another gentleman, whose name could

bridge at Bots in a two-horse wagon,
drawn by two mules. When about

demolished and while strange to say,
none of the men were seriously hurt
they were all pretty badly bruised

such force as to throw the wagon and

RAILROAD GUIDE.

On yesterday the reporter was shown
a model for a railroad guide that fol
convenience eXcels anything we've
seen. 1t consists of revolving disk
upon which are printed the schedules
of the various railroads. SO that
with slight motion of the hand the
enquirer can turn to the schedule OF
any railroad desired. In the center OF
this revolving disk is a stationary disk,
designed for the benefit of advertisers.
At the lower end of the column that
supports these disk is fixed a com
plete calendar. The whole arrange
ment IS most complete and can easily
be made an ornament, not only for
the most complete and well equipped
offices, but for the parlor as wen.
This design was gotten up by Mr..
ID. W. Whitaker. La the line of inven-
ton Mr.. Whitaker has long since estab-
lished reputation as a genius. The
country has had the benefit of many
wonderful inventions as the result Of
his labors. \ patent has been applied
for on the railroad guide"
