RAILROAD WORK AND PROJECTS.

-
The Shelby Neao Era, of the 10th instant
has the following in reference to the opera
tions of the Massachusetts and Southern
Construction Company:
In addition to the contract for grading
the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
Railroad from Shelby to Blacks, Col. p,
p. Dickinson, of New York, has secured
from the Massachusetts and Southern Con-
struction Company, the contract for all the
bridge and trestle work from Rutherfordton
to Blacks. Mr.. G. B. Streeter, of Ohio, has
been placed in charge of all the trestle work
Col. DickinsOn'S agents are expected soon
to award the contracts for the lumber re-
quired for bridges and trestles.
The work upon this portion of the line
will be pushed forward as rapidly as posi-
BILE and will probably be completed as soon
as that in the northern section. Messrs
Kirby q Cotton now have over a hundred
men working on the line just this side OF
Buffalo Creek. Mr.. w. a. Jackins, who
has received sub-contract for mile this
side of Blacks, went to work on Tuesday.
Other forces will be put to work as rapidly
as the line can be staked off. Mr.. Streeter
will put a force to work on the trestleS the
early part of next week.
SOME of the members of the field corps
of the company are now engaged in stalking
off the line for the contractors. They will
return to their camp on Thursday when a
line will be run from point below Rich
burg, where it now is, to Rock Hill, S. c.,
whence it will be continued to Yorkville.
The contractors on the upper end of the
line now have about 600 men at work and
grading is going on rapidly. At the pres,
ent rate of progress, the grading will be
completed considerably before the time
called for in the contracts.
COL r. A. Johnson, general manager ol
the Massachusetts and Southern Construction
Company, after trip to RutherfOrdton, left
Shelby for Boston on Saturday. He ex-
poets to return in about ten days.

ARE THERE HIGHWAYMEN IN YORK


ment to the effect that OH Friday the 9TH instant,
while Mr.. Howard Thomas, Tennessee horse
drover, was riding along the public road i'll the
Bullocks creek section, near the Chester ana
York line, some person in the woods near the
road. commenced shooting at him. The account
goes on to say: "Mr. Thomas was riding on
horseback and was leading another horse. Mr..
Thomas and both his horses were shot One or
the horses it is said will die, while the other is
badly wounded Mr.. Thomas received painful
wound in the hand. Mr.. Thomas is a Tennessee
horse trader and had been to Chester and sold
some horses on that day. 1t is thought that he
was wavlaid by some one who knew that ne
had money, with the intention OF killing him
and taking his money. 1t was dark and Mr..
Thomas could not see who was doing the shoot
ing. No clue has been got, as yet, to the perpe-
traitors of this tiendish act
While this is one version of the story, another

or two after the alleged occurrence, IS to the
effect that Mr.. Thomas was in a very festive
mood while on the way from Chester, and ut the
spot indicated commenced firing his pistol in
a reckless manner, wounding his horses him.

coal, oil and other forms of fuel are about to
disappear altogether in places having fac
tories Gas has become SO cheap that already
it is supplanting fuel. A single jet fairly
heats small room in cold weather. A New
York artist has produced simple design for
heating entirely by gas at a mere nominal ex-
pense. 1t is Il well-known fact that gas
throws off no smoke, SCOT or dirt. The art
ist filled braZier with chunks of colored
glass, and placed several jets beneath. The
glass soon became heated sufficiently to
thoroughly warm Il room 10x30 feet in size.
This design does away with the necessity for
chimneys, since there is no smoke the venti-
lation may be had at the windows The heat
may be raised or lowered by simply regulat-
ing the flow of gas. The colored glass gives
all the appearance of fire; there are black
pieces to represent coal, red chunks for
flames, yellowish white glass for white heat,
blue glass for blue flames, and hues for all the
remaining colors of the spectrum. Invention
already is displacing the present fuels for fur
naces and cooking ranges, and gas is doing
away with delay and such disagreeable OBJ
jects as ashes, kindling wood, etc.

ONLY HALF ALIVE.

There are hosts of men and women, who to
coin phrase, are only half alive. That is to
say they have seldom if ever any appetite, are
nervous, weak, fdgety and troubled by NUM-
berless small pains and aches, IN the presence
of vigorous, eXuberent vitality they seem
mere pigmies. Such persons are usually fond
of frequently dosing themselves, swallowing
in the course of year enough drugs to stock
any apothecarys shop OF average dimensions.
This of course defeats instead of furthering
the end in view viz, the recovery ofhealth and
vigor. Were they to seek it from an unfailing
source of vitality Hostetter Stomach Bitters
how different would be the case. Then vigor
would return to their debilitated frames. the
glow of health to their wan checks, their
uncertain gait would grow firm and elastic,
appetite that grandest OF all sauces, would
give a relish for the food, were it ever so
coarse, and refreshing sleep would crown the
tasks of the day.

A New Story of Webster.

On one occasion some Boston friends
sent him as present an enormous
sized plow to use on his place. Web
ster gave out word that on certain
day it would be christencd. The day
arrived, and the surrounding farmers
for miles came to witness the event. A
dozen teams with aristocratic occupants
came down from Boston. 1t was ex-
pected by every one that Webster would
make great speech on that occasion,
reviewing the history of farming back
to the time when Cincinnatus abdicated
the most mighty throne in the world to
cultivate turnips and cabbages in his
Roman garden. The plow was brought
out and ten yoke of splendid oxen
hitched in front. More than two hun
dred people stood around on the tiptoe
of expectation. Soon Webster made
his appearance. He had been calling
spirits from the Vastly deep, and his gait
was somewhat uncertain. Selling the
plow-handles and spreading his feet, he
yelled out to the driver in his deep, bass
voice:
"Are you all ready, Mr.. Wright"
Gall ready, Mr.. Webster" was the re-
ply, meaning of course, for his speech.
Webster Strengthened himself up by q
mighty effort and shouted:
"Then let her rip!'
The whole crowd dropped to the
ground and roared with laughter, while
Webster with his big pillow proceeded to
rip up the soil.

A vEToING PRESIDENT.
President Cleveland continues to pile up
the vetOes on Congress. Mr.. Prudden, one
or the secretaries of the White House, who
carries the nominations TO the Capitol,
takes also the veto messages. IL Is getting
to be such q regular business that the Pres
ident Is having them printed nowadays
Prudden brings handful OF printed slips
with him when he goes to the Senate with
the nominations and distributes them to
Representatives and others as they may de-
sire. Mr.. Cleveland has now made q larger
number of vetoes than Washington,
Adams, Jefferson, Monroe, John q; Adams,
Van Buren,, Harrison, Polk, Taylor, Fill
more, Buchanan and Lincoln made alto
gether. Only two Presidents ever made as
many in their full term of Office as he has
made within the past six months. The
largest number of vetoes made by any
President Is twenty-eght by Grant during
his eight years, the next largest, seventeen,
by Johnson during his term OF almost four
years.
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.
A statement recently issued by the Treas
ury Department shows that the revenues
for last year of the Government were at
the rate of $56S per head OF population,
and the expenditures at the rate OF $4.57
per capita. This is quite a change in the
last quarter of century, for in 1860 the per
capita income was only SITS, aud eXpendi-
lures $2.01. The revenue has been as low
as 06 cents for each inhabitant, as was the
case in 1S4l, and under the stimulus Of war
taxes has risen to $15.73 per head, as it did
in 1866. The difference between the maxi
mum and minimum annual expenditure for
other purposes than the payment of the
principal OF the public debt have been even
greater. In 1915 we spent $1.1 for each
person then in the country, and in 1865
S37.34 cents. For the last twelve years the
net revenue, eleven-tweltths of which
comes from the product OF taxation, has
ranged from a maximum of S70.64 in 1882,
to maximum of $5.42 in 1878. During the
same period expenditures have varied from
SIH in 1874 to "a. 80 in 1884.

Henry M. Stanley OH Crocodiles.

You see man bathing in the river,
he is standing near the shore laughing
at you, perhaps; laughing in the keen
enjoyment of the bath. Suddenly he
fails over and you see him no more.
A crocodile has approached unseen,
has struck him blow with its tail that
knocks him over and he is instantly
seized and carried Off

ger. There is nothing in sight to stir
u tremor of apprehension; but there, in
deep water, under the shadow of that
rock, or hidden beneath the shadow of
the trees yonder is hugh crocodile; it
has spotted the swimmer, and is watch
ing its opportunity; the swimmer APP
proaches; he is within striking dis
lance; stealthily, silently, unperceived,
the creature makes for its prey; the
man knows nothing until he is seized by
the leg and dragged under, and he
knows no more. A bubble or two indi-
Gates the places where he has gone
down, and that is all.
For n dread, unspeakable horror,
there is no death by wild beasts like
that of being killed by a crocodile. 1t
is worse than being killed by shark;
for the shark must come to surface and
let itself be seen, whereas the crocodile
strikes unseen and from below.-Ths

Let me tell you how jay Gould looks
as he sits there undergoing the cxami-
nation, SAYS Carp in the Cleveland
Leader. He has just testified that he is
40 years of age. and he is sitting with a
tired look on his face answering the
questions put to him. He talks freely,
and his tones are as soft as those of
woman. There is nothing ostentatious
about him, and he seems to be more on
persuasive than the aggressive order
His little form is dressed in well-cut
business suit, and he sits slightly bent
in his chair. One of his small white
hands rests upon the table and he turns
pencil over and over rs the talk goes
on. note that his hand is of good
size, well filed out. and very white and
soft Still it trembles with nervousness,
and the whole man seems to be bun
die of skin, bone. brain, and nerve.
His other hand lies upon his knee, and
| see that one of his legs is crossed
over the other, and chat he wears u
buttoned shoe with good broad sole.
He gestures nervously as he talks. Now
and then rubs his hands together, and
now shakes his finger at the examiners.
He smiles, too, and his black eyes light
up, and he looks cordial and friendly.
Judge he has some sense of humor,
and | know from the wrinkles in his
brow at times that his nature is fine
enough to feel almost any kind of q
sensation.
His face is a curious one, but not on
first view striking. 1t is long, dark,
and sallow in complexion. The fore
head is not very high nor broad, but it
is we'll filled out and the skin is drawn
tightly over it. Just above the fore
head badness is beginning to creep in,
and through the thin black hair you
note that there is decided rise rs far
back as the crown-a rise which goes
up like plane and with no bumps.
Mr.. Gould's hair is black, with here
and there glimpse of silver 1t is
rather thick at the sides and around the
back of the head, and he keeps it well
cut. His face is covered with a full
beard of black whiskers, into which the
gray is also creeping. These whiskers
are not long and are curly and glossy.
Gould's eyes are full of expression, and
they laugh and flash upon occasions.
His nose is inclined to the Roman and
the nostrils are very large and sensitive.
His ears are large, and he combs his
hair behind them. He was not at all
forward in the examination and an
swered readily tho questions put to him.
He had couple of detectives near him,
and his lawyer was at his back to give
him advice as occasion demanded. He
exhibited no fear, and read the denun-
citation of the strikers with display OF
some feeling.
