THE TWO LEADERS. ~? liecturer Terrell and Governor Tillman ?j|^oke .in' Abbeville on Tuesday of last - ' week to a large crowd. There were Borne ?<4a?erestiDg features connected with the ^eeang. ; ;'?. ETerrell was there to fill a regular itment, by invitation of the County ce, we suppose; Governor Tillman ere by chance, and remained for seting, as the Press and Banner is ied, or went there of his own ac . . cord to hear Terrell and make a reply in ^opjKisition to the sub-treasury. ^^J^^Terrell spoke with, the confidence ^p(|bne.who'had frequently discussed his ^ptttrject, was familiar with his aide of the -.' .' question and was advocatiog what the ^national leaders had declared was sound r. "Alliance doctrine and bad embodied in ^tTE^tatforms; Gov. Tillman made his, r ^ firat speech on this matter, and knew that ^many. members were clamoring that he . .should step down and out of the Alliance . because of his hostility to the measure ||ft)Sen under discussion. ^^j^r7:Terrell was receiving a salary for f%^?i^; :.Qt07. Tillman talked without ^'"3ir. Terrell zealously advocated the 'sub-treasury and its speed; adoption; .: "<&ri>ISltaan ..vigorously opposed the ? sub-treasury, as violatiog the Alliance ? doctrine of "equal rights for all, special v privileges for none." - -. Mr. Terrell did not declare his position politically, bat left the impression that be j would like to lead the Alliance over to % the third party, to which President Polk has already declared allegiance; Gov. K^Tillman urged the claims of the Demo a 'pratic party, saying the safety of the peo a pie lay in that grand old party which igbad already done ao much for them. l^jMr. Tsrreil accepted a challenge to Wgi Gov. Tillman before the State Alii ! f ^and discuss the sub-treasury. Hl!73^ with interest this discussion ^i^|MJfcf "campaign of education"?and 7^ffifiS?bat the "Lone Star" will be so ? speedilyTanned out by the "Palmetto" j^tbat Oaronna Alliancemen will not look to it to gttid? them in a search for a Beth j^fehem. \ |p The meeting in Abbeville was sigoifi iiLcant and forecasts trouble for the Alliance ?grithin the Alliance. Perhaps Mr. Terrell I will yet find that the Alliance is not I. "non-political." Kp^hief Justice ot the United States fij^nller and United States District Judge wjjmohton heard the arguments in the ;. ?;mp3aw case last week, beginning Thurs ^i^gmoiping and ending Saturday morn ^ fl^Bpth'sides were ably represented, w?!w the case has been well discussed. The ^niya/&,ought by the State to forfeit the ' j&ter^of the Coosaw Company and to Sadare the territory in which it claims ^HHnsive right to mine phosphate rock Fopen to all. The arguments were lengthy raid a great deal of law was quoted fo jfijtajatftin the points made. The Judges ^jheld t hdir decision. It is thought the g^Kney8 for the State made their best S?tat this hearing. ' "Welcome the coming, speed the part? ing guest." A reliable cotton statistician says that with the eight months ending April 30th, the cotton crop in sight for 1890-1 was 8,330,000. He thinks the crop will pan out 8,610,000._ Let the Doctors be shown over our city. Let them visit our various and varied bus? iness enterprises. By so doing, they can best form an idea of our size and growth, and of the volume of business being done. On our first page will be found a spe? cial to the Columbia State from Sumter, alleging that the condition of the sixty seven convicts which lay over there recently for a few hours was "shocking," &c. This report was coroborated by the local paper. The Superintendent of the Penitentiary denies that their condition was such as to justify these articles. The State's correspondent has replied vigor? ously, and asserts that their condition was as bad as reported. He annexes certificates from a number of the Sumter people, among them the depot agent and chief of police, who sustain the article in question. The truth seems to be that these unfortunate prisoners were without shoes, were badly clothed, were in a filthy condition, and at that particular time would be without food for twenty four hours. This was an accident, we hope, and will not occur again. Still, it deserves criticism, and is sure to get it. As a matter of faet, when was Henry W. Grady. born ? Was it on the 24th of April, 1850, as Joel Chandler Harris as? serts ; or did it occur on the 17th of May, 1851, as J. Marion Verdery says; or was B. H. Samett right when he says it took place on May 24, 1850? "Twice told tales" are all right, bnt thrice born babes won't do. Yet Joel Chandler Harris, of the Constitution, who recently edited a biography of Mr. Grady, allowed his birth to be accredited in the same book to "each of the dates given above, and each writer knew whereof he spoke, presumably, and each spoke of the same "Henry Woodfin Grady." These discrep? ancies detract seriously from an other? wise pleasant book. Some of these fel? lows who can never get at facts will have to be "born again" before they shuffle off, or be compelled to stay where it is too hot for comfort; or perhaps they wonld not have been missed if they had never been born at all. Senator Gorman is not the only Dem? ocrat who believes the force bill, which the Republicans tried so hard to pass in the last Congress, will be brought op again. Senator Faulkner, of West Vir? ginia, who was Senator Gorman's most active lieutenant in the famous fight the Democrats made against the force bill in the Senate, was in the city for a short time during the week. To a reporter he said: "Some Democratic papers have shown an inclination to deprecate and make light of Senator Gorman's declara? tion that the force bill is still a living issue. But Senator Gorman knew what he was talking about. The force bill is not yet dead. It will be revived just as soon as the Republicans see ? a chance to pass it. If by any means next year the Bepublicans should again gain control of both branches of Congress and elect a President, one of the first things they will try to do will be to pass a force bill. They have not given np the idea by any means."_ A remarkable instance is given below of the dash, ingenuity and enterprise of this age. In twenty-two hours trees are taken from the forest and converted into paper, with the latest news spread upon it, ready for the reader. How astonishing such a paragraph .wonld have been to the ancient Egyptian writer who laboriously engraved his characters on the papyrus, where so much time was required to pro? duce a single copy that none but the wealthy could buy them, so great was the cost of production. He would have re? jected it as untrue ; we accept it without question or surprise. The paragraph is as follows: "Mr. Singerly has made an inter* esting experiment as to the time requir? ed to print his Philadelphia Record upon paper direct from the tree. This ia the record: Chopping one and a half cords poplar wood, stripping and loading on boat, three hours; time consumed in manufacture of wood pulp, twelve hours; manufacturing the wood pulp into paper, five hours; transporting to Record office, one hour and twenty minntes; wetting paper preparatory to printing, thirty minutes; printing 10,000 Records, ten minutes. Total time from tree to paper, twenty-two hours." Our neighbors, the Abbeville Press and Banner and the Greenwood Observer, are each recommending to the powers that be the relative advantages offered by each of their towns for securing the Cumberland Gap railroad. Both are inclined to think that whether the road touches at Abbe? ville or Greenwood it will then go to Due West and from there to Anderson. In any event Anderson should be an objective point, and will be if the company that has charge of the road will only investi? gate the inducements offered them by this route. We believe that the projectors of the road will find that the most practical route, all things considered, is the one by Abbeville, Due West and to this point. Every place along this line has signified its willingness to aid the road materially. The Press and Banner says : Over $100,000 can be had as a bonus for building the road from Edgefietd to Anderson, the distance being not over seventy miles, through the best part of the country for freight and passenger traffic. The aid which the road would get is something like this: Edgefield Township, say.$25,000 Troy. 3,000 Abbeville. 28,000 Due West.16,000 Anderson. 50,000 Total $122,000 We would be glad to have Mr. Potts or Mr. Ward, or whoever has charge of the road, to visit our city and discuss the matter with our citizens. Anderson wants the road and will give liberally to secure it._ The Scientific American says one of the moBt terse and succinct descriptions of a natural phenomenon is that recently giv? en by M. Him, in which be says that the sound which is known as thunder is due simply to the fact that the air traversed by an electric spark, that is a flash of lightning, is suddenly raised to a very high temperature, and has its volume moreover considerably increased. The column of gas thus suddenly heated and expanded is sometimes several miles long, and as the duration of the flash is not even a millionth of a second, it follows that the noise bursts forth at once from the whole column, though from an obser? ver in any one place it commences where the lightning is at the least distances. In precise terms, according to M. Hirn, the beginning of the thunder clap gives us the minimum distance of the lightning, and the length of the thunder clap gives us the length of the column. He also re marks that when a flash of lightning strikes the ground it is not necessarily from the place struck that the first noise is heard. Again, he points out that a bul? let whistles in traversing the air, so that we can, to a certain extent, follow its flight; the same thing also happening with a falling meteorite just before strik? ing the earth. The noise actually'heard has been compared to the sound produc? ed when one tears linen. It is due really to the fact that the air rapidly pushed on one Bide in front of the projectile, wheth? er bullet or meteorite, quickly rushes back to fill the gap left in the rear. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Gordon, Ga., June 3.?While riding in a buggy out near his home last Sunday afternoon, during a slight storm, Mr, Nat Whitehurst had quite a singular ex? perience. He was riding through the woods when the lightning struck a tree near him, the shock of which caused bis horse to fall. After lying upon the ground for several minutes apparently lifeless, the animal raised himself up and started off. -Mr. Whitehurst had only gone a short distance when lightning again struck the ground within a few feet of him. The horse also fell this time, and remained so a few minutes as before. The strangest part of it all is Mr. White hurst received no shock either time, and in a little while the horse was in as good condition as ever and has been so until this time. Florence, June 6.?The most disas? trous hail storm that ever visited this section passed over here last night. Re? ports from the country indicate that a strip at least twenty miles in length and averaging four miles in width was swept as clean as if a cyclone had passed over it. Roofs of housea have been broken, window shutters and panes of glass smashed to flinders. Big branches were torn from trees and growing crops were beaten into the ground. Dozens of far? mers came into the city this afternoon bringing big buckets of stones gathered from the fields after the sun had been on it all day.. Some stones this afternoon were as big as hen eggs. The strip of country thus devastated so far as heard from extends from above Palmetto in Darlington County to the Clarendon County line a few miles west of Florence. Hartford, Conn., June 3.?Yester? day Daniel F. Cronin, aged twenty-two years, sitting in the telephone office in conversation with the chief operator, Joseph Bohan, was so much amused by a joke made by his companion that he leaned back in his chair and, throwing his head back, indulged in hearty laugh? ter. As he did so a small plate with two false teeth fell from its position in the npper jaw and slipped down his throat ft He made several attempts to raise it, bu' without success. Dr. 0. C. Smith made an examination, but cculd find no trace of the missing teeth. Last night Cronin was on duty as usual. He said that he felt a lump in bis side, and that his heart palpitated more than it should. Medical men of this city are of the opin? ion that Cronin's death iB only a question of time. Fort Valley, Ga., June 5.?The negro women of Fort Valley are on the warpath. Two of them knocked their husbands in the bead last week, and it was thought for some hours they would die. They evidently intended to bring their liege lords into submission. It is rumored that they have formed a society among themselves, known as "The Color? ed Lady Regulators," the object of the society being the reformation of renegade husbands, ' Houston, Tex., June 2.?During the progress of the Sam Jones meeting at the tabernacle this morning, Bev. Dr. Stuart was preaching lo 10,000 people. He said he was going to talk plainly, regard? less of slurs thrown at him by a scurri? lous afternoon sheet edited by a man of questionable character. B. H. Bailey, brother c ^ W. H. Bailey, editor of the Herald, jumped to his feet and, in a loud voice, said: "You refer to my brother, and what yon say is a lie." A wild uproar followed this remark, and it was with difficulty that the clergyman could restrain the vast assembly. Cambria, Pa., June 3.?The unique spectacle of a swarm of bees stopping traffic on the Pennsylvania Bailroad was witnessed four miles West of here to-day. As a freight train was passing the farm of Kennedy J. My ton, a large colony of his bees suddenly left a hive and flew straight for the cab of the engine, The bees alighted on the cab roof inside and formed a bunch as large as a bushel. The engineer stopped his train and with his fireman surrendered the engine to the care of the intruders. A long line of Western freight trains was blocked a considerable time until the owner of the bees came and removed his property. Columbus, 0., June 5.?The town of Ashley, forty miles north from here, on the Big Four Boad, adopted a novel but effective means of reform last night. A fvhite family and a negro family have given offense to the good people of the town by living together in the same house, whioh was a resort for bad char? acters. The families were given to un? derstand that it would be prudent for them to leave town, but they did not take the hint. At midnight about forty masked citizens seized a fire engine and drawing up in front of the house turned on the hose, literally washing the inmates, along with their furniture, out of the place. The eather-boarding being old the house was well nigh demol? ished by the force of the stream. A Secret Political Society. Topeka, Kan., June 2.?The Grand Lodge, Knights of Reciprocity, is now in session in this city. This new organiza? tion was called into existence by the in? roads made in Bepublican ranks by the Alliance, althongh its founder had com? menced work upon its principles long be? fore. The membership has been rapidly extending in this and other State?, until now there are seven Grand lodges, In Kansas there are sixty lodges, with a membership of abont ten thousand. Mis? souri has thirty lodges, with a promise of an even hundred before the end of July. Nebraska, where the Alliance is strong, has nearly forty lodges, In other States the strength is less. The Knights of Beciprocity form a se? cret political organization, opposed to a third party of any kind. It is Bepublican throughout and, while not pretending to direct the party at present, it expects soon to have strength enough to control it, as the party workers are rapidly entering it. The Grand Judge, in his first annual address to-night, declared that the ob? jects of the Order were to briDg about changes in the administration of the Gov? ernment by and throngh the Republican party. He disputes the idea that recip-r rocity is free trade, and declares that it is fair trade only. He warns the Order agaiast all class legislation, such as ob? tains in the Alliance, which he declares is founded to benefit one class to the injury of all others. He would have this new Order cast its weight in the Government scale for the benefit of the entire people of all occupations. He especially de? clares that only in the Republican party can be found the principles of a true re? formation. This Order has its signs, grips and pass words. It admits women as well as men over 18 years of age. Negotiations are now pending to take in the Knights and Ladies of America, numbering about 4,000 members, which is a similar secret politi? cal society in this State. ? Engineer W. W. Williams, of the Carolina, Georgia & Northern, was killed at Sandy River on Wednesday. His en? gine was on the track and he had gone under a car to be in the shade. A colored fireman, not knowing where Mr. Williams was, started the engine to pull ahead a few feet and ran the wheels over the un? fortunate engineer. iIii iiiipi iiif mm miinii Cook's Items. Nice gentle showers have been passing through and around this neighborhood, greatly to the improvement and advance? ment of crops, where they have been worked out. Mr. and Mrs. Mack Sherard, of your city, are spending a few days with their parents in the Corner. The second Quarterly Conference of M. E. Church convened with the Church at this place, on Saturday before the fifth Sunday. The meeting was protracted for a week, and besides the preaching on Sat? urday and Sunday by the Presiding Elder, the pastor was further ably assisted by the Revs. Anderson, of Easley, and Beard, of Lowndesville. Good preaching, but no accessions to the Church. Pi of. McElroy will close his school at Moffattsville Academy on Friday, 10th inst. The closing exercises will embrace a public examination on Thursday, 13th, to be followed by an entertainment on Friday night, consisting of dialogues and tableaux, and those who attend will be treated to something rich, rare and racy. Miss Lena Johnson, of the Ivy Hollow school, attended Conference at this place. Mr. James Jackson has developed into quite a fisherman. The minnows have learned to lie quite low when he tramps up and down the branch bank. There is a mule in this neighborhood that has reached the ripe old age of thirty five years, and still wears a part of the bridle nsed with her dam. As to exact dates about the bridle more may be learned by consulting Lern Reid. There will be preaching at this place on next Sunday, at 11 o'clock a. m., by the Rev, Calvin Pressley. Dysentery is prevailing to a considera? ble extent in this neighborhood, among both old and young. Frequently wo hear stories told of boys getting off with their fathers, but it re? mained for a Corner boy to cap the cli? max. Not to expose the parties, we will call the father "Elias," and the boy we will nHine "Hamp." The father, it seems, had a great foudness for having some one fondle with and comb his hair, especially when he desired taking a nap. Hamp had been at work all the week up to Saturday.at noon, and was desirous of going a fishing in the afternoon. He asked bis father the privilege and bis reply was, "get tho fine com2), and comb my bead, and if you find a louse you may go," so the son went vigorously to work to cap? ture the animal, but at one time be was almost despondent, not finding one. An? other idea struck him, and, sitting at the old man's back, he deliberately removed, his own hat, and bringing the comb across his scalp, he joyfully exclaimed, "I've got it." He went fishing, and the old man never knew of the trick played on him. Rut Hamp, who is now a father, may soon fall heir to a similar joke. * Beltou Items. Dr. Chas. Manly, the highly esteemed pastor of the Belton Baptist Church, preached two very able and edifying ser? mons here last Sunday and Sunday night. Mr. Ben Geer and his brother are here on a visit to their mother and brothers. Last Saturday night lightning struck the dwelling of Mr. H. A, Griffin, of our town, and slightly Bhooked every member of the ' family at home that night. His little daughter, Annie, was consideraby stunned, and it took some time to restore her to conscionsness. But she was at Church on Sunday feeling as well as usual with the exception of a slight soreness in different {>arts of the body. The members of the amily at home that night were all Bleeping in the same room, and all on feather beds, except Annie; and besides abe was nearer the part of the house struck by the light? ning than any other member of the family. Miss Susan Moore, of Pendletoa, is keeping house for Mrs. J. T. Smith for a few weeks. The exercises of the Children's Day came off at the Baptist Church in this place last Sunday afternoon. The exercises were highly interesting, and they were witnessed byquite a large congregation. We are very sorry to chronicle the death of Mr. Lewis Green, who was buried at Barker's Creek Church last Saturday. He survived his wife only two months and four days. Several children were left orphans, who were kindly taken to the homes of their relatives. Our enterprising townsman, Mr. Wash. Taylor, hos invented a good thing in the shape of a railroad switch. He has just had it manufactured in Greenville, S. C, and within a short time he will have his switch on exhibition on the railroad in the rear of his shop. . Onr popular and enterprising County School Commissioner, Mr. 0. Wardlaw, will deliver the prizes to the successful competitors at the closing exercises of the Belton Academy on Friday night, Juno 18th. J. T. S. Fork Notes. Mr. Geo. N. Broyles, of Anderson, spent several days at Broyles last week. Dr. W. E. King, of Broyles, is doing some fine dental work for one so young in the profession. Miss Sallie Holland, of Parker's store, Georgia, is visiting ber sister, Mrs. W. L. Dobbins, of this Township. Mr. George Pettijohn, the popular young clerk of the Arlington Hotel, Au? gusta, is spending awhile with the family of Mr. N. 0. Farmer, with the hope of im? proving his health in the hp-country. Dr. J. P. Harris lost a valuable milch cow by death last week, and a tenant on the farm of Mr. J. A. Gantt, Jr., had one to break her neck while tethered out. The quality of the wheat this year is generally conceded to be good, though the yield mav fall short of a fair crop. Next Sunday will be observed by the Presbyterian congregation at Townville, as Children's Day, and the collection will be appropriated to Foreign Missions. Mr. A. C. Bartlett, of Townville, who has been confined to his bed for nearly a year with a spinal affection, was able to attend services at the Baptist Church last Saturday. Mr. W. S. Hunter, of Seneca, with his wife and children, visited his aged parents at Townville lost week. Next Saturday, the 13th, the annual election of officers for Townville Alliance will occur. * Fair Flay Items. We had a very heavy wind, rain and hail Btorm last Saturday night. It hailed about twenty minutes. The hail-stones were small but done some damage to cotton and corn. It was the heaviest rain that has fallen in this section this year, washing land badly. Streams were the fullest they have been this year, but we came off light to what some have, especially on the road leading from this place to Earle's Bridge. On the plantation of N. 0. Farmer the hail beat his cotton and corn up terribly, the wind blew his pasture fences down, and he was compelled to build them up Sunday morning to keep his Btock up. Mr. Calvi n McClain says the storm was worse down near Sloan's Ferry than it was at Mr. Far? mer's. We had a good rain last Monday morning. The orops are growing finely now, and so is the grans. Children's Day will be observed at Jones' Chapel Saturday, the 13th inst. Wheat cutting time is here, but not much wheat to cut in this section. The farmers should sow more wheat and oats. Mr. Floyd B. Watson paid a visit to Anderson City last Sunday. The health of this community is good. Faiii Play. New Prospect Items. We have as fine crops in this section as I have seen anywhere. In company with a friend we spent last Saturday night at the hospitable home of Mr. James Hawkins. He and his excellent wife treated us royally, and our stay with them was highly enjoyed. Mr. Hawkins is an energetic farmer, and thoroughly understands his business. He contemplates getting up a singing school in the near future, and wc hope will succeed. The Olio seation can't be excelled for pretty girls, though some of us would like to get up a swap with the Neva SGOtion, which Is also noted for its charming girls. Miss Lou Harbin is very sick at this writing, and we join her many friends in wishing her a speedy recovery. If this escapes the waste basket, you may heai from me again. Zigzey. ? Sylvanus Master, of Upper Greenville County, found the skeleton of a carrier pigeon on Swan Mountain near Table Rock, in Pickens County, a few days ago. Some bird of prey had just feasted upon its carcass. These words were found upon one of its wing feathers : "If caught or shot, report to F. Reamer. Washington, D. an ? The Press and Banner says : Mr. H. P. McGee, merchant of Due West is the rich? est man in Abbeville County, Twenty years ago he went to Due West with noth? ing but ability and a good name. To-day he owes no man anything but good will, and is worth more than 9100,000, He made it all honestly. No man has said a word of reproach of him or of his business methods. ? Yesterday during the forenoon the vicinity of the R. &. D. Railroad shops was the scone of considerable excitement caused by a well known young white lady taking laudanum with suicidal in? tent. As soon as her deed was discovered the family instantly had a leading phy? sician summoned, and after considerable trouble, he succeeded in saving the young lady's life. Tho cause of the attempt, it is said, was a love affair which tho young lady, being only 10 years of age, took too much to heart.?Columbia State, 5th inst, ' Dedication of a Church. Last Sunday (7th inst.) was a great day with our colored brethren at Liberty Church, in Honea Path. A very large congregation came together to witness the dedication services. The sermon was preached by Rev. E. V. Gasaway, of An? derson, from Ps. 84 and 1: "How amiable arc thy tabernacles, 0 Lord of hosts." The writer was not there in time to hear the sermon, but heard It favorably Bpoken of. The Church building cost about $1200, and is a neat, comfortable building. The Church was organized in 1866. Rev. W. P. Martin and Rev. R. King assisting in the organization. They have had three pastors. Rev. Stewart Oliver, the present pastor, has served them faithfully since 1880. Under his ministry the new house has been erected, and he desires to thank the white people for their generous help in buildin'g the house. The membership is now about 450. After the Dedication a collection was taken, amounting to 510.00, which was very good considering the scar? city of money. The writer made some re? marks at the close of the services. We hope that the Church will be prospered more and more as the years roll by. We were glad to be present, and judge from the ap? pearance of the people that they must be in a prosperous condition. D. W. Hiott. A Jicir Sub-Treasury Scheme. Tofeka, Kan., June 7.?The Alliance Executive Committee of Kansas is con? sidering a gigantic scheme, which practi? cally places the sub-treasury plan of the National Farmers' Alliance in the hands of private capitalista. J. C. Hopkins, who was a delegate ftora the New York Economic Club at the Cincinnati conven? tion, is the originator of the scheme. The plan is to establish a bank in each Coun? ty of the State, under the direction of the local Alliance Exchange. The capital stock is to be furnished by private sub? scriptions, as in other banks, except that as far as possible the subscribers are to be members of the Alliance. In connection with each bank an eleva? tor or storehouse is to be built. A farmer may then dump his grain into the eleva? tor, receiving for it a check for 80 per cent, of the value of the grain deposited by paying a small per centage for storage and insurance. He will be allowed to keep his grain in a depository until such time as he may deem it beat to place it on the market. Corn, wheat, rye, oats, tobacco, cotton, Bilk, castor beans, or any other imperish? able farm product, the price of which is not liable to too great fluctuations, is to be received at the depository and deposit checks issued on 80 per cent, of its value. The amount of grain deposited in this way must not exceed tho amount of stock subscribed for the bank. As soon as the capital of such a bank is subscribed, 20 per cent, of the same must be paid in. Of this, one-half must be deposited in the home bank to take up checks offered, then the balance will be deposited in New York, where most checks are ultimately taken up. The checks to be issued by these banks are peculiarly devised and are printed in colors. Some have already been printed, and it is the judgment of Alliance officers that they would be quite as hard to coun? terfeit as a national bank note. Each de? positor receives a check book with checks made out in small amounta, a total not to exceed 80 per cent, of the value of the grain or other product deposited. These are made payable in gold or silver at any of the banks run in this manner, and it is intended that they shall be circulated as money. They are first made out in the name of the depositor and afterward endorsed by him and made payable to bearer. ? In Mexico is situated the most mag? nificently constructed railroad in the world. This is the Mexican Gulf Road, where the ties are made out of the finest mahogany and the bridges built of mar? ble. The waste seems criminal, but the builders are actuated by motivea of econ? omy, as they find the mahogany and mar? ble along the trackside. The road has not really cost much to construct, but if the materials were appraised at standard prices the total would mount up into mil? lions. ?Elmer FoBter, a farm hand, and Miss Ada P. Townsend, a beautiful young heiress, both of Galena, 111., fell in love with each other. The girls' parents per? sistently opposed the match. Monday evening the two took strychnine and they were found dead next morning in the dining-room of the girl's home, her pa? rents having retired and left the two to? gether. FOR_RENT.
