At Has Not Turned Up ¥et, and Brown Bimpelf Sull a Mystery. : The case of John Brown, mentioned in yester- day's pauper us huving beca arrested outof En- glish Bul’s saloon, No. 463 Clark street, with a Jarge sum of money in his possession, is a3 mys- terious as ever. By long odds the worst feature in. the case is the theft of Brown's vallse con- taining nearly $1,700 after Brown had been ar- rested. ‘The mun Corrigan,.to whom Oificer itooney zave tho valise, expecting that be would earry-it to. the station, either could not or would not give-.any clew to ° tho man who ‘snatched it from his hand. The police. worked hard upon the case, and at an early hour in the morning arrived at the conclusion that a saldon loafer named Joba Cavanagh was the mun.. Immediately after the arrest be took drinks in several saloons on Clark street, and the keepers of these places noticed thut be carried j A. SMALL BROWN LEATHER VALISE.

He bas thercfure mude bis beadquarters in low lodyiny-bouses and saloons Ia dierent quarters of the oity, but no trace of him could be found in nny of them yesterday There is no longer any doubt that Brown’s story is ‘true, in so far as the statement tnat’ be ~ arrived’ in the city over the Wabash & st.

GEORGE SANGSTER. More About a” Deadbeat, George Sangster, who was mentioned yester- day as an accomplished deadbeat, appeurs to have a wider reputation than was accorded him, and, If baif that is told of him is true, he is aot only a thorough rascal, but a typical tramp and fraud. # . A reporter yesterday met one of his numer- ous victims in this city, George Keller, No. 125 Clark etreet, who is the-agent-of an Eastern publishing house, and was given whut purported To be. the fellow’s history since the War. Durmg the War the story went that he was a Director’in a bank at Norfolk, Va., running a wholesule liquor house at the same time. He failed there several times with bis pockets well lined, aud was next beard from in the employof the London ‘Publishing Com- pany, and subsequently iu the employ of. a Cin- cinnati house. In 1876 he turned up in St. Louis, and wus engaged in “* bucking the tiger,” and he escaped from that village between two days in company with a womun of the town, leaviag 2 child penniless at one of the hotels. He wis next beard of as a contidence man, and wus ply- ing his vocation umong the Hoosiers, woere he swindled the buoks by drafts upon his: employ- ers to the Lune of about 315,00. Itgrew very warm for him in those parts finahy, and be next pitched hi3 tent at Denver, where he swindied a: publisher-ont of about $0, and others out of about $9.00. Leqving the West he: returned ‘East, und about two years ugo Mr. Keller met him in Baltiaore. ‘He Was penitent, and desired to turn over anew leaf, and dir. Keller helped ‘him by iatroducing. nim to publishers, all of whom he systematically: swindled. From Baltimore be came to Chicago. and suc- ceeded in’ getting’ W. L.

Cross .with ‘ya Telephone Wire., ; Disoussion af the Subject by the Ohiefs’ of the Fire Departments, ) There Was a stugular fire in the central office of the Chicago Telephone Company on La Suile street Friday, afternoon. About £ o'clock Mr. Oviatt,\the manager, noticed smoke coming from the xoswering board, which is composed of brass strips an eighth of an inch apart, two of them being connected by a “key" or peg in making . connections, Ina minute. or two little blue and white flames began jumping from one strip to anuther across the space -be- tween.them. A cross, with an electric , light wire suggested itself at once to Mr. Oviatt, and .he disconnected the wire | which was evidently the cause of . the ‘trouble. .Re- turning to the board, be saw that me trans- mitter was burning, the current having jumped two feet to reach it. After cutting off another wire, the bux was cooled by throwing water on it, Nothing more was observed until the lapse. of a quarter of an bour, woen another section of. the board, eight feet fromthe first one which wus On fire, began to smoke. : 2 THE BLUE AND-WHITE FLAME was seen here, too.."Diseonnecting a ground wire ended the display, some water. also being used. Half an hour later the switeh, vourd,. through which connections ire mide with: the: trunk “lines, commenced to smoke, the current having ‘Jumped. ten teet tbls time.. The tames-ran sloug for two feet, and the board smokea for five minutes before the tire was out. * + ‘This cross was a very expensive one, the dam- age resulting from it being the loss of a .uicro- Paone and 2 band instrument in the office, und about twenty-nve feet of the Owl Cluo’s line on the roof, ‘The wire meited!like lead. Aa instru- ment in the store of the Chicago Music Company on State street was also destroyed, the induction coils inside meltmg. About $300 will restore everything as it was. Investigation showed that 2 w.re had been run from Willoughby, Hill & Cu.'s store to McVicker’s Theatre for the pur- Dose'of furnishing the electric light used there u purt of lust week. Its use was discontinued Thursday, but the dead wire in some way dropped down on the telephone wire, the tre- mendous current pussing through the former thus finding its way to the central office. THE EFFECT OF THIS CROSS shows how dangerous electric-lizht lines are. A current that will burn carbon will set wood on tire if it is within two feot of the wire and dump, and, tinding a better conductor than caroon, me current will take ‘to it. If great cure is not taken in stringing the lines fires will be frequent when the electric light comes {nto general use. AT THE ANNUAL CONVENTION OF CHIEF ENGINEERS ¢ of Fire Departments recently beld the subject Of fires from this cuuse was discussed. Chief Leehure suid the electric light is coming into nse.in muny cities, and be thought the tire- mea, 2s well as the public, should know whether they were calculated to endanger life and prop- erty. 2 E Chief Bates statea that. the Fire: Marshal of New York reported that the cornice of a build-. ing bad been set on fire at a pofne where itcame in contact with un electric-light wire. Ex-Chief Bennett stated that be knew of a fire occurring in Cleveland from a siinilar cause. dir. Stover, of the Gamewell Fire-Alurm Com- pany, Was called upon a3 an expert to give his views on the subject. He did so at length, and replied to many questions put to -bim by the members, ‘The substance of bis statement was that tho large wires used for currying a curreat of electricity ‘sufficient for Ngbtine purposes were dangerous tv both life and property unless thoroughly insulated; that if one of .the wires were broken and a person grasped both of the severed ends of the wire the current would pass through his .body and kill bim instantly; that the wires were charzeaso full of electricity that the current wus constanuy seeking to escape from the wire and take the Shortest route to'the ground. If, in teaving the wire, it came in con- tact with an individuul, it would be like a stroke of hgntning: {f with inflammable substances a fire would be generated. He said that the prin- ciple of electric lighting was’ yet in its infancy, and be had no doubt tho companies enguged in the business would, for their own’ protection, eventuully tind adequate means for tnsulating the wires. : t eae Chief Swenie told how a fire was caused in Chi- cage by the electricity leaving the wire where the insulution was broken, and, being attracted, ‘by a steel nail, sct tire to the building. ‘The special committee to whom this subject. was cominitted reported: ‘ “That we, the National Association of Fire Engincers of the United States, urge upon the ‘authorities of. all.cities - and ~towns ~ where ~the-| electric light is about to be introduced the ab- solute necessity of passing. ordinances govern-_ ing the manner in which all wiressball bestruog: for the purpose of producing the electric. licht. * First—That the wires shall be distinctive. from all others. iM .: Secund—Lhat they shall be thoroughly insu- “ Third—That there shall be upon the exterior. of alt buildings where the wires are. intruduced an absolutecut-out (not a mere shunt), so that in case the tremen are called upon by cause ot tire to. enter there the duuger ot instunt death— the inevitable resuit of coming in coutuct with ‘improperly insulated or broken wires under very “‘muny situations—may be in a very great meas- AMUSEMENTS. # M’VICKER’S THEATRE. ‘The play of *Pygmation and Galatea,” which ‘Miss Mury Anderson has added to her repertory and in which she appeured for. the first time in Chicago last night, Is not a new play, nor was its performance last evening the first representa- tion ft has ‘received in this city. {t was given in 1872 at the old Acudemy of Music, and has been repeated at another place of amusement withia afew years. In England, Mrs. Kendal was the, original Galatea. It was first given in this coun- try by Kute Rogers, at Wallack’s, and subse- quently starred in by Miss Leclercq, The plot. ‘o£Mr. Gilbert's pity ditfers from the old.story in several respects. ,According to tradition, Prgmalion was a célebrated sculptor of Cyprus who bad resolved nover to mar- ry, but, becoming enamored of bis own ivory statue, Venus endowed it with life, and he mar- ried her. ..The incident is beautifully woven into verse by Morris In his “Earthly Paradise.” In the modern version, however, Pygmation ts’ al- ready married, and ithasbeen agreed between him and his wife, Cunisca, that whichever proves unfaithful shall be struck with blindness. Pyg- ‘malion, in aw unguarded moment, prays that his beautiful statue miay be given life. The prayer. 1s. granted. The newly-created woman in her fnaocence, knowing only, Pyymalion, loves him. “Cynisca 1s lead. to-believe him. uofaithful, and . calls on Artemis to strike him blind. Her rash prayer is granted. Galatea personifies Cynisca and - hears trum the blind sculptor’s: lips that be has never loved her. She prays the gods to restore tu him his sight, professing her- willingness to return, to the coid mardle from wich she sprung. Sight is restored. und Galatea returoing to her pedestal: is once uguin only the chiselled stone.. ‘The play is ‘an exceedingly bright one, abounding «in -keen- satire and ready wit. Galatea’s innocence and ignorsace of evil give riso ta muny absurd situations, so.,that the comedy clement hus full play. ‘The part of Galutea, fur its adequate presen- | tation. requires. ‘beauty ‘ana ileot. Were she not bewutiful, the lines would sound ridiculous, ~ aud’ ' to portray. suecess- fully the senseless’ clay .awakenlng into new life—the maiden so innocent and simple, yet In whom {3 born the knowledge of love—the unselfish woman sacrifeme herself to save au- other—requires ability und trained skill of no mean order. in the-tenderand affecting scene +} Of the last act Miss Anderson gave 2 most ad- miruble picture of a despairing, hopeless heart, which, having lost all in life givgg up that life itself." In the comedy of the secdfd act she sur- prised her friends, Every humorous turo was fulty brought out. Her Foaibeenrres was easy, gracetul, and pleasing.
