The ships in the fleet to-day were the Connecticut, (flag ship,) Vermont, Louisiana, Kansas, Maine, * New Hampshire, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Minnesota, Georgia, Rhode Island, Nebraska and Idaho.

Scientists have found in a cave in Switzerland bones of men, who lived 100,000 years ago, when life was in > constant danger from wild beasts. To-day the danger, as shown by A. W. Brown, of Alexander, Me., is largely from deadly disease. "If it had not been for Dr. King's New i Discovery, which cured me, I could not have lived," he writes, "suffering as I did from a severe lung trouble and stubborn cough." To cure sore lungs, colds, obstinate coughs, and prevent pneumonia, its the best medicine on earth. 50c. and $1.00. 4 Guaranteed by Peoples Drug Co., Bamberg, S.

The little boy bad started to go down tne steps and bis foot slipped and he fell with the above result The mother and step grandfather of the little boy took him and hurried to town and engaged the services of Dr. Wimberly, who in a short time relieved the little fellow of the intense suffering. This morning a little negro boy named Eugene Smith broke into the beef market of W. W. Barrs, and opened the money till and stole therefrom $5.00. This happened about daylight. When Mr. Barrs came down to his market and opened his money till he saw that it had been tampered with and that some money had been taken therefrom. This boy was so small (he being only eleven years old) until it was hard -to believe that he was capable of committing such a crime, but suspicion pointed directly to the child and a search was made and the money was found in the little out-house where the boy kept his clothes.

A Study in Anatomy. The brain is the headquarters of the nervous system and contains the central offices of the Anatomical Telephone company. When the suburban nerve center says, "Hello, central," the brain either replies "What number?" "Busy," or "Out of order," as the case may be. Sometimes the wires are crossed and the company fails to declare any dividends, thus placing the entire brain in the hands of a receiver. From the brain issues the spine, which is sometimes useful in matrimony, although rarely strong enough in man for practical purposes, and constantly growing weaker the long er ne is marnea. On top of the head the hair grows, or is supposed to. In some cases, however, it fails to grow despite the most painstaking efforts. In ladies there are two kinds of hair?viz: the imported and domestic. In gentlemen also two kinds? namely, permanent and transient. The permanent is seen in wild men,] the transient in civilized men when young. At one time all the hairs were carefully numbered, but the practice has been discontinued owing to great pressure of other matters.

Alexander Wright, brother of the county auditor, who is visiting Cleveland for a vacation period and who is in the public service in his j Scottish home, tells this tale anent one McGregor, a thrifty man in a land of thrift, who was seen in Glasgow wearing a lustrous sparkler in his cravat. To him said Sandy McDermott: "Who gi'n ye the di'mon, McGregor?" "Nobbut myself," was the answer. . "Oh, aye," ventured the questioner. "Te've been trating yesseT, eh?" "No, that eyether," McGregor made reply. "But ye kin I'm execooter of the estate o' Sammis McDougal." "An* ro Vac roi? Van's in tVa nilc AM J V U?V J V A UI*M V *U KUV y**V the noo?" "Hush, mon," said McGregor, looking hurt " 'Tis a' i' th' will. First, it said, his lawfu' debts were to be paid, which was onnaicessary under the law. Then, it said, th' execooter was to set aside thirty-fi' pun' for th' buryin'. D'ye mind?" "Oh, aye," responded McDermott.

"Aweel, mon," concluded McGregor, "this is the stone."?Cleveland Leader. Useless Luxury.

Marianna, Fla., July 10.?His wife's story that Dr. H. Alexander had kissed her while she was a patient in his chair caused J. V. White to kill the dentist several months ago and to-day the resulting trial ended with the jury's verdict of second degree murder which, carries with it a sentence of life imprisonment. White's plea was that of selfdefense, he asserting that after the trouble had been "patched up" he met Dr. Alexander in a dark street and believed that he was about to be attacked. The dentist was armed only with an umbrella and five bullets were fired at him by White. Witnesses, however, testified that White had threatened to kill Dr. Alexander. Purchases Trust Company.

After she had fastened the $$ doors and blew out the light a man ; ^ came to her bed and demanded her ~ money. She said, "I have no money, my son has it." He then assaulted >?g her. He gained admittance by going up a ladder to an upstairs window. The lady does not know positively who it wan, as it was dark, but knows it M was a negro by his kinky hair. The matter was kept qniet until yesterday. Suspicion rested on Sam Vaughn, a negro who was working XI at the settlement. He begged his employer yesterday morning to can- .??| eel the contract, and the latter did so. Vaughn made one statement which, connected with other circum? stances, led to suspicions, and he was arrested yesterday evening and .^j| placed in jail last night. The people of the eastern part of the county are considerably wrought up over the deed. Negro Hanged Twice.

C. Avera had sprang the trap and the body had dropped six feet re The second attempt proved unsuccessful in breaking the condemned man's neck, death resulting in 15 minutes from strangulation. Lewis shot and killed Clifford Rutherford, assistant postmaster at Lenox, Ga., April 12. He confessed his guilt. By publishing a sketch of his life he earned sufficient money to pay for the transportation of his body to his home at Oakfield, Ga. He was above the average of his race in intelligence. The few spectators who witnessed the spectacle were visibly affected by the gruesomeness. The drop of six feet stretched the cotton rope so that the man's feet touched the earth. He was cut down and with the aid of one man mounted the scafford a second time. He talked coherently. Tortured on a Horse.
