STORY OF A PISTOL.
A Stolen Weapon Recovered, But the
Thief Skips-

oklpo.
Detective Wetherhorn recovered, yester-
day, the revolver stolen from J. Wohankas
store last Monday, but the thief who ran
out of the store with it has not yet been
caught. TIE revolver is a hammerless,
blue-steel pistol of 50 caliber.
Willie Stevirson, it appears from his
statement, went into Wohanka's store TO
buy revolver, accompanied by George
Thomas, another colored youngster.
Wohanka showed Stevirson the weapon,
and Thomas then asked to see it. Stevirson
ha ded II to Thomas, who pocketed the
weapon and broke for the door, pursue ed by
the lrate storekseper, but Thomas made
good his escape, and when the victim of the
theft returned Stevirson was gone.
Afterward StevIrson went to place in
Coopershop lane where Thomas roomed
and took the pistol to sell. He got broke at
a game of Skin" and sold the pistol to
Jordan Young, and Detective Wetherhorn,
finding 1t out, got after Young. The
latter said he knew nothing about
the pistol having been stolen, but borrowed
SIS from his employer to buy it from Stevir-
son. Young's employer heard about the
inquiry for the property, and turned the
revolver over to another officer, but, learn
ing that the detective had the case, after
ward recovered the weapon and gave it to
him.
Stevirson at first asked So for the Sl4
revolver, but when he went broke in the
skin game he sold the gun for S., and soon,
to quote the language of the players,
"blowed" that in. He said that he after
ward went home and got SIS and paid

The Oyster Labor Question,

Nel0S: Your issue of this date states that

Of opponents too unintelligent to appre-

employment of native labor was contem-

FOUGHT OVER A CORPSE.
The Divorced Wife of a Man Quarrels
Over His Body with Woman.

From the Philadelphia Press
CINCINNATI, Oct. S-One OF the most
sensational funerals that ever occurred in
this city, or, rather, did not occur, was set
for this afternoon at 127 George street. The
friends had gathered, and the widow, who
in this case was the deceased's mistress, was
at the coffin's head, a minister was in at
tendance, and the obsequies we're about to
begin, when a screaming woman rushed in
and frantically threw herself on the corpse.
It was the divorced wife of the deceased
Henry, alias Smoky" Ewing.
In moment both women we're struggling
about the de d man, fighting like tigers
Friends rushed in and separated the women
and things were quieting down, when
another uorOar in the yard again stopped
proceedings 1t appears each woman d
engaged an undertaken The rival funeral
directors met in the yard. and each ordered
the other off. Neither woul go, aud they,
too, began a struggle, which was ended by
the indignant neighbors, who ordered both
men away from the place.
By this time the preacher had left, and
the two women again began to fight, this
time over the possession of an insurance
policy for $3.50 taken out by Ewing in
favor of his mistress. They fought all over
the flo II, until the police interfered and
closed the house.
1ho OhCo "Aho pIOCoeuou W d lawyer anu
swore out writ of habeas corpus for the
body of the deceased, and the mistress has
applied for an injunction to prevent her
rival from taking possession of the body or
disposing of the policy. Meantime, the
dead man lies unburied in his home, and
friends of both women patrol the vicinity
TO prevent the other from stealing the body.
If an amcable settlement OR a compromise
is not effected by morning the health au-
thorities will interfere to cause the inter-
ment of Ewing's body.

RAIL AND CROS5TIE.

Last night was big night at the Central
ticket office. There was a rush for tickets
to the Piedmont exposition. The fare on
Tuesday and Thursday of each week is 81
good for five days, and the people who are
expecting to attend the fair are taking al
vantage of the low rate. The regular rate
is S. sc, good until Nov. 4. These tickets
are sold every day. Tuesday and Thurs
day, however, are the popular DAYS.
Among those who went up last night are:
Malcolm MacLean, John I. r )wland, II. C.
Davis, S. NJ. Chestnut, f. NJ Farley, l..
Carson, William Daffin and Mrs. Tnom IS
McCaffrey. The number of tickets sold
last Night to Atlanta was in the neighbor-
hood of 100.
Travelling Passenger Agent r. w. Hunt,
of the South Carolina division of the Cen
trail railroad, spent yesterday in the city on
business connected with the division The
Richmond and Danville railroad is putting
down tracks at Spartanburg to allow the
Port Royal and Western Carolina railroad
to connect with them, establishing u
through service from Savannah to Ashe-
vile and Hot Springs, N. G. The switch
will be completed to-day, and a schedule
will be put on at once Heretofore the
service over the Central to the North Caro-
lima resorts has not been the most satisfac
tory. By the old schedule the Asheville
sleeper from Savannah ran no farther than
Spartanburg. At Spartanburg transf ar
was made, in consequence Of the tracks be-
ing separted. This was inconvenient, and
if night schedule were put on it would
have been more inconvenient still, since the
transfer would have to be made at nj ht
Hereafter the regular night train, leaving
here at $40 O'Clock, will carry sleeper to
Asheville without change The passenger
tram service, MIR. Hunt said, on the Pal
metto line. from Charleston to Augusta,
has been increased. An additional night
passenger train has been put on, which
carries a through sleeper between Charles
ton and Atlanta. This was necessitated by
the increased traffic over that line and also
for the theatrical parties and travelling men.
BY this arrange ent Savannah viii re-
ceive better facilities. A better service will
be had from Augusta, and the route to
North Carolina resorts will become de-
cidedlY more popular.

ANCIENT CHI MES e BRIDGES.
Engineering Science in the Celestial
Empire 1000 Years Ago.


The Chinese suspension bridge. dating from
the time of the Han dynasty (202 B. c. to
220 A. d., furnish striking evide ice of the
early acquaintance of the Chinese with en-
cheering science. According to the his
tOrical and geographical writers of China,
it was Shang Lieng. the commander of the
army under Kaen Tsu, who undertook the
construction of the roads IN the province of
Shense, to the west of the capital, the high
mountains and deep gorges Of which made
communication difficult, and which could
be reached only by circuitous routes. At
the head of an army of 10000 workmen.
Shang Lieng cut through mountains and
filled up the valleys with the soil obtained
from the excavations. Where, however,
this was not sufficient to raise a road high
enough, he built bridges resting upon abut-
ments or projections.
At other places, where the mountains were
separated by deep georges. he carried out a
plan of throwing suspension bridges,
stretching from one slope to the other.
These bridges. appropriately called by the
Chinese writer's "flying'' bridges, are some
times so high as to inspire those who cross
them with fear. At the present day there
is still bridge in existence in She Sc 400
feet long, which stretches across a gorge Of
immense depth. Most Of the bridges are
only wide enough to allow of the passage of
two mounted men, ratings on both sides
serving for the protection of travellers. Ii
is not improbable that the missionaries who
first reported ON Chinese bridges two cent
uries ago gave the initiative to the con-
struction of suspension bridges In the west.
