Sleeping-car tales from the Pan-Hanitle line station to Pittsburg
A Pittsburg reporter recalls eerie moments on a Pan-Handle sleeper. A sickly man begged for a berth, pulled a revolver and fired, killing himself. Frank Laighton of St Louis once hid from pursuit after a club quarrel. A New York Hebrew named Nathan dies in a berth, prompting anxious farewells at Jersey City. A nervous man pleads with a sister at the depot, and a couple on a try ends in a near scene. Other recollections include a water cooler moment and a frightened wife, a couple kept in a stateroom, and a Pullman scene with a family from Allegheny.

Mind-Curing Telegraph Invention Demonstrated In Philadelphia
A revolutionary system for telegraphy and telephony, claimed to outpace existing Morse and telephone methods, was showcased at a Continental Hall exhibition in Philadelphia. The device uses a keyboard and wheel mechanism to transmit and print messages clearly, with private, direct transmission and potential applications for railroads, express firms, and brokers. The inventors, backed by a capital of 2,000,001, describe it as a major leap, possibly a true revolution in electrical communication, though details remain guarded.
