circumstantial, but it seemed TO prove
beyond question that Hiram was the
murderer.
The young girl in question had been
Hiram 9 sweetheart and later. his prom
ised bride, but another lover appeared, a
rival who was both rich and handsome i,
though reputed to be wild if not positive
ly bad.
Such complications as arose in the af-
fairs OF the young people were not di-
vulged IN the court proceeding, but it
appeared quite clear that Hiram Cushaw
nndlng that the girl was changing her
love from him to his rival, few into q
passion and stabbed her to death.
NOW came the strangest part of the af-
fair. About year after Hiram Cushaw's
escape from jail his rival lay dying of a
slow fever and in his last moment con-
fessed that he was the real murderer of
the girl.
linn ediately the confession went into
the newspapers of Philadelphia, New
York, Baltimore and other cities, and
every effort was made to find the young
man who had come so near being hanged
for crime of which he was wholly inno-
cent; but all in vain. Hiram Cushaw
had passed beyond the reach of both JUS
tice and injustice.
1t was when every one else had given
up all hope of ever again hearing from
the unfortunate fugitive that Thomas
Cushaw began his search for his lost
brother. Learning from the detectives
all that they knew, he went at once to
the village in Tennessee and began his
work where they, baffled completely,
had left Off
The story would be tedious, though in
teresting in way, if should give the
details of all the poor boys labors in
tracing, by the merest hints of evidence,
the course pursued by Hiram along the
mountain range which runs from Tenn
essee through Georgia and far down into
Alabama. The mountain people are
simple and often outlandish, bnt they
have long memory. A stranger once
seen by them is never forgotten.
From the highlands Hiram had made
his way almost directly to the coast re-
gion OF Mississippi. Evidently his con-
trolling aim had been to find a place
where he could elude discovery and live
the rest of his days entirely away from
civilized men. How he came to select
Honey Island is not known; but thither
Thomas traced him and at last found
him
But what the youth suffered in those
last days of the search cannot be ade-
quately described.
Thomas had scarcely disappeared in
the canebrake, after swimming the river
on his horse, when he was

rife and the deadly "cluck of the bull
let striking near. He held his breath
and swan beneath the water until he
touched the bank, whore he struggled
out and dragged himself, almost ex-
hausted, up the slope. Painting and too
weak to stand, he orawlsd along toward
the thioket that fringed the low bluff.
Where was Hiram? Thomas called
him, once. twice, three times. No an
swer. Turner had reloaded his gun in
the meantime and now took deliberate
aim at the distressed boy. His shot
missed, owing to the distance and the
difficulty of sighting by moonlight.
Thomas felt his. heart sinking and his
strength fading out, but he struggled on
and at last pulled himself almost faint
ing into the cover of the bushes.
Accounts are conflicting so that the
fate of Hiram Cushaw is not certainly
known. One story is that he was killed
outright by Bige Turner's first shot;
the other is, that in diving under the
water he inadvertently turned toward
the wrong shore of the river, and so
come out on the side from which he had
set out, and was captured by the out
laws who tried him, condemned him to
death and pardoned him on condition
that he would still remain with them.
One thing is well authenticated: He was
never again seen by any of his kindred.
Thomas went home to his parents
broken in health and spirits, and died
two years afterwards of pneumonia.

A NEW DISABLING MACHINE.

COntrivance for Extracting Essences from
wood-A Successful Test at Palestine.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
PALESTINE, Ten, March 12.-Your
correspondent was invited to inspect the
workings of a model patent distilling
machine, designed by Mr.. L. Lewen-
thai of this city, for the purpose of ex-
tracing essences from wood. The ar
rangement consists of a cylinder or re-
tort three feet long by eight inches in
diameter suspended above furnace.
A worm, enclosed in barrel of water,
fourteen feet long in connected with the
retort, which is air tight. The re-
tort was charged or filed with
forty pounds of ordinary, pure wood,
and thirty-ive minutes after the fire
was started gas could be seen
issuing from the end of the worm. Gas
was followed by wood turpentine, then
creosote and finally tar, until three and
a half gallons of substance or essence
was extracted from the wood, which, on
being taken from the retort was found to
be the very best quality of charcoal.
Local capitalists have taken hold OF this
invention and will no doubt erect large
plant in short while. It IS estimated
that one cord of pine wood will result in
one and a half barrels of tar, eighteen
gallons of turpentine and an unknown
quantity of wood alcohol, wood vinegar
and creosote. Mr.. LewenthAl thinks
that sufficient gas can be secured from
one retort Zone cord of wood to burn the
other as well as to light the entire plant.
Mr.. g. E. Dilley, the new postmas-
ter, has made application TO the post
master-generaI for authority TO move
the postofhce to the east end of Spring
street. The present location is midway
between old and new town, and is the
most convenient to the patrons OF the
Office, but the present quarters are en-
tirely indeQuate and it is thought desira-
bic to move into more commodious quar-
ters.

bright prospects that Seymour has OF be-
ing q railroad center, IS it is now a
settled fact that the Wichita Valley
railroad and the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad will both be running
cars to this place within the next
six months and with fair prospect
of procuring other railroads in the near
future. The heavy rain that fell here
to-day, which makes the wheat crop
certainty, has put a broader smile on the
faces of verybOdy. The farmers feel
sure Of success in this enterprise, and
the land agents say that land has adj
vanced considerably in the last few
hours, in fact, everybody is happy.
Mr.. J A. Taylor, late of Lancaster,
J. L. Linch of Wichita Falls and Harris
Rice & Co. of Abilene, are all opening
fine stocks of hardware and implements.
There will also be large furniture store
opened in a few days, besides, other
storehouses that are being built, which
makes everything hum.
Farming lands are being purchased by
and the town lots are being improved by
having magnificent stone buildings
erected on them, which is taken from the
banks of the Brazos river, il being a
quarry of the finest building stone in the
state.
There is being q fine iron bridge
built across the BraZos river at this
place at a cost Of SIS 900, which
will give the people OF Throckmorton,
Haskell and Knox counties q good thor
oughfare to this place. The town OF
Seymour has grown in the last sixty days
from 400 to 1900 inhabitants. The new

"Drop that guni''
"Hold up your hands!'
They ordered, all speaking at once
| their voices sounding as deadly as the

Taken thus unaware, Thomas could do
no less than obey; so he let fall his rife
and held up his hands in token of sur

One of the men stepped forward and
took the pistols from his holsters, the
others still holding their weapons ready
to fire if he made but the slightest move

''Git down of IN that thar boss, -
was the next command.
Thomas dismounted.
"Now, then, youngster, - said the
largest and most savage looking of the
men, as he took hold of the bride,
"I'm a-thinkin' at this, animal jest

heightened the stirrup straps and
mounted into the saddle.

grumbled the third, as he sulkily appro-
prlated the weapons. 'GOt any money

Thomas had few dollars, which he
was compelled to give up.
The man on the horse rode away, the
other shouldered his two guns and disap-
peared; but the one who had taken the
pistols and money fingered.
''What made ye come yer?' he
growled, when he saw that Thomas was

"Can't ye talk? What did We come

straight in the eye and said:

"Hiram Cushaw.'
''Boy, there's no SIGH man or boy on

The man looked keenly at Thomas, as

inquired.

Hiram whirling in his brain?
''Take me to him, sir, oh, do take

suppressed so long rushed over him and
mastered him.
''Ef yer Abe's brother, and ye II stop

said the robber, showing (if any feeling

Somehow Thomas had lost all control

cried Hiram, and in a moment the
brothers were swimming side by side
m the cool water of Pearl river. The
sense of escape gave vigor TO their limbs
as they reached away for the other
shore. Both were excellent swimmers,
and the danger behind them, as we'll as
the freedom before, made them forget
the fatigue of their long run through
the jungle. Thomas felt, and well he
might, thrill of joyous triumph in his
heart. He had found his long-lost
brother and was taking him back TO
home, father, mother and an honest
life. Swiftly they lunged through
placid, shining water; they were almost
across, when a shout Of discovery rang
on: behind them. It was the voice of
Turner. Involuntarily both looked
back. The outlaw was standing on the
bank and was aiming his rifle.
''Diye, quick!'' exclaimed Hiram.
Thomas plunged under the surface Just
as he heard the long. clear sound OF the

The youth had given the name Of
Thomas Cushaw, and it is his story that
1 have now to record, as have it, partly
from old journals of the date and partly
from the lips of men yet living who saw
the boy and recollect all the cfrcum-
stances of his narrative when lie returned
from Honey Island nearly three weeks
after leaving the village.
A young man had been convicted of a
foui murder in Pennsylvania, and in ac-
cordance with his sentence he was to be
hanged. His name was Hiram Cushaw;
his family was we'll -tO-do and highly re-
spectacle, as was that of the young girl
for whose death he had been condemned
TO suffer ON the scaffold. On the night
before the day set for the hang
ing Cushaw escaped from jail and
was never recaptured, thought every
effort was made to find him. He baffied
the detectives, who, for the large re-
ward offered by the murdered girls
relatives, logged his tracks for more
than year, and all trace Of him was
lost at village in East Tennessee.
Thomas Cushaw was Hiram's younger
brother, and could never be convinced
that he was guilty, simply because Hiram
himself persisted in vehemently asserting
his innocence.
All the evidence at the trial had been
