Commissioners recently refused permission
to st. Patrick's Mutual Alliance Society to

pose Of participating in the laying of the

ADETECTIyE PUNCH.
Ingenious Device to Register Railroad
Fares.

Ingenious DeyiC6 10 Register hBliFOau
Fares.
Mr.. Jas. II. Small, of Buffalo, is said to
have perfected 8 machine, with which
cheating is impossible. Il is only con-
ductor's punch, but SO ingeniously con-
structed that it is entirely unnecessary for
the conductor to make his report at the end
of his trip, the punch making the report for
him. This ingenious little machine weighs
about six ounces, is made of brass, nickle-
plated, and is not much larger than the
common punch used by conductors. We
can more readily describe it by explaining
the manner of its use:
The conductor is furnished with a trip
card, upon which there is double row of
numbers, each number representing the
amount of one fare. If five cents is the
fare upon our city railway, the numbers
range as follows: 5, 10, Is, 20, and so on.
When the conductor receives his first fare
he punches out 5; as he does so small
gong, loud enough to be heard in any part
Of the car, strikes in the punch, announc-
ing to all within hearing that one fare has
been collected. At the same moment the
hands on dial arranged like the face of
watch are moved forward, and register one
fare, while the fragment Of the card with
the upon it drops into receptacle
below, and there remains until the end of
the trip, being the third silent but positive
witness to the conductors integrity. When
the officers of the road hand the punch over
to the conductor they register the number
indicated by the dial, lock the openings Sc
curely, and the machine is so arranged that
the least attempt to tampsr with the lock
can be instantly detected.
This little machine is destined TO work a
revolution in railroad circles. The cheat,
when he receives the fare, viii fail to punch
the card, and that failure will be noticed at
once by the passengers, who will naturally
be listening for the sound of the gong.
Not only can this punch be used to advant-
age upon street railways, but upon steam
roads, steam and othor ferry boats, theaters,
and in faet in every place of public amuse-
ment. .r.

The OIL MOnOpOIy-What Will the
Operatives DO?

TITUsvTLLE, PA, Sept. S0.-The oil
regions are again at fever heat. Every
where the intensest feeling prevails over
the movement to suspend producing. Dis
patches from the districts generally show
that the movement is universal, and there
are probably not over fifty wells producing
tonight. From some localities it is re-
ported that violence has been resortei in
carrying out the measures, we'll rigs burned
and engines destroyed By sledge hammers
and oil tanks tapped Some are still
strongly holding out ag4 ; il it, but its
thought they will yield and further violence
will be avoided. The effect Of this move
ment is already apparent ia a advanced
and more active market.
d, PITTsBURG, Pa, Sept. S0.-Since the
commencement Of the movement, oil has
advanced one dollar per barrel.

TERRIBLE STORM IN SOUTHERN
KENTUCKY.
Fearful Destruction OF Property and
Injury 20 Persons.

.
Injury 20 Persons.
Saturday afternoon last one of the most
terrible tornadoes ever known visited Chris
tian county, Kentucky, sweeping buildings,
fences and trees before it. In the region
around Hopkinsville, its effects were
most destructive and it is thought
the loss to property will amount
to at least 100000. Fortunately
the wind swept around that town which
would have shared much damage had it
been otherwise, The fercest wind prevail
ed north of the town, though in some sec-
lions Immediately south and wet its power
was very great. The only person injured,
so far as we can learn, was Mrs. John
Clark. whose arm was broken. Her dwell
ling located on the Palmyra road, two
miles south of Hopkinsvile, together with
all the negro cabins, barns, and
outhouses, was blown down. To prinoi-
pal loss to property was that OF the barns,
many Or which with their contents of to-
bacc0 being fred at that time were des-
troyed. The residence Of Bnrreli Ritter in
the outskirts of Hopkinsyille was unroofed
as were numerous others. It is believed
many persona zaast have been injured in
the general wreck caused by the fierce
winds.

EXCITEMENT ON A RAILROAD
TRAIN.

A Passenger Shoots q Thief who At
tempts TO Pick his Pocket.
Yesterday morning when the South
bound train on the Memphis and Louisville
railroad was between Mckenzie and Paris,
the passengers were very much excited by
the report of pistol. A passenger fell in
with a thief who engaged in friend
~ conversations and so far seduced the con-
idence ofhis intended victim that he en-
deavored to pick his pocket while sitting
together. Seeing his object, the passenger
drew his pistol aud fred the ball hitting the
pick pocket in the elbow. The wounded
rascal was arrested and carried to Memphis.
The passenger, who was justified in the
act he did was not molested but left the
train upon its arrival at Mckenzie.

and Ermesand.

New YORK, Sept. 29.-Late files of Lon
don paper contain the following: Prince
Bismark has published his correspondence
with the Bishop of Ermeland. The pre-
la1e's appearance at the Marienburg festi-
yities was to be permitted only on condi-
ton of bis acknowledging the supremacy
of civil law within its proper jurisdiction.
He is ready enough TO affirm this as a gen
eIal proposition, but not to admit that he
has transgressed the law in pronouncing
accommodation without the knowledge OF
the State. The Chaneellor's last letter
points out in very significant language that
the Bishop has deliberately withheld the
amende which was required of him. y

the result is, that whenever fund is need

from the visitors to these Industrial Expo
