PAPAL .GUILOTINE FOUND
IN RUINS OF PRISON
GrewsOme Relic of Temporal 'POw"r
Unearthed in Rome.

Rome, March Spending the com
pletion of the new Patriotic Museum
now being erected at the base of the
King Victor Emmanuel III monument.
an interesting, if grewsome, relic of
the temporal power has been trans
ferred from the Regina Coeli prison to
the Vittorio Emmanuel Library, the
temporary habitation of objects of
the period of the "Risorgimento."
The relic is the guillotine which, in
THE latter days of the Papal govern
ment, served to carry out the capital
sentence. The presence of this death
instrument in the library arouses
many memories, for the guillotine
served not only for punishment of the
worst criminals and assasins, but cut
short also the careers of such patriots
as Cesare Locatelli, Monti and To-
quetti.
The instrument will be exhibited
complete. There are the platform, the
ladder, and the triangular knife with
which the celebrated executioner Bug
atti worked" He was succeeded by
BaIducci, who beheaded Toquetti and
Monti. and exercised his dreadful func-
tions until the liberation of Rome.

LARCENY Is ADDED TO
THE LIST OF CHARGES
TO Which Two Suspects
Will Answer.

The charge of stealing a sample
trunk at the Central depot, the prop
erty of travelling man, and dispos-
ing of it's contents of fine goods
through a female assistant Is another
charge booked yesterday against the
two white men now in jail here.
The detained pair, j. L. Brett and
Martin IIightower, we're captured on
Saturday by the police here upon
another charge.
The first booking was vagrancy and
to that the charge of simple larceny is
now added.
This pair were arrested for an al
legged attempted assault upon young
white girl near Americus on Saturday
last ,one of the pair, it is alleged,
seizing the girl while the other held
a pistol.
Several nights ago a trunk was
stolen from the Central depot, and the
police now connect the two men, Brett
and Hightower, together with a wofan
said to be sister of the latter, with
the affair A warrant for the woman
has been issued.
The warrant charges the woman
with having received the goods taken
from the trunk
Sheriff Feagin thinks the two men
are wanted for other offenses recently
committed hereabout, and will hold
them accordingly The attack upon
the young orphan girl here Saturday
seems sufficient to convict one, if
not both, of the fellows.
Oher developments in the case are
expected, as the police propose 60
ing to the bottom of the affair.

TWENTY DOLLARS PER MONTH
IS VOTED AID SOCIETY
County Boards Lends Ladies a Helping
Hand.

At the meeting of the county com
on Monday a contribution
of $40 per month was voted the La
dies Benevolent Aid Society, the same
being effective from January 1st and
lasting during the current year. This
society, as all we'll know, is one of
the greatest charities in the city and
county, and for years has done no
Bile work in looking after the needy
poor, the sick and afflicted. The la
dies have no means for furthering this
work except that arising from volun-
tary contributions, and the gener-
osity of the commissioners will assist
them very materially in the allevia-
tion Of human suffering.

Postal Registry by Slot Machine.

From the Literary Digest
A mechanical device used in one of the
city post Offices in Paris for automatic
registration of letters and the issuance
OF a receipt to the sender Is described in
the Scientific American. Says this paper:
THE apparatus is arranged to receive
the French nickel. or 25-centime piece
Advantage is taken OF the fact that 1t Is
slightly magnetic. for in passing down the
coin chute Ii Is obliged to leap a gap and
Is prevented from dropping through by
means of magnet A counterfeit OF
iron cannot pass tho gap because It would
be lifted up by the magnet. while nom
magnetic coins would fall through. The
letter-slot does not open until after the
coin Is placed in the machine, and the re-
ceipt 10 not issued until after the letter
Is placed In the machine. The receipt
in the form of ticket, Is dated and
stamped by turning the crank at the side
OF the apparatus. The whole operation is
performed in less than FIVE seconds, and
is calculated to do away with the long
line Of waiting applicants at the usual
registering windows. The apparatus can
also be placed in banks or stores where
there Is no danger Of its being stolen,
thus relieving the pressure at the reg
ular post ONCE"
