"A man named Groux, from Ham
burg, is in New York, who has very pecu-
liar malformation which enables people to
observe the action Of the heart and lungs
There is no brsastbone, but in its stead a
thin cartailageous covering, through which
the motions Of the heart and the respiratory
apparatus are almost as visible, says the N.
7. Post, as they could be if Mr.. Groux
were like Charles Lambs man, who had a
pane in his stomach.
In late lecture at the New York
Cooper Institute, Professor Silliman ex-
pressed his belief that the difficulty expert
enced in working the cable was owing to
some defects which were caused by its ex-
Iposure to the great heat of the sun while it
lay coiled last year in the factory at Green
wich, England. Twenty miles of this were
found, on examination, to be-so faulty that
they had to be rejected, and as other defects
had since been found by MI. Tiffany in cut
ting up that portion Of the cable which he
purchased, he had no doubt that the diff
Guilty was attributed to the cause he had
named. he was, therefore, of opinion that
the present cable would never be worked /;
but the enterprise could not, therefore, just
ly be regarded as failure, for its practiea-
bility has been fully established.
The New York Correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, says s'among the latest
improvements in firearms, is a new and
patented revolver firing seven times. It is
the invention of Smith & Wesson. AS a
weapon to carry in the pocket, for defensive
purposes, it certainly possesses every neces-
sary quality; for, while on the one hand it
is so simply yet perfectly constructed that
accidental explosions are simply impossible; ;
on the other hand, its patentees claim that
it can be relied upon not to miss fire for twen-
ty years after it is loaded. Not only is it
unaffected by damp weather, but the charge,
which consists of aball shaped some what
like the MIME rife ball, is inclosed in
copper cap with the powder and priming,
thus rendering it impervious to water that
it may even be boiled for hours, without i'm
pairing its efficiency.
- The Constitutionalist announces the
death of Ex-Governor Schley at Augusta.
"Mr. Schley has held important relations to
the people of Georgia. In 1925, hewas elec-
ted by the Legislature Judge of the Super
ior Court of the Middle Circuit, and held
that position until 1880. In 1880 he rep
resented this county in the Legislature

served during the sessions of 1888, '94 and
'35; and in 1885 was elected Governor of
the State, and filed that Office until 1887.
Mr.. Schley was at one time the Grand Mas
ter of the Grand Lodge of Georgia, and for
about twenty-five years from its organization,
in 1922, the Grand High Priest of the Grand
Royal Arch Chapter of the State, and was
its first presiding officer, and among the
oldest Masons in the State. He was Presi.
dent of the Medical College of Georgia, at

- It devolves upon US to record aserious
and fatal accident, that occurred to the train
of the Laurens Rail Road, just as it left the
Depot at this place on yesterday morning
We were an eyewitness to the occurrence,
and can speak positively about the matter
The Greenville train had not gone over one
quarter of mile, when the Laurens train
followed Immediately after it. The latter
train had proceeded not more than one hun
dred and fifty yards from the Depot, to the
middle of the high embankment beyond,
when an explosion took place just at the
dome of the boiler, hurling the dome at least
seventy-fve feet in the air, and letting it fall
about fifty yards from the embsnkment, up
on the top of which the cars stood. Hun
dreds of fragments were scattered in all d.
rcctions, and some portions of the casing of
the engine were thrown at least one hundred
and fifty yards from the spot. Strange to
