He Fled for Safety.

SpARTASBURa, October 3O.-Fayette
Stewart, the white man who was accused
Of killing Bert Coan, at corn shucklng
near Reidyille, las come in OF his own
accord and surrendered to the sheriff.
He is now in Jail. The reason why the
deputy sheriff could not find him IS that
he was hiding out from home. Some Ct
the killed negro's friends made such a
demonstration, believing that Stewart
had done the deed, that he considered it
prudent to leave home. A crowd OF
negroes, the night after the killing, or
not many nights after, went to Stewart's s
house in search of him. 1t was evident
that they had learned their lesson Well
from the white people, their neighbors,
and friends, who have shown great
readiness, on two or three occasions, to
take the criminal law into their own
hands. After searching Stewart's house,
they went to the house OF Tom Lynch
and demanded of him Stewards where
abouts. Lynch knew nothing OF him
and could give no information. They
behaved in such riotous manner that
-Lynch's wife was terribly frightened,
and her mind has been somewhat shaken
by the event. Five of the negroes III
the crowd were identified and warrants
were issued for their arrest. Monday
was appointed for a preliminary hearing
before Trial Justice Harrison, of Reid
Vile. As result OF the investigation,
one of the negroes was committed to
jail last night.

4 New York Girl who Is clear Grit.

Miss Cornelia Morley, of Brooklyn, N.
Y, was the heroine of quite an exciting
episode at Bieman's hotel last Saturday
night. AoCut o'clock Miss Morley, on
going into her room, saw what appeared
to be the feet of man lying under her
bed, the body being entirely hid from
view. She quietly closed the door and
took her stand just outside to await de-
velopments. In few minutes the thief,
burly negro Of about fifteen years,
attempted to make his escape through
the door, but just as he was making his
exit, this bravest of women seized him
by the collar and led him down to the
Office in the hotel and delivered him up
to Mr.. Bieman. He confessed his theft
and delivered up all tho stolen property,
consisting Of silver watch and other
'yaluables. He was then taken in hind
by several men, carried down to the
livery stables and good old fashioned
whipping was administered, after which
he went his way. HIS name was Stepney
Green.-Keowee Courier.

Girls Who Smoke.

Cigarette smoking is increasing very
rapidly among young women, and not
among young women alone, but among
married women as well, who move in
good society. Baltimore is no exception
to the rule, says the Herald of that city.
An estimable lady, who resides in a
fashionable residence on Charles street,
told the writer confdentially the other
day that she had been so addicted to the
use of nicotine that she did not enjoy q
meal any longer unless it wss followed
by cigarette in her boudoir.
Young ladies usually purchase their
cigarettes through their maids, who are
in honor bound not to disclose to the
tobacconist the name of the person for
whom they are making their purchases.
But maids will be garrulous and names
are often revealed, so that cigar dealer
on a well.known street is able to point
out to his friends girl after girl who in
dulges in the seductive cigarette in the
secrecy Of her private apartments, un-
known to grandmanma or doting papa
There are cases, too, not infrequent
either, where the fair sex are supplied
with their cigarettes by wicked young
dudes, who are told that the only pur-
pose in view in the minds of the dear
creatures is to make collection cf
cigarettes, binding each with dainty
piece of ribbon. and atfixing to it card
marked with the uame of the giver.
When the latter becomes bore his
cigarette is smoked by the fair recipient,
who, with mild superstition, thinks that
his attentions, already wearisome, will
thereby become less frequent.-Chicago
Herald.

LIFE SAVED BY FANNING.
What Brought Back to Health Two iel-

tFrom the Jacksonville (Fla.) Metropolis,)

ga strange thing occurred the other
day." said DR.. Sheitall, of Savannah this
morning to Metropolis reporter. cit
happened this way: 1 was the physician
in charge OF Charley Clark, the young
undertaken Of your city, while he had a
very bad case of yellow fever. For sew
eral days / anxiously watched HIM and
by close attention managed to break
the fever, but it left him so weak that l.
was afraid that he would die OF exhaust
ion.
However, I was going to do my best
and | instructed the nurse to watch hum
carefully and inform me by messenger II
he began to sink, and with these lnStruc-
tons l left the sick man to attend to my
other patients. In about an honr re-
turned and on looking at the young man
I found that be WAS in state OF collapse
and rapidly sinking, and that his lower
extremities from his hips down were cold
and covered with clammy sweat. There
was no doubt about it, Clark WAS going
rapidly, and was certain that IN about
three or four hours he would be dead;
what to do next? I had tried everything
I could think of to rally him, but moth
ing would bring his pulse above 46 de-
grees and his temperature was down to
95 and sinking lower all the time.
ssMatters were looking desperate, and
it was very sad to see the sturdy young
fellow, who only a few days previous
was robust athlete, and now his life
was slowly ebbing away. Suddenly the
idea struck me to fan him. At first 1t
seemed that that such course would be
absurd, as he was cold as an iceberg, but
finally 1 resolved on the attempt, as L
knew it would close the now open pores,
and 1 determined to try. Calling for
fan, l took off all the covering but
sheet, and slowly began waving 1t over
him. In few minutes gave the ian to
the nurse and watched the result. In
ten minutes I noticed slight change IN
the pulse for the better, and urged the
nurse to keep up the novel treatment.
In three quarters of an hour imagine my
feelings when I found that the sick
mans pulse had risen to 56 and his tenn
perature to 90. He then fell into sweet
sliced and awoke out of danger.
sI was so impressed that this tanning
saved his life that l tried it on lady
patient of mine and with equal success.
sWhat's her name?" "Well, | don't
think that she would care to get it into
the papers, but it is true, every word OF
it, Strange treatment, isn't lt?''

NOVELTIES IN JEWELRI.
The Newest Fruits OF the Engravrr's and
Lapidary's Arts.
(From the New York Star.)

(From the New York star.>
There arc not many startling innova.
tons in jewlery. Bar pins are a thing OF
the past, being almost superseded by the
old.fashioned brooch. Clusters are again
fashionable in earrings, as well as pins.
Diamonds of decided color are the
rage this season, and the uncertain pale
yellows are not very popular. The rich
yellows, cinnamons and pinks are the
favorite tints, and are introduced into
many ornaments.
Most persons are only acquainted with
the conventional blue sapphire, but these
stones are also OF beautiful rose-color,
yellow and green.
The alexandrite is almost chameleon
like in its aspects, being green by day
and red by artificial Light. Uncommonly
tinted stones are known as pierras dc
fantalsle.
At Tifany's is a large pearl OF odd
shape, looking like balloon, around
which twines writhing serpent formed
of tiny diamonds.
An odd conceit is a diamond stirlup
intended for pendant, and studded with
pearl nail heads
4 head of Marie di Medicis is cary d
from single large topaz. The pond,
regular features of the naughty Italian
are admirably depicted. The high ruff
is one mass OF very small diamonds, and
on the head and in the ears sparkle the
costly stones.
The pretty fower-pins have by no
means decreased in popularity.
A spray of delicate purple lilacs, with
diamond centers, is very lovely.
a chryssnthemum of rich purple
makes very styli b ornament, with one
large, yellow diamond in the center.
A blossom of Alpine edelweisa is re-
fined and modest, with centre of sap
phire surrounded with diamonds.
1t is not generally known that pearls
are found in fresh water. Some lovely
ones come from the lakes and rivers in
Ohio and Tennessee. The stones are
often of the purest white, but more
frequently have pink and blue reflections,
with en- almost opaline radiance. They
are not very large, and are set in pins
in the shape of squares, triangles,
cresents, stars, etc.
A bee-shaped pin is formed Of one
ablong pearl, with diamond wings and
eyes OF burning rubies.
The head of hairpin of amber shell
is formed OF one brilliant yellow diamond
set in knot of smaller white diamonds;
from this ornament springs an aigrette
of palest yellow.
A most aesthetic breastpin is dande-
lion blow made of raw silk sparkled with
tiny diamonds. The wires in which they
are set are embedded in the fluffy silk,
where they scintillate like so many dew
drops. The silk can be easily renewed
when soiled, and the delicate blossom is
as airy as its counterpart in nature.
A very small miniature is protected
by table.diamond with faceted edges,
in lieu Of glass.
Alarge Briolette diamond is suspended
from twisted golden knot set thickly
with small brilliants.
An odd and beautiful pin is single
star sapphire, almost an inch in diameter.
This stone is Opaque and Of hue
bordering on dove-gray. A distinct star
in paler tinting is visible on the surface.
The stone is surrounded with diamonds
and is a rare and beautiful specimen.

BEARS DON'T SCARE HER.
A Plucky Girl Who Carries the Mail
Through an Oregon Wilderness.

lfroln lne portland OreSOnian.l
Oregan has woman mail carrier.
Her name is Miss Minnie Westman, and
she carries the Uncle Sans mail from
the head Of navigation on the SinslaW
River over the Coast Range mountains,
following up the river to Hsle's Post
Office station, within fifteen miles of
Eugene City. Herroute is twenty miles
long and is situated right in the noun
tains, where all the dangers and adVen-
tures incident to such an occupation
abound. She carries the mail night and
day and fears nothing. She rides horse
back and carries trlsty revolver.
Miss Westman is plump little bru-
nette, and is just twenty years old. Her
father and uncle operate stage line and
have contract for carrying the mail.
At Hale's station Minnie meets her father
and gets the mali from Eugene City and
starts on her route.
Miss WeStman las never met with
serious mishap in the performance of
her duty. On one Of her trips last year
she found three goodsized bears in the
road, right in front of her. The horse
on espying them became frightened,
threw his rlder to the ground, and, turn
ing around, ran back the road he came.
MISS Westman, with great presence of
mind, started after the runaway, aud,
oTertaking him, remounted aud rode
right through the savage Gordon, and,
strange to say, she WAS not attacked.
Meeting some friends, she told them Of
what she had seen, and they went to the
place and killed the bears. So far this
year, Miss Westman has met two bears,
which did not molest her.

GRAYDON'S DYNAMITE GUN.
An Invention that Shoots Dynamite Pro-
j.ctiIes Out of Ordinary Cannon.
(From the indianapolis Journal.)

(From the indianapolis Journal.)
In 1886, when Lieutenant Graydon OF
this city returned from China. he began
experimenting upon shells loaded with
dynamite. The danger of such shells is
their explosion from heat or conclusion be
fore they leave the gun, thus rendering
them more dangerous to the men operating
the guns than to the encmy. To overcome
this fault of such projectileS he placed the
dynamite in packing of abcstos, inside
the shell, the asbestos being 4 non-conduc-
tor of heat. ard also soft, prevented the
premature explosion of the shells, either by
heat or concussion In the summer OF
1886 an appropriation was made hy Con-
gress for the purpose OF testing his lnVen
tion, and on Aug. 10 Of that year, under
the supervision of General Howard, in
command of the Pacific Coast Department,
Il number Of experiments were made with
the shells. These We're SO far successful
that the committee recommended that tur-
thrr experiments be made by the Govern
ment, which was done ut Sandy Hook, on
Nov. 10, 1887, and another favorable TT,
port was made Shortly afterward q com
pany was formed with.a nominal capital
stock Of $1,000, 900, which purchased all
OF the Lieutenant's inventions up to that
date, there being besides the dynamite shel!
an acccerating cartridge ant! ~ explosive
called tue Graydnn high explosive. Pat
ents were secured on them all in the nlled
States and in foreign countries. About
two months ago q proposition was received
from the French Government for the pur-
chase of the right to use the dynamite shell
for that nation and her colonies. The fig
ures were 81 900 900, and not $500, 900, Us
has been stated, aud the right to this one
invention was sold last week to France FOR
that sum.
