New York Mayor Candidate Gormly Confronts Police Chief
In a late night Detroit style confrontation, the mayoral hopeful George Gormly faces Chief Connell in Gormly's New York apartment. The chief presses for withdrawal from the race citing past crimes and threats of revelation, while Chaloner records a statement detailing Gormly's confession of a 1882 Wyoming incident and the motive behind his fly with a miner's wife. The scene ends with a vow to publish or suppress, and a dramatic cliffhanger as the statement continues.

Nail gun designed for shingles speeds work
The nailer, built for shingles, reduces worker effort to almost zero except for lifting and repositioning. Nails drop from a hopper through parallel slots, hang by heads as they descend, then are held under a plunger to drive into material. Gloves protect hands and fingers stay unbruised.
Weighing scoop designed to speed grocery work
A Philadelphia inventor devised a combined scoop and scale for grocers. The device shows the weight of contents like sugar or tea via a tape connected to the handle and scoop. A downward arm and hinge allow the scoop to tip, with the tape indicating weight, enabling faster bagging without using separate scales.

Germans Patent Masonry Patching Method Tested
Ingenious German engineers recently adopted a method that avoids tearing down walls by pumping watery cement under five atmospheres into cracks of masonry. Two long railway bridges near Hamburg with 01 foot arches showed cracks but remained standing as the cement filled gaps and hardened. The process renews ancient stone structures without rebuilding, offering a practical patching solution for weak venerable bridges.
