The Drawbaugh defense ot priority has been set up by the Overland telephone company in the suits brought by the Bell company against it. There is newly discovered evidence of great value in the Drawbaugh case tbat was not available, because not known, it is claimed, at the time the suit was heard in the New York courts.

And on the night of July 24, 1885, one R.

And when the mists thrown around his civil administration by partisan enemies should be dispelled they would equal in glory any administration of the past. "Duty was with him a living principle. Nothing could swerve him from a course he believed to be right. He was conscientious, just, truthful, courageous and magnanimous.

He stood by his friends and forgave his enemies. He fought not fbr glory, but to save his country. When criticised and censured, when the clouds of calumny bung about him, he stood with folded arms amid the thunders, witnessing the wrath of his enemies, but he spoke not in his own defense. Time finally dispelled the clouds and let in the sunlight of honest judgment. Then his heart was found as pure as the dewdrop which hung upon the lips of the velvet rose." An Advertiser's Novel Expedient.

New ork Sun. One of the largest advertisers in New York says: We once hit upon a novel expedient for ascertaining over what area our advertisements were read. We published a couple of half column "ads" in which we purposely misstated half a dozen historical facts. In lees than a week we received between 300 and 400 letters from all parts of the country from people wishing to know why on earth we kept such a consummate fool who knew so little about American history. The letters kept pouring in for three or four weeks.

It was one of the best paying "ads" we ever printed. But we did not repeat the experiment because tbe one I reier to served its purnose. Onr letters came from schoolboys, girls, professors, clergymen, school teachers and in two intstances from eminent men who have a world wide reputation. I was more impressed with the value of advertising from those two advertisements than I should have been by volumes of theories. A Mnrderer Gets Xonrteen Charles P.

Barnes, of Elkton, yesterday found guilty of murder in the second degree for the killing on May yoth last of Thomas E. Brown, his brother in law, and James A. Barnes, his son.

From reliable sources it is ascertained that President Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company, is disposed to pay uvorabie attention to the oner of the Pennsylvania to take his freight and passenger business to New York over its line because oi tbe difficulties that might arise in the way of reaching that point by other means. Mr. Uarrett while ln Europe, it is said, discovered that capital ists were not favorably disposed toward American railway corporations on account of the shrinkage in the value of securi ties.

A Britlfth Tribute to an American Author. A Great American Novel" is the ti tle of a review in the Pall Mall Gazette of Mr. Howells' Sue of Silas Lapfiam.

The reviewer calls the book "the high water mark of Mr. Howells great and unique photographic genius." The author, the Enelish critic declares, "is be yond dispute a great artist. Slowly and by gradual tentative stages even we Philistine English people are beginning with a grudging reluctance to perceive it. The extreme delicacy and lightness of his humor, the exquisitely evanescent aroma of his truly native genius, have prevented a solid, stolid, hard headed race, brought ud on beef and beer and Dickens, from readilv appreciating the unrivalled dain tiness and gracefulness of his masterl touch. The interest of his works is en tirely dependent upon the fact that every incident and every conversation might really and easily have happened in tbe actual world as we practically know it.

His system is unvarnished naturalism, but naturalism of a healthy, wholesome kind." The Reading's Accounts. George M.

2. A battery of boilers ia CUrfco'g company solar iron works exploded this morning shortly after 3 o'clock, injuring sjerenteea persons, three fatally. The night tarn had just been relieved by the day force, and that portion of the works In the vicinity of the betters was filled with floods of steam. Through the dense mUt came shrieks and groans telling that a frightful calamity bad occurred When the ioh of ateam cleared away it was found tbat the mod dram of tbe boilers had exploded and that escaping steam bad scalded seventeen men. Closer lavestigation showed that of this number fourteen were badly and three fatally In ami.

Thn names of the wounded are: Frank Mar tin. badly scalded about the head, will not recover; James Cailce, terribly burned and the top of his bead crashed in by fljiog iron, cannot live; Frank Murray, a boy, fatally blared; Thomas Stein, a boy. badly scalded; William Daniel, a boy, acalded and Injured by flying debris; David Richard a. a boy, acalded and arm broken; William Onh, roller, badly acalaed Frank Good, a boy, badly cut oa the bead; Patrick Henderson, abearsmac, seriously acalded and injured by falling debris; David Smith, abearaman, badly acalded; Joseph Getxe, a boy, acalded, not serionaly; William Simpson, a toy, acalded and Injured by debris; Charles ileywood. puddler, seriously hurt by flying debris; Joseph Sterner, aactaant engineer, badly bruised and slightly cut; Joseph Xeff.

a bey, badly scaJded. and Barth Anderson, gauger, terribly burned; be will probably not recover. There was a pathetic scene the riends and relatives of the victims rath' ered about the wreck. Scarcely had tbe hills along the Allegheny ceased to reverberate when frenzied, frightened wives, mothers and children began to rash upon the cene and peer aoxfously into the fanes of gasping and dying men. seeking to identify their loved ones or inquiring in agonized tones if tbey had escaped.

Women half dressed, others putting oa their clothing as tbey ran. children almost auJe, and screaming at the top of their voices, crowdrd and jostled each other fa a mad ruh for the mill. Arriving there, there was silence for a moment, and then a woman's wail was heard, and another aad another, until there was nothing but a discordant chorus ot feminine shrieks and moans and cries of anguish. The cries and groans of the pat boiled men would occasionally iie above the women's voices. It was an awful scene, and ths nbyticiins who arrived at this time saki tbey were almott unnerved at the sight and in prerence of so ranch bu man suffering physical and mental.

lhe injured were found lyio ia all positions. Some of them were so far away from the battery tbat it seemsd impossible tbat ILry could have been injured by the explosion. The large number of boys hurt is accounted for by the fact tbat tbey wss employed to handle hoop iron which ware roiled ia the mill neatest the boilers. It was luliy twenty minutes after the explosion before the boy, Frank Murray, was taken out from under a truck, where he was ihruwa. In addition to being scalded, te was terribly crushed by tbe weight of lhe iron piled on top of him.

James Cat la and Frank Martin suffered mott from eacap ing steam. No hopes are entertained of tbe recovery of any one of tbe three named. The others are expected to recover, but tbe majority will carry marks at long as they live. Tbe interior of the finishing mill presented a terrible sight of desolation after theaccklenu Things were bad.ya recked. Tbe boilers, six In number, futra a battery, which Is located ia tbe extreme southwest corner of tbe mills.

The mud drum runs lengthwise under all six boilers. It was the end of this which blew out. With such fearful jrce did it explode as to scatter destruction oa all aides. All tbe boilers were unhealed. Two ot them were tilted back and some of them are on end.

In the reir tbe wall ot masonry was moved outward. A very remarkable feature was the jamming of tbe mud drum's bead against one of the engines. This engine was situated a few yaids north of the boilers. Bnrst iron was blown directly against tbe cylinder head of tbe engine, maahing it to pieces and blowing the whole bead outward. From this the steam rushed out with a loud, hissing sound.

Large stocks ot hoop iron were blown over the mill, machiaes were upset, rolls turned over and, la one inetaece, a wheel barrow was trundled through a door. Iron machines and benches were all thrown together in inextricable masses, under which several of the men were buried. Mr. Powers, chief engineer, says the boilers and mud drums were inspected by the Hartford boiler insurance company two months ago, and were then pronounced safe. He is certain they were all right when he lea last evening, and can only acconnt for tbe explosion oa the ground that the iron ia the mud drum was too weak to stand the pressure to wnicn it was subjected.

Twice be for accidents of this pature have occurred at the mill. Tbe fi'st one took place a few years ago, but no one was killed. Tbe second transpired only eigbtbtcen months ago, and although several persons were scalded, no one was fatally butt. On the latt occasion two men were arrested for tampering with the boilers, but there was no proof on which to convict them. Tm of the Ttctltns ltm4.

Two of the victims. Cat too and Murray, died at lhe West Pena Hospital this morning. Three or lour others are not expected to recover. The explosion was caused by the mud eating through the coating of tbe mud drums. Sume pieces of tbe drum that wtra picked up were not more than one thirty second part of an inch In thickness.
