HIS LAST TAKE.
A Well-knoWn Printer Shot a. q
Chicken Thief.

From the 6lobe-Dem"crat.
LEBANON, o., Jnly ia horrible and
somewhat mysterious tragedy occurred here
last night. the parties who acted the CHIEF
parts heirg veil known men OF ,own. At
o'clock this morning Squire B. I Brown
was awakened and told that a Coroner
vas wanted at the Oshkosh saloon, j',s,
outside Of the Co poratiOn. Two young
men bore The tidings that Sam. Brill, q
well-known Young man, had been shot. and
]. Har., one Of them, gave himself up. say
ing he wss the party that did the killing.
The Squire and physician repaired to the
place and found q young man lying dead,
with his entire breast torn away. Harris
story is that he Was awakened about IL
o'clock by the noise of chickens Auttering
and screaming. As he had Otter. been
troubled by chicken thieves, he seized .
shotgun and went down to the coop, when
he saw three men about thirty feet in front
OF him. He fred 1t one If them, when the
figure staggered forward and fell against the
coop. He approached the fallen man, a.

Jaw il was 8 m. Brill, an intimate friend Of
his. He says Brill looked up ct him say
ing: "Jay, you have shot your beat friend, !"
and then lay back and breathed his last.
The other men proved to Be Ben. Oliver
and Quincy Noah. and it il stated that
Noah il mortally wounded, nut his case is
guarded very carefully BY his friends. and
nothing definite can he sscertsined. The
dead man was very popular, and better
known probably than any man in this Sec
ton, having been engaged in almost all
kinds Of business. He has been compost
tor ON the Cincinnati Commercial and other
Cincinnati papers. The town Is intense
" excited. Hart u still at liberty. but it
is thought that at the inqueet tomorrow
facts will be elected which will cause his
arrest. A former owner Of the Oshkosh
told your reporter that he vas at that place
last night At 10 o'clock, and left al the par
ties there in good humor. Hart Is we'll
known and we'll liked. but his rash oct Of
his is much criticised. ~ IN old and respect-
able father and delicate mother are nearly
he.rt-broken over the loss OF their only son.
The dead name people are wealthy. The
town is sorrow stricken, and nothing bat the
tragedy is talked Of. As the day wears on
the report seems to strengthen that young
Noah has been found dead, riddled with
shot. in the Shaker woods, some three miles
from here.

Talepnoue az Yuma.

On Saturday evening lecture on this
subject was delivered to large and at'en-
tive audience by Lieut. Philip Rcade, who
has made specially of applied electricity.
His lecture was delivered in manner
that showed thorough familiarity with the
subject, and with happy cIearness OF
illustration that made telephony appear a
very simple thing. After brief explana-
ton Of the sources and nature of electricity,
magnetism, gaIyanism, etc, he gradually
led the minds OF his audience to clear
comprehension Of the principles upon
which the telephone works.
He showed us that the Bell telephone
generates its own electricity by induction,
thus involving no wear-and-tear or CON
sumption Of chemicals; and that atmos-
pheric vibrations, acting on the disc at
one end Of the line, affect the current of
electricity which produces exactly cores
pending vibrations Of disc (and the at
mosphere) at the other end. a wire was
stretched from the ouartcrmaster's depot
to the Court House, about half a mile, and
at the close Of the lecture, messages were
sent and received between members Of the
audience and parties At the depot; the pc,
culiarities Of individual voices were clear
y recognized in The messages transmitted.
Mr. H 3. Smith, Jr, at the depot, played
on 2 harmonicon Sweet Home, Guards
Waltz and other airs, which were heard
clearly at the Court House by parties
holding the telephone there.
