SOME NAILS FOR A COFFIN.
A LETTER FROM w. D. O'CONNOR


O the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: If an undevOut astronomer is mad,
what 10 think OF an unveraciOus hstorianf Dr.
william F. Claiming ia the inventor OF the fire
alarm telecrsph-a system which has become an
integral part OF every American municipality
Yet. upon page 43o Of Mr. Charles Carleton
Collins historical work, "The Building Of
q Nation" find Mr.. Moses G. Farmer, Mr.. Cofins
brotherinaw. put forward as the inventor and con-
structor Mr. Farmers connection with the invention
was simply anciary and subo:dnate-he devised the
striking machines but Mr. Coffin never even mentions
DR. Claiming the inventor OF the system" Dr. Chan
nngs system as Mr. Farmer himself calls it in his
frst report OF construction ia 1851; Dr. Channin .
beautiful system as lie again calls IL further fur
nshng testimony in advance against the impudcnt claim
Get up for him by his fond relative Mr. Coffin Further
more holding doubtless with Lord Bacon that state
offered TO the less effective tkan Illus
traions placed before the eye Mr. Con takes pains to
convince his readers by presenting them on the same
page, with portrait OF Mt Farmer as the originator OF
the invention.
The story OF American National development IL Ger
tanly rather grotesquey told IL Mr. Collins treatment
Of the fire alarm is specimen Of the other statements

law that he puts his portrait IN the book, and
scentious az annalis that he scrupuously endows
him with Dr. Channing's invention-hat he knows bet

many years ago. when Mr. Farmer introduced him az his

yenor of the electric reaarmi little reflection upon
that old interview might In itself nave gwen him pause
20 think before he made his bold aud brassy claim for
M Farmer
Ihope Dr. Claiming will lose no time in publishing
and placing public Libraries for his voucher 10 the
future the mass dispositions aud other documentary
evidence which establish his rights as the inventor OF
the fre-alarm, and from which derive the following
outlines:
