From Our Own Correspondent New York July 16 1878 describes citizen uproar over sparks noise and danger from the Metropolitan Elevated Railroad. Edison works on sound reduction while critics press for relief. The piece also notes the Advocate a bustling weekly and a fatal domestic arson attempt. It ends with hotel keepers forming a protective association led by Uriah Welch of the St Nicholas and a tale of a British demand for Twiggs swords valued at 35000 pounds.
