Harrison gave his reasons very freely and imposed no conditions on him to hold the talk confidential. Judge Carpenter, in the United States Circuit Court at Boston, decreed that the telephone patent, 403,5(8), issued Nov. 17, 1S91, to Emile Berliner, be declared5void and delivered up to be cuaoeled. There were two grounds upon which the gov­ ernment attacked the Berliner patent, and on both grounds the court decides against the company* Which is not only de­ feated but has to pay costs, which are enormous. The first ground of attack was that its issue had been wrongfully delayed by the American Bell Telephone Company, working through various pro­ ceedings of the patent office. The second ground of attack by the government was because substantially the same patent, or a patent substantially covering the same "k 1- Sfti ; ' v»; . tiff was Robert jounson. who had been \ invention, was issued in 1880 ]3mile charged with stealing a $2 calf. The case was an action for malicious prosecution begun in Jones County, Iowa, on May 23, 1878, against E. V. Miller, David Fall, George W. Miller, Abe Miller, John Fore­ man, S. D. Porter fcnd Herman Kellar. The sixth trial of this case was had in the District Court of Black Hawk Coun­ ty and resulted in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and against nil of the de­ fendants, except Keliar. The other de­ fendants filed a motion for arrest of jrtdgment against plaintiff on the ground that the sweial findings were in conflict with the general verdict. Both motions were overruled. The case was heard in: several relations, such as apportionment of costs. The present appeal is upon ex- ceptance to the judgment against the six defendants other than Ivellar for the full amount of the costs in said action, being ^g.S86.&4. and the verdict of the District ^ Was aflirmed. k >V;' '*• „ NEWS NUGGETS.

Another bond issue is inevitable unless Berliner. The company has the right to appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. While the Berliner patent was a ground patent, the American Bell Telephone Company has protected itself by specific patents in every improvement made. Upon the announcement of this decision Bell telephone stock broke from 200% to 191, and sold later to 194 and 193, more than 700 changing hands.

Minority members of the House Bank­ ing and Currency Committee severely, criticise the Carlisle bill in their report. Mr. Taylor, the United States Minister at Madrid, had an important conference Monday with Senor Griozard, Minister for Foreign Affairs, relative to the impo­ sition of excessive duties upon imports in­ to Cuba from the United States. He in­ formed the Senor that he had been direct­ ed by his government to inform the Gov­ ernment of Spain that if it persisted in exacting these discriminating duties the action could be regarded by the President ouly as inviting the exercise by him of the power of retaliation conferred by the act of 1890. This threat has caused a com­ motion in ministerial circles. The ac­ tion of our State Department indicated in the cablegram from Madrid in warning the Spanish Government of its intention to resort to retalia­ tion should Spain continue its present policy with respect to American exports to Cuba will doubtless have the effect to bring at once to a focus the long-drawn- ont negotiations which have been in prog­ ress with results very unsatisfactory to that government. None of our foreign re­ lations has of late given us so much trouble as those with Spain. For several years this government has been urging the claims of American exports for the re­ mission of heavy fines and excesshe tnxes amounting to $5,000,000. These taxes and fines were imposed by the Cuban customs officers in direct violation of all treaties and absolutely without any outer ivarraui iiiait ejusiiiig ucvcmUj **>« funds. The Spanish Government prac­ tically admitted the justice of ourdaims, but failed to make any restitution. )E IS OHOSEN PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERATION OF LABOR.

Advices from Apia, Samoa, of the date Dec. 8, are that the novelist, Robert Louis Stevenson, had died suddenly of apoplexy. At the time of his death Mr. Stevenson had half completed the writing of a new novel. Some time ago Mr. Stevenson, who was suffering from lung trouble, went to the South Pacific for his health. He became enraptured with the Samoan Islands and decided to take up his resi­ dence and spend the rest of his days there.

Somebody nailed a banner with a strange device over the west end of the Washington street tunnel in Chicago Tuesday night. On it were an artisti­ cally executed skull and cross bones, and this legend: "Death Valley." The letters were just about two feet tall and stood out prominently under the glare of the electric lights which swing above the arch. Everybody saw it and everybody-- excepting of course, the gripmen and con­ ductors -- grinned. From 8 until 10 o'clock it hung aloft, then an emissary from the street car company yanked it down.

IN GENERAL The remains of Andy Bowen, the deaa pugilist, were interred Monday, and with his body wa,s buried prize fighting in New Orleans. The fatal termination of Friday night's contest has had the effect of arousing a fierce sentiment against any more ring battles. The newspapers edi­ torially* demanded the abolition of the Contests. Mayor Fitzpatrick by his prompt revocation of the permit for Saturday night's fight between Ryan and Dempsey showed that he took a serious view of the situation. The Attorney Gen­ eral has discovered that the so-called lim­ ited-round contests are prize fights and nothing more, and he has written a letter to the Auditorium Club that he will en­ join any club which attempts to give an­ other exhibition. It is said that the Gov­ ernor is greatly scandalized also, and it is therefore certain that there will be no more glove contests of any kind in New Orleans until after the Supreme Court j rett, elected in 1881. , "..Vn MM***' Leader Wina. < * Thfe delegates to the labor conventioh in Denver were nearly all in their seats when the roll was called Monday.

The condemned man was marched to the gallows stairs and led up on the drop, his arms and legs strapped, the noose adjusted, and the black cap drawn over his face. In an instant, then, with­ out warning, without n signal on the part of anybody, without an aggressive move­ ment from the hangman or others, with­ out preliminary noise whatever on the IMU-t of the concealed machinery, the body of the criminal was shot into the air. Cronin had been a lured man for Albeit Skinner, a. thrifty South Windsor farmer, for several months, and did good service for him. He went on a prolonged spree, haul a. qimrrel, «nd then a fight with Skin­ ner, and the latter threw him out of the bouse. Cronin went away muttering vengeance against his employer, and two hours later returned with a double-bar­ reled shotgun and killed Skinne* with a >oh»rge <^ heavy shot. fiOlLtft 81 - HISTORIC: VIENNA.; waty Attraction to Be Rep^tfUCcd on a Gijsantic Scale.

Its unique Btruc- *»ret\ original interior, charming music «ud attractive environments made an invpression on the mind of those who saw it ttfhat can only be effaced when the memories or tne vv hire City are no more. Sift this one attraction at least is to be something more than a memory, for if the plans of several Chicago's most promi­ nent citizens are carried out, it will be preserved in enduring form. It is proposed to erect a mammoth structure, somewhat similar in design to Old Vienna, but far surpassing it in grandeur and the immensity of its pro­ portions. The plans have all been drawn by the architect and designers of the World's Fair and if their ideas nre car­ ried out Chicago will have the most unique structure in the world. It will be known as Historic Vienna, and will be located on North Clark and Locust streets, having a frontage of 277 feet on 01 f! "HISTORIC VIENNA," TO BE BUILT IN CHICAGO. pers, 937." Mr. Gompers was nominated by Mr. Eickhoff. The nomination was seconded by Messrs. Cohen, Daily, and McCraith. McBride was nominated by Mr. Penna and seconded by Mr. Allen. The vote proceeded without incident ex­ cept that several delegates announced that they would vote against Gompers by in­ struction from various unions. President Gompers moved to make the vote unani­ mous for McBride. but objection was made. Mr. Gompers at once wrote and dispatched a message of congratulation to Mr. McBride, who is ill at his home. Mr. Gompers is a member of the Cigar- makers' union, and has held the position of president of the American Federation of Labor since 1882. From then until 188G there was no salary attached to the office. That year it was decided to make the office a permanent one, and the salary was fixed at $1,200. This was raised to $1,800 in 1892.

In a letter received in Chicago by the management of McVicker's Theater from Lawrence MeCarty, manager of Eugene Tompkins' ballet spectacle, "The Black Crook," he stated: " 'The Crook* is practically a new production this year and much stronger than on previous occa­ sions. All the ballet being new with sev­ eral additions, including a musical doll ballet of my own invention, which has met with marked success.

The average of earnings for over 250,000 hands is 4 per cent, larger than in 1893, bill. 44^ per cent, iess than in 1892. iir some of the industries more hands are at worlt than in 1892, but in others the decrease is large. Neither the larger orders in some branches nor the depression of prices in others, afford a safe indication of the gen­ eral movement. But the working force does not lessen more than usual for the time of year, the demand for goods does not seem to diminish, though in most de­ partments it is considerably below the capacity of works in operation, and the volume of business transacted is a little larger in comparison with last jear than in Novemf ;ET REPORTS.

There were many causes leading to his defeat. His' refusal to order a general strike last sum­ mer was not well received by many of the strongest unions. It was claimed by the friends of Mr. Debs that the assistance of Gompers at the critical moment would have brought victory to the strikers. They thovght that the head of the American Federation had grown too conservative. For first vice president Mrs. T. J. Mor­ gan, of Chicago, and Dr. McGuire, of Philadelphia, were nominated.

The architecture will be the renaissance, mingled with the old German, as in vogue in Vienna and along the Danube. The greatest feature of the new project will be an immense auditorium, capable of seating 11!,(KK) people. It will resemble the Royal Albert Hall, London, but will seat 4,000 more persons. It will easily be the biggest and grandest auditorium in the world. The other parts of the building will contain, among other things, 13 stores, a model liotel, with 120 apartments and 40 single rooms; library and reading-room, having the leading dailies of the world; billiard rooms, bowling alleys; a verita­ ble Vienna cafe in all its details; restau­ rants, with a celebrated European chef in charge of the cuisine; a typical "Old German Wein Keller" and "Bier Stube." I11 addition there will be bazars of differ­ ent nations, museums, panopticum, "laughing-room," ball-rooms, banquet halls, private supper apartments, halls for lodges and meetings, and last, but not least, the entree to the boxes will lead from Locust street through a permanent winter palm garden. Music, and that of the very highest type, wyll constitute the prime attraction of the "Historic Vienna." In its walls will be rendered daily music a la Theo­ dore . Thomae. diversified by that of Strauss. In connection therewith a con­ servatory of music will be established. Arrangements will be consummated to provide free Sunday sermons by the most eminent divines that can, be secured, making "Historic Vienna" a veritable people's church. Education will be fos­ tered. Ijectures will be delivered on gen­ eral education, b'^tory, civil government, manual training, kindergarten work and Icindrod subjects, all by men of national and international fame. This work will be exemplified, pictorially, at festivals. A special feature will be to make "His­ toric Vienna" the favorite resort of the children and the student world of, Chi­ cago, where education can be obtained in its truest sense. Ladies will find much to attract them. Passing through a palm garden of choic­ est plants and flowers, they will find ba­ zars containing the work of women of every nation. At regulur intervals grand balls, concerts, and festivals will be given for sweet charity. It will make Chi­ cago the permanent city of national con­ ventions and international congresses, as J10 other structure in the country can compare with it as a. place for holding Buch assemblages. It will also aid in making the Windy City the leading cen­ ter for music, art and education in the United States. THE AUTOMATIC OALtiOW8. was broken on the upward bound by the drop instantly and apparently painless. The gallows upon which Cronin was executed is, perhaps, the ipost remarkable machine ever made for taking human life. It would send a thrill of horror through such an orthodox headchopper 41* Dcibler, the French executioner. It has been called the suicide gallows. By a most ingenious contrivance the male­ factor is indirectly compelled to execute himself. This extraordinary Connecticut gibbet Is connected with a concealed clockwork apparatus that operates it. It is a hydraulic, automatic affair, with wheels and cogs, and springs and catches, and the whole siuister and stealthily working machinery is invisible not ouly to the condemned man on the scaffold, but also to the officials and spectator!. Its operating machinery is so contrived that tbe murderer in stepping on the drop •prings a catch that puts in nmtion an apparatus that la a carefully ifegulated Five Men Instantly Killed by an Si* plosion at West Bay City, Mich.

It seems that at that hour it has been customary for the boys in the fac­ tory to assemble in the fireroom for the purpose of eating their lunch. At that time Tuesday George Pfund, Albert Hue- benbecker, Albert Raha. John Botun, With John Caleutt, the fireman, were at the fireroom. Without warning the boiler burst, wrecking the brick boiler-house, the east end pf the factory, the dry kiln to the north, and scattering debris in all directions. The employes of the mill rushed out panic-stricken, but, after re­ covering themselves, began the work of rescuing their ill-fated companions. The five named were dead when taken out from under the brick, timber and sawdust. Mothers and sisters ran to tne milt trom all directions, crying pitiously for fear their husbands and fathers had been killed, and the scene was one of complete confusion for several minutes. A fire broke out in the ruins and an alarm called a company to the scene. Charles Doege was found on the platform between* the planing mill and boiler-room pinned down by a hot steam pipe under boards and timbers. The shock of the explosion was felt two miles away, but the report was comparatively slight. >111 HE COULDN'T MARRY HER, And That's Why Bill Cook Became the • Famous Outlaw He Is. The band of outlaws now operating in Indian Territory in the Southwest is per­ haps the most daring that has ever been formed in this country. Its leader, Bill Cook, is a young man less than 22 years old, but he lias all the daring and courage of a dozen Daltons. Were it not for a love affair this' young iuari, of mixed In­ dian and hite blood, would in all proba- & a BILL COOK. Kaneaa Heroine. Early one morning not long since the Patterson Hotel, at Harper, Ivan., was de­ stroyed by fire. There were thirty-seven f;nests in the house at the time, and the ives of all of them were saved by the lieroism of Maud Scliemerhorn. one of the dining-room girls. Miss Scliemerhorn and Mattie Harper were asleep in a room in ( I , , , lilt; icut ft IIIC uuira, » ncu 111c UUIUCD broke out in the kitchen directly under them. They were awakened by the smoke, and attempted to escape, but be­ fore they could get out Miss Harper was overcome by the smoke. Miss Schemer- horn broke out the window with her bare hands, and carried <lier compauion out. Then, passing around to the front of the building, she broke another window, en­ tered the house and awoke the occupants, all of whom were sleeping peacefully. At the door of the last rooni she sank down exhausted. The gentleman who was in this room tripped over her form us he stepped out. He stopped, picked her up and succeeded in making his way with his unconscious burden to the street. A few minutes Inter the whole house was in flames. A large part of her way through the house the heroic girl was forced to crawl on hands and knees, owing to the dense smoke, but she kept on until every sleeper was aroused. But for her efforts all, or nearly all, would undoubtedly have Miss Scliemerhorn is only 16 wold, and Is very preitjf* * ^ bility be a decent member of society in Indian Territory to-day. When Bill was a schoolboy at Fourteen Mile Creek, midway between Fort Gib­ son and Talequah, he fell in love with a pretty girl, Martha Pittman. Their ro­ mance ran along smoothly enough until Bill was convicted of smuggling whisky into the Territory--an offense that a great many people are guilty of. Then Mar­ tha's father vowed that his daughter would never marry a criminal, and when Bill got out of jail he was refitsed per­ mission to call on Martha. Like a true sweetheart Martha stood by her lover, but Bill refused to marry her without the old man's consent and swore that if he could not obtain it he'd go on the warpath and put the whole Indian Territory on the run at the point of his Winchester. To the warpath he consequently took when Martha's father remained obdur­ ate, and it must be said that he has kept a considerable portion of the Territory on the qui vive ever since. And here the strangest part of the romance comes to light. All through Bill's train robbing ep­ isodes and robberies Martha remained true, and finally her father, impressed with Bill's nerve, withdrew his objections to the marriage and is as anxious to have Bill as a son-in-law. It is now said that -SKEETEB8" AND -CHEROKEE pILL." Martha has gone to join her lover, bearing her father's blessing. Associated with Bill are some desper­ ate characters, whose names repeatedly crop up in newspaper reports. One of these is "Skeeters." His right name is Thurman Baldwin and he hails from Ar­ kansas. He is white. Another trusty lieutenant is Cherokee Bill, a mixture of white, negro and Cherokee. His right name is Crawford Crosby and he is 18 years old. These are the most trusty members "of the gang over which Bill Cook holds sway. Recently Cherokee Bill sustuined a serious injury in a fight with deputies at Talala. WORK or OUR NATIOfKML MAKERS.
