A POOR QUEBECKER DISCOVERY. Current Generated Directly From the Earth--Sells Rights For Million and a Half--Plan of His Discovery. Quebec, Nov. 20.--1t is claimed that a poor young French-Canadian here has made a wonderful discovery in the generation of electricity which will re- duce the cost of house lighting and heating to a mere trifle and seriously threaten investments everywhere in coal gas and electric companies should it come into general application, and that all the patent rights have been purchased by a poweriul American coal mining syndicate to keep them out of the market. The amount paid' is said to be $1,500,000, of which $250,000 is in cash. The fortunate discoverer of this new principle is a young fellow named Leclere, aged twenty-two, who was born and resides in this city with his parents, He is entirely uneducated, and is a plumber by trade. It appears that while engaged as an apprentice in learning his trade, he developed spe- cial interest and remarkable aptitude in electrical work and devoted all his spare time and money to acquiring in formation on. the subject, though he could neither read nor write, concern- ing the idea that sufficient electric cur- rent might be generated directly from the earth instead of by costly water and steam power plants located at a distance from the points of consump- He worked along the lines of first merely bells, in whieh y ful, and then to light in which, it is claim ed, he also fully' succeeded some 3 time ago. Since then the secret has been carefully kept until all the patent rights were scéured in America and Europe. 'With the aid of a machine of his invention, which it is said may be placed in an ornamental hox or case, taking up very little space, a sufficient electrie current can be gon erated to light and heat any build ing from the ground directly under- neath at an annual cost so small as to seem almost ridiculous. Every householder way thus manufacture his own electricity for all his heating and lighting 'purposes. The genuineness of the discovery is said to be vouched for by experts. 5 ---- CONVICT MAIL ROBBER. Is Sued By a United States . Senator. Philadelphia, Pa., May. 20.--Ce ge Mitchell, alias Alfred Henry, now a prisoner in Carson City penitentiary, undergoing sentence for mail robbery, has been made the defendant in a civil action brought in the Montgomery County courts to recover a lot at Glenside, which it is alleged, he pur chased by forging a draft found amongst the contents of a stolen mail pouch. George B. Nixon, United States senator of Nevada; John 8S. Cook and George Wingfield of Goldfield, Neb., are the plaintiffs in this unique suit which will proceed to-morrow or the day after as the order fixing service on defendant was returned to-day. The plaintifis state that on November 20th, 1905, they mailed to Russell Joy, of this city a draft on Cook and company for $1,244 which was stolen from the sack at Hazen Junction, Neh. This draft to which the names of Russell T. Joy and January Jones, the latter a Nevada banker, were forged, was paid by Cook and com- pany. Latter it was learned that jt had heen given in payment for allot in Glenside, and they now ask the courts that the property be conweved over to them. The action is dended. SAVED FOUR LIVES.
