Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch
GAINESVILLE, Va, May 10. 1884.
The first through train from Richmond
over the Richmond and Mecklcnburg rail-
road arrived on the north side OF the river
here yesterday. Passengers dined in
Richmond and reached here by 7 o'clock
the same day. Work will be commenced
at once on the bridges across the staunton
and Dan rivers. The completion Of this
road is great deliverance from isolation
OF the people OF this section.
The people OF Granville, N. c., are
thoroughly aroused on the railroad ques-
ton, and have gone vigorously TO work TO
build road from Oxford to this town,
thus placing themselves In more direct
communication with your city.
This Is a large tobacco market. Millions
of pounds are annually sold here. Our
transportation facilities are greatly In
creased, and your city will share In the
trade from this section to large extent.

Baltimore and the Danville System.
The Baltimore Sun has. never been an adj
yocate OF the proposed loan by the Monu-
mental City of %, 100000 TO the Richmond
and DanyiIe railroad. This had struck us as
little singular, in view Of the fact that
the Sun is generally in the forefront in
any scheme that can benefit Baltimore.
Now, however, the apparent inconsistency
OF its course Is explained. In yesterdays

that Baltimore will become the northern

city "is a pure matter Of business" the

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Fresno County, Cal, is making q

Kings River TO irrigate 0,000,0 900 acres
of dry and worthless desert.
DR.. Haensal, German savant, has
succeeded in photographing several
lightning flashes, and with such sue
cess as to enable the length of the
course Of the electric current to be COM
puted, and also the locality where the
lightning struck to be estimated with
accuracy. Valuable results are eX-
pectcd from further experiments.
Pine sawdust, highly compressed,
has been successfully used TO make up
centre frames of carriage wheels. 1t Is
said to be so solid that it will bear q
pressure equal TO twenty-three tons per
square inch. As sawdust has also been
used for partitions and bricks, its APP
plication TO the production of complex
carvings and holdings does not seem
TO be far of. Chicago Herald.
"A Jacksonville CFla) merchant
has just shipped North two hundred
boxes of lemons grown in Florida.
They are said to be as fine lemons as
can be grown anywhere, their color
being perfect, while they are finely ila-
vored, and rs juicy as the best Mes
sinas. Mr.. Bean, the shipper of the
lot, says the fruit-growers throughout
Florida are paying very much more at
tcntion TO growing lemons since a sue
ccssful experiment was made in curing
them last season, and are setting out or

Where a Tragedy Took Place.

"I wouldn't tear that front wall down
for $4,000 cash. said Mr. Thomas II.
Green, of Philadelphia. Hundreds of
people have asked me why / didn't
Greco nicer front when L was over
hauling the building" continued Mr.
Green, "but | much prefer allowing the
old brick front to remain, because of
the historic associations of the build
ing. Here it is that Benedict Arnold
once made his home. In the early part
of the present century the building
came into the possession of the ances-
tors of the well-known Burd and Ship
pen families, whose histories are prom
inently interviewer with that Of the
city itself. One of the female members
of the Burd family on dying bequeathed
the property to relative with the in-
junction that the home should never be
converted into stores. To disobey this
command would necessitate demolish-
ing the front, and so you can see why it
is l wish to allow the wall to remain,
because by so doing 1 consider l am
complying with the dying injunction OF
its former owner.
"Do you know there is romantic
story connected with the housep' said
Mr.. Green. about fifty years ago one
of the daughters of the Burd family was
engaged to be married to q prominent
Southern gentleman. On the night be-
fore the day fixed for the wedding q
large company was gathered in the par
lor of the mansion, and the conversa-
ton turned upon ghosts. When the
hour for retiring had arrived the ladies
were pretty well worked up with the
stories they had heard. The betrothed
couple fingered q few moments in the
parlor, and when the lady expressed q
fear of meeting with a ghost her broth.
er spoke up aud said Look out for the
ghost of Benedict Arnold tonight The
Southerner, handing the lady a pistol,
said Place this under your pillow and
if any ghost appears don't be afraid tC
shoot The brother, who was a sort OF
daredevil fellow, resolved to have some
fun. He contrived to steal the weap-
on away from his sister, and when
everybody was asleep he dressed him
self in the uniform of an officer OF
the Continental army. Entering the
chamber of his sister, he made noise
which awoke her, and when the terrified
girl saw what she believed to be tho
ghost of Arnold she set up such g
screaming that she awakened the house.
hold, In a few minutes the room was
filled with the other members of the
family When the matter was explained
by the erring brother the future hus-
band of his sister became so angry that
he grossly insulted the young man and
then and there challenged him to fight
duel. In few hours the prelimi-
naries were all arranged. A little piece
of woods in the southwestern part OF
the city was selected. which they
reached about daylight. Pistols were
proposed, and the two plucky men
faced each other at twenty yards dis
tance. At the first fire both foil, NOR
tally wounded, and when the seconds
and the physicians drove up to the man
sion in the early hours of the morning
they tenderly conveyed two corpscs to q
resting place within its portals. and the
heart-broken sister was compelled to
mourn the untimely death of brother
and a lover. Philadelphia Record.

BustIes, Shoulder. Straps. Etc.

The most fashionable mScSGstes de-
pend principally on the drapery of the
dress itself for giving the very large
tournures which arc now in vogue.
There are, however, many who do not
understand arranging these intricate
draperies, and there are flat figures that
need small hustle in addition to any
dress, no matter how full. For these
snght figures the newest bustles are
made of eight narrow frills of barred
muslin OF hair-cloth very fully plated
on V-shaped foundation piece of the
same muslin, that is curved into shape
by strings tied across it-not by the OBJ
jectionable bones or steel hoops. II
anything more is needed, one or two
steels are put in castings across the back
breadths of the dress skirt. There il
also what Is called hustle skirt, COM
bining tournure and petticoat in one,
and this, when trimmed across the foot
with flounces, is worn by stout
ladies, and made TO serve as the
only skirt. This has some hoops
across the back that stop on the sides,
and there are one or two muslin
flounces around the foot; tapes attached
to the sides are tied underneath the
hoops to give the desired curve. An
other skirt that gives good size, dis
penses with hoops, and may be easily
made at home, and laundried there at
small cost, is also hustle skirt made of
corded muslin. The muslin with the
cords in bars takes the starch best,
but that with the cords in stripes
will do very well. These skirts are
hA, tr,a ~.
width at the foot, with the front and
side cores slightly sloped to the top,
and the back breadth sloped up the
middle, thus cutting it in two pieces to
make shapcly foundation for flounces
that are placed across it. There are
five of the flounces that cover it from q
few inches below the belt to the foot,
and the lowest flounce goes below the
skirt. These gathered flounces are very
full, and after being stifily starched
they are worn trough h-dried"-that is,
without ironing. Instead of q straight
belt they have a French waistband
shaped to point in front, and made
quite large, with drawing-strlng in
the top. Such skirts can be bought in the
shops for one dollar, and can probably be
made at homo at even less expense. The
hair pads or cushion bustles are still
put inside of dress skirts, but are object
ed to on account of their warmth. A
plating of very stiff barred crinoline is
a better arrangement, and may be at
tached to the belt of each dress.
Shoulder-straps similar to gentle
mems suspenders are furnished to hold
up heavily trimmed dress skirts, and
keep them in their proper place just be-
low the waist line. These may be
merely elastic ribbons sewed perma-
ncntly to the skirt back to be passed
over the shoulders and hooked or but
toned TO the belt in front. There are
also separate suspenders that may be
attached to any dress by the hooks that
finish each end. These straps transfer
the weight of the dress from the hips to
the shoulders, and the wearer must de-
eide for herself where she can best en-
durc this weight. --Harper'S Basar.

What Good Havana Was Sacrificed To.


There were two of them in the car.
They sat together. One of themaidens
carried in her lap about five pounds OF
live sausage with the hair on in the
shape of sick poodle. On the front
platform near the open door was gen
tleman who. in violation of the COM
pany's rules, was pulling good cigar,
the smoke of which now and then rolled
around the ladies just mentioned. Said
the one with the dog TO the other, who
was doglcss: "Oh, how / hate vile to-
bacco smoke. wouldn't marry man
who used tobacco in any form il he was
as rich rs Jay Gould and rs handsome
as Oscar Wilde. | would rather die an
old maid (she looked to be about fifty).
| can't see how q man can use il and be
received in society as respectable; but

Conductor" she continued, twill you
please request that man to stop smoking,
or close that doorp 1t is an outrage TO
permit such conduct on car. IL Is
very disagreeablc to me and hurts my
dogs eyes" The conductor did as he
was requested and the gentleman,
throwing away his cigar, came inside,
and this is what he heard and what he
saw. Said the girlish thing, whose lover
was dog, addressing the poodle whose
eyes were red with epizoot and whose
nose was in need of plumber: "Did on
dit dat nassy ole bakky moke in on dear
itsy bitsy cycsP Let on Missy yub him
out for ou," and with this loving Ian
guage she fishcd up clean looking
handkerchief and mopped the darling's
ocular machinery. He acknowledged
the kindness by kissing her two or three
times on her tasteless lips. then frisking
around, marking her white dress with
dirty feet, cuddled up in her arms, and
blinked at the gentleman across the
way who had sacrificed good Havana
that worthless dog might not be an
noyed. Washington Capital.
