A party of iivo or six wero fishing in tho pond, nmong thom hoing John and Leo Medlin, Alonzo Fuller ?nd his father, Othello Fullor, and a negro. According to tho story, John Medlin was sitting on tho bank next to Alonzo Fuller, who "?rot a bi to." Medlin moved ovor closer and -put his hook at tho saino place Fullor had his. Fuller cursed Modlin, us ing tho vilest kind of epithets and Medlin picked up a clod or tuft of grass to strike. lloro is where tho stories disagree. Medlin says ho raised his hand as if to hit Fuller, when tho latter, not hoing over courageous, jumped into the pond to avoid getting into ft fight. Ile waded out beyond bis depth, and oithor couldn't swim or hoing frightened, lost his senses. At any rate, ho began to sink, and Med lin says ho rushed in to savo him, if possible Fullor. however, went down before Medlin could get to him and novor appeared again. Othello Fullor. the father of the drowned boy, anya that Medlin de liberately struck his son on the hoad, pushed bim into tho water, and that ho nover oamo up again.

Tho death of Mitohell Daniol scorns to have been tho result of a ilagrant outrago in which he was supposed to havo participated.

Ol Courso it Pays. There is no need of asking tho question, "Will it pay to oxpond money for tho Construction of good roads ?" While wo havo given nu merous illustrations of tho advant age? of good roads, whorovor thoy havo boon adopted by tho people of this country, to tho question, "Will it pay ?" wc will refer you to othor countries. If it will not pay, why do wo find ICngland, Franco, Gor many, Switzerland, Norway, Swoo don and many othor of the oivilizod countries building tho best roads thoy can in the taco of difficulties which to vi would bo appalling ? Tn Switzerland-poor, as comparod with tho United. States-thoy have built roads through gorgoa and around precipices which would seem impos sible, and which artist havo cost from $500,00 . to *1,000,000 por mile, and yot thoy do not question whether it will pay or not. There is no ques tion but it pays or it would not bo constructed. In tho State of Illinois it is esti mated that tho coBt of hauling farm produce is at least $15,000,000 moro than it would bc if tho roads woro improved, and that such tin improve ment would add $100,000,000 to tho valuo of tho farms. It is a well known fact that proportlos on mud roads cannot bo roadily sold, while thoso on macadamized roads in that State, havo increased in valuo in a groat many sections, from $50 to ?500 por noro. Tho oxperienco of othors has demonstrated that it will pay and wo should not hesitate. Saginaw (Mioh.) Nows.

Tho sooial lifo of tho oountry is quiokonod or suppressed as tho roads become good or bad. Tho youth of tho oountry leave the farms mainly for the ioason that tho sooial advantages are so ofton sadly hedged about by impassable mud roads. Isolation, iguoranoo aud crime is tho universally accepted courso of things. But, alas ! senti ment is something that is difficult to doal with in a statistical way. The business side of tho road question appeals to all. Tho following from tho Bay City (Mioh.) Tribuno tolls tho story-tho old, old story : "A farmer from Saginaw county brought in a load of grain recently to be ground. Although living much nearor Saginaw^ than this city, he ofsted it was impossible for aim to draw a load of grain to Saginaw on account of tho condition of tho roads. Ho carno into tho city without any iroublo on Bay county's stone roads, and ho is positive that tho failuro of Saginaw to got a sugar factory was duo to tho poor condition of the roads in that county. While in tho city this farmer made arrangements to rout twenty acros of land West of thia pity for $0 per acre, and ho will grow ton noros of boots and ten aores of chicory. Ho will ront his farm noar Saginaw for $2 an aoro, there being a difference of $4 -per aero in tho relativo values of tho two farms on account of good roads and a markot for produots in Bay county. Tho samo conditions aro to bo found in thousands of localities, and the peoplo are beginning to ask if thero ?B never to bo any advancement along tho lines of road making and road-kooping."

According to a report of Superin tendent Fit/.gorajd of tho Baltimoro & Ohio Railroad, tho hoaviost train over hauled by ono engine on this system was recently takon from Cumberland to Brunswick, Md. Fifty stool cars, each weighing 84, 000 pounds, wore loadod with an avorngo of 08,000 pounds of coal. To thom was coupled a now 22x28 inoh consolidated locomotivo weigh ing 1(58,7 00 pounds and having 54 inch driving wheels. Tho train was pulled with comparative caso. Hith erto tho train load on that division has boon about 2,200 tons, a 40 per cont increase ovor that of iivo y oars ago. TLJ 50-car train was com puted as 8,229 tons gross.

A correspondent writing from Laurens recalls tho fact that in 1869 a Columbian mado, without fortili zors, four bales of cotton to tho aero on a lot within tho limits of Colum bia.

FROM FIFTY TO' SIXTY PERSONS KILLSD. Tho Living aro Busy Carrying Away the Doad-A Thousand injured. ST. LOUIS, MO., April 28.-A special to tho Globe-Deinoorat from Kirkpville, Mo., says :s A gathering storm th nt li ?ul boon threatened all afternoon broko upon Kirksvillo at G.20 o'olook to-night in all tho fury of a oyolono. A path a quartor of a milo wido and OB oloan as tho prairie was swept through tho castora por tion of tho oity, and four hundred buildings, homes and stores, woro lovolod to the gfOMtid in scattered ruins. In tho heavy rain that followed the people who had esoapod turnod out to rescue tho injured. For two hours not much was accomplished, as all was confusion, but by 8 o'clook twonty-iivo dead bodies had boon takon from thc ruins, It is confidently oxpeoted that tho list of doad will roach botwoon fifty and sixty, if it doos not exceed that. Almost a thousand people were moro or less injured. Daylight will be necessary boforo an adoquatc esti mate of tho I088 of life and property can bo had. Eaoh blanohod face reports a now calamity. Intense darknoss prevailed after tho cyolone, and the resouors wore at a disadvantage for a short timo, until firo broko out in a dozen placos in tho ruins and shod light ovor' tho Bcono. No attempts were mado to extinguish tho flames, partly because tho rosouors had no time and partly beoau80 of tho need of light. On both sides of tho storm's path tho dobri8 was piled high and burned fiercely. In all probability a num ber or bodies have boen incinerated. Tho storm first struok tho Eastern portion of tho oity, near that part oocupiod by tho boarding houses of tho Btudonts of tho Amorioan- School of Osteopathy, State Normal School and MoWard's Seminary. It waa supper time for tho students, and it is thought vory probablo tho list of tho dead will \f& well filled with stu dents, as a largo number of those boarding houses woro demolished, As far as known to-night these throe institutions of loaming escaped thc storm. Tho storm thon went Northwest and wiped out Patterson's nursery, pulling tho trees out of tho ground and hurling thom through tho city A second edition of tho cyclone followed tho first, twenty minutes lator.

The bioy oles hos hv? u a great faotor hi pro ducing inls publio sentiment. The man who rides a w.hoel conies very quiokly to notice and' to approoiatoa tho difference botwoon good and bad roads. After perspiring and jolting over a bad road, and com paring tho labor expended with what would have been required to pedal tho same distance over a good road, bo bogins to realize that tho samo difference is folt by tho horse, and that good roads would gratoly facili tate travel and lighton tho burdon of hauling. A bioyole rider is in variably a ohampion of good roads. Gunton's magiziuo oalls attontion to tho fact that Columbia University has takon a stop in the right direc tion by establishing a department in prnoticol road-making in conneo- . tion with tho engineering and mo ohanicnl work of tho university. It says : "Soiontifio road-making has rcaohed a point of such importance, especially here in thc cast, that tho necessity of , adequntoly testing the road materials available in different looalitios has suggested tho ostablislunont of do partmonts devoted to this purpose in connection with educational institu tions. Harvard, howover, is tho only oth'U* university so far that does work of this sort. It is understood that students taking tho engineering course nt Columbia will horooftor have an opportunity to rocoivo in struction in praotioal road-making, which is a linc of eduoution that has not horotoforo been offered. Crodit is due, by tho way, to thoofforts that havo boon mado hy tho organized wheelmen of thc country in promo ting tho oauso of good roads. It is said that thc establishment of this dopartmont at Columbia was first suggestod and urged by tho Longue of American Wheelmen." If it bo important to hove good roads, it is plain that it is important to know how to coustruot thom, and it is practical and valuable knowl odgo that will bo imparted by this branch of instruction. Tho public is loaming that it is not only impor tant to know how to build a road, but that it is wiso to make it os for os procticoblo a permanent improve ment. Roods oro being mado with a viow to their durability, and tho economical lesson is hoing loarnod that it is bettor to go to more ox ponsc and build a good road than continually to bo working a bad ono. Build a good road and koop it good is economy in tho long run. Raco i rouble In Alabama. MONTGOMERY, ALA., April 27.
