ANDREW CARNEGIE'S VENGEANCE.
He Fires" Clerk who Furnished Figures
to Congressman Scott.

NEW YORK, October 1.-the Even
ing Telegram's Pittsburg special says.
Andrew Carnegie has wreakcd his
revenge on one of the clerks in his
employ for betraying the secrets Of his
business to the friends of tariff reform.
Carnegie himself had confessed once to
committee Of Congress that he made
profit of s., 900 day out Of his iron
business, but he was driven almost
mad when Congressman William l..
Scott, of Erie, in his speech for the
Mills bill, gave facts and figures from
Carncgie's own books: which proved
conclusiveIy that Carnegie was max
ing such enormous profits out Of the
tariff laws because he could manufac-
ture at about the foreign figures on
both iron and steel. When Carnegie
returned from Europe he determined
to find out who had furnished Scott
with the deadly bit of statistics, and at
last he thinks he has traced it to
Democratic clerk named Fleters, who
had command of the figures and sta
tistics. He was promptly discharged
to-day. Fleters will go to Washington,
where Mr.. Scott has secured him
position in one Of the departments.

THE HAND OF PROVIDENCE.
4 Train Narrowly Escapes Being Crushed
in Tunnel.

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE fast
St. Louis limited express, which left
Weehawken last night at a quarter
past o'clock, came very near meeting
with a serious accident in the West
Point tunnel. The train left New York
on time, but was delayed about half an
hour on account Of running over and
killing an unknown man. When the
train was almost in the middle of the
tunnel, about fifty feet of the arch fell
in, and all immense mass Of bricks,
rock and earth fell upon the train. The
train was moving very slowly, and it
was due to this that nothing more
serious resulted than the crushing in Of
the baggage ear, and delay to traffic.
One man was in the baggage can, but
he was got out with little difficulty,
and was uninjured. The engine was
separated from the train by the fall of
the roof of the tunnel, and was not
damaged. The passenger cars were not
even scratched. The sudden stopping
of the train gave the passengers a slight
jar, but caused no bruises. Some Of
them were thrown out of their seats,
and many were badly scared. as they
had nc idea of what was going to hap
pen. They were quieted Immediately,
howeevr, when they found all danger
was over.
The conductor of the train went back
to the end of the tunnel to flag the
next train through, which, was about
due. 1t was held at West Point.
The break was at dangerous spot in
the tunnel underneath the spot known
as Gallows Hollow, place where con-
siderable trouble was experienced when
the tnnnel was built. The ground
above sank in thirty feet. For the
past year men have been at work
Strengthening weak stops along the
tunnel, and had been putting steel ribs
in the roof. Near where tho roof fell
in the engineers of the road had begun
to put in steel ribs for fear of fall,
and the workmen had nearly reached
thespot. From the nature Of the ground
it was supposed that there was water
course in the immediate neighborhood,
and heavy rains so weakened the arch
that it fell. Ever since the repairs
began only one track in the tunnel has
been used, and trains were run over it
very slowly. There is no doubt that
had the train been going at its usual
rate of speed there would have been a
fearful loss Of life.
Superintendent Brock was soon on
the ground, and men were put to work
getting out the wreck. The sleeping
cars were backed out of the tunnel and
the smashed baggage car was left there.
1t will be three or four days before the
mass of wreckage can be cleared away
and trains will be running as usual.

HE STOLE A STREET CAR.
Squire Force, of Staten Island, Ends a
Spree with Mad Freak.

New YORK, October 17.-'Squire
Force, a well-known character of Sta
pleton, S. T., wound up spree this
afternoon by stealing q horse-car and
its load of passengers. Noticing the
driver and conductor alight at the
Concord stables, Force boarded the
platform and whipped up the team.
Employees Of the company pursued
the car, but Force, ignoring the pro-
tests of the passengers, lashed the horses
until they broke into mad gallop and
escaped. One excited man in at.
tempting to escape from the car,
tumbled over the rear dashboard into
a mud-puddle. The women and chill
dren among the passengers became
terror-stricken and screamed for assist
ance: Their cries were heard by po
liceman, who boarded the car. Force
completely collapsed at the policeman's
appearance.

FIRE AT WINNSBORO.
The Duval House Burned-Narrow Escape
Of Other Buildings.
Especial to Register. I

lSpecldl 10 Register.
WINNsBoRO, October lS.-The Duval
House, one Of the principal hotels in
this place, was burned last night. The
fire originated in the kitchen and was
accidental. This was one Of the most
threatening fires we have ever had, and
it was only through the heroic efforts
Of the firemen that the town was saved
from most DISASTROUS confiagration, as
as most of the buildings in the imme-
diate neighborhood are wooden struc-
lures. The fire, when first discovered.
mad made but little headway, but from
some cause the steamer failed to throw
water promptly; hence the loss. Va
rious reasons have been assigned for this
failure, but there'is no doubt that blame
attaches to some one, as the engine was
in good working order. The loss is
about $500. insurance $1,000, in the
Phoenix Of Hartford, represented by
Captain I. \. Withers. Mrs. M. A.
Duval the proprietress, has much SYM
pathy il her loss, as she is a widow
lady, and this property was the accum-
ulation Of her indomitable energy and
perseverance.

DINING ON HORSEFLESH.
Pandora, Famous Steeplechaser. Served
at Philadelphia Banquet.
New York Herald. I

PHILADELPHIA, October Cut up
into big steaks and, served as filet Of
beef at dinner at the Philadelphia
Club, was the fate of Pandora, the fam
our steeplechaser, known to all patrons
of the City Troop races and to the
members of the national guard. Pan
dora was shot because of incurable
lameness. After she had died without
a struggle, the choicest meat was cut
from her bones and taken to the cuisine
of the Philadelphia Club, where the
chief was sworn to secrecy apd the meat
was disguised as a joint of beef.
DR.. Rush S. Huidekoper who bought
Pandora thirteen years ago, gave din
ner at the Philadelphia Club and one
of the dishes on the menu read "filet a
la Pandora" Nobody knew except
DR.. Huidekoper that that course was a
part of poor old Pandora's body. The
guests supposed that the dish was
named in honor of the old steeplechaser,
whom they had seen take many ditch
and fence and come in the winner of
of many an exciting race. After the
filet had been eaten and pronounced
very toothsome by the guests DR..
Huidekoper remarked that be was glad
of his guests appreciation of his favo-
rite horse; "for," he said, "you have
just eaten her"
The guests looked at each other in
amazement, and after short interval
of deathly silence there was a roar of
laughter. Then in an instant every
one seemed to remember Pandora as he
had seen her at the last meet, and in
reverential silence the company rose
to their feet, lifted their glasses to their
lips and slipped in solemn silence to the
memory of the old gray mare they had
just devoured.

PECANS AS A MONEY CROP.
Something OF DR.. Faust's Successful +,
pertinent in Barnwell County.
Correspondence to the World I

Correspondence to the World
BAMBERG, Oct bit may be of
general interest to know what new ag-
ricutural enterprises are springing up
among the farmers of this section of the
country. These new enterprises are gen.
orally the offspring of necessity, occas-
stoned by the unproftableness ofeottcn
raising. A pleasant drive yesterday
afternoon in company with DR.. O. D.
Faust, of this town, to his plantation,
situated about six miles southeast OF
Bamberg, brought your correspondent
face to face with one Of these new
perhaps the latest-industries, a pecan
orchard.
Several years ago DR.. Faust found
cotton growing improbable to him,
end he determined to rent out his lands
and practice his profession. But be-
fore leaving the farm he planted a small
orchard of pecan trees He was con-
vinced that pecans would do well and
bear fruitfully by an experiment of his
mothers, who, fifteen years ago, plated
some Of the pecans in her garden,
never dreaming, perhaps, that at her
age she would live to enjoy any of the
benefits of her experiment, as she was
then IS years of age. But. to the con-
trary, those trees cane up, grew and
thrived, and several years before her
death bore fair crops of nuts: Now
these same, trees will yield 40 to so
pounds to the tree of the finest pecans
your correspondent ever saw.
DR.. Faust at first planted only few
acres, about eleven years ago, and the
trees of that orchard are beginning to
bear very nicely. Two years ago this
crop was growing so finely that he was
encouraged to plant twenty-five acres,
all Of which in few years will be bear
ing we'll.
DR.. Faust says they are of very little
trouble to raise, as they are as hardy as a
hickory tree, and as little liable to be
disturbed by stock. The only difficult
ty he has ever found in raising them
is at the beginning; the ground-moles
will destoy some of the seed, and little
later on something will burrow out the
roots. He examined to find the cause,
and found the roots to be very sweet,
and concludes that the sweetness ac-
counts for their destruction by the un-
known destroyer.
Of course it requires long time and
much patience to wait for anything
like substantial revenue from a crop
of pecans, but not greater than that re-
quired in the orange-growing industry
