** DISCOVERY OF LONG AGO. . The Secret of Talking by Telephone Discovered by Dr. Cushman in 1851. Affidavits Showing that the System Was in Use in the Backwoods of Wisconsin Over Thirty-Five Years Ago. Quite a number of gentlemen called on Dr. Cushman, inventor of the Cushman telephone, at the Bates House yesterday. “I want to make a little prediction," said the Doctor. The government having come to the protection of the people to prosecute the suit against the Bell Telephone Company, Bell will not have any monopoly six months from now. He will not if my evidence of priority is accepted, which it certainly will be. You follow Bell up and you will fiud that he has been buying up everybody out of his way.” “What is there in the Rogers Pan-electric oaitn?” A “Nothing in his telephone or receiver. There is in his transmitter, but a transmitter is no more a telephone than a cotter is a buggy. One thing you will have to get out of your heads—the idea of any patent. It will not be any great while before there will not be any telephone patent at all.” “Are yon one of the parties in the suit brought against the Bell?” “Yes lam named in that bilL We wrote to Hon. Allen G. Thurman that it seemed to ns that if myself and those who wonld sustain my c'ath should first of all he sworn, that oar evidence would save the necessity of any one claiming to have invented the telephone since 1851. ts we invented the telephone in 1851, as we claim and can prove, we certainly have priority. We have no patent Our evidence Upffshcw without the shadow of a donht that I used the telephone in my business for several months in 1851 and the year following. The matter of asking for a patent will depend upon the termination of the suit against Bell.” “Will not the fact that Bell has a patent out you out?” “There is no law compelling anyone to ask for a patent, bnt the American patent law rests upon the great truth that he who asks for a patent must and shall be the first and original discoverer and inventor, and he must reduce his invention to practical use. I made my discovery of the telephone in 1851, sixteen miles west of Racine, Wis. I was engagedin making a telegraph line from Racine to Beloit, Wis. I undertook to make a lightning arrester. Ezra Cornell and Mr. Speed asked mo to get np a lighttaffng arrester and the one I then got np is tho Rather of all lightning arresters. While we were "waiting for a thunder-storm we had one arrester, with boxes, in a swamp and the other we L bad pnt up where we had carried the line along, sixteen miles further on. That day I chanced to put my ear to the box and heard the frogs in that swamp, faintly, but sufficiently clear to recognize their croaking. Others heard the same thing. Then we began experimenting over that sixteen miles of wire. A Mr. White and myself communicated by tapping on the diaphragm in the box with a pencil, each answering the other in the same way. Next a whistle was tried, and the listener at the diaphragm got that. I took the thing apart. When we went on with the line I got Mr. White to make a number of magnets. My brother, William Pitt Cushman, and B. F. Blodgett, both of Akron, 0., were interested in my experiments. Four boxes were made, two for each end of the tine, one to talk in and one to listen at We grounded a wire, and talked to each other back and forth two or threo miles apart all one forenoon. We got other men at work with ns to talk and listen at the boxes. There were si x*. men working near by, all of , whops , fcvstel the speaking boxes. Two of those men are alive ana 1 have their affidavits. I telephoned to them the words, as I remember, “Star where you are and we will bring your dinner to sfoa.” And the answer came back, “All right, Cushman. O. K. We get what you say.” In 1852 aud 1853 these boxes were pnt up by White and other men just for fun, and we have six or seven witnesses who swear to having seen and talked through them. Probably two hundred other persons have heard these men talk Shout these facts. In 1854 my partner in the ne-building moved to Mt. Pleasant, as it was then called. I fixed a loop so that we could talk together, I being at Racine and he six miles away, telephonically. We were all the time trying to make it work louder. You understand, the Bell patent rests upon the telephone that he made in 1875 and I made in 1851, and not upon I the transmitter, which neither of us made. Mr. Blodgett is dead. I have the affidavit of his widow, now living in South Carolina, and she testifies that we used the instrument, crude hthough it was, from place to place and family to

family. ,4 lu 1854 I made a rope-walk at Racine for making wire rope for lightning-rods—Cushman’s cable lightning-rods. You have them here in this town. The walk was between five and six hundred feet long, and we used telephone boxes for the men to converse through while at work. Here are affidavits from men to that fact All the wire rope made, by the way, is made by the Cushman machine. The patent is run out My brother improved the machine. This brother, Joseph Cushman, said he would make boxes that we’dd talk better, louder, and clearer—and he did. Those he made were used all that summer. He l ook the same magnets I had used in the otb£? boxes. We contended that it was the diaphragm that was at fault and we made it fluted, full of holes, and in all sorts of ways, never dreaming of making a short circuit. “I invented the fire-alarm telegraph, and in 1866, 1867 and 1868 lectured to the fire departments over the country. In my fire-telegraph pamphlets you will see I claim a talking circuit In combination with the fire-alarm. But the difficulty was to make them talk loud enough. Lsold my fire-alarm patent, and Gamewell ught it of the parties to whom I sold it I have got ail my pay yet. You have heard of George B. Hicks, the inventor of the first telegraph repeater. He was a boy at Akron, 0., where I taueht him telegraphy. He sold that invention to the "Western Union for SIOO,OOO in stock, probably worth $500,000 afterwards, when *be stock was watered. Hicks tried to improve l* 1 !" telephone, but did not succeed in carrying it an any further than 1 had it or than Mr. Bell had it in 1876. Bell and Cushman stood alike as to volume of voice and efficiency—nothing in kfavor of the Bell except appearance. K “The American Bell Telephone Company sent their attorney to see me. The consequence was, 1 went to Boston and stayed there four cr five r weeks at their expense. I made a contract with them, May 11, 1882, for three years. That contract was out last May. Since that time I have been gathering evidence of which I have told you, and since that time the American Cushman Company has been organized on the evidence I have accumulated. “If the ordinance introduced in your City Council is passed Mr. Boley and the gentlemen who are with him—l, too, am interested in the company—propose to at once put up poles and .wires, and put in 500 instruments within ninety I days. Ours will be a service company, and any telephone—Bell, Brown, Cushman, or any other kind —may hook on. It is coming to it that a man will bay whatever instrument he prefers, and the service line will allow them the use of Hs wires and exchange for a fair rental.” There were no new developments in the telephone situation in this city yesterday, no communication having been received from Chicago in relation to the proposition of citizens to lease the Central Union plant Nothing will be done toward removing telephones until the negotiations are at an end. In Terre Haute and Lafayi ette, however, the telephones of all patrons Whose contracts expired on the 81st of March, Uhave been taken out L / Democratic Disaffection in Ferry. * The Democratic committee of Perry township has caused something of a disaffection in the l party by removing from the ticket the candiyUte for trustee, William Abbott, who was nomsttated.by convention, and substituting William

Webb, without even notifying Abbott that they had decided to make the change. Abbott's friends are very sore over his treatment, and are threatening to retaliate on the candidate pat on the ticket by the committee at the polls on Monday. THE GREAT REFORMER. The Lecture of Dr. Conrad at the English Lutheran Church on “Martiu Luther.” Dr.-F. W. Conrad, of Philadelphia, editor of the Lutheran Observer, lectured at the English Lutheran Church, last night, on “Martin Luther, the Great Reformer.” This lecture was delivered on the quarto-centenary of Lather’s birth, in F&rwell Hall, Chicago, before a large audience, and was also delivered at Gettysburg, at the unveiling of the great Lather monument, May 18,1884. Since that time it has been delivered by him in twelve States of the Union. The Doctor said that man, as originally created, was endowed with reason, and capable of knowing and obeying truth. Tempted by the devil, who “abode not in the truth,” he fell into error and condemnation. In consequence of the fall, a deterioration of the human reason has taken place, and all men have evinced a predisposition to fall into error and sin. The most common and dangerous forms in which error besets men are those of sacrifice, self-mortification, legalism and ceremonialism, engaged in under the impression that by such voluntary offerings, infiiotions, obedience and performances, they might render satisfaction for their sins and merit the favor ot God. Illustrations of this abounded not only among the heathens, bnt also among the Jews, aud they are not wanting even in the Christian dispensation. The Galatians, after being justified by faith, sought to establish their own righteousness by the works of the law. Subsequently Judaizing teachers spread the leaven of legalism far and wide, until the truth that man can be justified alone through grace by faith in Jesus Christ was everywhere, at first, obscured and perverted, and then assailed, suppressed aud anathematized, and the fatal error taught that man may, by the deeds of the law and the work of righteousness, merit grace and eternal life, was taught aud enforced in the Roman Catholic Church. The corruption which followed became so great and demoralizing as to threaten the overthrow of the church, and nothing bnt a thorough reformation could save her from destruction. The necessity for such a reformation had been felt for ages; it was acknowledged by the most candid Romanists themselves; witnesses of the truth attempted it, but fell martyrs at the hands of the papacy, when God raised up Martin Luther, aud enabled him to accomplish the great reformation. Reformers do not, Uowever, spring up like mushrooms in a day, but require the training and discipline of years to prepare them for their work. Christ himself did not enter upon His messianic mission until He had arrived at the age of thirty, and obtaiued the knowledge and experience of full manhood, and Luther required a similar course of preparation to fit him for the successful prosecution of the work of reform. He was born at Eisleben, in Saxony. Nov. 10, 1483, sent to school at Mansfield, Magdeberg and Eisenach, graduated at the University Erfurt with hign honors, entered a monastery, was made a doctor of philosophy and theology, and elected a professor and lecturer on philosophy and the Scriptures in the University of Wittenberg, and at the age of thirty-four inaugurated the Reformation by nailing the ninety-five theses on the doors of the Castle church of Wittenberg, and prosecuted it with untiring industry and indomitable energy for nearly thirty years, and died in February, 1546, at the age of sixty-two. More that three and one-half centuries have passed since the close of his earthly career, and the character of his life and services, the extent and value of the work he accomplished have been fully tested, recognized and appreciated. The quarto-centenary of hia birth occurred on the 10th of November, 1883, when the Protestant world held festal day. Imperial hands laid floral tributes on his tomb, trumpets sounded aud echoed in his praise, and divines and statesmen proclaimed his principles and achievements. Monuments were erected to his menory, and Te Deums, like the sound of many waters, rose from millions of hearts in gratitude and thanks giving to God for giving to the church and to the world Martin Luther, the great reformer. The Doctor recalled the fact that during the dark ages, which lasted a thousand years, the Roman Catholic Church initiated aud set up numerous errors, which culminated in a corresponding number of practical abuses—that Martin Luther detected these errors, in the light of the Scriptures, followed their track and applied the ax of truth to their roots, in order to cut them down. _ In the second part of his lecture the Doctor presented an analysis of Luther, his special characteristics being shown under sixteen separate groupings. In the clear light which the lecture threw upon the colossal magnitude of Luther, Carlyle’s estimate of the great Reformer was reached: “An Alpine mountain—unsubduable granite, piercing far and wide into the heavens, yet, in the clefts of it fountains, green and beautiful valleys with flowers. A right spiritual hero and prophet, once more a true sou of nature and fact, for whom these centuries aud many that are yet to come will be thankful to heaven.”

Would Have Joined the Rebel Army. John Baker, in a communication addressed to the editor of the Veterans’ Review, which appears in that paper this week, says: “iu a conversation, yesterday, I heard Marshall E. Palmer, the Democratic candidate for assessor, say in answer to some remark of a bystander: ‘Damn the Union soldiers; they are never satisfied, but are always wanting something. If I had been East daring the war 1 would have joined the rebel army.' I can furnish witnesses to the truth of this statement.” The Appraisement of Real Estate, To th Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Please have the justice to allow me to say in your paper that there is no truth whatever in the story that I am in favor of increasing the appraisement of real estate in this city and township for taxable p urposes. On the contrary, 1 am in favor of the lowest appraisement consistent with a faithful execution of the law, and believe there are many instances where the present appraisement is too high and should be reduced. M. E. Palmer. April 2, 1886. A Question for Caudidate Palmer. To Marshall E. Palmer, Democratic Candidate for Assessor of Center Township: In view of the fact that your predecessor, C. B. Messick. has held in office during his term pronounced Republicans, yon are asked the question, and an answer is demanded, through the daily press of this city, previous to Monday, April 5, if elected as a Democrat, will you keep Republicans under you in an official capacity? Daniel J. Callinan. Discounting Trustee Kite’s Orders. Center township orders on the road fund are on the market at almost any rate of discount purchasers are pleased to demand. One issued March 16, for $684, bearing 8 per cent interest, was bought a few days ago by Councilman Smithers at a discount of 25 per cent, after it had been re-indorsed by Trustee Kitz in the purchaser’s presence. A Boy Burglar’s Sentence Commuted. The Governor yesterday commuted the sentence of James Carroll, convicted of burglary, in the Wayne Circuit Court, from two years in the penitentiary to confinement in the House of Refuge. Carroll is nineteen years old, and the commutation is made on the recommendation of the judge who sentenced him. United States Architect Clark certifies to the efficacy of Red Star Cough Cure. 25 cents.

A FEATHER-WEIGHT FIGHT. The Pugilistic Contest at the Zoo Interrupted in the Fourth Round* The Interference Angers Warren, Who Wants to Continue the Fight Elsewhere, Although He Has Seyerely Punished Carroll. After the regular performance at the Zoo last night a couple of glove contests, one of some significance, took place. The latter had been advertised as a six-round contest under the Queens- . bury rules, for a purse of $250, between Tommy Warren, the feafcher-weight champion of the world, and Pat Carrol), of Buffalo. A chance to look upon the lad who unmercifully whipped Barneß, a short time ago, in one of the most hotly fought ring battles of late years, drew an audience of large size. Down near the stage were crowded row after row of amateur sports, men-about-town, here and there a heavy-weight citizen, with a lawyer or two of some prominence sandwiched between. Out around the circle of this favored collection were the frequenters of the theater, and the gallery had its customary crowd, who are enthusiastic over anything that has a stage flavor. The patience of the audience underwent a test of more than ordinary degree before the fight came on. That was to be the feature of the evening, and serio-comics, who otherwise would have had their souls delighted with rapturous applause, left the stage without any violent protest, even from the gallery. It was a quarter to 10 o’clock before the last song and dance was given. * The stage manager then came forward and announced that before Warren or Carroll could be seen Frank Farmer, of the working force of the Zoo, and John Doyle, a specialty performer, would put on the gloves for a bout cr two. Farmer is tall and slender, and has arms like grappling-irons. Doyle is sturdy, muscular and firm on his feet. They had two rounds with ordinary boxing-gloves, in both of which the sparring, adroitness add knocks went in Doyle’s favor, although Farmer sought for his opponent’s ribs with considerable energy. After this spurt of amateur science, ropes were placed for a twenty-foot ring. There was some waiting for the police who were represented by Superintendent O'Donnell, Captains Colbert and Campbell, Sergeants Quigley, Travis and Lowe to examine the gloves. It was claimed the gloves weighed four ounces, but they had just enough packing to escape the law.' The stage manager then introduced Tommy Warren, who jumped into the ring with the agility of an acrobat, showing a body of firm frame and very white fleßh. There is a great deal of solidity about the lad in his muscular developments, and hi3 features show dogged determination. Warren was born in Los Angeles, CaL, twenty-one years ago. He is five feet, three inches high in his stocking feet. His life has been that of a sailor, but for the past two years he has done nothing but devote his strength and energies to pugilistic encounters. He has never been beaten, although the rank he has earned did not come to him easily. The first notable contest he had anything to do with took place at Sacramento, Cal., when he thrashed John KeaLing in seventeen rounds. This fight was in 1883, and no gloves were used, the rules of the London prizering being observed. After fights of less importance, he recently knocked Tom Barnes, the champion feather-weight of England, out, but not until one of the longest and pluckiest fights of forty-five rounds went on record. The master of ceremonies then introduced Pat Carroll, of Buffalo, but, for some reason, Pat was detained behind the scenes for five minutes or more. When he did come it was with nimbleness and a smile. A glance showed that he was not in condition, and it is doubtful if any amount of careful training would make him so to meet Warren. His frame is less strong than the latter’s, and his flesh lacks hardness. Carroll sat down on the left of the stage, with Crimmins doing the service of second, while John Doyle and Ed Gordon acted in that capacity for Warren. Carroll may have some local reputation as a fighter and user of the gloves, but he will never extend his reputation by fighting the mettle he tried last night. He is not without good points as a boxer, but he did not look upon the contest with that feeling of confidence, which held Warren to his chair, while waiting tbe completion of preparations, with a nonchalance as if he was to fight only with pillows. Carroll became red in the face.'trembled, and suggested to those near him a possible wish to be anywhere else than in front of the champion feather-weight John Morgan was chosen referee, and when he called time, both men stepped briskly to the center of the ring. It was announced that the one scoring the most points would be the winner. The first round began at seventeen minutes after 10 o’clock. It went altogether Warren’s way. Both sparred briskly, but even in this Carroll was overmatched, as well as in pluck and endurance. He had only the advantage of weight, 124 pounds to Warren’s 116. The latter played around his antagonist’s head, scoring a point whenever it pleased him. Carroll took the blows well and did his best to return tham, but the little Californian had no trouble Cos get out of his reach, whenever it was necessary. At the close Carroll breathed shortly and sharply. He no doubt thought that he had had enough of it. At the call of the second round he had recovered somewhat, but early showed sighs of fatigue. Warren made his points whenever it suited him, and the close left Carroll badly in need of rubbing, fanning and water. Warren in this round hit him in the mouth, aDd broke a tooth, which caused the blood to flow freely. The third round started in with Carroll whipped, but plucky, and anxious to show his style, which did not amount to much, as Warren pursued his leisurely tactics, and knocked his opponent around without any effective defense being made. Warren was just warming up to his work when the police named above stepped upon the stage and stopped the fight. It was a kindness to Carrol), for he could not have gone through the programme, and Warren manifested a little soreness over the interference, and was ugly to Carroll in refusing the latter’s hand as a wind up. He jumped the ropes, and, coming to the foot lights, said, “I am sorry the police have stopped us. lam willing to go outside of the city limits and continue the fight. It won’t cost the audience a cent.” But nobody expressed any desire to go, except out of the theater. No arrests were made.

Itia a prompt, safe and pleasant cure for all throat and lung troubles.

AGONIZING ECZEMA Unable to Walk Without Crutches. Physicians Fail. All llemedies Fail. Cured by Cuticura Remedies. Recognizing the fact that nine-tenths of the testimonials or certificates, published by various so-called patent medicines of the day, are not credited by the majority of the people who read them as being genuine, but mannfactured by the proprietors thereof, almost persuades me from saying anything in praise of your great Cutioura Remedies. Notwithstanding all this, 1 am constrained, to a sense of moral duty, to which I owe you for the efficaciousness of your highly valuable remedies, to convey to you my most grateful acknowledgments and unequivocal testimony in behalf of the virtues and healing powers of your remedies. For three years I was so badly afflicted with that dreadful disease Eczema, on my leg, that I was really unable to walk to my place of business without the use of a crutch. I was attended during the past two years by three of the most eminent physicians of this city, who confessed that they could afford me only temporary relief. Four months ago, in my perplexity, I was induced by a friend to try your Cuticura Remedies, although I had but little faith in any of the so-called "patent medicines.” I have used four boxes of Cuticura, four bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and three cakes of Cuticura Soap, and can fully testify, and make affiadvit if necessary, that my leg is as sound to-day as it was any day of my life previous to the use of your remedies. No human being could feel more grateful towards you and your more than excellent remedies than I do; and you may well suppose, then, that I have unbounding faith in your Cuticura Remedies, and that I desire to make known their merits as a curative to all who may be afflicted as I was. lam ever gratefully yours, J. H. MINNICH, 807 N Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. December 21, 1885. On the twenty-first day of December, 1885, appeared before me in person, J. H. Minnich, who is personally and favorably known to me, and who freely and voluntarily averred and made oath to the truth contained in the foregoing statement by him subscribed. In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand and affix my official seal, the day and year above first written. SAMUEL O. MILLS, J. P. and U. S. Commissioner, Disk of Columbia.

We, the undersigned, hereby jointly and severally certify that we are personally acquainted with Mr. J. H. Minnich, maker of the aforesaid affidavit, who has extensively and satisfactorily transacted business for us, and who has our confidence and esteem as a man of integrity and veracity. We therefore have no hesitancy in saying that we believe his statement to be strictly true in all its details. F. G. ALEXANDER, Cor, 11th and I Streets, N. W., Washington, D. C. GEO. W.

My little son, aged eight years, has been afflicted with Eczema of the scalp, and at times a great portion of the body, ever since he was two years old. It began in his ears and extended to his scalp, which became covered with scabs and sores, and from which a sticky fluid poured out, causing intense itching and distress, and leaving his hair matted and lifeless. Underneath these scabs the skin was raw, like a piece of beefsteak. Gradually the hair came out and was destroyed, until but a small patch was left at the back of the head. My friends in Peabody know how my little boy has suffered. At night he would scratch his head until his pillow was covered with blood. I used to tie his hands behind him, and in many ways tried to prevent his scratching, but it was no use, he would scratch. I took him to the hospital and to the best physicians in Peabody without success. About this time some friends, who had been cured by the CUTIOUBA REMEDIES, prevailed upon me to try them. I began to use them on the 15tn of January. In seven months every particle of the disease was removed. Not a spot or scab remains on his scalp to tJI the story of his suffering. His hair has returned, and is thick and strong, and his scalp as sweet and clean as any child’s in the world. I cannot say enough to express my gratitude for this wonderful cure by the Cuticura Remedies, and wish all similarly afflicted to know that my statement is true aud without exaggeration. • CHARLES McKAY, October 6, 1885. Peabody, Mass. I have seen Mr. McKay’s boy when badly affected with the Eczema. He was a pitiful sight to look at. I know that he has tried our best physicians, and did all a father could do for a suffering child, but availed nothing. I know that the statement ho has made you as regards the curing of his boy by your CUTICURA REMEDIES is true in every particular. william j. McCarthy, 33 Foster St., Peabody, Mass. RAW HANDS A Mass of Itching, Watery, Festering Flesh Cured by Cnticura Remedies. I feel constrained to send you my testimony in relation to the healing properties of Cuticura. In the spring of 1884, I contracted, in some manner unknown to me, an eruption on the back of my hands. I applied salt and water and other remedies usually used when poisoned by ivy—as I supposed that that was tho character of the disease—my hands, however, continued to get worse until the fall, when I consulted medical advice, and used many salves, etc., but all to no purpoee; instead of getting better, they rapidly grew worse, being a mass of watering, festering, raw flesh, very offensive and annoying. Whenever a part would heal up it would be subject to the most violent itching, and immediately break open again worse than before. Little watei’y spots then appeared on my finger joints, and, festering, would spread over a large surface. I was in this condition on Jan. 1, 1885, when I was compelled to leave home on a business trip to the State of Maine. 1 arrived there on Saturday, Jan. 2. and my hands were in a fearful condition, offensive, not only to myself, but to others around me. I did not know what to do in my distress, when, looking over the Kennebec Journal, I read the advt. about Cuticura. lat once procured a box and applied as directed. It at once drew a great qur-r.tity of watery matter to the surface of my hands, and by Monday I could see a great improvement in them, in the subsidence of the swelling and absence of the usual fever. In one week's time my hands were almost well. I continued to use it as often as I could conveniently do so, and now my hands are entirely well, and have been so for the past two or three weeks I regard it and recommend it as just the thing for a skin disease, or au Eczema, such as my physician informed me 1 had.
