SUCCESSFULLY TESTED.
Initial Trial of Electricity on Canal Boati
Entirely Satisfactory.
Electrical propulsion of commercial bnah
on canuls is a demonstrated success. Muli
and steam power are doomed. The new powe.
was tested at Brighton, four miles distan
Jro-n Rochester, N. V., on the Erie Canal.
The old steamship Frank Hawley, fittec
with an electrical motor by the Westing
house company, taking power from the
trolley wire overhead, started off without
bitch or hindrance when Mr. Hawley, tht
promoter, of the scheme, pulled the lever.
The electric current was tsken from tht
treet railway, about 600 volts power
Tbe trolley poles are similar to those on tht
electric railway cars, but with a lateral
binge, allowing for a deflection of the boat
six feet either way. They are only tempo
rarity used. Later it i intended to use a
trolley running over the top of the wirt
with a wire drop from the trolley to the boat
and thence connecting with the motor. Tht
boat sped faster than the law allows, six
miles an hour, without hitch or break. Ev
ery difficulty encountered in canal naviga
tion was successfully overcome.

To Prevent the Lynching of a BruteWhc
Assaulted and Murdered a Young
Women.
Miss Tlirdle linngh, aged 20 years, Iht
only daughter of C C. Kaugh, a wealthy
farmer of near Alliance, O.. was assaulted
ind murdered by Curt Davidson a farm
band, who then attempted suicide by cut
ting hit tbroat with a razor, I'angh and
his wife were away from borne. Davidson
soarded with the family. No one wltness
td the crime, but Irom the apiearance of
Ihe kitchen It seems that Miss Itangh bad
waited until her two brother and David
inn had gone to bed and then covered the
Hreandwas ta-lug off her thoee when
Davidson returned and ttruck her on the
bead with a piece of Iron The fellow then
ricked her uu and carried her to tbe barn,
110 yards, where after assaulting her be cut
brr throat from ear to ear.
The crime waa not discovered until morn
ing, when Miss Haugh'a brother found her
mutilated remains, nearly stripped of cloth
ing, lying on the barn floor. About tht
mine hour a farmer living half a mile from
the Kaugh home discovered Davidson lying
on a pile of straw in his barn yard with his
throut cut. He Is about 40 years old, un
married and has worsed for Itaugh for
several years. The phvslclant tay David
son may recover, hut if he doet 'he will
prohutuy be Ivnched as the town it In a
frenzy of excitement.
The threatening assembly of men nt ap-
fiarently designated points In the city dur
ng the evening convincedthelocal authori
ties that .MurdererDavidson was in imminent
inuger ot rope or bullet. The Mayor wired
-heril K rider to come at once Irom Canton
The sheriff arrived shortly after 1(1 o'clock.
The guard on Davidson was re-enforced, but
In lesa than an hour the situation became
in threatening that Comnany K ol the
Eight Keglment of Ohio's 'National Uuard
was ordered out.
As midnight approached the situation be
:aine to threatening that the city snllior
itles beld a conference with the sheriff and
ather county ofttcers. It was llnallv decid
ed to send bim tothe county Jail at New
Llbson. Orders were given secretly and at
midnight a city ambulance was brought up
to tbe rear entrance of the bouse where the
murderer was under guard. Davidson waa
quickly transferred to the ambulance, but
before the start was made 300 men appear
ed at the starting point. Kn route to the
Italian the mob was reinforced by -IK) ex
cited citizens, and there was an nnbroken
llorra of groans and maledictions from lbs
riursiirers. Tbe ambulance had been
urneil and reached the station tjnst as the
train pulled in. There was a rush for the
helpless figure when It was dragged out, but
the guard closed around it and the militia
kept the mob at bay. Tbe instant David
son was dumped into the car tbe train
pulled on".
Tbe sheriff acted none too soon In taking
the murderer out of the city. Eighty resolute
men had pledged each other to take the
wretch from the Khaw house and. hang him
between 1 and 2 o'clock. Tbe details had
been arrangrd and the rote roenred. The
sianal waa to be the shutting off of tbe ar:
lights in the streets at 1J..10. i wenty of the
men were in a hall mid were preparing
disguises that were to render identification
less easy in case of resistance by the oltlcers,
when one of the men doing picket duty at
the house where Davidson was held report
ed the intent on of the sheriff to spirit tbe
prisoner away. Hixteen of the twenty men

The Dairy.
Butter statistics are surprising;.
The census returned show the eoor. M
nous ctresrste of 600,000 tons, or
t,Z0O,0M00 pounds, manufactured
in tbe United States In 180; and the
lusotlty bat probably increased
ilnce. How much of all this was
tleoniarffarlne, ao'.d under the name
it butter, It Is now getting a little,
late In tbe day to Inquire. But tbe
the returns are professedly all of gen
uine butter, and this may be tbe fact.
It Is said that the 1800 product In
this country would require 1,000
freight trains of 30 cars each, and
eaob carrying SOtons, to transport it.
Iowa seems to be the largest butter
producer her return, three year
ago, being a hundred million pounds
(100,000,009), worth 821,000.000. Illi
nois stood next, wltb 95,000,000
vorth 820.000,000. Wisconsin's pro
duct was 45,000,000 pounds, worth
89,000,000, and Minnesota's nearly att
great hers being worth 88,000,000,
while Bllt blgan's waa worth 87,600,
000. In 1885 the RS-teiaed value of
cows was 8700,000,000 or more than
the capital of all the national banks,
at that time. Inciodible as It may
seem, It appears that the annual ,
dairy butter product of the United
States eicecds In value that of all of
the lumber, wheat and Iron com
bined. That, at any rute, is tho
statement of a statistician who pub
lishes the results of his Bgurlng.
Other dairy statistics, milk, cream,
and cheese, also make a bin sliowimx.
Curious Occupations of Hindoos.
Census blank recently distributed )
by tbe Engltih Government In India
for the purpose of ascertaining the
size of the population have Just been
returned to the home olllce, and "
among them aro at curlooa docu
ments as were ever collected In a sim
ilar undertaking. Under the hoatl of
"profession, occupation, etc.," a num
ber of Hindoos admit candidly they
are "professional dobtors,"' "constant
borrowers," or ' men of secret re
sources," Others have put them
selves on record as thieves, village
thieves, and brigands. Pome of more
modest aspirations call themselves ;
tavern keepers, visitors of taverns,
traveling story tellers, mendicant?,
pensions on their sons-in-law, or sim
ilar Idlers. One Hindoo says that
"he cannot work because be Is u
fool" Others confess to a more seri
ous occupation, such as "expounder
of oracles, " "eye examiner," 'norce
rer," "storm prophet' "tamtam
player," "doctor of Greek medicine."
Another says that he conduct a mar
riare bureau for young domestics; a
second declares that "be I making a'
business of marrylns oft his daugh
ters for money," which latter Is un
doubtedly a very lucratlvo field. One
profession which seems to be very re
munerative is that of "hiring out u
a professional court witness," and It
followed by several nindoos Sk
