By Means of Aluminum and Hydrogen an Inventor Expects to Bail the Heaveni. Dr. Jacob D. Grnyblll of New Orleans, has Just received his letters patent on an air ship conceived on novel lines. Dr. Grnyblll Is on Ohtoan, has been here five years and has been working on the subject of norlol navigation problems for twenty year. He claims to have solved the dltliculty and hMS assigned three-tenths of his light to V. MT. Battle of his city. A. company will be formed and the machines built. The Inventor's claim is based on ob servation of flights of birds. He claims that birds row their way through the, air and has built bis machine on that principle. The machine Is cigarette shaped and Is said to be built of alum inum. Hydrogen gas Is the lifting power and the machine will be con trolled In ascents and descents by the Use of air ballast. The Inventor claims priority to the Idea for controlling ma chines In the air. The wings of the big blnjjllke machine are V-shaped, non-collapsible, with a wide spread, the base of the V being pointed forward to overcome friction. The wings can be worked singly or si multaneously and at different angles and can be changed from one position to another by the Instantaneous move trent of a lever.

Hosklna and 20 others, all members of Coopers' T'nlon No. 18, nf Kansas City, and the Trades Assembly of the same place. In January, 18!W the stave company placed In their plant a machine to hoop barrels. The defendants, after request ing tho stave company to withdraw their machines, and having their re quest refused, caused a boycott. Judge Sanborn end Thayer, In giving their decision, said the defendants had no right to form a conspiracy to the deprlval of the plaintiff of Its own lights to manage Its own business. If such a thing was lawful, then a com bination may be organised for the pur pose of preventing the use of type writing machines, presses, harvesters, threshers and thousands of other ma chines. Judge Caldwell dissents from his associates In a lengthy opinion, in which he says: "The only weapon nf defense the la borer can appeal to Is the strike or the boycott, or both. These Weapons they have an undoubted right to use, so long as they use them In a peaceable and or derly manner. This Is the only lawful limitation upon their use. That limita tion Is fundamental and must be ob served. It was observed In the case at bar to Its full extent. If these weapons are withheld from them, then, Indeed, aro they left naked to their enemies. POWERFUL NAVY NEEDED. Roosevelt Claims It ie Necessary in Order to Maintain the Monroe Dootrine.

"Unless we are willing to be put In the contemptible attitude of those who bluster without being able to1 back up their words by deeds, we must prove that our attitude about the Monroe doc trine Is not a sham. "To prove this means that wc must have a powerful navy. If wo annex Hawaii, we shall need an adequate navy to enforce our position on the Pacific. If we do not annex Hawaii, we shall need a much larger navy; as Hawaii cannot stand alone, some other pewer must necessarily take It, ami at that moment menace our whole .Pacific coast.

The Murder of Blx Persons Avenged by $ Despsrate Mob- Three Indians awaiting trial at Wll Itamsport, N. !., for the murder of six members of the Bplcer family some months ago were lynched by an angry mob last Saturday. The victims of the mob's fury are Alexander Coudot, a half breed, and Philip Ireland and Paul Holytrack full-blooded redskins. About 2 o'clock In the morning there was a rap nt the outer door of the Jail, nnd Deputy Bherrlfi Kelley nrone quickly and turned the key In the lock. No sooner had he opened the door than tho mob crowded Into the corridors. All of them were masked, and the leaders carried ropes. The leaders presented a revolver at the head of the deputy sheriff and told him they wanted his prisoners. Kellefr demurred, but saw that resistance was useless, and unlocked the cells. Two of the prisoners were confined together and the third In a separate cell. They had been aroused from sleep by the entrance of the men, and sat up half awake and trembling with terror. Ropes were fastened about the necks of all three, and they were dragged out on tho ground, after being told to pre pare for death. They were then carried to a huge beef windlass, which had been erected to suspend the carcasses of slaughter ed beeves, and strung up on a crews beam. Coudot was the first to be hanged. He was asked whether "Black Hawk" ami "Defender" as the other two were call ed had also been concerned In the mur der for which he was about to be hting cd. Ho answered that they had been. The rope which had been fastened about his neck was then thrown over the cross beam, and ho was raised off tho ground and suspended In the air. Holytrack and Ireland were so nearly unconscious from the effects of the dragging that they did not realize what was about to happen when the ropes about their necks were tossed over the snme beam. They were unable to stand and were slowly rnls"d from the ground on which they lay until their bodies swung In the air and dangled from the windlass with that of Coudot. CRUSHED BY A SNAKE. Anaconda Kills a Pony and Breaks a Keeper's Ribs. A huge anaconda, on exhibition In a museum at Philadelphia severely In jured Samuel Masher, the museum watchman, and crushed to death a val uable trick pony a fow days ago. The pony was tied to a feed box alongside the anaconda's cage. Masher saw that the reptile had worked one of the hoards of Its cage loose, rn had stretched Its tall out a short distance. Ho pushed the board to, believing the anaconda would pull within tho cage agnln. Instead, It wriggled out and Itself several times about Washer. The latter screamed for help, and the pony, frightened by the big reptile, began Jumping about. This probably saved Mnsher's life, for the reptile wound It self around him and completely en circled the pony. Mfisher fell to the floor unconscious; while the big snake continued to crush the pony until life was extinct. When a number of the employes reached the scene the snake had begun to unwind Itself and appeared to be getting ready for more fight. The men kept aloof until a lasso had been ob tained and the anaconda finally made secure. Several of Masher's ribs were broken, and lie vas removed to a hos pital. A PAYINO NEWSPAPER. Charles A. Dana Said to Have Accumulated a Million from the Sun. From a study of the will of Charles A. Dana, the veteran editor left an un encumbered estnte of more than II, 000,000.

Senor Canalejas, In speaking of con ditions In Spain said: "The feeling there Is one of expectancy, but there Is little or no feeling that a serious crisis will present Itself between the United States and Spain, and there Is no thought In well-informed circles that extreme measures or a resort to war will result. On the contrary the action of the Spanish government has given every hope of a continuance of the most friendly relations with the United States, and of a satisfactory conclusion of the Cuban conflict. "A complete change of policy haa re sulted from the accession of the Lib eral ministry, and the aggressive pol icy executed by General Weyler la now succeeded by the more conciliatory methods of that peaceful soldier Gen eral Blanco. The autonomy which Spnln now offers to Cuba Is of the gen uine character, and is tendered In the sincere t good faith. "In all Internal affairs, the autonomy now offered will give the Cuban people entire freedom In shaping their own af fairs. The Spanish people are desirous that our friends In the United.

Business Oreatly Improved by the Approves) of Cold Weather. n. O. Dun A Co's. weekly review foi last week reports: Colder nnd more stormy weather, so long needed to accelerate distribution of winter goods, haa materially helped In nearly every northern dispatch this week, so that orders to fill stocks have been encouraging, nnd In some branch es the multitude of demands for Imme diate delivery show that the distribu tion to consumers hns already gone much beyond the expectations of deal ers. But this Is not yet the general rule, and, with many complaints of de Inyed trade from other quarters, there ' still remains extensive shrinkage caus ed by fever and quarantine at the South. It Is, therefore, the more surprising that the volume of all payments through clearing houses continues about as large as In 1892, and 16 7 per cent, larger than last year. Railroad earnings also nearly equal those of 1891 for the first week of November, and half the mileage In October of $50,354,- . 4H6, Is 8.0 per cent, larger than laat year, and 2.2 per cent, larger than 1892. Speculative markets feel disappoint ment because prices do not rise farther and faster, but It Is fortunate for pro ducers and dealers that the experience of some past years In that respect haa not been repeated.
