UNIFORM RAILROAD TIME-Professor Alexander Hall of
Lloydsvle Ohio, exhibited yesterday al No sos Broad
way invention which bids fair to be one of the mo5
important fthstcegaphc age for sto give aperfec uni
form clock time at every station upon line ell the rail
road lines in the United States For example small bras
clock of and very simple construction provided with
a common horse shoe magnet OF about pound weight
apart Of the works with pendulum, is moved by mag
ne.c battery and by connection OF wire running from
the moving power through all the clocks tho lne tina:
pendulum regulates the whole and al will run with
perfect uniformity long the battery gives forth its
power So that regulator clock at New York with line
Of wire TO Buffalo, would move the eond minute aud hour
hands upon clockaces every station exactly they
at New York and tina. would be tie time With
which all Conductors watches conform there would
be chance Of collision in consequence of variation OF
time.
Several Of the most terrible accidents recorded within the
last year have been owing this cause That upon the
Camden and Amboy Road whore several lives and limb,
lost owing to the difference of five minutes be
tween conductors watches That the Providence aud
Worcester Road variation of only minute and that
oDe minute several lives and made many cripple, for
life and Diulcted the company in $4,000 damages
1t is interesting showing the influence of the press to
sate that Prof Hall melted TO undertake the invention
of this clock from reading in TIE Tribune The importance
Of one minute a railroad
We understand that in all Geographic clocks. heretofore
invented there he's been difficulty they affected
by the strength of the battery In this invention that diff
Guilty said be obvated At any rate if the governing
clock runs fast or slow OF true time all upon the circuit must
correspond.
The expense ofputing up alne of these telegraph cocs
will be about IS per clock aud for he wire the same as
common telegraph line The cost of regulating line would
be one battery and one Superintendent
Several railroad men have examined and approved the
principle of this invention and hops many others Will
examine it. and if not perfect in its machinery that viii
be made and speedily applied to some road until its use
iulDess may be fully tested
We understand that James NJ Thompson No sos Broad
interested with the inventor and thu they purpose
to give any road the privilege free Of patent fee that viii

public exhibition. after the plan has been further eN
