Strange Story of n Murder.

SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. ga remarkable
scene occurred in court here during the trial
of the Italian. Antonio GuarglIa, on the
charge Of numbering countryman named
Giacomino. Prior to the arrest OF Guarglia
a dissolute woman named Waters gave in
formation leading to the arrest of Brian Col
Inns and Henry Koch. She swore that she
saw them commit the murder, but the Grand
Jury discredited her story, and the men
were liberated.
Meanwhile Guorglia was arrested and in
dicted, and while his trial was in progress,
the woman Waters was called forithe defence.
She at first refused to be sworn, saying she
testified before and was not believed. The
Judge ordered her to be committed for con-
tempt and Deputy Sheriff took her into
custody, but she soon returned and was
sworn.
She told her story in a straightforward
manner She said that she was discharged
from Jail on August n. Next day she was
going to the tunnel and crossed path near
the scene of the murder. Brian Collins and
Henry Koch were sitting in the bush.

AN ADDING MACHINE.
Continuance of a BooklSeeper After Twelve
Years Work.

c. G. Spalding, who keeps books for Day
Il johnson, says the Springfield Mass Re
publican, has perfected a machine that is
designed TO aid brother boOkkeeperS or ac-
countants in running up long lines Of
figures. He has been ut work on the inven-
ton since 1873, and had the thing patented
something like a year ago. The machine is
encssed in a wooden box about eight inches
square and three inches deep, and, lifting
the cover, the interior Is seen to hold an
enameled white surface, on which are two
dials, and which shows the brass keyboard
in the lower left hand corner. The larger
dial of the two is on the left of the machine,
and is divided into 100 sections. The rim of
the smaller dial is likewise cut into twenty
sections The hand which moves about
the first dial is called the unit pointer.
That which moves about the smaller one is
called the hundreds pointer. A little finger
play on the brass keyboard makes the object
of the dials and the reasons of the pointers
names quickly understood.
The nine keys on the board are numbered
from one to nine, and are placed in regular
order, but also in two rows, 9, I, 8 and be-
ing above and the odd numbers below. The
key is a brass upright, and as the finger
draws on 1t spring allows it TO slip back
toward the lower end of the box. The
pulling of each key on the board sends the
unit pointer along on its Journey around the
dial as many points as there are units in the
number of the key. Pull the - key and the
dial set at 0 goes to .. Pull the same key
again and the unit pointer moves to Is. Pull
the 1, ? and keys now, and the pointer goes
conSecutively with hop, skip and jump 70
a. When the unit pointer, keeping up It's
agile athletics, has reached its starting point
again, there is a quick little motion on the
right hand dial. The pointer then has
dotted and gone one" The machines in
ternal elockwork is more accurate than
human head can hope to be. 1t isn't troubled
with malaria, nor is ii ever larger in the
morning than it was the night before.
All the accountant has TO do is to run his
eve up and down the columns pulling each
respective key as he reaches the correspond
ing figure. A day is sufficient in which to
learn the keyboard, and the motion CT the
hand quickly becomes almost involuntary.
The expert can run the figures in his head
and on the keyboard simultaneously, thus
proving" his,York by one trip up or down
the column. Carrying is performed by set
ting the pointer at the number to be carried.
10 set the unit pointer all that is necessary Is
to hold down key and turn the pointer for
ward to a number one less than the one car
ried. On releasing key l the pointer is on
the desired number. The hundred pointer
can be moved IN either direction. The hand
easily operates the nine keys thus: Nos. 1,
and with the first ringer, 4 and with the
second, and with the third, and with
the fourth. The inventor claims for the ma
chine unerring accuracy and surprising
rapldity. lie says an expert can add 2lO iig-
ures a minute with it.

Koch covered my mouth with his hand and
threw me to the ground. When l arose

the Italian, who was turned partly upon his
face, was bleeding. / went over to him and

story and manner on the stand have created
profound sensation. The case Is a genuine
