The H. D. Terrell Combination Plow.
NVe publish the advertisement of the
“ H. D. Terrell Combination Plow,” else¬
where in this paper, and take pleasure in
directing the reader’s attentiou to the
same,
This plow is certainly one of the best
we have ever seen. It is made in sec
tions, and can be changed from a plain
scooter to a turning shovel, sweep or
scrape in a moment’s time, and at no ex¬
pense- The plow is made with a detach¬
able steel point, which costs no more than
the blacksmith will charge to sharpen the
ordinary plow when dull. These points
can be kept on hand and are always ready
for use, without going to the blacksmith
shop. The point constitutes less than
one-third of the plow- When it wears
out, it can be thrown away, and a new
one put on, when the plow is as good’as a
new one. The point being made of steel,
will last much longer than an ordinary
iron plow. It costs no more than it
does to sharpen the plow, while it is al¬
ways at hand and ready for use, The
same body or plow hoe, will answer for
all purposes, and can be converted into a
shoNel, scooter, sweep or scrapie, by the
attachment of the necessary wings, &c.,
which can be done in a moment by any
ordinary plow-boy. The plow works well
and is a continual saving to the farmer all
the year round in going to the blacksmith
shop and in having so many kinds of
plows made. It exactly ‘‘ fills the will lougfelt
want" with the farmers, and very
soon be in use all over this country.

Stealing an Engine and Pay Car.
On last Monday night one of the boldest and
most desperate attempts at robbery occurred in
Atlanta, ever before attempted in this country.
And why it has never been attempted before is a
little singular, because the same opportunity has
often been presented. It was the stealing of an
engine and pay ear, and au attempt to rob the
same.
It seems the pay car of the Richmond and Dan
ville railroad arrived in Atlanta oa Monday ev¬
ening for the purpose of paying off the various
employes of the road in that city.
The car had left Richmond about the 1st of
July, with about $100,000 on board, and the
paymaster had been paying it out all along the
road, until he reached Atlanta. There were two
safes on board the car, iu which the money was
securely kept. It appears to have been known
that there were about $30,000 in the safes on
Monday night. This induced the robbers to lay
a plan for stealing it. The pay car and a supply car
were left standing on the “union track" just be¬
side the Markham house, and but a few steps
from the east end of the union passenger depot.
The paymaster lives in the pay car. lie eats,
sleeps, and hashis office in it. lie keeps a manser¬
vant in the cat to do the cooking, &c. They were
the sole occupants of the car on Monday night.
They had retired to rest about to o’clock, having
locked up securely, and put out the lights. Be¬
fore doing so, however, the paymaster had given
orders for his car to follow' the morning train out
at 5.30, Tuesday morning.
While all this was going on in the pay car, and
thepaymasterand his faithful servant were sleeping
sweetly and unconsciously, the evil-hearted rob¬
bers were at work to accomplish their scheme.
A construction train of the Georgia railroad had
reached Atlanta late Monday evening, and was
run upon the side-track near the coal schute.—
The engineer had “banked'’ his fire in the en¬
gine, and the water was still hot in the boiler.
The construction train carries “bunk” cars for
the hands to sleep in, and at 10 o’clock the en¬
gineer and all the laborers had retired *0 their
respective bunks and were sleeping soundly.
From the point where the construction train
was standing on the Georgia road to the union
passenger depot, a distance of 400 or 500 yards,
there are at least a dozen tracks, which belong
to the Georgia and Richmond and Danville
roads. They are for shifting purposes, and are
operated by various switches.
The plan of the robbers was to steal the afore¬
said construction engine, change all the switches
necessary to enable them to run it up to where
the pay car was standing, attach the engine to
it, pull it away into the country, and rob it of
its valuable tieasure.
This part of their plan was executed wilhout
an accident It being at a late hour in the night,
they had 110 trouble in boarding the engines,
which they found had plenty of steam to move
it quietly away. They then ran up to the pay
car, attached the engine to it, and pulled out for
the country.
The switches being changed to connect with the
Georgia track, and they forgetting or neglecting
to change them so as to connect with the Rich¬
mond and Danville track, they inn down the
Georgia .roaJ, instead of 0,1*! on the Richmond
and Danville as they evidently intends j to do.
When the -pay car began to move rapidly, the
paymaster was awakened by the noise, and at
first supposed it was liisown fugiueer shifting the
car to the Richmond an ! Danville track, prepar¬
atory to leaving. As it continued to move ahead
at an increasing ru’e of speed, his suspicions were
aroused that something was wrong, and he
sprang up to investigat Upon looking out of
the window he soon discovered that the car was
passing through the country, and was being
drawn along at a very high rate of sjieeJ. He
was then fully satisfied that something was
wrong. He quickly calleJ up his servant and di¬
rected him to make a light, while he hastily dress¬
ed himself. Another glance out of the window
showed him that the car was running through a
strange country. He then applie 1 the brakes,
which he turned on with ail his strength, and the
car immediately commenced slacking its speed.
In a little while it stopped still on the track —
The supply car was between the pay car and the
engine. The paymaster climbed on top of
the supply car and walked to the front end, next
to the engine. He then saw the robbers jump
out of the cab. He demanded of them to know
what all this meant, lie was answered by a shot
from a pistol in the hands of one of the robbers.
Five shots were fired at him, but none of them
struck him. He then hurriedly descended into
the pay car and locked the door. The situition
was now at its most critical moment, and he fully
expected to be attacked in the car by the furious
gang of outlaws. He awaited the onslaught with
truly heroic patience, but it did not come. The
moments passed like hours, and yet the robbers
hesitated. They were evidently holding a coun¬
cil of war, and did not fully know how to proceed.
At last they approached the car, called the pay¬
master by name, and asked to see him. He gave
them no answer, and they fell back for another
council. The paymaster held the fort, and was
still master of the situation. He awaited the
attack with patience, and still the car was not
assaulted The robbers evidently lacked the
courage to face the cold lead in the hands of the
brave occupant of the car. Time rolled on
and still the storming of the treasure castle was
not made. The robbers were evidently at a loss
to know what to do. At last they blew several
loud blasts of the whistle, as if to signal to their
confederates to come on to their assistance, as
well as to strike terror into the hearts of the
paymaster and his servant. The situation was
new desperate on both sides. The robbers knew
they must act promptly, and the paymaster knew
he must thwart them, or all was lost. He !>eg
eed his servant to leave the car, and seek assis
tance in the country. The servant was too weak,
and refused to go for succor. The paymaster
then proposed to the servant if he woutdrenr. in
in the car and guard the brake, he [the paymas.
terl would leave the car by the rear door, and en
deavor to procure assistance. The negro agreed,
as there , was , but , one , pistol . m the car, he . was
given that and ordered to guard the brake at all
harzards. The paymaster then slipped from the
car, by- the back door. He looked about him
cautiously and listened. He could see nor hear
no one. Without .... , , a weapon , . d U " 1SC ’ hc
brave paymaster started offthrough the darkness,
in a strange land, not knowing whither he went,
in search of friends and help. He soon-found
some negro cabins, but the inmates refused to
assist him. Hurrying on, he soon reached an
other house. It was the residence of a Mr.
Swann. Here he found friends, and the neces
sary help. , , Mr. ^ Swann and . hie his * two _ 0 sons o volun- .
teered to go with him to the rescue of his car
and treasure. One of the young men went for
other neighbors and soon a brave little volun
teer company was —»“ ,he " d “
ger.
But the robbers were busy. They attempted
to enter the pay car, after the paymaster left,
but the negro was now master of the situation,
and was more brave than ever. When one of
the robbers mounted the platform, and approach¬
ed the brake, the negro leveled his pistol, and
ordered him to halt. The robber hesitated.—
The old man’s courage was now fully aroused,
and he ordered the man back, or he would send
a leaden messenger to meet him at the brake.
The cowed roblier backed, and the victory of Lee
at CVancellorsville anil Kre.lericksbi.rgover the
haughty Hooker, did not till the breast of the
victor with more manly pride than that which
swelled the palpitating bosom of the feeble old
darkey.
The robbers then resorted to strategy. They
first attempted to move the train away, but the
brakes held their grip too firmly for the engine
to move it. They then cut the engine loose and
run it down the road towards Decatur, which was
only one mile away. The engine was reversed
and ran track against the pay car w ith force enough
to damage it considerably, but did not break it
open. The robbers e: t red til' pay car,
and found that the paymaster was gone. They
knew he had gone for assistance, and that they
would not have time to break the safe open be¬
fore he would return. They then threw off the
brake, and started the train back towards Atlan¬
ta. Alter running back about one mile, they
abandoned the elTort at robbery and fled.
In the meantime the paymaster, with his arm¬
ed assistants, was returning to the rescue, and,
hearing the train moving back towards Atlanta,
hurried after it, with all their might. They ov
ertook it just as the robbers fled into the
woods and ma le their escape. The money w as
all safe.
The car was now near the chemical works
where there was a telephone to Atlanta, and
the party were soon in communication with the
chief of police. Chief Connolly hurried to the
scene of the outrage, and -.as put in possession
of ail the facts of the case, and in less than an
hour was in pursuit of the robbers. One man
was arrested on the down Georgia train soon af¬
ter it passe 1 Decatur. Another, a negro, was
arrested in Atlanta during the day, and the po.
lice are still on the track of others.
The robbery was -me of the most daring ere
attempted in Georgia, and would have uido.bj
eily been successful, had the bold, bad men,
have hud the bravery and courage to have at
tacked the pay car when it was stopped on the
track, five miles from Atlanta. Had they been
successful, they would have got $ 3 :) 000 for their
reckless during. Wanting in leadership and
courage, caused their failure, The Richmond
and Danville company will spare no expense to
get all who were engaged in me affair, and bring
them to justice.
