Parkersburg. May 27.—The local
medical profession is greatly interest
ed in »•» electrical test recently mad*'
¥ Dr. C. B Blubaugh of Hits city
" hich it developed, is expected to
bring fortH wonderful results In the
mar future. I)r Blubaugh. by the
anl of ms Invention, expects to be
able to resusciate an electrocuted
person, and bis method is nothing
but a mixture of wot mud.
On Wednesday of this week l)r.
Blubaugh gut permission to try his
scheme at the power house of the
Parkersburg and Marietta Interur-.
ban company. As subjects he took
three rats. The first he electrocuted
and after wafting three minutes ap
plied the wet mud, with the result
that the rat was soon able to walk
away. The second test was made af
ter the rat hud been electrocuted for
five minutes, and was equally suc
cessful. To cap the climax another rat
was electrocuted and an appliance of
the wet mud given it after ten min
utes had elapsed. It was able to walk
slowly away after being resusciuted
Local physicians who have witnes
sed the wonderful test say that they
see no reason why it should not work
better on a human than on a rat. It
is believed that a man could he re
susclated much quicker, as the prepa
ration would not have to take effect
going through a tDick covering of I
hair. Further tests will he mode'
by Dr. Blubaugh this week, and re
sults will be awaited with interest.

Unwritten Law in
A Novel Test

HSTKH I'ltLSLXTS 91 i:stion
IN XKW WAV.
Washington, l» r, May 28.- The
circuit court of Nelson county, Vu.,
is about to undertake to clnstrue
the “unwritten law" presenteri in a
manner entrlelj novel In that Stuf«.
The case Is that of Judge W. L
Loving.
Judge Loving, fine of the best
known men In Virginia, was tol-l by
ills wife on April 2 2 last that Theo
dore Kates had taken their daugliti 1
Elizabeth, IS years old, driving the
evening before, had given her a
drink out of a bottle, when she be
came unconscious, snd was In that
condition when the two returned af
ter 'lark to the house of a neighbor
whom her daughter was visiting
Judge Loving shot and killed yourur
Kstess a few hours later.
That the "unwritten law" Is rec
ognized by Juries of Virginia Is ad
mitted, hut there Is doubt that a
Jury will acquit, under the “unwrlt
ten law If It he shown that the man
• voklng It as his defense acted under
misapprehension, or failed to make
effort to obtain enact facts.
91 dee the killing of young Kst<
there have been edvrlopments which
have caused a revulsion of public
sentiment. There is no question
fudge Loving thought when he
| went in search of i; t< and shot him
| down the young man had attacked
j Mi s Loving. Friend of Rates do
elare lie nevei harried her, and that
while he gave le i whiskey on the
drive it was at le i own request. It
Is asserted, ash. that the couple
were not out of Iizhf of witnesses
the entire time of tie- drive.
Miss Loving did not go home the
day afer the drive nt tie- hour she
had Intended, *< riding word to her
mother she fep too III A sho t
time afterward a oung man told
her father Mbs Loving had been
driven Into Loving loti after dark
and was Intoxicated
' I restrained myself with dlfflenl
t.v,” said Judge Loving at the pn-.
llminary examination, hoping there
might he some explanation. Lizzie
was sent for, hut did not corno. I
sent my wife f a*ked her what had
happened /ind he •said Theodore
drove her out, an when about a mil-*
out of town gave her a drink and
that she knew nothing more.
"When I heard th* awful storv
from the lips of my dear one I wiu
Insane. No power of Ood or man
could have prevented rny doing what
1 did.”
Judge ovlng gave himself tip after
the shooting, and was admitted to
ball In $.",00. One of the first tele
grams he received was from Thomas
1*. Kyau, of Now York, offering his
symimlhy and \oluuleering lo go ol
ids bond lor any amount. Mr. Kyau
has a country place near the scone
of tlte shooting, and Judge Loving is
bis counsel and business representa
tive in Virginia.
* here would be no doubt of the
outcome oi the trial had the facts
been as Judge Loving conceived
them, nor wll ltliero be any doubt
it. "hen the Jury retires lo cousldor
its verdict, it shall have been prove 1
that Judge Loving heard the truth
regarding Ids daughter and Estes.
Mat If tlte character of Estes be
cleared, and it be shown that Judge
Lovlug avenged a crime never com
mitted. Ids Irietuls will bo ill grout
anxiety while the Jury is deliberat
ing.

New York, May 28.—-Tho city of

«on of a king who, renouncing hiH
title to succession to tho throne of
>ne of the present old world mon
archies for a life of adventure, has
already, at the age of thirty-four,
pla«<d hi in self among the foremost
of (he world's explorers,
I’rlnce Louis of Italy, better known
I (!)*■ Duke of Abruzzi, Is the vlsi
tor Ife came to America with the
Italian fled iih Italy's representative
II the opening ceremonies of the
fa mod own exposition. From Nor
folk the admiral prince visited sev
ral other < Itles before embarking
fir New York on his flagship, the
Varone.
Just how long he will remain In
New York has not yet been deter
mined. Ills plans are indefinite but
If he accepts half the invitations
whlf h have been extended to him
the stay here will he a long fine It
Is likely that one of the pleasantest
features of the visit will bo the meet
ing which ha been arranged be
tw"e«*n the prince and Commander
I’eary, one of the two men who ever
exceeded his own '’farthest north”
record Today wa almost entirely

I will make his headquarters during I
his stay here. On Monday he will

he will attend a dinner which will be
given In his honor by Count Mas

I’rlnce l.ouig Is one ot the tlrst

Is the son of a king, having been
born at Madrid in 1876. while his
father, lln> Duke of Aosta, was king
Of Spall), from 1S7 0 to 1876. The
l>uke of Aosta was a brother of
King Humbert of Italy, thus making
he Duke of Ahrur./.i a cousin of tho
present King Victor vFmuinuuel of
Italy. ,
Although holding this exalted rank
In the house of Savoy, Prince I,ouls
preferred a life of adventure and
daring rather than the ease and lux

nounced title to succession to the
throne of Itnl^ nnd devoted nil his
time to exploring the remotest re
gions of the globe. His record of
success Is probably without parallel
