SAVED BY CORSET STEEL The Bullet Tired by Wilkcs-Iinrrc Woman's Husband Glances Oil". Wllkes-Barre, June 3. David R. Evans Is a stone mason living on Re gent street, Wllkes-Barre, bilt he has not been working much during the past year. He has been drinking heavily, and causing his family considerable trouble. He was not home last night, but came In at about 8 o'clock this morning, and had a few woids with his wife, whereupon he drew a revolver and fired at her. The bullet fortunate ly struck one of the steels of her cor set, and glanced off, making only a slight wound. Evans then turned the revolver on his daughter Sarah, aged 17 years, but the revolver failed to work, and the daughter escaped unhurt. Evans Im mediately fled, and at last accounts he had not been captured, though officers are searching for him everywhere. BLEW OUT THE GAS. Townndn Yonng Lndy Snfd to Ilnvo Hnd n Narrow Escape. Sayre, June 3. Bessie Bennett, a young lady residing In Towanda, came near bringing death to herself last night at the Wilbur house. She went to her room about 11 o'clock and upon retiring blew out the gas and did not turn It off. About an hour later some of the oc cupants of nearby rooms dlscoveied that gas -was escaping and the clerk was summoned. Miss Bennett's room was locked and It was with some diffi culty that she was awakened. The room was aired and she soon revived from a stupor. Had she remained much longer In the room, death would no doubt have resulted. She said she did not know how to attend to the gas. CLAMS THERE IS OIL Test Will Soon Ho Mndo on Wynlus ing Side oftho Itivcr. Wyaluslng, June 3. C. W. Champion, of Golden Hill, who has been leasing oil lands over the river In Southern Brad ford and Northern Wyoming, was In town for the past week leasing lands for his company on this side of the river, says the Rocket. He Is Instruct ed to lease land east of the river as far north as Towanda and as soon as suffi cient land Is secured, his company will put down a test well. When interviewed in regard to the outlook for oil' in this section his smile was not only broad but he gave such a glowing account of the outlook across the river at Lovelton where the pres sure of ras at present registers 625 pounds, that his hearers at once became as sanguine of success as he Is. LETTERS OVER THE WIRE Telegraph May Merge Into Mail Service. Invention Which Transmits Three Thousand Words a Minute. From the Now York Tribune. An Increasing amount of attention Is being given nowadays to the possi bilities of rapid telegraphy. By the Wheatstone system, in which a pie viously punched strip of paper is fed Into the transmitter, from 100 to 1G0 words a minute are- now easily sent over a single wire, a speed which Is three or four times that of the operator who manipulates a Morse key. By the Rogers system, not yet In general use, it Is claimed that 200 words a minute can be handled nnd printed on a type writer automatically. What is called the Delany system Is still more ra-pld. But all of these achievements and pro jects are surpassed by a plan which was described last Wednesday evening to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in this city by Lieutenant George Owen Squler, of the Third Unit ed States artillery, and assistant pro fessor of physics at Dartmouth. The same story was told simultaneously In Chicago by Profesor Bedell, a well known expert In such matters. In some experiments conducted by Lieutenant Squler, in co-operation with Professor A. C. Crehore at Fort Monroe, a -speed of 1,200 words per minute was actually attained, and the assertion is made that from 3,000 to 6,000 words a minute may be sent by the same system between points as far apart as New York and Chicago. ALTERNATING CURRENT USED, One great novelty about the new 35c " SOc " IMIMMIMf OC " 35c Carpets, Draperies ani Wall Papers, 419 Lncka. Ave. plan is that It utilizes an alternating current Instead of a constant one. With the former typo of current the electric ity flows first in one direction and then In tho other with perfect regularity, and with a frequency of change that can bo adjusted to the requirements of tho work which the current is called upon to perform. Now it Is a familiar fact that If a constant current which possesses any particular force is Inter rupted by tho separation of two wire terminals that have been in contact a spark will be emitted. But if an alternating current bo Interrupted, and if tho interruDtion occurs at Just the stage of an alternation which is mid way between a positive and a negative wave, there will be no spark, because tho force which was flowing in ono direction subsides to zero before it be gins to flow In the other. What Messrs. Squler and Crehore propose, then, Is to Interrupt their current and restore It at Just such "zero points" in the oscll llatlon as this. But the sparks will not disappear unless tho "make" nnd "break" occur at precisely the right In stant; and thus a single and valuable guide Is afforded the operator In ADJUSTING HIS APPARATUS. When ho finds that sparking has ceased he knows that his transmitter Interrupts and restores the flow at the zero stage, and Is working In perfect harmony with the particular frequency of alteration employed. The perform ance of tho Instrument would then be "synchronous" with that of the dy namo or generator. Hence, such a tel egraph may properly bo called a "syn chronograph." In fact, that Is the name adopted by Messrs. Squler and Crehore. Now, let us suppose that the Morse alphabet, which Is composed of dots and dashes, Is to be tried with this sys tem. In that caso a break lasting from the beginning of aposltlve wave until its end might stand for tho dot, and the break from the beginning of a positive wave, but continuing past Its subsidence through the rise and fall of the negative wave also, would make a dash. Of course. It does not matter whether the Interruption occurs at the beginning of a positive or of a nega tive wave. The only essentials are that It shall begin at a zero stage and shall last Just half a "cycle" or a whole "cycle." It takes a positive and a neg ative wave together to make a cycle. From these statements one will readily Infer that the length of the spaces BETWEEN DOTS AND DASHES or combinations thereof must also be either half a cycle or some multiple thereof. In most of the experiments described In Lieutenant Squler's story the, continental code was used. In this two dots are used In place of the dash of the Morse alphabet. But the prin ciples Involved are Identical. The machine by which messages are sent with an alternating current Is very simple. A narrow wheel with a flat, narrow periphery is kept in ro tation at a rate which is rapid and Is equal to an integer number of cycles. That Is to say, when the time required for a revolution Is divided by the length of one cycle, there must be no frac tion remaining. The quotient must be a whole number, like 40. This relation between the two can be maintained accurately by driving the wheel with gearing, either from the dynamo which operates the current, or, what is more practicable, an alternating current motor operated by the very electricity used In telegraphing. Let us imagine, now, that the wire carrying the mes sage is cut in two, and the adjacent ends are provided with FLEXIBLE METALLIC TIPS, or "brushes," and that these two brushes rest side by side on the peri phery of the wheel. Obviously, the current will flow from one brush Into the metal of the wheel, and thence Into the other brush, so long as the wheel remains clean. If, however, a little patch of paper or other Insulat ing material foe attached to the peri phery at a certain point, every time it comes round it will break the contact between the brush and the wheel, and thus open the circuit. As soon as the patch Is past the connection will be re stored. This, h'owever, was not the exact plan really pursued. In practice, a long, narrow strip of paper was kept In mo tion by the wheel, Just as a belt Is by a pulley. This strip had been previous ly perforated with holes of different lengths, long or short, and carefully spaced. One brush rested on top of It and tho other pressed upward against It from below, the two being removed a short distance from the wheel and eltuated one directly above the other. So long as the brushes were separated by the paper strip no current would flow, but when a hole permitted ono to reach through and touch the other the current WOULD BE RESTORED. The Interruptions and restorations of the current always occurred at the zero stage, between positive and negative waves, so that no sparkling resulted after the brushes were once adjusted. For convenience, In one experiment, the ends of a short strip were fastened to gether precisely like belting, and tho same message was sent over and over again. An actual speed of 1200 words a minute was secured In this way, and three or four times that rate Is said to bo entirely feasible. The precise form of the receiver used on this occasion need not be fully de scribed, because It Is not especially proferable to several other well-known 'ovrri'f of automatic receivers. It Is sufficient for piesent purposes to say that the current was led through a coll of wire mound an optical Instrument known as an "analyzer." A beam of polarized light had been sent from an arc lamp through a series of apparat us of which' the analyzer formed a; part, and this particular object had been ro tated far enough to extinguish tho ray when no current Was flowing. In ac cordance with a well-known law, the passage of nn electric current "rotated the plane of polarization" in such a way as to permit tho light to pass again. A highly sensitive and moving photographlo plate beyond, therefore, recorded th'e rapid flashes which re sulted. A Possible Explanation.

Prices on the stock exchange were In full awing up ward all along the line today, when Samuel L. Post, Jr., nn bid and popular member of the stock exchange, was seized with heart disease and expired almost immediately on the floor. This visitation of death put an Immediate stop to the trading In stocks; and it was not resumed for nearly two hours. Tho volume of business was", in conse quence largely curtailed, many active operators withdrawing from tho deal ings for the remainder of the day. Tho London buying wns tho most potent factor In the market and sup plemented by the sympathetic strength radiated from some special stocks, It moved prices upwards to a point ma terially above last night's close In tho great many stocks, and left them a fraction below last night's close, and at or near the low point touched in a realizing movement earlier In the day.
