Inquiries concerning the use of oxygen gas in cases of cholera were made in the New York Health Department yesterday bya re orter of the Evening Post. Dr. Edwar H. Janos. chief medical oflicer of the hospital service, said that he had known of the gas being used with good results in cases of collapse not resulting from cholera. when it was necessary to bridge over an interval, so as to give nature and remedies an opportunity to act against disease. He thought that its use in cholera was worthy of oonsideraton. Dr. Moreau Morris. Obie! Sanitary Inspector, said that he administered oxgyen gas to a cho- lera patient in this city in 1866. At that time he‘was experimenting with the as. chiefly in the cases of lung disease. an he also used it in other 'cases where collapse had occurred or was feared. Where the‘ patient was only just going into the collapse the inhalation of the gas was efieotive. but in the cholera cases the patient was already in a state of collapse and was not saved. The generation of oxygen gas was at that time attended with much difficulty. He could not produce it rapidly or abun- dantly enough and it was not pure. Now its manufacture had been reduced to a system by which it could be produced as abundantly as desired. Still, its produc- tion was expensive, and this (act. together wth the dimculty of carrying about bulky retorts, etc., would tend to restrict the administration of oxygen gas among poor people during a cholera epidemic. Hence Its usefulness would be chiefly in hospital practice. He did not think that it would be serviceable as a prophylactic against cholera. or as a remedy against the disease per u, but that it would be valuable as a difiusible stimulant to increase the action of the heart and revive the energy of the patient.

The prieoner was taken to the Twentyoninth precinct station- house and locked up in cell No. 12. In speaking of his thrilling escape, Detective Price said to our reporter: " How did I feel? Why, I thought I was gone, sure. But I made up my mind it one of, us went the other would follow. I held on to him like grim death to a nigger.

I cautioned him not to eayjnythjng until he I._J , n Miguel Ohaeon, the murderer of Maria Williams. the colored woman, at No. 128 West Twenty-eighth street, was captured yesterday morning, and the attendant in- eidente were as soul-thrilling as any ever embodied in the wildest creation of the romaneist's brain. Immediately subsequent to the shooting Detective Price, of the Thirtieth Street Police Station, was assigned to the on e, and, in company with a friend of Ohacon, he made a thorough search of the Eighth Ward, and a number of saloons the Cuban was known to fre-‘ quent were inspected. When the detective reached the house, No. 70 Spring street, oc- cupied by a Cuban familyâ€"friends of the man soughtâ€"he sent his companion in to inquire if there were any tidings 01 01180011. and while awaiting hie return crossed the street. The man came out of the house shortly and informed Price that the murderer had been there and had told his friends that he had shot a person, but he was ignorant how serious was the wound he had inflicted, and be neglected to tell them whom he had shot. He stated, on leaving the house, that he was going to his uncle's saloon at No. 128 Bleecker street, and from there intended to go straight to the house at the murdered woman. Acting upon this clue, the detective proceeded to the house where the shooting took place, and on entering found lying on the table a photograph of the murderer. A thorough search of the apartments was made, but withoutresulting in anything of moment, and after making arrangements to have the house well watched, he started down town again to No. 70 Spring street, having con- cluded that sooner or later the murderer would return there. He took up his position under the stoop of the next dwelling and waited for fully three- quarters of an hour before his vigil was rewarded. At last, in the neighborth of 2.30, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps . approaching, and a man appeared, gazing up and down the street, apparently on the lookout for danger. His face was partially concealed, but suflicient was seen by the aid of a near-by lamp to enable the de- tective to make him out a negro. The suspected person seemed satisfied that the coast was clear, and he hastened across the street to No. 70, rapidly ascended the steps, knocked very softly on a panel, and a moment later disappeared within the half- opened door. The detective was now satis- ‘ fled from the stranger’s suspicious actions that he was the man for whom he was look- ing, and waking up a friend who opportunely resided near by he deepatohed him to the station-house for officers, who soon arrived upon the scene. He stationed his assistants in the front and rear of the house to prevent an escape, and. accompanied by an omcer, he entered and mounted tothe top floor, where lived the friends of the murderer. There he found a party of Cubans playing cards, buta vigilant search revealed no trace of his man, nor could he extract any inforâ€" mation from the inmates of the room. The window, an old-fashioned dormer one, was in the rear, and from it Price peered into the outer darkness. For a time he saw nothing. but at last his attention was at- tracted by a white object just behind the chimney. and perceiving that a fire-escape projected from under the window,leaving but the s aceof a few feet between it and the roof, eimagined that Ohaoon might poso sibly have made his escape in that way. Calling upon Policeman O‘Brien to follow, he stepped out and gained the gutter. The roof was peaked and high pitched,and it was with difficulty thatPrice maintained his foot- ing. The darkness was intense, and as the detective made his way upward on his hands and knees he kept his eyes fixed upon the speck of white. At last he noticed that it moved and then paused. The detective still moved noiselessly upward, and when within an arm’s length his arm shot out, and with the grip of death he clutched Ghacon, the sought-for murderer. The hunted man was in his white under- olothes. and the detective had grasped his foot. Unavailing struggles to release the captured member followed, but Price’s grip was of iron. " Come down quietly,” said he. “ there’s no use in making trouble. You're wanted. I've got you, and I swear I’ll hold you." With the words the detec. tive began a retrograde movement, still clutching the feet. At that instant his foot slipped, he rolled rapidly downward, and would have been dashed to instant death had he not been clutched by Policeman O'Brien,who caught him only in the nick of time.

A curious point in diamond lore has just been established, to the delight of savants, in Paris, where the exhibition of the crown jewels at the Louvre has made the subject very popular for the moment. It has long been laid down, says the Pall Mall Gazette, that the diamond has the power of retain- ing light and of afterward emitting itin the dark. The theory has been well buttressed by reasons. but the proof has not been easy of test. All, or nearly all. the great diamondsâ€"such asthe Kohinoor, the Re. gent, the Grand Mogulâ€"cannot for pub. \ lie reasons be made the subject of experi- ment, and stones of a lesser size do not al- ways give satisfactory results. Happily. a private individual, the owner of a gem of ‘ ninety-two carats. and estimated at a value of 300.000 francs, has lent his diamond for scientific investigations. These have been most satisfactory, and the “ phosphores- eence " of the stone may be regarded as preved. The diamond was exposed for an hour to the direct action of the sun's rays and afterward removed into a dark room. For more than twenty minutes afterward it emitted a light, feeble indeed, but still sufficiently strong to make a sheet of white paper held near it quite visible in the dark. A similar result was arrived at by a very different experiment. and light was gener- ated by rubbing the stone with a piece of hard flannel. lman." then deeply involved in the study lot the Molly Maguire cases. came to the conclusion that “ Mac " was his man. He engaged him at a high salary, instructed him personally for hours every day, and finally turned him over to the Philadelphia agency, which had the special management of this great case. Hardly a great crime has been committed during the last thirty years in which Pinkerton and his men have not figured. and in the majority of cases with success. The telegra b has already announced that Allan inkerton. the well known detective. had died at Chicago. He was born in Glasgow in 1810. the son of asmall tradesmen. He married young and imme- diately after left for the western hemis- phere. landing in Canada. A new post village in Bruce county. Ont.. is now named after him. The oung cou le'_s early struggles were a ser es of her ships. and after many vicissitudes Pinkerton went to Chicago, where he engaged in the cc..per trade. He afterward moved to the neigh- borhood of Dundee, Ill.. where he purchased a small farm. This was. as near as can be ascertained. about 1847. Pinkerton was then about 28 years of age. and it was then that he made his first detective ven- tures asan amateur. Horse thieves were on the rampage in those days. and Allan Pinkerton. after having been successful in hunting down a rascal who had stolen one of his horses. was employed by neighbors until his reputation as a detective reached the adjoining counties. What gained him a reputation all over Illinois, and even‘ further. was in exactly the same line. But the feat which gave Allan Pinkerton a national reputation was to conduct Abra- ham Llnooln safely through Baltimore to the inauguration in Washington. Pinker- ton knew of the plot to assassi- nate the President-elect in Baltimore, which was then completely in the hands of a rebel mob. Riotous scenes and attacks upon Federal troops were the order of the day. It was said, though the story was speedily denied, that Pinkerton accomplished his hazardous task with the aid of one of his female operatives, who occupied the same seat in the car as the President,who,wore a bonnet and a thick veil, which completely concealed his well known features. Ashawl thrown over the knees gave " Old Abe” the appearance of an elderly lady. as whose companion posed Pinkerton’s lady detective. The latter is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, where a space is reserved for Pinkertons and their employees. The graves are decorated once a year. Allan Pinker- ton. although to all outward appear- ances a cold and unsympathetic man, never forgot a friend or those who served him faithfully. The agency was established in 1853. Now the various agencies at present employ about 200 first-class detectives. men and women, whose pay ranges from $5 a day to $5,000 a year. Allan Pinkerton was a man who knew no fear, and numerous are the exploits in which he took his life in his own hand, figuratively speaking. At one occasion in Detroit. he was so severely handled by his adversaries that his life was deepaired of. 1 A partial lameness remained to the last as 1 the result of the bloody encounter. He 1 was a man who detected at once what 1 qualities there was in a person that came 1 under his observation. A striking illus- 1 tration of this fact is the career of McPar- . lan, the great detective in the Molly 1 Maguire cases. McParlan was acoachman . in the employ of a merchant who resides . i l in Chicago. The stables of this gentleman joined those _of Pinkerton. and “ the old Dl-monds Giving Light In the Dark.

The site or the once important city is ap~ propriately marked now by the oldest obelisk that has yet been discovered, with the exception of a small one in the necropo- lie of Memphis. The companion to this existing obelisk (for obelisks are always erected in pairs) passed away over twelve hundred years ago. The two were erected four or five thousand years ago. The re- maining one is a shaft sixty-six feet high, of red granite. covered with hieroglyphics. The metal on the pyramidium at the top has passed away, and the successive inun- dations of the Nile have piled a good many feet oiimud about the monument. The inventors and owners of the patent are not in the market with rights or stock for sale, but are engaged in building lines for the actual transaction of business.

It is the purpoeect the Standard Multiplex Telegraph Oom- pauy to extend the system throughout the entire country, reaching all the leading cities as rapidly as possible. and to connect intermediate cities and towns. In order to more quickly a’nd efiiciently accomplish this work, it is proposed to district the country into five grand districts, the com- panies controlling such districts to license subordinate companies for special routes and localities, so that a local exchange and general telegraph system coverigg the entire country may be accomplish .

It is unmistakable that Mr. Delaney has succeeded in reducing to practice whet is undoubtedly a new at. The system has been examined by the leading electricieus and telegraphers in the country. and they all unite in pronouncing it as important on improvement over the quadruple: system as the quadruple: system was on the or- dinary single wire urengement‘ which it aimed to supersede. The electricians. it seems. are never idle. The latest inventicn consists in the cou- eeption and successlul development 0! a combination of instruments capable ct utilising a single telegraph wire for Its simultaneous transmission of almost numberless messages with as much ease and rapidity as it the distant points were connected by a multitude oi lines. The in- vention is known as the synchronous mulfl- glex telegraph. and the inventor is Mr. P. . Delany. ct New York. a young man who first commenced his career in electrical matters in the capacity oi an operator at the oflioe o! the o d Franklin Lithograph Company in this city. He has been at work on his hobby for some two or three years. and it has now been brought to a degree at success little short of pertec. tion. The first considerable demonstra- tion of this tact was aflorded on Monday evening over a line between this cit and Providence. which was witne by several prominent electricians. journalists and others. The inventor managed the ex eriments at this end of the line and E ward A. Callahan, one 0! his associates. directed afiairs in Provi- dence. Half a dozen Morse operators at either end of the line worked with each other at the same time with as much ease and speed as it they were furnished with half a dozen different wires. The average speed obtained in a five-minute contest was :twenty-three words per minute, and later. in a quarter of an hour trial. an average of thirty words per minute was easily ob tained during a portion of the time. A trial of printing instruments, especially devnsed for this system, was subsequently had, and the results secured sustained the claim of the inventor that no less than thirty-six messages can be transmitted by them over a single wire at the same time, making a total of seventy-two telegrams passing simultaneously. It is not necessary that this stated number of telegrams should be working together in opposite directions. for the whole number or any portion of them can work in a single direc- tion just as well if it is desirable. In brief. the invention allows the same Operations to be carried on over a single wire by a plur- ality of operators as it there was a separate wire provtded for each, as in the common system of telegraphy.
