said. Among these was editor ID. A. Dagan
of the Orange Herald, no Gains the
honor OF being the first to publish speech
reported by the phonograph Mr.. Dugan
says that he could hear not only every word
distinctly, as reported by the machine after
it had been carried into his office, but he
could distinguish the infection and hear
the applause and cheers and music OF the
band as plainly as tn ugh they had actually
been repeated The advantage of the
phonograph over stenography, he says, is
that one can get faithful reproduction OF
the whole scene Itsaccuracy can be aoso-
lutely relied upon.
At the Edison laboratory the phono-
graph was put in operation, and the re-
heard the peroration Of ex-senator Win
fields speech.
"Protection Protection! Protection
for monopolies and trusts p said the phono-
graph. 1t sounded as though we were sit
ting in large hall close by the platform
and listening to a speaker of deep, sonor-
Gus voice Of extraordinary power SO real
did it seem that one was surprised not to
see the orator whose vehement questions he
could picture At the conclusion of his
remarks, there ar &c perfect storm OF
cheers, mingled with the clapping of hands
and the stamping Of feet. There could be
heard a confused mass of sounds as of an
audience rising 90 their feet and dispers-
ing amid conversation, laughter and the
playing of a band.
I phonograph does not confine itself to
utterances made for the benefit Of the
public. During one of the speeches the
chairman of the meeting addressed
remark to a brother politician, over which
they both laughed Both the remark and
the laughter were recorded by the trans
mitter.
Experiments are constantly being made
upon the machine, and new and better
form of cylinders is in process Of cons.rUc-
ton. Within two weeks another attempt
will be made, probably at Orange, to take
"A public speech by the Use of the phono-
graph. For this purpose a funnel has been
constructed smaller than the one used before
and of different shape With this it is ex-
pected to attain even better results than on
last Thursday evening.

The Eddleman trial brings to mind a
good story that Judge Peoples used to tell
as having occurred in the court of Judge
Kennon.
There was great murder case before the
judge and the whole county had beUn ra l.
sacked for jurors. An enterprisng ballif
raided a dark corner and brought in a
rugged, blunt hammered fellow who was put
up md the usual questions propounded.
Have you,n asked the solicitor general,
from having seen the crime committed, or
from having heard the evidence delivered
on oath, formed and expressed any opinion
as to the guilt or innocence of the prisoner
at the barF'
The fellow turned to the judge, looked at
him very hard for moment, and then said
slowly and with great G III hasis:

Friday night the down passenger train,
passing Americus at sos O'Clock, collided
with an extra engine just below the Amer
icus, Preston and Lumpkin trestle. The
front trucks of the passenger engine were
derailed and both engines disabled. Fort
McAfee, engineer on the passenger train,
Jumped before the engines came together
and received several painful bruises. w.
H. Kemp, conductor, was shaken up con-
siderably. None If the passengers were
hurt. w. d. Martin, supervisor of the
Southwestern division of the Central, was
on the train. The accident was caused by
Engineer Vining of the extra engine, who
was mistaken in the time the passenger
train reached Americus. Arriving at
Smithvile with the engine he had been
sent out for, he thought he could make
Americus before the passenger train ar
rived, but ran into it, with the above re-
suit.
Valdosta Times: About four years ago
Messrs. Bill Davis and Jim Day went from
Lowndes county out to Texas, and settled
l EAR each other. They had been long
friends and acquaintances in this county.
Several days ago it was reported on our
streets that these two men had fallen out,
and had fight in Texas. and that both had
died from kuife wounds received in the
fi2ht. This information, it is said, came in
u letter to q gentleman living near Clyatt-
Vile We asked friend at ClyattviIe
to ascertain the facts for us. and
on yesterday we received the following note
from him: "Be t information l can get
about the Davis and Day affair is that
Davis and DAVIS BOYS got into fight, and
that Davis boy got the best of it, and
then Davis and Day took tie childrens
part, and cut each other to death" Bill
Davis has several snail children left in
his wife having died before he
went to Texas. They are with their grand
'ather, NJ. NJ Caswell, at Clyattville.

REPORTED BY PHoNoGRAPH.
Gov. CIR een's Address Reeled off a
ldetal Cylinder.
From fhe Neto York sun.

From the Neto York sun.
The first attempt to record public speech
by means Of phonograph was made last
Thursday evening at democratic rally in
the Park Rink in Orange. Very few Of tho
5000 people present knew that the curious
funnel-shaped arrangement just in front of
the platform was there for that purpose
1t in fact reported the greater portion Of
Gov. Green's speech and that Of ex-senator
Winfiel d.
The funnel, seven feet long, looking like
hugo cornucopia, was placed in front Of
the platform, with the large end pointing
toward it. The small end was connected
with the transmitter of the phonograph,
which stood upon table about 10 feet
distant from tho mouth Of tho speaker
Owing TO lack of accommodations, tho lal ge
end of the funnel was not 50 placed as to
secure the best results. II was about & feet
lower than it was designed to be, and was
not directly in front of the speaker. Never
theless, the experiment appears to have
been very successful
The phonograph was operated by Theo-
dore Wnngemann and an assistant, who are
connected with the Edison laboratory.
Eighteen cylinders we're used, aud the por.
tions OF speeches which were taken occupied
nearly two hours. Each cylinder would
last about seven minutes, and then it had
TO be replaced with new one. There was
a slight break caused by the changing OF
the cylinders, but this difficulty can easily
be obviated by using two machines. Tho
breaks, however, are not serious. At
the Edison laboratory yesterday afternoon
the change was accomplished in eight sec
onds
After the meeting an exhibition was given
of the powers Of the instrument. Several
persons put the tubes 10 their ears, and the
pleased and wopderstruck expressions OF
their countsnances testified that they
heard aud understood what tho Inachiue

iOFFICIAL RETURNS.
Eleven Million Votes and How
They We're Cast.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.--In tie following
table offic al returns of the vote for
presidential electors are given for most
of the states. 1t shows that since 1884
the republican vote has increas d by
1884, ,5S5 in the thirty-seven states, the
democratic by 457, ,259, and the prohibi-
ton vote By 93,3SS. while the union la
Dor party gave SO,444 less for Streeter
than the greenback party did for Butler
in 1884. The loss ON the combined labor
vote will be somewhat lower than 30, 444
when all the returns of the united labor
party for Cowdrey are made. The total
vote of the four leading parties was TO-
956, 742, against $685., 1857 in 1884, an in
crease of 970,775.

NATIONAL BANK NOTES.
ODce Redeemed and Cancelled Turn Up
Again AT the Treasury.

WASHINGTON, December 81 : One or
more NationalBank notes, ,once redeemed
cancelled. and as supposed destroyed by
maceratioD, have appeared a second
time at the treasury department for re-
demption. And it has been found that
the THEFT must have been committed by
some person having the handling of
such notes after their redemption by the
department. The lower corners of the
notes containing the names of the bank
officers are cut df after counting in the
redemption agency; the notes are then
sent to the Office Of the comptroller Of the
currency where they are connted and
again cancelled by punching and then
taken under lock to the macerator for
destruc ion. With the many checks on
this money from the time it is redeemed
it is very difficult to determine how the
theft was accomplished. AS these notes,
when finally counted, lack the large
corners, which, as stated, are cnt off in
the redemption agency before the notes
are sent up to the comptroller. and these
items it is necessary to obtain to com
plete the note.

WASHIN CTON.
Extra Session Talk. Great Schemes
OF the Republicans.

Special to the MERCURY.
WASHINGTON, December 2l.-Talk of
an extra session of the Fifty first con-
gress is again becoming rife in Washing
ton. There seems to be very general
belief, now that it is determined beyond
doubt that the republicans will contro
the next house, that Gen. Harrison will
call an extra session Of congress soon
after his Inauguration. The same condi-
ton will confront Mr.. Harrison with
regard to the finances of the country that
confronted Mr.. Cleveland year ago, and
Harrison and his party will be called to
provide for it.
1t is generally believed that provision
for the taking of the eleventh census
cannot be pos 'poned until the regular
meeting of the Fifty first congress. 1t
will take fully a year for the superinten
dent of the ceusuS to drill his subordi-
mates to the work, and people interested
in statistics think that the census alone
provides sufficient justification for Gen.
Harrison in calling an extra session Of
congress. Then the republican leaders
are anxious to organize the house imme
diately and get rid of the worry Of the
speakership canvass and the dickering
and bargaining for committee places
The republicans are full of grand
schemes to electrify the country under
the Harrison administration. There is
talk of annexing Canada, annexing Cuba;
getting control of the isthmus; building a
big navy; building Notifications in nearly
all of the coast cities, and hundred
other schemes for squandeiing revenue
and keeping up taxation. The republi~
cans are in hurry to begin the work
and if current reports are true the con-
gressional leaders have intimated to
Gen. Harrison their desire that an extra
session Of congress should be convened
soon after his Inauguration.
