A NEGRO LYNCHED in OHIO.
Four Hundred Pistol Balls Shot Into
His Body.

Ii. Corbin, the negro who killed
Mrs. George Harner at Oxford,
Ohio, Tuesday, was lynched there
at 10 o'clock at night. He had been
hiding ever since in shed in few
hundred feet of the place where he
had committed the murder. Grows
ing hungry he had sent a negro boy
up town to get him something, and
the boy told that he was getting 1t
for Corbin, and told where the MUIR
derer was bid. At once a crowd
formed and rushed to the spot to
which the negro boy had directed
them. Corbin heard them too late
to escape and in his cowardly fear
endeaVored to put an end to his life
with small 22-caliber revolver.
He shot out his right eye, but the
wound was not fatal.
Fearing that their victim had es-
capped the crowd rushed in and seiz-
ed him, but the marshal and mis- as
sistants took him in charge and were
leading him to the Jail followed by
an enraged crowd which numbered
several hundred.
Just at the door of the calaboose
some one threw rope around Cor
bins neck, but the marshal's knife
saved the wretch for moment
The rope was cut and Corbin was
hustled into the Jail.
Word came soon, however, that
the sheriff was on his way to take
Corbin into custody, and upon hear
ing this the mob broke into the
calaboose and dragging out the MUIR
derer hung him to a tree in the pub
lie square and riddled his body with
bullets.
Il is said 400 pistol balls were shot
into his body. The crowd then dis.
appeared, leaving the corpse hang,

CHILL HAD BITTER APOLOGIZE.

THOMAS A. Edison, the great in
ventor, says that electricity will play
a bigger part in war than dynamite
or gunpowder. With twenty-five
men he says he can make tort inn
pregnable. His idea is to place in
each fort an alternating machine of
10000 volts capacity. One wire to be
grounded. A man you'd govern
stream of water of about four hun.
dred pounds pressure to the square
inch, with which the 10000 volts
alternating current would be con-
nected. BY turning this stream of
water on the enemy as they advance
ed it would NOW them down. Every
man touched by the water would
complete the circuit, get the full
force of the current End never know
what happened to him. Men trying
to take the fort by assault, though
they numbered tens of thousands,
would be cut down without chance
to escape. They might walk around
fort but they could never take it
By modifying the current, the de-
tenders of the fort could merely
stun the enemies, and then make a
sally and pick a number of the
stupefied ard limp generals and col
onels to hold for ransom, while the
Others could be left to recover. or
be killed by another current. Mr..
Edison says this is not guess work
but fact he has experimental on.
He is also satisfied he can use cleo
tricity in an offensive war in invad-
ing foreign country. The Chilians
had better be quiet.

THE DAMAGE DONE.
THE FRESHET LAST WEEK SWEPT
DOWN SOME BRIDGES.

| Only one train reached Canton
Wednesday-the mali train from
Marietta--but it did no; go beyond
here. Between Canton and Ball
Ground there are several wash outs
and slides, and worst of all, two o.
the bents of Sharp Mountain bridge
went down and one end of the bridge
across the Etowah river washed out.
The Ellijay accommodation could
not leave on account of portion of
the bridge across the Cartecay wash
ing put, and this side of and beyond
Elliiay there are also some other
pretty bad washouts. Receiver
Glover came up Wednesday and
went over the road to Mabel, as far
as he could, to which POINT from
Marietta the road is all right. I'm
til he heard of the damage to the
Sharp Mountain bridge and the
bridge across the Etowah river he
seemed very cheerful and agreeably
surprised that the damage was not
greater than it was, but this news
broke him up" Ordinarily such
things would affect him very little,
but just now, with the road hardly
able to pay running expenses, no
credit or bank account. in the hands
of a Receiver, and numerous suits
against it, it is enough to make one
feel gloomy and respondent when
such mishaps as this come. But
Receiver Glover is man Of indomi-
table energy, pluck and persever-
ance, good judgment aad business
sagacity, and he will pull the road
through its trouble and give the
people hrst-class service if any one
can. However, just now he needs
the earnest cooperation and frie1 d.
ly aid of every man along the line
OF road, as we'll as several Thousand
dollars with which to build bridge
and MAKE repairs.-Canton Ad

UNLO0SE THE MONEY.
HARD TIMES AND ECONOMY VS.. EX-
TRAVAGANCE,

OnSO WuOu OOU 1uScISOli was
asked the best remedy for hard
times, he replied, "extravagance. "
This certainly sounds paradoxical,
but, il one thinks of it little while,
there is more of philosophy in it
than at first appears on the surface.
Nothing so emphasizes hard times
DIS rigid economy on the part of
everybody in a community. If one
hundred men in a town have each
500 in their pockets, which they
keep there tight and fast because
times are hard and they don't know
when they will get any moro, so far
as the community is concerned, they
might as well be paupers. But let
these hundred men each spend his
hundred dollars, paying such bills
as they may owe and purchasing
such things as they want, and SO, i,
900 is put into circulation which at
once eases up the cQngested feeling
and enables other people to pay
what they owe, and the hard times
are not felt.
Substitute for this one hundred
men the banking institutions and
capitalists of community and carry
out the same policy and you will
have the same results on a larger
scale. Let the banks and moneyed
men hold to every dollar they can
collect because times are nard and
they are afraid to let their money
out, and pretty soon the business OF
the community will be at the point
of stagnation, even though there
may be enough money IN the vaults
of the banks to meet every require
ment of the city. On the other
hand, let the banks ard moneyeC
men lend out their money, and lie
every man pay every dollar he owes
just as fast as the money comes int
his hands, and you will have an err
ct business activity and prosperit,
instead of hard times and stagna
ton.
Money is the axle grease Of traffic
and when the wheels on the chario
of commercial progress begin t.
creak, the remedy is to apply the
axle grease more literally, not tc
lock it up in a vault and wait until
the creaking is over and then tender
it to the smoothly running vehicle.
By this course, unless the chario-
teers should be able to find assists
ance elsewhere, you run the risk OF
wrecking the concern, when, on the
other hand, by coming forward
promptly with the necessary assist
ance you not only save the vehicle
from disaster. but put it in condition
to carry Others also. Parsimony
only increases hard times. Augusta
Chronicle.

THE PROGRESS MADE.
ORIGIN OF THE MATERIALS OF
WRITING.
For the Marietta Journal. I

OF the MARIETTA y OurQal.
Of all the pleasures noble and refined,
Which form the taste and cultivate the
mind;
In ev'ry realm where science darts it's beam,
From Zembla's ice to Afric's golden stream;
From chimes where Phoebus pours his
orient rays,
10 the fair region of declining day:
The feast of reason which from reading
springs,
To reas ming man the highest solace brings
lis books a lasting pleasure can supply,
Charm while we live and teach us how to
die
The most ancient mode of writing
was on bricks and tables of stone,
afterwards, on plates of various mas
terials, on ivory, on the bark of trees
and on their leaves. The ancients,
doubtless, wrote on any leaves they
found adapted for the purpose.
Hence the leaf of book as we'll ss
that of tree is derived. Mention
is made of writing on stone and
sheets of lead in the book of Job.
The law of Moses was written on
stone. The laws of the Greeks were
engraven ON bronze tables.
In the Shepherd state they wrote
their songs with thorns and avis
on leather. The Arabs took the
shoulder bones of sheep, on which
they carved remarkable events with
a knife and hung them up in their
cabinets. These early inventions
led to the discovery of tablets of
wood. Cedar was generally given
the preference on account of its be-
ing bitter and incorruptible. The
same reason which led them to pre-
ter the cedar to other trees, also in>
duced them to write on wax, which
from its nature is also incorruptible.
The first instrument used 10 writing
was called a stylus, an instrument
somewhat similar to an awl, sharp
at one end and tlount at the other,
SO that they could write or erase at
pleasure. But the Romans soon did
away with the stylus, because the
citizens killed one another with
them, using them for daggers. They
then substituted canes sharpened
and split at the ends, similar, | i'm
aglne, to our old-tashioned goose
quill pens, used by our ancestors,
not many years ago. So from this
time down to the present, many
changes and improvements have
been made, both in pens and writing
materials. About this time they
also adopted dressed skins, Called
parchment,) for paper. Hence the
term, "sheep-skin," as applied to
certificates of graduation at our col
leges and other literary institutions.
Soon after this the inner bark OF
the Papyrus plant, Ca species of
rush), came into use, as substitute
for paper. 1t was this plant which
gave name to our paper, although it
is made oflinen rags after they have
been put through wonderful pro-
cess of rubbing, scrubbing, pressing
and moulding, ETC., before they be-
come paper fit for use.
1t is certainly wonderful how
many changes have taken place
since the first discoveries were made,
to what an extent paper and ink are
now applied in various ways and the
great increase of knowledge derived
from the use of them. We still live
in an progressive age and there is
no telling to what extent the arts
and sciences may yet be carried.

ON TRIAL FOR THEFT.

Two Interesting Cases in the Court OF
Sessions-Property Recovered.
In the Sessions Court this morning.
Henry Lembar, George Klein and Mich
olas Clote were placed on trial on an in
dictment charging them with grand lar
ceny. The Assistant Prosecutor stated
that the three defendants boarded with
Lewis Holman at No 6S Essex street, and
on September they disappeared. One go i'd
watch. two silver watches and two gold
scarf pins also disappeared on the same
day. On that night Lembar showed up
intoxicated and one of the watches was
found IN his possession. The other two
defendants were traced to New York and
on one of them was found pawnticket.
The Court assigned Lawyer FuSey to de-
fend the prise ners.
Holman testified substantially as above

against the three men and they were ar
rested. At the police station when
searched, a DawnticSet was found on
Klein and on the pawnticket some of the
Mcbride and McNally told of the re-
covery of the stolen property.
Nicholas Ciote testified that he was not
concerned in the robbery at ALL He went
to New York with Klein aud they visited
a saloon where Klein met u Hyoung wom-
an and went out with her, while Clote
remained and drank beer with the pro-
prletor. Counsellor Furey asked for
the acquittal of Clote on the ground that
it had not been proven that he WAS con-
nected with the robbery In any way
Judge Lippincott charged that if Clote
had participated in the proceeds of the
robbery, knowing that it had been COM
mitted, he was as guilty as the other. The
jury broughtin verdict finuing Klein
and Lembar guilty as charged, and ac-
quilted Ciote.
Otto Kellar of the Town of Union was
placed on trial on an Indictment charging
MIN with grand larceny. Philip Hauger

money. a certified check for $780, bank
book showing a DEPOSIT of $500. a
promissory note for $500 and the
deed for house and lot in room up
stairs. The defendant was frequenter
of the saloon aud knew where the articles
were kept. On August 8 the defendant
was in the saloon, as usual. and the wit
ness went out to butchers. leaving his
wife in charge. During his absence the
m oney was taken and he believed that the
defendant mad taken it. Policeman Ahles
testified that he visited the Lee Avenue
Station House in Brooklyn, and had a
conversation with the prisoner in which
the prisoner tacitly admitted the theft,
and that he refused to come to New Jer-
sey without a reauisitlon.
