Robertson, nn Khenezer farmer, was in town Monday with his wagon ami team of mules. He had gotten a load of gioreries and when at the dinner hou?* he was driving over the Laurel struct crossing of tho S. C. & (i. Kx. road, the track being obscured by the Rock Hill Buggy Oa. buildings, un engine aud tender, tne lutter in fronv, suddenly appeared, running at great speed, and struck the wagon midway of the body, just after the uuiles had gotten across and only u moment after Mr. Robertson had jumped to t?are himself. The cowcatcher caught j the wagon under tho he urn and shored it otf tho tvaofa, crushing ' ouefore and oae bind wheel com-, plettfiy, overturning the bod1; and scattering sugar and tearing f\<>ur sacks, but not damaging the latter specially.

I important Invention Mode by a < Canadiun. > Washington, July 10. ? com- ' mcrcial Agent Johnson of Stan- < bridge, Quebec, reports to the State Department a recent rnven lion, which consist of brick laying by machinery instead of by hand. He says: 4'The machine, worked by two men and a lad, will lay 400 to 600 bricks per hour. Door and i window spaces cause only a slight 1 delay. The machino is suited for all plain work, such as walls, J i sheds, mills, facttories, cottages, j piers of bridges, etc. Consider- < able pressure is put on the bricks!! and it is claimed that the work is | inure tirrrly done than by hand. I The invention will do the work ofh six or seven bricklayers and it is j believed that a machine adapted to < build a factory covering about 40 1 by 60 feet could ho put on tho market for $500. The apparatus I can tie readily worked after a ' fortnight's instruction." ] The Jennings Oil Fire * . \ $10,000 Offered to Any One Who 1 Will Extinguish the Flames. } Jennings, La., July 17.?The ( file situation in the oil fields re- C i c main* practically unchanged.
