8 THE TIMES NEW BL00MFIEL1), PA., APK1L. 27, 1880. Sermons Heard by Telephone. On Saturday last a telephone was placed in Plymouth Church, (he transmitters be ing nt the back of the Mount of 01 i yen rending desk, and connected with the resi dence of Mr. Alfred E. Poach, of Now York, a brother of Moses S. Beach, and with the house of Mr. Henry Pope at Eliz abeth, N. .T. Yesterday morning, before the oongtegtitlon assembled, a gontletnan tried the Instrument, saying to Elisabeth : " I am standing six feet from the trans mitter, cau you hear me ?" and the reply came back, "We hear you distlncly," With (lie residence of Mr. Beach in this city equally satisfactory communication was assured, aud Mr. Bench enjoyed the ser mon by wire. Mr. Weld, the sexton of the Church, shook his bead gravely when speaking of the introduction of the tele phone. "Iam afraid," said he, "that this wilt be the end of our prosperity asa church, for who will pay fOOO for a pew when he can have a telephone and listen to Mr. Beecher in his own parlor ?" The experiment in the morning was reasonably satisfactory. The line from Mr. Beecher's church to the central office in Montague street, Brooklyn, was strung .at the suggestion and expenses of Mr. Beach for the purpose of the experiment. .At. Mr. Beach's end of the line five re ceivers woro attached to tho wire. Mr. Beach's line from, the central office to his house was not in perfect order and so Mr. Beecher's words came over the confused wires with tho sighing of winds and occa sional noises like sharpening a saw. When Mr. Beecher thumped his desk (under which the transmitters were secured) a -sudden croaking as of a frog sounded ' over the line. However, with occasional inter i'uptions of ono kind and another, a great .part of the morning's sermon was distinct ly heard at Mr. Beach's house. The -singing by the large choir and the playing of the organ wore distinctly heard. JV. Y. World. Bound to Win. l)on in Chester county they have a queer way of doing many things, and 'among those queer things is the auctioning ff the repairs of the township roads. The other day the publio roads iu East Bradford township were sold for three years, and are to be kept in perfect order during that time. Three years ago the en tire publio roads of the township brought 95,570, but on Monday about $3,350 was realized, or a gain over the last sale of 2, 500. It appears John M. Hildeburn and Aaron Davis were competitors for a certain piece of road, which at the sale three years ago brought $70. They commenced bid ding at this contract at the above figure, and gradually came down to nothing, when Mr. Davis said he would give one cent for the privilege of mending and keeping it in repair for for the next three years. This stirred up Mr. Ilildeburn's mettle, and he said that be would give a dollar, and so the contestents crossed each other alternately until the contract was knocked off to Mr. Hildeburn for the sum of $9. The laugh comes in just here, inasmuch as the lucky purohaser will be compelled to keep the road in good repair for the next three years and pay $3 a year for the priv ilege of doing so, and also pay his share of road taxes in the bargain. This mode of doing business is a novel one and the first of the kind on record ; but what's the use, mettle will tell. A Strange Suicide Stephen Pillsbury, aged thirty, was found almost decapitated yesterday in his father's barn, at Chelsea, Mass. The in strument of death was a perfootly executed guillotine, which the ingenious suicide had probably spent a month in manufacturing. The machine consisted of two perpendicu lar pieces of the joist about two feet apart and reaching from the floor to tho roof of the barn. About six feet from the floor had been adjusted in a piece of wood a large, sharp axe, so that it moved up aud down in a groove. This axe was held in its place by a waler-pot filled with water, attached to a lever, which in turn was made to support the axe. A hole had been made in the water-pot, so that when suffi cient water had leaked from it to over come tho leverage above the axe would fall. When all arrangements had been made the young man got upon his knees, with ether to bis month, and awa'.tod death. t33 Near Lam pases, Texas, a farmer named Reuben Connet was sitting with his family around a fire, at 0 o'clock at night, when lightning struck a tall tree near the rcof of the bouse, ran down the chimney, aud descended into the group, tearing everything to pieces. George, a boy of fouiteen, was struck on the temple and instantly killed, the lightning lacerating bis foot aud tearing his shoes and clothes to shreds. The entire current struck An ns, a little girl, on the top of the head, and passed down through her body, but she was uot killed. The father and the youngest daughter were knocked senseless, but both recovered. Mrs. Connot, who had been out visiting, came in and found the whole family spread out on the floor. 1880. 1880. ; SPUING What Do Pcoiile Say?
