Hartford Times correspondence For the first time in the history of the town house, which dates back to the days of Washington and Lafayette, an inmate has been forcibly abducted from that institu- tion, it is alleged, by members of the Sal vation Army. Consequently there is at present war between the Salvation Army and the town authorities. The army for some time has numbered among it's mem bers young man not considered over bright, who resided with friends in this city. He has recently refused to work i; has been with the army at all hours of the day and night, and hisfriends were obliged to place him in charge of the town, think ing that he would be away from the influ- ence of the army at the town house. As he was loud singer, a member of the band, etc., he was prominent attraction at the meeting in their hall, and his ab- sence was great loss to the army.

That evening he appeared in the street parade, with great success, and the members of the army were happy.

Henry Talbot has been at work upon revolving magazine gun over twenty-five years. and now expects to complete it in 1890. It is strikingly different from any arm now made, and will take the lead over all by it's simplicity and rapidity as an army gun. MT. Talbot, some twenty five years ago. spent two summers and $3, GOO at Colts works, Hartford, on revolving gun, which proved of no use whatever. From one tc | 25 cartridges canlbe placed in the stock tc be drawn out by revolving magazine which he claims to be the most simple anG perfect of any gun manufactured. One novel feature of the arm is the extracting of the cartridge which is thrown from the under side. He is the first inventor of tht slide movement now used on the Colt anG Spencer guns. He conceived the idea O revolving arm while residing in the Mo doc regions about the time of the Modo' war, he having been resident of the min eral regions of California and Nevada. H' is perfecting the arm on limited means making every part with his own hands ant from tools of his own invention and manu facture, equaling any machine work dom iu this state. He is always ready to shoy his work to any one who will call at hi log cabin.
