Ewes Peruvian Mummtes.

Lieut. J. ". Gardner, OF the United
States naval engineer corps, has pre-
scented the Worcester Natural History
Society with about dozen curious look
ing objects, which were taken from Per
uvian mummies. These objects are hem
spherical, and in shape resemble tie
lens OF an eye. But they are hard, AMI
take fine polish.
Lieut.. Gardner. who at present resides
in this city, has been in the service for
long time, and was off the coast OF Peru
during the great earthquake and tidal
wave Of 1850. Several men-Of-war We're
cast Cd shore and wrecked. His vessel,
however, escaped injury. The news soon
reached them that two United States
vessels were ashore az Africa, and the
vessel was headed for that point under a
full head OF steam. Near where the
vessels We're stranded the naval officers
found numbers OF bodies wrapped up
like mummies, and thoroughly desIccatad.
The great tidal wave had torn away the
earth which had covered them for CEN
turtles and washed them out Of their
time-honored resting place. In the hol-
low orbits of their eyes and covered by
their wrappings, these sO-caIcd eyes

Edenton Should Help Them.

What is Edenton going to do for the
Johnstown sufferers? Every other
place in the State and in the South has
responded most nobly to the appeal
growing out of this most terrible disas-
ter and, we think, Edenton should not
be behind in the great work of alIevia-
ton.
Let the Mayor call meeting of the
citizens at the Court House, on some
appropriate day, and let an effort be
made amongst them to raise a respect
able contribution. In matter Of this
kind, the churches of our town never
fail to recognize their duty but, we
apprehend, in this instance our charity
should be a united charity for general
good.

The Edenton Agricultural and Fish Fair

The Edenton Agricultural and Fish Fair.
We are glad to be able to announce
the fact that the above is now number
ed among the institutions of our town
and section. The stock is all takeu,
the grounds are being put in thorough
order and the Exposition Building has
been let out under contract and will
be completed in full for the October
exhibition. The track is being put in
thorough order and will be, when fin
ished, one Of the best in the State. It
is wide, level as table, and will be,
when again rolled, as hard as a con-
crete pavement.
The farmers Of the county and sec
ton are requested to get something, in
the way CT agricultural products, stock,
poultry. ETC., read for the exposition,
and the ladies are earnestl y requested to
take full interest in the fair and, at
once, prepare something in the way of
needle work, something culinary, or
anything of artistic beauty and excel
lence, not neglecting to be personally
present themselves in all their natural
grace and magnetic attraction. Let's
make the fair success by all means
and let no one fail to help,in the matter,

the matter of tax reduction he always
voted with his party in Congress.
This being true, the fact that he is a

as we now believe, that the selection
will prove a wise one for the party

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 23.-Sev-
eral months ago John O'Brien, OF
New York City, came here with n
picked gang Of men to work on the
new water works tunnel. The tun-
mel extends int and under the
lake for a mile from the shore. 1t
has been a source Of much trouble
to the contractor and the city be-
cause of quicksand which has
threatened that part Of il which
has been finished; as well as the
lives OF the men employed upon its
construction. O'Brien il an expert
in the use Of compressed air, and
he was brought here to combat the
quicksand. He did what he was
hired to de. The quicksand so feet
under Lake Erie and 100 feet from
shore was successfully passed
and the compressed air was
let out Of the tunnel. Bricks
tumbled out Of its side and quick
sand and water came pouring In
in an unbroken stream. The work
men fled for their lives and es-
capped death in n most remarkable
manner. An investigation proved
that the brick wall Of the tunnel
had been cut purpOsely, and
O'Brien was suspected Of having
done it. The contractor and city
official declare that 0'Brien cut the
wall in order to prolong his en-
gagement at a fancy salary. The
matter was laid before the grand
Jury, where il was said that one Of
O'Brien's picked men had turned
States evidence, and the result was
an indictment against the New
York diver. He was arrested to-
night.

prison was Immediately rearrested

Hill now holds with Hopes counsel,
and says the arrest was premature.
The governor takes 1000 words 10

He says the point Of law is an inter-

have been many conflicting decis-
Ions, and Hope must be dis
charged and given an opportunity
to return TO California If he so de-
desired.

How He Did II.

CINCISSATI, Nov. 23.-A local
paper publishes a story that Richard
d. Kyle, vice-president Of the An
derson Harris Carriage Company,
Of ElmwoOd, has emberzled $50, 900
of the company's funds. Members
Of the company say tonight that
their loss will lie less than $4,000.
They state that Kyle's method was
to steal money from the firm and
invest in the comPany's stock. In
this way he obtained about SIG, 600
worth Of stock. He has, besides
this, loaned the company SIS, 600 in
cash. All this has been secured.
Kyle met a young girl in a house Of
doubtful repute in the city, became
infatuated with her and sent her to
the Western Female Seminary at
Oxford, Ohio, where she has been
for more than a year, she has now
been sent away by the trustees Of
the seminary. Kyle has not yet
been arrested, nor does it seem like
ly that he will be.
