The Ball Thrives Very Close To Heart. lerlin, April 3.--~The thirty-first con- gress of the German chirurgical asso ciation opened here yesterday with a discussion of the first treatment of the wounded in battle. Proi. Von Bruns, detailing the reformed practice, resulting from experiments in Cubg and Soath Africa, declared that anti septic bandages were undoubtedly idea! for the battle field, superseoding anti septic treatment. Prof. Bergmann in troduced several patients to illustrate the desirability, as far as possible, of not molesting wounds by probing and other operations. The most remarka- { ble case was that of a man who at tempted to commit suicide with ao small calibre gun. The bullet pene trated the heart, but the wound heal ed quickly. Bubsequently "X" 'rays revealed the bullet lving on the right ventrile, bounding with each beat Eventually it became encased and now moves rhythmically with the heart, not causing the least inconvenivnce.

Mrs. Furbush had been missing small amounts of money recently and finally informed the police, who he gan an investigation, which was in progress when the tragedy occurred. Lane was suspected and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest, According to Lane's confession he saw Mrs, Barba last Monday night counting a large roll of hills. Know ing where she kept the money, he stole $70. Mrs. Furbush missed the money and questioned Lane, but he denied all knowledge of it.

Furbush in one of the middle rooms. He shot her twice. She died instantly. Eloise, in another room, hearing the noise, ran to see what wis the matter. As she entered Lane shot her in the ahdo wen. She fell and he thought he had killed her also, Without attracting the 'attenticn of another servant, Lane went to the front door and called in Madeline, skating on roller skates on the side walk. He told her that her mother wanted her, and without the slight- est suspicion of what had happened the child climbed the stairs without removing the skates. She went into a room adjoining that in which he mother lay dead Lane followed her, and as she called her mother, he shot her, killing her instantly, Lane in his confession, savs he then robbed the house of '#130, two watches and a pocketbook While he was searching for the jew- elry he was interrupted hy the arri val of two policemen, who had n warrant for his arrest on the charge of larceny. They asked to see Mrs. Furbueh, and Lane showed them to the sitting room, said he would call his mistress. The butler hastily don ned his overcoat and escaped by the rear. The policemen hearing a moan, began looking about, and found Eloise. To the policemen she said : "William shot my mother and sister and tried to kill me." She was sent to a hospital. The police traced Lane to the Pennsyl vania railroad station at Camden, N, J., where he was recognized bv one of the policemen he had admitted to the house. The officers hustled him on a ferry boat, and brought him police headquarters. Before going to Camden he had pur chased a suit of clothes, a light over coat, a valise and a box of cigars, He wore the new clothes and had his old suit to his gister's home in Burlington, N.J. At Camden station he telegraphed another at Bridgeport, that he was coming to see her At the police station Lane said he was sorry for what he had done. He was surprised to hear that Eloise was alive. He said he always liked her and hesitated to kill her, but "it was ne cessary to do 0." "Now that I have been caught," he added. "TI hope she will recover. | am also sorry for Mrs. Furbush and Ma deline, hut poverty tempted me to do it, and I must now suffer." Lane was afterward taken to the hospital where Eloice identified him. Lane said all the child said was true Lane is the son of a preacher who lives in Brodgeton.

Troubles Among Inventors 4 Wireless Telesraphy Berlin, - April 4. W. Bargemann, who represents Messrs. Siemons and Halske, made a statement regarding the legal proceadings which the firm | contemplates to protect. what it con its rights against other oper ators of wireless telegraphy systems The firm owns the patent. of Dr Braun. Mr. Bargemenn said that Messrs. SBiemons and Halske will in stitute procetddings in the law courts oi England against the Marconi com pany when their present case against the Allgemic Alektrizitet company, which holds the Staby patents,' issu This case, which is hefore the German courts, is a. claim for 1.500 marks for each case of intereference with thes company's rights, making an estimated total of over three million marks. A similar claim will be made against the Marconi wireless ¢om pany. Mr. Bargemann explains that the whole question turns upon which inventor discoverad the applicability of the electric circuit to wireless tele graphy. Dr. Braun claims that he can establish, bevomd controversy, that he was the discoverer of the circuit sys tem. The advantage of their circuit over the direct is that it enables di rect communication over practically any distance as compared with fifteen kilometers or thereabouts by direct, which, he says is the ntmost possible In spite of these claims, it how ever doubtful whether litigation will really decide the matter as the Unit ed States, English and German gos ernments are trving to arrange that all three inventors should submit their claims to a contemplated scien tific conference on the whole question of wireless telegraphy.
