Death Of Mrs, E. G. Hobart.

From the Marysville, (Cal), Daily
Democrat of January 4th. we clip the
following:
Mrs. Lucinda Knight Hobart, relict of
the late +. q. Hobart, died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. G. b. AndrOss, cor
ner e and Second streets, at 2.40 o'clock
Sunday morning. of la grippe. During
her twelve years residence in Marysville,
Mrs. Hobart formed a large circle of
friends and acquaintances, who received
the sad news of her demise with regret
She was good christian woman endowed
with all the enobling virtues that are the
attributes of a loving mother, kind sis
ter, dutiful wife, and desirable neigh
Dor.
Her illness extended over week, dur
ing which time it became evident to her
most sanguine friends that the disease
was more than one of her advanced years
could withstand. Mrs. Hobart would
have reached her four score years on the
24th of next October, had she lived to
that date. She was a native of West
moreland, New Hampshire, and came to
California with her husband, who died
about eighteen months ago, in 1884
\ daughter, Mrs {. b. AAdrOSs, a
brother, u. Il. knight, a sister, Mrs. f.
NJ. Camp of Lawrence, Massachusetts,
and niece, Mrs. }. p. Swift, survive de-
ceased, besides several grandchildren and
other relatives. Mrs. Camp was at the
bedside when her sister passed away,
having arrived from Massachusetts about
month ago to visit her California rela-
tives. Mrs. W. H. Crook of this city and
Mrs. Austin Crook of Lincoln are related
to Mrs. Hobart by marriage.
The funeral services over the remains
of the deceased lady were conducted by
Rev. Thomas Elben at the NJ. E. church /
at 2 o'clock this afternoon in the presence
at large cOncOurse of citizens. About /
the bier were placed many pretty floral .
tributes. The choir rendered appropriate /
selections during the services. After the .
eulOgy the remains were placed in the |
hearSe and the cortege moved to the |
Knight vault in the City cemetery, where
the interment was made.

A Bradford Boys Success.


Webster, Mass. Review, Dec. n, 1880.
OF all the many improvements being
made by the GroSvenerdale Co., there are
none more worthy of mention than the
electric time watch system now being put
in. The electric watchman's clock is a
device to be used in factories and buildings
where watchmen are employed. 1t ac-
Curately gives and records for immediate
or future reference all movements of
watchmen and other persons. The clocks
at which the watchman's record is made
can be arranged for any number of watch
men. 1t being only limited by the room,
that may be assigned to them in the office
oTroom in which they are placed. and the
number of places from which records are
desired Fhe record is made on circur-
lar piece of paper and is permanent and
cannot be erased or changed, as it is made
by punctureS through the recording dial
and can be fled for future reference.
Besides the watchmen's recording de-
vice, there are also dials for recording the
coming and going of OveTseers. The syS-
TEN also includes what is known as the
program attachment. Its functions are to
make an electrical contact at amy prerp,
termined time desired. In this ease the
contacts are made as follows: G.:1. $40
6.42, 1900, 1886, 1910, .42 and 300
The use to which this system has been
applied i'll this case is to strike the time
of starting of engines, water wheels and
tower bells for worKmen 10 start and
stop work.
The master clock is placed in No. 2
mill Office and strikes the time for all the
mills of the company. They are located
about a mile and half apart Thus the
time will be accurately recorded at all
the mills. The clock in No. mill office
also regulates a clock i'll No. mill electri-
cally. This one clock runs electrically
nine double dial clocks in the different
departments. Contacts on these clocks
are made every minute.
This system has been put in by Fred
+. Carlton, representing the well known
firm of f. Howard Watch and Clock Co.,
Boston.

miscreant who. with hatred for the BIZ
cycle and no fear Of the law in his heart,
spoiled the pleasure Of hundreds of
wheelmen Monday on the Cedarburg
road between Mequon and Thiensville.
He planted a piece Of plank well stud
ded with wire nails with their points
up in the cycle track. and the road for
a mile was covered with unfortunate
cyclers who had fallen victims to this
mean revenge.
The board was buried in the middle Of
The path between the two villages,
which is always used by wheelmen in
preference to the road. 1t was covered
with a piece Of sod in such a manner
that no one suspected the presence Of
the puncturing machine. Nearly 200
riders were caught by the machine be-
fore its presence was discovered. and
the evening train on the st. Paul road
found scores Of angry wheelmen and
wheelwomen waiting at the stations
near the scene Of the accident to be car

PARIS ANGRY WITH HENRI.
Believes That His Defeat Was Due to His
Want of Cool Nerve.


Paris, Aug. 1S.-A sensational rumor,
which is not yet confirmed, is in circu-
lation that the wound Of Prince Henri
of Orleans is not healing satisfactorily
and that the patient is suffering from
high fever. The physicians, it is said.
decline TO give any definite information
as TO his condition. According to an
other rumor the Count Of Turin, when
Prince Henri was wounded, HURT d
toward him, greatly agitated, and said:
II hope it is not serious"
Although the Republicans would fain
console themselves with the reflection
that Prince Henri's overthrow has
killed Orleanism for a generation,
French pride. irrespective of party. is
deeply hurt by the Italian princes vic
tory. The French anger is furthec
stimulated by persistent reports that
Prince Henri was inferior to his oDIc-
nent in nerve more than in sworlsman-
ship and was completely overborne by
the violent. reckless onslaught Of the
Count of Turin. The opinion is said To
have been expressed by the counts Sec
ends that If Prince Henri had had prop
er self-control he had an opening in the
second bout which would easily have
enabled him to put the Count of Turin
hors de combat.
