An Important Suit Involving the Credit of Its Invention ana Large Amounts of Capital. From the New York Post, Nov. 17. About three years ago the “People’s Tele- phone company” was organized for the manu- facture and sale of telephones made after a pat- tern of which one Daniel Drawbaugh, an in- ventive genius living in the wilds of Penn- sylvania, claimed to be the inventor. Suits were at once begun by the company owning the Bell. Edison and Gray patents, those patents being controlled by one company, and a tem- porary injunction was obtained restraining the People’s Telephone company from selling their telephones. This was the first step in a patent suit which has become celebrated, and of which the last and most important stages are about to oceur. The enormous importance of the suit will be appreciated at once when it is stated that the result of the suit, in case Drawbaugh should prove his claims, would be to reduce the cost of telephones to an almost nominal price, unless the patent commissioners should issue a patent to Drawbaugh, in which case the public would be no better off than at present, and the telephone business would remain a monopoly complete as that of the manufacture of sewing machines was ten years azo. In the original answer of the People’s com- pany tothe application for an injunction of the Bell, Gray and Edison companies, Drawhauch sets forth that the Beli patents are invalid be- cause Bell was not the original and first in- ventor or iscoverer of any substantial part of the thing patented, and that before his alleged invention the same (or substantially the same) thing had been invented by Drawbaugn. Also that Daniel Drawbaugh was the original and first inventor and discoverer of the art_of communicating ar- ticulate speech between distant places by voltaic and magneto electricity. The answer goes on to say that long before the invention of Bell, Gray, an on, Drawbaugh constructed and oper- ated practical working electricity speaking tele- phones at Eberly’s Malls, Cumberland county, Pa., and exbibited their successful operation to Many persons, that these telephones contained all the material and substantial parts and inven- tions patented by Bell, and that they were in use from 1870 to 1574, and that at least one hundred persons. knew that Drawbaugh claimed to be the original inventor. Draw- baugh, however, it gays, was for more than ten years before 1880 miserably poor, in debt, aad With a large and heipless family, and was from such causes utterly unable to patent his invention or caveat it, or manufacture or intr duce it into the mar! that he never aban- doned it, but intended to patent it as soonas he could procure the necessary pecuniary means. After testing his invention he conceived that its range and capacity for usefulness to the public might be greatly enlarged, and he set to work to discover improvements, which he did, it is alleged, prior to the invention of Bell, who has incorporated them in his patents. A year ago last January Drawbaugh made an application fora patent on his telephone, which was of course rejected. Then began the law proceed- i ‘o give Drawhaugh or the company repre- him the right to sell telephones, and the ‘matter will be brought to a conclusion one way or another within a few months. Areporter of the Evening Post talked to-day with several patent lawyers who are conversant with the Bell-Drawbaugh suit. and admitted that the cost of telephones to the public would fall 75 per cent. if Drawbaugh’s claims were allowed. Drawbaugh will produce one hundred witnesses ready to swear that they used his tel- epkone in 1870. Much of the evidence on the other side will go to prove that Drawbaugh did not make use of an undulatory current such as Bell _uses, but depended on the noise made by Tay interruptions of the current, something like the buzz of a telegraphic transmitter key worked very fast. Speech could be understood through it, but with more or less difficulty, and all voices were alike. According to the laws an invention which has been in use for two years canhot be patented unless the inventor can showthat between the time ot the invention and the application for a patent he has been at work on improvements. All that Drawbangh asks is that Bell be restrained from interfering | with the production and sale of his telephones. As the construction of telephones cost but a trifle compared with the prices now asked for them, the canceling of the Bell patents would oO} the doors for many companies to begin their manutaeture. —_—~e.__ The Eye. The eye is preserved in the convenient form of a sphere or ball by the simple device of having its interior cavity filled with liquid, which pre- vents the limp and otherwise flexible coats from puckering up Into any irregularity of shape. It is like a bladder distended with water, which is firm and tense on account of the contained liquid being so shut in bythe membraneous wall that it cannot escape anywhere from the tight grasp in which it is held. There are, however, in the interior of the eye, two quite distinct chambers in which this liquid is distributed, one in front of, and one behind, the erystaline lens. ‘The lens hangs, as it were, in the midst of the liquid. The r~ tion which is in front of the lens is little more than a very weak aqueous solution of salt, and is on that account termed the aqueous humor of the eye; the portion which is behind more nearly resembles a solution of white of egg. On account of this somewhat thicker consis- it is termed the vitreous or glass-like Both humors, however, exert very nearly the same influence upon the vibrations of the light, and the optical part of the eye thus, comes to be considered as composed sim- ply of two refracting parts—the denser lens ‘nd the thinner humors.

Seized by an Meb and Hurriced ” Away te his Death. From the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The jail at Durand, a common two-story frame house, with iron gratings at the windows and ‘wooden ones inside, a flimsy, insecure structure, stands on a little eminerce about a block and a half from the court house, and the latter is sur- rounded by a large yard, in which are several small trees and one large one with a projecting limb reaching to the walls of the building. When I reached the yard I found a number of people therein, all talking about Maxwell and all waiting patiently, though it was far from warm and there was several inches of snow on the ground, for a sight of the prisoner when he should be brought out for his | arses hear- ing. Mostof those gathered there seemed like farmers or Inmbermen from out of town, afid there was a fair sprinkling of women and chil- nl. As the minutes passed the crowd augmented, and when 2 o'clock came the court-room up stairs—a small apartment at best—was crowded to suffocation. As Maxweli—cool and collected ashe \ a erga when he landed from a skiff inthe midst of a crowd on the river bank, and not showing the faintest trace of nervousness— was led through the aisle between Deputies Knight and Coleman, the crowd serged and pushed to get a better sight of nim, and threats grew from mutterings to menaces; buthe flinched not a whit, and stood before Justices Dwyer and Huntington as unconcernedly as if he had been onthe bench and they inthe dock. His eyes roamed a moment over the crowd, and I saw his lips move into a half sneering smile. To the formal question he pleaded not guilty, and then told of the killing of the Coleman boys. This was delivered in a conversational tone, as if it were a recital of the most ordinary. adventure; and I could see, as the story pro- gressed, that the spectators were edging nearer and nearer to him. He had scarcely finished— indeed, I am inclined to think he was about to ie the story—when, with a growl like wild beasts, a dozen men gprang on him. Wo- men shrieked as the melee grew greater. and it was impossible to tell, for a moment, just what was being done. The officers made resistance, but not a very determined one; and in less than. a minute the prisoner was dragged through the yelling crowd to the door. A rope bad made its appearance as if by magic, and when he reached the outer door the noose was round his neck. I caught one glimpse of his face as he was going down the stairs. It was pale as marble, but his eyes glared defiance, and every look betokened the agonizing wish: f Thad but my Winchester and a second’s freedom.” But arms and freedom Omnipotence alone could have given him then. The crowd, the initiative having bean taken, was wild with passion. “Hang him,” “Burn him,” “Choke him,” were heard on ali sides, and if’ pity was felt by a sin- gle creature it was not expressed. It takes minutes to write this—it took sec- onds only to reach the tree. The end of the rope was over the projecting bough in an instant, and a shuddering sob went up from the on-look- ers as the body of the desperado was jerked if- to air, a score of willing hands tugging at the other end of the rope. There were a few spas- modic clutches of the ironed hands, the feet were drawn up once or twice, and then the head fell over with that sickening droop familiar to all who have ever witnessed such a death, and all was over. The endofthe rope was made fast, the crowd dispersed in the awesome silence that fell after the deed was done, and the body, so full of muscular energy a moment before, swung to and fro in thecold wind. The body was cut down after hanging avout half an hour, and an inquest was held with the following verdi ‘Came to his death from falling from the court house steps and breaking his neck.” The body was taken in charge by the town authorities and given a decent burial. ——___—_~e.___—__ arey of Carson.

The story is told of a certain Philadelphia gentle- man who discovered this at his cost. It so hap- pened the other day that the dining-room of the club which he frequents was quite full, when a man who chanced to know his particular failing came in very hungry. The walter told the new- comer there was no room at present. Spying our absent-minded friend ‘comfortabl seated and reading the newspaper, a brilliant idea struck the hungry man. “Has Mr. A. dined yet?” he questioned. ‘No, sir,” replied the waiter. “We never mind, take him his bill and tell him he has had hisdinner.” The waiter hesitated a moment, and then ae the situation went over to Mr. A. and handed him his bill. “What is this for?” guoth the poor fellow. “For your dinner, sir.” ‘“‘My dinner—ah! Have I reall hadat?” “Yes, sir.” rejoined the waiter in innocence. “Dear me, an idea I was wait- ing. What a curious mistake.” And with 9 contemplative smile Mr..A. sauntered out of the room, his table for the nse of the genius who bad by his abeent-mindedness, From the N. ¥. World. For the information of those uninitiated in the mysteries of foot-ball a synopsis of the principal rules of play is given below. tee ee kee and they are placed as follows: The k” stands in front of the goal. The “‘half-backs” in front of him, the “quarter-back” still nearer the center and in a position to takethe ball from the “snap-back” to pass it out with his foot from a scrimmage. The six “forwards” stand in the center field and form the line of offence or de- fence in the scrimmages, according to the side haying possession of the ball. The play begins with the kick-off, and a fly-catch of a kicked ball entitles the side to a free kick. When the ball is secured by a fielder and he can. successfully evade the opposing “forwards” or “rushers,” and runs with the ball so as to touch it on the ground back of the goal Iine of the opposing side, he is credited with a “touch-down,” and a majority of “touch-downs” decides the match. In kicking the ball a “drop-kick” 1s a kick of a bounding ball, a ‘‘place-kick” is the kica of a ball held near the ground by a fielder and a “punt” is a kick of a fly-ball. A goal counts as equal to four touch-downs, and it can be obtained from a place-kick follow- ing a touch-down or from afree kick on the field. A “touch-down” gives the side making it the privilege of a ‘try at goal,” or a chance to kick the ball over the goal cross-bar. The terms “‘on side” and “‘off side,” so often heard, refer to players who are either playing legitimately, or are, under the rules, out of play. A fielder is “off side”’—out of play- when he either enters a serimmage from his op- ponents’ side of the fleld orbeing ina scrimmage gets in front of the ball before it is in play, and he is not ‘“‘on side” again until the opposite side has kicked the ball. The ‘touch” refers to the boundary line, and when “the ball crosses the line, either on the fly, the bound or in the hands of a runner, it must be brought back to the spot at which it crossed the line. In case of no goals being kicked, or touch- downs scored, safety touch-downs—when in ex- cess of four—count against the side making them. Thus Harvard was beaten by Yale though neither a goal or touch-down was scored on either side, Harvard losing through making four safety touch-downs to Yale’s non Hiew Bartlett Proposed to the Baro= nesy Burdett-Coutts. The London correspondent of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser writes: By the way, no later ago than Saturday, I was told by a well- known major in the army—a skillful story teller for boys, who has iald down the sword and taken up the pen—certain things in con- nection with the remarkable union of Ashmead Bartlett and Baroness Angela Burdett-Coutts, which, until Saturday, I was quite ignorant of. It seems that Mr. Bartlett was “spoons” on an attractive young lady, whom he most probably would have married had not the Baroness put in a word on her own account and forced the young gentleman’s hand. If the Ba- roness did not make the proposal “in good set terms” she gave the young gentleman to understand that if he made it he would not be refused, and that amounted to the same thing. The proposal was made in a railway carriage. I am informed that in order to hush matters up—in fact, to prevent an action for breach of promise of marriage—a handsome sum of money was paid to the young lady’s family as_a salve for the jilted one’s wounded heart. The names of the parties con- cerned in the transaction are known to me. It is stated that the arrangement, which proceeded comfortably enough up to a certain point,nearly broke down when the discovery was made that the golden ointment had been ‘supplied by the Baroness herself. As far as her ladyship has been able to do_ it she has made over her im- mense fortune to her youthful spouse. Ah, well, let us hope that he reciprocates her extraordin- ary, not to say infatuated, favors. if the pair read the concluding passages of Tennyson's “Princess” together, and endeavor to live up to the ideal set forth there, the result will be as charmingly idyllic as even the Arcadian-minded Baroness could desire. Se Congressional Sportsmen. “Gath,” in Cincinanti Engnirer. Congress has a good many fine shots and ac- tive sportsmen in it. I met.Gen. Hawley yes- terday coming back from Barnegat, where he had been duck-shooting. Congressman McCook has been to Ocean Beach, Maryland, trying to get a shot at the wild geese, of which there were legions, but they kept outside the surf, and it was next to drowning to get at them. Frank Hiscock, candidate for Speaker, is both a good shot and ‘a good fisherman. President Arthur is both a shot anda fisher- man, and follows President Hayes in that re- spect, who hunted all over the Sandusky marshes when a boy, and kept at it until he reached the Presidency. Mr. Hayes, I believe, once joined the cod and mackerel fleet of the Newfoundland banks, and spent a season in that tempestuous and dangerous occupation. Washington was one of the best sportsmen of his day, and raced horses like Gen. Jackson, and shot every description of bird and beast in Virginia. I spent the close of last week on the border of Accomac county, Virginia, which has the name of being the best quail field Jett in the east. The boat going over from Balttmore had fourteen dogs on board, and every description of gun and gunner. There isa wild oat in those two east- ern counties of Virginia which greatly comforts the quail, and makes him defy the hunter to en- joy the good feed. It was a eurious thing there to see wild duck served at the regular hotel meal. Blackhead ducks cost on the spot only half a dollara pair. Ex-Senator Dennis, who lives in that quarter, is very ill with an afiliction of the liver, which has given his face the color of jaundice. ——————— An Advanced Thinker.
