The Mellow AcQuittHl.

The acquittal of DR.. Mellow for
the murder Of Capt. +. w. Dawson
has called forth universal expires
sion of surprise, not only in South
Carolina, but throughout the entire
Union. On his own confession he
stood convicted, at least of man
slaughter, and in the discharge Of
their sworn duty, the. jury should
have so found. The testimony adj
duccd, together with McDow's own
admissions in making his plea OF
Sclf-dcfcncc, leaves no doubt in our
mind that he is guilty of williul and
malicious murder. 1t seems that
the testimony was sufficient to con
vince everybody but the jury Of the
guilt Of this scduccr and murderer.
The protractcd trial was Il travcSty
Of Justice and resulted in much ado
about nothing.

Palmer calculates that million horse

Electric Notes.

As result of mining by electricity, it
has been proved that ten men can accom-
plish with the electrical drill what it re-
quired one hundred men to do with the
older methods.
1t will cost $4,000 to purchase the
horses necessary 70 run sixteen-foot car
120 miles day, where the cost of stor-
age battery for similar amount of work
is 81 500, and the latter can be maintained
for about one-half the cost of keeping the
horses.
An English invention of recent date,
which is said to have proved successful, is
an electric omnibus. This vehicle is now
in operation in London, and runs well on
all classes of pavement, being capable OF
guidance anywhere among vehicles drawn
by horses. 1t runs readily on all kinds Of
grades, no matter how Steep and is said to
have answered successfully every test made.
This is the first attempt at the electric
propulsion of vehicles without the aid OF
rails
