BeIl,s Rights to the Telephone Com

Boston, June 27.-In the United States
Circuit Court to-day Judge Lowell rendered
a decree for the complainants, In the suit of
the American Bell Telephone Company ct
al, vs. Albert Spencer ct al, for Infringe
ment of patent. The Judge says: ''If the
Bell patents were for mere arrangement or
combination OF old devices to produce
somewhat better result In a known
art then, no doubt, a person who
substituted new element, not
known at the date of the patent, might es-
cape the charge of infringement, but Bell
discovered new art, that of transmitting
speech by electricity, and has a right TO
hold the broadest claim for 1t which can be
permitted in any case, not to the abstract
right of sending sounds by telegraph with
out any regard to the means to be employed,
but to all means and processes, which he
has both invented and claimed"

st. Paul to Liverpool By Way Of the
AF-IE VI E~0FFWN 2 F7IENT7


For purposes of commercial transpor-
tatlon, the Mississippi river is sea, CIV
ing the people and products OF large
areas of nineteen States and territories
direct waterway to the ocean and thus TO
foreign countries. Among the accumu-
iating proofs that the facts above stated
are meeting with recognition and appre-
citation, is the establishing of transporta-
tion companies giving through bills OF
lading over this great water route Tor
produce from the heart of the continent
to foreign ports, with arrangements that
enable the bringing back of import car
goes, deliverable in sealed and bonded
barges to all ports upon the Mississippi
and its great navigable tributaries
Among these transportation enterprises
is one engaged in bringing wheat for ex-
port from st. Paul and points on the
upper Mississippi. st. Paul, which is
the practical head of navigation of the
Mississippi river, is situated in Mime
sofa, quite two thousand miles from this
city by the windings of the river,
which, in passing from the former
place to this, traverses an extent
of country measured, from north to
south, by fifteen degrees of latitude. At
st. Paul wheat for export is loaded on
sealed barges which are delivered
here alongside ships into which the
grain is transferred by the rapid and in
genlous instrumentality of floating
steam elevators, so that twenty four
hours are often sufficient to make this
single translation of a cargo brought
from two thousand miles in the heart OF
a continent for shipment beyond seas
upon bills of lading guaranteeing through
transportation and freight rates from the
point of starting to its final destination.
This line is arranged for importing
just the same as it is for the export
trade. Goods imported by the package
or in bulk can be transferred directly
from incoming ships to barges, which
are bonded to the government for the
transportation of imported goods, and
under lock and seal, with this one single
handling, these goods are delivered at
st. Paul or at any other point along the
shores of this inland sea which we call
river, such interior towns being thus
converted into ports of entry.
Not the least important feature of this
system of transportation is its importa-
ton feature 1t has all along been easy
enough to find cargo for ships here, but
they have had so little to bring back that
they have been forced to come in ballast
at dead expense for the inward voyage.
Let all the foreign merchandise consumed
in the Mississippi valley and the West be
imported, as it can be legitimately and
profitably, through the jetties, and the
problem of our commerce is at once
completely solved.

A Horrible Outrage.
Atlanta Constitution.

One Of the most outrageous cases we
have heard since the war was reported
to us yesterday. 1t seems that one FL.
A. Keith, deputy marshal, and his son,
Albert Keith, who claims to be a deputy
marshal, fell out with FL. NJ. Bramlett
and Christy Grier, for swearing out a
warrant against q witness for perjury, in
Gilmer county, and Albert Keith swore
out warrant against Bramlett and Grier
for conspiracy and intimidation. before
w. B. Smith, commissioner, in Allan
ia. When these deputy marshals re-
turned to Gilmer they arrested Bramlett
and Grier. Bramlett's mother is very
i'll, and so is his wife, and DR.. J. r.
johnson, leading citizen of Gilmer
county, gave the following certifcate
"ELLIJAY, GIIMER COUNTY. June 10. 1871
hereby certify that am a practicing ply scian
in said county; that the mother of Fl. NJ. Bran
lett, the above deponent. is dangerously sick
and further certify that from my own per-
sonal knowledge, the mother Of deponent is
dependent upon him for proper nursing and
the care and attention necessary to her safety,
and that it will not be safe for said Fl. IL.
Bramlett to leave his mother at this time.
sfSigned1 j. IL. JOHNSON. III. D..
Sworn to and subscribed before me, June 13,
1881. J. G. ALLEN. Ordinary"
Mr.. J. G. Allen, the Ordinary of the
county, is also practlcing attorney, and
as counsel for Bramlett and Grier, filed
with the Keiths a demand to have his
clients tried before McB Wilson, who is
a United States Commissioner at Elliiay,
iu Gilmer county. The Keiths disregard
ed the certificate and the demand, and
brought Bramlett and 3rier to Atlanta,
ninety miles from their homes. Bran
lett and Grier were required to give
bond of three hundred dollars for one,
and five hundred dollars for the other,
which they gave Immediately. FL. r.
Keith then swore out warrants against
DIR. johnson and Mr.. Allen, charging
them with obstructing and delaying a
deputy marshal, and went back to Gilmer
county and arrested them. They were
brought to Atlanta and tried day before
yesterday before Commissioner Smith,
and after hearing the evidence the case
was dismissed. Such transactions as this
is calculated to bring the administration
of the law into disrepute, and we call
upon those who have this matter in hand
to deal with these officers as their con-
duct deserves. General Longstreet can
do no better service to the government
and to the people than to remove such
men promptly and at once. We never
heard of such an arbitrary exercise of
authority on the part of a deputy mar
shal even in the days of 1870 and 1871,
when an honest deputy was the excep-
tion and dishonest deputies the rule.

A Child FATALLY INJURED RyARA,

n OH1LD FATALLY INJURED BY A KAT.
Theodore Fritz, his wife and family
have for three months past occupied q
frame house of two rooms in the rear of
No. 800 Brown street, Philadelphia.
They are Germans, and have been in this
country about year. The husband was
sunstruck last summer, and, in conse-
quence, was for long time unable to
labor, and the family became very poor.
Recently the husband has been at work.
Thursday morning, about 10 o'clock, the
wife left the six-weeksold infant asleep
on the bed in the upper room of the
house, two of the elder children being at
school and the third playing in the street,
and went to the railroad to gather coal.
Returning few minutes before 12
o'clock she went up stairs TO her child,
and on the steps encountered q rat, which
fed past her aud escaped. Upon the bed
she found her child almost lifeless, with
its face and upper portion of the body
covered with blood. Calling in the
nelghbors an examination of the infant
was made, when it was discovered that
rat had eaten away the nose, the skin
from the forehead, and a portion of the
scalp. The hands and arms also showed
punctures of the vermin's teeth. Medical
aid was called in, but death ensued in
the course of half an hour. Mrs. Fritz
states that rats have frequently been
seen down stairs, but she was not aware
that they were in the upper room.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, June 27.-The trial of
the prisoners charged with the murder of
the ex Sultan Abdul Aziz commenced to-
day with public examination Of the prison
ers. Nomini Pasha admitted having ordered
Abdul Aziz to be put to death by
command of a commission composed
of Midhat Beichdi and Mahmoud
Pashas. Minbat Pasha, in long
speech, denied the existence of such
commission, and maintained that Abdul
Aziz committed suicide. He expressed re-
Rret that he had taken refuge at the French
consulate In Smyrna. Witnesses were then
examined to prove that Abdul Aziz was
murde red. The trial was then adjourned.

LONDON, June 27.-The correspondent of
the Times at st. Petersburg writes as fol-
lows: "The endeavor of the present govern
ment is to show that the wild policy of the
late government was an eminently danger
GUS one. The police are engaged In bring
ing TO light the danger which accumulated
during General Melikoff Is rule. The Reac-
tionists are making the most of the discov-
cry of dynamite mines, etc., in order to
frighten the court and secure their own po-
sition. Some surprise seems to have been
excited by the visit of General Melikoff
to Geneva. 1t Is reported that police and
spies have been detailed to watch him. The
st. Petersburg newspaper press is hated at
court because not single independent organ
favors the present governments desires.
Severe penalties have lately been imposed
upon three or four journals, and several
editors have received circulars ordering
them to submit the first proofs of their
papers to the press censor before o'clock
in the morning.

Letter from Columbia County, Fla.

DowLINe. FLA, June 26--Editor Morning
Netos: Since our last communication to you,
setting forth the attractions of this section Of
country, we have received inquiries in regard
to buying lands here. To all who anticipate
coming to Florida, would say by all means to
come to Columbia county, which is for the
most part high and rolling, with as fine ham
mock and pine lands as there are in the State,
upon which may grow almost to perfection all
the crops adapted to the South. AS for health
we defy any county in the State to produce
statistics showing less percentage of deaths
which shows that the timber business is -four
ishing. The people in this section are OF
an energetic and go-ahead disposition, and
will give cordial welcome to all who come to
cast their lot with US.
Crops are looking badly at present, as we
have had no rain OF consequence for near two
months TUsCAwILLA.
