EDISON ECLIPSED.
THE MOST REMARKABLE INVENTION
OF MODERN TIMES.
Railroad Accidents Impossible in the
Future—Trains Controlled as if In
fused with Will Power—The Points of
the Invention Read like a Fairy Tale.
Mr. R. R. Snowden and A. C. Ives,
of this city, have invented a safety
system for railroads which Is destined
to place their names alongside the
most noted inventors of modern times.
The invention which they have been
industriously working on for months,
and have at last perfected, will effec
tually prevent railroad collisions, and,
that, too, without the Intervention of
human agency.
We merely give the main points of
this most remarkable invention:
Two trains may be meeting each
other on the same track at any rate of
speed, each being ignorant of the
approach of the other; the engineer
and fireman, or, for that matter, all on
board of either or both trains may he
dead or asleep, and yet as soon as these
trains get within a mile of each other,
they will both stop automatically stone
still. When other trains come along
In either direction, they arc also
stopped before reaching the first ones,
and so on as niuuy trains as may conic
along will stop without colliding.
If a ear, or several cars, break loose
from a train and are left behind, they
are automatically protected from
trains coming in either direction.
A train approaciiing a crossing will
run on through at full speed if no
other train is uear, but if another is in
dangerous proximity to the crossiug in
any direction, l>oth will be automati
cally stopped.
If a switch is prepared for an ap
proaching train to run in on and the
other end of the switch is also prepar
ed for the train to re-enter the main
track, it w ill run through the switch,
but If either end of the switch is open;
or, if another train stands on the
switch, the engine will automatically
stop before reaching it.
If a train is wrecked and the engine
and all the cars but one derailed, the
one remaining on the track will be
protected from approaching trains in
either direction and a collision will be
impossible.
The application for a patent has
been filed in Washington and if it is
allowed, and the patent is adopted by
railroad companies, and there is no
question but what it will be, collisions
on railways will be comparatively rare
in the future, if they occur at all.
The young inventors are enthusias
tic and believe that their invention
will do what they claim for it and what
is more it can be easily attached to
locomotives at little cost.
To say nothing of th's invention
from a money point of view, and it no
doubt will make the young inventors
enormously rich, it will immortalize
them as benefactors to the human
race
An M. D. Appreciated.
To the Editor of the Banner;
I desire through the columns of
your paper to expiess my thanks to
the good people of Boardmau for the
handsome buggy recently presented
to me. Much as I appreciate the
beautiful gift the feeling that prompt
eb its bestowal appeals with more
force to my heart, and It is gratifying
to know that, after so many years of
woik amongst them I still hold the
place in their esteem, betokened by
this instance of their noble generosity.
As I ride through the hammocks
and thrifty vegetable farms of Marion
county my miud will revert with
pleasure to these good friends whose
thougbsfuluess has made buggy-rid
ing so easy and delightful.
H. C. Walk up.
Xmas Sweet Potato-
One of Vr. D. A. Miller’s ardent ad
mirers from the Belleview district,
made him a present of a peck of the
famous Xmas sweet potato. The seed
came from Porta Rico. The potato,
when properly cooked, is the finest
thing of its kiud ever eaten by mortal
man. They sold at thirty cents a po
tato, weighing say one and a half to
two pounds a piece. Specimens of
this wonderful new variety of sweet
potato can be seen at Mr. D. A. Mil
le.’s office. Every farmer m Marion
county should have a specimen.
Not Guilty.
Last Friday night Richards a Prin
g e’s minstrels were arrested for not
paying license. Manager Sylvester
went on their bond. The case was
called this morning, and the mayor
ruled the minstrels were not liable, as
Mr. Sylvester, under the city ordi
nance, pays a yearly license, which
permits all theatrical companies act
ing under his management, to enjoy
the benefit of his license.
Tbe ease was appealed for the dis
trict court’s in erpretation of the city
ordinance.
D. M. Sinclair in Hock*
“Dan,” as his acquaintances in this
ci’y called him, went to the box head
mill once toooften,and inconsequence
was captured a few days ago at Dade
City, and is now in jail.
Orlando parties are the sufferers
from whom he purchased carloads of
orange box heads at the mills on short
credit, wonld then turn around and
sell them to fruit packers for less than
he paid, getting spot cash for them.
The best way to avoid scalp dis

THE PAPER OF THE PEOPLE.
OCALA, FLA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1894.
DANSY HUNG.
THE EXECUTION TAKES PLACE IN
THE JAIL INCLOSURE.
The Murdererer of Deputy Sheriff Geo*
fimnioker Pays the Penalty of Hie
Rash and Uncalled for Grime*
'juite a number of country people
attended the hanging, especially from
the neighborhood of Flemington, Geo.
Binnicker's old home, where he had
many staunch friends and admirers.
The crowd began gathering at 10
o’clock, and by the time Dansy was
led to the scaffold fully 600 persons,
most of them colored, had congre
gated urouud the invlosure, taking
advantage of every ooin of vantage
on which to perch themselves for a
better look.
The cupalo on Dr. R. D. Thomp
son’s house was crowded, as was the
roof of the old jail stables on the Jail
lot A number of wagon* had driven
in, while the small boy was emphati
cally on top, having climbed the oak
treefe near the enclosure and from the
top of them looked down on the scaf
fold.
The Ocala Ritles, lu charge of Lieu
tenant Davidson, were on hand, thir
teen within the iuclosure and three at
the gate leading into the lot.
The admittance was by_ticket, some
ninety being issued by the sheriff'.
The looul press was well represented.
Dansy mounted the scaffold a little
before twelve accompanied by Father
O’Riley, but by the time he had made
his statement, prayers offered and the
noose adjusted it was half past.
He confessed he did the murder,
said he was angry and wi-hed to be
revenged, cautioned all the young ne
groes to take warning at his fate and
to abstain from carrying concealed
weapons.
As to his attorney, Widemau, he
had nothing to add to what he bad
told the grand and petit jury.
He thanked all who in uny way had
anything to do with him, especially
the fairness of his trial and the kind
ness shown him by Sheriff Hodge and
jailer Charlie Smith.
Drs. Izlar and Hood were the physi
cians in attendance.
Joe McPherson put on the black
cap and deputy sheriff Nugent arran
ged the noose and sprang the trap that
sent the soul of Ed L. Dansy before
his maker.
He died by strangulation.
Gainesville State Teachers’ Meeting*
Fully four hundred teachers and
their friends held their closing meet
ing at Gainesville yesterday.
The election of officers resulted in
making Prof. C. B. Graham, of Tam
pa, president against his opponent,
Prof. Williams, of Bronson.
The convention did the handsome
thing in naming Miss Clem Hampton,
the beautiful aud accomplished sister
of W. W. Hampton, esq., of Gaines
ville, vice-preßident.
Prof. Parkinson, of Lake City, was
made secretary aud editor and educa
tor Moore, of Daytona, corresponding
secretary.
There was a very unseemly wrangle
continued over the morning session
about the new school law, demanding
yearly examinations as a prerequisite
for teaching. When the proposition
to sustain the new law nr condemn it
came up for a vote it was sustained
by a heavy majority.
The result of this uudign itted aud
ward Bpecies of politics, which the mi
nority brazened out for four long
hours, prevented the body of those
present from listening to one of Dr.
White’s meaty lectures.
NOTE*.
One of the regretable things con
nected with the meeting was a serious
accident that befell Mr. C. P. Belknap,
a teacher from Orange county, who, in
attempting to get on the morning F.
C. & P. train for home, fell under the
ears and had his feet so badly man
mangled that amputation was neces
sary. A collection was taken up for
his help when s rue one, speaking for
the F. C. A P. R. R., said he would be
properly cared for and all expenses
paid.
The state teacher's meeting was
composed of a splendid looking body
of educators, who would compare fa
vorably with any similar body in the
union in personal appearance, style of
dress, etc.
The leading educators of the state
were In attenddtee; among them,
State Superintendent Wheats, Presi
dent Clute ami Profs. Yocum and
Waugh, of the State Agricultural Col
lege, Profs. Graham and Buehholz, o
Tampa, Mrs. Ingraham, of Jackson
ville, also Mrs. Weston, of same city,
who is introducing and teaching the
kindergarten system in that city. She
is from Chicago and a professor In the
Kindergarten College of the windy
city
The ladies, largely prevailed and
whatever they wanted they got.
Many of the male educators insist
ed that the ladies had combined
against the tryant man and doomed
him in every contest.
The vice-president, Mrs.Veenfleit, of
DeLand, In the absence of Prof.
Glenn, who had moved out of the
state, presided, and did so with dig
nity and ability. The “boys” tried to
rattle her but she stood her ground
bravely and brought down her gravel
with such a ringing positivencss aud
force of character, which marked her
classic features, that she always came
out ahead.
The meeting, in every particular,
was a great success and accomplished
much good for the cause of education.

A New Edition of "My Florida Home.*'
The Florida Central *Sr Peninsular

handsomely gotten up in regular

any bound collection of music. Those
who desire their friends to have some
pretty introduction to Florida, or a
souvenir of the state, w uld do well to
have Captain MacDonell wend copies
away for them. He will send a copy
to any address, with the well-known
index map of Florida published by
his road, and some very interesting
reading matter relating to the
state, ou receipt of ten cents, which
may be remitted in stamps, <to defray
the expense, of circulation.) Address,

Copies of the former edition, with the

obtained.
Inquiries*
The Banner is in receipt daily of
quite a nuuier of letters asking about
Ocala and Marion county. What are
the renting and buyiug
lands, etc., and making a home here.
To all of which we make reply, yet
cannot go into details. It would be a
good idea for the county commis
sioners to get up a neat circular or
small pamphlet, giving a full outline
of this county, the nature, condition
and price of lands, etc., etc., so that
those seeking information could lie
made familliar with the resources and
Opportunities presented to home seek
ers in Marion county.
The matter would not be expensive,
and we believe it would prove a good
investment and bring to the county
in a year or two more money than
the pamphlet would cost by receiving
new tax payers.
