Memphis, Jan. 3.-Captured by a
posse OF his own race. General Bone,
a half witted negro, is now il legal

most brutal crimes In the police history
of this region. Left as the protector
If Matte Maben, a middle-aged won an.
at her cabin, five miles north of this
City, while her husband and daughter
were attending midnight celebration
of the new year, Bone shot her in the
face, beat her int GA state of uncon-
seriousness with a billet of wood. then
dragged her from the house and, seiz-

PORT ARTHUR'S FALL
Favorable Effect on the Liverpool Mar.
ket-lmprovernent in Continen-
tai Trade.

New York, Jan. 3.--According to pri-
vate cables the fall OF Port Arthur had
a favorable effect on the Liverpool mar
ket. In some quarters it is expected that
the capitulation of this fortress will be
followed by peace negotiations, and it
may have been the theory that peace in
the far east would mean an improve
ment in continental trade conditions
as we'll as a squirt in the China trade
that strated shorts covering in Liver
pool. At any rate, prices were at one
lime about IL to IS points higher. Be-
fore the hour of the local opening
liquidation had cut the advance down
to a matter of six points. The local
market did a little better than due on
the English showing, starting at all add
vance of two to six points. Following
the call it ruled very irregular but
showed a pretty firm tone in the main
on small receipts and the contention
that all the weakly held spot cotton had
oeen shaken out with the remainder
held too strongly to permit of any fur
Their decline for the time being. Around
midday prices showed net gain OF
some IS to 20 points. In the early at
ternoon part Of this was lost, the bulge
attracted fresh sales by scalpers and an
apparent renewal of bear pressure. II
hardly seems likely that stability OF
spot holders can bring about any ma
terial advance or at least can greatly
stimulate bull speculation for so long as
cotton is being held there is cotton e
come OUT on an advance.
On the other hand, 50 long as spot
people refuse to follow the declines in
speculative markets, short sales in the
expectation Of any material break hardly
seem in order and between one thing
and another about the orily thing to be
expected is scalping market huctua-
ting between say 6 IL and possibly a
little over seven cents for the March
option. Yours truly.

FIRST TELEPHONE.
Crude Instrument Built In 1915 In.
vented by a Chicago Man.

Crude Instrument Built In 1915 In-
vented by a Chicago Man.
Chicago is claimed as the birthplace
Of the telephone. At Michigan aid
Jackson boulevards, ON the site Of the
present Stratford hotel, in the old
Gardner House, the first telephone was
used in 1876.
The instrument was the invention Of
Henry c. Strong, a journeyman printer
and a veteran Of the civil war, who
had served in the Ninety-third Illinois.
Before the war he had learned teleg-
raphy In New York city. 1t was dur
ing the war that the possibility Of u.s.
ing a closed circuit on Morse instru-
ment and transmitting sounds of the
human voice by it occurred to him.
As early as 1872 he interested the
chaplain Of the regiment, Rev. c. NJ.
Barnes, in his theory.
In 1875 ne set up the instrument,
which he called 1.-THE Goodyear single
coil telegraph sounder," in the rooms
of the Howser School Of Telegraphy,
In the Gardner House. To the amaze
ment Of DIR. and Mrs. G. w. Howser,
who were present at the time, Strong
succeeded In securing communication
with a station he had established at the
stockyards.
In May, 1877, Strong patented his
model, which consisted Of an electric
speaking telephone, a permanent mag
net in a coil of insulated wire with o
metal diaphragm. In the meantime, in
1876, the Bell company had secured a
patent on an instrument which had
been invented in the same year.
Strong's patent infrfnged theirs in nc
way, MS the principle on which the Bell
telephone operated involved the use OF
an electro-magnet, while the Strong in.
strument was connected with a perma.
nent magnet. -..
In September, 1877, there was fire
in the United States patent Office. AT
some time between May and Septem-
Der the Strong model disappeared. In
December, 1877, the Bell Telephone
company put in commercial use model
which bears q striking resemblance to
the Strong
The case of the Strong patent, vest
ed in the Atlantic and Western Tele-
phone company, against the Bell com
pany Is now pending In the United
States circuit court. Ossian Cameron,
the attorney who had charge of the
Strong interests, Is certain that he will
prove the priority Of the Strong pat.
ent. In the preliminary hearing before
Judge Kohlsaat, Strong asserted that
he was not only the first to use the
closed circuit, but that he also was the
first one to discover the possible use
Of wireless telegraphy.
Chicago is still the home Of the
predecessor OF Bell and Marconf. Mr.
Strong resides at 960 North Albany
avenue. Chicago Journal.
