When Ernest Evans entered Mr..
Warren's library, he saw Richard Blair

May seemed to have lost her identity,
and become tho helpless creature of that
villain. Oh, plying angels, what sight
to see her crouchng there Not more

toot upon her neck.
There WAS desperate voin in Richard
Blair's composition. He sprang to his

AEoTuER INVENTION BY EDISON
Mr.. Edison, after experimenting for
two years upon it, has ju-t produced
another notable invention. 1t is brsed
upon the principle OF the phonograph,
aud called the ombossing and tran.luting
system ol Geography. The instrument
consists OF "A revolving disk, upon which
is clauped down sheet Of paper. The
surface OF tho disk is marked by spiral
groove, heginuiug at the center md
gradually expanding, ike ascrew thread.
The disk made 10 reyolve bY an electric
motor, and while revolving magnet
uoves over tho surface, following the
groove. A metallic ann holding the
disk in place il caused to move so ;hst
the point which works in connection
with the magnet keeps directly over
the spiral, mUch the same a, the point
in Edison. phonoGrsph moves over the
surtacs OF tin foil on the revolving
cylinder. The sheet of paper thereby
become, a matrix, and is stereotype, us
it were OF the characters transmitted
This indenled rnat,ix May become the
medium OF transmitting tho communi
cation as many times and TO Us many
different plAces as may be defined. BY
connecting the revolving disk with u
battery the disk will be made to revoive
and automatically uan-mit, The great
advantage Of this instrument is that Al
message may 5e sent at one time in the
ordinary telszraph'ng to rs many places
as may be de,irsd. Mr.. Edison is elated
over hi new invention, and expects that il
will soon ba put in operation everywhere.

TRINITY PROPERTY RENTS.

In regard to tho complaints madc by some OF the
tenants Of Trinity Church property relative to the
high rents demanded by that corporation General
Dix, of the Committee Rentals, said to HERALD
reporter last night that the committee would hear the
grievances Of any individual and, when practicable,
would make reasonable reduction IN the rents. He
had been called upon by Mr.. George NJ Chapman, not
as chairman OF committee appointed by tenants but
in his private capacity, and General Dix
had informed him that he might have
ducton OF ten per cent meeting Of
tenants held on the 18TH inst. for the purpose OF
securing reduction oil ground rentals but General
Dix said, "Beiore this meeting was held more than
hundred tenants had agreed to take the property
at old rents" The statement that the officers of
the church avcrse having the matter brought
before the pubic, he said, was not correct. Though
they could see the necessity for publicity they
had objection whatever TO thorough ventilation
oil the matter.
