FIFTY YEARS AGO
EXTRACTS FROM THE HERALD The following are extracts from the New Zealand Herald of September 20, 1882: The western fire alarm circuit is now in working order. The eastern circuit was finished some time ago, so that the city fire alarm system is now complete. The placards posted up at the alarm posts have had a happy effect and no false alarms have been given since they were put up. Two cases of telephones for the Superintendent of Telegraphs arrived per the City of Sydney. The Auckland department expects to receive a large supply of these instruments in a fortnight, when it is anticipated that all applications, some 20, will be satisfied. The subscribers now number 120. ' . . The Emperor Francis Joseph of Austra is now on a visit to Trieste, and intelli gence is to hand that a man with a number of bombs in h's possession has been arrested in the vicinity of the Imperial residence. It is supposed that an attempt on the Emperor's life was contemplated.
