The Raub locomotive Is attracting
attention in the railroad world. The
distinguishing feature is that the pis-
toms are placed vertically instead OF
horizontally. They are three in num-
her. instead Of two, and are located be-
tween two boilers which are wholly
independent Of each other. The piston
rods are attached to crank shaft,
each attachment making an angle OF
sixty degrees with the other two 50 IS
10 avoid the dead center. The driving
rods are attached to the crank shalt
and are lifted Z and pushed down in
stead Of being uriven by force exerted
horizontally as in ord mary locomotives.
The inventor claims extraordinary
mower. and the Two boilers give him
steam capacity to reach 100 miles an
bonr with good-slzed train without
anv trouble. The cab Is between the
two boilers and the ends OF the locomo-
tive are right and left duplicates OF
each other. so the locomotive looks
eoually well and works equally well
running in either direction. The pre-
Iiminary tests are said TO have resulted
very satisfactory.

A COLLISION AT CONFER.
Two Trains Crash Together on q Tres
tie With Terrific Force.

Athens, Ca, Dec l6.-This morning, at
O'Clock, the freight from Abbeville, on
the Georgia, Carolina and Northern road,
collided with an accommodation passen-
ger, going toward Atlanta. The collision
occurred on a trestle near Conner, ten
miles from Athens. Both trains were
running at good speed, when suddenly
the headlights of the engines flashed upon
each other in the darkness in close prox-
unity. Both engines were reversed, and
the engineers and fremen jumped for
their lives down an embankment of thirty
feet. The speed of the engines was but
slightly checked, and they rushed
together with tremendous force. They
were literally rammed into each other
and the shock was terrific. Scarcely an
employe or passenger ESCAPED uniniured.
Some were slightly wounded and others
severely, but as if by miracle none were
killed. Those seriously injured are:
Fireman James Mitchell, body bruised
and hurt internally.
Charles Eberhart, injured on the head
Engineer w. Owens, of the passenger
wrenched ankle.
Fireman George Bennett, injured on
the head.
Baggage Master Phillips, injured on the
thigh and head.
John Thomas, newsboy, severe concus-
sion Of the eye.
Mr.. Jones and wife, of Elberton, both
badly bruised
G. NJ Dahlgren, chin deeply cut.
Numbers of others were slightly bruised
and injured.
The engines were completely demol-
ished and two engines were required to
pull them apart.
Several box cars were torn TO pieces
and the track and trestle damaged badly
The engineer Of the freight admitted
that his mistake caused the accident
He had received orders TO meet both the
vestibule and accommodation but over
looked the latter part of the instruc-
tions.
Dr. Samuel Benedict, the roads physic-
ian, was on the scene looking after the
injured.

REDEMPTION OF OLD NOTES.
Fifteen Extra Clerks Det allied For the
Work of the Division.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Secretary Car
Isle to-day detailed 10 clerks from other
divisions to assist the so clerks in the
redemption division of the TreasUrer's S
Office to count and redeem the United
States money which is now being pre-
sented for redemption. This extra force
will commence work on Monday. This
division is now $3,000,000 behind in it's
work, although for the past six
weeks the clerks have been
working over hours and re-
deeming money at the rate of 81 ,250, 600
a day In spite of this heavy redemption,
United States money has accumulated,
and all such money in the process of re
demption is not only withdrawn for the
time from circulation, but also from the
treasury cash AS the net available cur
rency of the treasury is now only about
s., 500 600, it is desirable to facilitate re-
demptions as much as possible.
The plethora of money now held by the
banks is given as the reason why redemp-
tions at this time are so unusually heavy.
The redemptions referred to above do not
include the redemption of national bank
notes, which are also very heavy, requir-
ing over work to keep up with the pro-
cess of converting old money into new.

MEHAN ACQUITTED.
The Jury Exonerates Kim for Killing
Mcbride

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 16.-PatriclS Mehan,
who has been on trial for the murder Of
Robert Mcbride since Monday, was
found not guilty this afternoon after the
jury had been out but seven minutes
When the verdict was read there was a
scene of the widest confusion and enthu-
siasm in the court room. Men climbed
over tables and chairs, threw their hats
in the air and shouted themselves
hoarse in their excitement. Mehan was
overwhelmed with congratulations. He
took the verdict calmly, but Mrs Mehan
who has continued in the court
room every day during the tria
by her husbands side, broke down
completely. The three children, who have
also witnessed the trial, joined with the
crowd in cheering. 1t was fully ten min
utes before the uproar subsidized. Three
cheers were given for Mehan, his wife,
the Judge and the jury,
Mehan, the accused, shot and killed
Mcbride, of Newman in the union depot
IN Atlanta in August last Mehan
lived in Newman, but had been
absent in New York for some
time. Robert Mcbride and his brother
had rooms in Mehan's house. Mcbride
was prominent citizen, and had been an
intimate friend of Mehan and his family
While Mehan was absent in New York
Mcbride made insulting proposals TO Mrs
Mehan, who was the mother of four lit
tie children, and who at the time was
within two months of confinement.
Mrs. Mehan Indignantly resented tho
propositions, and promptly threatened
10 write to her husband about the whole
proceeding, calling her sister, who was
IN the house TO witness her resolution.
ACCUSED HER OF FORMER INFIDELITIEs
Mcbride became frightened and to pre-
vent her from carrying out her threat
charged her with previous inhdolities, say.
ing he had seen suspicious movements
about the house in her husbands former
absences. Mrs. Mehan persisted in her
determination and wrote her
husband full statement of the whole af-
fair. Mehan promptly telegraphed TO
Newman, asking about the affair, and re-
ceived an answer advising him to return
home Immediately. In the meantime
Mcbride, who had, up to the time Of his
unfortunate break, been an exemplary
character, did everything possible TO
atone for his fatal mistake. He consulted
his friends, and offered to do anything to
repair his error
In the meantime Mehan came home
and found his wife prostrated with OK
citement and grief He left her, and
arming himself, he came to Atlanta. In
the union depot he accidentally met
Mcbride and instantly shot him. Me
Bride fell, crying out God have mercy
and died in minute.
Mehan was arrested on the charge Of
murder.

HAWAII TO BE A REPUBLIC
Minister Thurston Abandons ALI idea
of Annexation.

Oakland Cal, Dec. 16.-The Enquirer
this evening says: "Hawaiian Minister
Thurston sailed yesterday on the steamer
Alameda for Honolulu, for more inn
portant purpose than to report mo
progress Last Thursday Minister
Thurston was visitor in Oakland,
spending the evening at the house
of gentleman who has heavy
interests in the Hawaiian islands. There
was assembled to meet him quite com
pany Of gentlemen, former residents of
Hawaii, and Minister Thurston un-
bosomed himself, speaking with perfect
frankness about his mission in going
home Perhaps he thought that the
time had come when he no longer cared
TO make secret of It, To put it
in the briefest form Minister Thurs
ton is going to Honolulu to assist in
another revolution. That is to say, he is
going to aid in substituting for the pres
ent provisional or temporary govern
ment a permanent government with a
written constitution which shall make
Hawaii a republic and a free and indie
pendent nation of the earth. All idea of
oOOhluB dnuGAdbAOh 10 W uG dDduuOu6ut ;
for the present, at least and
the republic of Hawaii is to be
established, thus ending the uncer-
tainty in the islands. The gist of the
confidential information which Minister
Thurston carries back to Honolulu. no
doubt is that nothing is to be expected
from the government at Washington and
that therefore the part of wisdom is for
the provisional government to use it's
present strength and popularity and to
establish form of government which
shall be a permanency."
NO CHANGE AT HONOLULU.
San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 16.-The
steamer Australia arrived today She
brings advices from Honolulu to Dec. o.
The excitement was at fever heat, but up
to that time there had been no change in
the situation.
Since Dec. no material change has
taken place in the military or political
attitude of the different parties
The queens adherents are being Sc
cretly armed. The marshal is satisfied
that over 200 Winchester rifles have been
worked into Honolulu in small lots from
the Island Of Maui during the past month
and distributed to royalists. Vigilant
watch is kept upon the royalists, who OK
press certainty that on the arrival of the
Alameda, on Dec. %, Minister Willis will
carry out orders to reinstate the queen.

BLoUNT ALL RIGHT.

New York, Dee. 16.--A special from

is nothing strange when you recollect
that left Honolulu in August and Minis
