The Telephone.

The second lecture in the Lyeeum Course
on the above subject, called out large au-
dience on last Friday evening, in spite of
the unpleasant weather. The church was
connected with Gaebler's music store on 4th
street, six blocks distant, by an insulated
copper wire, which was the medium of
transmission. Prof. LoyewelI, the lecturer,
traced the progress of Teleph ouy from Pages
galvanic music in 1887 TO its final develop
ment in 1872 by Bell, Gray, Edison and
others. The different forms of apparatus
were illustrated BY chart diagrams, and
the Professor explained as clearly and con-
cisely as the nature of the subject would
allow, the scientific principles Of acoustics
and electricity involved. To the greater
majority of the audience the most interest
ing part of the entertainment consisted in
their listening to the sounds transmitted
over the wire. This continued until late
hour and afforded much amusement especi-
ally to those who remained in the church
after the majority of the audience had dis
persed. The different musca instruments
were distinctly heard, every note being &C.
curately transmitted. The singing of
Messrs. Gaebler, May and Charboneau was
much enjoyed as was also controversy On
the Silver Bill, in which Mr.. j. 3. Bennett
played an important part.

very much mistaken. He must not think
that because We are foreigners our votes can

Fatal RAILROAD Ac,lti.nt.

On Friday afternoon, between 3 and 4
O'Clock, as the train from Marshall, on the
Winona d st. Peter railroad, arrived at
Sleepy Eye, a number of railroad hands got
aooard. They had just been paid off, and
had evidently drank freely, and were feeling
jolly. Two of the number left the train and
were engaged in friendly scufle over
bottle of beer on tho track at the rear of the
train, when it began to back up to take on q
car for Redwood. Not noticing the ap-
proach OF the Gals, one of the men, John
Buckley by name, was knocked down and
run over, the wheels passing from his hips
downwards, mangling his person horr. bly,.
Two cars passed over him, aud when taken
up, although breathing, he was past hope OF
recovery. He died soon afterwards. The
deceased was resident of Rochester, in this
State, about 25 years of age, and unmarried
No blame can DO attached to the employees OF
