DECORATION DAY.
Impressive Ceremonies Over the Soldiers
Graves at The City Cemetery.

Decoration Day opened up bright,
and early this morning preparations
begun for the ceremonies.
1t was decided to decorate the nu-
merous Confederate graves in the
City cemetery this morning. The
floral offerings wereLin the hands of
the committee by 10 O'Clock and
were sent to the cemetery in wagons.
Forbes Bivouac met at the court
house at 1890 o'clock, and after the
preliminaries, formed in a body,
and drove. to the City Gem
etery. A large crowd of represent
alive citizens was on hand to aid the
Bivouac in the program.
AT THE CEMETERY,
Arriving at the beautiful City
cemetery, where sleep SO many Con-
federate soldiers, Forbes Bivouac
formed on top of the hill inside the
enclosure and marched to the south
east corner of the cemetery.
The services here were opened with
prayer by DIR. Sears, the venerable
and greatly beloved chaplain Of the
BivOuac. He offered a touching
prayer, after which the choir sang
"Auld Lang Syne" with marked eff
feet. Capt Smith then explained to
the crowd that the Bivouac had but
recently learned that Confederate
dead were buried in this part of the
cemetery. They were brought here
from Forts DonelsOn and Henry and
died in the hospitals. Their names
were unknown, but their deeds were
remembered, and to-day their graves
were to be strewn with flowers.
The committee on Decoration then
took charge of the work, and aided
by handsome ladies and pretty little
girls, the pleasant task was soon COM
pleted.
The crowd was next invited to the
northern part of the cemetery, where
the graves there were soon strewn
with flowers.
The choir sang "Tenting on the
Old Camp Ground" and several old
soldiers were seen to wipe tears from
their eyes as the song carried them
back to days of yore.
After the song Capt. Crusman said
that nothing so warns the heart OF
an eX-confederate soldier as to know
that the boys and girls are with them.
He then in a happy style introduced
Miss Sallie Gill, who recited the
"SentinePs song,' by Father Ryan.
The piece was rendered in an excel
lent manner and at its close the
young lady was showered with con-
CALCULATIONS. The crowd was then
dismissed and returned to the city
for dinner.
This evening the graves in Green.
wood Cemetery will be decorated, a
full account of which will appear in
to morrOW's issue.

An Important Telephone Patent Issued.

Yesterday the United States patent Office issued
patent TO Emile Berliner, assignor to the Bell
Telephone Company, for a combined telegraph
and telephone, which has been pending in that
Office since June 4, 1877. 1t is understood that
the Bell Telephone Company believes that this
patent covers features which are necessary to
the practical use of telephones 1t is stated
however, that some inventors do not take
that view Of the patent. They think
that when Bells basic patent expires. March Z.
1893, they will be able to produce practical
telephones not infringing the Berliner patent.
The Issue of this patent is the second step taken
by Commissioner Simonds and possibly the
last which it will be necessary to take TO prac-
fcally dispose of long-existing tangle of tele
phone litigation in the patent office The
FIRST step was his decision Of October 20, 1891.
lately published. denying a telephone patent
to Daniel Drawbaugh on his 1880 application.
because that invention had been in public use
Tor more than two years prior to that applca-
ton and also because the Supreme Court had
decided that Drawbaugh did not invent the
telephone. Berhpers application has been in
a number OF interferences with other applica-
tons, among others with one Of Edison's, from
1873 TO 1886. For 4 number of years last past
IT has been held in the office BY the application
OF Drawbaugh it being necessary to put it into
interference herewith if Drawbaugh other
wise established his right to patent, which he
failed to do.
1t is stated that with Drawbaugh out of the
way the Berliner patent was entitled to issue AS
a matter of course. Every other question in
the case was finally adjudicated years ago.
