Underground electric wires are now being successfully operated in Kansas City. The Edison electric light com- pany has two and _one-fourth miles of underground conductors in the block bounded by Sixth, Delaware, Seventh and Wyandotte streets. They have been put underground at a cost of about $18,000. The conductor is about two and a quarter inches in diameter. It is in the form of a pipe filled with an in- sulating composition through which six wires are run, The wires are in two sets of three h, the wires of one set being about one-half inch in diameter, the wires of the other set being about one-eighth of an inch in diameter. Two wires in cach set carry the eleetric cur- rent, the third wire” carrying off the excess of the current. The large wires convey the strong. currents, especially those used for motors, while the small wires carry the current for the incan- descent lights, The Debt of Science to Plante. Those who had learned to admire Plante for the high character of his work and the gentleness of his spirif cannot but experience a sentiment ot Gelight and reverence in contemplat- ing the noble method in which he has disposed of his property, says the Elec- trical World. With the fund he has given to endow a prize for original work in electrical research, a new im- petus will be felt by the branch of science which he himself so greatly en- riched by far-reaching investigations. To this fund, moreover, he added the establishment of aretreat for scientists, bequeathing his own home for that pur- pose. Such actions will but enhance his worthy fame. - — . Telephone Amalgamation in England The long-talked of amalgamation of the three leading telephone companies, writes our London correspondent, is now a “‘fait accompli,” says the Elect- ral World. Our readers will, no doubt, recollect that the scheme originally proposed was vetoed by the postmaster general, who refused to sanction the transfer of the 'present companies’ license to a new concern to be called the Telephone Union. The amalga- mation of the three cmn}):mics is now affected by the purchase of two of them by the third, the latter company giv- ing its sharcs as the purchase price. This arrangement, which will take effect as from May 1,1s the outcome of lengthy and delicate negotiations, and it is to be hoped that its ostensible ob- ject, namely, the extension and im- provement of interuban telephony, will now be achieved, The purchasing company is the National telephone com- puny, whose license covers the whole of the United Kingdom, and the two companies absorbed are the United and the Lancashire and Chesire. The area worked by these three companies in- cludes the whole of tland and all Edgland north of the mes, with one small exception, and comprises the chief industrial and seaport towns in the kingdom. The companies not afiected by this arrangement are the Western Counties and South Wales, the south of England, the Northern District and the Telephone Comguny of Ireland, whose districts, although equal in extent to those worked by ‘the amalgamated companies, are of com- paratively secondary importance . — L Sparks. An English electrician has invented a material he calls “alterion,” for the prevention of corrosion in boilers. The nterior of the boiler is coated with the material, and from time to time elec- trical currents are sent through it. Great Britain counts on soon having the largest dynamo in the world. Ttis being made for the new electric light works at Deptford, The shaft of the machine will be turned outof a block of steel weighing seveuty-five tons, which has been cast at Glasgow. “T'he Unfon Electric Car company is pushing the work on Beverly’s new storage battery railway as fast as the weather will permit, The car house is completed and track laying is going on at a rapid rate. The electric cars are nearly completed and will be ready to gointo immediate commission as s0on as the rails are ready for them. Electric railways are of such recent origin that comparatively a small por- tion of the people of the United States have ever seen one in operation, und yet it is surprising to learn that fifty- hine electrical street railways having an aggregate mileage of 300 miles and operating 440 motor cars, were in exist- ence in America last month, while the number is still rapidly increasing, suys the Railway Age. A 've i number of “such roads are in operation 1f the construction cal roads goes on as rapidly in the future as it has in the past few years electricity will soon have received a wonderful demonstration of its possibil- ities in connection with the locomotive. The Electric Date and Time Stamp company makes a combined stamping and dating machine, which attached to a olock works by a battery current, and gives everything Yu“n.m that could be asked on paper, when you hit a sheet with it. = It does everything except answering letters and paying sight drafts.

HELD IN THE GRIP OF DEATH. A Vigilante Caught by the Manacled Hands of His Drowning Vie- tims and Drageged to a Watery Grave. The Revenge of Dying Men, The other day in San Francisco a re- porter called on the Rev. Gassman, and remarking that as his former interview had furnished very pleasant reading for the subscribers of the Examiner, would he be kind enough to give the reporter some more of his recollections of [routier life in Nebraska, The following narration, which was fully vouched for by Rev. Gassman, was written from facts furnished bo him: In 1854, in Brownville, Nebraska, a man named George Tract, who was a commission merchant on & small scale, mysteriously disappeared. There was no clue whatever as to his fate, and the idea was general that he was in some way disposed of at the same time that three horse thieves were put out of the way byavigilance committee. His wife stated that he had gone out thatevening, about 7o’clock, snying that he might not return until late, This was the last ever seen of him. Another queer circumstance was the fact that the three horsethieves who were taken from the jail the same night that ‘I'ract dia:\lmonrvd were never heard of again. [t was an old custom in Nebraska to string s people up to a tree, with a placard attached to their persons, but on this occasion ail trace of them WAS WIPED OUT. The sheriff said that a gang of masked men had taken them from the jail, and that was the last of his knowledge of them, It was not customary for a sherift 1o follow iynching parties” in Nebraska in those lawless The disappearance of Tract was a source of wonderment for years, but the secret of his death appeared to have perished with him Residents of Brownville, Neb., will, on reading this article, realize for the first time what became of Tract, and several parties who were with him on that fatal night and saw him die will recognize the truth of this narration. Lest some of them might feel troubled at the revelutions made here, they can feel assured thav while the facts are given truthfully, the names of the par- ties who know all about Tract’s death are in the possession now of no living person. The truth of the story is as follows: On the night of December 2, 1854, three horse thieves were taken from the rude log juil at Brownville, Neb., and put to death under pecuiiar cir- cumstances. They were thrust through a hole in the ice by a party of masked men, most of whom are yet ali One of the men who wasdrowned was a mur- derer, and the other two were horse- thieves and regular desperadoes. A parishioner of the Rev Lawrence Gass- man made the following statement on his deathbed: I heiped to drown them, and it was such an awful thing that it has MAUNTED ME EVER SINCE. We took them handculfed from the jail at Brownville, and about 2 o’clock in the morning led them to the river. It was winter and the ice wasa foot thick and full of air-holes. “The poor fellows never suspected the awful fate in store for them until we reached a place in the middle of the river, where there was an air-hole about ten feet across. “We set the lanterns down alongside the hole and then, for the first time, they realized what they were there for. “We told them to kueel by the brink and pray, if they wanted to. Oue knelt but the other two began to struggle, but it was no use; they were bound and Landcuffed, and we dragged them to the edge where the other wes kneeling. He clasped his manacled hands at the edge of the ice and then, lifting them above his head, asked tlle curse of heaven on us all. “Around him stood a determined group and below the dark, rushing water, where the swift, swishing cur- rent of the river sped beneath us. *Some of the crowd began to wenken, but the majority were determined, and as the poor fellow was calling down the curse upon us, some one hit him_slong- side the head with the butt of a re- volver, and he fell on his side stunned. “They were pushed into the water, but the held onto the edge of the ice with their manacled hands, cursing and blaspheming horribly. “*One man stamped on those hands with the heel of his boot, until he mashed the fingers to pieces, and while heiwas doing 1t the other man, still 1n the water, suddenly caught his foot, and before anyone knew what was being done his other foot slipped and he was , in the hole. “Both mon let go the ice then and grabbed him. A dozen hands were stretched over the hole to rescue the poor fellow, but the others held him with their teeth and manacled hands, Before this they wore trying to keep their bodics as far out of the water ag possible to keep from the rosistless car« rent, but the instant they got their vies tim they sank as far as they could. ‘It was a terriblo scone, ~ We boat on their faces with our revolvers to make them let go, but they HAD THE DEATH GRIP, and the current, which was running like a mill race, sucked the three strugs gling men under and we had to let goto save ourselves. “Two or three hands that held the man we were trying to rescue let go and the additional strain was too much for the rest and thoy had to loossen their grip nlso, and the three disap peared together. The name of the man we tried to ros- cue was George Tract. No one cared to investigate the antecendants of the men taken from the jail, but the disappear- ance of the other man was the town talk for a long time. ‘It was a terriblo mystery and those who knew never breuthed a word. “Iam dying and want to tell some one before I go that the mystery sur- rounding the disuppearance of Goorge Tract may bo cleared up. He had no friends outside of hisrelatives to mourn his loss and was so brutal in‘stamping on those poor fellows’ hands that it seemed like justice to. have him die with the othe rs,” Bovos (Pera Housel Three Nights, Monday, Tucsday, Wed- nesday August 20, 27, 28.
