A SPECIMEN vEsDER OF oLEoMARGERISE
AND HOW THE PEOPLE ARE CHEATED.
AS an illustration of the frauds perpe-
trated by representing and selling as
genuine butter the much cheaper and far
more questionable article known as
oleomargerine, q gentleman who is an
expert in dairy matters, having been en-
gagged in the butter and egg business for
twenty years, narrated the following in
cident yesterday: "About half-past o.

The seeming farmer announced that he
had butter for sale. As IL l desired to
purchase, asked him to let me see and
taste 1t. L first examined round print
weighing pound, for which he asked 80
cents; next square half-pound print
which he would not sell for less than
twenty-three cents, because, he said, 1t
was his 'own make and, last, a half
moon pound print, which l was offered
for forty cents.
The wagon contained large quantity
of the butter all in these three prints,
and all oleomargerine, of one quality.

Runaway and Accident.

Last night about IL O'Clock, as Sylves-
ter d. Townsend and Douglass Mccoy
were driving home, they met with very
severe accident at Fourth street and Rail-
road Avenue. 1t appears from the state
ment of the occupants of the carriage
that whom they approached the crossing,
that a freight car was standing partly
across the roadway, and the horse be-
coming frightened, SHE'D, and in doing
so one of the carriage wheels caught in
the rails, breaking it of, and throwing
the occupants from the carriage.
At the breaking of the wheel the horse
became frightened but Mr.. Townsend
still retained his hold ON the lines and
was dragged about $50 yards. Both OF
the gentlemen returned to the Washing
ton House, and 1t was found that Mr..
Townsend received several severe cats
about the head and face, and that Mr..
Mccoy was hurt In the back. DR..
Snitcher was summoned aad sewed up
Mr.. TownseDd's cuts. In the meantime
the wounded men were taken care of BY
Mr.. Hopes and John McCaffrey. It Is
thought that suit will be brought
against the railroad company for allow
Ing the car to stand where 1t was.

Negroes from the back country of
South Carolina continue to throng into
Charleston with view of taking pssage
to Liberia, though so far no ship destined
for that far off shore has made its appear
ance in the harbor. The faith of these
simple Americans of Africen descent in
the ultimate success of their pilgrimage
is astonishing. "We'll get dar, shuah,"
was the reply of a gray-headed old negro,

Hank Blanchard has recently become

was exhibiting it in front of Orndorff's

asked permission to look through 1t.
He had no sooner got it to his eye than
a team OF horses and q sleigh coming
down G. street, near the First Ward
school house FELL in range. The sleigh
was at least halt "a mile away, but to tue
inebriate's vision. aided by Blancbatd's
bring EN- near, 1t seemed to be only
about three yards off. In an instant
the man dropped the glass and made a
wild break tor the sidewalk, knocking
down two of the crowd, and falling
headiong on top of them. When he
found himself safe under OrLd0rtt' =

to see If any of the crowd had been run
over. Not seeing the team, he iaqni:ed
