THIRD DIsPATCHI
WASHINGTON. July 29sh.-Prof. Bell is
working hopefully on his invention for ioeat-
ing bullets, and has an ingenious continuance
already.
The President was propped up in bed to-
day by his own request, sitting nearly up
right for half an hour. This eased him, and
he soon tell asleep. The physicians all talk
hopefully and confidently. The President is
impatient to get out of bed. No abseess Is
now feared The patient breads the painful

opinion from High Medical Authority.
LONDON, July 296h.-The London Lancet
says OF Garfield: "A portion of the dress
may have been carried into the wound, and
each OF the assesses thst forms Is not only
direct source of danger from the pain and fe-
yer and the danger OF its spreading deeply,
bus vita each there is fresh liability to
blood-poisoning. 1t is quite impossible to
feel any certainty that We may not heat OF
another abscess or relapse, and it Is Of great
importance that the patients constitutional
vigor should be maintailed at as high pitch
as possible, in view OF future troubles The
absence Of lever and severe exhaustion re-
moves any cause foz immediate alarm, but
until the wound IS quite healed and the bullet

WAsHIaGToS, July 295a.-A detailed re-
port Of tie murder Of Collector Bfayton is
received. The Deputies, upon arriving at the
scene of the murder, were unable to obtain
anyone to 20 with them to the murderer
McD0w's house. The livery stable refused 20

was uncered for by the citizens. The Cor

The Postal telegraph Cempany.
NEW YoRK, July 29.h The stock Of TIE
new Postal Telegraph Company, organized
yesterday, is chiefly in tie hands OF CALI
farnia, New York and Boston capitalists, al
though a considerable portion is said 90 be
taken in Europe The company propose TO
construct a system OF telegraph lines in the
United States. Canada and Mexico, and do
general telegraph business. The prospectus
promises that lines equivalent IN working
capacity to the present Western Union
system shall be in operation by January.
1888. The new company recently obtained
facilities which they claim viii enable them
to do this without interfering with the rights
and patents hold by the Western Union.
The first point obtained by the KeeDe com
bination was the patents on the new system
of automatic ard FAC smile telegraph, the
patentee being W. y. Legs. The patents
have been assigned TO he photographic
Manufacturing Company, Incorporated last
October, aud the price paid the latter for
exclusive rights to use the Legs automatic
and fac simiie machine IS said TO be 81 CO.,

propose to 20 into q general telegTaphic bust
ness, but viii continus 20 perfect aud manu-
facture tbeir machines. BY the automatic
system messages can be sent at az average
rate of 3 O00 to 1880 words minute. while
by the old method % words a minute is the
capacity # the Instruments. With proper
wire and the instruments in perfect order, the
managers Of the new company cay they have
reason TO believe the rate of 5000 words per
minute is practicable. The American Rapid
Telegraph Company Is similar to this in many
respects but practically their speed is limiteo
to less than 600 words minute At the
rate Of Z, 500 words a minute, the new COM
papy can transmit more words in q quarter Of
an hour than the ordinary method in
twentv-four hour. BY this mechan-
ism $4,000 words can be transmitted
In an honr on one wire, and in day nearly
4.OO0.O 600 words. They can do more business
with one wire between two points than the
Western Union can do with all their iDstru-
nents. The prospectus says the company
proposes 10 construct lines of telegraph
across tile Continent, communicating with
the ocean cables and connecting all leading
cities and towns in the United States, Canada
ard Mexico. One advantage claimed By the
new company is the possession Of the
Gray harmonic multiple and the Way
duplex system of telegraphing. the
Gray harmonic system BLOWS SIX messages 70
be sent simultaneously over single wire in
the same or opposite directions each message
being sent, as it were, on different key or
tone from the others. This embraces the
Way duplex system, by which any number
of stations on line may communicate with
each other on single wire, on which through
business is simultaneously being done. The
conductivity Of the wire to be used is much
greater than that Of any other wire used, the
resistance being so much less than that OF
an ordinary telegraph wire as to bring Chi

Syracuse. compared with the best wire now
in use, and bringing San Francisco this side
of Chicago The patents covering this wire
and machinery, and the appliances used in
it's manufacture, as well as the factory, have
recently been purchased by the Postal Tele-
