CHURCH AND SOCIETY PRINTING.
For Quick Transmission of Mail.
An ingenious young inventor and ex-
pert electrician of Mt. Vernon, has
made a most wonderful and startling
invention in the method of making the
transmission of letters and small arti-
cles of merchandize through long dis-
tance tubes at almost telegraphic
speed. Under the auspices of Col.
Henry Huss,an old 17th Conn. veteran,
and now postmaster at Mt. Vernon,
Gen. Thomas L. James, ex-Postmaster-
General and ex-postmaster of New
York city, and new president of the
Lincoln bank, has been induced to ac-
cept the presidency of a company just
organized for its construction and pro-
motion and in which it is understood
Hon. Chauncy Depew and the Vander~
bilts are large owners. The leading
idea utilized by the inventor is along
the line of the pneumatic tube con-
struction, but instead of exhausting air
in front of the plunger and forcing air
pressure in its rear, the rapid propul-
sion is secured by an ingenious system
of relays of dynamos or electric coils.
It is estimated that loaded tubes or
plungers from five to ten feet longycan
be dispatched every five minutes be-
tween New York and Philadelphia, and
this distance of about one hundred
miles, covered in at least fifteen min-
utes. It is called the United States
Postelectric Company, with a capital of
$5,000.000, and articles of incorpora-
tion were forwarded to West Virginia
yesterday. the company having been
organized under the laws of that State.
The following are the incorporators :
Thomas L. James, ex-Postmaster-Gen-
oral; ex-Judge A. J. Dittenhoefer,
John Stratton, Charles F. James. Per-
cival Knauth, William James, John T.
\Villiams, Colonel Henry Hues, Frank
Lawton and Whipple V. Phillips.
An experimental plant was recently
put up at Dorchester, Mass. , where the
system was carefully and thoroughly
tested and improvements made, and it
was demonstrated that a Speed of 150
miles an hour or 220 feet per second
could be made. The system is also said
to be inexpensive, the trip between
New York and Boston costing not more
than '75 cents, and trips could be made
every few minutes.
The plant upon which the tests were
made consisted of an endless, track
2,784 feet in circuit, elevated on a
wooden trestle a few feet above the
ground and running through a power
station in which was an engine and a
dynamo. The car is a hollow projec-
tile Of wrought iron. shaped like a
doublepointed cigar, 12 feet in length,
10 inches in diameter,weighs 500 pounds
and has a capacity for 10,000 letters. It
has two flanged wheels above and two
underneath, running on steel ball
bearings, capable of 25,000 revolutions
per minute. The propelling power
comes from a series of coils of insulated
copper wire, six feet apart, and con-
nected by a contact wheel mounted on
the car and running in contact with the
upper rail. There is no other mechan-
ism about the car or the whole system.
The current in the coils of wire
serves to suck the car forward until its
centre is directly under one of the
coils. The tendency would seem to be
to check the car at that point, but the
upper rail being laid in sections, the
current is brokon at each section suf-
ficiently to allow the current of the coil
in front to draw the car on forward,
the current, of course, passing through
the rails. The whole thing is simple,
light in weight, is completely automatic
in starting or stopping, and needs no
guide or attention, and the most san-
guine expectations are entertained of
its complete and perfect success as the
most rapid method of transmission the
world has ever yet seen.

the extradition of Colonel Gaylor were
received at the .Westchester County
Sheriff’s office last night by Deputy
Sheriff Hallock, who last week arrest-
ed Coljonel Gaylor at Ridgefleld, Conn,
and placed him in the Bridgeport Jail
until extradition papers were granted.
Colonel Gaylor is wanted at White

to obtain bondsmen, Webster stayed at
the rawampum Hotel with Gaylor,
who he was frequently treated to
White Plains rum and finally fell.

The Gossoon.
E. E. Kidder-’s Irish Comedy Drama,
The Gossoon, withCarroll Johnson in
the principal role, will be the attraction
at the Opera House Monday evening,
Dec. 14.
Mr. Kidder has done some of his
daintiest work in this play. It is in
some essential respects a model play of
its order. The author has with rare
judgment avoided many of the worn-
out conversationalities and given to the
stage a bright, spirited, well-written
and fairly well constructed drama, in
which the serious and the comic ele-
ments are judiciously dovetailed, and
in which there is little superfluous talk.
Mr. Johnson has found in Mr. Kid-
ders play a character that is peculiarly
suited to his personality. Incidentally
he sings a number of pretty songs,
dances with all the grace of his old-
time minstrel days, and in the absence
of cork,shows his manly beauty, which,
on the stage, is always a. potential fac-
tor in “the sum of a romantic actor’s
equipment.

A Mean Trick-.7-
Last Monday a man giving the name
Of Foley, called at Mrs. Corcoran’s
boarding house on Belden avenue and
engaged board. He informed the land-
lady that he was a moulder by trade,
and that his trunk was at the Danbury
depot, but that he had been on a spree
for some time and had spent all his
money and could not get it unless Mrs.
Corcoran would advance him $1 to pay
the charges on it. This the good-heart-
ed landlady did, and Foley was to pay
the money back on Saturday night, as
he stated he had secured steady work
in town. Foley came down town osten—
sibly to get the trunk, but as he had
none to get, he did not go near the de-
pot, and Mrs. Corcoran has not seen
hide nor hair of him since. The case
was put in Chief Gormley’s hands yes-
terday, and he went to South Norwalk
expecting to catch the miserable vil-
lain who would in this contemptible
manner steal money from a poor help-
less woman. The Chief found a man
who answered Foley’s description, and
brought him to the house for identifi-
cation, but as soon as Mrs. Corcoran
saw him. she informed the Chief that he
was not the one wanted, and he was re-
leased. ‘
17th Ct- Vols. Badge Presentation.
Last evening at-the grand old mano-
rial residence of. Gen. Wm. H. Noble,
at East Bridgeport, a aoodly company
of veterans of the old Seventeenth Con—
necticut Volunteers assembled to pay
honor to their first Chaplain, Rev. Dr.
Alexander R. Thompson, now chaplain
of the New York Roosevelt Hospital,
and a former pastor of the West Pres-
byterian church, by the presentation to
him of a gold regimental badge, given
him by that Veteran Corps. The pre-
sentation was made in honor of Dr.
Thompson’s services to the regiment
and in recognition of his services as
chaplain of the Veteran Corps. Dr—
Thompson was minister of the Old
South church at Bridgeport when the
war broke out, just prior to which he
preached a sermon relative to the treat-
ment of a. woman whose moral conduct
was questioned, and some members of
the congregation found so much fault
that he resigned. He preached his
farewell sermon on the following Sun-
day, which so affected the congrega-
tion that he was pleaded with to remain.
But he was firm, and accepted a call to
N .Y. West Presbyterian church. Then,
when the Seventeenth Regiment was
organized, he was asked to accept the
chaplaincy, but his people prevailed
upon him to stay. He held services in
the camps of the re iment at Sea Side
Park, Brid eport; ort Marshall, Bal-
timore, an delivered the dedicstory
address at the unveiling of the monu—
ment at Cemetery Hill, Gettysburg.
Gen. Noble presented the beautiful
badge, which was eloquently respond..
ed to by the recipient, after which a

AWarning.
The safe-blowing gang, who have
been operating on Connecticut post-
oliices for the past two years, with vary—
ing success, tried their luck at the East
Hartford postolfice Wednesday night.
They made the ridiculous blunder of .
blowing Open an unlocked safe, and the
safe was empty. The noise of blowing
open the safe aroused the whole town.
This has been our friend “Joe” {an—
dle’s plan, ever since his safe was
ruined by postoffice robbers. He thinks
it wiser and cheaper to leave his safe
Open nights and nothing in it.

cut Prohibitionists met at Hartford
Wednesday at which some nine hun-
dred delegates and spectators were
present, and all seemingly eager to
start off the campoign of 1892.
.Allen B. Lincoln, editor of “The
Connecticut Home,” was made perma-
nent chairman. Vice-presidents were
chosen, one from each county. Mr.
Lincoln made along address. Local
Option was declared to be a waste of
temperance energy and the last hope of
the rum power. N ational constitutional
prohibition was demanded. Resolu—
tions for organizing the party for a
presidential campaign were adopted.

Arrested on Suspicion
Constable Gilbert, of Ridgefield, was
in town yesterday looking for John
Dodd, who had forgotten to reimburse
his landlady before leaving the health-
ful locality, but returned without his
man. This morning Constable John
S. Lockwood arrested a man answer-
ing to the description given of Dodd,
but as his tongue was completely para-
lized by a. too frequent indulgence in
the seductive cocktail, it was impossible
to get any information out of him. , At
the time of arrest the supposed Dodd
was embracing the cold 'earth in the
alley next to Stommels’ store, and the
services of a wagon were required to
get him to “the hotel by the sea.”
