i UK IlKKfM.li olliee han received a
circular descriptive of the "Turner
Storage and Receptacle" a device
invented by our former townsman,
(i. W.Turner, as an attachment to
railroad cars, for the purpose of
keeping a perfectly reliable record
of the car from the time it leaves the
shop until it returns for repairs.
Owing to the inconvenience that
would be caused all concerned, the
railroads can not always use their
own cars, and upon receiving a car
from another, each road must make
out a statement, detailing the con
ditiou of the car upon its arrival.
This is necessary so that the ex
pense incurred for repairs may be
charired to the road catismar the
damage. According to the usual
method of keepingthis record, there
in great liability of losing the
record, hence great uncertainty and
often annoyance is caused all con
cerned. So this matter wan taken
up by Mr. Turner and the result is,
he has planned and constructed a
device that operates successfully.
If it be proven conclusively that it
can bi. .iijjgd wi-th advantage, the
sales will doubtless net Mr. Turner
a handsome fortune,

aned a large quantity of liipior and
proceeded to the home of the for
mer to have a general good time.
From reports we learn that after
Chandler had drunk a sufficient
quantity to render him dangerous
he proceeded to abuse and unmer
cifully whip his wife, 1h cries of
whom at once attracted the atten
tion of the neighbors.
THE IIl'IKAI.Ii never loses an op
port unity to condei in no uncer
tain terms, such manifestations of
the brute creation as this. When a
man becomes so devoid of man
hood and so utterly debased an to
wilfully curse and abuse his wife,
simply because she is weaker than
he, it is high time that the strong
arm of the law should come to her
rescue..
