STONE CUT WITH SHOT.
Sand and Emery Ueing Superseded
by New Method.
It is popularly supposed that the
sawinsr of stone into slabs or blocks is
done by sand and water beneath some
suitable tool. But sand and emery
have been abandoned in favor of
chilled-steel shot. Steel shot is made
so hard that it cannot be bruised o-r
crushed under the heaviest pressure,
whereas sand or emery is soon reduced
to an ineffective powder. A piece
of work can be done thrice as fast
with shot, so that the saving of
time, says Harper's Weekly, makes
it9 use cheaper than to use sand. The
wear on the tool is far less also, and
there is greater accuracy in the cut.
A particle of sand is effective in sawing
only when it embeds itself in the
blade, to stand there as a small, sharp
tooth, which removes from the stone
below it one grain at a time and no
mnrp A shot rolls over and over
between the blade and the stone, and
as the point of contact is very small,
the pressure there concentrated
crushes the hardest stone to splinters
of appreciable size. Shot of different
sizes should be worked together,
as the largest tend to escape from
under the blade first, then the next in
size, and so on, leaving some i&.ioer
the blade to the end of the cut.
The durability of the shot is amazing.
Under a ring drill, steel shot is
employed in borings of all sorts in
quarrying, etc. In sinking the foundations
for the Hudson Terminai in
New York, cores six to eight inches
in diameter were thus taken out more
economically than was feasible by any
other method. This hard shot is aiso

ishing a job far more rapidly than
formerly. No special machinery is required
and only the simplest of tools.
A strip of sheet iron notched along its
edge like a saw with teeth half an
inch high and two inches apart will
eat its way through a-stone by aid of
the shot at a rapid pace.
GIRL HAS THREE HUSBANDS.
Young Woman Arrested at Greenville
Tells of Matrimonial affairs.
Greenville, April 10.?Three husbands
in six years, all living, is the
matrimonial record of a pretty 18year-old
girl, who is being held in
the woman's ward at the county
prison, charged with polygamy. According
to the girl's statement, she
was originally married at Newport,
Tenn., to a man who she alleges
forced her to marry him. Soon leaving
him, she married again in about
a year. Husband No. 2 mistreated
her, she claims. She accordingly
left him without the formality of a
" ~ n * 1 + <T/-V C"V?Q
divorce. several uiuuwb <x&v oh&
came to Greenville to "live with her
mother's niece," as she expressed it.
Becoming enamored of a young man,
James D. Scott, she married him
March 3, last. Scott soon learned of
his two predecessors in his wife's
affections, and yesterday reported
the matter to the sheriff, who arrested
the girl. Scott says he loves the
girl, and the girl says she loves
Scott. The query now is. who will
furnish the evidence to convict her,
; provided she refuses to tell her story
in court?
The girl's maiden name was Zoie
Ledford. She is quite intelligent
and feels humiliated that her plight
should have been discoveded.

. Xegro Shoots Another and in Turn
is Shot by Officers.
Lexington, S. C.. April 13.?In a
pistol duel on the principal thoroughfare
of this usually quiet little town
at 6:30 jo'clock this afternoon, two
negroes received pistol shot wounds
which may result fatally to both par
ties.
Boozer Strouthers was shot by
Henry Edwards, who in turn was
shot by Lester .Miller, son of Sheriff
Sim Miller, and Chief of Police Klecklev.
Edwards fired upon the officers
when they went to arrest him.
Stro-thers, who was shot in the left
/
side and the lower abdomen, was
carried to a hospital in Columbia.
Edwards was shot in the left breast,
the ball barely missing the heart and
lodging itself in the body, the extent
of injuries cannot be determined
tonight.
The shooting was the result of a
quarrel between Strothers and Edwards
who claimed that Strothers had
a knife in his hands when he fired the
first shot. Fifteen or more shots
were fired. Edwards immediately
after the shooting made his way
across a back street followed by the
two officers. When he was told to
throw up his hands he drew a pistol
from his pocket and fired directly at
the officers who returned the fire.
Not until the pistol was empty did
he cease to shoot. Edwards was
brought to jail, where his wounds
were dressed by Dr. G. Frank Roberts.

KILLED BULL WITH HANDS.
Hi"- Irishman Gave Mexicans Chance
To See How Americans "Would I)oit.*'
In the "nineties" everybody on the
.Mexican Central knew Mike Moran.
He was gigantic young Irish-American,
standing about six foot in his
stockings, and proportioned like a
hercules.
He had worked his way up from
coal-passer to fireman, from fireman
to freight engine-driver, and from
freight to passenger. Promotion was
rapid twenty years ago on the Mexican
Central.
Mike's grand coup, that made his
name known from El Paso to Oaxaca,
was made when, as a "cub" enginedriver,
he was in charge of a graveltrain
during the construction of the
Sullivan road, now known as the Mexican
National.
It happened at Acambovo, which
was then the end of the "line. The
town was "wide open," as they say,
with eamblinsr. drinking and bull
fighting as the standard amusements
of the rollicking crowd of well-paid
adventurers whfi were rapidly pushing
the road to completion with the
vim and energy that characterize the
American workingman wherever he
may be found.
The usual Sunday afternoon bull
fight found Mike, or "Don Miguel,"
as the admiring peons of his gravel
train called him, with a load of vino
under his belt, which he carried with
ease and dignity, as became his stature
and position, although there was
enough of it to have put three smaller
men asleep or crazy drunk.
The first bull came into the ring
and, after passing through the usual
tests of pich, capa and banderilla,
was deftly killed by the chief bull
fighter, or matador, with one thrust'
through the heart.
It was all done in the most approved
style of the art, but Mike,
who had once worked in a slaughter
house in Kansas City, viewed the
whole proceedings with contempt and
disdain.
"That ain't no way to kill a bull!"
he growled. "Let me in that ring,
and I'll show 'em how we do it in
Kansas City."
No sooner thought of than done.
He forced his way into the inclosure
which in every bull ring serves as a
sort of greenroom for the performers,'
and, walking up to the picador, who
was already mounted and ready to go
into the ring, calmly pulled him from
the saddle, regardless of the indignant
protests and threats of the man
and his fellow performers. Then,
dressing himself in the picador's costume,
which he plucked from its
righful owner very much as one picks
a chicken, Mike leaped into the saddle
and, lance in hand, rode out into
the ring, where his train crew of
Mexican shovel experts recognized
him by his great bulk and received
him with storms of applause. The
legitimate and duly accredited bull
fighters looked on in a state of semi?,tn
refaction from the greenroom
door.
The bull was a good one and appeared
to be suffering from a distinct
grievance as h'e rushed into the
ring like a roaring lion.
Mike's huge bulk on the starveling,
weak-kneed mustang was the
most prominent object that met his
eyes, and without a moment's loss of
time he charged.
In an instant the sharp point of
the garocha (la-pce) was in his
shoulder, and Mike gracefully and
easily?thanks to his wonderful
strength?held the bull off, although
his mount had a narrow escape from
a fall.
"Viva Don Miguel. Xuestro maquinista!"
howled the gravel train
gang in chorus. "Bully for you. Jumbo!"
shouted Tom Foley, a fellow
Irish-American, above the din.
"Stick him again, Moike. Stick
him again!" came in rich sonorous
accents from Paddy Cafferty, the boss
of the steam shovel outfit, while the
rest of the crowd gave vent to yells
of inarticulate enthusiasm.
Discomfitted by the. sharp recep'

a few yards and there stood
pawing and tossing his head, half
frightened by the pandemonium on
all sides of him. Mike, gracefully
raising both hat and lance in salute,
acknowledged the applause that was
being showered upon him.
Quick as a flash the bull saw his
chance, rushed in under his guard, J
and threw horse and rider over his
back, the horse, in falling, pinning;
Mike to the ground by his left leg.
Fortunately Mike was unhurt, although
the poor h^*se was finished.
As the bull retired slightly with lowered
head, preparatory to another
charge, Mike extricated himself with
a mighty pull from beneath his fallen
charger and stood up. There was
no time to either run or aoage. ine
bull hud the right of way, and was
coming "with the throttle wide open,"
as Mike described it afterward. A
head-on collision, or something very
like it, was bound to happen in less
than a second. But Mike was equal
to the occasion.

THE GREEN BAG INQUIRY.
How u British Investigation Got Its
Name.
The Green Bag Inquiry began February
3, 1S17, 9 6 years ago. The inquiry
took its name from the fact
that its chief promoter, the Tory
Lord Sidmouth, carried the papers
upon which it was based into parliament
in a green bag.
The British people, having put
down Napoleon, began thinking that
it might be just as well to put down
the clique of little Napoleons at
home, writes the Rev. Thomas B.
Gregory in the New York American,
who were strutting around in their
imaginary greatness and doing much
harm to the rank and file of the
kingdom. Having settled the affairs
of the continent, they very wisely
concluded that it was about time to
begin settling their own affairs.
In a word, the people began holding
meetings to discuss the ways
and means of relieving the political
and economic situation in which they
found themselves, a situation that
was as full of distress as it was of
humiliation.
* T } n; o * v.
?\OW, my IjUiu oiuiuuuiu, vuiti 115
the sentiment of the greater part of
the British aristocracy, declared that
these public meetings were as dangerous
as they were presumptious.
A member of the house of lords
thus unbosomed himself: "These
meetings are not meetings of the
people of England but of vagabonds.
They sap the spirit of loyalty, of
morality, of religion, and serve to
subvert our laws and our liberties."
Still another said: "Reform is innovation;
innovation is revolution;
revolution means the guillotine and
the dagger. Down with reform."
To this balderdash the reply of the
people was: "The question now is
as to the paramount and imprescriptable
right of the people of England
to meet and express their opinion
upon the political state of the country.
We hold that to be a right not
only of Englishmen, but one inherent
in man?one antecedent to all political
institutions of which no political
institution can deprive mankind."
With his green bag Sidmouth went
to the parliament and came out with
the famous "Four Acts," the two
most important of them being the
"seditious meetings act," prohibiting
the assembling of the people for public
discussion, and the "bill for the
suspension of habeas corpus," which,
violating the most sacred provision
of Magna Charta, gave powers to
ministers to arrest practically any one
they wished, thus establishing upon
the soil of England as veritable a
despotism as was ever set up by an
Oriental sultan or a Russian czar.
Such was the result of the first
attempt in modern times of the people
of England to secure the freedom
of speech upon which all governmental
justice and all personal selfrespect
necessarily depends. It was
a forlorn beginning. But fortunately
it was only a beginning. The fight
was kept up, and today there is no
freer people on the footstool than
those who were so summarily down'
ed by Lord Sidmo-uth and the Green
j Bag 96 years ago.

Allendale, April 10.?A raid on a

Amidst round after round of wild
applause, while money, cigars, silk
handkerchiefs, and even somDeros

devotees of hull-fighting,
.Mike placed his foot on the head of
the fallen monarch of the range and,
laying one hand on his breast and
raising the other aloft in graceful
imitation of the Spanish bull-fight
ers' custom, turned inquiringly toward
the judge's stand. The judge
nodded graciously, and a moment,
