Liberal Donations by Young and Old.
To the Union and American.
Mr.. EDITOR: Please allow me to correct
a Misrepresentation likely to be caused by
your paragraph about the Jail library enter
prise. 1t said my appeals were to the
school children of the city alone" did
appeal 70 the children mainly, but not
alone; and promptly and nobly did they re-
spond. On the afternoon appointed for
the Howard children to bring their dOna-
tiOns, imagine many an angel poised over
the place as crowd after crowd of beautiful
children, all radiant with the joy Of doing
good, came to bring their offerings for the
poor fallen ones. The Hines children, too,
deserve to be signalized for their noble gen.
erosity. But many of the citizens, also,
made valuable donations, which we will
remember most gratefully. To all who
have contributed to this good cause,
whether, child or adult, and to Judge Fer
ris, for his kind cooperation in the matter
of the bookcase, please offer my heartfelt
thanks. 5. A. ROBERTSON.

A CONVICT RECAPTURED.
He Comes TO Nashville with an Exeur.
sion Party-RecOgnized by an Old
Acquaintance, He Finds HIS Way
Back TO the Penitentiary.

Back to the Penitentiary.
Yesterday an excursion party of colored
people came in from ShelbyVille, principal
iy for the purpose of allowing the Banner
reporters an opportunity to interview them
on the civil rights business. Among the
party was Wash Taylor, who was sentenced
to the Penitentiary two years ago on term
of ten years Imprisonment, being charged
with Ku-Kluxing in Lincoln county. After
serving six months, Taylor became disSat-
isfied with the arrangement, scaled the Pen
itentiary wall one night, and took his de
parture in quiet, transformations manner.
Since his escape, Taylor has been living
in retirement, carefully avoiding Nashville
when he had occasion to change his habita-
ton, but ventured to the city yesterday,
with the party from Shelbyville, as above
stated. After reaching the city, he re-
Trained from prOmenading the streets, re-
marking to a colored friend that he twas a
gwine to keep clear o. dem police fellers. .
The friend FASTENED TO the police station,
gave information of TaylOr's presence in
Nashville, piloted Officer Bob Mckinney
to the place where he had left him, and
TAYLOR was arrested at once.
The officer Immediately took the prlsonerto
the penitentiary, and informed Warden
Matt Brown that he had brought Wasl
TAYLOR back to his old quarters, but the
Warden, after critical examination, de
clared that it was a case of mistaken iden-
tity, and the prisoner was released. He
was afterwards re-mrested, again taken tC
the penitentiaTy, was recognized by 1
dozen of the conyicts, and the Warden wa:
convinced that he had been mistaken in hi:
first decision, and therefore furnished hi:
late bOarder with an apartment.
Taylor was generously dressed in ;
fiashy suit of clothes, sported a plug ha
and gracefully twirled a hobby cane. i
was with great reluctance that he laiC
aside these fancy trappings, and slid into ;
suit Of clothes, equally gorgeous, which wa
furnished by the State.

Collision and a Row.

Near the corner of Summer and South
Union there was a collision yesterday of
two carriages which were under the pilot
ace of cOlored hackmen. Immediately one
of the hackmen jumped down from his
vehicle and whizzcd a rock at the other
driver, who leaped fIom his seat and re-
turned the assault, inf]icting painful blow
upon the person of the assailant. Several
stones were hurled before a policeman,
who was in the vicinity, could. interfere.
The belligerents registered at the Station
house and will be ''of' this morning after
settling with the Recorder.

THE orrSN FREEDMEN's SAVINGS
RANK

One of the wort features OF the IN
solvent Freedmen's Savings banI 8;
which has its branches scattered al
over the South, Is that it ba> naole'lai
" been represented TO the L. H s az
freedmen that this is national D. nm
and that the Government is respOnA. t
bic for deposits. In fact, nobody IL
responsible for the funds intrnsted to
the institution, unless the depOsitors
can find some way to collect them from
the freshly whitewashed Gen. Howard
or the bankrupt Cookies. By the re-
ports of its own officers the Wash
ington institution alone has loaned
over 100000 upon questionable
securities. In direct violation OF
its charter, Of which amount the
Young Mems Christian Association
got $50, 900 and Boss Shepherds Wash
ington Club SIS, 500, while it is impos-
sible to say what sort of security the
officials of the Southern branches hold
for the loans they have made. The
Beaufort rs. c. Standard says that de-
positors in the Augusta branch are
| selling their claims at sixty cents on
the dollar, and that IN Beaufort de-
positor, having given sixty days no
tice that he wished to draw his money,
on going for it a month after the exPi-
ration of the time, was told that he
would have to give another sixty days
notice. The action of Congress in try
ing to conceal the rotten condition OF
this institution is extremely unjust to
the freedmen, who are thereby led to
continue their deposits with banking
company which cannot pay its debts.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the PhiIadel-
phid Ledger claims for Oliver Evans,
an American, the honor generally given
to Robert Stevenson, the English engi-
neer, of having invented the tubular
system Of steam boilers. He claims
that Oliver Evans engine is the only
one adapted to steam travelling, and
that the railway system of the present
day is merely the execution of Oliver
Evans plan. In 1880 the Mechanics
Magazine, published in London, &C
knowledged the claim of Evans. In
1899, says the american Historical Re
cord, Evans constructed a steam car
rage, and it was the first steam engine
constructed on the high-pressure prin-
eiple. He proposed to run his steam
carriage on level railways, but not lind
ing sufficient encouragement among his
countrymen, he abandoned the idea OF
railway travelling by steam. patented
his engine, and applied it to mills.
