When the phonograph was invented by Mr. Edison, says the New York Morning Journal, we fancied that we had at last discovered some- thing new under the sun. “Surely,” we said, “the phonograph at least is new." We imagined that nothing Jike it had ever been dreamed of before. But there is where we were wrong again. Something almost ex- actly like it was invented when Edison was barely out of his cradle and more or less dim Premonitions of the modern marvel haunted the minds of men centuries ago. In the year 1859 the famous Abbe Migne read paper before the British Association, de- scribing an instrument called a phonauto- graph, which had but a short time pefore been invented by @ young Frenchman, M. E. L. a quotation from the abbe’s paper found in the transactions of the British Association for the year mentioned above: “The phonautograph consists of a» tube enlarged at one end in the same man- ner as atrumpet, in order to concentrate the sounds which are conveyed through ittoathin membrane tightly strained over other end of the instrument. This mem- brane carries affixed to it an excessively light lus or pencil, which is put in motion by every vibration produced by the action of the voice upon the membrane. “Behind this stylus isa band of [sar covered with ped pay) which is unrolled by clock- work, and as this band part along the point of the stylus, traces are left in the lampblack of all the curvilinear and rectilinear movements orig- nating in the vibrations of the membrane, thus producing in its own peculiar charactersa faith- ful reproduction of the sounds.” ‘This instrument was still in the rough. how- ever, and the abbe went on to explain that while it was fairly successful with musical sounds, the human voice presented certain difficulties. Nevertheless he had little doubt that eventually the phonautograph would reg- ister for future generations not only the words, but the tones of famous actors and orators. e+ ——____ FLYING TO THE NORTH The following is and may be Prof. Newton’s Account of the Meteor That Exploded in Maine. From the Hartford Courant. The brilliant meteor which wasrecently beard to explode with tremendous noise in many places in Maine appears to have been moving northward, nearly over Portland, Me., perhaps from as far south as Boston, and to have disap- peared some miles above the surface of the earth over the middle or northern parts of Franklin county, Me., says Prof. Newton of Yale. Sofar as known, no stones have been se cured from the meteor. If thisis the true path, the body entered the air witha tremendous velocity. The earth was at that time moving eighteen miles second, directly toward the point from which the meteor was coming. ‘According to accepted theories the meteor was moving faster than the carth, and the stone entered the air with the sum of the two veloci- This makes a velocity of more than forty miles a second. In most of the cases whe stones have been secured the velocities ba Deen not more than twenty miles a second. In one instance, however, in Stannem, Moravia, there were’ secured a large number of stones from a meteor whose velocity was as great as that of the meteor of February 23. apenas The Suburban Resident. From the Boston Post. Ihave often made fan in a mild, good-hu- mored way of the queer assortment of packages that my suburban friends are constrained to carry home with them, especially of a Saturday afternoon. But nothing in this line that I have ever heard of quite equals the burden that went out on the Providence road last week, attached more or less directly to the person of a well- known dealer in pastimes and futurities. It consisted mainly (omitting such trifles as could be stuffed int® the capacious pockets of a big overcont) of the following articles: ‘A live rooster in a basket. A boiled lobster. A saddle and a bridle. ‘The rooster was so large, and the saddle so smaall, being intended, 1 suppose, for racing parpores, think the former might have worn the latter without inconvenience, and if, in addition, my acquaintance had taken the trouble to feed the lobster to the rooster along the way, he might, ct the end of the journey have mounted the bird (thus fortified) and ridden home in triumph, instead of arriving there in the capscity himself of « beast of jurdén. ‘Wineless Dinnerv and a Bishop.

EMANCIPATION ‘LEBRATION, Prize Essays to Be Written by Public School Pupils—John M. Langston the Orator. A large meeting of the committee of arrange- ments for the twenty-ninth anniversary of the emancipation of slaves in the District of Colum- bia met at the office of the Zee last evening, with C. H. Watson in the chair and W. H. Jones secretary. Mr. Chase said that he had secured the permit from the District Commissioners for the grand stand to be erected at Lincoln Park April 16. The trustees of the public schools and Super- intendent George F. V.

E. Cahill. The medals will be on exhibition at the Bee office week after next. Prof. J. W. Cromwell of the Garnett schools wrote to the committee as his school is to com- pete for one of the medals he would prefer not to be on the committee, and after some discus- sion it was decided to appoint a new committee, Mr. Chase said that Superintedent Cook had ed how the essayw should be marked, #0 ery one would be satisfied. Not even the committee will know who the successful competitors will be. Mr. Chase appointed. the following to pass on the essays:. Rev. F. J. Grimkie, Rev. J. F. Stewart, Rev. Dr. Bowen, Mra. John K. Lynch, E. M. Hewlett and Rev. Wm. Waring. Mr. Chase offered a resolution, which was unanimously adopted, that the appointment of Capt. James A. Perry’ by Gen, + Ordway meets the hearty approval of this committee and all good citizens whoare not applicants for the place. secretary was directed to inform the managers of the Home for Destitute Girls to appoint a committee of five persons to work in conjunction with the committee of arrange- ments.

STOPPING NATURAL DRAINAGE WAYS. ‘The District is constantly put to great incon- venience from the fact that it has been decided that parties can stop up natural drainage lines. Recently the computing engineer reported to Capt. Rosell the presence of a pond of water in Erie street, flooding. the lots on the. north side. ‘The surface drainage of a considerable area flows across these lots und formerly found an outlet at the culvert crossing 16th street on the line of Superior street, which was built ex- prossly for that purpose. “This outlet hus been cut off by the filling of the lots on the south- east corner of 16th and Erie streets, and now something must be done. In his indorsement upon the case Capt. Ros- says on expenditure of €220 is necessary to make the place safe, and recommends that the superintendent of roads be directed to lay the pipe and pay the expense out of the appropri- ation for “repairs to county roads.” In con- clusion Capt. Rossell says: “I do this with great reluctance, us it certainly seems to me to beunjust to the District to permit private owners to stop up natural drainage lines." ‘The Commissioners, approving the recom- mendatiog, have ordered the work to be done. CONTRACTS FOR LAYING SIDEWALKS. Cyrus A. Baker has been awarded a contract for laying sidewalks on the east side of 22d street extended between Detroit and Emporia streets, and on the west side of 24th street e: tended between Detroit and Emporia streets, on the north side of Detroit street between 22d and 24th streets, and on the north side of Em- poria street between 22d and 24th streets.

BE SPEAKS OF THE CONSTANT AND AGGRAVATING INSULTS AND ASSAULTS PRACTICED BY TAUL- BEE FOR TWO YEARS PRIOR TO THE TRAGEDY— MANY QUESTIONS RULED OUT BY THE JUDGE. In anticipation of the opening of the defense in the Kincaid case today the Criminal Court room was filled with spectators. Ex-Senator Spooner, Gov. McCreary and numbers of Ken- tucky statesmen were present. There were also a large number of news- Paper men, friends of Kincaid, on hand and several ladies. With Kincaid sat two ladies, one of whom was his sister. She seemed deeply interested in the proceedings. The government closed its case soon after the morning session opened and Gen. Grosvenor opened the case for Kincaid, stating very plainly that Kincaid relied on the plea of self- defense. The prospects of the case are already being discussed with interest. The case is being both prosecuted and de fended with unusual vigor and ability. DR. CLARENCE B. 8. ADAMS. When the trial was resumed this morning Dr. Clarence B. S. Adams was recalled by Dis- trict Attorney Cole and examined as to Taul- bee's condition when be attended bim just after the shooting at the Capitol. Hesaw Taul- bee go into the small room from the hall. The witness went in there. He did not examine the wound but devoted his efforts at first to stop- fing ,the hemorrhage, Taulbee's face was urned with powder. Witness remained with him and went with him to Taulbee’s lodgings in a carriage. lid not see any revolver or weapon about Taulbee’s person. On cross- examination the witness said he did not exam- ine Taulbee’s clothing to see whether he had a — nor did he see such an examination made. DB. W. B, HUGHES. Dr. W. B. Hughes, who also attended Taulbee, ‘at the Capitol, was called and testified also that Taulbee’s face was burned with powder. He said he saw Taulbee when he came down the stairs after he was shot. Taulbee then had no Weapon in hishand. He did not see any weapon in Taulbee’s possession after it. He went with ‘Tanlbee in the carriage to his lodgings. On cross-examination witness said he made no examination to see whether Taulbee had a weapon and did not recollect whether Taulbee's clothing was removed in witness’ presence or not. DR. J. W. BAYNE AGAIN. Dr. John W. Bayne, who was called to see Taulbee at his lodgings after Taulbee’s arrival there, said he thought Taulbee’s coat had then been removed. The witness remained with Taulbee until after he had been taken to the hospital. There Taulbee’s clothing was removed, the witness assisting. He saw no weapon nbout Taulbee at all. The witness said on cross-examination that Dr. Friederich and Mr. Donaldson were present when he arrived at Taulbee’s lodgings at 3d and East Capitol streets. Witness best recollection was that Taulbee's coat had been removed at that time. SAM DONALDSON RECALLED. Mr. Sam Donaldson was then recalled by the district attorney. He said he firstsaw Taulbee after he separated from him after the shooting at Taulbee’s lodgings, 34 and East Capitol streets. That was about half an hour after the shooting. Witness went there with Representa- tive McMillin. Represeutatives Stone and Martin, Drs. Bayne, Adams and Hughes and others were present. ‘Lhe witness remained there until Taulbee was removed to the hos- ital. Taulbee's coat had been removed when saw him at his lodgings. Witness went to the hospital and assisted Taulbee up the steps and was present when his clothing was re- moved. Ho mw no weapon in Tuulbee's pos- session. On cross-examination by Gen. Grosvenor the witness aaid that he was not aware of any search being made of Tuulbee’s clothing to see whether he had a weapon. The witness said he knew Frank P. Morgan, a journalist or news- paper correspondent. A SIGNIFICANT QUESTION. Gen. Grosvenor asked witness if he did not Temember an occasion about two weeks before ‘the shooting that witnessand Taulbee were to- gether on the floor of the House with Frank Morgan and that witness looked up to the press gallery where Kincaid was engaged and said to Taulbee, “You onght to go up there and cut the d— rascal’s guts out,” or words of that character, and that he went at once with Taul- bee to the press gallery to search for Kincaid. The district attorney objected that what Donaldson might have said had no relevancy whatever. Mr. Wilson urged that they had a right to show, in order to enable proper weight to be given to this witness’ testimony, that two weeks before the shooting he had been advis- ing Taulbee to kill Kincaid. Gen. Grosvenor urged that the testimony was admissible, not only as bearing on the state of ‘Taulbee's mind, but also as showing that the witness was biased. ‘The court admitted the question simply on the ground that it tended to show the bias asa witness. THE WITNESS’ DENIAL. When the question was repeated the witness said: “That I may have met Morgan in the presence of Taulbce on the floor of the House two weeks before the shooting is very probable; that Lever made use of such remarks as you have indicated, in Taulbee's presence or any- where elec, I deny; that I ever went into the reas gallery with Mr. Taulbee seeking Mr. Kjncaid L deny.” (QUESTIONS RULED ovr.

The witness was asked if he or Tuulbee had not used expres- sious of ill-will toward Kincaid in the presence of Heath orof Mann, but the question was ruled out, as likewise was’ one as to whether Taal- bee’ had not then in the witness’ presence threatened to kill Kineaid. ‘The witness was then asked a number of | him nestions which he did not answer, as objec- done were made-and sustained and noted. ‘These questi ‘When the witness left the stand Mr. Cole re- objection wero not permitted and Mr. Cole thet tho ceewers woekd be Seve wo should be now made | with splendid physigue, with a magnificent voice: & pleasant an ble man to his friends. " At the clow of his term in Congress he remained in Washington, engaged in some Dusiness. He would make no aspersions against the character of that business. KINCAID'S CAREER. Kincaid was thirty-five years old; a native of Kentucky. He had studied law and been Judge of an inferior court; he bad pursued an honorable career: bad borne the character of @ Peaccable, law-abiding citizen; be was a news- Paper man and as such his reputation was of the highest character and bi best. During the Fiftieth Congress, in which Taulbee sat, unpleasant relations sprang up be- tween the two men, an unpleasantness of the bitterest and most deadly character on the part of Taulbee. Prior to the happening of this tragedy Kincaid was a complete physical wreck. For two or more years before the tragedy he was a physical wreck. MIS PRYSICAL WEAKXESS. His physical weakness was such as to affect the accuracy of his judgment. He had suf- fered a long attack of typhoid fever and hov- ered for s long while on the verge of eternit; He had been born with a defect of vision—an astigmatism. Kincaid’s recovery from this at- dertook a sea yorage and_ in thet voyage was ‘again prostrated. “He was taken to a hospital in Glasgow, where a number of operations were performed. It wasa wonder that he es- caped from that peril with any remnant of his physical constitution left. Following this was an attack of his eyes. He had to be confined ina dark room and to submit to treatment. He was compelied to work for a living and be- e to apply bimrelf under these difficulties to is Vocation asa newspaper man. While this was going on the diiculty between himself and Taulbee was co: TAULBEE’S agoua’ The evidence would show Taulbee constantly and everywhere, under the most aggravating circumstances, assaulting and insulting this almost helpless man. They would find Kineaid cowering, apologizing, attempting to lessen these insults. Not long before this shooting Kincaid, finding himself in Tuulbee's presence, was thrown violently headlong from behind across the corridor. At another time Taulbee, meeting him ina narrow passage, seized him ond thrust him with his powerful arm against an iron grating. He shrunk away, fleeing and shrinking from this peril to his On an- other occasion in an elevator,meeting Taulbee, bis foot was ground and crunched beneath the giant's heel until he almost screamed with pain, but he dared not resist, WAS TOLD TAULBER HAD SWORN TO KILL HIM. He was informed that Taublee had sworn a solemn oath that he would kill Kincaid; that the earth wasnot wide enough for “that wretch” and himself. These ontrages were repeated and constant. He heard of Taulbee’s seeking him in the press gallery two weeks before this shooting, threatening ‘to kill him. He stra; gled on’ against sickness, against poverty, against the mountain of ineffable diagrace that he felt was being heapcd upon him. He had gone to his brother newspaper men with tears in his eyes and said he onty asked that this mat- ter be kept from his aged =o was al- most dying. Taulbee pursued his|course until Kincaid concluded that it was Tgulbee's pur- pore to provoke from him some thovemeut of Tesistauce or some aggressive movement and then to kill him. THE DAY OF THE TRAGEDT. Gen. Grosvenor, using a cane as @ pointer, then described to the jury, with the aid of the diagram, the relative location of different points around the scene of the shooting. He said somewhere in the neighborhood of | 12 o'clock Kincaid went to the Capitol, and in | the pursuit of his business appearcd at the east | door of the House. He seut ior a Congress- | man and was waiting at the door for informa- tion. While waiting there Taulbce came out throngh thedoor. Ithad been only a few hours before that that one of the most serious of | the threats of Taulbee hed been communicated | to Kincaid. Taulbee confronted Kinesid and spoke to him in a rude, angry and insulting manner, and Kincaid “shrank j away from him Taulbee seized by ‘the shoulder, jerking him, and then pulled bis ear. On all occasions where an as- sanlt was made by Taulbee on Kincai it was done with his left hand, while his right was held | at hiy hip. This would be important. Kincaid | told Taulbee he was unarmed. They would show that Taulbee said ina hissing ‘manner, “You bad better be armed” or “Go and arm | Fpuerelf then.” Twulbee went into the House. ey would show that within fifteen minutes of that time Taulbee made toa member of Con- gress one of the most deadly of all his threats. At that time Kincaid had no arms, not even # cane or en umbrella. Kincaid «id go away and did come back to inquire of the doorkeepers if they had witnessed Taulbee's assault. He made this inquiry because the matter had been cir- culated in the press gallery; that the matter had gone out to the afternoon press. KINCAID WENT ABOUT HIS BUSINESS. In the meantime Mr. Kincaid had gone to have an interview in pursuit of his business with a Mr. Walton, who was engaged in Gov. Me committee room. Mr. Walton had some pressing business at the moment and told Kincaid that he would meet him shortly in the corridor near the east door of the House. So Kincaid finally went to that entrance, again spoke to the doorkeepers and hurried away. je was misled by mistaking through his de- fective vision some other person for Mr. Walton. They would show it was not true that he had gone directly down the stairway. The fact was there was a considerable lapee of time. Kincaid bad not had breakfast. He concluded to go down those steps to lunch. Taulbee bad gone into the House after the meeting with Kincaid. He had gone in flushed with the triumph be had uchieved over this helpless man. He came out of the House and his appearance in the corridor. He was joined by Donaldson and descended the stope- They did not go down those steps immediately. ‘There were a few points he desired to make i ive. First. that Kincaid did mot see bee and Donaldson in the corridor; second, that he did not go down the steps immediately, and third, that Laulbee and Donaldson did not down the ste; at once. They would show \dson were seen ‘They would leave it to the jury to say what Taulbee, who knew Kincaid was ‘in the corri- dor and was likely to come down the steps, was waiting there for. en Ki began he had no knowledge that Taulbee was there. During the intermission of an hour and @ half frca made on on ‘TRE FATAL snot. Kincaid came suddenly on Taulbee. A dim light was burning; the place was almost as dark asaceliar. Kincaid saw Taulbee and at the same instant Twulbee saw Kincaid. It would be demonstrated that ri! bee i z ‘3 E | | i Hf 8 & F i il i iy ! i { E i | & | i | E i | !

He did nos deny a what was attributed to him, but had no lection of « conversation with or seeing eithe? of the two men named. He did not know Mi* ler or Splain well at that time. $ 2. ALES F.

Whi Witness whether bh on of the thag it was © suid it might appear that the seokdent d that tue matter of Kin- caid’s physical condition was material and im- portant. Judge Bradley said he had not indicated th he would not mony as to Kincaid’s "| ey @ time of the shooting. € je had questioned only the propriety of se prop gong KINCAID's ViRUAL DEvNCcT. Ri Mr. Wilson said the testimony was relevant } as showing Kincaid’s condition at thi the shooting. They proposed, be said, lieved they had a right to show, that Kincaid z Was born with a defect of vision—that his eyes § focused together. Judge Bradley said all people's eyes focused ‘ther. Mr. Wilson having remarked that Mr. Kin # caid’s visual defect was peculiar Judge Bradley remarked, “I suppose nine people out of ten“) have astigimatista. Mr. Wilson read a case from Wharton to sus- tain bis position that the physical condition and the disparity between the two men were to $) be considered. “This, he said, was a question of self-defense. The di dant, they would claim, was in fear of Joss of life or of enormous bodily harm. They liad a right to show the disparity the two men and to show Kin- dition. ” interposed Judge Bradley. Ir. Wilson, in the course of his argument, said he would insi-t that they could go back to the birth of the prisoner. “And take in all his infantile diseases?” im- quired the court. Bir. Wilson said he did not propose to com- mit any such absurdity as that. Mr. Wilson said they proposed to go into the matter of the physical condition of this man for a series of years prior to this occurrence. § He argued ut some length on tiie point.

Mr. Grosvenor noted en exception to each sentence in the declaration offered Judge Wilson asked to be permitted it ex-lepreseutative Lhompsou on the stand to rove that Mr. Taulbee, after the “dying laration” was made, had expressed the belief that be would recover.
