Telegraph Wonders.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: CT. Catlin
of the legal department of the Omaha,
Yesterday received q letter from his
brother, who is chief operator in the
New York Office of the Western Union
company. explaining to him the work
ing of the synchronous multiplex tele-
graph, recently invented by p. i. De
laney and e. \. Callahan. The system
may be used for sending six messages
simultaneously in II direction and
e one wire, OF sending three and re-
ceiving three. The most wonderful
part Of the new system is an arrange
ment by which seyenty-two firms in
New York may be put in communica-
ton With q like number in Boston, on
one main Wire, each firm using the wire
| at the same time. This is done with
the printing telegraph. No calling is
necessary, and no operator is required
| The messages are printed upon slips OF
paper, and await The brokers' perusal
when he comes in, should he happen tc
be out at the time the message is re.
ceived. a company to Introduce the
invention has been formed, and tho
building Of wires already begun.

1t is not admission so much as division

lota generally should desire division.
There is sound reason in this desire.

widely separated must differ, and the

A Dangerous Place.

Mary land avenue is now being grad.
ed from the works Of w. Y. Warner
TO the city line, and the contractor,
Martin keogh, has thrown up an EN-.
bankment on one side, leaving a place
about 100 feet in epsth, through which
not more than one team can pass at a
time.
About o'clock last evening, a far
mer with a two horse wagon loaded
with produce came in over the Newport
pike and was passing through this cut
on his way 10 This city, when he met
another wagon, and in epdeavoriug to
turn out TO let il pass, ran up on the
EN- bankment. When he undertook to
regain the road, the wagon came down
with sufficient force TO break the front
wheel, and he was obliged to remain
there the greater part Of the night.
There were no lights, or danger signals
displayed by the contractor, as required
by law, and the Street Com missioner
should see that this matter is attended
TO without delay, or the city may have
to stand several suits for damages.

THE OTHER SIDE.
A Story Truthfully Told by An
Injured Wife.


On the Goth Of July an article up
peared in the Morning News, In rela
ticn to the infelicity that ex listed be
tween q couple of young married peo
pie. The story was related In the alb
sence of the wife, who knew nothing
about the affair until recently. She
says 1t Is true that over year ago her
husband built himself a comfortable
dwelling house, at Franklin and Maple
streets, and lived with his wife several
months. The wife then relates the
story In her own way az follows
Her husband got out Of work and went
to Philadelphia TO work. Her husband
here made SIC week, which she
thought quite sufficient to keep two
persons in comfortable circumstances
When he went to Philadelphia he said
he was to get SIS week. He ac-
|cordingly gave notice that his property
was for rent as soon as tenant could
be found. The wife, however, while
satisfied with family OF one or two
children was not satisfied to rent IL to
a family with five children, as her
husband had done. No particular
time was mentioned To give posses.
sion.
The house was shut up and the wife
was sent to her fathers in Delaware
County, Pa, to board, as the husband
said he could not take her to Philadel.
phia because 1t would cost too much
for board. kilograms were sent TO the
wife TO come down to Wilmington and
clear the house Of the goods as the
honse was rented, hut she never got the
elegrams. In the mrantime the ten.
ants came to take possession of the
house and found 10 shnt. ard were
compelled To se.l Temporal v resi-.
dence in friend. house. Word was
Then sent TO the owner in Philadelphia
81 this state of affairs, when he came
20 Wilmington, broke into the house
through window and after giving the
family possession stored some of the
goois away, sold some, and others he
gave TO some neighbors. Amongst them
were some pots of flowers he gave
away.
. The wife in the meantime received
word from an auntin Wilmington about
how things. were going, which was the
Drst intimation she had of what was
going on. She FASTENED to the scene Of
the trouble, collected up the pos Of
flowers, emptied the contents into the
street and carried off the pots. She also
gathered up n table, rugs and some
other articles her husband had sold
but afterwards returned them when
she found the parties had paid for
hem.
The wife then thought that as she
had been living over three months with
her father, and not having in that time
received a cent Of money from her hus-
hand, who said he was getting SlS a
week, that it was about time some.
hing should be done. She wrote to
Der husband to come and see her, but
re only responded by writing abusive
etters to which he was ashamed to
'ign his name. The wife then had him
arrested for desertion, and had him
edged in Media Jail, where for anvil
hing she knows of he is at this time
Without like lihood of getting bail on
account of being too well known.
