tended.
DARLINGTON, KY, May 2.-Last night
Louis Morton and Miss Lizzie Hays, both
OF this place, attended a ball. Morton OBJ.
iected to Miss Hays dancing with his rival,
but she ignored his protest. As they were
going home Morton upbraided her for her
conduct at the ball. 1t seems that she was
not in a very repentant mood and Morton,
with jealousy, drew a pistol and fred
three shots at her, one ball striking her in
the breast and inficting, probably, q fatal
wound. The would.be murderer then at
one shot terminated his career. About a
year ago Morton made an unsuccessful at
tempt to assassinate Redford Crabtree be-
cause Crabtree was trying to win the affec-
tions Of Miss Hays from him.

Of raising large stones for the purpose
Of building hugo masses OF masonry.
and which was supposed to be the
means employed in building the pyra-
mids. although the precise method
adopted by the mighty builders Of tho

that the lifting power was applied
from below, the stone being raised by

stone would first Of al be raised from

by . large number Of men.
After getting the stone to tho proper
height . slab Of stone or metal could
be inserted, and . similar process
adopted with the other end Of the
stone. So. BY alternately working At
either end. . certain height might be
attained. Then. by the use Of wedges
and rollers. the stone might be got
into position. Another method sug-
gcsted was BY means Of. slightly In
clined planes formed Of strong timber.

stones up on rollers BY leverage ap-

be any suggestion Of any direct lifting
