trial for their client, but it was over
ruled by Judge Coleman, and papers

the petition and record of the case and
asked his Honor to read it over in or
der that he might be fully prepared to
pass upon the same.
He said, he would comply with the
request.
JUDGE CoLEMAN's DECISION.
Ex-Judge Watkins, commonwealth S
attorney for Prince Edward arrived
Wednesday morning, but ex-Judge w.
II. Mann and Mr.. SoutLall failed to
put in appearance. When the counsel
approached Judge Samuel +. Coleman,
as he was seated in front of his office
he said, There is no need of any argu-
ment, gentlemen. / have read the

to issue the writ
His Honor received copies of the
PLANET by mail containing pictureszoi
the prisoners and jokingly said that
wise had filed the PLANET with his
exhibit"
Capt. Wise asked that the order fol
the writ be made out at once and he
proceeded with it by roadway to Farm
Vile, distance of Is miles, where he
presented it to the clerk of the court
There he met Judge Crute, who wa
very DESTROYS of knowing of the result
of the application.
Judge Crute said that when the pris
oners were removed from Farmvill,
to Lynchburg, he went part the wa!
with them TO the place where his sol
is dangerously i'll. He had talk will
Mary Alternately, who anXiously in
quired as TO the condition of his chile
and expressed sympathy.
A TALK WITH AUNT MABSC
He talked with her about the cas-
and he said that her mind had under
gone a great change with reference t
her case. He talked with Solomo
Marable and he was impressed wit
his story.
In company with the other gentle
men, he gave vent to expressions whic
showed that His Honor had becom
almost absolutely convinced of Mar
Abernathy's innocence.
Captain Wise is jubilant and is cor
fident that the release of his client is
fOregOne conclusion.

Ingenious Brushmaking Machine.

Hitherto the process in brushmaking Of
punching the bristles and drawing them
into the holes has been performed by hand.
A machine of peculiar ingenuity has just
been invented for this purpose, the bristles
being contained in a hopper, where they
rest horizontally at right angles on the top
of disk, which by means of treadle is
caused to partially rotate, first in one di-
rection and then in the other. The disk
has notch formed in its periphery, and as
the notch passes under the bristles some of
them enter into the notch; before the disk
returns, plate joined to the disk is moved
and closes the mouth of the notch, thee
then comes back and carries away the tuft
of bristle retained in the notch to a position
from which it can readily be taken by the
fingers of the operative.
The whole arrangement is that of peck
er or gripper and can be regulated accord
ing to the quantity of the material re-
quired to fill the hole, the operative passing
the wire through the hole by means of a
special needle fitted to a clamp which is
held in the right hand, the loop being au-
tomatically formed. Into this loop the OPP
orator passes the tuft of bristles, pulls the
wire and thus draws the bristles into the
hole.--New York Sun.

nature of the dissatisfaction among

ton and the Court allowed it,
Witness continued and sad the men
would say, as Capt. Good would not
shoot they would not. The men
seemed to accept the views of Capt.
Good relating to reductions and the
shoot. Witness reported the result of
his Investigations back to defendant.
Heard Capt. Good speak of riot drill.
When anything would go wrong in the
movements he would say, ITO HI
with this id sailor drill" Heard
him say this several times. He said
IA military man for the head of the
department and not a id sailor.
The remarks were made openly and
addressed to the Company. Heard
such remarks frequently. In speaking
defendant referred to the Colonel of
the regiment. In explaining, for in
stance. what was next to be done III
a movement, Capt. Good would begin
according to the latest interpreta-
tions of the sailor drill, this movement
is done so and So We understood
these remarks as jokes. He often said
there are so id many orders issued
that a person does not know which to
obey"
Nicely was then subjected to a short
cross-eXamination, and at 1880 the
session adjourned. Tonight Sergeants
Taylor and Carlyle, also of Company
f. will be the first witnesses examined
They will be followed by about fifteer
privates. Capt. Good will call about
dozen witnesses.
