Tlio churches of the city will unite In a

house this evening. Inasmuch as tlio motives
of the movers In this matter have been im
pugned by the democratic organ of the city It
is but fair to nil concerned that the facts
which have lend to this mooting should bo
made known. Some days ngo Mr. A. Over-
ton conceived the Idea that a general tem
perance awakening was a moral necessity In
this city. Ho visited various prominent
business men of tlio city relative to the mat
ter , the result of which is the present an-
nouncc ° meut. That it is a political move. In
nn.v Bcnso , Is disputed in the fact that Mr.
Ovcrton has been a life long democrat.
Neither ho nor' his associates in this work
have political or nuy other axes to grind.

Lllllc Oxloy AVns Not Murdered.
The investigation of the Lillie Oxley case
has not yet disclosed any foul play features ,
and it looks as though the verdict of the cor
oner's Jury should have been accidental
death instead of suicido. Colonel Dailoy and
Coroner Waterman have been energetically
looking up the matter , nnd have examined at
great length the threQ parties WHO awntmv
any direct knowledge of where the deatt girl
obtained the fatal dose of morphine that
ended her lifo and the manner in which it
was secured. These three are Mary Hoben ,
alias Frnnkio Park , Mollie Stanley and "Big
Nosed Jack , " a visitor at the Clover house on
the night of tlio tragedy. The testimony of
these parties all goes to prove that the morphine -
phino was obtained from the Stanley woman
at the solicitation of the dead girl and taken
by her in full knowledge of what it was and
its effects , and claiming to bo an habitual
morphine cater. In view of these facts ,
Colonel Dailey is opposed" to having- cither of
the parties arrested , as each of these women ,
although at sword's points in everything
else , steadfastly disclaims that iho other had
any criminal intent or was criminally to
blame in the matter , and the testimony of
neither would convict the other. No action
whatever will bo taken at present , and the
matter will rest pending further develop
ments. The "probable murder" theory is
entirely quashed , and the worst that can bo
made of it is criminal negligence.
It is acknowledged by both that the note
found in the dead girl's hand was not genu
ine. Mollie Stanley says that she and Frankie
wrote it together , that Frankie began it and
sbo finished it. Fninkio denies all knowl
edge of it until it was found ou tbo corpso.
They were botli concerned in getting the
morphine for Maud , and becoming scared ut
its fatal effect , fixed up the note to ward off
suspicion from themselves. When llrst
brought before the investigators , the Stanley
woman Hod by the wholesale for two straight
hours , but finally broke down nnd told every
thing connected with the affair in a straight
forward way that is now bolioved. Her last
story can not bo shaken in any particular.
The Park woman firmly adhered to her origi
nal statements through a three hours exami
nation , although many of her statements are
known to bo false. For out-and-out brazen
faced audacity and nerve , honors are easy be
tween these two.

Bismarck on the French
St. James Gazette : A rather amusing
resume of the views of Prince Bismarck
respecting the study of French and of
other languages is contained in a com
munication which M. Rendu has read to
the Academy of Moral and Political
Sciences in Paris. M. Hondu was ono
of the delegates who were sent in 1803
to the Congress of Social Science at
Berlin , and while in the Prussian capi
tal he unfolded the plan of Comto
Sclopis _ for the foundation of interna
tional schools in which pupils were to
study the language of each country ,
going from England to Franco , and so
on. The suggestion was favorably re
ceived in France , and when mooted to
Prince ( then Count ) Bismarck by M.
Rondu , iho Prussian premier expressed
his approval of it. When , however , M.
Rendu explained that it was proposed to
found a branch school in. Berlin , and
that a subsidy would bo expected from
the Prussian government for the pur
pose , tno count aaoinevl51 CJtipvenitonQ.
"You know , " said He , "that Prussia is a
country of beggars. The idea is a good
0110 for you pcoplo _ who literally reck
with gold and silver , but I have other
fish to try ; and , besides , you must \m-
derstand that wo are not the people
whoso interest it is to encourage such
studies. We Germans are conversant
with English , particularly with the
former , almost from birth ; while you
French have the audacity , as well as
the disadvantage , to know no language
but your own. That ignorance is the
oifect and sign of the supremacy of
French before which foreigners bow
down and dispense us from the necessity
of studying other tongues ; but wo want
to put a stop to that audacity. " In an
other conversation with M. Rondu , the
count remarked that ton years before
the date of the congress not a soul at
the French embassy in Berlin under
stood a word of German. Then the
count quoted Shelling , to the effect that
Gorman was majestic , strong , and sonorous
ous ns an organ. "I am satislioil with
the national organ , " added the future
chancellor of the German empire , "nnd
the time will como wb n I intend to
have all my despatches written in Ger
man , and when I shall find means to
make them understood oven in Franco. "
The chancellor has certainly kept his
word , and the most remarkable proof of
this is the providence of the study of
Gorman in every school and college in
Franco at the present day.
A Good Little Detroit Boy.
Mrs. Shamm gave a small but very
elegant tea the other evening , and , as u
reward for being good for two hours.sho
allowed her son Bertie , aged 10 yearsto
sit at the table with the guests. As an
example of cold-blooded villiany , says
the Detroit Free Press , wo give a few of
the remarks made by Mafater Bortio
during the progress of the meal :
"Ma , " ho asked first , "whoso spoons
arc thesoV"
"Hush , dear , " said Mrs. Shamm.
lie hushed for a second , then :
"Ma , whoso big crlabs dish is that ? "
"Little boys should ho .eon and not
heard , " said Mrs. Shamm , with a sickly
smile that did not conceal from the
guests the fact that there was a fearful
reckoning in store for Bortio on their
departure.
"Say , ma , " ho put in , interrupting
Mrs , Monoywoight. who was the special
guest of the occasion , "that isn't our
silver cake basket , is itV"
"Bertie , didn't you hear Mrs. Money
weight speaklngr' chides his distressed
parent.
"Well , I'll bo quiet if you'll toll mo
whoso pretty glasses those are. They're
Mrs. Baxter's , ain't thoyV"
"Bortio ! "
"Oh , ma , J forgot to toll you that
Mrs. Hooker wants you to bo euro and
send back her teaspoons to-night and
oh , ma , did you know that Sally broke
one of Mrn. Walker's nice tea cups , and
oh , what a pretty plate this la ! who
does it belong to'j1"
The doors had hardly closed on the
last guest when the neighbors were ap
prised by a sound whose import could
not bo mistaken that Berlin's time of
reckoning hud come. .

BEATS THE TELEPHONE.
iod 'i
Trof. Ellsha Grny's "Wortdcrftil nnd
- Vnlunbio luir&Mnn.
Chlcogo Herald ! Pro ? . " Ellshn Gray ,
of Highland park , has justcomplotodnn
invention scarcely les I wonderful nnd
valuable than the telephone , of which
ho was nlso the inventrfr.'but of which
ho was defrauded.t4VvHWn ; n few
days' " said the professor , yesterday , "I
shall give a private .fosh of my now
telautograph , nn invention which will
largely supplant the telephone. I have
already tested it to iny1 satisfaction ,
over and over again , nnd on Saturday I
shall give an exhibition to epma gentle
men from the east. I littyo just taken it
to pieces to make some slight altera
tions , or I would show it to you now.
"By this invention you can sit down
at your ofllco in Chicago , t ko a pencil
in your hand , write u message to mo ,
and as your pencil moves a pencil hero
in my labratory moves simultaneously
nnd forms the same letters and words in
the same way. What you write in Chicago
cage is instantly reproduced facsimile.
You may write in any language ; wrlto
in shorthand if you like , use iv code or
cipher , no matter , a fac-similo is pro
duced hero. If you wish to draw n pict
ure it is the eame the picture is repro
duced here. The tvrtlst of your paper
can , bv this device , telegraph his pict
ures oil a railway wreck or other occur
rence , just as a reporter telegraphs his
description in words. The two pencils
move synchronously , and there is no
reason why a circuit of 600 miles cannot
be worked as easy as one of ton miles.
"This telautograph will supplant the
the telephone for many reasons. It can
bo worked in exchanges , just as the telephone -
-ophono is , or by private wire. It has
many advantages , too. It is noiseless
and devoid of the many annoyances PO
common to the telephone. It will be
much less affected by induction. Thcro
will bo no trouble in catching words or
syhCblOs. letters or figures. No misun
derstandings will result. Besides , it
leaves a record at both ends of the wire ,
and there can bo no dispute about what
is said. For nil commercial transac
tions this would bo nn invaluable fea
ture. In ordering goods , or in sales of
stock or grain or in transmitting names
or addresses its superiority over the tel
ephone is obvious. Kor desultory con-
vorsntioh , it is true , it would not be so
rapid of working , for the reason that
one cannot write as fast as he can talk ,
but , on the other hand , it would save
many of the delays and annoyances in
cident to telephonic communication.
"When one person wishes to commu
nicate with another by the telauto
graph ho pushes a button , which rings
an annunciator in the exchange , or in
the ofllco of the por&on with whom ho
wishes to converse. Then the first
party takes his writing pencil
from its holder and this may bo pen or
pencil and writes his message upon a
roll of paper. As he writes so writes
the pencil at the other end of the wire.
Finishing his messageh'c.ndds a cross ,
or any other simple token that he has
finished , when the second party takes
Jown the pencil and writes a reply.
Thus a conversation can | be carrind on
easily and quickly , and whqn it is fin
ished another simple word-r ay the tel
egraphic signal ' 80' wijl indicate the
end. Both parties hnvo.n full record of
the converbation , and each possesses the
other's autograph.
' 'In writing,1- continued thp professor ,
"your pen or pencil is attached to two
small wires , and these vires regulate
the currents which control the pencil at
the other end of the wjro. . But these
wires give you no trouble. 'You ' hardly
know they are there , and'can write with
as much facility as if 'they were ab
sent. " ; ,
"Can this invention be used to advantage
' " '
tage commercially' :
"Yes. It will not cost more than $15
or $20 , and is easily kept in order. I
have tried it again nnd again , and it
works more perfectly than the tele
phone , and is much less liable to have
its usefulness interfered with by induc
tion. "
BuLDiis ianotUic only ea-ai in-vp -
tion Prof. Gray has in hand. He has
just completed also an automatic switch
board for telephonic exchanges by
which the user of a telephone or telau
tograph can put himsoli in communica
tion with any other instrument. To do
this ho has simply to touch a button a ,
certain number of times corresponding
to the number of the other instrument.
If the wire leadingtothnt _ instrument is
already in use ho is informed of that
fact by the ringing of a boll , and he
then waits a few minutes , as he is now
so often compelled to do , nnd then
pushes the button again. By this in
vention one person in an exchange can
do the work of thirty or forty under the
present system , the duties of the ono
being merely to keep the automatic ap
paratus in order.
ENGINES IN'THE SULKS.
Examples of Peculiar Superstition on
the Pnrt of Ijooomotivo Jjimlnccrs.
Now York Press : "Locomotives are
funny things , " said an Erie railway en
gineer , "and I have seen them when I
believed they were actually human.
They get the sulks and have balky
streaks , and when they are in such
moods you can't make time with them
any more than you con fly. , Then again ,
they'll bo as chipper am'l willing as a
thoroughbred horse , and you actually
have to hold 'cm in to keep from run
ning into stations ahead of time.
' Take the case of Josh Martin and
Gad Lyman , two of the old-time Erie
engineers , the former being still alive ,
I believe , and the latter having died
only a few years ago. Neither of them
hod a superior In skill as engineers in
their day. Josh was running a locomo
tive that ho' was greatly attached to ,
and the tcquol proves that the attach
ment was mutual.
"For some reason or other the super
intendent of the road wanted Josh's
locomotive for use on apportion of the
road that Lyman was running on , and
no ordered Lyman nnd Alartin to ex
change engines. The old follows who
remember it say Unit when Josh's
engine was run away from Port Jervis
Josh cried like a baby , ujid. Umt the engine
gino herself was all bjroko up at the
parting , for she was an hour'ongor ' than
she should have been in gc ting to her
now field of labor. ,
"Gad Lyman took charge , of her , but
she had made up.her'mind that she
wouldn't work under him and she didn't.
She persistently got stalled with the
lightest of train , and could not bo made
to make her time , under any circum
stances. After a wools , ' , , trial Lymun
reported the engine 'no 'ood , ' and she
was condemned and put'ion the gravel
train between Piormont and SuiTern.
She worked .as balky and sulky as over ,
and the superintendent ordered her to bo
broken upnnd thrown on the scrap heap.
' 'I suppose the stubbornest locomotive
that was over put on a road was ono of
the 'Twin Sisters , ' a couple of splendid
machines built by the Now- York Cen
tral a few years ago. They were made
exactly alike in every particular , from
the same patterns , by the same work
men and of-tho same materials. There
wasn't a man on the road that could toll
which was which until their numbers
were painted on them. They were
beauties , and the engineers who were
assigned to duty on them were the envy
of nil the boys. When the engines
were put on trial ono of them developed
amazing powers of speed and strength.
"Sno could take a freight train up a
grndo with scnroly nn effort , nnd with (
paSgongor train could strike a fifty
mlle nn hour pnto with oafo , The
other ono wouldn't go nt nil , Kvon
when , pulled wide open she would elm'
ply give a few spiteful puffs of blncl
smoke , n few turns of her driving
wheels , nnd then would stop. The wnj
she exhausted stonm showed that she
wns n vixen.
They put her in the round house nm1
kept her there for six months , thinking
thnt she might get over her sulks nnd
run nil right on another trial. One dny
they fired her up nnd tried her. She
stnrlcd off like n bennty nnd rnn two
miles in n little over two minutes. Then
the old spoil came over her nguin , nnd
she took iho sulks worse than ever. "
of Hidden Treasure.
A letter to the Baltimore Sun from
the cast shore of Virginia says : Per
sons arriving hero yesterday from Pun-
goteaguo , in the lower part ot Accomnr ,
report that Lorenzo Mcars , a tenant on
the Fair View farm , situated near there
on Nandun creek , has recently found a
largo quantity of gold and silver Eng
lish coins , which , Recording to an old
tradition , were burled there during the
revolutionary war by a wealthy English
man. Tradition has it that this man ,
being a lory. and not sympathizing with
the colonies in their contest with the
mother country , buried his money
and went back to England , where
ho intended to stay till the war was
over , but ho died there without reveal
ing the exact spot whore ho had buried
his money. Many years after the revo
lution some of his descendants in Eng
land came to Accomao and procured
permission from the owner of the place
to make search for the buried treasure.
After spending much money and several
months in a fruitless quest for the
money they returned to England , and
nothing more was ever heard of the
hidden treasure till it was reported
that Lorenzo Moars had exhumed it
from it from its hiding place. It seems
that Mears made an effort to keep the
matter from the knowledge of the pub
lic , but a little boy who lives with him
went out to the neighboring village of
Pungoteaguo several days ago and in
formed several persons that his "Uncle
Rcnzio" had dug up an iron pot full of
gold nnd silver coin which twomon could
scarcely bear. Mcars is reported to have
confessed that he found some money , but
denies that it was In such largo quan
tity as has boon reported. Several of
his neighbors have seen some of the
coins. They are quite old , some- bearing
the image of Charles 1. and others that
of George III. The name of the revo
lutionary owner of the land is no longer
known hero. The farm where the mys
terious treasure is reported to have been
found is the prettiest nnd most pictiu--
csnueon Nandau creek , Itbolongstotho
heirs of the late John Pitts , of Acco-
nuic. Clobo by was the scat of the fa
mous Queen of Nandua , who ruled over
the Indian tribes in that section , and
not far off is the general burrying-
ground of the Indians , where the bones
of the buried skeletons may still bo
seen protruding from _ the steep side of
the creek , which the current in the
creek is fast washing away. The local
ity is full of old traditions , and those who
arc best acquainted with 'the locality
are inclined to believe the report about
the finding of the hidden treasure.
Some Astonishing Statistical Results.
Christian Advocate : A recent speako r
says that the negroes in this country
have multiplied eight times in n cen
tury. As they have 7,000,000 now , in
1080 they will amount to 102,000,000. If
they maintain the same relative rate of
increase they will. The whites in ten
years by birth and immigration have
increased 30 per cent. At this rate
there will be 800,000,000 whites and
over 200,000,000 negroes in all 1,000-
000,000 in the United States in 1988.
Who believes either of these state
ments V By that method one can prove
that the Methodist Episcopal church
will soon have more communicants than
the world will contain neonlc. Lnst
yc-i H gained 5 pel1 coiii net. This rate
will double its membership every four
teen years. Hence , in 1H)2 ! ) it will have
4.000,000 ; in 1910 , 8,000,000 ; in 1980 ,
10,000,000 ; in 1914 , : i.000,000 ; in
1958 , 04,000,000 ; in 1072 , 1 8,000,000.
and so , doubling every fourteen years ,
in the year 2084 , less than 200 years
from the present date , there will bo
32,708,000,000 of members of the Moth-
odibt Episcopal church in the United
States alone ! Toil on then , brethren.
Do not let the fact that , according to the
figures of the speaker quoted above ,
there will bo only 6,400,000.000 negroes
and 13.200.000,001) ) whites in all 11)- )
600,000,000 of people in the United
States at that time disturb you. Who
cares for a little deficit of 3 , 1 08 , 000 , 000 'i
Great is statistics ! Of course , other de
nominations are deluding themselves.
They think they are increasing : but as
wo are going to include the whole popu
lation , and several thousand millions
more , they must cease to exist ! The
only trouble is that if home of them con
tinue to grow as at present the multi-
slica lion table will wipe us out in the
pumo way ,
