Geo. Marshall, of the Southern
Bank, worked On a column of figures
for hours last night. The sum total
Of the column should have read &c.
900. Instead of that amount, how
ever, it showed a total Of Sc, 1890, or
5000 more than he could account for.
The vexatious mistake caused George
to scratch his head vigorously, and
wonder where the excess was in the
column OF agonizing figures. While
going carefully over the columns for
the twentieth time, he discovered the
error, and it was one that would
hardly occur once in a thousand
years. One of his eye lashes had
fallen on the balance sheet, and adj
hered to the first 0 in the line of fig
ures of $1,000, making q perfect fig
ure Q of the nought, and increasing
the whole amount to 5000, instead
of $1,000. In going down the col
umn the twentieth time, he brushed
the eye lash away with his forefinger.
Hereafter George says he will &c
over his balance sheet with a street
scraper before he begins TO add the
columns.

street. b New Yeek.
NEW YoRK, July 1A--A plumber sxca-
waiting to-day in Aagked area way IN the
rear Of No. 81 Rose street found, eighteen
inches beneath the surface, the skeleton Of
. man, who, in life, must have been at
least seven feet high. The head and the
toes were together, showing that the body
must have been doubled up before burial.
There was not button or other sign Of
clothing about the remains. The skels-
ton was in good condition, but
had evidently been buried twenty
FIVE or thirty years. The.police investiga-
tion shows that during the war the house
at No. 81 Rose street bore hard reputa-
ton, and old neighbors were found to-day
who remembered that thirty years ago .
man who lived there disappeared one
night, and that next day his clothes were
found on the river bank, and 1t was given
out that he had committed suicide. There
has never been any graveyard in the vicin-
ity, and nothing can account for this
skeleton, except the theory that II is that
Of some man who was murdered years ago
and the crime concealed by the burial Of
the remains beneath the hagstone.

AQCIDNT TQA CIRfpS
killing twenty-five Valuable Aorses-Twe
Attaches Killed and several Wounded.

PORTLAND, Me-, July 18-Jnformation is
received here of Q fatal accident to Fors-
paugh's circus train on the Maine Central
Railroad at vassalboro, some fifty miles
north Of here. The storm having inter
fered with the wires, particulars are
meager. The train, consisting OF some
twenty cars, was en- route for this city, and
was running at lively rate Of speed
when the cars jumped the track, due to
. defective ran, and plunged down the
ffty-foot embankment toward the Kenne-
bee river. Three of the cars contained
animals, and there was passenger caboose
containing q number Of employees. The
cars rolled over and over several times,
and were smashed into splinters. Twenty
Ave valuable trick horses were killed out
right and q number of others badly injur-
ed, . number of which will have to be
killed. The caboose was occupied BY
ten men, several Of whom escaped by
jumping when the car left the track, being
saved from injury by the soft earth. The
others were carried down the bank and
were caught in the wreck. Their COM
panions extricated several badly IL not
fatally injured. Two men, whose names
are not given, are buried beneath tho
wreck in the river, aud were doubtless
killed instantly. A wrecking train has
left for the scene.

Flood in North Carolina.

RALEIGH, N. G., July l4.-Heavy and con.
tinuous rains throughout the State have
caused the greatest flood since 1867. Farm
ers on the Cape Fear river have lost all
their crops, and many have been forced to
leave their homes ON account Of the food.
Many turpentine distilleries are under
water, and stores and dwellings are de.
serted. All the lowland crops in the State
are injured, and only In q few sections on
stiff uplands is there much prospect Of any
sort Of crops. The damage in many sec
tions is well nigh total, and in others from
one-uuHrter to one-hAlf.

The Extradition Treaty.

LONDON, July 15.-In spite Of denials, it
is positively asserted that the draft Of an
extradition treaty between Great Britain
and the United States has been signed by
Lord Rosebery and Minister Phelps, and is
now in Washington. The prospect Of
really effective extradition treaty causes
intense qualification here Interviews with
Scotland Yard officials show consensus
of opinion, that the old treaty is almost
useless as regarded, many of the worst
offenses not counting. A political veteran
detective remarked il the treaty should be
ratified, several well-known faces in New
York and London would soon be missing.

Crops DESTROYED by Storm.

PITTSBURGH, July IA severe electrical
and wind storm, accompanied by rain and
hail, visited this section early this morn
ing, doing great damage to fruits and
cereals. The storm broke over the city
about 3 O'Clock, and continued without
abatement for three hours, and during that
time the rainfall was one and q half inch.
Along the Ohio river between Steubenville
and this city, the storm was particularly
severe, and the effects of it are shown by
ruined fields of wheat, oats, corn, grass
and fruits. Small houses were lifted from
their foundations, buildings unroofed,
fences and trees blown down, and out
houses torn to pieces. In the city cellars
and Easements were inundated, but no
serious damage resulted. No casualties
were reported.

ATLANTA, Ga. July 13.-The convicts at
the Dade Coal Mines, are in state of open
insurrection. About $50 have intrenched
themselves in q building, and refuse to
come out. The Governor has ordered the
Gate City Guards aud an artillery COM
pany from Rome to the mines. The con-
victs say they will die before they
will surrender. Penitentiary keeper
Towers telegraphed Governor Mcdaniel
that he had a strong enough force Of
guards to quell any revolt, and the Gov
ernor revoke the order for the Gate City
guards to go to the scene. They are held
in readiness. however, with special train
waiting. Towers telegraphed the Governor
that it would be necessary to kill three or
four Of the leaders, or starve all to subor-
dination. The Governor orders the latter
course, and the convicts say they will all
starve to death rather than return to work.
They have gone one day without food or
drink, and seem more determined than
ever. Many Of them are under life or other
long-term sentences.

A New Electrical Invention,

"A NeW NsoCtrlCeI AuvcUthOUsl
NEW York, July 15.--An exhibition Of an
electric hand lamp, brought from Paris by
President Purroy, Of the Fire Department,
took place to-day in Firemen's Hall. The
lamp is about the size Of an ordinary small
lantern, weighs about five pounds, gives .
light equal to about seven-candle power,
and will burn for two hours. The lamp Is
90 constructed that when It rests on the
ground the battery does not work, but
when 1t is raised by the handle the light
flashes out brightly. It is claimed that the
lamp will burn two hours without change
in the battery. Mr.. Purroy thinks that the
lamp can be improved by an arrangement
to keep it lighted when it rests on the
ground. Chief Shay will carry 1t about to
fires for while and give 1t q practical test,
and IL 1t works well other lamps will be
purchased. 0-
