A New Invention,.

Mr. E. G. Waters and Mr. It. G. Sweeney, one «of the Vandalia telegraph men, have jointly invented an instrument which bids fair to prove an^iniportant addition to the already long list of electrical contrivances. It is a switchboard, so constructed that it can_ accommodate almost any number of lines, and dispense with all sounders, local batteries and keys except one. One line is provided with the regular outfit of key, relay and sounder, and each of the other lines is provided with a small and inexpensive box relay. The sounder and key are put in connection with any line bv turning a small metal hand. The instrument is now being tested in the office of the superintendent of telegraph of the Vandalia line, Colonel Woolsey having five wires connected, and is by him pronounced a complete success.

A Question of Right of Way.

Special Dispatoh to the Globe-Democrat BEAZIL, Ind., April 2.—Judge Bicknell, of Washington, Ind., recently decided that on the abandonment of the Wabash and Erie canal the tow- path reverted to its original owners, and that its transfer by purchase to the Evansville A Indianapolis Railroad company by D. J. Mackey did not convey title. The roal referred to uses the tow-path as a roadbed from Worthington to Evansville, 100 miles. A Daviess county farmer, through whose land the towpath runs, brought suit to enjoin the running of trains on his premises, right of way not having been purchased of him. Hence the decision. A limited time was allowed the railroad company in which to appeal to the Supreme court. The company failed to appeal, but began suit in Daviess Circuit court to have condemned the land belonging to the farmer in whose favor Judge Bicknell decided. As farmers all along the line are similarly interested, and are beginning to institute suits of a like character, the railroad company, it seems, must face the question of right of way, a matter involving several thousands of dollars.

Cannot Speak Too Highly of M. I. S. T.

I deem it a pleasure to bear testimony to the great merits of M. I. S. T. I was under the treatment of four skill physicians of the city for over ay ear, but did not in that time receive any benefit whatever. My tronble, a terrible disease of the liver and kidneys waa so bad that I eon Id soaroely help myself at all. My head and body were greatly swollen and I Buffered so much that life was a burden. I commenced to take M. I. S. T., and the first night after using it I slept better than I had for a year. It was but a few weeks when the change for the better was very noticable and my former good health has been entirely restored. I cannot speak too highly of this valuable remedy. MBS.

A man is not estimated by the coat he wears, but by the character he bears, and he is weighed in the balance of true manhood." In speaking of labor and capital, Mr. Debs said: "Labor and capital must go hand, in hand. Capital should give a fair day's wages for a fair day's work, and labor should give an honest day's work for an honest day's wages.

Obituary.

The Daily Visitor of Winfield, Kanses, March 23d, has the following: Died—At her home on Manning street, Winfield, Kansas, Mrs. Lavina A., wile of John A. Park, Sunday, 2 o'clock. Mrs. Park was born in Terre Haate, Ind., Jana&ry 29, 1840, and was at the time of her death 46 years, 1 month and 22 days old. April 2,1862, she was married to John A. Fark, in the city of her birth. She was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Chadwick, of Terre Haute, Indiana. She leaves her husband and six children, two little ones having gone to the better life before her. At the age of 18, she united with the M. E. church. Since that time those who knew her best say that her life has been a living witness for her Savior. She longed for the time of her departure to draw near. She sleeps with Jesus. Blessed sleep. The funeral sermon was preached yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, by the Rev. J. H. Beider, at the residence of the family.

Mr. David Bippetoe, well known to all the old citizens of Vigo county, died at the residence of Mr. John Broadhurst, in Sugar Creek township, last Wednesday, and was buried Friday at Pisgot graveyard. Uncle Davy, as every one knew him, spent a portion of his time in this city, and the remainder with relatives in the vicinity of Sanford. He was on his way from the city to Sanford, when he was taken ill and compelled to stop at Mr. Broadhurst. He was 77 years old, and was one of the old settlers of the county. ..

Bradatreet*a Review.

NEW YORK, N. Y., April 3.—Special telegrams to Bradstreet's report a less satisfactory condition of general trade than last week, due,, in large part, to the continuation of strikes at various industrial centers, as well as to the interruption to railway traffic in the southwest. The floods in central, southern and western states have helped to depress trade through the destruction of bridges and the overflowing of the country roads. At the large eastern cities the volume of merchandise moving is of only moderate proportions. At western centers the demands are quite in general. It may be stated that the progress made thus far during 1886 has been disappointing, though at Chicago and some other cities the total sales of staple goods for the first quarter of 1886 are said to fully equal those of the first quarter of 1885. Money is in only fair demand at most points, and the markets rule easy at unchanged prices.

MANNING'S ALB^

IJttJe OSes Where che Cleveland "Boom" was Started. ALBAJBT, N. Y.r April 3.—Daniel Manning's serious illness naturally has recalled him vividly to the minds of the people in this city, where he lived so long. When he departed for Washington a year ago there were few men in Albany who were so universally known politics and journalism had brought him ih contact with thousands. He was a methodical man. Every week day one could meet him at ascertain moment on the State street hill walking down to his dingy little office in the Argus building, and on Sunday in Lancaster street, on his way to St Paul's Protestant Episcopal church.

The office ih the Argus building would instantly arouse a suspicion that it was inhabited by some oj\fc profoundly interested in politics, for upon the walls there hung the portraits of demigods of the democratic party—Samuel J. Tilden, Winfield Scott Hancock, John T. Hoff man, Edwin Croswall, William Cassidv and Peter Cagger. Mr. Manning, al though an excellent business man, was indeed deeply interested in politics. His little room had witnes ed many a secret conference of the chiefs of the democratic party. Here it was that the Cleveland "boom" was born. Edgar K. Apgar one day called upon Daniel S. Lamont, then managing editor of the Argns, and fonnd him scissoring press extracts. "Dan." said he, "whomdoyoa think we had better ran for governor this fall?" Mr. Lamont laid down his scissors and said carelessly: "Well, I am beginning to think we had better take up this Buffalo man, Cleveland." Mr. Apgar knew that Lamont never talked thns without some inspiration. He went below stain to find Mr. Manning and sound him on the same subject. Mr. Apgar, as he had expected, found Mr. Manning also leaning toward Mr. Cleveland. Another prominent democratic politician strolled in, and, joining in the conversation, said: "I hear that Cleveland is on friendly terms with Tammany Hall. Would it be safe, therefore, to nominate him?" Mr,"" plied about know how he stands with Tammany but I do know this—that, if elected governor, in less than six months after his inanguration he will quarrel with John Kelly. He can't help doing so. I guess we can safely take him if we want him." Mr. Manning's prediction was fulfilled in less than six months Governer Cleveland did quarrel with Mr. Kelly the Tammany senators "hung up" Cleveland's nominations, and there was a breach between Cleveland and the Tammany organization which nearly cost him his election as president.

Mr. Manning's greatest political triumph was the nomination of Cleveland tor president. It was hot until late in the spring of 1884 that Mr. Cleveland's consent to become a candidate for the nomination was obtained. In the meanwhile, Boswell P. Flower, the Tammany Hall organization and other opponents.of Mr. Cleveland had nearly gained control of the democratic state convention in New York. It was foreseen by Cleveland's rivals outside of :New York that if he lost the delegation from his' own state, or if there was serious opposition made in the convention to his nomination for president, their own chances of being nominated would be increased. They fomented discord. Mr. Manning by a great effort suppressed all outward manifestation of opposition to Cleveland in the convention, boldly left the Naw York delegation "unpledged" to Cleveland, and went to Chicago apparently with little backing. But in tne interval between the state convention and the national conven

delegates, bonnd the others to Cleveland by "the unit rule," and, aa all know, nominated Cleveland.for president.

There was one triumph at the national democratic convention more pleasant to Mr. Manning evtefc than the nomination of Mr. Cleveland. He said to the writer the day after the convention adjourned: "There are some compensations for the hard work even of such a convention as this, and people little thinks what they ask when they request a business man to leave his home and office and engage in such a terrific struggle as we have had for a week past What pleased me is this—that the Indiana delegation played fast and loose with us all through the convention. At heart they were for McDonald, but they promised again and again they would aid us. Well, they hung ofi till we didn't need their help and we nominated Cleveland without them. Then we turned about, stampeded the convention for Hendricks for vice president and thrust him down their throats. That was very pleasant I hope the^ Indiana delegation is satisfied.". 11

THE TELEPHONE MATTER.

Another Statesman on the Stand—The Lawyer*' Fee*. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 3.—Indian Commissioner Atkins was examined by the telephone investigating committee to-day, and rehearsed the story of the Pan Electric organization as heretofore related. Mr. Eden asked if the witness had ever nsed his official connection to further the interests of the Pan Electric Co. "None on the face of God Almighty's earth," said the witness, slapping energetically the back of the chair upon which he leaned, and "no man can look me in the face and say so. I would cut my hand ofi at the wrist before I would do such a thing." The witness was asked if he had said anything to Mr. Garland since the beginning of the proceedings at the departments. He replied that after Secretary Lamar's final decision he had called to see Mr. Garland, and asked if in his opinion he (witness) should mention his connection with the Pan Electric to Secretary Lamar, and Mr. Garland had replied that it would be a very good thing to do, and witness had thereupon informed the secretary. Secretary Lamar had replied that he could see nothing that witness had done that was essentially wrong, and he could attend to his official duties. The witness said that he knew nothing of the bringing of the government suit. He felt greatly outraged, he Baid, by the newsaper publications to the effect that he ad been chairman of the appropriation committee when the company had been organized. In this connection the, witness denounced in most emphatic terms some articles which had appeared in the New York world.

Acting Attorney General Goode has returned the bills of Jeff Chandler, Eppa Hunton and Charles H. Whitman of special counsel to assist'faMfefe'prosecution of the suit against the Bell Telephone company to the first comptroller of the treasury with a statement that the amount called for ($1,000,. for each) is in accordance with a contract regularly executed and is for services already rendered. The first comptroller has accordingly passed the bits and they have been paid. It is said that the compensation agreed on nnder the contract referred to is $5,000 for the firm of Hunton A Chandler and $3,000 for Mr. Whitman. The bills of Judge Thnrman and Judge Lowerv, the principal government counsel in the case have not been rendered.

Various processes have been brought forward for producing a satisfactory substitute for the ordinary wooden pail, and the most successful effort in this direction

River Notes.

The Cornelia is expected in to day from the north with a cargo of ear eorn for the Nawhart hominy mill.

The Belle of Fountain is at present running regular tripe from Paducah to Cairo, and is having a good trade,

The tonnage of the Crown Point is, gross. 229 tons net, 159% tons. She has a capacity nearly double that of the Belle of Fountain.

The Zaneaville is said to have heen the most rapidly moving boat that ever plied this portion of the Wabash. She was bought at Wheeling, W. Ya., and was piloted through to Terre Haute by Emmet Hall, present steersman of the Crown Point.

The Prairie City was the handsomest and beat famished boat that ever ran into Terre Haute. In 1874 she came into this port from the sooth loaded with green walnut lumber, and on the night of her arrival burnt to the water's edge at her moorings, foot of Walnut street.

Said Commissioner Dickereoa recently: "We shall not make any change in the location of the draw in the county bridge unless the matter is made compulsory. We have had the question nnder advisement for some time and have about concluded to lay it aside indefinitely."

The Borneo, whioh ran into Terre Haute before the memory of most river men now living here, is said to have been the largest and slowest boat that ever worked in the Terre Haute trade. It is said of her, that in one trip from this eity to New Orleans, she foand but one of the many boats she encountered that she ooald pass by hard racing, and that was a fiat-boat. Wee Sohumaker, now a watchman for the Vandalia railroad company, waa her pilot.

Probably the most experieneed pilot—by reason of long servioe—who ever ran on the Wabash river was William F. Hall. He was in active river work on the Wabash for fifty-five years He and "Commodore" Channcy Twaddle made frequent flat-boat trips from this city to New Orleans, and, as a matter of record, Mr. Hallp after selling a boat and cargo at New Orleans, walked from that oity to Terre Haute, being several months en the road. On this remarkable trip he was acoompanied, most of the way,
