THE WATER WORKS TEST.

The system Proves to be Adequate TO Al
Demands.
Yesterday was the day set for the
formal trial Of the wafer supply sys-
tenn put In last summer by the Miles

issue Of last Thursday and was carried
out without change except In one In.
stance. Play commenced at Q o'clock
from the four plugs on Park street,
on each Of which $50 feet OF hose wa
used. This test wAs continued twenty
minutes and was fairly satisfactory,
though owing to the fact that the
boiler ut the pumping station exhlb-
lied q tendency to foam, theirs was not
- much pressure developed Ut this

Mrs. Christiance's Ascent on Broonstick.
From the Albany Journal. I

FONDA, OCT. 9.-Two miles east of
this place is a farm owned by Byron
Christiance. His wife, when cleaning
a we'll stoop, fell headlong into the well,
striking the water ten feet below. For
tunately she did not release her grasp
on the broom she had been using, and
as it struck the water broadside, her
body turned in the seven feet of water
and her feet landed on the bottom. On
coming to the surface she grasped
projecting stone in the shaft and stuck
the end of the broom handle in crew.
ice. Thus gaining support, she scream
ed for help, but without avail. The
shaft was ten feet in diameter, so that
she could not get purchase for her
hands and feet on both sides.
Clinging to the stone with her right
hand and resting her right foot on
projecting stone, she drew herself up
to the surface OF the water, getting
support on the left from the broom.
Then she raised the broom and stuck
it in crevice on level with her head,
getting support with her right hand
and foot. Then she raised herself up
as before, and in this way reached the
curb and finally terra tirma. Mrs.
Christiance will not part from the
broom, to which she credits her mar
vellous escape.

and send it East. But the horrid thing
was not dead, but merely stunned; TO
be reused and clutched the saddle
blanket and crawled up behind the
man. The cowboy, while galloping
along, reached around and felt of the
string in order to see if his prisoner was
secure. Fortunately he had on heavy
gloves, but Notwithstanding this pro-
lection, the monster nipped his little
finger, biting through the glove, and
just scratching the flesh. The man,
when he understood from the shock
what had happened, fully realized that
the situation was serious.
Shaking off the deadly thing, he put
spurs to his horse and rode for his life
to the home ranch, which he reached
fainting. Explaining what had hap
pened, the glove was torn aside and the
wound soaked in tobacco saliva. Every
few minutes green matter would ooze
from the finger, but constant applica-
tions of moist tobacco and doses of
diluted ammonia saved his life. In a
few days the victim had recovered, but
declared he would rather be bitten by
10000 rattlesnakes than be even scrat-
ched by one Gila monster. "It was like
terrific electric shock, only worse"
said be in describing his feelings at the
time he was bitten.

lRUBE BURROWS STOLEN GOLD
Is Claimed By the Express Company-Rube
Put His Spoils In Alabama Land.

Special to the Atlanta Journal.
SAVANNAH, GA, Oct. 14.-Rube
Burrows heirs will not enjoy undisput-
ed possession of the estate the famous
outlaw left behind.
The property of course, was the re-
suits of his several plundering expedi-
tions.
The money he secured by robbing
trains he invested in lands as soon as
possible.
The Southern Express company was
the chief loser by the outlaws work. 1t
was not only robbed of thousands of
dollars, but spent thousands more in it's
vain effort to effect his capture. While
it can never get back the latter, it pro-
poses to make an effort to secure at least
a portion of the former.
To do this it has instructed its gen.
eral counsel, Messrs. Chisholm, Erwin
and du Bignon, of this city, to insti-
tute suit at once for the recovery of the
property. 1t will be fought, of course,
and an interesting legal struggle will
result in the Alabama courts.
Referring to certain sensational sto-
ries that have been sent out from Bir-
mingham and other points, to the effect
that Burrows was dubbed to death and
horribly maltreated, Mr.. F. &. du Big
non said this morning that they had
received letters from the superintend-
ent of the express company, who exam
ined Burrows body.
RUBE WAS NOT MoBBED.
He states that the first reports as to
the manner in which he was killed,
while endeavoring to escape, were
true.
The firm will begin proceedings I'M
mediately.

COLUMBIA, October 13, 1890.
"Hon. J. L. NJ. Irby, Chairman
Democratic Executive Committee, Lau-
rens, S. C.-Dear Sir: In view of the
very grave and complicated political
situation in the State at this juncture,

which YOU are the chairman, and which
We're handed me by you on the 10th

consideration.
"Refection has only confirmed me
in the view I have heretofore expressed
in relation to this matter-and feeling
assured of the high and unimpeachable
character Of these appointees, [ can

confidence of the hearty support Of
every good citizen and Democrat.
II have the honor to remain, very
respectfully yours,
81. 2. RICHARDSON, Governor"
The News and Courier Bureau is able
to confirm its previous announcement
that when opportunity offers Governor
Richardson will give both sides repre-
sentation upon the boards Of election
commissioners. There have been a
number ofresignations from the county
boards, and in almost every case the
county chairmen have been notified
and requested to nominate good men
to fill the vacancies. It is probable
that in every county both shades Of
political opinion will have representa-
ton upon the boards Of managers at
the polling precincts.
This should satisfy both sides. Surely
no more can be asked by any faction
than that there shall be free ballot
and fair count.

ONE FRAGILE CREATURE.
Young Men Contemplating Matrimony May
Look on this Picture.
From the Chicago Tribune !

From the Chicago Tribune.l
a cynical doctor, withal a man of
wonderful resources and a quick mind,
lives on one of the avenues on the
south side. He was in his study few
nights ago when young man came in
and began questioning him about his
(the young man's) propriety of marry
ing. The young man foolishly raved
over his sweetheart and called her an
gelic and so on. He was afraid that she
was too fragile for this world. The old
doctor grunted.
fragile, ,eh?"he asked. "How fragile?
Ever test her fragility? Let me give
you some figures about her and wo-
mankind in general, showing how fra
gile they are. Let US suppose that this
piece of perfection is in moderately
good health. She will live to be, say,
60 years old. Women don't like to die
any more than men do-not as much
for women never grow old, you
know. Listen to me: She will eat one
pound of beef, mutton or some other
flesh every day. That's 365 pounds
of meat in a year. In sixty years it's
2l.90O pounds. HoW's that for fragile?
She will eat as much bread and as
much vegetables per diem, and there
you have in sixty years 1880 pounds
of bread and meat. If she is not too
angelic she will drink daily no less than
two quarts of coffee, tea, wine or beer.
And by the time she is ready to have a
monument she will have consumed It's
hogsheads of liquids. Fragile?
Now, young man, these figures do
not include the forty or fifty lambs she
will worry down with mint sauce. 1t
does not take into consideration the
1000 spring chickens, the 500 pounds Of
butter, $4,000 eggs, and the four hogs
heads of sugar she will consume in
sixty years. 1t doesn't take into con-
sideration her ice cream, her oysters,
her CLAIMS, and such. All this means
about forty-five tons. Fragile? Think
of your affinity in connection with
these figures, and then rave over her
being fragile. Young man you are a

tempt to vote thcni."
Gen. Butler: "Yes, | saw il in the
Washington Post. You may we'll say al
legged interview, for don't believe he
ever used such an expression as that
attributed to him. In the first place 1t
would not he true. The white people
Of Edgetield have no feeling Of hostility
to the negro. They know full well
that the negro is not responsible for
the Straightout movement or ticket;
no more responsible than than child,
and whatever else you may say of the
Edgetield people, they are not mean
and cowardly. They strike right out
from the shoulder, and it would be
mean and cowardly to visit upon the
negroes the sins, either real or imagin-
airy, Of other people. Ifa threat should
be made to drive the white Straightouts
from the polls it would at least have
the virtue of Greek meeting Greek, but
to talk about driving the negroes from
the polls because somebody has set up
an independent ticket would be cruelty
unjust. / shall advise the negroes on
my plantation to keep out Of the con-
troversy. If what l learn is true the
nominees of the September Convention
or their friends will make about as
strong a bid for the negro vote as the
Straightouts. So think the effort
will be to drive them to the polls
rather than from them. 7 do not be-
lieve there has been any threat Of driv-
ing anybody from the polls"
ALL WILL WORK OUT RIGHT.
Reporter: "What, Senator, do you
think will be the outcome Of all this
political confusion and how will it af-
feet The State?"
Gen. Butler: "Oh, we'll, l think the
regular ticket will be elected and we
shall ;ll settle down again to peace and
quiet, and by 1872 come together again.
Don't lose sight of the fact that the
people of the State have charge Of this
business, and they are going to manage
it. They said they wanted a new deal
and they got it-rather more, perhaps,
than they barga!ned for; but to use an
expressive, ii not very elegant, phrase,
l don't think they have bit off more
than they can chaw.
"As to the effect upon the State, why
that wifi depend on the new Admins
tration. The nominees have been en-
joying the pastinle of throwing brick
bats at those in office. Very soon the
brickbats will begin to fly at them.
You know there is a great deal of differ
ence in the two situations of hitter and
hittee, so to speak. They have been
the hitteys; now they will be the hit
tees. If they are prudent and con-
servative and wise the State will 60 on
about as usual. If they are foolish and
blatant and erratic the State will suffer,
and at the next election, which is not
very far Off, the people will bury them
out of sight. Some of them are untried
in the administration of public affairs,
but I prefer to hope and believe they
will act prudently and gradually get a
firm seat in the saddle. They deserve
at least fair trial, and that have no
doubt they will get"
