Two brutal negroes of Lake Charles, known
as Mansfield and Lee, were In Orange last
week, where they made murderous assault
upon Mr., LUcius Martin, also of this place,
but at present employed in the foundry of
0. B. GreeYes at Orange. Mr.. Martin, SO
far as Is known, bad given no provocation
for the assault, and was at the time walking
leisurely and unsuspectiDgly along In the
vicinity Of the Curry house, when he was set
upon and feIled with a heavy club In the
hands of one Of the negroes. Mr.. Martin
was dangerously hurt, and is still In a suffer
ing condition. The negroes are under arrest.
His father went from here to the bedside of
his son as soon as the knowledge of the
savage act reached him. Returning Wednes-
day evening, he reports the young man as In
hopeful way Of recovery. The family are
well known here, and are held In the high
est esteem Lucius is young gentleman Of
uuimpeachable character for morality and
industry, and was not known to have an
enemy in the land. His many friends here
will anxiously await his complete restoration.
An energetic business man is looked for
who viii interest himself iD soliciting sob
scribers to inaugurate joint stock company
for establishing in Lake Charles combined
water works, electric light and ice factory
plants. Such a combination is not unusual,
the three systems beipg housed IN the same
building IL necessary, aud the power sup
piled by the same machinery. Capital stock
Of &25, 600 would be adequate to all present
needs. The stock would undoubtedly pay
well, and Lake Charles would take an aston
lshing leap ahead. The city authorities would
willingly enter into satisfactory contract with
such company for light and water supply for
public use

Another Modern Samson.

There is a broad shouldered. dark
compleyioned man in Chelsea who, it
is claimed. is the strongest man in the
county, if not in the slate. He has
been physical giant fiom boyhood.
When a mere youth he tsd 10 amuse
himself by lifting a barNl of -four,
putting it ON his should,i and carry
ing it around the block Later he
would shoulder barrel o. sugar and
carry il up two flights Of stairs and
bring il down again, just for the fun
Of the thing.
When he was q years oi age he
celebrated his coming Of age by lifting
a set Of quarry cart wheels, including
axle and pole, and Juggling the whole
lot, weighing LOO pounds, a quarter
Of a mile. After that his feats OF
strength were numerous. BE hello
two men, weighing 160 pounds each,
at arms length, holding one on each,
hand. Bending big crowbars and
pulling up sapling trees six inches
through by the roots were ordinary
pastimes for this young Samson.
The crowning feat Of his life hap
pened few years ago, when he was Q
carpenter and worked on new block
then building in Chelsea The work
men had been trying TO hoist big
iron girder into its place on the second
story. The girder had square edges
and weighed ], 800 pounds. The ropes
which had been placed around il were
cut in two by the sharp edges as soon
as the tackle was hauled taut Fl
nally, In desperation, the foreman
sent for chain. While the man was
gone Mr.. Houston shouldered the
girder and took it up the ladder and
placed it in position.
1T hurt my shoulders some, said
he, when telling OF his performance,
''but outside of that / felt no inconven-
ienoe. / have never lifted in harness,
and do not know how much could
take up, but have an idea that could
lift as much as DR.. Winship ever did
II ! tried. / am Q workingman and

are as hard rs knots, and be

To FIN THE FEES.
Some Action to be Taken on the so-CaIIed
Fee system.

Some Action to be Taken on the so-CaIIed
Fee system.
Judge Caleb e. Irvine, of the pro-
bate court OF Silver Bow county, Is in
Helena upon invitation of several
members Of the legislature to assist in
preparing bill of some kind for the
modification of the present fee law
Complaints from all quarters Of the
territory are being heard of the scant
fees aud salaries received by county
officials. Judge Irvine, who has held
Office in Montana uninterruptedly for
twenty-five years, is OF the opinion
that the present fee law should be re-
pealed or amended. For an amend
meDt he wants to see the scale of fees
raised in nearly each case and for tie
justices Of the peace and probate judges
he says the 5000 yearly salary should
remain, which, with the advance In
fees, would make the offices named
worth about 5000 year to the hold
er. In relation TO the matter Of taking
cases to the probate court for imme-
diate action, this court. which has
similar powers TO the district court in
civil actions, receives only the same
fee as the justice court, for taking
written complaints rs is required,
whereas In the justice court they are
submitted orally. The fee for this
work in the probate court 10 but 81.
whereas 1t should be at least $3.50
And In many other instances the pro.
tate court 10 placed on an equal level
with the Justice court where the work
is double. "As the law stands, /" says
Judge Irvine, "the receipts will moi
actually pay the expenses OF the sew
sral ofiicet. Particularly lie this true
with the sheriff. But / think oil this
trouble will be soon ended"

Alexander Nasmyth, the Landscape
painter, was q man fruitful in expedi-
ens. To his mind, the fact that .
thing could not be done in the ordi-
nary manner was no reason why it
should be given up. His son relates
the following interesting example of
his ingenuity:
The Duke Of Athol consulted him q
70 some improvements which he do
Gred to make in his woodland scenery
near Dunkeld.
Among other things. certain rocky
crag needed 10 be planted with trees
to relieve the grim barrenness of its
appearance The question was how 70
do IT, Is il was impossible for any man
TO climb she crag, in order to set seed
or plants in the clefts Of the rock.
A happy idea struck my father.
Having observed in front Of the castle
q pair of snail cannon, used for firing
salutas on great days il occurred q

with al sorts Of suitable tree seedA
The cannon was loaded, and the can
istes were fred up against the high
face Of the rock. They burst, and
scattered the ssed in all directions
Some years after, when my father
