Stereetyping Not Fast Enough.


Hoe, the printing press builder, is
making a strong effort to induce
newspapers to go back to the old style
of printing direct from the type, In
place of sterectyping newspaper
forms, as is now the custom. Hoe is
now building press for a New York
evening paper which, he says, will
run off 80, 900 copies an hour from the
type direct He does not, however.
want to make a contract TO furnish a
press to do this amount of work. IF
ne could make a machine capable of
that speed under the old type system
he would unGuestionably do a good
thing for himself and for the papers.
1t is necessary that some improvement
should be made on the stereoty ping
plan.
It eats up lot OF time that is very
valuable, for the reason that it comes
between tie moment when the news
is ready and the instant when the
press work begins, at a period in fact
when every moment of delay costs
lot of money. Any scheme to get over
the half hour or so, that is spent in
stereotyping, Will be of immense ad-
vantage, particularly to afternoon
papers, where there is rivalry as to
which shall get the news out a few
minutes ahead of the other.
1t is all nonsense to say that stereo-
tipping makes any practical saving in
type. Where there are three or four
editions packed off in a great rush, a
dress of type will not last more than
a year with any stereotype apparatus
[ ever saw, and it would be pretty
heavy press work which wore out
type faster than that.

A Woman'S Scar.

A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier ournal, writing from Nor
gantown, Ga, tells the following sad
story.
Sitting on the veranda of a little
White house on the northeast corner
OF the town square, May be seen al
most any day wrinkled old white
lady. This lady has an evcntful his
tory. Across her forehead there is a
scar which she vainly tries to hide b y
letting her white hair fall carelessly
over 1t. This scar she received in one
OF the bloodIest faction fights of this
section during the days Immediately
following the surrender. She was
Ihe mother of three sons and one
daughter. OF the soDs, one Joined
Inc Confederate bushwhackers; an
other, being Union man, Joined
what was known as the hogbacks
and the third remained at home and
devoted himself to the care of his
mother and his crippled father, with
varying fortune.
This town was first in the hands of
one party and then the other. being
alternately plundered with equal
fidelity by each. The lady to whom
thus narrative relates, having a son in
each party, became herself uniustly
an object Of suspicion to all the neigh
bors, and for her there was no peace.
When the war ended these bandits
were not prepared to lay down their
arms. The son who had served with
the hogbacks endGavored to pay his
mother stealthy visit by might, but
was shot dead as he placed his foot
upon the threshold, and when his
mother opened the door it was onlv
to see his dead body drop in the room.
a few weeks later the cries of a wom-
an III d house near by called for help.
This call was answered by the son
who had stayed at home. As he en-
tered the house the woman's assailant
turned upon him and stabbed him to
the heart. For this the murderer was
put IN Jail, but by the aid of some of
his faction friends, was rescued and
went to Kentucky, where he is now
one OF the best known stock men cf
that state. The old lady now had
but her invalid husband, her Confed-
crate son and her daughter left. A
party of hogbacks, hearing of the
sons arrival at home, attacked the
house one night, and, entering it
made a prisoner of the young man
His father and mother chung to him
and pleaded to keep aim, when a
murderous blow from a keen knife
swept across the mothers head, send
ing her to the floor senseless. When
She 0oYon tn or hO,,1. l.
was gone, and her husbands dead
bod y was by Der side. Next day the
body of her son was found outside of
town, n1utilated beyond recognition.
1t required the presence of a company
of Federal troops to quell the dis
orders OF the day. The O d lady re-
covered, but with a scar on her fore
head, to the history of which she al
ways recurs when forming a new &C
GUaintance.

When Young's name, the last on
the list was called, Speaker Carlisle
said to the clerk, Cali my name.
The name was called and the speaker
voted nay. The vote was received
with cheers by the friends of the

waving their handkerchiefs.
Mr. Morrison moved to vacate thee or
der for night session. Agreed to.
Mr.. Randall moved that the mem

marks in the Record Agreed to.
Mr.. Converse moved to reconsider
the vote by which the house decided
to strike out the enactlng clause, and
then moved to lay that motion on the
table. The motions were carried by
viva vOce, and the announcement of
this result was received with cheers
and applause, though not with so
much enthusiasm as the previous an
nounceRent
MIR. Willis suggested that Mr.. Con-
verse, whose seat is on the democratic
side. have a seat hereafter with the
republicans.
When the last vote was announced
members began leaving.
The crowd in the galleries lessened
within ten minutes, scarcely 100 per-
sons remained and the house adjourn
ed until tomorrow. AS the members
were leaving many of them expressed
the opinion that final adjournment
would be taken in June. Some
thought in the latter part others dur

ST. CLAIR McCAULLEY, lawyer Of
Philadelphia and a member of one Of our
well known Delaware families, made an at
tack on James Heverin, Esq, of the Phila-
delphia bar, recently on Chestnut street,
using blackjack and but for the fact that
Mr.. II. had on stiff hat, the blow which
fell first on the rim of his hat might have
proved fatal but as it was, he escaped with
very severe cut over the eye. At the
trial McCaulley was found guilty and was
sentenced by Judge Elcock to five years
Imprisonment. In imposing this severe
sentence the court expressed the hope that
it might serve as general warning.
McCaulley's counsel asked for few DAYS
to prepare defense, but the Judge did
not think this proper under the circum-
stances, saying that insanity as defense
had run wild. ' If mad people were to run
the streets uncontrolled endangering the
lives of citizens, they should be considered
no more than mad dogs" The promptness
of the Court in dealing with this case i.

We clipped the following from the Boston Daily
Adrertiscr Of May 18th. As it is the accomplish
ment of an object for which so many of our fruit
growers have so untiringly labored we feel like
congratulating them and all others who have in

some time ago the receivers of fruit particu-
larry of strawberries commenced to make earn
est endeavOrs to secure quicker service for the
transportation Of strawberries from the great
raising sections Of Maryland and Delaware
Heretofore the time has been two nights and one
day. The object of the receivers has been to Sc
cure train that would occupy one night and
one day, and 10 deliver them here at six o'clock
in the morning. To this end a committee Of the
receivers have visited Philadelphia and had
special conferences with the railroad officials
there. They have also been the means of for
warding requests from 900 growers in those
states for this train telegram has been receiv-
ed from Mr. &. L. Pugh, the general manager of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, stating that they
would put on such train and give il a trial.
These arrangements being completed, Boston will
have better service than ever before and be on
par with New York. The way the receivers
worked to secure this advantage is very credtable
showing great energy and determination
/ There would seem to be 10 doubt of the entire
! success of such trial and the prompt and salts
