THE WISWELL MILL.
1t Puts Through One Ton Per Hour,

Feeding.

1t Puts Through One Ton Per Hour,
but An Accident Is Caused by Over.
Feeding.
E. B. Witherell came in from the
Donovan mine yesterday and returned
there last evening, but will come in
again tomorrow and leave for Colo
rodo on the afternoon train.
The Wiswell mill was in good con-
dition, and after being watched for
81 hours, ascertained to have put
through 1913 shovelfuls of ore averag-
ing 10 pounds each-or just about
one ton per hour. The mill was then
left in charge of the employees, and
Mr.. Witherell went to bed at the
mine boarding house, leaving positive
Instructions to never, under any con-
sideration, alloy over three inches of
pulp t, lie under the grinding wheels
at any time. Yesterday morning,
just as he got within 100 yards of the
mill, the steam was shut off, and he
surmised that something must be
wrong. Going into the mill he meas.
ured the pulp, and found it over II
inches thick, by the rule! With such
thickness of pulp the. wheels refused
to grind, and something had to give
way. Something did. 1t was the
friction clutch Another was ordered
from Boston by express, and will be
here in a few days.
Mr.. Witherell says he is no Longer
needed here,as the mill works smooth
er than it ever did before, and will
proper care as to feeling will work
at least one ton per hour Last Thurs
day Judge Hunter ami a party o
gentlemen were at the mill to see i
work, and Judge Hunter was remark
ably we'll pleased, and exclaimed
"That's more like it! 1t does no
make any noise. The other wen

An Atlanta Mystery.

: ATLANTA, August 6.-In 1872 drum.
mer from New York named Yervell
came to Atlanta and stopped at the Old
American Hotel. he stayed here about
q week and did q large business and be.
came very popular with those with whom
he was thrown in contact. One evening
he suddenly disappeared from the hotel,
leaving his baggage in. his room. He has
never been heard from since. Friends
from New York telegraphed inquiring as
to his whereabouts, but no news concern.
ing him could be obtained. His relatives
came on aud employed detectives to hunt
him, ;but all aearch: proved OF no avail,
and from that day to this he has never
been heard from. To-day while work
men were making some excavations in
the front yard of . Collins street bagnio
they found under the front steps the
skeleton Of q man which had evidently
been buried for q number of year,. The
house has been in its present use for
many years, and about three months sgo
its late propristress gave it up, moving
elsewhere. Another woman leased it 9
few days ago, andit was preparatory to
moving that the excavations Leading to
the discovery wore msde in theyard. AS
soon as the plumbers discovered the
skeleton they notified the chief of police,
and an investigation was at once begun.
Detectives went to work, and, while
nothing definite is known, they express
themselves az reasonably certain that
they have solved the mystery Of Yer:
vell's sudden departure from Atlanta.
They refuse. 10 give their clues, but
affirm that they are right iD saying thst
the skeleton is that of Yeryell.-Dis.

Conyicts for Public Roads.

The suggestion made in these columns
some months ago, says the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record, tha! the Southern
States employ their convicts in construct.
ing good roads seems to be meeting with
considerable favor. The employment of
.conyicts in work that brings them into
competition with free labor is becoming
80 unpopular that the indications point
to the necessity of its djscontinusnce in
the near future. Against their working
on tho public roads no objections could
be made. As it is now, the roads in
most of the States are in very bad condi-
ton, especially in wet weather, entailing
heavy losses upon all classes, and espe-
cially upon farmers, causing depreciation
in the value of property and keeping out
immigration. The law requiring every
man to work so many days year-or
pay for substitute-upon the roads is
unjust, as the rich man, who has dozen
teams using the roads, contributes no
more to keeping them in good condition
than the poor man who owns not even a
single horse. Moreover, this system has
failed to give the South good roads, and
good roads are almost as essential to the
prosperity of the farmers as railroads.
The annual drain upon Southern farmers
on account of bad roads is far greater
than is generally supposed, and their in
fuence in checking immigration is very
serious. BY using their convicls in the
construction OF good roads under the
management of men who understand
road making, the Southern States could
abolish their unpopular road laws and at
the same time gradually build up q sys-
tenn of the very best roads, thus improv.
ing the value of property, inviting in'-
migration, lessening the burdens of farm.
ers and all others, and in general add
largely to their own prosperity.

Agricultural Education.

Consul Wamer's letter to the Neacs and
Courier, on the subject of agricultural
experimental stations in Germany, sug-
gests an idea that might be carried into
practical operation 10 this State to ad-
vantage. Let the County School Com
missioner and the Board of County Com
missioners in each County cooperate 10
make the County poor farm an educa-
tional, institution for the benefit of the
youth of the State in the matter of i'm
proved agriculture. Let the County
Farm be made model farm, and extend
standing invitation to the public to
visit and inspect it, and if possible locate
q free public school in the immediate
neighborhood, and arrange to have the
pupils instructed by the Superintendent
Of the farm as part of the school curri-
culum. Of course the Superintendents
would have to be selected with reference
to their ability TO conducta model farm
and to teach agriculture, as we'll as their
fitness to take care of paupers, and some
additional expense would probably have
to be incurred. But this plan would
carry its benefits to much larger mum.
Der Of people than could be reached in
any other way 1t is only comparative
few who can afford to leave home to
attend a distant college and pay board
and other expenses even where the
tuition is free. The expense would be in
some measure counterbalanced by the in.
creased productiveness of the County
Farms, and the general management of
the poor houses would be improved.
Here is chance for some enterprising
School Commissioner to inatitute sys-
tenn, on a very limited scale at first, Of
course, but which could be developed
hereafter into more perfect proportions
and be of widespread and ever.increasing
usefulness.-C Columbia Record.

he will have to serve 100 days longer.

DENVER. August 9.-An Ell Paso spe.
cial says: The excitement over. the Cut.
ting embroglio is mnch intensified to day.
"a passenger on the train from chihuahua
City this morning said that it is known
positively that Governor Maceyra has
ordered the Paso Dal Norte authorities,
in case of an attack from Texas, to cut
off the prisoners head and deliver it to
the Americans. Eight hundred Mexican
troops are said to have left Lagos for Paso
del Norte on Sunday night.
It is asserted that second demand has
been made and that the American officials
have been notified to leave Mexico.
Large crowds gathered at every street cor
ner. The arrival of Company +, of the
10th United States Cavalry, at Fort Bliss,
which was assigned here two months ago,
has caused rumor to the effect that
eight carloads of United States soldiers
are on, the spot. The bad effects Of these
difficulties upon business are becoming
very apparent and everything looks like
war. from q Mexican standpoint.
e a report was circulated to the effect
that Consul Brigham had confirmed the
statement that q second demand for Cut.
ting,s release had been made by the Unit.
ed States Government, and the people
went Wild with delight. Brigham, how.
ever, says that he was misunderstood; ;
that he expects such demand at any
moment, but does not know that it has
yet been made. Cutting has been called
before the Court in Paso del Norte, and
Consul Brigham is in attendance.

Mi. Tnden's Last Days.

IA reporter of the New York Star Wis.
tied Mr. Tillen a few days before his
death, and giyea sad picture of the
great mans physical condition. He
said: sMr. .1ilden usually wakes in the
morning about half.past four. An elec:
trio bell at the head of his bed summons
his valet, who gives his medicine, which
he takes as regularly as he does his food.
Afterward be lies still until about eight
o'clock, seemingly doing: though when
his valet, thinking him asleep, approach.
es the bed, he finds his bright eyes open
and watching him. If he feels we'll he is
assisted dowL to nine o'clock breakfast,
which usually conslsts of some rich
BROTH. Owing to an attack Of paralysis,
Mr.. Tilden iB unable to close his lips,
and his mouth is constantly open. His
right hand, from the same cause, is en-
-tirely useless, trembling all the time.
He has not even the power to- raise it to
his mouth. His left hand>is but slightly
affected By the stroke OF paralysis, and
he has the partial use of it. In eating,
he uses his left hand to hold up his lower
jaw. His faithful companion, Miss Anna
Gould, who III the sister of the wife Of
Mr.. Henry Tilden, places to his mouth
every particle of food that he eats. She
generally puts it in biz mouth with a
spoon, and be is enabled to swallow it by
raising his loNer jaw with his left hand
and putting his head back" Notwith-
standing this condition, however, the
Star says editorially: "The marvellous
vitality and strength of Mr.. Tilden's in.
tellect is shown by the interest he still
manifests in public matters and BY the
careful control he exercises over the do.
mestic economy that now taxes what is
left of his former strength"

Two little girls at Chappaqua, N.
2 mazda . aenaatinn there dav or two

Two little girls at Chappsqua, N.
r, made sensation there day or two
ago which aroused the whole village and
started the populace into the streets.
The girls are only IL years old. One is
the daughter Of Robert Mauger, and the
other Of city boarder named Yeaman.
The children, 1t is stated, went to their
ro6ms, where each wrote q letter sad.
dressed TO their parents, informing them
that they were tired Of living at home
and were going to run away. The let
tera were left on a stand in their room.
Then the egirls went out into the yard, and
climbed tree to watch the effect of
their plot. It was about two hours after
this event that the letters we're found
and read. The effect was like shock
of electricity. The house was immedi-
ately transformed into d scene of frenzy.
The neighbors were notified, and search
was made ard inquirers instituted, but
nobody had seen either of the runaways.
While the excited neighbors were dis
cnssing the best means of following up
the search, one of them heard sup.
pressed giggle from the tree top, and the
mischievous girls were discovered.
