called upon to defend her. not one

give it up.”
“Firm as the firmest where duty led.
He hurried without a fuller;
Bold ns the boldest, ho fought and bled.
And the (lay was won. but the field was red.
And the blood of his noble h**art was shed
On his country’s hallowed altar.”
But though the cause is lost and tie himself Is

Let us strive t • emu ate his virtues, and on the

nearly two weeks nis release was obtained
on a writ of hab as corpus. The Missouri

that he was not the prisoner who broke
jail at Mt. Vernon, although he boro a
blight resemblance to him.
Angell sued Chief Green for
<1,5 >0 damages. Who i tbo case came
up yesterday an effort was made to secure
its continua loe on account c l the absence
of Detective Kaufman. Judge Hpeer <le
c.dod however, that the evidence of the wit
mss was not material enough to warrant a
postponement. Angell wa* the principal
wit:.ess in tho trial. He descrided his arrest

A MARVELOUS MACHINE.
It May Cause a Revolution in Bank
Accounting.
From the New York Star.
H. G. O NoI from Louisville, Ky. t has
become one of the regular sojournera at the
Fifth Avenue hotel of late, a :d, although a
very active man, his abieuee from the cor
ridors of the hotel has given rise to the
rumor that he had at last completed the en
terprise which was the main object of his
visit. Being pressed last evening fora de
scription of his “autoraario accountant,”
while he was entertaining Ju ige Nelson and
Kdwin Ford with a report of the wonder
ful results that had been obtained, ho was
disinclined to say anything specifically, for
the reason that his Euglish patents had not
been filed.
He acknowledged that he had just incor
porated a compa iy in New York with a
capital of $500,001), and, as some of the
leading bank presidents were holding daily
conferences at his rooms, he volunteered to
refer to the main points of his invention,
and said:
“I have at last perfected a simple ma
chine, with nine keys, which is called the
‘Sta dard Recorder,’ that will print ail
the current transactions of a bank, no mat
ter how complicated; number checks in
regular rotation, add up the columns os
eac i entry is made, aud strike a balance of
the day’s business whenever required.
“We have taken five years to make it, as
mathematically perfect as it is, and t.iere is
only one other similar instrument in use,
and that is at the treasury department at
Washington, whore 19J keys are used, and
then only additions can be checked. The
lending New York bankers are our princi
pal incorporat *rs, an l the cashiers of the
First National bank and Bank of Com
merce have tested their c.earing house
transactions, and it has b *aten in speed and
accuracy tne m >st practical accountant.
“W. W. Sb Tina iof the flank of Com
merce, had a race with it the other evening,
be doing the figuring aud calculations of
the bank clearances tor the da .amounting
to mil.ions. Tne machine came out a;.ea 1
two minutes, and was automatically cor
rect. while Mr. Sherman made & mistake
of 100,(>K) in his addition.
“ Tne Franklin Institute of Philadelphia
has ii v -s igated the entire appliances con
nected with the instrument, and will pub
lish a full detailed art.cie, with drawings
which is now ii type, as soon as wi> receive
our letters patent from abroad. Our plan
will be to manufacture the machines
t rough Hartley & Graham and sub et
them on a royalty to a second co up iny
that will charge a rental of about $lO a
m ntli This is the plan as outlined by
the bankers, who are our principal stock
holders.”
“Arethere any other uses to which your
invention can be applied ? ’ Mr. O’Neil was
asked.
“Yes. we have an attachment in the shape
of an electric motor, which will print and
number any quantity of elevated railroad
tickets up to 5,000 within ale w minutes by
touching a sing'o key. That is to say, the
ticket seller can te supplied with the
machine filled with h blank roll of paper
capable of printing 5,000 tic ets. Ho can
regulate the quantity required by ad
justing the key*, and 100 tickets, all printed
and numbered consecutively, will be
thrown out ready for pasting through the
small aperture in the windo v as quickly as
one si i>l‘* ticket can be banded out. At "any
l ine if tbo day the machine will rec id the
number of tickets said, and will be a
check upon the ticket agent’s ertsb.
The elevate i raili ads are paying SOOO to
s4on a day lor t renting Hi se ticket* alone,
and our proposition to furtn h them with
machine* with the electric motor attacn
ment b.is been accepted and will be adopted
as soon as they can be iifhuufactured.”

JANE YOUNG.
With Pistol and Bowie Knife She Seeks
Printer’s Blood.
From the Athens (da.) Banner-Wa'chman.
Athens has never been more stirred than
on a sultry afternoon in July, 18.50, and all
by a woman. At that time the late Hoa.
Hopkins Holsey, an ex-congressman, whose
widow i.ovv lives in Atlanta, was editor of
the Southern Banner. His offico was over
tn© sto e now occupied by J. H. Huggins,
but in TJ by Dr. J. G. O. r an l Mr. A. S.
Mandovill©, the two doors having a parti
tion between them.
As the merchants sat quietly in then dull
Athens, they were attracted by a female,
dashing down the southern side of Br.ai
street, with a half ope 1 paras >1 in the posi
tion of “make ready,” in mili ary parlance.
She rushed up t'ue steps leading to the
Banner office and into the editor’s private
office, where the late Howell C. Flournoy
was reading. She screamed out:
“Are you tho proprietor of this institu
tion ?”
Alarmed by her excited manner, Mr.
Flournoy promptly replied: “No, but you
will find the foreman in the next room.”
Off she dished into the composing room,
where she found T. 8. Reynolds, the fore
man of tho office, at bis case. VValkiiig up
t > him, she repeated: “Are you the pro
prietor of this institution?”
“No,” replied he, “but I can attend to
anything you wish.”
Quick as thought she leveled her paras 1
on him, and pressing it against his right
side pulled the trigger of a T>ng horse
pistol, which was concealed therein. The
bad struck a rib aid glanced round his
body, passing on into the wull behind.
Terrified, Reynolds screamed out; “On,
Lord! I’m sho , I’m shot. A woman has
shot me.”
His cries spread consternation through
out the office and tho printers dashed for
the door. As each one passed, the frenzied
woman, who was no.ie other than Jane
Young of Tugalo, made a thrust at them
with a glittering bowie knife. The prin
ters were Jim Bird, Joe Braselton and V.
P. Sis >011, now of Atlanta. Bird rushed
down the steps and lr.to the office of Dr. J.
G. Orr, who asked him, “What iu the
world’s the matter; what are you running
Ironi ?”
“From a woman,” he excitedly replied.
“And why are you running from a
woman?”
“ you, you'ld run too, if that wild
creature up-stairs was after you.”
Reynolds . ad c lueht tire from the pistol,
and in a few moments, he too came rush
ing down the steps, crying: “I’m burning
up, I am burning up.”
After clearing the office, Jane Yoang
came down, and i 1 her thirst for printers’
blood, took the streets and address© l every
one she met with, “Are you a printer?”
The first gen Goman she came to was
Prof. T. P. Pond, now of Toccoa.
“ Are you a printer?” sue asked.
“No madam,” he politely replieJ, “I’m
only a professor i 1 the college.”
Next she met Unci© Dick Haulter, who is
a regular Cuesterfield.
“Are you a printer,” she asked.
“No, madam, I’m nothing at all but a
poor stage driver.
Tho suavity of manner those Jane en
countered was doubtless affected bv the
Bowie k fife she fiishol iu one Hand aid
the pistol she held aloft in the other.
Up and down Broad ktree Jane strided.
As she faced m one direction everybody
darting into doors and behind counters, to
peer out again aid watch the frantic
woman when she turned her bio*.
Boon tho marshal, the late YV. 11. Dor
sey, who, b ’ the way was as clever a man ns
ever guarded a village, came up to arrest
Jana. As he passed down the street, ho
beard a countryman jeering th • crowd for
not arresting a woman. Mr. Dorsey
promptly accosted hun saying: “I have
the authority to summons auyon© to assist
uie iu maki >g an arrest. I therefore call
on you.” The countryman made a break
through Dr. Orr’s store, aud never returned
to Athens for months.
At length Jane was captured, but with
arms held down she oonti ued te siiao that
terrible pistol, and Mr. often re
marked tiiat the bore looked like a cannon's
mouth.
Her person was searched and anotner
pistd found in her bout. As s.© wa< being
taken to tne guard house Mr. Moisey met
her just at Barry’s corner. “What m the
world is the matfioriF asked he.
“I would have sh iwii you —— quick if I
had found you in your office,” rep icd Jane.
“What’s the matter?” repeated Mr.
H'ley.
“You have published something about
me iu yo ir papor,” answered Jane.
Mr. Hulsey iusihie.l he cli 1 not know her,
had never -oe.i her and know nothing about
her, and to this day Ihe real causs of her
attack on the Banner office lie*, a mystery.
Jane You ,g was tried before tbo late
Judge Dougherty for this offence ami sen
tenced to three > ears iu tho penitentiary.
served < ut her term, wai released, but
her subsequent history is not recorded.
About the time of this occurrence poli
t- - wtre .‘it f< v-r ne.t. A whig
loved a 'big because he was a "big, and
hated a democrat, bec;ius 1 he was a demo
crat. Tho Southern Banner wns then mid
lias always been the btan diest democratic
paper, a:.d in subsequent editorials Mr.
Holsey accused the whig* of having insti
gated tbo attack of Jane Young, in ord ‘r to
get dim out of the wav. Tuo democrats
were for years thereafter callnl in derision,

stirring day in journalism iu Athens.
