THE FIGHTING AT LIMA.
Caceres' Raid and How it was Met by the
Government Troops.

A letter from Lima, Peru, dated Au.
gust %, says: Things have at last come
to head. The attack, which was to
have been made some weeks ago, on
Lima took place yesterday. About four
a. m. Caceres and his forces marched
upon the city, and the advance guard
began to fire upon the government
troops who had penetrated Beyond the
city walls. Surprised at this sudden at
tack, the government troops fell back.
| The heads of Caceres' columns now be-
gan to enter the city, and by quarter
| past five a. m. made direct attack up
on the palace. For over six hours o
storm of bullets continued, and some
very fierce fighting took place. The
rabble mob, which Caceres' followers
consisted of, yelled and fired in the
greatest disorder, but, Notwithstanding
their defects, they managed to capture
the Quartet and Espiritu Santo (the
principal prison) and the churches of
MERGED and San Augustin. The fire was
probably hotter in the churches than in
| any other part of the city. The fighting
at the San Augustin Church was with
| closed doors. A terrible fusilade was
Kept up here, and nearly one hundred
and fifty people were killed outside the
church doors. Caceres did not take any
active part in the affray. During the
fight he was seen riding about with
some eighty mounted followers, but,
from what 1 can gather, they had been
travelling all night, aud, consequently,
were not in a condition to tackle the
government troops, who were well fed
and fresh from their beds. The fight
ing continued all day, and it certainly
seemed as if it would continue all night
However, about two p. m, the govern
ment troops made a sOrtie and COM
PEELED the revolutionists to fall back.
AFTER THE STRUGGLE.
This morning [ have been ont in
the streets. and they present fearful
sight. Dead bodies are to be seen
everywhere. The number of prisoners
taken amount to over five hundred, in
Guiding officers and several monteneros
chiefs. The officer commanding the
government troops, and who was in
charge of the prison when attacked
is in custody. The prison was taken by
Caceres, and about twenty political
prisoners were liberated. Several per-
sons who were taking no part in the
affray were killed. A German, pro-
prietor of cigar store, one of the favor
lite lounges in Lima, was shot while
looking out of his balcony at the skir-
mish. Another case was that of a man
named Manuel Poita, who was under
going a sentenee of fifteen years i'm
prisonment for homicide. He was
struck by a stray ball and killed.
Caceres and his remaining followers re-
treated to Pisco, whittier they were pur-
sued and the town captured.

Swallowed a Lizard.
THE STRANGE ANIMAL FOUND IN A MAN s
THROAT.

A letter from Petersburg, Va, says
While Police Officer William Schank was
sitting at home with his wife he was sud
denly taken with violent nausea. He
had feeling also as of something
crawling up into his throat. Retching
ensued and a choking sensation. Schank
put his hand into his mouth and aided
by his wife, pulled out what proved to
be a lizard-shaped body. 1t was mani
mate, but incision in the head showed
that life had been there. The thing was
fourteen inches long, two inches III di-
ameter. and the head, which was shaped
like a'greyhound, was three-eighths of
an inch i'll diameter, and the body was
cartlaginous. 1t IS supposed that
Schank swallowed the embryo of the
animal while drinking water.

HATCHING OYSTERS ARTIFICIALLY
What the Infant Bivnlves Look Like-Their
Early Youth and Later Enemies.

Commissioner Blackford went to Cold
Spring Harbor, on the Sound, and took
along a number of scientists to show
them the methods of oyster cultivation
and propagation. To investigate the
mysteries of oyster farming would open
the eyes of the pig breeder and chicken
raiser, and from what was learned OF the
business recently, it may be safely said
that it will be some years before ''fan-
ciers" will take fancy to this kind of
pastime and worry their brains as to how
oyster eggs should be incubated, or how
the young fry should be housed and
reared. A good hen will lay 365 eggs
in year. A good oyster, if well fed
and cared for, will lay 1913, 600, 600.
But there is no bonanza in this, for
oyster eggs don't bring quite as much a
dozen as hens eggs, and it is not every
man who knows whether he is handling
oyster eggs or not. In Matching the
hen sits on her eggs. The oyster eggs
set themselves, as it were, and hatch
into delightful orphanhood. They hatch
in from four to ten hours, and they are
never annoyed with wet feathers They
are curious little things. Professor
Rice, who has charge of the oyster
hatchery at Cold Spring, says that Their
heads resemble a high crowned Derby
hat, while their tails can scarcely be
distinguished from a hat of soft felt 18th
the brim turned down all around. These
beings disport themselves in the water,
are free swimmers, for three or four days,
and gradually assume the shape Of round
CLAIMS. Finally, they "set" upon some
object in the water, a stone most likely,
if one is at hand, and then take upon
themselves the personality of the oyster.
That the oyster has habits none can
deny, nyt it is not certain yet, not even
in Profl nnS,cA,s mind, what they are.
He eeiDgaf,'ad in saying that they
are moral race, attending strictly to
their own business, eating to live and
living to be eaten. The oyster has two
enemies that prey upon it diligently, as
if appointed for that purpose, the star
fish and the drill. The former with its
five long arms upon the bivalve. clutches
it as one would clutch an apple III his
hand, taking care that no portion OF the
edge of theshell shall remain uncovered.
The enemy watches until the oyster gets
hungry or wants to breathe. The in
slant the oyster opens, the star fish
floods the inside of it with his gastric
juice. the oyster dies and is eaten. 1t
is not known how long an oyster can
keep its shell closed under these circum-
stances, but Professor Rice found one
that remained so for eight days under
others. The drill is a snail-hke creature
that grows from capsule deposited on
the shell of an oyster, and when of age
it begins to bore its way into the hi
valves home. Once in he easily kills
the unsuspeclng thing, and devours it.
1t takes the drill at least two weeks to
bore through a shell.

An English Coroner,
An esteemed Iady

An esteemed lady correspondent sends
us the report of an inquest held last
week IN Sheffield, which has not unnat-
urally excited her Indignation. The
story is very sad one. A weakly lit
tie boy OF ten years, a sufferer from
bronchitis, who, from his delicacy and
atfectlonate disposition, was the pet of
his parents-working people in the
neighborhood of Sheffield - drowned
himself. A case of suicide at the age
of ten naturally excited attention, and
at the inquest the Coroner took occa-
sion to relieve his feelings by condemn
ing the parents. 1t was shown at the
inquiry, that the little fellow had COM
mitted suicide while half wild with grief
and alarm at the illness of his mother.
ooh, mamma, mamma" he had ex-
claimed, piteously, as he stood weeping
by her bedside, ''if you don't get better
L will drown myself" and few days
after he was as good as his word. Upon
this the Coroner rated the parents for
spelling their boy. "You should have
given him good hiding" said he in his
vigorous vernacular; "the boy has been
spoiled, and petted and pampered till
he did not know what to do with him
self" and so forth. Considering that
the parents had just lost their child, and
that the only cause of the poor boys
act was an agony of apprehension lest
his mother should die, there will be
many who will sympathize with our cor
respondent, who, in sending US the facts,
quietly adds, 81 should like to hold an
inquest on that Coroner. "-PaU Mall

CHATHAM COUNTY PROSPERITY
Within the last seven years we have
built two lattice bridges across Haw
River, a new court house, and a new
jail, and all these structures are SUBJ
stantial, durable and comedy, and would
reflect credit upon any people. And at
the recent meeting of the Justices of
the Peace of the county, arrangements
were made for the construction of two
other lattice bridges, one across Deep
River and one across Rocky River,
which will, in grace and strength, be
both an ornament and convenience to
the county. And let us not fail also to
say that the proposition to build two
other such bridges across Haw River
was rejected in the meeting of the JUS
tees of the Peace by a bare majority.
Surely no other than a progressive peo-
pie would thus provide such ample ar
engagements of a court house and jail for
the repression of crime, and SO many
and such elegant bridges across their
water courses to facilitate their COM
merce. And our advantages for growth
have been greatly advanced by the con-
struction of railway lines in late years.

ness activity is apparent at Gulf, and
three or four new stores are expected to
be built at Bear Creek. AT Ore Hill a

therefor having been surveyed, and sew

prices. AT Matthews X Roads, the
name of which the railway authorities,
we learn, have changed to ''Silers," a

prosperous enterprise, is anticipated.
