mate might prove beneficial. On reaching
Granville, a station about forty miles out

COMPRESSION OF COTTON.
Something More About Gregory md
BOWen's Nashville Invention.

BOWen's Nashville Invention.
Brief mention was made in Thursdays
issue of a new Tennessee invention in the
shape Of a cotton compress, the patentees
being G. f. Gregory and Henry Bowen.
II is a joint invention but the original con
ception belongs to Mr.. Gregory, some me-
chanical Improvements having been sug-
geSted by Mr.. Bowen, who is a well known
patteTn-maker and who is the constructor
of the model now on exhibition in the ma
chine shop at the corner Of Broad and
Front streets.
The most notable difference between the
new compress and all former inventions
for the same purpose was metioned Thurs
day, viz: that the power of steam is APP
piled, directly, with only the Intervention
of piston rod, to the elbow levers COM
mon in other congresses. Neither a by
draulic press nor any other complicated APP
paTatuS is employed between the point of
generation Of power and the pOinJ Of ap-
plication.
There are two steam cylinders, one on
either side of the elbow levers, by which
the work of COMPRISING is done, with pis-
tons communicating Immediately with
those levers at the joints. The cylinders
can, of course, be made Of any size to the
general limit of praCticabIlity. The other
advantages claimed are an immense saving
Of cost in construction and greatly in
creased rapidity of work when in opera
ton, the latter being the most relied upon
for the practical success Of the experiment.
Cline is the problem in the invention Of
compTeSses,' said the inventor TO a report
er Of this paper. "Aly machine viii
squeeze up three bales to one, as compared
with the machines i'm ordinary use" The |
cost Of construction, too, is an important
item. The price Of other congresses range
from $4,000 to $4,000. Mine, | think,
can be put up and sold for $4,000.
The cotton compress is a machine with |
which the mass CT producers and laborers
are not very familiar. II is a powerful en-
CINE used at the principal shipping centres |
for reducing the size of bales, thus enhanc- !
ing the facility of handling and enabling |
the transportation Of the same weight in a /
much smaller space. There is a compress |
in Nashville by which all or nearly all the |
cotton shipped from this point goes through |
this process. It is a very important con-
venience in the commerce of the country. |
Some farmers would be surprised to see
what small bundles it makes Of his huge
humping bales Of cotton.

WEATHER WISDOM.

The Nashville meteorological Report
fer June - Interesting Facts and
ComparisOns-FavO Indications
for July.
We take pleasure in stating, upon infOr-
nation Of the signal Office at this place,
that the indications are favorable for the
continuation Of timely showers during the
next thirty DAYS. The rainfall at Nashville
is greater than the average for the month
throughout the State, as most Of the heavy
showers were local and confined 10 a small
area. Those storms which are extensive,
and are accompanied by what is known as
a general rain, are followed by marked de-
crease in temperature, as were those of the
9th and 18th, when the fall of temperature
was 30 deg. in fOrty-eight hours, while Of
the heavy local storms Of the 14th, 10Th and
18th the Thermometer marked a rise in
temperature of - deg. during their con-
tinudnce, and which remained permanent
", or only gave way TO colder air when the
storm had passed.
Sergeant Ford, the efficient Observer,
furnished us with an interesting weather
report for June. The highest barOmetric
pressure was 3O1gO, occurring at Z A. NJ.
on the 30lh; lowest, 29.S2l, at $3.50 P. NJ
on the 1st. Highest temperature 92 de-
grees, occurring ON the 9th and 18th;
lowest, s., on the Sth. The prevailing d.
rectiOn of wind was south; greatest velOci-
ty, y miles per hour at ESQ p. N. on the
18th, and total number Of miles during
month, 3, 40. Number Of clear days, 6;
cloudy, 3; DAYS on which rain fell, Is.
The following comparison for the past
four years, as to mean temperature and
precipitation of rain, duEing the month of
June, is significant:

Another Educational EdIGce,

We noticed yesterday on exhibition in
the Office Of architect John L. Smith a
drawing for the Nashville Normal and
Theological Institute, cOlored, to be located
at the old Gordon place, in the neighbor-
hood of the Vanderbilt University, on the
Broad street pike. The Institute has been
in existence here for years under Rev. DR..
Phillips, but has never had good buildings.
According to the plans, the ediice will De
one Of the most attractive to be seen about
Nashville. The estimated cost of its cou-
structiOn is SOS, 0O0t $4,000. The money
IS being raised by private subscription in
the North.
The work begins this week or next, by
the addition Of a mansard roof to the large
dwelling already on the premises. Two
other structures Of magnificent proportions
are designed 10 be put up connecting with
this, so that the whole will form b1ildino
somewhat In the shape Of a letter n. me
front toward the city being 100 feet and
the extent back % feet. When com
pleted, it will be one of the largest and
most attractive edificeS we have at tbe
capital,

Theft and recovery Of a Guitar.

Last Sunday night fine guitar, valued
at SO, belonging to the Sisters Of st. Ber-
nard's Convent, was s-Olen from the Vine

ed Woodson McRobert5 and Hugh Handy,

The Y.m.C.A. and the City Library.

Last evening tWenty-seven subscribers
to the City Library met to discuss and de-
termine the future Ofthat institution. The
Young Mems Christian Association. recent
" organized, proposed to take aid 'trun'' it
for three years without expense to the pres
ent Association. The proposition had some
very warm advocates On the other hand,
there was very bitter opposition TO a sur
render Of the rights, privileges and ino-
munities Of the Association. Of the
twenty-seveh subscribers present, sixteen
voted for the surrender and eleven against.
We hope the result will prove the wisdom
Of the majority, but fear that it Will not.
We candidly confess our sympathies TO be
in favor Of pronounced city library, un-
prejudiced by sectarian or UNCONVENTIONAL
views of any shade, or Of any shape, man
ner or form.

NO NEW TRIAL.
Judge Trigg OVerruIes the Motion OF
Sugg Forts COunseI-The Case 20 20
90 the United states Supreme COurt

Judge Trigg OverruIes the Motion OF
Sugg Forts COunseI-The Case 20 20
10 the United States Supreme COurt
Judge Trigg yesterday announced his de-
cisiOn, Overruling the motion for a new
trial in the Sugg Fort case. He delivered
an oral opinion, in which he said he had
carefully considered all the evidence. and
reached the conclusion that the verdict Of
the jury ought 10 stand. In reviewing the
case, he alluded TO the facts that the de-
PENDANT failed to take a voucher for the -four
alleged to have passed into the
hands Of the government, TO
state the officer by whom the
flour was taken, and had neglected to file
his claim until eight years subsequent to
the war, and other facts, making out, said
his honor, the strongest case Of negative
proof which had ever come under his OBJ
seTvatiOn-sUfiiCient he thought, to ont
weigh all the positive testimony for the de-
PENDANT. The afidavits introduced in SUD
port Of the motion, rather showed newly
discovered witnesses to facts formerly
brought out, than facts which had not
been elected on the trial.
After the decision on this motion, cOun-
sci for defendant moved for an arrest Of
Judgment, upon the ground that tine court
had not jurisdiction of the case. This, too.
was OVerruled, the Judge remarking, how
ever, that he would like 10 see this ques-
ton settled by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
The case will be appealed this morning.
