McMinnViIIe and TuLIahoma.

We notice from the Tullahoma
Guardian Of Wednesday that a public
meeting was held there on the day
before to consider proposition from
Mr.. II. Jacobs to establish a foundry
and machine shop at that place. Mr..
Jacobs was here Thursday. Tullaho-
ma people had told him that there
was little foundry and machine
shop here which was doing no good,
and he could probably buy the MAJ
chinery and tools cheap. Mr.. Jacobs
was very much surprised on his ar
rival here to find the foundry and
machine works of Eastwood Bros &
Carson to be plant worth ten or
twelve thousand dollars, with prep
arations in progress for large extern
sion, which had already been delay
ed for several months simply because
the establishment has been so over
run with orders for their productions
that they have not had time to stop
and make the Improvements.
Mr.. Jacobs had been informed at
Tullahoma that the works here had
not been operated for two years, but
he found that during last year over
three thousand dollars worth of sor-
ghum mills alone had been manufac-
tured here, to say nothing of many
tons of crate bars, CRATES and fronts,
and iron and brass castings of various
kinds. The McMinnville works car
ry in stock more manufactured goods
than the whole value of the plant
proposed to be established at Tulla>
homa. In addition to the large line
of goods already manufactured here,
stove works are to be added. Work
will be commenced in few days on
an extension of the buildings for this
purpose, and a member of the firm
goes to Cincinnati next week to buy
the patterns. We admonish Tulla-
homa people in giving information of
McMinnville to take warning from
the sad fate of Annanias and his
wife. 1t would at least be well for
some people in the windy little city
of Tullahoma to post themselves up
on the extent of McMinnville's
manufacturing enterprises before talk
ing too glibly to strangers in future.
People sometimes do as Mr.. Jacobs
has done-come and see for Them
selves-and then they wonder what
kind Of people live at Tullahoma,
anyway.

CHAPTER VII.
JENKINS RETREAT. .

JENKINS RETREAT.
Amid the sorrows in which Drane was
again involved, he had one consolation
the young woman with thirteen mill
ions evidently felt almost as badly as
he did. &c heard her tell Mrs. Bowers
that the judicial blacksmith on the
bench was simply dreadful"
But this was not the best of it; he
heard Mrs. Bowers reply. Only two
words, indeed, and as irrelevant as are
most feminine utterances in times OF
emergency: "Why, Bessie" was all she
said, or at least all that Drane heard,
but he was more than reioiced. Her
name was Bessie. At last he had some
thing to call her in his thoughts. 1t
was the first hint on the subject. In
lis Joy at this discovery he forgot to re-
greet that he didn't know the other half
of her name. lie watched her pour her
woes into Mrs. Bowers ear, and was
satisfied.
Such spectacle is always entertain
ing. for when a woman has embarrassed
man by making blunder. if she is
not too stupid to see it. nor too proud to
acknowledge it, nor too nervous to know
what she is about, she will sometimes
pity him divinely, if he is reasonably
goodlooking. And If she has begun to
feel little tenderly toward him, she
will often accuse herself unjustly, in
order that she may have the luxury Of
telling herself how sorry she is that she
has put him into difficulty.
That was why Bessie now gazed at
Dranc with such angelic sympathy de-
pictcd upon her beautiful countenance.
had somehow helped to prove that ho
was insane. It was question of the
heart, and in such cases woman never
allows an appeal to the higher tribunal
Of tho mind. So Bessie acted upon her
first impulse and implored Mrs. Bowers
to do something, no matter what it was.
With Mrs. Bowers it was question
neither of the heart nor of the mind, but
Of the conscience. Therefore she de-
cided to be merciless, but just. 1t was
her plain duty to protect Bessie from
impostors, fortune hunters and lunatics;
so she frowned at Drane in way that
gave him chill to supplement the fever
which Bessie's tender glances had put
into his blood.
"Where will they send him now?"
asked Bessie, Shuddering.
Probably to Wards Island, tempo
rarily," replied Mrs. Bowers.
"Will they be good to him there?"
"He will be cared for" said Mrs. Bow
ers, sternly; land fed-to certain ex.
tent"
"Oh, my" cried Bessie, tearfully.
''Can't we take him home with US? You
have been so kind to me that look
upon your house as home now, you
know"
81 couldn't think Of such thing"
Mrs. Bowers said, firmly. Il can not
have lunatic in my house. 1t is all
that can do to look out for YOU"

NAMES GOLD FIELDS.

| The Outlook Considered Remarkably
| Good by Old Miners.
James 3. Stockwell, Of Augusta, Me-.
tells an interesting story in connection
with his visit to this city.
| 81 am here" he said, ito purchase
mining machinery to ship to the Pine
Tree State. That sounds strange, but it
lis fact nevertheless. The finding Of
| gold near Augusta has caused a little
fiutter which will grow into the widest
kind Of excitement when the full extent
of Names hidden wealth is given to the
public. The gold belt is fifteen miles
in width, extending from the Sandy
river to the Androscoggin. In every
mountain quartz rock, much Of it bear
ing gold. is found. This territory has
just been prospected, and the estimate
| Of gold is up in the millions.
The discovery was made by an old
| California miner Of the name of Nor
cross. He has been digging precious
metals for the last fifty years He re-
turned to his Augusta home from the
Black Hills in 1879. While enjoying
his vacation he went out on fishing
trip on the Swift river one day. On the
banks Of the stream he noticed the
signs of gold-black and ruby sand.
which usually follow gold. Then he
threw away his fishing outfit, got a
shovel and basin, and went to work. In
pint of gravel he obtained metal
worth dollar. He said nothing about
this discovery and started for the Black
Hills after certain mining tools He
struck a profitable lead out West and
did not return to Augusta till 1887. He
brought a number of tools with him,
worked secretly, and made about Eve
dollars day. In 1855 he told his friends
Of the gold deposits and they laughed
at him. The idea Of gold in the old
State Of Maine seemed ludicrous. Last
other old Dakota miners, went up the
river some ways and pitched a camp BY
hard work with the pick they each
cleared about two dollars day. For
twenty miles these men prospected and
found good mining ground. No one
ever found any gold but these men, and
the reason it was not discovered before
is that none but old miners are familiar
with this kind of stream mining. Not
long ago NorcroSs and his two friends
cashed in lot of gold at Portland for
nineteen dollars an ounce. This corrob-
GRATED the story told few years ago.
and now the people are moving to the
gold belt The metal is as fine as any
ever taken out Of the ground. The syn
dictate for which l am shipping ma
chinery now proposes to closely develop
the strip, for it has been demonstrated
that the enterprise will more than pay"

one" pointing to Lawrence. when he
was in the sweating room," he con
tinued, The looked just about like any
| body else
There is an individuality in legs, bu,
few men recognize it, not even at
tendantS at baths who have unrestricted
opportunities for observation. The tes
timony of these witnesses made it pref.
| ty clear that Lawrence had left the bath
| with better clothes than he wore when
he entered, but they could do nothing
to clear up the question Of identity.
Then Lawrence requested the priv
lege of examining the plaintiff. This
granted, he confused the fellow in short
order by putting a series of questions
designed to bring out his knowledge of
Kansas City and his familiarity with
the business mission in which he pre-
tended to be engaged. The scale ap-
peared to be turning in Mr.. Drane's
| favor. Justice was still in doubt, how
ever. and the court declared that it
would be necessary to get some direct
| evidence as to the identity of each
claimant to the name Of Drane.
II think, your honor" said the i'm
poster. that the people at my hotel
can satisfy you. l should like to go
there to get my grip and decent suit of
clothes. If was better dressed my
story would sound more likely"
Lawrence smiled grimly at this, for
he knew too well how true it was.
Things had changed. The clothes were
on another mans back and he in turn
was victimized by them.
I'm send an officer with you to the
hotel" said the judge.
just then the angel appeared. 1t was
the young widow whom Lawrence had
met in the park uptown. She was in
court with Mrs. Bowers, assisting that
charitable lady in her work and at the
same time keeping an eye open for her
thieving maid, who might be expected
to turn up at any time among the pris-
oners. During the examination of Law
renee and the impostor she had been
busy with Mrs. Bowers in another part
of the room, and so had not heard a
word of the case. 1t takes an acute ear
TO detect any thing that goes on in a
New York court. even when one stands
beside the judge himself. The young
lady had CHANGED to see Mr.. Drane's
tace, and in spite of the great improve
ment effected on it by the barber and
the radical change in his garb, she rec
ognized him. 1t was not immediate,
and she was not altogether sure. She
whispered excitedly to Mrs. Bowers:
