A Convenient House Letter-Box In

More Help Employed all Along the

the Rhode Island Mills mt Present.

George f. Beckett, a letter carrier in the
PROVIDENCE Post Office, has secured a
patent on a letter box invented by him
some time ago. The invention relates TO
letter boxes such as are adapted to be
conveniently attached TO residences for
the reception of private mail matter. 1t
consists of a frame portion and self
closing box or receptacle pivoted thereto.
and is provided with hinged bottom.
The object is TO provide letter box to
facilitate the delivery OF mail matter. 1t
Is comparatively inexpensive and forms
"A safe holder for letters, papers, etc. IL
is so constructed and arranged that the
outside of the auxiliary movable box may
be utilized for door plate. The box
itself is pivoted so that IL returns auto
matically to its normal position after
being opened. 1t tisprovided with hinged
bottom, catches being used 20 secure il
in fixed position when desired. Bv
means OF this device when the box
is in position person IN the
hall can readily ascertain whether letters
have been left by the carrier. To pre-
vent an accumulation of mail matter in
the box at any time, the bottom may be
left open so that such matter falls to the
floor. BY little device the box can be
locked so that il cannot be opened from
the outside. IL will be readily seen that
this style of box is great improvement
over the door letter boxes now in vogue
as the whole box is on the inside OF the
inner door frame secure from depreda-
tors Mail matter to be mailed may be
left in the box and collected by the car
rier while he is delivering other matter
The advantages are obvious

DEACON ASSAII.S HIS WIFE.

Suit for Divorce Commenced in the
French Courts.
"a PARIS, July %, 1S92.-Mr. Edward
Parker Deacon has begun an action
against his wife, charging her with
adultery. The action has been institu-
ted, it is said. in order to enable MIR.
Deacon to get possession of the children
upon his release from prison.
The failure on the part of President
Carnot to pardon Mr.. Deacon has caused
much comment, and it is said that the
relatives of NJ. Abeille are exerting a
powerful influence to prevent Deacon's
release and to secure the inflction of the
full penalty imposed upon him by the
court.
Advices from Nice state that Mr..
Deacon is in good health and bears his
confinement with patience. He is deter
mined as much as ever upon complete
separation from his wife, and will enforce
his petition for divorce the moment he is
at liberty.
Mr.. Deacon is as much as ever an object
of sympathy on the part OF rhe Americans
and others, and, but for the rules of the
prison with which he cheerfully complies,
he would hold daily levees.

while Haase was sporting in the water

The Miller boys knowing his infirmity,
at oDce jumped in and swan toward him.
1t was a race against time, but the
plucky lads reached the drowning boy be-
fore he sank for the third time. They
were so exhausted, however, that it was
will difficulty that they could keep
themselves afoat, and they could offer no
assistance to Haase.

ERIE STILL FIGHTING


To Prevent the Paterson Central From
Crossing Its Tracks
Courtlandt Parker today continued his
argument on behalf of the Erie Rail-
roads application for an injunction to re-
strain the Paterson Central Electric
Transit Company from crossing its tracks
at Ellison street, Paterson. Last Satur-
day when the application was made
the lawyers for the trolley road ex-
hiblted written consent which they de-
clared permitted the electric ROAD to cross
the steam road. This consent was signed
by the Erie's Vice President. Today Mr..
Parker endeavored to persuade the Chan
cellor that there was nothing in the al
legged consent tnat provided that the cleo
trio road should cross the tracks, but On
the other hand the consent was simply to
the right of way to the tracks Of the
Erie Road and not over it. He
claimed that even If the consent did give
permission TO cross that would not de-
prive the complainant of right to apply
for an Injunction. He insisted that the
electric road should not be permitted to
cross the Erie Tracts because of the dan
Mr. Parker said the. Erie Com-
pany md not approve of grade
crossings and hoped he day would
sGon come when cid grade crossings
would be abandoned Mr.. Parker de-
nounced trolley roals in general
nuisances, and this one in particular. He
pointed out TO the Chancellor the unseen
dangers lurking in the wires OF the troll
ley system and then classed them with
Steam roads, saying electric roads should
not receive any consideration that
steam road did not possess.
Chancellor McGilt remarked that it
was a settled principle that horse cars
could cross the tracks of steam roads,
but that he would like to hear argument
as to the character Of the road in ques-
tion. The case was on at noon.
