New York, April 2S.-After detectives
had searched nineteen years for
Joseph kulick, a convict who escaped
from Sing Sing prison on May 26, 1885,
Warden Johnson received word that
the prisoner had been captured in
Leavenworth. Kan. The warden said
he would send two detectives to bring
the convict back to serve his term.
1T is long way to go for convict"
said the warden, yet I am going to
have him back within the stone walls
of the prison. 1t is the principle of the
thing. and it will teach other men not
to escape. because they will be cap
tured some day."
kulick was serving time for assault
in the second degree committed in
Manhattan. He had been in Sing Sing
only two months, when he broke
through defective window one morn
ing and jumped into the Hudson.
After a hard struggle he reached the
Rockland County shore, and got away
At one time it was reported that he
had died from consumption. and then 1t
was reported he was in Arizona. He
was arrested in Leavenworth on sus-
piciOn of having robbed a bank. and
confessed he was the fugitive Warden

CLAIMS ERICSSON'S INVENTION.
Man Of Eighty-Three Says He Planned
Revolving Turret in 1S48.

New York, April 2S.-Theodore
Ruggles Timby, who says he invented
the revolving turret. such as was used
ON the Monitor, of Hampton Roads
fame, and an electrical device for
pointing and firing heavy guns, cele-
brated his eighty-third birthday at his
home, No. 101 Lafayette Ave, Brook
lyn, Tuesday. Although so well along IN
years, he still hopes to live long enough
to collect claim of 100000 for these
inventions, which he has been pressing
against the United States Government
for forty years. Mr. Timby recently
returned from a visit to Washington
where he was assured that the Court
of Claims might reach his case this
spring, or, if not then, in the fall.
Mr.. Timby says that in 1S43 he filed
a caveat in the Patent Office at WASH
ington for a revolving tower for Often
sive or defensive warfare, which could
be used on land or water" Soon after
he sent to Caleb Cushing, the first
United States Minister to China, a
model of floating turret, such as the
Monitor was. In return he received a
complimentary acknowledgement of the
invention from Chinese official. This
is part Of the record of the claim.
IL spite of his optimism Mr.. Timby's'
friends fear that he is doomed to dis
appointment, as naval officials have all
along been inclined to discourage his
claim.

London. April 2s:-Providing that some
account assassinate Ferdinand OF Bull

elimination of all further danger of a
revolution IN Macedonia may be regarded
prince has just concluded with the Sui
tan.
For it is understood that Ferdinand
has concluded this treaty with the full
approval and consent of the so-called
Macedonian committees, and Of those
who have until now been the moving

have had the very statutory effect of con-
vincing them that any further disturb
ances in Macedonia would lead to the
garia. but by Russia and Austria, which
is about the last thing which they would
wish. Indeed, the Macedonians are as
little anxious to see their province in
the hands of either the Russians or of
the Austrians or of both, as are the
Turks, and so the Macedonian leaders
have concluded together with Prince
Ferdinand and the Ottoman Government
that it is best to leave matters as they
are lest worse should befall them in the
shape of a RussoAustrian occupation of
Macedonia.
BY the terms of this treaty, which has
been concluded without any regard for
the governments at Vienna and ST.
Petersburg, the Sultan grants an am
nesty to all Macedonians who have taken
part in the Instruction against his rule
and who have borne arms against him.
the only rebels excluded therefrom being
those who by blowing up railroad trains,
throwing bombs and committing dyna-
mite outrageS. have rendered themselves
guilty of crimes against common law, and
who will be treated as feons instead of
as belligerents.
More than this all Macedonians and
their sympathizers now in Turkish pris-
OnS will at once be set at liberty. and
those who have been eXied or forced to
flee the country will be permitted to re-
turn without fear of punishment.
In one word the Macedonian question
in so far as it constituted menace to thu
peace of Europe is at an end. and the
Sultan has once more given eviderCr

have enabled him for the past quarter o.
n century to hold his own against rot

and inasmuch as the only thing that has
stood in the way of such an arrangement

threatened the Prince with death unless
he espoused their wrongs, but who are
now consenting parties to the new agree
ment. the latter may be regarded as final
and conclusive.
