Capt. VIM. ElmoIe. ("Archie,"I the
oldest and one of the politest and most
popular of all the accommodating aud
popular passenger conductors of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad, has been granted a fortnights
.furlOugh by the officers Of the compa-
ny, and will start on a trip to the West
ern cities and Territories about the 14tb.
This respite from his arduous duties is
well merited by Capt. Gilmore. For
nearly twenty-seVen years he has been
in the constant employ Of the company
and during all that long period this is
the second leave of absence from his
post he has ever solicited. We doubt if
he does not stand at the head of the list
of knights of the bell rope in this par
ticular, as he certainly does in his I'M
swerving integrity, through thick and
thin, 10 the interests of his company.
After spending a few days at the great
railroad exposition now open in Chica-
60, Capt. Elmore's intention is to go to
Denver where he will establish head
quarters for further western explora-
tions. Not man who knows him but
will join as in heartily wishing him q
pleasant trip and a safe return.

The Westpoint (hiss.) Progress, of last
week, mentions the presence of Major
A. H. Gregg, of Morristown, at that
place, where there was public exhib-
itisn of the capacity aud convenience
of half dozen different patents of reap
ers. The Progress says "The Meadow
King, the Buckeye, the Mccormick,
the Woods and Champion were several
ly tried. Every one present seemed
pleased with the operation of each ma
chine, though it was virtually agreed to
by all dislntered persons that the Mea-
dow King was superior in many re-
sPects chiefly among which was simplic-
ity Of construction and lightness of
draft Many sales of this valuable ma
chine were made on the grounds by
Messrs. BIllups & Banks, the agents at
Columbus, and Mr.. f. T. Moore, the
agent at Deerbrook. Mr.. A. II. Gregg,
from the firm Of Gregg & Co., manu-
facturers of the machines, who has
charge Of the Southern branch office at
Morristown, Tennessee. was present.
We had the pleasure of meeting Mr..
Gregg, aud found him to be a man of
practical views, and clever, nice gen
tIeman. He is a wide awake man IN
the machine business, and is accom-
plishing much good for the South. We
hope to see the day when every farmer
in the South is supplied with machinery
of this kind"

We desire to call the attention OF
the Farmers and Dealers to this
Shelter, which is just such an article
as every farmer should have.
It combines shelter and separator
in one, discharging cobs, husks, &C.,
from one opening, and the corn,
nice and clean from another, into
a sack, box or barrel. 1t is easily
operated by one man or boy who
can shell and sack from eight to
twelve bushels per hour. 1t will
nub the corn for bread or seed and
leaves it as nice for planting as if
shelled by hand. sz-
We offer no certificates or opinion
of others in regard to this shelter,
but put it entirely upon it's own
merits, inviting the closest examine
ton; which cannot fail to satisfy any
one of its superiority over all other
shelters. Every Shelter fully war
ranted for five years. County

o'clock, May 80. The bridge was
crowded to its utmost capacity On
the platform at the New York Tower
the jam became So great that many per-
sons tainted. The cry of distress was
raised and dreadful struggle began be-
tween the panic stricken crowds COM
ing in east and west. A number, it is
reported, were crushed to death. One
end of the crowd, coming from the
Brooklyn side, prevailed, and rushed
towards the New York anchorage,
trampling down everything in ats way,
men, women and children were trod-
den under foot, and falling dawn steps
leading to the lower platform, were
buried under mass of struggling hu-
mainly many feet high. As soon as the
news of the disaster was conveyed to
New York station by one set by the
panic stricken crowd, the police were
called, and the bridge was closed. The
work of removing The crushed and
wounded then began. A number were
taken to the City Hall, Police Station
and others to the Chambers Street
Hospital. The police report that at
least ten or fifteen were killed.

ATTEMPTED Highway Robbery.

The Eugene Guard of last week says :
On last Tuesday night near Cottage Grove
Posy Veatch, while on his. way home from
church was ordered to throw up his hands
by some unknown person coming from the
brush close by, which he refused to do, at
the same time drawing his pistol and both
commenced shooting, the first shot of the
robber cutting out the bu5ton hole of Mr..
Veatch's overcoat. Veatch thought this a
pretty close call but stood firm and fired a
shot at the robber, who responded by firing
another, but missing his aim tried it again
and his pistol snapped, when Veatch turned
loose on him with two more shots making
him hunt his way into the brush. Should
the party be found he will likely be found
looking up tree for breath.
