trlcul Possibilities.
From Ihe Chicago lb eoril.
on being asked what part electricity
would uroliubly play in tie' work of
ileuth-deiiliiig devices In casi of war
between Alili-rlcu and a hostile power.
Kdi.-oii has replied that It reiiuireil but
the liii;ielus id' war to develop such a
flood of electrical destructive applian
ces as would astonish Hie world. Kdisou
cluiiiis to have Invented n. inachlu by
means of which a imiull'iil of men can
mow down n lure army. Water, which
ull be made more deadly than bullets,
is to lie hurled it great distance, while
being charged Willi a ."i.iMKi-volt current,
and the opposing hosts ure to be swept
away like chaif. During the recent
British campaign In the t Mil i ia I country
a tt'ire charged Willi curient was drawn
around the camp every night, und
whenever the enemy tried lo steal In
for plunder or other reasons Ihey
touched the wire ami an alarm was In
stantly sounded at various points. It
Is said thai Kdisoii has carried I his
idea somewhat further, and lnvcut-d
cables to be drawn around n besieged
city, which would deal death to any
one who tried to cross them, and mo
concealed that tiny could not be dis
covered until too late lo save Hie intruder:-,
from destruction.
Various other devices for offensive
and defensive purposes huve been sug
gested by the great Inventor. Among
them are electric chains, to be tired Into
un advancing army wlih the effect of
destroying whole columns of soldiers:
an aerial Infernal Viitcblne. which can
be taken to the sunt v. here it Is to be
used and timed to explode at a given
moment lifter it Is cut loose from the
car of a balloon. A few of these ma
chines each containing, say. .'.on pounds
of dynamite, would annihilate a whole
navy. The system of water torpedoes
can he 'improved. An endless cubic,
working around a wheel, may be laid ut
the bottom of a channel at Ihe entrance
of one uf our harbnrs and be kept In
motion with Ihe turpi docs attached.
The cable could he run out the distance
If necessury, when a submarine torpedo,
reclnsed ut the rlirht moment, would
llout to the surface and explode. A
few such cubles, laid nt different points,
would make a harbor a mine uf death.
Such cables as these could he laid down
at once, If necessury.
Another of Kdlmm's war inventions
Is a gun for the llring of dynamite. It
is, in reality, four cannon In one, each
within the other, so that the muzzles
form a series of concentric circles.
These are loaded and llred together.
The compression of the outer three can
nons will enable the center one to resist
Ihe expansion of the dynamite charge.
Another subject of his experiments in
a double cannon thron ing a shell twenty-four
miles. Kdlson Is of the opinion
that the dynamite gun can be quickly
perfected, and ran lie made more power
ful thin any gun in existence.
Till-: MACKMGIIT CASK.
New ' Developments Coining to Light
r.very toy.
The ATacKulght failure Is still the
chief topic of discussion, and It is w hls
liered that Major Hancock or his rep
resentatives here will throw consider
able light on the lluanclal affairs of
Air. Much'nlghl before Tuesday. The
sheriff ordered J. H. MacK night to open
the Bufe at the store, which the latter
refused to do and the sheriff received le
gal advice on the matter, which result
ed in his securing an order from Judge
Woodward to force open the safe. The
sheriff will employ Farnest Roth to
open it and It will probably be done to
day. The sale of the remainder of goods In
the grocery store Friday realized I'.'.riiin,
the prlnciout buyers being Alex. Dick,
l.owenaleln and Levy, alt of Wllkes
Harre. The drug store was knucked down to
M II. AlcAnlff Tor $SUD. It was ru
mored that .'. S. MacKnlifht was be
hind this deal and would endeavor to
run the drug business.
The horses und wagons were sold, but
the buildings will not be disposed of, as
the regular court proceeding will have
to be giiuo through.

ers hi sPirltuallsni were spending un
evening, one of Ihem began to play the
pianoforte uiviimpaiilment of a hymn ;
sung at spiritualistic demonstrations, i
when the room was mysteriously filled
with a voice singing the words. There
were many other manifestations, which
the spiritualist present looked upon
as coiitirmlng the genuineness of their
communication with the soirlt world:
portraits sung in the natural voice of
their originals, who were not In the
room: questions were answered und
sometimes the reply was given by
voice as well as by laps.
The enthusiasm produced by these
phenomena was somewhat damped
when it was pointed out that telephone
receivers, which were plaited Inside Ihe
piano and behind the pictures, were
connected with u loud-speaking trans
mitter in a distant part of the house.
Another transmitter, lixed near the
piano was connected with a receiver at
the ear of a distant "operating spirit,"
who was thereby enabled to keep time
and tune and to near everything said
in the room. The raps were given by
using the armature of an electric bell.
