To trace the sweatshop evil back to
its first cause It comes chiefly from the
iatter-day mania for saving time, under
the conviction that time is money. All
the garments now made in these holes
could be made as easily and quite as
cheaply in a building located in some
country village, with plenty OF fresh air
and light. But there would be some
loss of time IN transportation. That is
about the only objection which could
be raised to the plan Of a factory In the
country.

Wireless Telephony.

Sir William Preece's wireless tele-
phone experiment, by which it is an
nounced it has been possible to hear
distinctly a series Of taps used on the
Morse principle, has caused a great in
terest in the electrical world, and has
Teen made the subject Of a statement
by DR.. Peter Stiens, who has been
hard at work for years on a system of
wireless telephony.
In an interview with a representa-
tive of the Central News Dr. Stein
said
Il have read some accounts of Sir
William Freezes wireless telephone
experiments, but l may say that | am
not working on Herzlan waves at all
My principle is that of using only
one means of onduction-namely, the
earth simply send electricity
through the earth from one apparatus
to another in sympathy with it. No
high poles or balloons, or anything of
the lind, are require for my system.
MY apparatus is small and portable.
OF course l cannot, for obvious reasons
just at present tell you its construction
and method of use.
II have not had On opportunity of
examining Sir William Peece's system,
but | see that in the newspaper ac-
count all that is claimed for it is that
the users can hear taps, which, when
used as a Morse system, can be utilized
in the sending of messages.
Nov, from this it would appear
that to be able to use his invention one
must be a telegraph operator or other
person understanding the Morse code
"Of course. don't know what Sir
William has in mind for the future,
but | claim that in my invention no.
only taps, but the spoken words, the
sound of the human voice, can be

New Dam at GAINESVILLE.

The United Staes government dam at
this city has been fully completed.
For the past three years and about this
season of the year this dam has been
undergoing repairs and is now one cf
the most substantial dams on the Mus
kingum river. The plan Of this struc-
ture was changed from that Of the or
iginal dam known as that of a step
dam to a sloped dam. It is 514 feet
long and IL feet high. Up to this date
about $4,000 has been expended on it..
The receipts from mill sites thereon
will equal the cost in about two or
three years.
Originally this dam was built by the
state of Ohio and was completed just
81 years ago The late Colonel George
w. Moneypenny, chen a citizen of
GAINESVILLE, was the contractor who al
so had the contract for building the
canal from the dam to that of the
Third street bridge. Upon the COM
pletlon of the dam Colonel Money
penny gave a splendid dinner to those
who were engaged in its erection.
Short addresses were made and a gem
eral good time was had. The table,
which extended several yards in length
was upon the apron of the dam.
In the early COS this dam including
chat of the Muskingum river improve
ment, passed into the hands of lessees
and during their term of lease the
middle portion of the dam was washed
out by a freshet, but was fully repaired
by the leases. The late General Ed
ward Ball, who was one of the lessees,
had the experimenting of the repairs
This was the only break that ever oc-
Cured in this dam.-Tlmes Recorder

Murder Of Deputy Marshal.

ChillicOthe, o., Oct "A posse of
determined men are securing the hills
around Hamden for two men named
Roach and Frederick, who last night
murdered in cold blood William W.
Lively, deputy marshal of Hamden.
Roach and Frederick were released on
ly three weeks ago from the peniten-
tiary, where they have been serving a
term for burglary. They got to Ham
den yesterday and at once proceeded
to get drunk and raise a disturbance
In the evening they went to resort
and ran the woman out of the house
into the street. The marshal happen
ed to be in the city yesterday, so Dep
uty Marshal Lively went after the men
as soon as news of their behavior
reached the authorities. AS they saw
him approaching both Frederick and
Roach drew pistols and fired at Lively
at almost the same instane, Both shots
took effect in the pit of the stomach
and he died fifteen minutes later.
The murderers fed to the hills and
owing to the absence of the Marshal,
there was some delay in organizing a
posse. This was finally done, but the
murderers had a good start and no
trace of them had been found last
night II they had been found they
would probably never have reached
Hamden alive. The pursuit was CON
tlnued today and everything possible
will be done to locate them.
