PRIORITY OF INVENTION.
Decision of the Commissioner of Patents
in the Telephone Transmitter Case.

Decision of the Commissioner of Patents
in the Telephone Transmitter Case.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE recent i'm
portant decision of the Commissioner of Pat
ents in the telephone transmitter case is just
made public. The case came before the Com
missioner on an appeal from the decision of
the Examiner. The case is Daniel Drawback
against Adolph Eccard, claiming priority of
invention of the telephone transmitter. The
Examiner awarded priority of invention to
Eccard, and subsequently Drawback filed 4
motion for reopening the case on the
strength of ewly-discovered evidence OF the
priority of his invention. The Examiner
refused to reopen the case, on the ground
that with reasonable diligence the APP
pellant could have produced the alleged
new evidence at the former hearing. The
Commissioner, in everything this decision,
holds that though it may appear that with
proper diligence Drawback might have pro-
duced this evidence at the last hearing of the
case, yet sGch showing, while it would mill
tate against his motion for a new trial in
courts at law, cannot be held sufficient to
prevent reopening a case in the Patent Office.
The syllabus of. the Commissioners decision
is that as the questions to be decided in
the Patent,Office are who is the prior inventor
and to whom should the patent issue, it is
necessary that testimony material to estab-
fish who was the prior inventor and who
first reduced the invention to practice, should
be received at any time before the patent
issues Where the case has been decided.
however, on testimony already taken, it will
not be reopened for the taking of further
testimony unless it be made to appear that
such testimony, if introduced, will con-
clusively fix the date of the completed in
vention, and thereby determine the question
of priority. A motion for reOpening case,
or for new trial in the Patent Office. is not
to be determined by the same laws which OBJ
tain in courts at law.

REV. STEPHEN Fl. TYING, SIR.
The venerable Preacher Complete Physi-
cal and Mental Wreck

New YoRK, July IA reporter called
upon Rev. DIR. Stephen H. Tying, sr, at
his home in Irvlngton-on-the-Hu d-
son. He was found seated on
a rustic chair under shade tree on a grassy
lawn. AT his feet kneeling upon the grass.
was his little granddaughter holding one of
ms hands in hers while she prattled with him
IN her childish way. Although sadly
impressed by his bent form and the wasted,
plnched face OF the divine, much more sad
was the impression made on the visitor by
the reply OF DR.. Tying, indicating, as
1t did, his mental state. Raising his
trembling, emaciated right arm he pointed
toward the western horizon, and, in an I'M
steady and piping voice. exclaimed Over
there! See. Just across the river in the beau
tiful clouds They are calling me, but 1
can't come just yet | must wait until my
work is finished here. l will then go and
render my account"
Unrestraiaed, he talked in this vein for
while, but he soon became oblivious to the
presence of his visitors, and, when he had
continued his rambling remarks for some
time, his little attendant gently led him, like
little child just learning its steps, toward the
house. Dr. Tyng's hallucination is that he
is still rector of st. Georges Church, still in
possession of his former physical strength
and undimmed mental powers, and that
he is still preaching regular Sunday
sermons in that church, and during the week
is engaged in good work OF visiting pray
ing with and supplying the wants of the
poor and needy among his parishioners
The golden wedding of DR.. Tying will be
celebrated tomorrow Wednesday,

Crook, instead of capturing the hostile
Apaches, had been their captive and was re-
leased on condition that he would receive
their return UNPUBLISHED to the reservation
was news to him; that he had never heard
lch thing lntimated before and, as far as
he knew, General Crook had been very sue
sessful in his campaign against the Indians.
During the Secretary's vacation he had not
devoted much time to keeping himself posted,
and was comparatively ignorant of what had
been transpiring. Several army officials who
we're questioned on the subject, we're of the
opinion that the course pursued by General
Crook toward the hostile Indians would only
-csulti in their feeling themselves independent
md free to come and go as they saw fit. At
.cution was called to the fact that the re-
naming bucks had not yet surrendered, and
lie opinion prevailed that General Crook
0ould have TO 90 after them again.
