A Novel Clock.

A novel clock is described in the news
papers of Liverpool, where it has recently
been set up. The clock is made on the
simple principle Of a counting or register
ing apparatus, and indicating in large
leg'ble figures the exact hour and minute
throughout the whole day and night. The
dial consists of a series of equal-sized
plates, ON which the figures are marked.
These figures are arranged side by
side, and exposed to view through an
aperture, a division being made III the
center of the opening to distinguish be-
tween the hours and minutes. The figures
on the left indicate the hours, those on
the right the minutes past the hour, in
the same manne as the time is shown in
railway guides, The figures remain sta
tionary for a minute at a time, and pre-
cisely at every siXtieth second the last
figure on the right is i~nstantaneously ex-
changed for the next in succession. Every
ten minutes two figures are thus replaced,
and at every hour they all suddenly dis.
appear, and the exact time is stimuli
taneously shown. The figures, beinl
formed by openings in the plates glazed
with opal glass, always show bright anC
clear, and at night are illuminated by tn,
electric light.

Room,

COLUMBUS, Ga, December 26-This
city, which is notorious for its Christmas
tragedies, has been made the scene OF
another fatal duel. Yesterday Harry
Holland and Capt. Tiff Moore, a former
marshal of this city, had been drinking
in Middlebrook's bar room when a dis
pute arose. Policeman Cox entered and
took Holland outside. Capt. Moore fol-
lowed and asked: "Who is that2'
"You know who it is, without asking
the question:" replied Holland, land you
have been told often enough not to speak
to me-"
Capt. Moore replied with an epithet
and struck him with his fist. Holland
drew a pistol but policeman Cox stepped
in front of him and took him away.
Three-quarters af an hoer late, Capt.
Moore returned with a pistol In Highland.
He leaned against the counter1 en-

who struck me-" and raised his pistdf.
Holland raised his Immediately and they
both fired, almost simultaneously. Capt
Moore fred once only, Holland three OF
four times, and Bishop once. Holland
and Bishop left the house.
Capt. Moore staggered into the back
room and was placed on a lounge. DR..
Grimes was at his side a few minutes
afterward. He found that three shots
had taken effect. Two entered the right
side about six inches below the nipple,
and one struck in the stomach. The
balls were all extracted from the left side,
two of them the same distance apart as
when they entered. Capt. Moore col

died soon afterward. Holland crossed to
the other side of the river Immediately
after the shooting and has not been AZ,
