TwENTY-FOUR HOUR CLOCKS
A New Time-PIeee that Does
Away With the Old-FRsh-
iOned A. N. and II. NJ.


"There is something new" said a down
town clock manufacturer yesterday, as h,
pointed to a queer looking clock hanging
near the door. "That is a twenty-foul
hour clock, and think the finest one ia
the city. 1t marks the hours from one W
10 twenty-four. II has just been finished
and is one Of the kind which is soon TO bC
adopted by several railroads.
1.-THE most conspicuous innovations are
in the marking of the dial and the move,
ments of the wheels which drive the
hands. The minute hand, instead Of
making twelve revolutions 10 every revo.
luton Of the hour hand, makes twenty.
four revolutions while the hour hand
passes around once.
"The lettering on the dial is Arabic in.
stead Of Roman numerals, and the spaces
between the figures are only half as great
as on the dial Of the ordinary twelve hour
clock. The minute hand marks hall
minutes and whole minutes.
"This clock will do away with the
am. and pm which sometimes prove
very confusing to passengers on railroad
trains.
"You would be Surprised to see how
people take to that clock. have had
any number Of offers for it, but do not
care to sell Il, as it is the only one / have,
but l will be able to supply small part
of the demand within a day or two. By
that time every manufacturer will be
turning out these clocks, They are some
thing new, and that is all that New York
people want. Without doubt these
clocks will soon take the place of the old
fashioned timepieces,"

those gentlemen Of the press, and to all
the guests of the occasion, that we have a
little newspaper Office at II Union street,
just one square south of the Peabody that
we think is equal to any establish
ment Of the kind in the

call and make themselves at home as far
as suits their convenience. All newspa>
per offices are alike in some respects, only
that ours is more so, and there is more OF
it than is usually found in a city of co.
200 inhabitants. In common with all the
public spirited citizens of Memphis, we
desire to contribute as far as possible 10
the comfort and enjoyment of our visitors,
and can at least, in behalf of all
classes, tender them hearty South
en welcome, hoping that the
new social and commercial relations es>
tablished between thetwo cities, and be-
tween them and various other points
may be as pleasant and beneficial as the
most progressive and far sighted men Of
the times have ever dreamed. Gentlemen,
take the town, it is yours. The freedom
Of the city is rendered you in its fullest
sense. The place has risen from the ashes
of desolation, and in a few short years
taken place in the list Of growing cities
in the South, animated with hope
and armed with no common energy
and now 10 have an infusion of stalwart
Western sentiment and methods and
goaheaditiveness You are welcome to
our hospitalities, not only but to all you
can make in the sharp competitions of
business, and interchange Of commodities
and products. That is what railroads
and chambers Of commerce and business
houses are for. This Is social affair alto
gether, to-day, tomorrow and next day
after that will follow still better acquaint-
ance, and with that the---.amenities and
cOmities that subsist between business
men and communities. That
this will be the greatest road for
Memphis that has ever run into the city
there can be little doubt. The visit of
this delegation celebrates an event that
will have a marked effect upon III affairs
of the South. More than we can realize

The KlIbourne.ThoIapson case

WASHINGTON, November 17.--JudgC
Cox in the Circuit Court to-day set aside
the verdict of 100000 damages awarded
by a jury last week in the Kilbourne-
Thompson case for false imprisonment.
1t will be remembered that Kilbourne
refused TO produce the books of the real
estate pool before a committee Of Con-
gress in 1874. He was therefore impris.
oned, and then entered suit against John
G. Thompson, SergeAnt-at-Ar of The
House, for damages In the first trial he
was awarded 100000, which verdict was
set aside. A second trial resulted in 9
verdict Of $4,000, which to-day was also
set aside as excessive. Mr.. kilbournC
has moved for new trial
