A Board of Naval officers, Report.
Following is an abstract from copy of
the original report of board of United
States naval officers convened by order of
the secretary of the navy to examine and
report on the uses of the Townshend
double-refecting and repeating circle, man
ufactured of aluminium instead of brass,
the same being the invention of our towns
man, Captain Charles H. Townshend.
Tho whele report being quite lengthy,
and which refers to former reports from
boards of army and navy officers, detail
has been omitted for brevity.
Enclosure to No. 1880 Copy.
Forwarded. II. B. Robson, captain, command
ing. u S. S. Chicago, first rate.
NEW ORLEANS, February 16, 1891.
Sir-In obedience to your order Of December
II, 1890, a copy of which is appended, marked A,
we have examined the doubfe-refecting and re-
Of
by him for our examination.
The Aluminium instrument is extremely light,
simDle, and convenient for the measurement of
horizontal angles.
With the Townshend double-refecting circle
doubtless all that can be done with the sextant
can be accomplished; but, in addition, the form
er affords means for measuring simultaneously,
with one instrument, right and left hand hori-
We are Of the opinion the Townshend double
rejecting circle possesses the following elements
of superiority over the seA3ant.
First In affording means for the simultaneous
measurement, by one observer, of right and left
hand horizontal angles.
Second, In measuring the right hand without
inverting the circle
The first is a considerable advantage in many
cases for locating buoys, for fixing or finding
positions, when perhaps but one observer is
available.
The second is positive advantage under any
circumstances
We believe that for purposes of fixing positions
by the three point problem at times, when the
number of observers is limited, the Townshend
doubleref1ecting circle will prove very valuable
and a desirable addition to the allowance of re-
fecting instruments on board ship.
Lieutenant Fullam having been detached from
this ship some weeks since, this report is not
signed by him.
Very respectfully,
R. P. RODGERS, Lieutenant.

Diphtheria VS.. Fourth of July.
A Hartford sanitarian complains to the
Post as follows:
The diphtheria epidemic in East Hartford and
Hartford should remind medical men, city faith
ratus, operated by board of health, is necessary
in a city of IS, 900.
Above all a cremation furnace for rubbish
street sweepings, swill, and the refuse of butch
cries, as well as animals which die of disease is
desirable. The plant for such a furnace would
cost but $500, and 81, eco year for the neces-
sary operat ors.
Such necessities we seem to resign in favor of
$1,5O0 fireworks. As the French say, "Why have
the necessary, when you can have the super
f1uous?"
The police commissioners tell us there is no
money for q police matron, but the city council
votes $500 for fireworks.

EIGHT MILLIONS IN WAITING.

Refrain From Calling For It-Gen-

EIGHT MILLIONS IN WAITING.
But the Heirs of Robert Morris
Refrain From Calling For It-Gen.
eral Dwight Morris One OF These
Heirs.
The life and history of Robert Morris,
the hero and financier of the Revolution,
was one full of interest. Emigrating to
this country from England when a young
man he took great interest in American
politics, and when the movement broke
out he furnished much of the financial
support to carry on the strife. By his
prodigious efforts he managed to raise
sufficient funds to keep up the great
struggle. At one time when it became
urgently necessary to raise money, Morris
made a supreme effort and man
aged to collect $1,500,O00 for the
Colonial cause. In these efforts in
behalf of his country Morris lost all
of his own fortune and the unsettled state
of affairs and the bankrupt condition of
the treasury following the Revolutionary
war made it impossible for the govern
ment to pay back the money that Robert
Morris and so many others had advanced.
In the year 1926 Morris died poor man,
never having been able to get from the
government return of the money due
him. Not until four years ago did con
gress take action towards discharging this
indebtedness, and it was then decided to
pay to the heirs of Robert Morris the
81 500, 900, together with the aeerued in
terest, amounting in all to $S,000,000.
The hunt for the heirs then commenced,
but not one member of the proud old
colonial family would come forward and
claim his or her share of this great
amount. When Robert Morris died he
left three sons, Samuel, James and Joseph.
James Morris was the father of Hon.
Dwight Morris of Bridgeport. 1t will
therefore be seen that Hon. Dwight Morris
is own grandson of the great Revolution
airy hero, and a direct ineal heir to the
$4,000 900 lying in the United States
Treasury awaiting the call of claimants
A Bridgeport Farmer reporter called upon
Attorney Morris at his law Office in the
Sturdevant building, and in conversation
that gentleman said: II could settle the
whole question very quickly if I wished
to, as I have proofs and papers in my pos
session that would clear up all matters of
doubt in the case"
"Why don't you make a demand for
your share of that So, 900, OOO?" was the re-
porter's query. It was then that the
proud family spirit arose in the old gentle
| man, and with a disdainful look and
gesture he said: IT would not touch the
money and, furthermore, I do not think
there is single member Of our family that
| will"
Attorney Morris then showed the Farmer
representative brief history of the life of
his father, James Morris, who was grad
uate Of Yale college and lieutenant of the
Revolutionary war.
