TC miinson, because the latter had not obtained as much as be should for Hr. Edison's phonograph, has been fully verified. Mr. Edison, it is said, ha#iO«t about $250,000, and principally through the negligence, or worse, of a man he had made wealthy. Bills were negatively reported authorizing judges to sentence persons convicted of murder in the first degree to life imprisonment on the recommendation of the jury; requiring coroners to collect fire statistics; removing a number of restrictions contained in the Sunday law (Lemons bill). A bill was introduced providing- punishment for sending threatening letters. Washington, Jan. 19.—The house continued the discussion of the territorial admission bills. Indianapolis, Jan. 19. — President-elect Harrison received a visit yesterday from a very distinguished and mysterious New Yorker. He was a dapper, boyish looking person, and did not alight from the 11 o'clock train at the station, but jumped off at the crossing as the train entered it, carrying nothing but a small sachel. He hastily entered the first carriage he came to, pulled down the curtains, and was driven hastily to to the residence of a well known politician and state official. Soon after 12 o'clock he drove to Gen. Harrison's and was closeted with the president-elect for over an hour. George W. Reed, aged 70 years, a large stockholder in The Brooklyn Eagle, and one of the editorial staff of the paper, died at his home in New Brunswick. His funeral will be held in Brooklyn Sunday.

The Old Dominion steamship Richmond was badly injured in a collision with the schooner Jaoob Reid outside New York harbor. The schooner was also injured, and was towed into harbor by the Richmond. Mr. Edison himself was exceedingly reticent about the matter yesterday, although admitting the truth of the statement. Next Tuesday was fixed for final consideration of the prohibitory amendment. Mr. Lafferty, of Allegheny, introduced a bill relative to the corporation of passenger ra'lway companies, after prescribing the mode of incorporating companies. It provides nothing in this act shall be construed a9 a release of any restrictions now existing upon any passenger railway company as to the amount 0! fare it is entitled to charge. Mr. Springer offered an amendment to the omnibus bill providing that if a division of Dakota is authorized and a majority of all the votes cast at the election provided for in the act shall be in favor of the Sioux Falls constitution of 1885, it shall be the duty of the convention which may assemble at Sioux Falls to resubmit to the people of South Dakota, for ratification or rejection, the Sioux Falls constitution of 1885, and also the article* separately submitted at that time, including the selection of the temporary seat of government, with such changes as relate to the name and boundaries of the proposed state, to the reapportionment of the judicial and legislative districts, and such other amendui- nts as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of this act. Bernard Burns, a Jersey City bartender, was married in the afternoon and gave a reception in the evening. Some of the young men proposed that all kiss the bride, but the groom objected, and a fight ensued, in which several of the leaders of the kissing party were seriously injured. Burns was arrested. Blasts ana Quilts A very close friend of the inventor was more communicative. This gentleman said Mr. Tomlinson was a struggling lawyer when Mr. Edison met him. The professor threw all the business poss.ble in his way. The aoqaintance of the two ripened into the warmest friendship. Eight years ngo Mr. Tomlin•on had charge of all Mr. Edison's legal affairs. Later on the young lawyer made himself so indispensable to Mr. Edison that he made him attorney for the electric light compnnv. Toralinson's revenue from the company became soon so large that he hired nicely furnished offices at 40 Wall street, and became, through his ability, one of the best known patent lawyers. In July last Mr. Edison desired to capitalize the patent of his phonograph. His laboratory work kept him so occupied that he had little time to devote to business details. Whether at the suggestion of Mr. Tomlinson or some one else does not transpire, but Mr. Edison engaged E. T. Gilliland, a practical electrician, st a salary of $6,000 a year, to help raise the money necessary. The agreement was that he should receive 150 shares of stock in the new company and Tomlinson 300 shares. Gilliland and Tomlinson worked hard to secure the cash, and finally Interested Jesse H. Lippincott, of Pittsburg, in the scheme. One day the two called upon Mr. Edison and informed him that they had been offered 4500,000 for the invention. The professor was not satisfied with this offer. The thermometer registered 00 degs. above zero at Biddeford, Me., Friday, and one of the oldest ice men put in his time plowing on his farm.

Arnold, the Georgian promoters of the new south, had their interview with Gen. Harrison. Col. Buck went first, having been sent for by Gen. Harrison, and the conversation—whatever it was—had the effect of making him return very serious and as dumb as an oyster about his cabinet prospects. Perhaps Gen. Harrison suggested to that a recommendation signed by Senator Colquitt, Governor Gordon, Henry W. Grady and other Georgia Democrats was not just the kind of a recommendation upon which a Republican could act. Fur Garriage&SleigH Botes The jury in the case of William E.

Shamokin, Pa., Jan, 19.—Thomas Hague, of Coal Run, a small mining village three rfklles east of this place, was whipped by White Caps Thursday night and thrown into a creek with a rope around his body and kept submerged until he was almost dead. Three miners on their way home from work approached the spot where the outrage was being perpetrated and were compelled to stay on the scene until the White Caps executed their vengeance, the leader informing the miners that one of the band had noticed Hague early in the evening attempting to Commit an assault on a girl coming to Shamokin. Great excitement prevails in this place and Coal Township. Yesterday morning a number of town people received warnings to stop indulging in drunkenness, gamblinge, eta, or they would receive a visit from the White Caps. Mr. Baker (N.

Though Gen. Harrison and CoL Buck had a pleasant and instructive talk, it was in regard to the southern question that Gen. Harrison wrote to Col. Buck to come and see him. After CoL Buck's return Maj. Locke and Dr. Arnold called upon Gen. Harrison, and gave him their views on the new south. Mr. Springer said that the election took place on the first Tuesday in November. On that day the people of North Dakota would vote upon the constitution. He assumed that both Dakotas would ratify their respective constitutions. The president could not receive official information of the fact before Dec. 1. Within a week thereafter congress would meet, and both states could be admitted together. James Broadmeadow, of Shrewsbury, has received a letter from State Geologist QCorg* H.

The thefts have been going on for some time. A New Jersey Man Looking for Bis Share On motion of Mr. Toole a similar provision relative to the admission of Montana was embodied in tbe substitute. One peculiar development of Mrs. Harrison's independence of character is a dislike to be copied alter or made to set a fashion in dress or manners in spite of herself. If she gets an idea that other women are wearing their hair in a certain way or draping their skirts after a certain fashion just because she does it, she gets provoked, and changes the style of her hair or her skirts at once. There will be no fashions set from the White House while she is there. The Pittsburg gentleman lost no time in forming a corporation. He interested C. A. Cheever, the rubber dealer of this city, and Pennsylvania capitalists In the enterprise, •ud the stock went off like hot cakes, Messrs. Tomlinson and Oilliland being permitted to retain the shares agreed upon at the outset. The North American Phonograph company was incorporated and the stockholders were laughing in their sleeves at the ridiculously low price at which they had purchased the phonograph, when Professor Edison was given a tip that not only astonished, but finally grieved and enraged him. It was that Mr. Lippincott had actually paid $750,000 instead of (500,000 to Messrs. Tomlinson and Oilliland. Lancaster, Pa., Jan. ID.—Brown & Hensel, attorneys for Lambert B. Boltin, of Newark, N.

Baltin claims that on March 10, 1867, he sold to Martin for $1 a rough model of a brick machine, with the understanding that Martin was to perfect It, secure a patent at his own expense, and that for every improvement made by either they were to share equally in the profits. Baltin lost Bight of Martin and supposed the mar chine amounted to nothing until recently, when he saw Martin's advertisement in The Scientific American. He has caused a United States marshal to subpoena Martin to appear in the circuit court of tbe United States at the March term with a statement of the business and profits, and to show cause why Batlin should not receive one-half the profits on all the machines manufactured and sold since 1867.

Whether Gilliland had pocketed i he remainder of the $250,- 000 or had divided it with Tomlinson the reporter's informant was unable to positively state. Professor Edison was loath to believe that he could have been tricked by a man whom he had lifted from comparative obscurity and poverty to no inconsiderable fame and wealth. He summoned Tomlinson to his presence, and that gentleman indignantly denied that he had in any way wronged him. "Tbe Wizard," nevertheless, proceeded to sift the thing to the bottom.

This allows Republicans in joint meeting to vote for Sewell or Halsey or Hobart, or any one except Phelps, who characteristically refuses to let his name be used. If, in the course of the balloting, any Democratic votes are cast for a Republican candidate all the Republican votes will be instantly massed and thrown lor that candidate. Such a course, it will be seen, gives the Republican voters a chance to concentrate immediately and without further consultation upon any Republican to whom the Democraoy may give this chance of an election.

THE PITTSBURG BANK WRECK. Since then the neighboring farmers have been boring for clay in every direction, and are as much excited over it as if their farms were underlaid with gold. The few who ridiculed the idea at first have also caught the fever, and have men employed in prospecting nearly every day. The stratum was again struck, about 200 yards north, on an adjoining farm, and if the excitement keeps up it is safe to say there will be no crops raised in that section next summer. A company is now being formed to build a pottery. Thirty persons were killed by an explosion in Hyde colliery, near Manchester, Eng. Ex-Cashier Volght'n Embezzlement Will Reach Over ItX48,000.

President Sorg states, however, that the amount of the embezzlement chargod against ex-Cashier Voight—1118,000—will be increased when the examination of the books is completed. It is stated also that others outside of the bank will be found to have been implicated in its wreck. Ex-Cashier Voight was interviewed at the county jail, but would make no statement for publication. He positively refused to admit or deny that he took any of the bank's money. He said: "I have no money with which to employ counsel. I shall make a statement before the court at the time of my trial and let it go at that. I do not expect to get bail. I was with the bank nineteen years, and helped to start that institution." Edward J.

He said that they would not be sent to New Jersey until New York justice was done with them, and by that time they would be so well advanced in years that it would be hardly "worth while »o send them over there. In pursuance of this policy the* inspector sent the rascals to the E-sex Market Police Court yesterday afternoon, where they were held in $1,500 bail on oticn of throe several charges of burglary,and the girl, Jennie Webeter, was held in the same bail as a receiver of stolen goods.
