CRUSHED UNDEn THE WHEELS.
A Central Railroad Train Hand seri-
onalV IL mt FAfnny Injured.

oubtNs II not EALAliE AHJ
Last night, at about G:l5 O'Clock, a
negro named Wallace jenkins received
serious, if not fatal, injuries while walk
on the Central Railroad track about half a
mile west OF the passenger depot.
II appears that jenkins and three other
negroes were employed on the construc-
ton train. They LETT the train near the
DoOley switch and started 10 walk into the
city. Their attention was attracted by the
whistle of the pusher engine, ana by a
freight train which was approaching the
switch, but failed 10 notice "Shoo Fly"
which was coming towards them from
the city on the main track, until IL WAS
within "a few yards of where they were
standing. Realizing the danger OF
their situation the four men in
their haete to leap from the track jos
tied against each other and jenkins was
thrown down between the rails. He sue
ceeded in regainng his feet, however, as
the othors escaped from their perilous sit
uatiOn, but not in time to make his
own escape. He WAS in the act Of making
the leap which would have saved him
when be was struck by the locomotive OF
the outgoing train. The force of the blow
threw him up nearly to the top of the
smOkestack. He fell back with his body
outside the track and with one leg across
the rail. The leg below the knee was
crushed under the wheels of the locomo-
tive and the cars, which passed over il
before the train was brought to q stand
still.
The injured man was found TO be seri-
0usly injured about the shoulders and
head, and was bleeding profusely from his
nose and mouth. His lex was almost com
pletely severed above the ankle. He was
unconscious and apparently gasping tor
breath. DIR. T. Is. Chisholm was promptly
summoned, and gave the unfortunate man
the necessary surgical attention. He WAS
then placed in q wagon and sent TO the
Georgia lnfrmary.

An Iceberg Full of Seals.

Here is a story of the sea told by
the captain of a Norwegian barque who
came across an iceberg full of SEALS
The first iceberg was observed when
in longitude so deg. north and lati-
tude As deg. east. The weather had
been very foggy and the vessel was
moving along with short canvas, when
suddenly mountain of ice doomed up,
and the barque drifted toward it. The
berg was as clear as crystal, with the
exception of a great dark mass in the
center, while from a cleft in the side
a column of vapor arose. When the
vessel approached to within reason
able distance of the berg, it was dis
covered that tho black mass i'll the CEN
ter consisted of live seals. Without
exaggeration (says the captain) there
were between two and three hundred
seals there. The berg was evidently
hollow, and ''the water we could see
the seals plunge into now and then
| was the ocean. The wall of ice that
separated us from the seals appeared
| to be but few feet thick, and 1 think
| It has Onlv been there a short time.
Very likely 1t formed after the seals
were there, for it is not probable that
/ they would have come up in such
numbers from below and voluntarily
made a place like that their home.
They 10 doubt gathered there from
different parts of a big foe, and have
been floating. around for months un-
able to change their quarters At
| ter sailing around the berg without
| finding an opening, they hove the bark
tO and laid off the ICEBERG as lOnp as
they dared, hoping it would split or
crack in some manner to give them Il
chance to get at the seals, but moth
happened. ard they had to sail away

Protecting Hay LII Stacks.

Not having sufficient barn room for

cd and racked down. The boards are
put on the same as clapboards in siding
house, except that you must begin
at the top to put them on. Lay one
board in the center of the top length
wise of the stack, place three pieces OF
common plain fence wire crosswise OF
the board eighteen inches from each
end, and at the middle), and drive L
staple at each edge of the board to
hold the wire securely; then shove the
edge of the second board about in
inch or an inch and a half under the
first, bring the wire down and drive
two more staples, letting the top one,
next the edge of the first board, bend
the wire down and form nearly right
angle over the edge of the first board
Continue IN this way, putting two
or three boards first on one side and
then on the other Oest you draw the
top to one side) until you have enough
to carry the water down nearly to the
'bulge" of the stack. If it is well
built and thoroughly ra6ed, six or.
seven boards on each side will secure
ly cover a six or seven ton stack,
The end wires should reach below the
s'bulge," and be weighted, if the stacks
are exposed to the wind. With the
bottom properly protected by raising
from the ground on rails, there need
be no appreciable loss. L use sixteen
feet dimension boards, free from
knots, and see no reason why they
should not last at least ten years;
have had the same ones in use five
years, and except where one OCCASION
ally splits IN seasoning, or is broken
by careless handling, they are as good
as ever. Two men will put on the top
in an hour, and one man take it off
and pile up the boards in fifteen min
