Indication that that vessel also is doomed to
destruction.

EDISON HAS A RIVAL.

DR.. Rories Perfects an Electrical Inven-
tion for Masnifyins Sound.
SNoHoMIsH, Wash, Nov. 17.-Mr. Edi'
son will have to look to his laurels in
view of marvellous electrical inven'
ton which has been made here rivaling
the work of the wizard of Menlo Park.
The inventor is DIR. William Bories
who has worked for ten years on the in
vention.
The main feature of the instrument is
it's power of magnifying sound. 1t is
something like stethoscope, and is
being usel to sound the pulls ations of
the heart.
The battery which runs the machine
is in four cups, which are suff cient to
strongly charge it with electricity.
Polar batteries transmit the electricit y
from the battery cups to the machine,
which is very simple in appearance,
seeming to be only a sounding board, a
foot square, with two carbons attached
to the wire that connect with the battery
on one side and with the earphone wires
on the other.
If watch is placed on the SCUM ding
board. or if the sounding board is
placed on the chest of an individual, the
machine will greatly magnify the tick
ing of the watch or the beating of the
heart.
If one talks or coughs against the
board their voioo will be greatly magni-
fed. If finger be rubbed over one of
the screws or on the sound board it will
emit sound through the earphone like
the buzz of a sawmill.
Whenever friction is produced by rub
bling on the board or by the vibration of
sound continuous and brilliant light
is produced between the two carbons.
This wonderful machine can be con-
nected with any telephone system, and
it will greatly aid physicians in exam
lining their patients when they cannot
visit them in person.
DR.. Bories made every part of this
wonderful machine with his own hands,
and expects to improve it by making it
smaller and less cumbersome. He has
christened it the 'stetophone."

PLYMOUTH, N. H., Nov. 17.-Frank
Almy, slayer of Christie Warden,
pleaded guilty of his crime in the Court
House here yesterday. He was brought
from Manchester guarded by four
officers. He looked haggard and walked
with the aid of crutches. Eighty special
jurors had been called for the trial, the
prisoner having first pleaded not guilty.
The silence in the courtroom, only
broken by the questions and answers,
was awful. The murderer himself was
as cool as ice until he tried to say that
ominous word guilty" Even his
nerve was then shaken. His clasped
He swallowed big lump in his throat.
Then out it CONGRATULATIONS and
loud
Almy was taken from the Manchester
Jail to Plymouth in special car.
At Concord and Laconia hundreds of
excited, gesticulating men, women and
children climbed all over the special car,
mounted the platforms, ascen ded wood
piles and took every vantage spot from
which they could see the face of Almy.
When Almy went up to be arraigned,
he was fed at almost every station. He
had no such luck this time.
notwithstanding the plea of guilty,
evidence in proof of Almy's guilt will be
taken to-day, and within two or three
days Almy will know his fate. The i'm
preston here is that he abs saved his
neck and that he will be sentenced to
not over 80 years. imprisonment. This
impression is causing some excitem ent
among the naturally quiet citizens of tie
New Hampshire hills.
At midnight Almy was hanged in
effigy by the citizens from rope
stretched across the principal street.
The figure had this inscription in red
paint blazoned upon it:
''Almy-this was done by friends of
Christie Warden. Will take the original
next
The effigy has framework of wood,
neck, arms, body and legs. A white
face is partially concealed by a black
cap. A full suit of clothes adorns the
figure. The boots are nailed on to the
feet.
After Almy pleaded guilty Judge Doe
directed that the 80 special jurymen be
dismissed. Acknowledgement Barnard
says that all the evidence so far accu-
INFLATED by the State will, unless the
Court decides to pass sentence without
hearing it, be put in.
The law of New Hampshire says that
in case a man who pleads guilty shall
be found to have committed murder in
the first degree he shall be hanged. If,
however, he be convicted of murder in
the second degree, he may be sentenced
to Imprisonment for not over 30 years
and for term as much less as the pre-
siding justice may see fit to impose
