STORY OF A wAMpuM BELT.
How COLONEL Ellicott Killed. q Turkey and
Saved His Life. -
[COlumbus, (Ga.) special.l ]

a.AA
columbus, (Ga.) special.l
There Is In possession Of the descend
ants Of Colonel Andrew Ellicott, Of this
county, wampum belt Of rare beauty
and value, which is preserved as me-
mento of the shrewdness and skill 'of the
great surveyor, by which he not only be-
came the possessor of the belt, but saved
his life and the lives of many others. Di-
rectly after the purchase Of louisiana
from the French Government Colonel ELL
colt was sent by the United States Gov
ernment to survey the boundary line be-
tween the new territory and Mexico, which
then included Texas. He was accompan-
led by large corps of engineers and 100
Government troops. They had penetrated
into the interior of the then wild
country, when one day Ellicott and
his engineer corps found themselves
surrounded by large body Of Indians,
by whom the entire party was captured.
Colonel Elllcott had half-breed inter-
prefer, who found out that IL was the
intention Of the Indians to mas sacre the
white captives, and he informed the
chiefs that his master was great medi-
cine-man, who could do many wonderful
things, among them being his ability to
kill a man or any living thing at a dis
tance Of 15O yards, while the object he
shot at was hidden from view behind Ia
tree, and he would not aim at II or shoot
through the tree. The chiefs said that II
the interpreters master would kill a wild
turkey in that way, they would give the
whole party their liberty. Colonel Eli
colt was not good rihe-shot, but he was
able to do many clever things In shooting
by means Of mechanical tricks. When
the decision of the chief was given they
procured the turkey and told Colonel Ell
licott to exhibit bis power. Confident
OF his success he drove stake In
the ground a few feet beyond the
trunk of the tree, with an axe. Tying the
turkey firmly to the stake so it could not
move from Its position, he walked In an
oblique direction to one side Of the tree
and struck the blade Of his axe, appar
emily with no design, into the ground and
then made q mark on 1t with chalk.
Pacing of 15) yards, he aimed at the
chalk-mark and fred. The Indian chief
ran behind the tree and brought the tur.
key out dead, the ball glancing from the
axe, having passed clear through It's body,
with such nicety had Colonel Elliott cal
culated the angles. The principal CHIEF
was SO delighted with the feat that he un.
clasped the magnificent belt he wore and
fastened 1t about Colonel Ellicott's waist.
The surveyors were given their liberty
and the belt worn by the Colonel insured
him and his party safety and reverence
during the mainder of the survey.

GALVANIZED ICE CREAM.
Forty three Persons Poisoned at Church

. lNoIWhih kOOnn'J Speclhl.I
Rowayton, or Eve Mile River, as It is
more familiarity known, is village OF not
more than 200 inhabitants, about four
miles from here. The inhabitants are
chiefly oystermen and their families.
There is oDs church In the place. A fund
was needed to make some necessary re-
pairs on the church edifce, and, to raise
1t, 1t was decided to hold a church social BILE
and supper. The refreshments were to be
provided by the members of the society.
Saturday night last was the timo set for
the supper, and among the eatables
furnished was quantity Of home-
ice cream, donated by Mrs. Tutlle. This
article was In great demand, all present
partaking of IL. Soon after the sociable
was ended those who had eaten Of the
cream were taken sudden III. Physicians
were hastily summoned, and by prompt
measures succeeded In relieving the
patients. The symptoms in all the cases
were those of corrosive poisoning.
DR.. @. @. Bohannan, Of South Norwalk,
made an investigation. He found that in
making the cream Mrs. Tuttle had used q
tin freezer having q galvanized bottom.
The doctors opinion is that the gtIvanic
action Of the metals, caused probably by
the "churning" Of the cream in the pro-
cess Of freezing, developed corrosive
poison which permeated 1.-THE contents Of
the can.
Forty-ihree persons were poisoned In
all None have died, though the result
would have been fatal In many cases but
for the prompt arrival Of the physicians.
Many Of the patients are still confined to
their beds.

Mrs. Jasper lived out in the country
away from frivolity and fashion. On one
occasion, when her husband was going to
the city to sell carload of potatoes, she
admonished him to be sure and remember
what the styles were, so he could tell her.
When he came home she was all anxiety
to know the latest. She piled him with
questions, and finally reached the subject
nearest her heart.
"Anddld you notice the styles, Jere-
miahp she asked.
"You bet did, Sairey.n
"Was they great?"
"They were powerful, Sairey."
"They was, Sairey Jasper, / tell you.

The New York legislature is consider

The New York legislature is consider
ing bill restricting the height of dwell
ing houses i'll New York city. It Itprovides
that no dwelling house hereafter erected
in that city and intended for the use OF
more than one family shall be more than
70 feet high if on a street or avenue not
more than 60 feet wide, or more than
80 feet high if on street or avenue ex-
ceeding 60 feet in width. These pro.
visions are more liberal than those that
govern the erection of dwelling houses
in European cities. In Paris the height
of such houses is determined by the
width of the street. On streets not
more than 25 feet and Z inches wide the
dwellings, must not be more than Sc
feet and 4 inches high, and upon the
widest streets the limit is IS feet and Z
inches. In London, Vienna, and Ber-
lin the height of buildings has been reg.
ulated by law for many years. Expert
ence has shown that such laws are re-

important change that has occurred as yeto

voluntary seems to be strictly true. It has for
sometime been known to h few that he wished
to retire from his responsible position to accept
positions in connection with fnancinl insti-
tutions which had been rendered him. 1t is
known that neither the president nor secre-
tary Manning expected or desired to displace

which the treasurer is the custodian. The
last count made was in 1883, when Mr. Wyman

expert counters and weighers of coin were en-
gagged in the process for between five and six
weeks. With the same force it will take con-
siderably longer now, as the amount on hand,

than then. In making such transfer the paper
currency is all counted, bill by bill, while the

to interest. all the settlers on both the

the organization, and to charge each mem
ber IS, which shall constitute fund
for carrying on the above investigation, and
otherwise protecting the interests of the set
tiers. 1t is not intended to resist the authority
of the government but to lay tho whole mat
ter before the president and his cabinet in such
way that those having authority will see the
great injustice which the order wlthdra wing
the land imposes on innocent families. If the
president cannot he induced to rescind his or-
der the association will seek to have
the time for removal extended until
the meeting of congress, or at: least
settlers can have the use of tleit. land
crops this season. If these measures fail the
association will endeavor, thro ugh it's Wash

burse the settlers for the expenditure made in
good faith under the order Of President Ar

they will exhaust every means in their power
to continue peaceable POSSESSION of their
land
