A BRILLIANT INVENTION.
By one Of Yale,s Moss Beloved Profes.
 ROFg.

By one Of \ ale,s Most Beloved Profes- To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 It is fact well known to scientific men that the typographical survey of British government and the most important instru- in use is the conception of Prof. Lyman, of Yale college, whose brilliant ability as an astronomer has lit up the whole scientific world with lustre as from a star of the first magnitude. Said United States Naval Officer of high rank and noted scientific at- taiment. This invention of Prof. Lyman, of Yale college, you may well be proud of and for description of the transit instru- ment and Zenith telescope combined see "Loomis Practical Astronomy"
 The instrument was manufactured by Mir. Edward Kahler, and designed by MT. J. A. Rogers in 1S78-size 30 inches focal length, with object glass of two and one-half inches clear aperture, and is so constructed that the eye piece is at one end of the horizontal axis, prism at the juncture of the telescope tube and axis rehecting at right angle the rays from the object glass, thereby enabling the observer to direct the instrument to stars of any zenith distance without changing position.
 The tripod and vertical cylinder above are of cast-iron and the rest of metal bronze
 "Prof. Lyman's 'sgreat invention was the combination of these two instruments in one by MT. J. A. Rogers who designed my in- strument and was pupil of Prof Lyman
 We have been informed that after Prof. Lyman's combination of instruments had been brought out and successfully used by the government; the Professor happened to be passing through London and SO strong was the desire of several scientific gentlemen to see himself who were fitting out topo- graphical expedions, that they at once sought for the American Professor who had done so much for science and from him learned how to construct this one which is now doing such valuable work in India. c.

REYNOLDS RENoMINATED.

The Democratic Town Convention.
 It was shortly after o'clock when the
 Democratic town convention came to order.
 Attorney T. J. Fox was unanimously chosen
 chairman. Mir. Fox made brief speech. in
 which he stated that he trusted the conven-
 tion would be harmonious one and that a
 ticket would be nominated that would be
 elected. He said in large city like New
 Haven, with such large Democratic msjori-
 ty, the Democrats were liable to be some-
 what recreant at times and that they were
 not so vigilant to protect their interests as
 they ought to be. He thought that after losing the national ticket it was time that the Democrats put their shoulders to the wheel, rallied their scattered forces and la bor to save the local offices for the party. s'Let no man vote for nominee of if he did not feel that he could be elected. If you nominate man simply to knock him down at the polls you are traitors and not true Democrats. If you nominate man go to the polls and see that he is elected"
 James B. Wells was chosen secretary. Henry w. Sanford, Thomas F. McGrail and Henry Farrell were appointed telIers.
 Attorney James P. Pigott wanted to make after-remarks. said that four years ago, when the democrats were celebrating clubs all over the country. As result he said, the republicans had recently celebrated their victory. Now the republicans oon- ! trolled everything in the State. MT. Pigott offered the following resolutions:
 Resolved, that the chairman of each ward dele gation be appointed committee to supervise the
 privilege of the ticket to be placed in nomination
 tonight with instructions to substitute by major i ity vote of said committee the of Democrat in place of that of any person, who, having been nominated by the convention shall be placed in nomination by any other party; and be it further
 Resolved, that said committee shall be subject to l town committee and said committee, when so sum- noned shall have power to adjourn from time to | time as expectancy may suggest

Entertainment
 


 This charming English commedienne made decided hit in New Haven on Thanksgiving day. From her first appearance upon the stage till the final fall of the curtain, it was manifest that she was enchanting the eyes and ears of everybody. Everything about her presentation of the double bill was emi- nently artistic and full of feminine grace of the most captivating kind In fact. the due to the matured wonanly character and bearing which is a chief part of her distinct personality. "After, /" in which Miss Barry assumes the role of Madge Oli phant, is light artistic piece that finely fits her style of acting; but she is seen in fuller development in "A Woman's Stratagem." A spirit of nieety and refinement pervades her entire work, and breathes it's delightful in- Huence everywhere. She is an actress that every refined American should see and enjoy.

SARDINIA, O., Nov. 30. The White Caps did brutal work last night in meting out their alleged justice to Mrs. Anpa Jester and her grown daughter, living two miles south of here. The women have not borne 6 good reputation.

There is every likelihood that sixth club will be added to the league, and that the Springfelds will go back to New Bedford. The new club is the Boston team, and man. ager Clark wanted to be located at Fall Riv- CT. Managers Clark and Bancroft make a fair offer. If the league will consent to this change they will pay the expenses of all the teams going beyond Springfield. Bancroft says his team can't live in Springfield, the rink is too small

He warned the unionists to watch MT. Gladstone, who, he said, was showing ten dency to accept the extremest views of the separatists. There was growing in MT.

 dreds-Tho Work of am Incendiary.
 DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 30.--The Journals special from Calumet, Mich, says: "Fire was discovered at the eighth level of No. shaft of the Calumet branch of the Calumet and Hecla mine this morning. A large party of men were working at the time of the fire, which, when discovered, had made such progress that the smoke was terribly dense, and their lives were in great danger. All made 8 rush for the surface, but eight men are missing. Nothing is known of their whereabouts. They were working 1,700 feet deep or in the main engine-shaft, and it is supposed that, smelling the smoke, they tried to escape and were smothered.
 THE MINE WAS SET ON FIRE.
 Over one hundred men were in this portion of the mine at the time, but escaped. The missing men are Joseph Masaler, Antonio Kattlarers, John Vanderbilt, Andrew Hanson and two others, names unknown, Polander and @ Findlander The eight-hour shaft men went through No. 3 at 10 o'clock, bat saw no fire. That it is the work of an incendiary is believed by all.
 Immense volues of smeke are issuing from the burning shaft. The fire must burn itself out, and it may take weeks and even months unless it can be flooded, which is hardly probable.
