Macon Telegraph and MESSENGER: There
acas oee9 going the rounds of the press an ac-
count OF a new invention which it is claimed
Will supersede the use of steam as a motive
power. Its action is based on the proDertjes Of
alntn 1 gas, ami it is claimed to be one
Ero,,, VII, mIonout the use Of fuel of any kind.
rom what We are aole to learn, there is a har-
vest ripenIng for the Patent office LAWYERS in
connection with it, as indications point toward
anSt I.sse aoT the cam OF prior invention by
"a vi
merry a Phlladelphian, and now in the
employ OF the Schofield Iron Works Mr.
Kinney Is serving in the capacity of
0raugntsman and pattern-maker and has the
reputation of being a skilled and an intelligent
mechanic. When approached he is very Teti-
cert on the subj ct, and nothing beyond the
statement that he has read an account of the
discovery reported in the newspapers can be
Drawn from him. However, from the few he
mas admitted into his confidence (who it is
nOtaoIe are men OF means and enterprise)
raru nf no IL
may De expected. While we have but little
Ie .I OF steam ever being superseded, yet we
viii oe glad TO announce the success Of such q
uisCoFery, a0d especially as Mr. Kinney is now
citizen of Macon. Something of the kind is
needed, as our coal and wood supply is limited
andrapidly decreasing"
The Dooly county department of the Ameri-
ems Recorder is draped in mourning because
OF the killing of jeff Stovall by his brother.
joe Stovall in Vienna, on Sunday last. Allud-
ing 70 the tragedy, the Recorder says: fIntelli-
gence reached the city yesterday that a most
unfortunate homicide had occurred in Vienna
on Sunday, the 8th inst. The report stated
that Mr.. Joe Stoyall shot and almost instantly
Killed his youngest brother, JEFF. Stovall. We
know but little of the circumstances connected
with this sad affair, except that the sct has
been committed, and that in wild deirium with
reason dethronet by the ale holic demon, in
the moment of frenzy a brother Loving
and tender as a child in his sober hours has
shot through the heart a nobe boy bone of
his bone, blood of his blood, the pride Of a
uOtAHB ldlHcT duQ mOLnerS darling AS vet.
we only stand appalled, at the deed, and in
silence mourn with the slayer with his wife
and little children, with the stricken father
and oh. with that mother whose heart is
pierced and bleeding, and whose mind, as we
write, IS raving under a grief she cannot sup
port. GOD help our friends while they drink
this their deepest affection"
We have already published by telegraph a
DrleI notice OF this mysterious murder of AUS
tin Ellis, colored, of Americ s. and the finding
or his body in Fish Pond Hall, owned by an
other coIored man named Ebert Head. The
Americus Recorder gives the following det=i lis
OF the affair: Yesterday (MOnday) morning
little negro went into Fish Pond Hall to sweep
it out, when he found a cOlored man lying
dead, with the stage curtain around him, his
head resting upon his coat and his shoes under
a bench close by. Ebert Head, the owner of
the hall, and others were notified and crowd
at ones gathered. and the body was recognized
as that of Austin Ellis, aged about twenty Two
years. Inquest was had and DR.. Hardwick
made an examination of the body. There was
one severe stab near the eye, another in the
throat near the chin. either of which, in the
opinion OF the examiner, were fatal Other
minor cuts were found about the
throat. In the absence of evidence, the verdict
of The jury was that the deceased came to his
death by the use of some sharp pointed instru-
ment by some unknown hand. It was known
that Austin had few dollars in money about
his person. This was gone. and the door of
the hall was closed. From the fact that so lit
tie blood was found upon the body or floor,
reasonable suppOsition is that he was bornesto
the hall after the killing. Austin Ellis was
young man OF sObriety and good character,
whose untImely death and the attending cir
cumstances are deplorabe, and call for the ut
most vigilance on the part of the authorities of
the law"
