stormy time. After entering the house
the Womau's parents refused 10 let her

her from departing with Alexander,
when the old man and son followed her
into the yard, the former eudeavoring TO
assist Sarah to make her escape resulting
in a fight with Jones and the son, and
during which time Alexander drew re-

The test to-day was the first that has
been made over long line, and was
looked forward to with great deal of in
tereSt by the experts. The weather was
unpropitious for such u test, aud the
rain was pouring down the whole length
OF the line. The first message sent, how
ever, over line of high resistance. 2lS
miles long, was received in perfectly Leg
ibe shape. as was every other sent dur
ing the test. The speed, which was at
first 40 words minute, was increased
TO $40 minute without any decrease In
the legibility.
Mr.. Delaney stated that with wire
weighing $50 pounds to a mile, which
would give line of resistance much less
than used to-day, he could send 1000
words minute with equal legibility,
and at a cost not exceeding 5 cents for
fifty words. The system is an electro
chemical one, the message being received
on moistened tape, the dots and dashes
appearing on it in brow characters. All
electro-chemcal sly stems heretofore have
failed as high speed systems, because the

Experiment of More Thai Usual In

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13.-An expert
ment of more than usual interest was
made in this city to-day by well-known
experts to determine the practical value
OF the new high speed system of machine
biography, recently brought out by
Patrick B. Delaney, by which he pro-
poses TO do the mali business by wire in
stead OF by train, and at COST so low
that very large proportion of business
communications between distant cities
would be .hus transmitted.
This new method is entirely distinct
from Mr.. Delaneys synchronous multi
pleX telegraph, which is extensively
used by the British postoi1ice, by which
six messages are transmitted simultane-
cusly oyer.a single wire in the same or ia
opposite uireCtlOuS, each circuit being
entirely independent OF each other. lhe
n!u!tipieX system is worked by hand,
each OF tile six eli cults requiring Il send
ms and receiving operator. The new
systom is worked automatically, q
punched tape taking the place OF the
sending operators. lis great advantage
ovor other systems is that over Il single
wire as many Us 0J0 words u minute can
be sent between points as far distant from
each other as Now York aud Chicago,
while llln very best that can be done by
other nigh speed systems will not exceed
loo words minute.

PRISON DIRECTORS.
Business Transacted at an Executfv
Session Held Yesterday.

BUSINESS transacted at an Executive
Session Held Yesterday.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.-The Board of
State Prison Directors held a meeting
this morning in President De Pue's office
in this city. 1t was strictly an executive
session and every member of the Board
was present, as were also Warden Hale
of San Quentin and Secretary of the
Board Ellis.
The mem bers of the board desire to
widen the railroad embankment along
the river near Folsom prison, so that tour
rails may be laid in place of the single
track now used. The preparation of the
ground at the prison for the erection of
the rock-crushing plant has caused
great deal of excavating, and the earth
and rock resulting has been used on the
embankment. This has the effect of mar
rowing the gorge through which the
river flows, aud the Folsom Power Com
pany, which owns all the lands there
abouts and the water rights, considers
that this will result to the corpora
tions' detriment. Hence a vigorous
protest has been filed with the board,
and it was the consideration of this mat
ter which largely occupied the Directors.
After q long discussion the Directors
formulated plan by which they think
the objections of the power company will
be overcome. According To this plan,
earth excavated will be distributed along
the edge OF The embankment, instead OF
being dumped at one point. In this way
the embankment will be reduced as
much as possible, and any additional
room which may be needed will he Sc
cured by blasting out the mountain side
on the inner edge OF the present track.
Some more parole cases were taken up
at the meeting, but favorable action was
not taken in any case.
