THE STRIKERS AND THE STRIKE. Both Sides Express Confidence—The Rock Island's Policy——The City Council-The Foot Race— Personal Paragraphs. Was It Self Defense? The testimony in the case of A.B. Schisler, charged with the murder of William Keating, wa. closed yesterday afternoon. Most of the day was spent in the introduction of testimony as to Schissler’s character, which appears to have been excellent heretofore. The defendant himself went upon the stand in the afternoon and told the story of his shooting the old man. Schissler is thirty-four years of age, was born in Ohio, §ived in Missouri, and from there came here about six years ago. He had been married twelve years, and has a wife and two children, who are by his side during the trial. Yesterday after- noon among the spectators were a num- ber of the ladies who gave the bar ban- uet the evening before, and who after athering up the articles used for the tables rested themselves and satisfied their curiosity by listening to the de- fendant’s story of the lragedg'. He narrated it much as it has already peen told in the b That day he had worked as usual, went home to supper, and after supper came up town. He went to Scofield & Cavin’s, settled his account there and ordered some more groceries; went to the Star market, transacted similar business there; called at Dr. Cleaver's, and then went to John Short’s store. As he came out of that vlace and started for home, he met Tayes, who wanted him to go down Broadway, and with him went to a saloon; there sat down to a game of cards; Keating was there; had never had any acquaintance with him, simply knowing him by sight; had never had any ill-feeling toward him., A dispute arose about the game, and Schissler got uql from the table, refusing to play where there was any fussing. The party started for home, and on the wy they had a good deal of fun with Keating about two live chickens which he was carrying. Schissler had a long weed, which he used to punch the chickeuns, making them squawk, and the others pulled the chickens’ feathers. There was good-natured scufling and frolic, the old man and the fowl being the targets for the fun-making, until the old man turned about mad and ‘trouble began. Hecame toward Schiss- ler hurrie leclaring he would shoot him, and Hayes remarked fn a low tone —*"Look out ler, he’ll shoot you.” Schissler jumped behind Hayes and held him in front of him as a protec- tion until Hayes said, “I'll not stand between you any longer,” and d’umfm\ to one side, leaving him exposed. The 0ld man had his hand on his hip pocket as_if about’ to draw a revolver, when Schissler drew his revolver from his side coat pocket and fired. On cross examination Schissler was asked if he had not once attended a dance in that part of the city, and kicked up a row, firing three shots into the crowd. He denied this. He was also nsked if he did not once fire a shot when he was living in Gilmore’s house, and denied this. The proecution did not attempt to prove the occurences thus inferred to have happened. Both gides rested’'and the arguments began. —_————— On the market for over twenty years, Still the mast reliable and the most pular sewing machine made. The ight rnnning Domestic.

Cooper. e Al Both Sides of the Strike. “‘How’s the strike ¥’ queried a BEE reporter yesterday of & prominent “Q” official, ‘‘Getting pretty warm.” “Pretty hot, eh ¢’ “‘Yes, you bet—for the other fellows. ‘We are just beginning to have our fun, at their expense. We are allright though. If they keep it up another week we will be the only road running. 1 wae talking with & brotherhood man this morning, and he seemed to think there would soon be a gencral strike. However, I will tell you one thing—the strike is practically settled, as far as the **Q"is concorned. We are running ull right, and there will be no settle- ment, at least that is now the under- standing.” The strikers si:'mf tune, only. the words are changed so as to read in this way: “The ‘Q’ folks are getting to the end of their roj rreny fast, and it won't ong - ‘until the strain will break the last strand, and then when the other roads turn in and help the public kick, and all business is ut a standstill, you will see the ‘great Burlington’ come to its milk just like lots of better folks have to. Let ’em talk about ‘everything running as usual;’ time will tell whether they are ahead, and the ones that laugh last will laugh the loudest and longest.” at the Rock Island proposes to re- main neutral will be seen by the instruc- tions received by S. 8.

There is much complaint made in re- gard to the stopping of the city clock on the Bloomer school building, and many of the citizens think that the school board should see to it at once that it is again set running. The stoppage oc- curred during the recent sleet storm, and was caused by the sleet and rain being driven against the hands and pivots, and then freezing up solid, com- E};swly wedging them so they can not turned. The trouble ‘is upon the north side, and for that reason it will be some time ‘before it is thawed out. - It is impossible to reagh the ice from the inside, and as it would cost ' considerable to gettoit from the outside, the members of the board ure Wflllhlfi tolet warmer weather do the work without' any interference. The majority of the citizens had no idea how much they depended upon this single city ticker until it ceased to run, antl its strokes will be doubly welcome when it is again set in motion. A Fel £, Song. The 5t. Cecelia quartette last evening fully sustained the reputation already guined, and really won fresh honors, The, concort was of a high order, and yet of 8o popular a tinge as to be enjoye able to all, .The audience wasof goodly numbers, considering the condition of the streets, and the various attractions to draw people elsewhere. The ladies’ quartette had three seiectionson the pro- gramme, but the enthusiasm of the audi- ence caused them to give double this :unll)be}; “(‘Annio‘{mgr e,” Mdml“m;;ze(} . Buck. proved the most ghittul o'ull, as it br‘-’ml ht out fl%‘l y t%u indi- vidual merits of the several voices, as well as their perfect harmony. In re- sponse to the encore the quartet gave ‘‘Be Still My Heart.” An arrangement of “‘Robin Adair” was also one of the leasing numbers. Goldberg's “Good ight” was given by the quartet grnndly‘l most fitting closing t the evening’s treat, Besides these numbers by the ladies as a quartette, Miss Merkel and Mrs. Evans gave a charming duet. Mrs. Ward gave as a #olo ‘‘The Finger Post,” which was one of the most enjoyable se- lections. She has a wonderfully rich voice, and with enunciation so perfect that every word was clearly understood by all, she rendered it with much feeling and expression. The solo of Mrs. Wads- worth, ‘‘Carnival of Venice,” was a re- markable showing of her cultured voice, and the Scotch ballad in response to the encore, ‘““Nae Room for Twa,” was en- thusiastically received. The St. Cecelia quartette was assisted by other local talent. Mv. I. M. Trey- nor gave most excellently “Come to Me,” Miss Kate Pusey sang very sweetly “Forbidden Music,” and the en- thusiastic applause calling her forth ufnin,sho sang . in _her unpretentious pleasing manner, ‘‘She’s Fooling Thee.” As a change from the vocal music, Colonel Tulleys and Frank Badollet favored the audience with a well exe- cuted flute duet. Miss Wies served as accompanist during the evening, and much of the enjoyment of the pro- gramme was due to her skill and good taste. Such a concert was certainly a credit- able showing of home {aient, and one in which the city can take pride justly. - Dr. R. Rice, No. 11 Pearl st., will give compound oxygen treatment at 50 cents each sitting. i A Walk-Away For the Audience. Lack of an audience caused .a post- ponement of the running match, which was announced to take place at Masonic hall last evening. Evidently the sport- ing fraternity do not take kindly to these exhibitions. They have been bitten so often that they fight shy of a “hippodrome.” Those who pretend to know say this race will be run ‘“‘on the uare.” Last evening those who had already paid their “‘quarters” had them refunded, and an indefinite postpone- ment was announced. That Tired Feeling Afflicts nearly every one in the spring. The system having become accustomed to the bracing air of winter, is weak- ened by the warm days of the changing season, und readily yields to attacks of disease. Hpod’s Sarsaparilla is just the medicine needed. It tones and builds up every part of the body. and also ex- 1s all impurities from the blood. Try 1t this season. ———— A DAY IN THE WHITE HOUSE. How the Newspapers Relieve the Mo- notony of Hard Work. The Cleveland day is an _interesting one in some ways, says a_ Washington lotter to the Boston Record. The presi- dent is usually up at 6 a. m. and at work on papers left over from the night be- fore. Sometimes on going into the library it will be full of the law books he has left on the chairs while hunting up cases. He has a colored boy to take full charge of his library, and when he issues special orders the boy puts back on his arrival the books taken down the night before. Breakfast is served at 9 a. m, and by the time it is over Colonel Lamont has come. Then is the time when Mr, and Mrs. Lamont set about the table in the end of the upper corridor and make plans for the next day. Then is the time, too, when the scrap- books are looked over. Colonel Lamont does a great partof thescrap-book work. He has had a deal of practice as ex- change-reader in the office of the Albany Argus and elsewhere,and there isn't a better or faster reader, a quicker eye, than the colonel’s. He looks over about forty pepers an hours, dashing his pencil at the article he wants scissored and flipping to one side for a hoy to clip. The New York papers are read most carefully, Boston and Chicago next. All deferences to the president go into one book, all references to Mrs. Cleveland into another, and so on. The books are all turned over 1n the morning, with much talk of a critical and often of a jolly nature. Then the president goes back to his room and his callers again, Mrs. Cleve- land to her correspondence or callers, and the day progresses. The tete-tete of the morning lasts an hour, and then the president refuses to be disturbed. He often does on other times. But ea~ er, audacious visitors overcome that. 'he favorite trick isto say the presi- dent made an appointment for such an hour. The president’s mind is too much charged with more important matters for him to dispute this, and so in the visitor Lunch comesat I and Colonel Lamont sometimes stops to lunch. Oftentimes he goes home, however, and unless some of Mrs, Cleveland’s Wells friends are there the Clevelands are alone. Even then the privacy is sometimes in- vaded. Take the case os the visit of the educational people there the other day. The president shook hands with them, neatly evading the motions of an old lady who was bound to kiss him, and then threw oren the parlors to them, going himself to lunch. The ed- ucational association folks wandered about until one happened to see that the dining-room aoor was open, and at once walked over to glance in. This cheeky act attracted still more comrades, and there were fully twenty gaping in at the white houseluncheon,when an attendant came and closed the door. So says one of the well-bred visitors who was there at the very time. . G 'The evenings at the white house are not always) or all devoted to work. The piano in the green room is fre- quently opened and used. The mistress of the house has avoice of average qual- ity and range, and sings for her own amusement or that of her guests. Miss Kate Willard, the latest guest, sang particularly well, But there is work in the evening, after 10 often, and it has been known that callers have come up as late as 11 or midnight. In fact, the policemen and watchmen at the house have come to never be astonished at. seeing a vis- itor.

LY B INVENTORS AND INVENTIONS, ‘The Genius of a Clergyman Brings ‘ Him a Fortune. RARE LUCK OF AN The Interesting Romance of a Female Inventor Who Refused One For- tune and in Fair Way to Make Another. IRISH BOY. Pittsburg (Pa.) Correspondence of the Globe-Democrat: “I divide inventors into three classes,” said one of the Con- nelly Bros., the . patent attorneys, who have offices in this city, Philadelphia and Washington. = ‘‘They are the pro- fessional inventors, those who once or severally in a lifetime strike a happy idea, and those who invent from neces- sit 1 put Charles E.Ball of New York, Rev. Ezra B. Lake of Philadel- phia, and George Westinghouse, jr., in the first class. The second class can be found everywhere, and those who in- vent from necessity are manufacturers who are continually improving their plants. It is said George Westinghouse, known all over the world as the inven- tor of the air-brake bearing his name, has taken out about 1,000 patents. “‘Rev. Lake,” said Mr. Connolly, “and his brothers are nll Methodist clergy- men, and all inventors. Ezra B., who is between fifty and sixty years of age, took out his first patent about fifteen years ago, and now has about forty, which have netted him a fortune. He is the principal owner of Ocean Grove. He got options on the land, organized a syndicate in Philadelphia and pur- chased the entire island. He is worth probably about $200,000, and made a good deal of money on curtain fixtures. His latest invention is quite novel. Itis a new idea in life saving. designed to do awny with the {n'escnt methods in vogue along the Atlantic seacoasts, and all sen coasts, for that matter, for he has taken out patents in nearlyall European countries. The invention might be called a gigantic tricyele. It has three wheels, nine to ten feet in diameter, which run along the bottom of the sea. and are capable of overcoming hollows to the depth of nine feet. The motive- power is a steam engine placed high above the water on a platform, upon which the engineer and rescued marin- ers and passengers will find a refuge. Rev. Lake is having several of these unique vehicles constructed for pleasure purposes at Atlantic City and other New Jersey resorts this summer. They will be run through the shallow water probably half a mile out tosea, and before return- ing to land describe an enormous semi- circle. Charles E. Ball, of New York, another Frofcsslnm\l inventor, is the founder of the Ball Electric Light com- pany. His first invention was a dyna- mo-electric machine and he finally con- structed it after he had gathered %its of information here and there about elec- he did not even know the first pri ples of the science, now he has a nutional reputation as an expert. *‘This is an eraas advertising, and the extent to which it is prosecuted is illustrated by the offer of a Baltimore tobacco firm to a Philadelphian. The latter is well advanced in years,wealthy, and he invented a uniaue clock, with which was combined alamp. . It was de- signed for sick rooms, and to take the place of alarm clocks. The clock can be so nrmnfod that it will strike an alarm as often as desired during the night, and as the gong sounds the light flashes up and illuminates the dial. It as quite an ingenious invention, and the Baltimore firm wishing to present them to their trade offered the Phila- delphian 32 on each clock and guaran- teed to take 12,000 annually. The Philadelphian refused the yearly in- come_of $24,000 which wouid have re- sulted from no exertion on his part.” ‘W hen asked for some stories of poor inventors suddenly encountering wealth Mr. Connolly said: ‘‘One day, while seawd in my Washington office, a poor roung Irishma. entered. He had just anded, had all the appearances of a ‘bag-trotter,’ and did not look asif he knew when to come in out of the cold. He had invented a farm gate. It was an automatic arrangement, designed to open itself, and had no particular brilliant features about it, The young man wanted a patent taken out. We conducted the case successfully for him and he disappeared from the city. Two years later a stylishly dressed young man entered our Washington office. His attire was faultless, a high silk hat rested on his head, and on a finger he sported a diamond ring. Judge of my surprise when he intro- duced himself as the inventor of the ate. He had madea fortune and was ndependent. It appears that after ob- taining his patent he secured financial assistance and went on the road to sell hisinvention. He had traveled all over the United Stotes, and by dint of shrewd management had among other possessions secured much land, aggre- gating 50,000 acres. He was only twent; years of age., That's the last time saw him. I suppose he is president of a national bank somewhere by this time. “Women inventors are quite uncom- mon,” and Mr. Connolly briefly re- ferred to a Philadelphia maiden lad who has invented a valuable idea whic will undoubtedly reap a fortune for her. Its success is 8o certain that the lady before making application for a patent took the hazardous course of exhibiting it to manufacturers in the line inter- ested, and they unhesitatingly pro- nounced it of great value, supplement- g their opinions'with offers of finan- cial assitance. The name of the lady and the nature “of her discovery are withheld for the present. A strong tinge of romance gurrounds her history. She is related to an ex-cabinet officer, and once refused a fortune. She might have broken a will which bequeathed an immense sum of money to & charit- able institution, and the money would have reverted to herself; bnt she re- fused, and went out into the world as a geverness. What is more remarkable, she is determined to apply the proceeds or her patent to charitable work, re- serving just sufficient to sup- ply her own ‘wants, and they are ver simple. She . i# a maiden lady, and such an example of sacrifice is hard to durltcaw anywhere. “The recklessness with which people urchase patents is remarkable,” said Ir. Connolly. ‘*“When they buy real estate,” he said, “‘they do not pay for it until an examination of the title proves it is not defective. Not so with patents, A case of this kind is in my mind now. 1t is that of a Philadelphia tobacco man- ufacturer, who paid 000 for a patent, and then spent 81,000 in counsel fees in tr?'ing\ to ascertain its. exact value, Alter four mopths’ research it was dis- covered that the rulonl was absolutely valugless, thpt the ¢laims were not broad enou% nd the manufacturer was just ouy 20,00, L, Wi ‘Do you kyow what was paid for th return ball?"” was asked, It is one of the oldest and probably the most simple toy. Y‘I bave heard various amounts, stated,” wae the reply. ‘‘They range all the way . from & few. thousand to $1,000,000. Thg latter figure gives you an idea ople enterjain regarding patents and their value. One of the most important fallacies, you know, is that either the Eoglish or American government offers a standing reward for the discovery of perpetunrmouon, which all scientists know to be forever an impouibni'.y Alleged iuventors of ‘perpetual motion® are continually ap- plying for patents, and the patent office at Washington has nctually granted pa- pers to some of them, Now the patent office examiners quickly dispose of these cranks by requiring them to furnish a working model, which, of course, they can not do. Perpetual motion does not claim the attention of all the cranks, however. Take the case of Dr. Michnel Cahill, for instance. He hails from Cal- ifornia, and by releasing certain kinds of balloons he claims to be able to pro- duce a rainfall wherever and whenever desired. The doctor is an educated man, and at first meeting produces a favorable impression.” ‘‘Has he ever secured a patent?” “Certainly not, and all he has ever accomplished at the vatent office is to furnish amusement to the examiners be- fore one of whom, a Hungarian of Jew- ish decent, his claims were once pre- sented. The examiner rejected them, and Cahill went around the capital howling mad, saying that ‘that——Hun- garian Jew had no appreciation of the Irish race, and knew nothing whatever about science.’” i, A western newspaper says that the latest sensation is a St. Louis horse that chews tobacco; but the greatest sensa- tion is Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup, Salvation Oil is the sreatest pain- destroyer of the age. It speedily anni- hilates pain, whether from a cut, bruise, scald, burn, frost-bite, of any other kind. SPECIAL NOTICES. NOTICE.

MANUFACTURERS, Espectally Designed loz MILLS ELEVATORS ELECTRIGLIGHT PURPOSES, The useless and expensive habit of running into debt has KILLED many a good man. Had they adopted the cash system they would be alive to- day and living on the ‘‘fat of the land.’ IN bu{lng goods always buy for cash. You will get the best, more of it, and much cheaper. - Besides this you will save the worry of unpaid bills, which is better than money. In pursuing this plan THE I)}lue to buy your groceries is at Tvoxell ro's., 345 Middle Broadway. There is from 10 to 20 per cent difference between | the cash and credit systems, and this benefit the customer gets. JIf you have never tried this plan, do so now. It will STRIKE your pocket so hard and give _v[m 50 many advantages that you will follow it hereafter. .
