Murder and Suicide.
Amelia Sirianni, very popular in the
local Italian colony at Portland, was
shot bv Joe Fiort'bcllo as she stood be
hind the counter ol her little cigar and
candy stand, 326 First street, at 7:45
Friday night. She died shortly after 8
o'clock. The murderer fire«! two shots,
one of which took effect in the left cheek,
causing dentil. The murderer then ran up

London Daily Mail sends a remarkable
account of a great scientific discovert.
According to’the correspondent, the
discovery is a method* of direct ly using
atmospheric electricity without chem
icals or dynrmos. and prsciically a|>-
plying it without any motive force.
The discoverer is Clemente Fuegueras,
engineer of woods and forests for the
Canary islands, and for many years
professor of physics at St. Augustin’s
college. Las Palmas, and long known
as a scientific student.
Hitherto he has jealously guarded
the secret of his labors. feaHng that
a premature revelation might rob him
of his reward. Even n«»w. while he
claims, to have entirely succeeded, he
remains silent coneeriAig the exact
principles of his discovery.
He claims, however, to have invented
a generator which can collect the elec
tric fluid, to be able to store it. and
to apply it to an infinite number of
purposes; for instance, in connection
with ships, railways and manufac-
tories. He says he expects the ef
fect of his. discovery will be a tremen
dous economic and industrial revolu
tion He will not give the key to bi>
invention, but declares that the onlv
extraordinary point about it i6 that
it has taken so long to discover a sim
ple scientific fact.
Prof. Figueras Is shortly going to
Madrid and Berlin to patent his in
vention. A German electrical company
is reported to have offered a large sum
for the invention, while a syndicate in
Barcelona has also made a generous
offer. Neither advance has been ac
cepted. This, the correspondent adds,
is all that it is possible to obtain at
present. No opinion can be expressed
as to the value of the discovery until
further details are known..
The London Mail adds that it has
learned from other sources-that Prof.
Fugueras has constructed a rough
apparatus, by which he obtains a cur
rent of 550 volts, which he utilizes in
lighting his house and driving a 20-
horse power motor. He is shortly com
ing to London with a perfected work
ing apparatus. His inventions com
prise a generator, motor, and sort of
governor or regulator. This whole
apparatus is so simple that a child
could work it.

ning, so it is said by John Hall, who
asked Mr. Manning to make an investi
gation ol the charges and return an in
dictment upon them. This Mr. Manning
refused lo do and the case fell to the
ground.
One other phase of the plot is said to
be that Miss Ware was asked to entice
Mr. Heney into places ¿villi her which
would compromise him and thus secure
the object of the conspirators. This Miss I
Ware refused to do, and acquainted the
Government officers with the plot.
The defendants, upon the request of
Mr. Heney, were placed under #1000
bonds each, and bench warrants were
ordered to issue lor each w ith the excep
tion oi Mr. Hall.

MULES PLOW IN ASPHALT.

■ »aw Coantry,
In the Indian territory, where all
sorts of things are done thst were
never heard of elsewhere, they ar«
plowing asphalt, says the Kansas City
Star of recent date. Eighteen miles
southeast of Comanche, in the Chick
asaw country, six strapping Mis
souri mules are hitched to a big breah
big plow every day and' long furrows
of asphalt are♦urned. It is the same
hind of a plow the farmers use win»
break ground in the black jack coun
try. and the asphalt is the kind got by
blasting on the island of Trinidad.
1 he mules are plowing in the center of
a deposit one-third larger than the
asphalt deposits on Trinidad. Wells
have been dug to the depth of 100 feet.
Strata of asphalt of varying thick
nesses have been encountered to what
ever depth the wells have been sunk.
Ihe supply is apparently inexhausti
ble. Men of means have become con
vinced there are millions of dollars to
he made, and are either going to make
it or lose a fortune in their experi
ment.
SKINNING A PEARL.

lie had on gloves of at very delicate
sort of kid, and the glasses that he
wore had lenses of such magnifying
power that his eyes, through them,
looked a« big as saucers. "I wear
gloves.” he said, "because the hands
perspire freely in this work, and per
spiration has often been known to dip
color pearls. This stone was injured
by the accidental dropping on it of
some acid. The disaster discolored it
some, you see. With this very deli
rate little tool I am removing its outei
skin, and if | find lhRt the acid hah
filtered through and discolored the
inner skin also, I may remove that a«
