Yeadon, a picturesque spot near Lansdowne, in Delaware county, was the scene of a tragedy yesterday morn- ing, when a desperate negro was shot and killed by an officer, after he had in- tlictedseverewoundsuponhiscaptorand made repeated efforts to stab him in a fatal spot. The dead man is Henry Saxton, who was known throughout that portion of ' the country, which at times he termiz- ed; as "Hank Saxton, the terror of Del. aware county." His slayer is Constable Benjamin R. Day, of Yeadon, a Coura- geous officer, who bravely fought his burly antagonist, and only shot to kill b;„.. when it was absolutely necessary to save his own life. He is lying at his home suffering from the effects of four separate wounds—one in the neck, sus- tained during his desperate struggle, but none of which is dangerous, and in some days he will be able to be about again. For two years Saxton has been re- garded as more or less of a terror to all persons who happened to incur his dis- pleasure, a phase of bell character which earned- for him tire title above mentioned. His dirk knife, and razor were constant companions, and a re- volver often constituted additional strength to his department of self-de- fense. He recently added a keen edged hatchet to his list of weapons, and used it with telling effect during a row at a picnic, near Lansdowne, wounding several men who attempted to put 'him off the grounds. For his part in this row a warrant was issued for his arrest and placed in Constable Day's hands. It is said that when Saxton heard the plucky consta- ble was looking for him he saicl he wouliLhunt for Day himself and give him' We opportunity to arrest hire if he • could. Day heard that the negro was in the village, and, pocketing his revol- ver, started down the road to find him. .He did not go far before he rnet Sax- ton, just in front of the gates of Holy Cross cemetery, and within easy sight of his own home. It is said that Saxton had sworn to kill D.ty if the latter at tempted to arrest him, and, whether that is true or not, it is certain he was approaching Day's house artned fur a fight when Day discovered him not far away. "I have a warrant for you," said Day in a business -like manner, jumping from his wagon and approaching the negro. Saxton's only reply was an oath, a quick motion for his pocket and a spring toward the constable, who was unprepared for such a sudden attack. : Saxton's knife gleamed in the sunlight, and as Day dodged the swift lunge, the • .end of the blade cut througn his coat • collar and left a long sweeping wound in the neck. Day jumped hack again and drawing his pistol,.said: . ',Drop that knife or I'll kill you 1" "An oath, another lunge with the , keen -edged weapon was his answer. This time the blade went through his ,coat, inflicting a slight body wdnnd, and almost at the same instant Day's revolver cracked and Sax - ton's jaw fell. The bullet had ploughed the lower portion of it away, and the blood gushed from the wound which made the negro des- perate. He was like a maddened beast, and, with a terrible threat, again sprang at the officer. Day kept loin at bay with the revolver for a few mom- ents, while the few spectators—Day's wife among them—who were powerless to end the conflict, kept shouting to the officer to shoot the man. Then Saxton sprang forward again, closed with Day,and tiliey struggled all lik over t e road for several moments, ea& , ing to gain an advantage. Fina ly Saxton, maddened by pain, and swinging his knife as best he could, cutting the officer with each Motion, obtained an upper hold and plunged his knife into Day's back, making a gaping wound two inches deep and five inches long. As his arm raised to strike again, Day got his re- volver free and fired, making a had woand in the negro's arni, from which the blood flowed freely. • Then the men separated again, and • as Saxton sprang tor the constable a third time Day fired, and this time the ' ! bullet did its work. The desperate fighter fell mortally wounded and ' died on the grass in a pool of his own blood. Day was overcome and lay helpless n the sward beside the negro.

Whet the Men et Genius Are Baying and Doing, We aro told by Prof. Oliver Lodge, the celebrated physicist, that at the absolute zero of tetnperature-878 deg. C., or 459 deg. F.— the mole-culee of a perfect gas would lie go inert that they could be ewept together iu piles on the floor. In a recent Loudon lawsuit regarding noise and vibration caused by a factory the phonograph was brought iu as a wit- ness, at the' suggestion of Prof. Silvanus P. Thompson, being caused to record the noises and reproduce thein in court. The Italian consul at Bordeaux has telephonic connection with the opera house at Bordeaux as well as with that in Paris, and he says he heard the music from Paris, 675 miles, as distinctly as that which comes to him from a distance of only a few blocks. Air eau be frozen at a temperature of 290 degrees below zero, and the product, which eau be handled and felt, burns, so to speak, with its excessive cold. Frozen air can be produced in any quantity, but its cost, $500 a gallon, is likely to pre- vent a large business. The tunnels of the world are estimated to number about 1142, with a total lenth of 514 miles. There are about 1000 railroad tunnels 12 subaqueous tun- nels, 90 canal tunnels and 40 conduit tun. nels, with aggregate lengths of about 350 miles, 60 miles, 70 miles and 85 respectively. Electricity is employed largely for pull- ing teeth. To the battery are attached three wires": Two of them have handles at the end, while the third is attached to ;the forceps. The patient grasps the handles, the electricity is turued on sud- denly and the dentist simultaneously ap- plies his forceps to the tooth. The in- stant the tooth is touched, as well as the surrounding parts, becomes insensible to pain. A jerk, and it is out. Electricity has won many triumphs over its once formidable rival, steam, during the past decade, and that, too, ia de- partments in which the position of the /atter was deemed unassailable. As a source of Intense light, and as a motor force vehicles, as well as for machinery of all kinds, it is in extensive nee and In steadily growing demand; and now .at- tempts are made to utilize electricity for heating purposes. An interesting and important experi- ment was lately conducted by Dr. Pa- lermo at Naples. In the course of scien- tific studies Dr. Palermo has given spe- cial attention to the relative action of ounshiue and darkness on microbes. He claims that his researches have proven that in addition to checking the multi- plication of micro-organisms, sunlight is especially baneful to those which are noxious to human or animal life. In the experiment mentioned Dr. Palermo ex- posed the bacilli of Asiatic cholera to the sunlight for four hours, and finding thorn still alive, he administered them to a guinea pig. Taking at the same time other germs of a similar nature which had been kept in a dark room for anequal time, he administered them to another guinea pig. In about eight hours the latter animal died of Asiatic cholera, while the former charged with the sun - cured bacilli remained perfectly well. Subsequently the doctor inoculated the, animal with the most virulent cholera microbes, but they had no effect upon it; exposure to the sun's rays had, besides destroying the disease producing powers of the microbes, made them active and effective agents in resisting their still virulent brethren. An Ensilage Fodder Reek. Although the growth of a good crop of grain as well as fodder and allowing it to ripen for ensilage gives us much better ensilage than the old plan of growing fodder only and cutting and canning it green,„it does not, in the least, aid us in the solution of the problem of transport - HARVESTING ENSILAGE MADE EASY. ink; our ensilage material from the field to the cutter. The long stalks with large, heavy ears, are very difficult to handle. Many devices have been gotten up to aid in handling this fodder, and one of the best which wo have seen is a low-down wagon described in The Ohio Farmer by E. P. Stump of the Ohio State University Farm, as follows: The plan is to fit an ordinary farm wagon with a rack, low enough to allow one man alone to load, conveni- ently, a fair load. It requires for ma- terial two pieces of pine 5x6 in. x16 ft., one piece of oak 5x6 x12 in., four pieces of pine 5x6x15 in.

Electricity is the. thing for cooking. It sounds queer to talk of a luncheon cook- ed without fire, but that is what I par- took of, and a more deliciously cooked repast it would be hard to fiud in any household or restaurant. -6 Promptly at 11 o'clock a party of 15 -were gathered in 0 roomy kitchen watch- ing a white -capped chef as he rapidly prepared the food for our ltincheon. There wars no suspielon of a fire, nor did he seem to consider one a necessity, and if he had there was no place to build one. THERE 1N NO HEAT. Quickly the preparation wont on. Then int a'neinute, presto 1 a square plug at- tached to a wire was run into a hole in the wall and iu a minute or two thepot was sending forth odors of soup that were tantalizing to our olfactories. But whence had gone the heat ? While the day was terribly hot, one could hard- ly believe it was warm enough to boil beef stock, nor was it within the province of the chef to call to his aid magic pOwer so we hot on that little plug so snugly fitting in its socket as the ca303e of all this mystery. True enough, the plug was responsible. That simple act of inserting a pin in a socket had made an electrical connection with a live wire and the subtle fluid that speeds along the wires from huge dyna- mos had done the rest. That was all there was to it. It was gooking by electricity with heat of an N 'electrical lunch,' that is what it was called on the invita- tion I received to join some frieodS of mine down town one • day last week for the noontide meal, The impossibility of satisfying. a thor- oughly work -a -day r‘. appetite on Watts, 'Mr Nt1/4.VA-3`,) ELECTRICAL KITCHEN. intensity unknown to a range fire, but so easily controlled that a child might attend to the process as well as a grown person. Rapidly the dishes followed each other in order of preparation and it was more than interesting to know how easily all was accomplished. No raking of fires, no soiling of hands with coal dust or ashes, no hot stove lids to lift and burn the fingers. It was all so simple that 15 people stood abotr4.with open mouths and staring eyes, taking in with eager attention all the details of the process. " PRESS THE BUTTON" COOKERY. The men, of course, went into a (Beene - Dion marked by more or less knowledge of electricity, but the women took the ground of utility—that was where a sympathetic appeal was made to us. We who have albored with refractory stoves, who have had chimneys refuse to "draw" and grates that would clog up --we ap- preciated the full value of "pressing the button" and letting; Mr. or Mrs. Elec- tricity do the rest. Just fancy how nice it would be to have a stove with six, eight, ten or RA many lids aa you want, each one heated to any degree that might be desired. No more moving of every' pot or panon the stove in order to set back ono, kettle that re- quires only simmering, while a hot fire is necessary to get the Sunday roast done "to a turn." It was luxury to watch that cook. The soup was nearly ready, it only needed a few moments before serving, so the little key that regulates heat is turned ; but the rice must boil faster, so on is turned the switch and it boils just as fast ae you wish. The oven is a little slow, but that is molly remedied—another turn of the key and away the temperature soars as high tied as hot as you may, think necessary. The plates are on the warmer, but aro cold and now is the proper time to heat them. Stick in another plug and though you see nothing, it is a certainty that they will bo ready when required for use. THIS WAS THE MENU. Then we eat down and began to discuss the following menu: 5035 Reef, with vegetables. It058T. j.,amb, with green peas, lashed potatoes, boiled *le Stewed tomatoes. Apple pudding. Coffee. This was not a special luncheon'it was simply the regular meal prepared ia the electrical kitchen for thoo Dicers and employes of a company, and with them ceased, to bo a novelty. They claim that moats cooked by electricity are far bet- ter than those baked in a coal stove. When we had finished we were invited to an inspection of the apparatus. There was a lingering avoidance of touching any part of the paraphernalia until one bold and brave man decided to run the risk of electrocution. Ho lived after the trial and so we all began to handle the utensils and to ask questions. The apparatus is so simple that it is a wonder it is not in general use.
