CORRECT TIME.
An arrangement or Value TO the
Public.

The superintendent of the United
States Naval Observatory at Wash
ingtOn has concluded an arrange
ment with the Western Union Pele-
graph Company by which the stan
dard time as determined daily by the
Naval Observatory will be telegraph
ed throughout the country. It Is pro-
posed to extend the arrangement for
controlling public clocks in the large
cities, and also for distributing the
noon signal to the various cities hsv-
ing more than u, ,OO0 inhabitants.
The plan as determined upon in New
York is to drop the large time
ball on the Western Union Com
pany's building at exact noon,
according to Washington time, the
difference in time being noted In cor
reeting clocks and watches. The ball
being st q very high point in the city
can be seen for miles around, and
time-pieces may be regulated accOr-
dinEy. In addition to this public
notice OF the correct time, the tele-
graph company Is prepared to extend
wires about the cities into businss
houses, offices, factories, and houses,
ana Dy tue use OF simple automatic
instrument the exact time can be
given every day. As for instance,
in this city, when It is noon at the
Washington Observatory it is 11;4l.
So that, reckoning in that way, the
exact time can be had daily. No
notification has been, as yet, received
by the manager Of the Western Union
Office In this city to put up the time
hall, but 1t will probably be done.
The price at which the company will
deliver for one year the Washington
noon signal to the principal Office
is $4,000, or for q weekly sig
nal, ..S25. This charge is to be
divided among the subscribers in the
city, pro rata. The expense Of hav-
ing an Office or factory connected
with the principal Office will be
agreed upon, the expense being met
in the form OF an annual rental Of the
necessary wire, etc. Each subscriber
will therefore pay the rental Of the
wire, and his prOportiOnate share Of
the general expense. The value Of
this arrangement will at once COM
mend itself to public attentiOR.

The following Is a Lima, o., speciaI
TO the Cincinnati Commercial dated
Monday last: {:
A mysterious affair occurred here
this morning, that caused quite q
sensation in our quiet city. A young
lady Of rather pFepOssessing appear
ance, arrived from the south on the
train due at 3:35 A. NJ, and stopped at
Brunt's Hotel, at the depot, where
she was given 3 room, but did not
register her name. About 8 O'Clock
she was seen going to the water closet,
where sne remained sOua7 time, tuen
returned to the hotel and went to her
room. Soon afterwards two ladies,
hearing the cries of an infant, InVes-
tigated, and found q baby IN the
vault. It was rescued Immediately,
and, although life was nearly extinct,
It was brought around all right by
proper restoratives, and proved fine,
healthy girl baby, weighing eleven
pounds. The woman had DISAPPEARED
when search was made for her, but
how she went or where she is Is un-
known.
