THE BELL PUNCH.
sOmetIing About this Ingenious
COntriyance Hitherto Unknown.

Pittsburgh Post.
Although considerable has been writ
tel about the pIstoi.llke bell punches,
which are used on most of our street raIl
ways, there are yet some unpublished
facts about this mysterious Continuance
W iich will prove interesting readin- IL
would seem almost impossible TOR l. con
d actor to beat the punch" but it i
n .vertheless done. In Philadelphia and
New York cOnspiracies have been found
among conductors which have resulted
in wholesale discharges from some OF
the roads. Many OF these railways have
abandoned the use OF them altogether
and put the clock Indicator, used in the
East, IN their place In this experiment
they have found that their receipts have
increased twenty per cent. The punch
i patented, and the patentee receives u
royalty of twenty cents day for each
p inch used. This would make $3.50
which the Pittsburgh and Birmingham
line alone, where they run fourteen cars,
pay HIM daily. The punch Is in use in
mot all OF the principal cities in the
country.
The punches are manufactured by the
Cot Manufacturing Company, OF Hart.
13rd, Connecticut They are made to
ring and register each fare on an indi-
Gator within, also punches hole in the
trap slip attached to the conductors coat,
The number OF fares registered on the
Indicator is expected to correspond with
tie cash turned IN, and with the number
OF holes in the trlp-shp. The punch is
closed with q combination lock, which
has long been supposed 10 defy the in
genuity OF dishonest conductors. The
! OK stands up from the punch like
round burr or nut, about three-q quarters
at M inch nigh, aad IN four little zones of
metal are marked the letters on which
combination is made. There are
100000 combinations to be used, and il
l. changed every day.
Last summer man named MCPher-
son WAS discharged from the Colt Works,
aud ne went a. once TO Philadelphia,
where y ring WAS formed on . the Girard
avenue line TO beat the punch. HIS fee
WAS So per week from each man, they TO
keep what they could steal over this.
Mcpherson WAS assisted in his operations
b. man named Barton, and the way
they operated WAS this: McPher-
son, by means OF very delicate IN
strument passed between the zones OF
the lock, could learr any combination,
aud pick the lock. This he taught the
conductors, and soon they couIl open the
punch and regulate the indicator. The
conductor, when he received q fare, i'm
lnediately pushed the trip-slip into the
punch, but not far enough to cut the pa
per, when it WAS snapped. The bell
rang each time, and the index within
registered the fare, But the conductor
kept the money, and when opportunity
offered. the punch being unlocked, he
sIyly turned the index hand back I'M
Ill it corresponded with the holes in the
trip slip.

Late advices from the East intimate
that the Khedive of Egypt, is raising

If this be true, it will inevitable draw

probability general war will ensue.
Russia has made provision for carry
ING on the war for a year and it seems
that all Europe is afraid OF the con
sequences. The engagements thus
far have resulted favorably for Rus
STA as the final result undoubtedly
will also do. But it is not to be pre-
sumed that the Turks will very soon or
very humbly submit to the terms of
her great opponent. While it may
result in the overthrow Of the Otto
man Empire it must also result in
serious disaster to the Christians.

States by the testimony at John u.

Day Saints to appreheud the arrest OF
Brigham Young and other leaders of
the church, accused Of sanctioning the
commission of that horrible crime. The
Saints have determined to resist amy
movement against Brigham by FEEDER
al authority, aud to this end they are
secretly arning and drilling. Orders
have been privately issued by the mill
tary commanders of the famous Navoo
Legion requiring that the organization
be in readiness for active service on
the 2lst of the present month. Night
meetings and drills are going on in Salt
Lake city itself, and it is reported that
Brigham asserted within the last few
DAYS that the Mormons who have been
driven SO often and so far will be driven
no longer. -Four boxes of breech load
ing rifles were shipped last week. to a

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, d. c., MAY 5, II.

W AsHINGToN, ID. e., May D, II.
Three recent occurrences mark the
return Of better times, politically, to
the country. AT the funeral of Par
son Brownlow yesterday, at Knoxville,
a military company, commanded by
an eX-Confederatc officer, performed
escort duty. Henry Watterson, edi-
tor of a Louisville paper and late of
the Confederate army, has accepted
an invitation to deliver the address,
on May 30th, decoration day. at the
National Cemetery at Nashville, Ten
nesee. He says that he feels that the
American soldier, who gave up his
life for his opinions, no matter where
he fought, was his comrade. At
Louisville, Ky, the citizens assembled
on the night of the End, without re-
gard to party, to celebrate the Presi-
dents action in withdrawing troops
from participation in Southern State
affairs. These things, occurring at
one time in various sections and like
ly to be followed as good examples,
certainly reflect credit on all parties.
The celebration Of memorial day" at
Arlington, the principal National
Cemetery, will not differ from previous
ones, at which citizens were vigorous
ly prohibited from adjoining any but
Federal graves, and the few Confed-
crates buried there will receive only
such attention as may on other days
be bestowed on them. A year or two
since an effort was made to honor
them on the Both Of May, but it was
prevented.
The President, it is reported, will
in his first message to Congress rec
ommend that assistance be given by
the Government to the Southern Pa
cific Railroad. The better opinion
seems to be, however, that he will in
a general way call attention to the
impoverished condition of the South
consequent upon the war and the sub
sequent ignorant and corrupt rule of
negroes aHd carpet-baggers, and ask
that such action be taken bv Con
gress, as will most benefit the sec
ton. While favorable to the grant
ing of aid to the road, the President
is anxious that no final action be tax
en- at the extra session.
Unreasonable complaint is being
made at proposed reduction in the
number of Government agencies for
payment of pensions. The facilities
for the payment Of such claims bv
mail are so complete that all the agen-
cies might be abolished without in
jury to the pensioner, and all pay
ments be made directly from this
city. 1t is the office that passes upon
pension claims that is inefficient, not
that which makes the quarterly pay
ments.
There is much quiet discussion of
the question, whether OF rot the Dem-

REThe Wheeling Register,

R1FThe Wheeling Register, a
short time ago, was rampant with any
body who would suggest any advan-
tages possessed by Charleston as a
place for the Capital Of the State. No
place could there be named which
was SO utterly unfit for the Capital as
Charleston, in the estimation of the
Register. Now it devotes whole
column to citing Charleston's many
supposed advantages. We have one
very serious objection to Charleston;
it is too far from "hyar."
