As the rase now stands. Patrick is safe at least until next October, when the United States supreme court will pass upon the writ nf error granted on .Turn- 12 by Justice Hay. This writ wa granted at Canton, o.. within six davs of the time set for Pat-

Two days later Patrick was formally charged with the murder of Rice and held without ball pending a hearing. Kvents In Patrick's case came pwlftly after this. On April 9 Jnos deelared that Patrick bad admitted to Ms lawyers In Jones' pfOOOOOO, that ho had killed Rice oM April 15 Patrick was remanded .,n the charge of murder. Tour dEV3 later, at a pre

Recorder Goff called Patrick to the bar on April 7, and after denying the motion for a now trial and another motion for the arrest of judgment, he sentenced Patrick to die in the electric Choir in the werk beginning .May 5. A notice of appeal was at once filed with the court of tpOOOlO. This acted temporarily as a stay of execution, and the dreaded week of May ;a ! with Patrick still alive. A delay of almost three years followed, during which Patrick nOoot fully checkmated every move made to end his life. Patrick's lawyers had six months from the date of the notice of appeal In which to present their case to the crv.rt. The six months expired on October 7. ISou. but on the day previous went before the court of apP als and askeil for an extension to January It, within which to file Patrick's appeal for a new trial. Two days later the COttli refused the application for an extension of

Patrick followed these with another rippe d to the governor for a stay of execution, but this, too. the governor refused to fcTOnt When Joooory lä came and Potrick'i execution was only distant seven days, the governor granted Patrick an extension to .Match Pt in order that he might present the testimony of the Texan witnesses who COOM to New York city later to tell what Valet Jone; hnd told them about Patrick's Innocence Patrick waiied until 1'ebiuary 1 1 before filitip his motion for I new trial 00 ton grounds of newly discovered eviOOOOO Mis flpht for a new trial begar before Recorder Goff on February 2t and ended disastrously, one of the Texan witnesses being at rested and sent to jail for perjury.

A Bi'Wi Incline Railroad. Consul William lUnhl writes from Ban i be ry that h'ngUy w Bnlderanor, Of Balsberg, has invented a balloon railroad, experiments with which ars now be.ng made in the mountains in the neighborhood of that (lenuan city. It consists ot a tdationary balloon, which is fOMnOOd to a klule rOOMiOO

aong a single steel rail. The rail Is fastened to the side of a steep mountain, which ordinary railroads could not climb, except through deep cut nd tUOneUk The balloon Is to flout about 3t feet over the ground, and a heavy stel cable connects It with the rail. The couductor can, at will, make the balloon slide up and down the side of the mountain. For going up the tnotuw power is furnished by hydrogrn gas. whils the descent Ü caused by prOMOM of water, which is poured into a large tank at the upper end of the road, and which serves as ballast. Suspended from the balloon is a CMvular car with room for ten fjfMfJfMfO. The cable goes from the bottom of the balloon through the center of the car to a regulator of speed, which la controlled by the conductor. The Inrantor of this railroad claims that hl patent will force all Incline cable roads out of existence. The Things Wc Eat. Too much meat is absolutely hurtful to the body.
