waist caught fire.
The gun wadding was from a o.
gauge shotgun, and the only weapon
of this kind in the neighborhood had
been loaned to a hired man on the
Monroe farm.
In the soft earth by the roadside
were the marks of a woman's shoes.
These have been preserved. A place
was found where the wearer had re-
moved the shoes and walked for some
distance in her stocking feet. A pair
of shoes fitting the tracks exactly
were found hidden in the Monroe
home.
