Hertz,s Telegraph Invention.

In a recent interview DR.. Corne-
Illus Herr, at present a fugitive
from French justice at Bourne
mouth, England, and who described
as worn with anxiety and pain and
clearly dying, declared in broken
utterances that he would leave a
great invention to be patented and
developed. The gist of the inven-
ton is on enormous improvement
in biography, by which more than
1000 words can be transmitted by
long submarine cables in the same
time that 90 words can be sent
now. The invention, the doctor
claimed, would allow of cabling 5C
words at cost of five cents. He
dwelt upon the influence that the
invention would have upon the
newspaper of the future, and said
that he intended, in granting roy.
alties, to reserve all rights as far
as they applied to news. The in
vention, he said, would render sub
marine telephony and multiplez
telephony. feasible. Among those
engaged in his laboratories in
France on the experiments which
have resulted in the invention HI
mentioned Edison's nephew.

The taking of depositions In the suit
OF Isaac Mills against Lawyer McPher-
rim and his wife to set aside deed to
the property at Nineteenth and Harri-
son streets. out of which the plaintiff
alleges he was defrauded, terminated in
blows between attorneys Friday night.
Attorney shannon Douglass had been
appointed by Judge Dobson to take the
testimony and this work had been under
headway all day Friday in Mr.. Doug
lass office in the Gibraltar building.
Attorney Hammer appeared for the de-
PENDANTS and Attorney Stewart Taylor
for the plaintiff, who Is an old colored
man. The litigation brought out a great
deal of bitterness and the defendant.
MIR McPherrin. had chafed all the after
noon under the searching questioning
of the plaintiffs counsel.
1t was nearly dark when adjournment
was had and the parties had all passed
out into the hail. when suddenly loud
words were heard such as You're
liar" and the retort You're a - liar"
Then there was scuffle, and Attorneys
McPherrin and Taylor and Hammer
were all mixed and tangled UP together.
Judge Douglass was no longer the
court" with power to command them to
cease under pain of being Jailed for con-
tempt, but lightweight as he is, physl-
cally speaking. he rushed in and called
a janitor to help him, and 1t was not
many minutes before he had the com.
hatants separated. They were all
breathless and somewhat mussed as to
their clothing. but still anxious to fight
when separated.
Further hostilities were prevented, but
the taking of testimony was not re-
sumed yesterday and will not be until
next Wednesday, All the parties to the
trouble attempted to keep 1t quiet but
1t leaked out yesterday, and there was
no little amusement created thereby
among attorneys at the court. Attorney
Hammer explained that he was acting
the part of peaccmaker and Judge
Douglass thinks possibly this may have
been the case. Mr., Taylor said last
night that he was very sorry the matter
had gotten out, as he did not like to ap-
near in the role of fighting attorney.
