VOL. NO. 228. Ml ELECTRIC FILTER SAID TO PURIFY THE WATER A Remarkably Successful Experiment in a Southern City. The latest thing in the way of purifying water is the use of electricity.

As Ilarrisburg is just at present talking of filtration as the best means to secure a pure water supply, it would, perhaps, be a good tiling for Councils to make inquiries. Lexington, since January 1st, has been doing all sorts of things to the water that is pumped from the Ohio River into the city reservoirs. Drastic measures, which included alum, perniangate of potassium, "gravity systems" and the like have been tried, but have been found wanting. In a final attempt to purify the water the municipality is now engaged in putting it through an electric process. A current of electricity of 30,000 volts pressure is being hurled through the water.

The Lexington experiments have attracted world wide attention. The municipality, since it inaugurated them, has been in receipt of letters from all parts of this country and from Kuropean cities. The unique nature of the system of purification seems to have excited international curiosity. The pumping station is about three and one half miles northeast of Lexington, on the banks of the Ohio River, whence the water is obtained. The reservoirs are two miles from the station and about the same distance from the city itself.

The daily consumption of the water is about 24,000,0110 gallons. The experiments dealt with purification of 150, 000 gallons. The experiments so far have been entirely satisfatory, apart from a mechanical difficulty connected with the imperfect insulation of the purification tanks through which the water has to pass. This is a defect which in no way militates against the system as a whole. The apparatus, in brief, is this: The water flows through a feed pipe into a porcelain lined receiving tank three feet square.

Poles from a Ruhmkorff coil enter this tank from opposite ends. There are ninety seven miles of wire on the coil, by which, with the aid of a sufficiently iwwerful dynamo, 10,000 volts of electricity nre intermittently discharged through this water. The water, through the medium of a discharge pipe, then enters a second vat, which is three feet in diameter by seven feet in depth. This last chamber is made of iron, lined with India rubber, and is pear shaped. The lower end connects with a waste pipe, by means of which the refuse and other matter precipitated during the process may be drawn off.

At the top of this chamber and also at its lower section is a series of wires connected with another dynamo, which supplies a continuous gal current, this giving the secondary electrolysis. On the top of the chamber is a large electro magnet surrounded by series of smaller ones. The water by pressure is forced past these magnets into a second vat or chamber similar to the one first named and again descends into another pear shaped The process is repeated in a third case, so that the water has to run the gauntlet of three preliminary chambers and pear vats. In all, therefore, it receives the discharge from three Ruhmkorff coils 30,000 volts to say nothing of the treatment to which it is subjected in the secondary vats. An analysis of the water when it finally is mios from its ordeal shows that it is practically chemically pure.

It is crystalline in appearance, sparkles with free oxygen, and is absolutely free from odor or taste. The process is held to be about one third cheaper than any other purifying method now known. The only thing necessary to success is to sec that the dynamos are kept in good running order and that the waste pipes, are turned at stated intervals. According to the advocates of this system, the "gravity" or ordinary filtering process is nearly four times as expensive. It is said that the Lexington residents have decided to adopt the system, and that a revolution in the art of water purification is at hand.

Some chemists allege that chemically pure water is not fit for human food, on the ground that many of the salts which are precipitated by the process described are the reverse of harmful and are indeed nee ssary for health, but these men, however, assert the contrary. If the gravity or ordinary filtering process, which it is proposed to adopt in Ilarrisburg, costs four times as much as the new electric system, would it not be well for Councils to make inquiry into the new way of purifying water? Correspondence, might at once bo opened with the Lexington authorities, and, if necessary, a committee could make a personal examination. the best, by all means, and if it is the cheapest, so much the better.

You seem to be doing that pretty well now, and I will not lie very FUN WITH SEWALL.

Democratic Nominee for Vice President Shown Dp. New York, Sept. 21. The Tribune is having fun with. Sewall, It publishes the following: George J.

Krause, of Tammany Hall, was quite right when he said to a Tribune reporter that Arthur Sewall didn't let his political theories interfere with his business. He would have been equally right if he had added that Mr. Sewall was ready at any time to sacrifice not only his political principles, but also his own and his party's political success, for the sake of his business interests. The Tribune has already shown that while Mr. Sewall as a politician and candidate for the Presidency is in favor of free coinage of silver, Mr.

Sewall as a shipowner and merchant insists upon the maintenance of the single gold standard, and that while in the former capacity he oppose the right to make private contracts calling for the payment in gold, in the latter he assiduously exercises that right That, how ever, is not all. Mr. Sewall evidently means to make assurance doubly sure that his business interests shall not suffer by the election of Bryan and Sewall on a free silver and free trade platform. He therefore lends the weight of his name and authority to the circulation of Republican campaign documents, commending the Republican platform and Mr. Mc Kinley's letter of acceptance, vigorously advocating a restoration and continuance of the Republican policy in national affairs, and urging all citizens to vote the straight Republican ticket.

That is what Arthur Sewall, Mr. Bryan's colleague on the Popocratic ticket, is doing! Here is a circular letter which is being widely distributed from what apiears to be Mr. Sewall's literary bureau. It bears the printed heading of the "American Merchant Marine Association." The first words at the top of the sheet are in capital letters "ARTHUR SEWALL, of Bath, President." The date, with exquisite appropriateness, is "September 14th, 1896" the date of the Maine election. The signature is that of "Alex.

R. Smith, Secretary," an associate of Mr. Sewall, who is believed to be a free silver man of exactly the naine kind as Mr. Sewall himself. The following extract indicates the tenor and indeed expresses the gist of the letter: "Inclosed please find extracts from the Republican national platform, and Major McKinley's letter accepting the Presidential nomination, which have reference to the Republican policy of protection to American shipping in the foreign trade.

I also inclose a four page circular containing extracts from the utterances of eminent men on the shipping question. I also beg to inclose a statement, setting forth as explicitly and briefly as iiossible, the entire shipping question, which you can use to advantage." Inclosed with this as stated, are extracts from the Republican platform and from Mr. McKinley's letter. The "four Iage circular" is largely made up of quotations from the utterances of G. Blaine, William Windom, ex President Harrison, Senator Lodge, Senator Elkins, Senator Frye, Senator Thurston, Senator elect Foraker and Joseph Ninumo, all taumch Republicans, and it is from beginning to end a detailed and earnest plea for the extension and dominance of Republican principles in the national Government.

Still more "distinctly precious" is the third inclosure mentioned, the "statement of the shipping question." It points out that the Republican party and its Presidential candidate are pledged to a policy which will enormously increase American commercial prosjwrity, while the Democratic platform and candidate are silent on the question. Here is Mr. Arthur Sewall's "statement" or Mr. Sewall's secretary's statement concerning Mr. William J.

Bryan: "In response to an inquiry addressed to the Democratic nominee for the Presidency as to his attitude upon the shipping question, his reply was that he stood upon his public utterances, but reference to his record has so far failou. to disclose any expression whatever on the part of that gentleman on the shipping question. He has, however, repeatedly and specifically denounced protection in any form, and he has openly and persistently, until now, free trade, or the nearest possible approach to it, so that it seems but fair to assume that neither ho nor his party can le depended upon to protect American shipping in the foreign trade." Surely the Boy Orator of the Platte must be grateful to his colleague for such a "certificate of character!" And with what enthusiasm must the Democratic party support a candidate for the Vice Presidency under whose name such state ments as these are sent out oroaiicast to the voters of the United States: "The Republican party and its candi date for the Presidency stand for the restoration of protection to our shops. And Democracy, if it stands for anything shipping, stands for more free traue, more national losses and larger payments to foreign ship owners for doing the carrying that Americans can, and should, far better do for themselves. Re publicanism means American prosperity Democracy means foreign prosperity.

Which shall American voters choose?" Which, indeed? And is It not pertinent to ask this other question, Mr. Arthur Sewall, Vice Presidential candi date on the Democratic Popuhstic Free Silver Ropudiationist Anarchist ticket, is not really "putting in his best, licks" for the election of McKinley and Hobart? TALKKn DOWN A MOB. Bonrke Cochran Captured the Crowd ly His Oratory. Philadelphia Ledger. Bourke Cockran has just returned from his Western stumping tour with his voice so impaired by the strain upon it that he has lieen obliged to consult his New York physician, upon whose decision will depend the question of its further use during this campaign.

It was planned that he should speak in Chicago. Omaha, Minneapolis and Toledo. The Toledo engagement had to be cancelled. Mr. Cockran arranged with the Honest Money Democratic League to make two speeches a week during the campaign, and he is under engagement to speak at.

Baltimore next Saturday. It nil depends, however, noon tin? condition of his voice, which though powerful and rich, is nevertheless easily unpaired by over use, and Mr. Cockran has to be more careful of it than most speakers. It was at Omaha that Mr. Cockran his voice, anil it was there that he made, perhaps, the ablest effort of his life.

He had an immense nudicuce, nearly half of whom were Bryanitcs who had determined to break up the meeting and spoil the effect of Cockran's speech, perhaps in retaliation for the failure of Bryan's Madison Square Garden effort. They would not listen to Secretary Morton, who presided, and so much disorder prevailed that it looked as if the meeting would end in a row. This put Mr. Cockran on his mettle, mid he brought into play all of bis great powers of oratory. The result was that the Bryanites, who stopped their hostile demonstrations for a few moments out of curiosity, were? charmed into respectful silence and some into enthusiastic applause bv the force and eloquence of Mr.

Cockrnn's oratory. Wendell Phillips mot and conquered not a few such audiences, and Beochcr, during the war, met with a similar memorable experience ill England. It. is rare nowadays, however, for a speak er to bo forced to address a hostile audi ence. Mr.

Cockran conquered the Omaha crowd, imt he ruined his voice for the tune being, and when he reached Minne apolis he couldn't speak above a whisiier. STATU POLITICS. Holliriuyshurg, Sepit. 22.

When finished it will bo used as a summer residence by Mr. Boyd, BARDSLEY IS FREE, HIS PARDON WAS APPROVED By Governor Hastings, and the Prison Doors are Opened. Governor Hastings last evening affixed his signature to the pardon of John Bard sley, and to day Bardsley became a free man.

The Governor gives no reasons why he pardoned Bardsley, and it is understood from what he has said that his action was influenced entirely by the fact that he is convinced that Bardsley's health is such that to keep him in prison would be to kill him. The Governor refused to say a word concerning the pardon, although asked by several newspaper men. It is said that his action at this time was hastened by the fact that Bardsley is alleged to have had a stroke of paralysis in prison last week. A letter received from Bardsley's sister yesterday refers to this stroke of paralysis. The pardon was made out last evening at the State Department after the Governor had made known his intentions, and was sent by mail to the warden of the penitentiary, who received it this morning.

Bardsley first applied for a pardon in November, 1895, and was refused a month later. His second and successful application was made in May, 1896, and on this occasion it was argued by ex Attorney General Ilensel, who made such a fierce speech against him during the extra session of the Senate called by Governor Pattison to endeavor to impeach the State Treasurer and Auditor General. The Governor has been the recipient of many letters asking for the pardon, and it was thought he would make a statement when he ordered the pardon to be issued, but he steadfastly refused to say anything, and insisted that he should not be quoted as giving any reasons whatever. As the Chief Executive never files any reasons why he approves a pardon, there is no way of securing the Governor's written opinion in the, matter. The prison physician in Philadelphia last night stated that Bardsley has planned the disposal of his time during the next three months.

He will leave the city immediately upon his release, but the doctor thought it would be a breach of confidence to mention his destination. He says that Bardsley has been allowed no privileges not enjoyed by the other prisoners, save that he has been weighed whenever he desired it, because of his failing health. He has been growing a moustache and a full beard for over three weeks, and his appearance is, therefore, considerably altered. During the past month the prisoner's time has been principally occupied in reading. though he has done a little carpentering work from time to time.

Btrley Is Free. Philadelphia, Sept. 22. The par don for John Bardsley, the embezzling ex eity treasurer of Philadelphia, which was signed by Governor Hastings last evening, was received by Warden Cas sidy at the jastern Penitentiary this morning. Upon its receipt the warden told Bardsley that he could leave the in stitution as soon as he desired, but the prisoner deferred his departure until this atternon.

lie was taken to the home of a relative near Philadelphia, where he will remain for several months in the hope of regaining his health. THIS PA KADIS VtCTKRANS. Chief Marshal Davis Issue Ills Final Orders. Final arrangements for the big reunion of G. A.

POST OFFICE BUSINESS. The Work Done Dnrlng the Year Proceedings Against the Senders of" Obscene l.ltteratnre. Washington, Sept. 22. The annual re port of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Wilson shows that on June 30th there were 70,350 post offices in the United States, of which (X5.725 were fourth class offices.

During the year Mississippi gained the largest num ber of offices, leading with 83, while West lrgmia lost lio. Ihe employes of the Department handled 13,851,000 pieces of registered mail with the loss of only one piece in every iu.za4. to the number ot attecting the ordinary mail matter were received, but it was found that no loss occurred in 8,153 cases of the 41,430 investigated. Mr. Maxwell traces the increasing safety of the mail matter in the West to the arrest or killing of many of the most prominent outlaws.

ennsylvania do new othces were es tablished, 42 discontinued, GO the names and sites ot which were changed, 11 fourth class offices were placed in the 'residential class and two of the latter were relegated to the former class. In Ohio 35 new offices were established, 54 discontinued, 42 names and sites changed. nine fourth class made Presidential and one Presidential made fourth class. In West Virginia 29 were established 52 were discontinued, 50 names and sites hanged, one raised to Presidential, ennsylvania ranks first in the total num ber of postoffices, having 4,974, but second only in the number of Presidential and money order offices. Ohio has 3,282 post offices and West Virginia 1,755.

In conclusion Mr. Maxwell says, re garding the sending of obscene matter by mail: The offenses of this nature are of vari ous degrees or gravity, ranging irom mere technical violations of the law to the most shocking and outrageous assaults upon decency and morality, the postal ard and anonymous letter are most fre quently utilized, as they afford a secret mid apparently safe method for the grati fiction of malice and spite. The investigation of this class of cases often leads to most startling disclosures. Both men and women of high rank and station in life. and of apparently good breeding and re finement, have been discovered to be the senders of the most shocking examples of this class of matter, and the revelations made have, in some instances, led to acrimonious dissensions, resulting in the division of communities.

The im mense profits realized from the sale of obscene literature have induced dealers to run great risks, aud sample copies of uoh publications are often sent by mail to schools and seminaries. This nefari ous business was attaining alarming proportions on the Pacific Coast and the lo iif officers appeared iKiwerless to check it. The matter was placed in the hands of our inspectors, and, as a result, in the thirteen months preceding June last. one publisher and three of the largest dealers in that territory have lieen arrested, convicted, and imprisoned. The moral effect of these convictions cannot be overestimated." KIPllSKI) Til II 1 I'AO I Ivf.
