Charles Carterson undertook to lay in a supply of clothing for cold weather yesterday at the Model clothing store. He had nippod a coat that hung outside the store and was just tuckiug it under his coat, when one of ‘the clerks who had been watching the operation collared him. Tho two grappled, and Car son was thrown down. He showed fight, however, and but for the timely appearance of Oficer Kelly acd Cuptain Clough he would huve goiten the better of the clerk or huve gotten away en- tirely. Kelly and Clough marched him to the station whero for ten miuutes at a streteh he delivered a most olood curdling volley of profamity aund obsceuity promising to kill = the clerk who had caught him as soon as he was released. But for the prompt interference of the ofticers he would probably have made a stagger at it oven within the confines of the marshal’s office. He was finally landed safely ih the steel cell, where ho devoted the rest of tae day to the manufacture of wild Zulu-like yells that disturbed the wholo neighborhicod. After ho had cooled down somewhat, though mot entirely, he was taken before Justice Ham- mer, where ho offered to plead guilly to anything if the justice would only let him go to Chicago, where ho had a sick mother who was pining for her boy.

He climbed upon the nandrail and was at work remedying the defect when the heavy wind that was blow- ing caused tho towor to give o lurch, and his foot slipped. He shot downwards, and had given himself up for lost, when he suadenly stcpped, and found his arm fad caught upon the rail upon which he had been standing.

Hobbs, one of the retired manufacturers ot Bridge- port, Chan., died on the 6th inst., after an illness of six months, He was born in Boston on October 7, 1812, When 13 years oid he secured work in a lary lockmaking concern in Now York. While there he invented a lock which was superior to any other in use, and picked all locks of competitors which were brought to him. Ie became ac- quainted with Day & Newell, the bank lockmakers, and took entire charge of selling their locks. It became neces- sary to prove to bankers that tho locks they were using were not secure, and, therefore, he made a set of fine tools, by the use of which ho opened their vaults and sofes. His first call was at a bank in ford. They had in use a padlock which was considered absolutely safe. It held an iron strap over the keyhole of an Andrews bank lock, which had cost the bank $150. In addition they had a warded lock, making three locks, any of which was believed to bo quite secure. After a long appeal to the directors it was decided that if the locks on the out- § de door and the vault could be opened in two hours without injuring the locks they would purchase & new one. Mr. Hobbs opened all four locks in twenty- three minutes. Hobbs visited nearly all the banks in the United States. In 1848 he saw a re- ward of 3500 offered by Mr. Woodbridge of Perth Amboy to any one who weuld open a lock just put on a safe in the Merchants’ change reading room in New York. IHobbs went to New York and had thirty days in which to open the safe, within which had been placed a check for $500. He opened 1t the next morning and secured the $500. In April, 1851, Hobbs went to London to examine a wonderful lock made by Braham. There was a standing offer of 200 guinoas to any one who would be able to open it without the key. A committee was appointed, long articles were pub- lished in the newspapers, and the trial began. It took Mr. Hobbs fifty-one hours to pick the lock, and there was a cqm- plete overthrow of the locks in general use in Engluand. ‘Willinm Brown of Liverpool was the inventor of a later lock which was used CRACKER. Stam- on the safe of Brown, Shipley & Co., bankers, and in order to open it the let- ters of a word were seleeted from a dial on the door. Mr. Hobbs called at th bank and had an interview with Mr Brown, who locked the safe and then smd it was impossible to open it without knowing the combination. While con- versing with Mr. Brown, Hobbs stood with his back to the dial and with one hand behind him unlocked the safe and pronounced the lock worthless. Hobbs began lock-making for himself in Cheapside, London, and in time tho business grew enormously. In 1860 he came to New Yorlk, but retained his in- terest in the firm of Hobbs, Hart & Co, In 6 he was placed in charge of tho Union Metallic Cartridge Works, at Bridgeport, Coun. ——— Smoked Whi'e Sleeping. “Talk about the cigarette habit,” said a clerk at the Seventh Avenue to w Pitts- burg Dispatch man, *‘the worst c I everstruci us thut of a man who drifted into the hotel lust week. He anticipated fashion, and appeared in what may be the custom twenty-five years from now, it loudness of dri continues as it has during the last three or four years.

I supposed, of course, that he took a rest when slee ing, but evidently he didn’t, for ono morning about 3 o’clock the bell in his room rang; the porter went up, and when he cume down he conveyed a mes- 1ze from his dudelets to the effect that if u package of cigarettes wero not sent up at once a corpse would be waiting for a claimant in the morning.

DISTANCE T knov LONG EPHONING. Wonderfal Progress in That Branch of Klectrical 8¢ The history of the telophono record of epochs, says the New York ilerald. Each epoch marks the limita- tion in the power and efliciency of the tment, and at the samo time the starting places in its triumphal is o st telephone was for short dis- After Reise, who is_really the ather of the telephone, and Bell démon- strated the possibility of the electrical transmission of speech, long distance telephoning became the dream of scien- tists and inventors. When the telephone left the hundsof Bell its voico was weuk. The microphone transmitter had to be invented, and the induction coil and other important accessory devices had to be brought into requisition. 1t was only after the telephone had attained its natural growth by assimi lating these necessary elements that tho higher development, tending to make its voice stronger and far reaching, began, At first it was a successive im- provement made in the tyansmitter and reccivers in ordinary use that enabled longer distance transmission. FIRST LONG DISTANCE PHOY Earliest in the field of long distance telephoning was Mr. Gillett of Mich- igan. Then followed Hunning of Eng- ind, and after him Adar of Irance. Gillett produced the only practical long distance transmitter, Hunning’s requ ing “shaking down™ at short intervals and Adair's being very loud but indis- tinct. Powdered carbon is the baso element of all these telephones, and, i i the only means by which long distanco telephoning can be accomplished. The first experiment made by Mr. Gillett in long distanco telephoning was over the of the Michigan Central railroad, early in 1877, from Dotroit to Jackson, sovonty miles. Up to that timo the fur- thest distance of transmission was twenty miles. The instrument used on that oceasion was very simple inconstruction, consisting essentially of the diaphragm and arm supporting the eylinder filled with powdered carbon, through which the electric current passes. In_subsequent experiments it found that by placing two pointsor mitters on the sume diaphragm, speech could be transmitted double the distance with one point or transmitter. Having ascortained this Mr.Gillett constructed a *quadruplex,” or four point transmitter. ‘With this instrument successful tele- phoning was made between this city and Meadville, Pa., a distance of 3500 miles. The telephoning over the Postal Telegraph company’s wires early in the spring of 1884, The utteranc were as uudible as in previous experi- ments of shorter distances, After this successfui demonstration a ten point transmitter wus constructed and tests made of its efliciency between this cit, nd Chicago, a distance of 1,000 miles. The result gave the most complete satisfaction. This is called the *‘multiplex system.” OCEANIC TELEPHONY! Gillett turned his attention to ocean cable work, and a transmitter having twenty poiuts, or a ‘‘double header,” was constructed. It di tance capacity wus believed to b 3,500 miles. Cable companies were un- willing to have the test made, claiming that no such distance could be made by a telephone. Thus far the world has been shut out from oceanic telephone transmission, but it is predicted that this state of affair- will soon cease to exist, and New Yorkers will have tele- phone communication with people in Lov.don and Paris, and in fact any city on the continent. This belief is strengthened by the fact that under the direction of the minister of telegraph in Paris the Gillett tele- phone was tested on the cable between Dover and Calais. The tick of a watch was heard with perf dis On_the heels of this success followed the recent build- ing of the London-Paris telephone line. Itis claimed that in Mr. Gillett’s instru- ment each point of the dinphragm will operate throuch 5,000 miles, and that through its use distances will be virtu- ally eliminated. By the majority of electrical authori- ties'it is alleged that it is impossible to telephone neross an ocean cable, not only on account of the great distance to be spanned, but also on account of *‘re- tardation.”” It is asserted by Mr. Gillett that this is not so, and thut telephoning is as practicable over oceanic cables us on land lines of wire.
