Great Credit Due the Western

CHICAGO, December Tn order
to secure satisfactory observe
tiona Gt the transit Of

astronomers should have exact WssL-

was done, and that the Western Union
Telegraph Company did the service
free to ell parts, sending the time
signals for three days, it requiring the
slmOst exclusive use Of the wires all
over the country for nearly fifteen
minutes each day, This is the last day
that the transmission Of these signals
will be necessary, and although
storms In the ksst aud bliszards in
the West have dismantled the wires
the service was arranged with infinite
care and satisfactorily done. The fol.

Blind Tom.

Blind Tom ended his engagement for two
nights in this city on last night. Tom is
one of the wonders of the world He is
strange being, and there is no accounting
by any known law for his wonderful genius.
He is said to be idiotic, and beyond his sense
of sound and his wonderful faculty of re-
collection, to possess very low degree OF
intelligence. But whatever else may be
said of him, none will deny, who ever saw
and heard him at the piano forte, that he is
certainly prodigy in the fullest sense. He
has been seen and heard on both sides of
the Atlantic by perhaps millions of people,
both common and professional, to all of
whom he has doubtless been mystery only
explained upon the hypothesis that he is a
freak of nature.

A pleasant event took place last night at
the residence of Mr.. j. ]. Young, on

A large company of friends and relatives
of both families were present, and all
passed off as gaily as possible.
The parties most particularly interested
are well known in the city.
The groom is young man of good bust
ness abilities, a member of the firm
of A. L. Young & Co., merchants OF
Market Square. Miss Susie Roberts
is daughter of Mr. E. P. Roberts, for sew
eral years resident of Knoxville.
A young lady of unusual personal at

cellent qualities.
The ceremony inexperienced by Rev. R. J
Cooke, pastor of the Chnch street Metho-
dist Church, after which the company ad
journed to the dining room and did ample
justice to the good things provided.
The occasion was indeed happy one, an
we all join with the CHRONICLE in wishin,
the young couple a long life of happiness
and success.

music is playing the ship rises and falls
just as if on the rolling sea, while the waves
appear tossing around and almost over the

Obse rvations of the Transit of Venus a.
the University of Tennessee.


the University of Tennessee.
In accordance with instructions from the
Naval Observatory at Washington, Prof.
Lockett, aided by Prof. Brown, made prep
arations for observing the transit of Venus
The time element, which is of such para
mount importance, was first attended to.
Messrs Hope & Bro. loaned to the Unlver-
sity their excellent ships-chronometer,
which has been running by Washington
time for several months.
Mr.. E. J. Sanford loaned his splendid
stop-watch, and MIR. Spot. McClung volun-
teered his services to mark time with his
watch, which is likewise frst-class stop
watch, reading to ffths of seconds.
These time pieces were compared with
Washington time, by telegraph signals, at
noon, on the 5th and 9Th. The morning of
the transit was ushered in cloudy, but rift
in the clouds enabled the observers to get
the second or first internal contact with
sufficient accuracy. The exact time was
h., 48 M, SGT sec., Knoxville time.
ABOUT noon Tue bhy CiCdAOo oP, ohA "@A
the students at the university had an OPP
portunity of seeing the planet Venus i'm
print, like an ink spot on the burning disc
of the sun. Finally, as the second critical
period or egress of the planet approached,
all the students were requested to with
drawn from the vicinity of the observers.
The second internal contact took place at
b., - n., 1O4 sec Knoxville time, and the
last contact at 2 b., 81 M, 15a sec. The
last contact was perhaps little doubtful,
as the heat of the sun was SO great as to-
produce considerable vibration in the all
inclosed in the telescope.
The instrument used in the observation
was the University a inch refractor, made
byPike's Sons of New York. AS check on
the large telescope the University transit was
also used by Prof. Dinwiddie.
Although the first contact of all was los1
in the dense mist which hung in the sky il
the early morning, on the whole, Prof
Lockett thinks his observations will be o.
considerable value.
