THE PATENT OF THE BELL telephone
will expire in England in 1892, and
would expire In this country about the
same time, but the company is making
an effort to extend their monopoly by
virtue of another patent which they
have been granted. MIR. Benthuysen,
who is said TO be an expert on the sub
iect, says the courts will not allow this,
as the original patent covered the
whole. He thinks the invention will
be free to public use after the expira-
tion OF the original patent.

An r.,y Report Denied.

AL S6lJ NCpOtk AcAiSo"
The Augusta Evening Herald, of the
10th instant, published the following:
The Rev. Thomas Leitch whose SER
mons during the past two years have
startled sinners in South Carolina and
Georgia and put them on the way
towards conversion, tell himself by the
roadside last night. While saving
many from ruin by the fatal thirst for
whiskey, be himself was not able to
stand the temptation, and last night
was ordered out of the Augusta hotel
for drunkenness. The fall of this gen
tleman is to be deplored, for had he re-
NAMED on the right line and continued
his evangelical services he would have
done an immense amount OF good"
AS will be seen, the above report was
taken from an Augusta paper and the
same stoly was telegraphed to other
papers. Rev. L. L. Pickett of Colum-
bia, S. G., informed the Record OF that
city that the report Is not true. MI.
Pickett was in Augusta on the night in
question and says that he was IN MI.
Leitch's company until after o'clock
and up to that time he was In his usual
condition and he does not believe that
any thing could have occurred after
that to induce the evangelist TO become
drunk. Mr.. Pickett and Mr. Leitcb
had both been attending the NoKh
Georgia Conference and had returned
to Augusta from the sessions.

son and Mamie Dickerson. Catherine
Duffy jumped from second story WIN
dow to escape and she broke her ankle.
John Connerton and Sam Dickerson
were dangerously injured and were
taken to the hospital. They may die.
Mamie Dickerson was shot in the arm.
After shooting others Harvey placed
the muzz!e of the revolver in his mouth
and pulled the trigger and the top of
his head was blown off. John Conner
ton died before reaching the hospital.
Only two days ago Harvey was dis
charged from the Flatbush Insane Asy-
lum as cured and Immediately went to
board with Mrs. Duffy at 1873 Van Dyke
street. The family lived on the second
floor of the four-story tenement. Short
ly after noon today, while at dinner
crazy fit came suddenly upon Harvey
again; he jumped from the table, Tan to
the bureau and snatched from the open
drawer a thirty-tWo calihre British bull
dog revolver and began firing into the
crowd at the table. The first shot struck
John Connerton in the head and in less
than five minutes he was dead. The
second bullet laid Samuel DIckerson
| low. Young Dickerson and Mary
Dickerson Of 5S2 Clinton street, had
come to visit Mrs. Duffy. DickeTson
was shot through the right arm. He
made for the window and before the
maniac could fire again jumped out.
Miss Dickerson's turn came next. The
crazy assassin's bullet bored hole in
her right hand. She ran out in the hall
way crying murder" Mrs. Duffy, who
was in the next room, hearing shots
and cries and suspecting the truth,
jumped out of the window at once and
sprained her ankle in the fall. Beng
then alone the maniac turned the weap-
on on himself.

That ofContestins Seats OF Certain DEM
ocratic Senator'S.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 19.-The
published statements that the republi-
can senator's have virtually decided to
contest the seats of Senators Hill, Brice
and Whyte attracted some attention
among the senators today. A careful
inquiry fails to disclose anything like
an organized movement in that direc-
ton and ID fact, it appears that the re-
publican senators have as yet gwen the
subject little thought. So far as Sena-
tor Hills seat ID concerned, it is believed
that when be presents himself to take
the oath OF office an objection may be
forthcoming from MS colleague, Senator
lilScock based on the charge that Sena-
Jor Hill has lost the title to his seat by
abandonment. The question so based
would be purely legal, and some of the
republican senators who would be re-
CURED TO pass upon 1t as members Of
Inc committee on privileges and elec-
tIoas, say IL would be disposed OF, if
presented, without regard to political
considerations.
A republican senator today said the
contention ID regard to Hills case Will
be substantially as follows: That his
continuing to hold until after the 4th OF
March, 1881, (when ne was entitled to BIZ
senator) an Office admittedly incompati-
bic With the senatorship, operated as
remuneration OF Che latter, and that ii it
has not already done so an important
question arises as to how long one can
hold the goYernorshlp and keep. the
senator's position vacant.
The foundation for the story touch
ing BrIce's seat seems, so TAI as ascer
tanned, to refer to the action Of Senator
Sherman when the credentials were pre-
Sented.
AS to Senator Whyte, of Louisiana,
it can not be learned that there is any
intention on the part Of the republican
leaders to make contest based on
charges OF illegal voting.
