Birmingham, Ala, June 10.-Hunts-
vile may be the scene of a bloody
riot before tomorrow's sun rises. a mob
from Decatur is bent on lynching Louis
Thompson and Walter Neville, the two
negroes who assaulted Nellie Lawton,
a 12-year-old girl. at that place, and
who were taken to Huntsville for safe
keeping last night. They are now in jail
at Huntsville. Early this morning a
mob of 200 boarded a freight train at
Decatur TO ride to Huntsville for the
purpose of lynching the negroes Ten
miles out, at Green Brier station, the
conductor side-tracked the train. and
acquainted the railroad officials of the
situation by wire. The latter tele-
graphed back to hold the train until
the mob left it. After two hours of
parleying the members of the mob got
off and walked back to Decatur, but
sWore they would go to Huntsville to-
night and carry out their purpose. To-
night Governor Johnston wired orders
for so well armed men to go from
Birmingham to Huntsville by special
train. Accordingly, the Birmingham
rifles left here at $3.50 o'clock tonight
and will join the Huntsville military in
guarding the Jail. If an attack occurs
much bloodshed will follow.
Decatur is greatly wrought up over
the crime of the two negroes, both of
whom were identified by their victim.
On preliminary trial yesterday they
were bound over to the grand jury. To
prevent lynchirg, the officers secreted
them in the bath room of the Hotel
Bismarck until the train was ready to
leave for Huntsville. when the two ne

New York, June 10.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
1t is believed here now that the long
suppressed news of affairs in Madrid
have been made made public. that Gen
eral Weyler's return to Spain will be
the most important result of Canovas'
success in retaining power.
Private kilograms have been sent to
persons here in which it was distinctly
stated that Campos, Dominguez and
Pidal had given their support to
Canovas only with the plain stipula
ton that General Weyler should CO.
In fact, it is felt here that Campos.
who is now in power in Spain and fills
the popular eye, would not on any ac-
count lend himself to the continuation
of General Weyler's policy. The plan
is to send General Marin here from
Porto Rico and then supplant him in
turn by General Blanco of Campos.
The private kilograms seem to leave
no doubt as to General Weyler's COM
ing retirement, and big as is the re-
sponsibility for changing captains at
so critical a period, it appears to be set
tied. General Weyler's recall will be an
acknowledgment, it is believed here,
that proclamations of pacification are
not worth the paper they are written
on. If General Weyler goes his sue
cessor can only abandon utterly the
plans which General Weyler has made
and followed.
The first duty of General Weylers
successor, when he comes, will be to al
low the starving reconcentrados to go
once more into the fertile fields and
cultivate there the means of life which
are denied them inside the bitches and
forts
With the return of Mr.. Calhoun. the
American consuls here have reinforced
their former reports as to the strength
of the insurgents and the poor outlook
for peace under present conditions.
Moreover, they have said plainly that
in their opinion the United States must
not look too seriously upon the pro-
posed reforms and talk Of autonomy
on Canadian lines.
In short, however much feeling there
may be that Spain should be allowed
to retain her sovereignty here, the
feel and have so reported,
that there is not a provision in the re-
forms which has not a string TO it, and
any result here short of independence
Or an American protectorate will mean, |
hey say. merely postponement and an !
1ther revolution in a few years.
The Herald's correspondent in Sagua |
a Grande reports that just previous to |
General Weyler's return to Havana, he /
some of Gomez forces near
sancti SDiritus, under command of |
Iomez himself, and was forced to re-
reat. leaving so dead on the field and
90 prisoners in the hands of the rebels.
This matter has been neglected in Of
icial reports.

insurance Accents IN Harmony.

Stockton, Cal, June 10.-The meeting
of the local insurance agents was
marked by harmony. a resolution was
passed deferring the signing the sub
mitted agreement until changes were
made. The resolution does not state
what charges are wanted, but it is I'M
derstooG that nearly every clause is OBJ
jectionable, particularly the one reduc-
ing the commission of the agents from
20 TO 10 per cent. Two agents from
Sacramento were present to assure the
Stockton men that if their agencies
were taken away from them they would
resign. Assurances to the same effect
were received from San Jose and Los
Angeles. Today is the day on which
the insurance compact has resolved to

New York. June 10.-The Herald to-
day says: The process of photograph
ing sound waves and from the plates
reproducing the original sounds has
been, it is announced. successfully car
ried out by the Rev. A S. Ferguson. a
Baptist minister. now living in Brook
lvn.
The astonishing part of his discovery,
he says, is the simplicity of The process
by which this result has been achieved.
There is no ponderous or complicated
machinery. Only two discs, each about
seven inches in diameter, revolved by
ordinary cranks. One of these, the
recorder. is horizontal; the second, the
reproducer. revolving perpendicularly
Speaking Of his invention, Mr.. Fer
guson said:
About six years ago it struck me
that it would be possible to photograph
sound by manipulating a ray of light
and reproducing the sounds recorded
by such manipulation upon a sensitized
plate The 'lightophone. as I call this
instrument. l have secured by patent,
both here and in England
| am now working on a machine
to not only record sound, but to repro
duce it in typewriting, and 1 am con-
fdent that l can do so.
Many scientific men. here and in
Europe, have written to me about it,
and in this city, Professors Peckham
and Seldner of the Adelphi college have
seen 1t and have pronounced 1t an in
vention of marvellous interest and pos
sibilities
There are now but two talking ma
chines-the gramophone and the phon-
ograph or graphophcne, which will pro-
duce tone. The former is the invention
of Berliner. the latter being the pro-
duction of Edison. In both of these
the sound is recorded by a needle, or
stylus, upon wax. This requires pres
sure. as a result friction. which of ne
cessity produces distortions.
The lightophone records upon first
surface. and as there is no mechanical
device. needle or stylus used, there can
be no distortion. Light produces no
pressure or friction and cannot produce
distortion. In the photograph the wave
lines are perpendicular and the surface
upon which they are recorded; in the
ightCphone they are parallel to the
surface of the glass plate on which they
are produced. The horizontal lines
afford the best conditions necessary to
one study. 1t is possible with these
photographs to throw upon a large
screen pictures of the sound waves pro-
iuced by speaking. singing. instFu-
mental music or any other sound what

The possibility of using this instru-
nent in laboratory work is very great

laps even a whisper.
There is no electricity EMPLOYED in

Iuced by vibration, or more properly,
