Washington, Jan. 31.—Opening what promises to be a week's discussion on tbe railroad rate bill, Mr. Townseml ol Michigan addressed tbe bouse, touching ou and elucidating practically every phase of tbe railroad rate making prob lem and describing in detail the terras of the Hepburn bill. FATHER MURGAS STILL AT WORK Tlflls, Caucasia, Jan. 29, via St. Petersburg, Jan. 81.—Tbe murder of General Griaenoff, chief of tbe staff of tbe viceroy of tbe Caucasus, was most dramatic and audacious. The assassin evidently bad studied tbe habits of his victim and lay in wait behind a wall of tbe Alexander garden opposite tbe entrance of the palace, where a carriage was drawn up to take the general for his dally drive. As all suspicious persons are liable to be searched In tbe streets by tbe police and military patrols, the assassin impersonated a painter, carrying the bomb with which he committed the crime concealed in a pnliit can. He was thus able to pass the sentry posted at the gates of the park and reached his place of ambush without arousing suspicions. Ueneral Grlaznoff, clad in a' crimson uniform and the wblte lamb's wool shapka, or cap, woru by the viceroy's ald-de-camp, made a shining target for tbe crouching assassin when be emerged from the palace. As tbe general stepped into the carriage the man sprang on (he wall, swung the can by a cord, and tbe bomb, as If thrown from u sling, with marvelous precision sped straight to the mark and struck tbe general on tlje neck. A flash of Are and a terrltic explosion followed, and (iriu/.noff was literally blown out of the carriage and, with bis coachman. Cossack orderly and tbe latter's horse, wus Instantly killed. A lady who was passing at the time of tbe explosion was mortally wounded. OF New York, Jan. 31.—Professor Matthew H. Hilgert, commercially known to the Four Hundred and maker of "magic mechan ico-phyBiological" boots, advertised to cure all ills of the body, was arrested in his offices by detectives of the County Medical society. He is a notable prisoner, for he is reputed to have made a $5,0(K) pair of shoes for Charles M. Schwab and to have accumulated a large fortune by his calling. Indianapolis, Jan. 31.—The demands of the miners of the central competitive and of the southwestern fields, were discussed in separate scale committee sessions behind closed doors yesterday. National officers of the miners said that the indications were that there would be no report from either of these inner chamber bodies for at least two days. COURTS He vera 1 lDaniug« Claims are Occupying tlio AttcMiuA of the Judges lican, Endeavoring to Get, Practical Results From Trials Willi Underground PRESENTATION MADE. and Juror*. Electric Currents. The damage suit of Abraham Baicher against the People's Street Railway Co., of Nantieoke, came to an abrupt end in court yesterday. Judge Ferris allowed a oompulsory non-suit to be entered, on the ground that the plaintiff had failed to show negligonee on the pairt of the defendant company. A rul# was granted to show cause why the non-suit should iDot be taken oft and it will come up in the next argument court. William liaidler Given Handsome Gift Like tbe bill of last year which bore Mr. Townseud's name, he said the pres ent one was the very least the people1 would accept, yet the present bill com fers vtlder powers Mid extepds ovei every form of transportation However, tbe present bill, be believed, not only came fully within the constitutional powers of congress, but was simply an expression of the plain duty ot congress to the American people. In brief, tbe bill attempts, he said, to place under tbe supervision ol the Interstate commerce commission everj form of interstate and foreign com merce and all Instrumentalities ot commerce and transportation. Rev. Father Joseph Murgas, the distinguished inventor of the Murgas system of wireless telegraphy now bekig exploited by the Universal Aether /Telegraph Co., of Philadelphia, is still working on experiments looking for improvements in the present wireless system of transmission of messuges through the air and along another line, which, if successful, will revolutionise tilings in the wireless telegraphy experiments now being carried on in many parts of the world. by Employes of Patterson & The central competitive fields scale committee has not begun its fight over the miners' demands for 12 1-2 per cent, increase in wages. This first demand was passed and the other demands were taken up. All day the miners and operators committeemen fought over the demand for the single run of mine basis and the 7- cent differential between pick and machine mining. tvD. Last Evening. Dr. Albert Wbit«house, an osteopath and Hllgert's principal assistant in bis business, was attested at the same time. Both men were taken to Jefferson Market court, where they were charged before Magistrate Pool with practicing medicine without a certificate. The hearing was adjourned, and ball was fixed at $500 in each case. William Laidler, who recently resigned his position «is head of the estimating department of J. E. Patterson & Co-.'s mill In this city, to accept a similar position in a larger establishment in Milwaukee, Wis., was made the recipient of a handsome gift last evening by the men with whom he had worked for many years. It was the intention of the employes to make the presentation yesterday at noon, but Mr. Laidler left the office before the whistle blew for dinner and the men had to change their plans somewhat. The jury rendered, a verdict for William Kelt, the defendant In the suit In which Georgfi Graber, of Freeland, sued for wages due him as a stonemason In building county bridges for Keil. The verdict was for $9.03, the amount that Keil claimed that he had overpaid Graber. The operators of the central competitive field voted down every demand of the miners made In the Joint scale committee meeting with the exception of the demand that boys under 16 years be prohibited from working in and around the mines. The age was changed to 14 years and the demand was granted. During' the past six months, says the Wilkesbarre ltecord ubout $3,000 has been expended by Father Murgas In purely experimental work and a loss of about $0,000 was occasioned by the destruction of the Hcranton tower by a wind storm. To guard against a similar happening In Wllkesbarre four holes are now being dug on different sides of the Wilkesburre tower. Iron pipes will be sunk ill • these and to them the tower will be anchored by means of steel ropes. It has not yet been decided as to how the Scrimton tower is to be replaced but it is likely that u steel tower will be constructed there. Back of the arrest of these men, who are declared to be professional quacks by Champe Andrews, counsel for the County Medical society, lies an amazing story of Hilgert's manufacture of "wonder boots" that have been sold to millionaires of this and other cities for prices ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. They all gathered last evening, Mr. Laidler being present, and J. G. Petit, who is foreman of the mill, stepped forward and undressed Mr. Laidler as follows: Tbe most serious complaints on the part of shipper#, lie said, have been directed against Hpeoial services, su«b as private cars, icing, elevator and terminal charges and the like. Mr Towniwnd believes tbe bill affords a complete remedy for all of these evils, as hereafter every such charge musl be Just aud reasonable, and in case II is not tbe commission has power to makf It so. The case of the Albert Lewis Lumber Co. against Joseph Hendler was tried before Judge Ferris and the jury brought In a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount of the. claim. 1370.58. The plaintiff sued to recover 20.53 for lumber and timber furnished to Joseph Hendler, the Wllkesbarre contractor, who used the material as false work lu the rebuilding of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Co.'s bridge at White Haven In Jan., 1908, after the bridge had been partally swept away by the flood. The defense contended that the lumber was shpped to tho Hendler Construction Co., which conccrn was building the bridge over the Lehigh river and that Joseph Hendler was not responsible for the bill. It is believed that the scale committee will report a disagreement. Children Said to Have Been Crippled. The regular meeting of the Joint scale committee of the operators and miners of the central competitive district will adjourn temporarily to permit the operators to attend a called meeting. Wiiether this meeting of the operators is to be held to formulate a counter proposal to the demands of the miners' scale committee Is not known. Equally sensatldnal are the assertions made In the complaint against Hilgert and his assistant that as a result of UBlng the "Hilgert curative footgear method" children have become so seriously crippled that it Is doubtful If they will ever be cured of their ailments."Mr. Laidler: We are assembled here to express our regrets at your departure from among us, but It Is a pleasure to every one here, knowing that you are bettering yourself. We wish you success and, as a token of remembrance from your fellow workmen and friends, we beg you to accept this gift with the best wishes for a successful career in Mie future. We wish you Godspeed." Work Is now being carried on at Seranton in boring a hole to a depth of 115 -feet for the purpose of carryin1 on experimental work In sending messages by ground current. The drill has been In operation there for nearly four weeks but an extremely hard rock has been encountered and it will probably be some time before the excavation there is completed. The "Midnight Rate" Evil. President Mitchell said there would be no session of the United Mine Workers' convention until after adjournment of the Joint scale committee.The evil of the "midnight rate" was described and the remedy set forth, re quiring thirty days' notice of a change of rate. Briefly "the midnight rate" is ti device whereby a large shipper notifies a road that on « certain date n large shipment will he made. On that day the published tariff is changed for a day, the shipment made at the lower rate and the tariff immediately raised At the hearings to be given the two men next week the names of Bishop Henry C. Potter, Robert (ioelet, the young multimillionaire; H. R. Towne, the millionaire key manufacturer; John T. Brush, proprietor of the New York Baseball club; Charles M. Schwab, James Butler and Guy C. Major will be Introduced. It Is asserted that all of them have had dealings with Professor Hilgert and have either liougbt or been approached as possible purchasers of the most expensive shoes known to humanity. Widow Kneel* by 8hapeless Body. As Mr. Petit concluded he stepped forward and handed to Mr. Laidler a handsome silver water set. ' The recipient was taken completely by surprise, but he made a little speech of thanks in which earnestness more than made up for any little deficiencies caused by the unexpectedness of the gift and lack of time for preparation. The meeting then became an informal gathering In which the men each in person gave Mr. Laidler their best wishes. Orifiznoff'a shapeless body, surrounded by soldiers, presented a sickening spectacle. It seemed as if his crimson uniform lind melted Into the pool of blood in which weltered his head, torn away from the trunk. The general's distracted widow knelt in the blood and mud beslcte the mutilated remains. The soothing and comforting effects of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, when applied to Plies, sores, cuts, bolls, etc., subdues pain almost Instantly. This Salve draws out the inflammation, reduces swelling and acts as a rubefacient, thus circulating the blood through the diseased parts, permitting or aiding Nature to permanently remove the trouble entirely. Sold by T. J. Yates. Father Murgas met with a. misfortune in the excavation of a similar hole here. The hole had already been drilled to the required depth anrt had been concreted. The heavily insulated pipes in which were the wires for the experiments were all sunk in the ground and things were about complete for the experimental work on this end of the line, when it was discovered thaJ the water !uui- guinm* entrance to the hole in some manner, thus spoiling it for experimental purposes. The piping was recovered with considerable difficulty but the work of boring the hole and concreting it has been a dead loss and as soon as the excavation is completed at Seranton it will be necessary to bring the drilling machine back to Wllkesbarre and bore another hole here. The hole already bored is located over the brow of the hill behind the present MISSION WORK DISCUSSED The main feature of the bill, bearing on the point about which the greatest controversy has raged and the one which Mr. Towusend believes lies at the foundation of the whole question. Is that which gives the commission power upon complaint and after full hearing to substitute a reasonable maximum rate in place of one found to be unjust or unreasonable. Mr. Towusend declared that to require the railroads to be just and reasonable could not harm any one, while it would benefit all. The assassin had already been caught, beaten into insensibility by the Infuriated soldiers and, after being loaded into a drosky, was being carried off to the ancient fortress above the city, wliere, as Tlftis is under martial law, he will probably he executed.

The wide publicity of railroad affairs required in the bill was, in his opinion, a potent factor for good. 'Hie provisions expediting the business of the commission and the cases In the courts growing out of the operation of the law he regarded as vital. The courts are to pass simply on the validity of the decisions, and the appeal to the supr«me court will be on the question as to whether a given rate fixed by the commission is or is not confiscatory.

Ingrowing nails and all ailments of the feet and limbs." SPECIAL NOTICES. The preliminary experiments in sending messages by ground current have been entirely successful. Experiments have been carried on between 12-feet-deep holes In Father Murgas' garden and at the lower tower with remarkable success. An air current system was rigged up between the two points and when the experiments were carried on it was found that the ground current system transmitted the message with better effect than did the air current between the same points. If the larger experiments prove successful then the necessity for bulding towers will be eliminated and a lai'ge element of cost removed. Mob Frees Prisoners at Riga. Bishop Talbot made the first address of the afternoon, speaking in most complimentary terms of the work which the women are doing for missions and giving a number of Illustrations showing the relation this diocese has with the foreign field. Among the connecting links with mission work in general is Rev. Paul Jones, son of Rev. Dr. Jones, who has recently decided to take up work in Utah, where he will be in close touch with a school in which young Mormon men are being educated. MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.

Justice Deuel Will Resign. The resolution, as amended in the house, provided that the Information should be furnished only In case it should not be deemed incompatible with the public Interests to do so.
