r of the California bakery, on Main
reel, between 22d and 23d "streets, was
ouicd from hi* sleep by a night watch*
an, whom he had instructed to call him
that hour, to get ready for the day's
ling. He woke wi.h a suffocating senati<Jn
as if the room were filled with
?oke,and after striking n light, which
i accomplished with some difficulty, he
und such to be the esse. Hurriedly
using his wife and children, who were
patently in a sort of stupor, canned by
e dense smoke which perTaded the enre
building, he removed them to a place
safety and alarmed the neighbors. The
ke shop, in the rear of the building,
id built against it, was found to be on
e. In a few moments the bore cart artred
from the United engine house, a
ream of water was applied, and the
tines were soon under headway. The
arm had become general by this time,
id all the fire bells in the city were
nging. Before the arrivals of the steams,
however, the Uames were extinguish*
. Upon examining his premises Mr.
jlir found that a thief had entered his
>uro through the window of a room
bich adjoins the bake shop, and passing
i stairs to the sleeping apartments had
ken a key from his (Mr. Kuhr'n) pants

Tss Tmlkpho**.?Hon Experiment* of
Memt\ Dvight and irorfAm.?Those induatrioui
Bcfcntists. Prof. Dwight and
Dr. Worthen, are still working with their
telephone, and their labore are meeting
with auoceea. Yesterday a wire was put
upon the telegraph poles, about ten feet
below the regular wires, between Dr.
Worthen's offioe on Market street, opposite
the McLure House, and rrof.
Dwight'* drug store, corner Chapline
and 24th streets. The course followed by
the wire was from Dr. Worthen's dental
office, in Uie second itory of the building,to
a telegraph pole on Market street, thence
down Market to 21st street, dowrt 21st to
Main, down Main to 24th, and up 24th to
the corner of Chapline into the drug
store. This wire w/w a common iron
wire, with conpcr wire connection*; It
wa*about a mile in length, two coils of
[half-mile wire being used, and run
through the most populous and consequently
the noisiest part of the city.
The apparatus at the upper end was
first placed on a table in I)r. Worthen's
dental oflicc, which opens on the street,
but the noise outside interfered to some
oxtent with conversation between the two
points, and it was removed to an inner
apartment, where there was leu disturbance.
Mr. John Morgan, Manager of the
W. U. telegraph office in this city, Dr.
Worthen and the writer were the only persons
present, but Mown. J. V. L. Rodger?,
M. L. Chandler, Dr. Allen and others
called in during the afternoon and
witnessed some of the experiments.
Prof. Dwight was "called" by means of
a battery in Dr. Wortbea'4 office and
his attention having been attracted to the
instrument, he made the fact known by
tapping gently upon the plate with his
fingers, the sound of which was heard
distinctly nt this end. A conversation
ensued between Mr. Dwight and the
gentlemen at Dr. Worthen's, who in turn
sat at the instrument. Jfot only could
the words he heard distinctly, and readily
I understood, hut voices could be recognized.
To talk through the Instrument
it was nece?sary to raise the voice but lit*
tie higher than the ordinary conversai
tlnlinl Inn* nml Si onntit tiu liuunl mm ilij.
tinctly by the listener as if the speaker
were in an adjoining apartment speaking
in a suppressed voice. The voices of
several person* who stood within three
feet of the instrument at Dwight'*, en*
gaged in conversation, contd be heard at
WortheuV. although they could not be
understood.
The writer applied his lips to the in*
Htrument and requested the Professor to
favor the company with a song, when the
latter replied that he wasn't much on
the sing, and didn't know a song to his
name, but he was willing, like Mrs.
Chick, to make an effort. Then he was
heard to hum "Yankee Doodle," in a
voice sadly out of repair, which may be
excused when we remember that he
never claimed to be a vocalist. The air
could be heard in the room, some distance
from the instrument, as plainly as
if the singer were standing in the hall
outside. After this excellent performance
the reporter was cruel enough to
suggest to the Professor the propriety of
hiring a hall for the balance of his operatic
selections. The Professor replied
that he didn't profess to be a Brignoli or a
Ferranti, and that he would like to hear
an appropriate selection from some of the
vocalists at this end of the line. As the
reporter had forgotten his hymn book,
and Morgan couldn't sing without notes,
and the Dr. was too hoarte, a reply was
made accordingly.
Dwight was then asked if he couldn't
get Pap Freeze to blow on his fife. The
old gentleman, who lives on the opposite
corner from the drug store, was hunted
up, and in a few moments the gentlemen
at Worthen'd heard his ear-piercing fife,
as shrill as when he marched with the
Wide Awake boys in I860.
The reporter, looking to the practicability
of the concern, asked Dwight if
there was "anything new" down in the
Fifth Ward, and waaanBwered : "No, not
a tiling?not even a dog light." A convernation
followed in regard to the buccesH
of the experiment, the position of
the instrument'', etc., which waa carried
on as intelligently as if the speakers were
separated by only a few feet.
Mr. Morgan'* practiced ear. while at
the instrument, read a number of measagea
which were pawing over the wires,
although they were Heparated from the
wire uttuchcd to the telephone a distance
of ten feet. One of these weaaageH waa
from Frank Walters to a friend, asking
him to come and Bee him, another from
John MeCluskey, ordering Rood*, and bo
I on.
Amor;; other experiments, a tuning
fork wa? used by Dr. Worthen and heard
distinctly by Prof. Dwight. The experiments
were all interesting, as well aa entertaining.
We believe that it is the intention
of Messrs. Dwight and Worthen
to leave the wire in ita present position
for a month or so, and other interesting
experiments are expected.

Unlike some former fishing excursions
from Bridgeport, this one was
conducted strictly on the Murphy plan.

Thi GooD-Bimnrrr Libil Suit.-The
jury in the libel cue of J. H. Good, Esq.,
vs. E. A. Bennett ex-Auditor, yesterday
morning returned a verdict for the plain*
tiff (or $5,000 damages. The caee *u
commenced inlthe Circuit Court on Tue?day,
and ?u tried before (he following
jury: Jacob Dekue, Peter French, J. t,
Ewing, A. Howell, J. II. Smith, Lew.
Manner*, Dennis Savery.T. J. Keaman,
John Moffat, T. W. Plnnncy and William
Heburn. Tho argument of the counsel,
H. M. Russell for plaintiff and Col.W. W.
Arnett for the defense, wu concluded on
Thursday evening, when the caae went to
the jury.
The auit wu baaed on a communication
which appeared in the Charleston
Courier in the spring of 1875, over the
signature of "Hiram," in which the
plaintiff was charged with joining in a
conspiracy to secure a will from the late
Shepherd McMechen upon his deathbed,
.for his own personal benefit. Although
the letter purported to have been
written at Kenwood, it was imputed by
Mr. Good to ex-Auditor Bennett, who
had been vigorously prosecuted by the
former while on trial in the Legislature
for malfeasance in office.
The verdict was a matter of surprise to
a great many, as it is such a common
thing nowadays (or juries to disagree,
There ia a difference of opinion concerning
the justness of the verdict, but the
jury ia generally considered a good one.
Personal Points.?The Bridgeport correspondent

Good Advice.?Now is the time of
year for Pneumonia. Lung Fever. Ac.
Every family should have a bottle of
Boscnra'a German Syrup. Don't allow
for one moment that cough to take
hold of your child, your family or yourself.
Consumption, Asthma. Pneumonia,
Croup, Hemorrhages, and other fatal diseases
mav set in. Although it is true
German Strop is curing thousands of
these dreaded diseases, yet it is much better
to have it at hand when three doses
will cure you. One bottle will last your
whole family a winter and keep you safe
from danger. If you are consumptive,
do not rest until you have Jried this remedy.
Sample bottles 10 cento. Regular
site 75 cents. Hold by your Druggist.
