The attempt, however. was a conspic-
uous and dismal failure and the whore
scheme was quickly buried out of sight.
In 1886 DR. Bell and Prof. Tant5r of the

In 1855 Mr. Edison went into the busi-
ness of making talking machines, using
the invention of Bell and fainter under a
license arrangement. The misappTehen-
sion to which l referred moment ago
has arisen from the fact that the only
thing which survived of Edison's early
attempts in this direction was the name
'phonosraph' which he now applied to
the machines recording by the engraving
process. The question of the authorship
of this invention has several times been
judicially examined, and very lately in
this circuit
The court Judge shipman). speaking
of the cary r.uisJn phouograph. said:
The indentinS point bent the tin-foil
down and around the point Of contact and
distorted the indentations. The record
was perishablc, was easily ob!iterated.
and was easily injured when removed

In the machine now before you, the
discovery OF Bell and Tainter has receiv-

suits obtained by that machine approach
so nearly TO the theoretical ideal. that il

"Gen. Miles is ready to receive a sum-
mons from4the Alger Relief Commission
said a civilian friend of the general, who
stands near him socially. He added:
Gen. Miles has never admitted that there
is either constitutional warrant or legal
technically for the creation or existence
of that Commission. If he shall be sum
moned before the Commission it is now
intimated it will receive something very
warmth fact. too hot to hold.
Before the general would go into an
unauthorized court, before he would ap-
pear before an Illegal tribunal, before he
would sanction with his presence pooy
whose existence excites only his con-
tempt. he would make written reply to
the proposed summons. Probably an or
der from the President, who is the COM
mander IN chief would be obeyed with
alacrfty, as all orders are obeyed by our
great soldier But wouldn't the Commits
sion look small, appealing to the President
to compel our foremost soldier to humil-
late himself by, becoming a witness in
an unconstitutional u court? Moreover
wouldn't it be a, humiliating spectacle to
have the President stoop to the issuance
of such an order?c So
Dropping that ataCommission for a mo-
ment," he continued, e.'let us look at the
conditions in North Carolina, particularly
at Wilmington. There has been revolu-
ton there-a municipal revolution. The
constitution and laws of the State of
North Carolina have been subverted. The
corporation of Wilmington has been in a
state of anarchy. There has never been
such a revolution in any city of our Re-
pubic. Therefore, it has attracted uni
versal attention.
DO you know why the President has
so carefully avoided interference, in the
interest of law and order? Simply be-
cause he has been revolutionist him
self. While there has been a municipal
revolution in Wilmington, there has been
a national revolution In Washington The
constitution and laws of our country have
been subverted. There has been organ

MRS. w1LMERp1NG,s SANITY.

Pnranoiac.

White Plains, n. ", Nov. 26-The final
hearing of the commissioners to inquire
into the sanity of Mrs. Jack Wilmerd
ing, who was formerly well known in
New York society, was held here today.
The witnesses were DIR. G. w. Cerio and
DR.. Allison, who now practice in New
York city, having an office at No. 202 East
Seventy ninth Street, who treated Mrs.
Wilmerding at Capri, Italy.
DIR. Cerio is an Italian, and was for
three years a surgeon in the Italian army.
He first saw Mrs. Wilmerding at Mr..
Coieman's, at Capri. Al this time her
actions We're queer. She was taking
lunch with the family and danced about
the table and sang. This was in Novem-
ber. 1897, n few days after Mrs. Wilmer
ding's arrival At Capri. Her father had
been seriously i'll for some time, and DR..
Cerio was attending him. He was called
upon to prescribe for Mrs Wilmerding
shortly afterward. On account of lack
of room at Mr.. Vanderbilt Aliens she
went to a hotel to stay to make room
for the nurses and attendants of her
father, Mr.. Allen. She drank and smoked
excessively, and after becoming a guest
al the hotel was restrained somewhat.
The supply of intoxlcants was cut off by
his orders. He attended her at the hotel
constantly. She wanted to change her
religion and become a Roman Catholic.
She set up an image in her room and
prayed before it for an hour at a time.
She related TO him stories of perss scution
by her family, but always app ared
friendly on the many visits of her step
mother. Mrs. Allen. He diagnosed the
case as one of parano!a, and considered
that the case was unfortunately incur
able.
On cross-examination DR.. Cerio said
that the hotel people had been Obliged to
give Mrs, Wiimerding brandy occasionally
to keep her quiet during his absence at
meals She had not taken proper care OF
herself in the matter of dress, and had
several times come into the room where
he was in a nude state.
DIR. Allison was not allowed to put his
statement that Mrs. Wilmerding's con-
duct was the sole topic of discussion at
Capri. nor his statement that her pictdre
in extremely decollette costume was ex-
hibited at the hotel on record. He said
that she gave away much of her proper
ty, giving him her watch, which he
turned over to Mrs. Allen. When she left
Capri for America she had started with
only a single wrapper in her valise, as
she said maid would meet her at the
steamer with an elaborate wardrobe di-
rect from Paris. The maid, however. did
not materialiZe. Her trouble, DIR. Ali on
said. was delusional monomania. BY
agreement the lawyers did not sum up,
and the commissioners retired for a con-
ference. which lasted an hour. When 1t
was over they announced that they had
agreed on report, which they would pre-
sent to Judge Kerr. who appointed them,
on Saturday next. They would give no
intimatiOn of what the nature of the re-
port would be.

Fiange of a Wheel Breaks and Car
Over by Accident, Sending Part of
Train on siding = CoIlinion With

Danbury, Conn, Nov. 26-Passengers on
the New York and Pittsfield express, due
in New York at 1880 today, had an escape
from death that seems almost miraculous.
The train is run largely for the accom-
mediation of New York people who go to
the Berkshire Hills, and is the fastest
that goes out on the division
1t was made up of three coaches, a par
lor car. and a baggage car, when it left
Danbury this morning and with the eX-
ception of the parior car, the train was
well filed with passengers.
When the train was approaching
Georgetown, IL miles from here, the
fiange of wheel beneath the forward
truck of the baggage car broke. The en-
gineer. David Vaughan, tried to apply the
airbrakes but the brake was probably
broken and the car left the track. The
railroad runs along high embankment
in front of the GEORGETOWN station, close
to the edge of a pond. y bridge carries
the railroad over a stream at the head
of the pond. Between the station and the
main track there is Il freight siding, with
a switch near the bridge.
The accident occurred few rods from
the bridge and the derailed car plowed
over the ties, but did not go over the
bridge. a brake rod caught In the switch
and threw 1t over and the baggage car
followed the engine along the main track,
while the parlor car and coaches went
down the siding, where some day coaches
were standing.
James F. Lewis. of Chicago, and his
wife and daughter were seated in the for
ward end of the parlor car. They felt the
jar as the train took the siding, and an
instant later the end of a freight car
smashed through the end of their car.
They were engulfed in wreckage, and ev-
erything about them was crushed into
splinters. but the few feet of floor upon
which they stood escaped. although the
freight car went nearly half way through
the parlor car. The freight car was filled
with oats in bags. and these formed a
bulwark which protected the passengers
portion of the freight ear was hurled
over Mrs. Lewis's head, and Miss Lewis
was severely cut on the head. The train
men rescued them. The colored porter
was thrown the length of the car and was
found beneath some debris. unhurt
The other cars were slightly broken, but
the passengers escaped with cuts and
bruises.
The baggage car. which was dragged
along by the engine, collided with the
same freight car that telescoped the par
lor car. its entire side being ripped of.
and ii broke away from the engine and
went over the bank, carrying away a
small building as 1t went. 1t was caught
by pile OF wire refuse, which prevented
1t from dropping into the pond.
Baggagemaster Fitzgerald was badly
hurt. and was brought to the hospital in
this city.
Herbert Bennett, head brakeman, was
found beneath some baggage, uncon-
scious.

of the Georgetown station, injuring Al

escape. The locomotive did not leave the
