An Unexpected Feature IN Fair Tableau.

CONSIDERABLE excitement was caused
in the town of Granville last evening in
a society fair, which may serve as a warn
ing in the future to originatOrs and con-
ductors of tableaux. It appears that, at
the fair in question, one of the tabIeaux
! represented the burning of a " fair mar
tyr at the stake. A young lady who had
volunteered to officiate as the "marytr,"
was tied to a stake. in accordance with
aye ancient custom, and the traditional
tagots were piled up around her, at what
was supposed to be a sase distance.
These fagOts were saturated with an in
hammable fluid, and, when ignited, they
were at once all in a blaze-in fact, the
fire eneircled them like fash. For about
a minute the martyr stood her ground
nobIy, and the whole was producing a
brilliant and pleasing effect, when the
young lady suddenly screamed, to the
CONSERVATION Of the assembly, as that
had not been understood as a part of the
programme. Those present were so as
tOnished that they stood motionless for
some seconds, when one young man, who
regained his presence of mind, saw plain
ly the thing was being overdOne, and he
made an attempt to rescue her, and sue
ceeded. He was Just in time to save her
from being badly SCARED. As itwas, her
arms and head-dress were scOrched. The
subsequent exercises can be easily imag-

for the celebration of their nuptials, but
unfortunately the young gentleman who
procured the license failed to make his
appearance with that important document.
and after waiting a long time the minis

Another clergyman was sent for. but owing
to the lateness of the hour and the in

comply, and the ceremony had to be post

ever, one Of the bridal attendants swan

groom, mounted on horseback, drew near

a stump, and from the opposite side of
the stream, proceeded to solcmnize the

both sides of the crossing, neither would

During that time a crowd of about three

derlv on High street. Garner is a black
smith. and is perhaps - or 80 years of
age. His wife is but little younger. He
told the Mayor that they had left Chica-

live in Newark, and had reached this
place by way Of indianapolis, Lawrence
burgh, Indiana, and Cincinnati, thinking,
may be, that "the longest way round was
the shortest way home" Tired out on
their arrival here they had taken a oou-

came intoxicated. The Mayor in con-
sidoration ofthe circumstance discharged
them. on condition that they proceed on
their journey at Once,-06'o Salesman.

day, of a man who once lived within q
hundred miles Of New Albany, who was

betting commenced. The time was six
o'clock and thirty-fve minutes in the
morning. The first, second, third, and
forth, and even the fifth turn was COM
pleted without any great advantage upon
either side; but, during the next five
turns, it was evident that, with the ex-
ceptiOn Of the fair belle above mention
ed, SesogUiche was losing ground. She,
however, kept breast with two wiry look
ing creatures from Baconia. At the
twelfth turn of the mountain all but the
three here mentioned dropped from the
track.
The multitude was now pretty well
soaked with Tezunia, and the betting
ran to the widest extremes; every one
who had anything of value staked it on
the race-hoes, ploughs and other ag-
ricultural implements, horses, cattle,
sheep, pigs, goats, cats, dogs, and what
ever else there was of value changed
hands. The men bet their clothes, while
the women pitched in and bet their pet
ticoats. All was a wild uproar, and the
Derby sweepstakes were nowhere.
THE FINISH.
The thirteenth turn was made; butt
was evident that the Sesoguiche belle
was getting out of wind, and, after all,
had not so much bottom as the Wiry
contestants from Baconia. But she was
not far behind, and, although Baconia
took the prize, it was not matter for
much boasting.
The two women from Baconia were
received with the Ioudest shouts of ioy
by their towns-people. They had fin
ished the race at eight o'clock in the
evening, making the whole distance in
thirteen hours and twenty-five minutes
by the watch.
The only stops made during the time
by the contestants for the prizes, were
either to take a little water or eat fru-
gally ofpinolj-a simple cruel made of

SPEAKING of the late food, the CKat-

tha Cherokee nation was removing from
this part of Tennessee, old Squire Viii.
liam NJ. Shoemaker purchased Of the
abOriginees a tract of land, located on
the Tennessee river, about four miles
from Harrison. He was informed BY the
original owners, that they could trace,
by their traditions, the possession of this
tract of land in their family, back to the
year l777, and that during all that time
the waters had never been known to over
flow the knoll on which their cabin was
then standing Mr.. Shoemaker accord
ingly built his house upon this knoll,
and has lived upon the place ever since
1887. In 1917, the water, during the
greatest freshet ever known previous to
that time, only came up to mis- back yard;
but during the great food Of 1867, now

Foot Race of Mexican Women--One Hun
dred Miles in I3 Hours, 25 Minutes.

Among the Tarahumares foot racing
is a favorite diversion. and even the
women compete in the lists. At times
a great rivalry springs up between the
adjoining towns of some districts, as to
the relative merits of the contestants
Within a month a rivalry of this kind.
between the two vii g3s of BIconia and
ISesoguiche gave rise to themost famous
foot race on record.
Four of the fastest women from each
town we're selected, and accompanied to
an intermediate point between the towns,
where there was an oblong mountain
three Mexican leagues around it. bv
measurement of the rOad-around this
it was stipulated that the race was to
take place, the prize to be conceded to
those who made the quickest time in
running around the mountain fourteen
times-a distance, at the very least, of
one hundred English miles. At fixed
points, within the circumference of the
mountain, guards were stationed. who
were to see that the race was conducted
with fairness. The whole population
of the surrounding country had assem- /
bled with whatever they could collect /
ofvalue. that they might have the op-
portunity of betting something upon
the result, which was to bring shame or F..
honor to the rival villagers. They were
also sufficiently civilized to have a large /
quantity of the Intoxicating drink-the /
Tezuina.

PREPARING For TIE RAcE.

As the eight athletic creatures took
their places at the starting point, the
excitement ran high; they were, like
the old Roman athletes, stripped for the
contest, the only garment being a short
petticoat, which reached within about
six inches of the knee.
Our informant, who stopped his tray
els for a day to witness this novel race,
was struck with the magnificent dcvel-
opement of muscle displayed by a swar-
thy looking belle, and he forthwith bet
his pile on Sesoguiche.
There were other finely developed
creatures IN the lists, but none whose
bright eye, clean limbs, hard looking
flesh and apparent gutta- -percha elastic
ity of motinn, drew so wildly up on his
imagination, and so powerfully upon his
purse.
THE START AND THE BETTING.
The whole bevy were off at the word
go, amid the widest excitement, and the
