Another Coupler.

Thomas Greer, III" well known UNI
hr"lla maker and scissor grinder. No. 4
West Fifth street, has invented a patent
ear coupler that, from its appearance
and simplicity promises to he u success
ful rival of all the other couplings for
which 80 much merit has been claimed.
The coupling is extremely simple, and,
so far ~ We can see, there Is 10 reason
why Tommy's" invention should not
b. adopted on all railroads, II is not
complicated, cannot fail 10 couple itself.
and there is no need for q brakeman or
ANYBODY elise standing auyw here near
it after tn" link has been pat II position
for coupling. Tommy" brought his
invention to the REPrBLICAN "tlir" the
other day and exhibited il, and from
this office hr went down to the l.. W. X
Is. depot aud exhibited il To several rail
road officials and employees, who at first
sight were convinced that 'it IL just
what We have been wanting" Another
said, "Why, all you have TO do is 10
stand aside on dark night and swing
your lantern, and ii goes together y
crippled brakeman standing 10y said, as
hr looked N his wounded limb, "lt that
coupler had been in Use wouldn't have
been a cripple" Mr. Greer says he has
been - years thinking over this matter
having been induced tu undertake III"
invention by the thought ot :" many
poor hrakcInrn being killed. II" says he
has another mnirI Of ii coupler, upon
which he intends to take out patent rs
soon as he can get money enough IL pay
the expenses. The coupler which he
exhibited, however, he does not intend
To have patented, but will give il free
gratis to any and every railroad in III"
United States that Will accept it, He
invites all railroad men to call at his
oihcc, No. d West Fifth street, and ex-
anime his models II can be- substituted
for the coupler now in use without any
change in the construction Of thu ear,
making the cost very little, 50 there can
I've no excuse nn uhiS score for failure
ON the part Of any company to apply or
adopt it.
