4 Distressing Accident,

Last Friday afternoon, July 17th, Mrs
j. 3. Curtis aud Mrs. Geo. Smith, of Ra-
VIENNA, started with their own convey
ance to drive to 1'rumbull county for u
visit among relatives. About half-past
five they stopped under shade tree near
Greenleafs corners, i'll CharlestOwn, to
rest and partake of lunch they carried
with them. While resting they thought
they would remove the bit from the
horses mouth and allow it to crop the
grass by the wayside. Mrs. Smith
alghted for that purpose and the horse,
which had always been considered very
gentle and was a great pet, no sooner felt
/ itself free than it made a dash into the
road, dragging Mrs. Smith under the car
riage, the wheels passing over her. 1t
ran ut II fearfully rapid rate to the cross
| roads, and i'll turning the corner came in
collision with aguide post and upset the
carriage Mrs. Curtis was thrown with
great force upon the hard earthen bank
at the road side, alighting upon her head
and shoulder. The horse after runninga
few rods farther stopped of its own ac-
cord. Mrs. Curtis was removed to the
residence of Mr.. Roush near by, i'll an
unconscious state. Drs. Sloan and Leon
ard were sent for and, upon examination,
decided that her injuries We're concussiOn
of the BRAIN and spine, and that she was
i'll very critical condition. She lies ip a
semi-unconscOus state most of the time,
but Oh Monday revived sufficiently to
recognize her friends. Monday night |
Mrs. Curtis symptoms were better. Mrs.
Smith was badly bruised but not other
wise injured.
LATER.-Tuesday P. M.-There is no |
PEI ceptible change in Mrs. Curtis cOndi-
ton. Grave doubts of her recovery are |
entertained.

Some Pretty Specimens from the Pick

ems County Quarries.
United States District Attorney Darnell
has IN his Office some of the prettiest
specimens of marble ever taken out Of the
ground. The pieces came from the
quarries in Pickens county, this State.
He has three varieties-pure white,
cherry colored, and a white and black
varied specimen. The quarries have
only been open about year, but the In
dustry is fast building up. The marble
IS Of crystalline formation, and has
different appearance from Italian and
New England stone. 1t is susceptible
Of beautiful polish, and fairly glistens.
The reddish variety is very pretty, the
color being a delicate pink. The deposit
is practically ineXhau stible. The white
bed has been bored so feet, and how much
thicker il is is not known. 1t is being de-
veloped by Chicago and Eastern capital,
and In a short time will add greatly to the
wealth of the State.
The beds are about As miles from
Marietta and miles from the Ma
rietta and North Georgia railroad.

quarries. A popularity about the
beds is that they are
found not cropping out on
the steep mountain sides but in loan fields
covered with or 10 feet Of soil. In some
places the mountain streams have washed
the earth from the marble and now run
over the solid stone for hundreds Of feet.
Within 300 yards OF the quarries of pure
white stone is a bed of the pink variety
About $50 cubic feet are taken out daily,
but the output will gradually be IN
creased. 1t is taken out without blasting.
steam saws, gangdrils, and wedges being
used instead. A large part otitis cut and
manufactured on the spot. Mantlepieces,
tops for tables and other furniture, and
tiles are thechief articles made from it,
and the owners say that they have more
orders than they can fill. The existence
OF the marble in that section has long
been known to the people Of the county.
The first stone taken out was by an Irish
man named FUzsimmons thirty years
ago. He seems to have been a
marble cutter, for ne gained quite local
reputation for his work
Other marble quarries in the United
States are in New England, New York,
Pennsylvania, Maryland and OHIO. In
1870 there were twenty-five quarries in
operation in this country.
