Who Invented the Telephone

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The final argu-
ments were heard to-day before Judge Wal
lace in the United States circuit court in the
suit between the American Bell Telephone
and the Peoples Telephone companies. The
question to be determined is whether Prof.
A. G. Bell or Daniel Draubaugh was the
first inventor of the speaking telephone.
Among the counsel representing the Peo-
ples' Telephone company is Senator Ed
munds, Of Vermont The arguments In
behalf Of the Bell Telephone company were
begun By J. j. Starrow. He called attention
to the mass Of evidence already taken, and
explained the principle on which the tele-
phone was constructed. Ex-senator Conk-
ling is also one of the counsel in the case.

BROWN TOOK 1T UP,

Lucas Held in 81, O00-Minor
Cases.

"Now then, Mr.. Brown, you are charged
with fighting Mr.. Smith on Third street,
guilty or not guilty. Intercepted hizzoner
of the immortal Smith and Brown yesterday
morning. Mr.. Brown who had a lonely
dado on his nose said that they had had a
scrap. Mr.. Smith called him liar and as he
wasn't that kind of a man he took it up.
The court said they ought to be ashamed of
themselves and they were fined fifteen bills
each.
'You are charged with forgery" said the
court as Chas. Lucas, little fellow with
gimlct eyes and bullet head, stood up in
front Of the forum. Lucas is the enterpris-
inc young man who obtained number of
paper bags from p. II. Kelly and others by
means OF forged orders. When asked if he
was guilty he said that he went down and
got the bags, whereupon he was held to the
grand jury and committed in default Of
s., 600 bail.
Anthony Palor was charged with disorderly
conduct. The officer said that he went INTO
Dakota avenue saloon and knocked two
men silly, when the saloon keeper ran out
and yelled murder. Palor said that he had
knocked two men down, when he was as
sessed SEQ or twenty days.
VIM. Thon engaged a rig Sunday, filed up
on tanglefoot and started out to paint the
landscape crimson. He managed to run

bloody frescoe GU his cheek. A beautiful
medallion also adorned his bugle, and he

some beer, and that the trouble was caused
by the lines getting under the horses tail.
The court thought the excuse TOO thin

large bills or thirty days.
John Troehet barely escaped being a pc

that he is almost an imbecile. On his fore

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
A Largely Attended Meeting Of the
Board of Directors.

The meeting of the board of directors of
the chamber of commerce was well attended
{ Yesterday morning, though nothing of any
special interest transpired.
I'd i, MORE ELECTION PRECINCTS NEEDED.
The subcommittee of the executive COM
mittee made a report which will be found
below in favor of increasing the election
precincts in st. Paul, which was adopted
and the secretary was directed to send the
same to the city council:
To the Board of Directors of the Chamber of
Commerce:
The special committee, to whom was re-
ferred the matter of election precincts in the
city of st. Paul have had the same under
consideration and find that the whole num-
Der of election precincts is seventeen only,
and the voting places in each are as indicated
in the list hereto attached, and that the legal
vote of the city cannot be polled without great
loss of time to the industrial classes, and
n our Judgment cannot be polled at all
the time that the polls can lawfully be
kept open; that the increased expense of
largely increasing the number of precincts
is insignificant when compared with the loss
of time and wages by the laboring classes re-
sulting from the long distance that many of
Ilem LDuSG IIdNcl W ICdCu luC bOIluS pidCCc,
and the delay then made necessary by the
crowded condition of the polls.
The fact, too. should be kept constantly in
mind that in a government like ours the
right of every citizen TO cast his vote with
the least annoyance and delay is of inesti-
mable value and should be treated as mat
ter of primary Importance by all municipal
governments.
II is impossible to cast the 10000 votes Of
the city in seventeen precincts.
We therefore recon mend that the number
of precincts be increased to at least thirty
two, and the voting places in the new pre-
cincts be so located as to be most convenient
to artizans, mechanics and laborers of all
classes, and that of the additional precincts,
four be located in the Fifth ward, with one
as far east on Seventh street as
the point where said street abuts upon the
line of the Canada road; that four be located
IN the Fourth ward, with the voting place of
one as far west on Seventh street as Stahl-
mans brewery, and one north of the Mani
toba railroad near the railroad shops; that
two additional precincts be formed in the
First ward, one additional in the Second, two
additional in the third, and two additional in
the Sixth, in such manner as most to accom-
modate the voters in those wards.
Respectfully submitted,

all damages in the promises; the grading of
state street from Oakdale avenue to Susan
street, and lot of cross and sidewalks in
different parts of the city.
In the matter of changing the grade OF
Concord street from Isabel to Susan street.
the council were voted to be asked to send
profile Of the proposed change to the board.
A petition of thirteen property owners on
the west side of Ohio street from Fairfield
avenue to Martin street, was received pro-
testing against the construction of a six-foot
sidewalk on the west side Of said Ohio street
against their property, for the reason that
such walk cannot be laid to grade to the pro-
perry line except at very great expense for
grading and excavating, amounting TO thou
sands of dollars, which expense said
property owners cannot stand at the
present time; for the reason that if said
said street is not exeavated and graded the
sidewalk must be laid for large portion
thereof in the street; stating that a three
plank sidewalk is amply sufficient for the
present needs of travel, and asking the
board to modify the order for LAYING 8 side
walk to correspond with their wishes and in
terests- The board, in response to this pc
tition, voted to address the following CON-
munication TO the council:

Death of Mai. D. W. Bryan

Last summer there came to this
camp n little old gentleman, named
d. w. Bryan, who lived here un-
til last Tuesday night, when about
10 o'clock he died. While here
he made many acquaintance, but
as to his antccedants he was very
reticent. His health wos poor and
his disposition seemed to have
been soured. Occasionally he
would be in an amiable mood, but
his normal social behavior betray
cd the nature of a crank, being pc
wish, tretful and morose. lie la
bored under the impression that he
had the asthma, but he wastlle vic
tim of consumption and died there
from. From letters found in his
valise after death it is revealed
that in the 70's he was heavily en-
gagged in INNING IN Texas, Colora-
do and California, and lost heavily
in his ventures, also that in those
days he was a literary man and
contributor to literary journals of
the east. All his correspondence
