NEW YORK, December 30.
The Herald says: The laboratory Of Edison at
Aenlo Park was brilliantly illuminated last
night with his new electric light, the occasion
being visit of number OF the inventors per-
sonal friends. Forty lamps in all were burning
from until 10 O'Clock. The effect OF the ex-
hibition was to convince those present who
before were skeptical, that Mr.. Edison had in
reality produced the electric light for household
illumination. No day is yet aet for general
public exhibition, but 1t is quite probable that
inside of week everything will be in readiness
to be seen by all who desire to visit Menls Park
Gas stocks are still depressed, with downward
tendency.

clines to favor Tilden, while the latter il an
enthusiastic advocate Of General Hancock.

disaster was ascertained. 1t 10 not known
whether tina girders were blown down before
the train entered upon the bridge, or were car
ried away with it, and it will probably be never
