Mr. Morrison bas strenuously attempted
to pass abill which he and his followers con
tend la a bill to provide for a reduotion
of taxea, bat which at its first venture was
denominated “the first firm step towards
free trade.
This atop bas been vigorously and auo-
oessfulty obstructed by Ur. Randall and
the onus has been pat upon Mr. Randall
to prepare and present a bill for a redac
tion of taxation.
This baa been done and Ur. Carlisle has
doubless, honest doubts. They may have
been strong ones. Bnt it is suggested that
they had failed to strike the minds of
twelve men nnder oath.
It it unsafe to set aside the finding of a
court, upon the doubts of one man not ac
quainted with the criminal or the sur
roundings of his case, and that man one
who has a contempt for lawyers. It will
not be wise to resnrreet that branch of the
practice of law whieb flourished eo vigor
ously a few years sinoe, the emptying of the
penitentiary.

Hsbb is a remarkable statement from
the Mew York Star: “Already much of the
genial Warden Walsh's time is taken np by
handsome yonng Mew York ladies who oome
to the tombs looking for matobes. He la
obliged to bring all the jail birds out once
or tvrioe a day and introduce some yonng
lady to them. The prisoner holds np his
bail and chain in one hand and takes the
lady's hand with the other, and they walk
off to be married. Sometimes the
young lady climbs up a tall ladder
to the top row of cells in the tombs
and Borneo, in striped suit, comes out on
the baloony. Then old Montague, the turn'
key, comes around and locks np Borneo in
his sell, end old fianulet. the deDuty con'
stable, oomes around and carries Juliet out
of the jail. Sometimes the jail bird is ob
durste, and after the girl has given him a
bouquet and knelt at his feet,he repulses her
with a heart as oold as six months in a atone
quarry. Scores of pretty girls call at the
Tombs every day, and have turned it into

A WONDERFUL MACHINE.
Ono Whloh Wilt Grind Oat Quotations at lta
Owner's Will.
New York Times.
The ground floor of Mo. 60 Brood street
wears something of a palatial air. It is
paneled in light woods. The floor is hand
somely carpeted. Bows of nioely uphol
stered chairs line the rooms. The other ap
pointments of the room promise to bo of an
equally tasteful character. It is not ready
for its tenants, or for the pnblio yet, but it
soon will be. When the doors are thrown
open the most striking object in the large
and linviting looking apartment will be a
machine which has been patented. It looks
as mnch like an overgrown gas meter as
anything elae, but it is furnished with ap
plianues that no well regulated gas meter
requires.
There is a small opening in the faoe of
the machine, jnst large rnough fora bit of
eardboard. The machine, when it is loaded,
carries a large number of these bits of card
board. Above this aperture, on one side of
it, is a panel containing tbe word "Ad
vance.'' Above it, on the other side, is a
companion panel, and on this panel is the
word “Decline.” One panel is jnst ss
eheerfnl looking as tbe other, or would be
if there wsb not a siokening difference in
the definition of tbe words “advance ’ and
‘deoline.” Under tbe aperstnre is another
panel, and upon it is the name of a stock.
The name of the stock varies with tbe time
of day, for when the machine ia once
started it grinds out quotations, always in
fraotions, with great alacrity and pertinaci
ty. In close proximity to tha machine is a
large clock, bnt there is no oloeer relation
ship between the clock and the machine
than there is between the clock on tbe city
hall and the Stock Exchange.
At least so said Stepen Campbell yester
day, and Mr. Campbell ought to know, tor
he ia the manager of the ground floor of
Mo. GO Broad street, and can speak by the
card, aa it were, Mr. Campbell hails from
Chicago and ia the patentee of tbe machine.
The patent will run for seventeen years and
the machine will run from 10 nntil 3 o'clock,
six days in the week, when it is loaded. It
is intended for tho exhibition of figures
which, for purposes of “trade,” will repre-
sent the advance or deoline in stock, the
name of which wilt appear as before de
scribed. The machine is all right, Mr.
Campbell said, otherwise the government
would not have issued a patent. Besides,
it bas been in use in Chicago for about
five years and in Cincinnati for three
years and has given great satisfaction in
those cities to all who came oat ahead of
the game.
The establishment, if an aoeident does
not occur, will be conducted by a company
of twelve members, seven of whom reside
in New York and five in Washington. The
company, according to Mr. Campbell, was
organized nnder the banking law of this
State, and has been approved by somo of
Mew York's leading lawyers, wbo have said
that its object ia perfectly legal and that
the company has nothing to fear from the
polloe or other official bodies.
The machine does not depend upon tho
stock market, bnt upon Mr. Campbell for
its quotations. Tbe latter will consist en
tirely of fraotions, bnt whether a certain
stock will advance or decline will nnder no
dronmstances depend on the state of the
market. It will thru be aecn that the ma
chine offers opportunities for flnetnaticos
in the hope end despair markets, from which
the atock and other exohaugea ere complete
ly debarred.
The maneger will aot as broker for buyer
and seller and will only charge j percent.,
win or lose. He will only deal, he said yea
torday, in actnal stocks, and against one
wall is a largo blackboard containing the
names of said stocks, or so muoh of tbe
names as is contained in the initial letter.
Tbe Times's reporter did not catch on read
ily to any of these stocks. They bad a for
eign air to him, bnt they must have been
all right, for Mr, Campbell possessed quite
a stock of them, all nioely engraved in ool-
ora that shonld calm instead of exoito tho
imagination.
Tho manager makea tho prices and the
quotations. He also fills the machine. He
stands in the same relation to the ground
floor of Mo. 60 Broad street, he said yester
day, as Jay Qould does to the Stock Ex
ohange. He also said that he would either
buy or deliver stocks at tho pricss ground
out on tho machine. Ho was anxious that
his scheme abcnld be investigated before
the pnblio fonght for a whack at the ma
chine, for if tho company onoe got under
way he objected to polloe interference.
EVENTS MOVE RAPIDLY,
ODD OCCUPATIONS.
Says Mr. Pat Calhoun, Speahtng of tho
Central.
Bavaanxh Bows.
Mr. Pat Calhonn, one of the Central's
new directors, arrived in tbe city yesterday
morning from New York. He is on bis way
to his home at Atlanta, he stated. During
tbe day be had conferences with probably
all of the Savannah directors. Wbat they
talked abont no one knows exoept them
selves.
It is to be presumed that Mr. Calhonn
grve the directors a good deal of informa
tion about how things are going in New
York, and there is no donbt bnt that they
told him abont the reports in circulation
here. The lost one to get any railroad in
formation from him last night was a
Morning News reporter, who law him at
the Screven Honse.
If there is any scheme, deal or move on
foot it may be taken for granted that Mr.
Calhonn would know just a little bit more
about It than any otheo man in Savannah.

been put so many times that it is getting
ehestnntty: “Is there any combination
about to be made between the Central and
the Riolimond Terminal?'
“None at all, so far as T know,” was tho
reply. “Tbe Richmond Terminal, which
owns tho Richmond and Danville, never
did own and does not now own a single
share of Central stock. There are gentle
men interested in tbe Richmond Terminal
who are Interested in the Central, but there
is no more probability will combine with
tbs Ccntrsl than that it will combine with
the Louisville and Nash ville. Events move
rapidly, however, and there is no telling
what combinations may be made, 'nhel
seems impossible to-day may be practicable
to-morrow. Upon this though you can
rely, toe men who have control of the road
now are interested n the Central as the
Central because they think it is a good in
vestment.”

“To the pnblio’s confidence in the pres

Wilkes-Barre, January 23.—John Way-

of hia boarders for $90. Wayrich came to
thie country from Oermany twenty yean
ago. By industry and frugality aa a miner,
he managed to aooumnlate some money,
which he invested in real estate, and in the
ooune of time bis property became vain

then he got into politics and min. He

him his inorative position. He went from
bad to worse, and finally hia property wav
sold to pay bis debts. Hls family wu re
duced to poverty and hls wife, to save her
self and children from starvation, took in

Through the influence of friende Wsy-
rioh wu pennaded to relinquish hie vicious
habits, and on tho first of the year he swore

Ot the various kinda ot collisions whieh
enliven railroad travel, the side collision,
resulting from the meeting of two trains
which are tanning in very nearly the umo
direction, ia the rarest Oneof them,which
came very neatly resulting in a wholesale
destruction of life, occurred at 6 o'oclock
Monday evening, at a point on tho Eutern
division of the Erie railroad, about a quar
ter of a mile from the western
opening of the Jersey City tunnel.
Engineer J(ff Bomeyn, on a Height
engine with a cabooeo attached, wu
preparing to crou the three tracks on s
crossover switch which passes in a distance
of abont seventy-five yards from the western
to the eutern tnek. He did so in obedience
to a signal whieh assured him that the
tracks were dear, tho signal man having
.opposed that the Paterson puunger train,
which left the ferry at 6:45 p. m., had gone
on ahead and wu oat of tbe way.
Thetwoengines came together jut where
the erouover twitch met the middle track.
The crash wu terrific, the two engines
fighting ono another for the right of way
after a Titanic fuhion that tore rails from
their futenings, and left inch-deep farrows
along tbe sleepers for a distance of 100
feet The freight engine had tbe best of the
oonflict Engineer Hooper, of the puun
ger train bad put on his brakes. The re
sult of this wu that the passenger engine
wu reduced to a wreck, and tossed from
the (rack by its speedier adversary, while
the freight engine came to a stop a few feet
farther on, damaged beyond recognition,
bnt still serviceable after mnch repair.
The cabooae attached to the freight en
gine, which eontalned five employes of the
rood, wss completely destroyed. None of
the ocenpanta were badly hart. Engineers
Hopper and Bomeyn were badly shaken np
and scalded. Switchman Feeney wu
caught by the falling caboose, but not seri-
ouslyhnrt. None of the passengers wen
Injured.
A Worthless Compliment.
agreed between them that upon Miner's
payment of $90 to the husband tbe former
oonld have the wife and children. Manor
tooepted tbe bargain, paid over the money
and now tbe woman is hia
At first Wsyrioh wanted $200, $63 and
*25 eaoh for tbe six children. Manor de
clined this offer on tbe gronnd that four of
the children were unmarketable, that Is,
they were too young to work, and in oonse-
qaeaoe oonld not bring in any revtnne. A
compromise wu then agreed upon, whieh
wu to the effect that In consideration of
Mtuer baying the whole family he wu to
have them for *90; *50 for the wife and *20
apiece for two boys, aged 11 and 12 years,

Pittsburg Chronicle.
A traveling agent, representing an Alle
gheny commirsion firm, who returned this
morning from a trip through eutern Ohio,
tells of a sen rational cowhiding cue which
occurred in Columbus on Thursday night.
The parties to the affair were a young man,
a resident of the piece, end a yonng woman
living with a family in the earn* town. Be-
oently, it is claimed, the yonng man hu
been circulating reports derogatory to the
oharacter of the young woman. The Utter
determined to chuttoe him, and armed with
a cowhide and accompanied by serenl mule
friends, set oat in uereh of toe alleged of
fender. The girl’s friends arranged a trap for
the intended victim, ondinduved him to be
lieve that he needed a shave badly, and he
quickly repaired to a barber shop. While
he wu in the chair the enraged female and
her escorts come in. Without a word of
warning the yonng woman began plying
her whip vigorously. The victim did not
■it very long midst tbs but quickly
hrose, and, beating down tbo womans
guard, wrenched the whip from her hands,
held it aloft a moment as if to strike her
and then hurled it into the stove. Hire to
where his assailant's friends took a hand In
the affair. One quickly pulled the cowhide
from tho fire, handed it to the young wo
man and then grappled with the yonng
man, and with the assistance of several
friends forced him acrou the barber’s chair.
They held him for a few momenta while
the girl struck him several vigorous blows.
The affair created considerable commotion
in tha town.
