WASHINGTON, September 4.-since the
death OF General Myer, Mr.. A. Watson
has proposed his plan OF storm and food
signals by telegraph and cannon to the
Secretary OF War, requesting that the pa
per be referred to the Acting Signal Officer
and the General OF the Army, which was
done as requested. General Myer was q
steady opponent Of this system for some
years, Notwithstanding strong endorse
ments in Its favor, but Mr.. Watson hopes
that through hissuccessor the system may
be testad at q few military stations. This
will cost but trife, and il the result 10
satisfactory the system can then be ex-
tended generally throughout the United
States by the local authorities at o small
cost and at no cost whatever to the gener-
al government. The new system Ia not In
tended to supplant the old, but to act in
conjunction with 1t, to give better warn
ing in several classes OF storms and sudden
floods on rapid rivers.

Considerable OF sensation was caused
in the neighborhood Of the Panhandle car

ed in anything but respectable manner
about the wife oil mailer In the Jefferson

complaint TO make-there was no brass
band. It was expected that the prisoner
would be bailed out Immediately, but Il
was discovered that no bail could be fixed
until some one had made charge against
the prisoner; SO, singularly enough, he
had 10 remain in jail because no one ac-
cused him Of anything until Col. Baron
went his bail and he was released from the
