0 AN ELECTRICIAN’S DREAM. OF RECENT DISCOVERIES A VALUABLE SUGGES- USES AND ADVANTAGES IN ELECTRIC LIGHTS TION TO GAS COMPANIES—A REVOLUTION IN HOUSEHOLD MATTERS PROMISED —-PECULIARI+ TIES OF RECENT INVENTIONS. Wassunerox, Nov. 23, 1878, As complete success in illuminating by the electric light is day by day approaching nearer, snd as every- thing of interest on this all absorbing topic is loc kod for with the greatest anxiety by the public, I took advantage of a recent opportunity to speak with Mr. J. B, Fuller, the electrician, of the probable effect of | recent discoveries upon vested interests and the ecg- nomic advantages to society generally. E¥YECT ON THE GAS COMPANIES. With regard to the effect of general iMumination upon gas companies Mr. Fwler (lifers materially trom the expressed opinion of inany other electri- cians with whom T have conversed. “Vhey will, of course, receive a severe check,” said he, “which, probably, they justly deserve, and which may, and will, for atime at least, greatly re- duce the value of their stock; but in the end, and that at not @ very remote period, there is no good and valid reason why they may not fully recover their temporary loss, and, instead of decreas- ing, increase their business to an enormous extent; and there are now inventors in Washington turning their attention to this subject with a view of carry- | ing out the following suggestions — “There is nothing more inevitable than that gas, for iNuminating purposes, will very roon be reduced to less than one-eighth of the prerent production, and that the electric fluid, with all its purity and health- fulners, will be substituted for it. Now, let the gas companies of the United States agree at once to offer rewards, say, of $59,000, $20,000 and $15,000 for the first, second and third best inventions in gas stoves n whieh all the products of combustion are carried off by the chimney, and the best adapted tu all the uses of the modern house, from the parlor to the kitchen. Then let the builders offer similar rewards or prizes for the best models of houses adapted to the econom- ical use of gas fuel, and the thousands and thousands of American inventors, with their heads brimming tull of brain, only waiting for proper inducements, will oon furnish ail that is required in this diree- tion. Then we shall see a new era in domestic in- dustry. _ BAD BOR ANTHRACITE COMBINATIONS. “The almost boundless fields of bituminous coal, which for countless ages have lain undisturbed, will then open and pour forth their contents to-all the large cities of the Union. The gas that can be pro- duced from this coal, while unfit for illumination, has tremendous heating qualities, as has been fre- quently proven, and is much less costly than our gas as at present generated. This, I remark incidentally, will of course put a quietus upon the coal monopolies of Pennsylvania. “There will be then no more setting up and taking down of stoves, and the inevitable and consequent family jars; there will be no more necessity for ing- ing up coal in coal hods, no emptying ash barrels. Ro industry would suffer, but perhaps Dixon's stove polish, and even that would be wanted in making electric carbons. When the electric light supersedes gas then the manufacture of copper would be greatly increased for the construction of machines and condueters, and the value of copper shares would undoubtedly go up. Mach house may also have a small electric motor for running sewing machines and machines for other light work, there being a large nuniber already patented, but useless when run. by expensive battery currents. ‘Those who expect to work heavy machinery at a distance from the gene- _ tator will certainly be disappointed. The same may be said in regard to heating buildings by electricity. Yo carry ont these views no material alterations would be required in the present ms plaut. such as pipes, &e.; tne manufacture would be simplified, inasmuch i Some of the component parts of coal gas, which produce the most heat, cannot be burned openly in-a room on account of their unheatthiness, but in such a stove as suggested above it would be much safer to burn than coal in our ordinary stoves. OLD INVENTIONS MADE VALUABLE, “There is avery curious tact in relation to the inven- tion of electric lights, and one which very few people would ever think of unless their attention was called to it specifically. Iailnde to the fact that the intro- duction of magneto-electric machines. has rendered very valuable many old inventions, which, with bat- teres, were useless, but now, with stight modifica tions, they are well adapted to the best my ‘elee| ‘tric machines: Peds vrais of inventors has been Pee oceupiel, is now in fact being occupied, in devising uesns for subdividing the current of ‘powerfal machines, so that a large number of lights, each of the power of a single gas burner, may be pro- duced in a single circuit, each independent of the other and convenient and easy to govern like gas, re- quiring no very extraordinary intelligence to manage, and also in producing a meter by which the time of burning and quantity burned may be registered. Several inventors claim to have accomplished atl these objects, notably Mr. Edison, as I am informed.” SUBDIVISION OF THE LIGHT. Inasmuch as Mr. Fuller intimated to me that he had patents pending for the accomplishment of all these objects i obtained his permission to question the examiner in the Patent Ottice as to his system of subdivision of the light. The examiner assured me that by this system the current conld be divided into local circuits, in which the luminous pvints are placed, and that each and all were abeohtute inde- ut of each other. The luminous points tor the slectric lights may be of carbon, porcelain, kaolin or platinum, all of which were tried over twenty-tive years ago, but failed on account of the battery cur- tents then employed. Tu regard to the ytilization of the present yas fix- tures, they will undoubtedly all be nsed in the Nights, also the street laup-posts, but the street wains will probably be didearded, for, as above stated, they would be required for gus fuel, and, even if they were not, the gas would soon destroy the in- sulation. In reply to a question by your correspondent Mr. . Fuller stated that he had never kept his inventions secret (some tour previous patents, one dated October 19, 1875), but that they were all publicly exposed in the machine shop where they were made and worked, it being a general machine shop. It is not necessary to go into details, but in afew weeks his systems, under his new patent now hoped to issue by the Patent Office, will be in operation in one of the most pnbljic locations in New York city, where all will have an opportunity of judging for themeelves of the mer.ts of his plans from actual observation. There is one mitter in regard to Mr. Edison that Mr. Tuller desired me to state, and sat is, that be considered him (Edison) the most fer- tile inventor in the world; no one has ever ap- proached him, and that, while knowing nothing of gis late inventions or the electric light, he knows snough of the man and his former inventious to feel vontident that, in tine, his most sanguine expecta- uons will be fnlly realized. and thatit he had given ihe subject of electric light one-half the attention he tad given to telegraphy he would have been far ihead of all his competitors in this grand and noble race. COLOR OF THE LIGHT. Almost any color tint may be obtained by the elec- tric light by combining with the carbons the proper chemicals during the manufacture or by saturation Mterward. ‘Lhe natural violet rays, which are soine- whut objectionable, are neutralized by the addition of afew grains in each carbon of chloride of sodium, producing a yellow tint like the sunlight. Magnesia produces a very white light and is well adapted to photography. A mixture of arsenic, on the contrary, Grednces & light almost devoid of chemical effect. artous prote-saits and enlphates of the metals may be so combined as to produce almost any desired tolor. OFHKE INVENTIONS, | mi | the robbery pointed ont. ploy of L. P. Howell & Co., leath& NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1878—TRIPLE. SHEET. THE STEWART OUTRAGE. INTEREST IN THE CASE BEGINNING TO WANE | FOR WANT OF ANY SUSTAINING DEVELOP- MENTS. “There is absolutely nothing new to communicate | in relation to the profanation of Mr. Stewart's grave,” said Judge Hilton last evening. The Judge held his usual conference with Inspector Murray, but re- | ined only a few minutes, whereas he has hereto- | fore spent an hour or two with him each day. The | police haveall united upon the theory that the missing hack driver, Kelly, had a hand in the outrage. His ac- | tions on the night of the outrage, the lie he told to account for his whereabouts when he returned the next day, the large sum of money ho displayed and his sudden and unexplained flight prove almost con- clusiyely that he was engaged in some crime on that night, and, so far as known, the Stewart outrage wes the only one committed at that time. | His flight was chronicled in these columns at the time, and hi robuble connection with tion—and it has been but little—concerning his meve- | ments has tended to strengthen that theory. The police, however, did not lay much strees upon it Until ‘every pter posible clew in their hands had been exhaustell, and they were obliged to adopt this or admit that they could discover nothing at all about the perpetrators of the crime, It is suspected that Kelly bas been frightened by the hue and crx raised about him and has gone to Canada. Detectives who had been hard at work on the case are returning to their ordinary duties, and the indefatigable letter writers begin fo weary of paying postage on missives to Judge Hilton. Unless something is unearthed within #day or two the case will likely paes into history, and the resurrectionists can shake hands in quiet freedom with the Manhattan bank burglars, WASTED ENERGY. The Hearn is still in daily receipt of no end of letters telling where the body is cor or furni ing the names of persons implicated in stealing it. One of these correspondents gave the name of a cooper | who disappeared on the night of the robbery and has not since been heard from. It was stated that he had prepared u barrel for the reception of the body and had hooped it up and filled it with spirits after the roblery. The HeRratp investigated many such “clews’’ as this; but, as they led to nothing, nothing was written about them. In the case referred to it was found that the cooper, a theretofore steady father of a family, had indeed run away with a body, but it that of a young widow of twenty-seven, who is still alive and kicking. Tho man is fifty-two, and leaves a wife and two children. ‘Another letter gave expressions said to have dropped trom the lips of the janitor of 2 large tenement down town, and connecting him with the crime. The man proved to be honest in every respect, and the letter was probably wri ten by some tenant who had been dunned for his reat. AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY. A private detective, who has an office on Broad way, is the author of a story put in circulation yes- terday concerning an alleged crime at a lying in asylum in this city. As he declines to furnish names or locate the institution his statements were received with caution. The detective alluded to states that on Thursday last a woman known to him | made affidavit that about the Ist of October she was taken to the house of ‘‘a prominent uptown physi- cian,” who performed three or four surgical operations upon her; that she was then driven to tho lying-in establishment kept by a woman in league with the physician, and while there wit- nessed what she believes to have been a horrible crime. According to the story she hecame acquainted there with @ young woman who had formerly been a domestic with a family in Forty-eighth street, and who was in a dan- gerous condition. Fwo days later this young woman | ‘ied, aud—always following the story—her body was placed upon a board, to which came two men of re- ailsive appearance, conducted by men of the estab- ishment. While the door of the room was open for, minute she saw one of the men raise one arm of the corpse with his left hand, while in his right he held a bright steel instrument—then the door was closed. Next day the deponent asked the mistress what had become of the body of the deceased inmate, and was told that it was taken away by two men. “I have,” said this ogress very frankly, ‘to employ them to’ get rid of the ents who die here, and they have to tako the bodies away at night 80 as not to arouse the sus- picions of the neighbors.”” ‘The private detective, who asserts that thie story is true, was asked last night whether he intended to arrest the guilty Tprsons. He regretted, he said, that he would be unable to do #0, as, unbappily, the “prominent physician” and the deponent, lady moving in the best circles of New York society,” as rs the woman who kept the den, had all left the fy SITY BRIGANDS. A GANG OF ROWDIES ATTEMPT TO ROB THE GRAND STREET CROSSTOWN CARS. The Grand Street Crosstown line of cara, that ran between Grand and Desbrosves street ferries, have for the past two month= started a car every fifteen min- utes after midnight until five o'clock in the morning, when the-cats run on their usual daily time. Of late the drivers of these cars, which are of the bobtail va- riety, have been molested and their lives threatened by @ gang of roughs who follow them along their route until a secluded quarter is reached, when they attack them and attempt to get at the money box in the front part of the car, which always contains the sum of $10. From the start at Grand street ferry ‘until the car reaches Broadway the route is compara tively safe, bat it is after leaving Broad- way and passing South Fifth svenue and down Desbrosses street that the danger Plies, About two weeks ago, as one of the cars was passing through Washington street, near Desbrosses, it was 9 tacked by four of the gang. who were concealed be- hind a pile of bricks, ‘They waited until the vehicle | got quite near, when they sprang out together. Two of them took hold of the horse, another entered rear of the car, it is supposed to divert the attention of the driver, while the fourth made « dash for the money box, Fortunately the driver did not lore his self-porscs- sion, and, picking up his car hook, he succeeded in beating them off, but not before they had captured $2 from the receptacle. On several more recent occa- sions this same thing has occurred to other drivers, 80 to guard against it precautionary measures have been taken to give the offenders a warm reception. This was discov on Saturday night, when » westward bound car was stopped at Sullivan street by the driver of one going in an opposite direction. “They are laying for you,” said the driver. “They are in Washington and prepared to jnmp in the car when it comes along.” ‘There was a sensation among the few passengers who interpreted the road employé’s words correctly and themselves for an adventure in the heart of the city. But the action of a person smong them was somewhat reasanring. “We have prepared for these fellows,” said he, and he produced a formidable revolver. He was an agent of the company, armed to the teeth, atid inveatt| Ly showed that sitch @ one now does duty on all the ears that pars acrovs town during the “wee ema’ hours.” ROBBED WHILE DRUNK. John Ward residen at No. 170 Morris avenue, New- ark, and hes for twenty-seven years been in the em- mannfacturers, at their office in New York, his position being that of a porter, Out of his eernings Ward saved $2,400, which amount he had in the savings banke of Newark and New York, Afew days ago he became alarmed AU subsequent informa- | charged Po! to which was added foot notes of the passageways, en- trances to safes and strong rooms, and the casiest means of egress from the place. The street fronting the bank was marked “Broadway, south corner of * and the southern side of the building fronted on @ cross street not named. ‘The prisoner was held in 000 to answer. STABBED IN THE BACK. William Lyons, twenty years of age, of No. 429 East Sixteenth street, came to the Eighteenth pre- cinct station house last night and said he was stabbed by an unknown man on the corner of Sixteenth street and First ayenue. ‘Two men were quarrelling on the corner, when he interfered to prevent a fight. One of them drew a shi instrument and thrust it into his back. Sergeant Fanning did not believe his story, however, and sent an officer to investigate the inatter, He had not arrested either of the unknown meu at midnight. Lyons was sent to Bellevue Hospital, CITY NEWS ITEMS. Andre Bressant, an account of whose operations as a confidence man'has already been published in the Henatp, was remanded to the Central Office yester- day by Judge Otterbourg, at Jefferson Market Police Court. John Sanders, a sailor, stopping at No. 8 Monroe street, was found last evening opposite No, 27 Cham- bers street with severe scalp wounds and intoxicated. He was treated in the Oak street-station by the police surkeon. ‘y Richard Plunkett, who was acensed of having em- bezzled a large sum of money from the firm of Sloanc & Co., No, 649 Broadway, was arraigned before Judge Otterbo' it Jefferson Market Police Court, yes day, to be sent before the District Attorney to-day, as the prisoner, though arrested on Saturday night only, had already been indicted for the offence of which he is accused, Ellen Fitzsimmons was yesterday found uncon- scious in Water street and taken to the New street station house where, after five hours’ sojourn, she re- mained insensible, She was admitted last evening to the Chambers Street Hospital suffering from Briglit’s Gipeere, of the kidneys. Her residence was not ob- tained. SUBURBAN NOTES. William Kelly, residing at No. 1,882 Fulton street, was arrested on Saturday night ‘last on a charge 6¢ Healing $27 from the pocket of Sainnel Gilbert while the latter was sleeping in a saloon, corner of Fulton street and Schenectady avenue, Brooklyn, When searched the prisoner had in his possession $16, He was held to await examination before Judge Walsh. Mrs. Ellen Zill, of No. 68 Jay street, who was so brutally beaten by George Zill, her husband, on Fri- day night last that her life was despaired of, was last evening reported by the resident physician at the Brooklyn City Hospital to be doing well. Though her skull is slightly fractured strong hopes of her ultimate recovery are entertained by the medical staff at the hospital. i Since the morning of October 28 Lawrence Kenney has been missing from his home, corner of Myrtle and Hudson avenues, Brooklyn. On the day in ques- tion he had a considerable sum of money in his session, but gave no intimation of hits intend ab- sence, The family of the missing man stated yester- day that though he had not been heard from directly they had heard that he had gone to Ireland. Adam Baltz, aged cighteen years, Charles Ward, fourteen years old, and Geo! % were arrested yesterday Officer Herman, of the Tenth precinct, Brooklyn, on suspicion of entering the apartment of A. T. Mitchell, ‘No. 77 Flatbush avenue, and stealing a watch and other jewelry, valued at $191, The apartment was entered by means of false keys. The boys are held to await examination before Jndge Ferry. James Turney, of West Brighton, 8. I., Deputy Col- Jector of Internal Revenue for Richmond county, who raided and destroyed an illicit distillery a week ago on the south beach, yesterday found three more bar- rels of whiskey buried in the sand near the ssmo place. Tom Burke and his wife, who occupy the remises where the whiskey was found, say they now nothing about a still located there. Both have been summoned to appear before Commissioner Wins- low, at Brooklyn, this morning. Samnel S. Norman, a commission merchant, of No. 7 Bowling Green, on the 27th @f September last, a car conductor, of Brook- lyn, with having stolen a diamond ring from him. Tt appears. a young lady charged that Norman had insulted her. Brennan put Norman off the car, and after the scuffle the ring was missed. Norman has written a letter to Brennan regretting that he made the charge he did against him and exonerating him from all blame in the matter, as the ring has been returned to him (Norman). ‘The fnneral of Mr. Robert Beggs, the journalist, who died on Friday, took place yesterday from his late residence, No. 11 Wayue street, Jersey City, and was largely attended. ‘The remains were encased in a handsome cavket and covered with a profusion of floral offerings. Masonic services were held at the house by Una Lodge, F. and A. M., of which the de- ceased Was a member. The remains were taken to St. Mathew’s Episcopal Church, in Sussex street, Where the last sad rites were lormed by_ Ret. Dean Abercrombie. The Taerat em athe Jersey City Cemetery. Mr. V. Connor, the present County Clerk of Rich- mond county, it is rumored, will not recognize Mr. Cornelius Hart, the newly elected clerk, as his suc- cessor on the grounds that he cannot take the ‘“iron- clad oath of "" in uecordance with the revised statutes, which requires all judicial officers to take that oath. Mr. Counor clsims that Mt. Hart had promised a subordinate position in his office to one of his workers at the polls before tle election, which would prevent him from taking that oath. However, Mr. Hart has already been duly sworn in by County Judge Weatervelt. Robert Harriott, the pedestrian, so widely known under the sobriquet of “Mickey Free,” who died on ‘Thursday last, was buried yesterday from his late residence, on Newark avenue, Jersey City, The fu- neral was largely attended, among the prominent cit- imens present being Sheriff Toffey, Justice Pelobet, ex-Speaker Cuscallen, Assemblyman Stilsing, Alder- man Lawrence and’ Inspector Murphy. Several companies of the Grand Army of the Republic and a number of political clubs escorted the remains to St. Bridget’s Church, on Mercer street, and thence to St. Peter's Cemetery, where the body was buried. VICTIM OF 'THE HORIZONTATs BAR. (From the St. Louis Democrat, Noy. 11,) ‘There will be sincere mourning in athletic circlea this morning when the announcement is nade public that Charlie Leaman, the young gentlenan who con- tributed so much to the success of the entertainments gotten up by the Missouri Gymnasium, breathed his last jast night at half-past six o'clock. It will be re- membered that, six weeks ago last Saturday Mr. Lea- man fell from a horizontal bar at Louisville, sustains ing injuries which paralyzed hie lower limba. He waa carefully nursed by the kind ladies of Louisville, and had recovered to such an extent that it was thought advisable to bring him home. He arrived here by boat last ‘Thursday and was taken to his residence, No. 612 Wainnt street, where be had lain perfectly con- scious until last night, when his spirit passed away. His lower limbs had sbrivelled to almost nothing, and the once strong athlete was more helpless than & child. Had he lived it would have been as a cripple tor life. ‘The deceared was twenty-eight years of age on the 30th of last December. He wasa native of Ohio, but is not known to have any near reiatives. His re- mains were taken to Sinithers’ undertaking extab- lishment, from whence they will be buried on Tues- day afternoon, xt two o’clock. Young Leaman was a universal favorite, and his sad fate will be mourned not only here but in Cincinnati and Louisville, where bis skilful formances had made him a public pet. He tfivelied one season a# a professional. but threw up his engagement to enter into business in thts city. FLOGGING FOR CALIFORNIA. {From the San Francisco Alta.) The proposition of Delegate Campbell to incorporate flogging as one of the punishments proper under the naturally considered themse! KIDNAPPING GRANT. DENIAL OF THE STORY THAT THE JAMES BROTHERS TRIED TO CAPTURE HIM. [From the St. Paul Pioneer-Press.7 ‘The readers of the Pioneer-Press undoubtedly read the article in Sunday's paper with reference to the attempted kidnapping of General Grant in the spring of 1864, in which it was reportel that the two Younger brothers, the James’ brothers and John Jarrett were connected, With an idea of getting at the facts in the ease, the reporter, through the kind- ness of the warden, Captain Reed, was permitted to interview Cole Younger, wifo, after carefully reading the article referred to, denied the thing in toto, and proceeded to relate the condition of affairs at the time as known to himself and borne out by history. Gov- ernor Allen, he says, never made any such proposition, for being on confidential terms with him und holding many conyersations upon the situation and condition of affairs, he would be ‘Y likely to have known something about it. Besides, the James brothers were at this time with Quantrell’s guerrillas in Missis- sippi and never were in Lonisiana at all. Jim and Bob were uot in the army at the time mentioned, they both being quite young, aged respecttvely fifteen and eight years, They were at home. Cole's whereabouts and operations he related as follows:—In the fall of 1808, he, in charge of one company, and David C. Poole of another, under command of Captain John Jarrett, with 200 men strong, acting as tisan rangers in the detache. service, came from Missouri by way of Texas, a march of nearly one thousand miles, to drive off the frecbooters who were stealing and carrying off everything of value upon the Missi¢- sippi River, and their first raid was made on Decem- ber 20, 1863. Fights were had at Omeka, Milligan’s Bend and Goodrich’s Landing, from which? they fell back to Bastrap about the 27th of the same month. They eneceeded in driving everybody, save the set- tlers, off the river from Milligan’s Bend to Lake Provi- dence, # distance of about one hundred miles by tho river. One thing only successfully resisted their raid, and that was a camp of smallpox patients, They ‘ives unable to take that, and retired in haste. Thore were no regular federal troops in this vicinity at that time. There was conf siderable fighting, however, a»d much bloodshed- but all prisoners taken were treated as prisoners 0, war. . At the conclusion of the raid the command went to General Shelby’s at Camp Whitehall, in Camden, Ark., and Cole there joined the regular army. This was in January, 1864, Joe Lee remained at Moore- house parish, Bastrap, raised a battalion and opera- ted from that time until the close of the war upon the Mississippi River, Tho siege of Vicksburg was in 1863, and that placo surrendered in July of that year, after which, and at the time of the alleged attempt at kidnapping, Gen- eral Grant was in Virginia. The headquarters of tho federal army were at Jackson, Miss., and not at Milli- yan’s Bend, while the commands of the Southern army were vested in General Kirby Smith, com- mander of the trans-Misgissippidepartment; General Holmes, of the State of Arkansas; General Sterling Price, of the arm; General Shelby, of the brigade, and General Marmaduke, of the divis- ion. During the conversation Cole became very much interested, talking quite earnestly and describing the acenes and incidents with much minuteness. In this connection it may be remarked thut the officers of the Penitentiary have relaxed none of their original vigilance toward the Younger brothers, but ever keep @ watchfnl eye upon their mbvements. The whole discipline of the prison is excellent, en) at a higher standard thanever before kuown in the history of the nstitution. “CHIVALRY” I (From the Waco (Texas) Rxaminer.} The particulars of quite a serious affair to the Agri- cultural and Mechanical College near Bryan have just reached the city. It seems that a smalisum of money had been stolen from the room of acadet named White- sides, and another cadet,’a boy seventeen or cighteen years of age, was suspected of the theft. One night jast week Whitesides and two comrades induced the suspected cadet to accompany them in a walk, and when they had got a short distance beyond'the college grounds one of them suddenly drew a pistol gies renting it at his head ordered him to stand. y then told him he must confess. The young man would not confess, but, on the contrary, declared his inno- cence, wheretpon they fastened a ropo around “TEXAS. his ‘neck and hung him to a tree. After allowing him to hang a moment he was lowered to the ground and again told to confess, bnt, again protesting his innocence, was the second time drawn up. When the rope was slack- ened after the second hanging the body sank to the ground, to all appearance dead. One of the three Young tuffians became wlarmed at what had been done, supposing their victim dead, and ran away, but the other two remained witn the young ian until he had returned to consciousness. ‘Then, by making threats, they exacted from him a promise that he would never speak of what’ they had done to him. Disregarding his promise, however, the injured cadet went straight to President Gurthwright and informal him of the treatment.he had received. The president called a meeting of the factilty, and the three perpe- tratore were promptly expelled and started home. ‘The authorities of Washington county learned of the affair, and at once took steps to arrest tho parties. Whitesides wes arrested ut the depot in Hempstead and taken back to Bryan. At last accounts he was in the Bryan jail. ‘The other two, whose names we have not learned, had not been arrested when we last heard from Bryan. A BRUTAL NECK TWISTER. [From the Ogdensburg (N. ¥.) Advance.} George Putney, of Lisbon, N. ¥., was arrested last week for an attempt to murder Mrs, Samons, wife of the late Stephen Samons. A few years ago Putney married an adopted daughter of Mr. and Mra. Samons. Mr. Samons at hiv death willed his property to_his wif, which at her death was to be inherited by Mrs. Putney. Soon after Mrs, Putney died, leaving an in- fant daughter. Putney thought that if Mrs, Samous was out of the way the property would go to the child and he would get it himself. On the evening of Sat- urday, November 9, he came in and found Mra. Sa- mons, ag he supposed, alone with the babe. He seized her‘and attempted to break her neck by twisting her head. He supposed be had accomplished his purpose, and threw her over the cradle, trying to make it ap- pear that she hud fallen snd killed herseit. There was, however, a woman up stains, who, hearing the noise, came down and guve the alarm ‘to the neigh- bors. ‘They at once came and found that Mrs. Xamons had revived and that Putney was again aasaniting her. They interfered and took the woman and child away. On Tuesday Putney was arrested and taken before Justice Mack, of Ogdensburg, and sent to Canton to await the action of the Grat Jury.
