Edison’s Phonograph.
The phonograph, which Mr. James
M. Creagh has on exhibition on Main
street, reproduces a very interesting ac-
count of its history and construction
which our readers will undoubtedly ap-
preciate.
was invented by Thomas A. Edison,
sometimes known as the Wizard of
Menlo Park, in 1877. The first phono-
graphs were fitted with cylinders of tin
foil, but were never very successful. It
was in 1886 and 1887 that cylinders of
wax were used, and they reproduce the
voice in a very natural manner. The
prevalent idea that electricity is the
power that reproduces the sound is er—
roneous, as it is only the motive power,
and has no‘more to do with it than wa-
ter has with flour, inasmuch as the
former only produces the force that
turns the mill. Foot power would work
just as well, for phonographs have been
successfully worked by foot power.
The construction of the phonograph
is very simple. The essential parts of
the machine consist of a glass diaphram
about the size of a silver dollar and as
thick as a sheet of writing paper, to the
center of which is attached a sapphire
point. This pOint is let down until it
touches the surface of the wax cylinder
and the sounds of the voice, music, etc.,
vibrate the eolumn of air in the speak-
ing tube, that vibrates the diaphram,
drives it backward and forward, and
sound waves are cut in the surface of the
cylinder. When it reproduces the
sounds a needle drags in this groove;
it rides in and out of these little hills
and hollows, and so vibrates the dia-
phram again, drives it back and forth
in the same manner that the sounds-
sound.

Attempted Assassination.
COVINGTON, Ky., April 10.—An unknown
man fired three shots at J. P. Tarvin
while he was sitting in his office on the
second floor of the Commonwealth build-
ing. Fortunately the aim of the assassin
was as bad as his purpose, and none of the
missiles struck its intended target. Mr.
’I‘arvin is aprominent young lawyer and
can give no reason for the attempt upon
his life. He could give no description of
the fellow, as he barely got a glimpse of
him as he fled through the dark hallway
and escaped. Search was made in the
neighborhood by the police, who heard the
shots but no trace of the man could be
found.

Judge—Counsel Wrangle. l _
1
N EW YORK, April 10.—-'l‘he twelve direct
ors of the New York, New Havéi
and Hartford railroad, indicted for mis
demeanor on March 31 in connection
with the disaster in the Fourth avenue
tunnel a month ago, did not appear
at the bar of General Sessions Thurs?
day, as they had been directed to do:
The lawyers, however, appeared prompt]?
Judge Martina stated that as the d
fendants were only charged with a. misd
meanor they could offer their plea. with
out being present. Counsel then said thal
their plea would be not guilty, with privil
lege of withdraw' mg it if expedient later.
The Plea Not Accepted.
The court was reluctant to accept sue
a plea, and a long wrangle between coun ,
sel for the accused and the prosecution en
sued.
Counsel for the directors all through hi
argument alluded to the court of oyer andl
terminer as a court of supreme jurisdic 1
tion, from whence he expected immunity,
for the directors. l
The district attorney declared that the
court of oyer and terminer was of no
greater importance than the general ses-
sions, and that the court of oyer and ter-
miner would never grant the motion to
take the trial from the court of sessions.
Must Plead on Monday.
Counsel for the directors then asked for
ten days’ time to consider what the plea
should be. This wopld be giving him
longer time than théiflay set for hearing
the motion in oyer and terminer to take :
the case altogether from the court of ses-
sions.
Judge Martino granted until Monday
next to prepare a plea.
The motion to remove the trial to oyer
and terminer will be argued in 'the su-
preme court on Thursday next.
Parnell's Charge Against Gladstone.
LONDON, April lO.—-The St.-James Ga-
zette reverts to the charge recently made
by Mr. Parnell that Mr. Gladstone had re-
ceived American dynamiters at his
Hawarden residence. In that connection
The Gazette publishes a story to the effect
that Mr. Atkinson, of Detroit, Mich., and
Dr. O’Reilly visited England in 1889 as
agents of Alexander Sullivan, and as rep-
resentatives of the Irish extremists in
America, and that while in England both
gentlemen visited Mr. Gladstone. The
paper argues that inasmuch as the name
of Dr. O’Reilly was most notorious in con-
nection with the dynamiters, Mr. Glad-
stone could not have received either him
or Mr. Atkinson without knowing exactly
who and what the men were.
