They were begun and continued by this i ipaper alone amid the dissenting silence of the ie | ether journals that are now most loudly clamorous in he fight. The burden of proof was all assumed by The World. How well it was discharged the good mds accomplished by its investigation sufficiently ‘The public is now well informed as to the inferior of gas sold to patrons, the overcharge ap- extortion, the refusal of recourse as against Statements of the company’s employees. It haa ‘witnessed the resulting inauguration of an intelligent and _ @nergetic effort on the vart of municipat officials to end #hé monopoly so far as it concerns the city. And now ‘$ is presented with the edifying spectacle of the trust ~~ ta an attitude of apology and excuse brought about by féar of the consequences if municipal ownership is en- tered into. Out of this paper's initiative ‘s developing @ revolt of unprecedented proportions against a monop- ‘oly that has long held the city helpless, a Bit TWO MURDER TRIALS. T Rochester Leland Dorr Kent {s on trial for the @eath of Ethel Dingle. Kent {s a young medical stu- dent of good family. Miss Dingle was a nurse with ‘whom he had been intimate, and Kent's alleged offense {6 complicity in her suicide. i. New York the trial of Rosie Quinn for the mur- ‘Ger of her little baby has just ended. Why. these trials are interesting in connection with @@ch other is this: In Kent's case every court-room Brtifice is made use of to soften the heart of the im- Ipressionable juror and affect the verdict, The prisoner's young child is brought dally into the court-room, his “presence appealing to the sympathies of Court and coun- eel alike. When led from the room he called out in his ehildish treble: “Come_on, papa; come with us.” - But with Rosie Quinn there were no such expedients, ‘was deserted by her friends and missionaries took interest In her. “There {s no waste of time | tm ‘the trial,” sald the news report. The eyes of the | *gurors were kept averted from her, She became an ob- fect of despair. ~~ Rosie Quinn will be sentenced for life, very prop- /@rly no doubt. It will be instructive to compare her \ gentence with Kent's. And it Je to be wondered whether the jurors would Rave been Permitted to “avert their eyes” from Rosie ) Quinn's sad face if the late William Howe had been her eounsel.

He Is William Peasely, Better Known as “ Bill,” and Has Been Noted for Other Inventions, (From Our Gpecial Corresponfent.) 5 BOZHMAN, Mont, April 6.—I have just returned from Pinkstring, t, where I met Wilkam Peasely, better known here “Rill.” Mr. Peasely is the discoverer of the famous corned-becf mine in the Yellowstone Park. According to Me. Peasely he was prospecting in the Hogback Hills, in the Yellowstone, on April 1, last, and struck an outoropplng of some pecullar mineral of a handsome dark-red color that seemed strangely elastic, being of a leather-like nature, At first Mr. Peasoly thought he had struck a lode oF mineral rubber. He had a lode of some kind, he knew, . He tasted a chip of It, and to Ais surprise discovered Ihe had struck a natural mino of corned beef. Tho news of ‘his discovery caused great excitement. Local scientists gtve the following explanation of Peasely's strange find: “Enormous droves of cattle have, during the Triocen@ period, been cauguit by a revolution of the carth and burted by the thrown-down masses. The extensive saline deposits in tho district preserved and seasoned the meat; the cold of the ice period kept it for millenfums, and under the fluence of the {mmense pressure of the masses of earth and stones it has been transformed into a kind .of salt meat, which, as to taste and nutritiousness, is not inferior te corned beef.’ The deposits have a known extension of many square miles, agd would be able to furnish meat food to the world for a long time." Meanwhile local restaurateurs are staking off clatms ea the find, The rumors that Mr. Peasely salted bis cornetd beef mine are warmly denied by that gentleman. He making preparations to grubstake prospectors for gold silver from ‘his edible meat-mineral strata, Mr, Peasely is a remarkable character, and an inventor off some note. In my next despatch I shall give an account of his remarkable arboreal system of irrigatton, which, at slighg cost, he turned the arld Bolldeding Badlands, near Bos! into 10,000 acres of erable land. ps A ROY & MCARDELI, } ‘The Evening World's Special Commtsstoner to the ‘Wes!
