mites from here, was IN the cit, to-day
and tells of Il horrible accident which
happened to Mr.. Bob Sharp, Il white
man. and Il negro by the name of
EChOlS, both OF that place. Sharp, it
seems, was engineer for the manutac-
turing company. and when the mill
WAS started up saturday it was found
that the pumps would not work. Sharp
and his fireman, Echoles, decided to go
down III the we'll and repair it. They
sent to Athens for tn" necessary ma
tcrial. and Monday morning went
down. While they were at work and
without any warming signs whatever.
the well commenced caving in and the
two mcn Mere soon hiduru from sight
by rlnIS of dirt. The condition OF the
two nvH MAS soon observed by parties
near the well and news of the accident
spread rapidly over the county. Neigh

SILVER UP TO-DAY

A SUDDEN CHANGE OF PROGRAMME
THE REASONS FOR IT.
Chairman Conger of the House Com
mittee on Coinage, Weights aud
Measures gave out yesterday that he
would call his committee together some
time this week for the purpose of
considering the Senate amend.
ments to the House Silver bill.
The impression he created was that the
committee would not be called 10
meet before the latter part Of the week
Undoubtedly this was his intention. A
rumor to the effect that the soundness
Of the committee, from the gold
standard point of view, was widely cir
culated last night and found some ere.
dence.
Whether this rumor tended to hasten
matters Is not known. BE that rs Il
may, the Committee on Rules met at an
early hour this morning and issued or
ders that the Silver bill should be re-
ported back TO the House 10 day. Mr.
Conger called his committee to.
gether hastily. Though the manner
was somewhat informal the action
was formal. A majority Of the com
mittee agreed to report the bill back
with a recommendation that the Senate
amendments be non.Concurred in and q
conference be asked. The minority
will recommend a concurrence II is
expected that the recommendation Of
the majority will be adopted.
The bill will then 60 at once 90 con.
ference, as the Senate has been fixed
for prompt action. 1t Is expected that
the compromise measure the conferrecs
will svbmlt win provide for the com.
pulsory coinage of $4,000, 900 a month.
Bullion redemption will be dropped,
The legal tender clause, applicable to
silver certificates, will probably remain.
This would add S54 900 900 a year to
the circulating currency Of the country,
and would Just about absorb the output
Of the silver mines Of this country. In
this shape Il Is expected the President
would either append his autograph to
the act or permit II TO become a law
without his signature. II the pro
gramme now decided upon by the
leaders Is carried out without hitch,
the measure will be passed through both
Houses this week and be laid before
the President for his action or non
action.

But charges Against other OHioers
VIII LIKELY be Pressed.
Commissioner Douglass was not at
the District building to-day and con
sequently no advance was made in the
police investigation. Lieutenant Cess
ford was closeted with Commissioner
Robert for several hours and had the
good luck to obtain a dismissal of the
charges against him. The Commissioner
assured him that after a full investiga-
tion that the charges were without
foundation, and completely eXonerated
him. He took occasion at the same
time to compliment Lieutenant Cess
ford in having so easily vindicated
himself.
The charges against the other lieuten-
ants have notyet been put in charge, nor
will they be until Commissioner Doug.

meeting Of the board. Had it not been
for the accident which befell him, the
charges would have been made out
yesterday, and the trial of Lieutenant
Guy, who It is understood, will be the
first one tried, began tomorrow. It
will probably be the latter part Of the
week before anything is done in the
case.
Lieutenant Vernon, who it is said as
sisted Colonel Robert in his invistiga-
ton, was at the District building for q
long time yesterday, but denied that it
was upon any business connected with

HORSE FLESH As FOOD
~ Resembics Buil Beef and Tastes
Something Lire Hare.

ffom he Nine'lbuH C,HoHV.
Physically, horse beef may be disiin-
guished from beef or mutton by It's ap-
pearance. u IS coarser in the grain
than beef In this respect it resembles
the bull beef more than any other. It
is darker in color and looks more moist
than beef 1t has q peculiar smell and
peculiar sweetness of taste Its flavor
is generally considered to be halfway
between the Gavors Of beef and game.
II is something like the flavor Of hare.
One reason why horse flesh is as a
rule, darker in color than beef Is that
horses which are poieaxed, or which
have died from injury, disease or old
age, are not properly bled and dressed
by the slaughterer. 10 Is, however, by
its fat that horse flesh is most easily dis
tinCuished.
The fat Of horsenesh is not generally
mixed with lean, 1t is yellow In color.
II looks more moist than the fat of
beef, II soon melts and soon becomes
rancid. Consequently, unless a rapid
sale is effected or the fat removed an
advanced price must be charged in or
der to secure the butcher from loss on
unsold meat
Lastly, horse flesh can be distin-
guished from beef by is chemical char
aCteristics, and it is in this way that Il
may be recognized when mixed with
other substances Who can tell, except
the chemist, what ase the component
parts of a sausage, polony or saveloy2
Or who can tell by taste what these
parts are? We do not Judge by taste,
we judge by flavor, and In the making

TIE STORY OF A HOUSE
Built for n Bride who Died on the
Eve Of Her wedding,


Eve OF Her wedding,
There Is in New York, says the
Ladies Home Journal upon one Of the
most fashionable thoroughfares, mag
nifcent house-yea, It is veritable
palace-which can never be looked at
by the sentimental woman without q
tear coming to her eve because Of the
story attached TO it.
It was designed and built by one Of
the richest men in New York-the head
of an old Dutch family-for the woman
he loved. Throughout the whole house,
which might have been called The
House Beautiful were the colors,
furnishings, ornaments and dainty
touches that were the young brides
taste. The ballroom, in which she eX-
rected 10 trip so many merry measures,
was walled and Celled in many colOred
marbles, but the lover himself directed
the building Of the poyte c0cbere under
which her carriage was TO roll, so that,
stepping out she would not be touched
by drop of rain or a flake of snow.
Everything was ready. The horses
were paving In the stable, waiting for
the day to come when they would carry
their new mistress out; the Coachman
and The footman bad their big white
roseties at hand to wear on the wedding
day; the house was full Of fragrance,
for beautiful flowers were massed to
please the coming mistress, and every.
thing seemed to be In harmony with
this thoughtful, loving care, for the
sun shone bright, aud It was some
body's wedding day. Yes, but Il
wasn't an earthly wedding, for when,
with quick footsteps, her mother went
to wake the expoctant bride she found
her dead
The last kiss she had given had been
given TO her lover the night before.
The last kiss he ever gave any human
being he gave 10 her as she rested in her
coffin. But he lives on in the beautiful
house and does with his great fortune a
good deal Of good, all In the name of
the woman he loved. The shutters are
never opened In that wonderful house.
the carriage has never been used, no
feet have danced In the ballroom, but
Il and the solitary man are there as evi.
denCes Of the fact that love can so
completely fill the heart that all life Is
nothing without It.

EPISODE OF THE HAT.
How n Pretty Woman Won a Vote OF
Thanks in n Theatre.
From 10 PHILADELPHIA PJOs.

From ns Philadelphia Prsss.
A stately and handsome example Of
the wellbred young lady attended
theatrical first night last week and oc
cupied, with her escort, seats In the
third row Of the orchestra. She was so
fair TO look upon that large share Of
the audience watched her as she went
down the aisle and settled gracefully In
a chair.
IL was then observed, with much In
tCrcst, that she raised her arms and de-
tackled from her head the fashionable
hat that became her so we'll. Her hair
was bright golden, and under the lights
Il fairly ia shed In its beauty.
The old gentleman sitting behind
her settled back comfortably in his
chair and congratulated himself that he
had been placed behind such thought
ful creature, for now he could not only
see the stage, but q splendid head of
hair as well.
Presently two OF three young women
In the immediate vicinity quietly re-
moved their hats, having noted the
admiration that the originator of the
scheme had excited.
From this the movement spread until
hatless feminine heads were discover.
able all over the theatre, even TO the
rear rows of the circle. Between the
acts a paper began 10 circulate among
the people In the orchestra.
Each gentleman, as he received II,
read something that had been written
on Il, and then smilingly signed his
name, after which he passed II 10 his
immediate neighbor
In a few moments the paper came
back 10 the old gentleman that had
started IL on its travels, Bending for
ward he politely addressed the golden
haired girl, handing to her al the same
time the paper. She read II, and as she
did so a deep blush and a smile crept
over her face. The paper was a vote Of
thanks, signed by thirty or more Of the
male spectators. Its text was as fol-
lows:
I'VE, the undersigned, desire 10 ex-
press our respectful admiration for a
most beautiful and considerate young
lady, name not known, who, by re-
moving her hat from her bright golden
head, has set the fashion for others,
thereby rendering Il possible for de
lighted audience 10 witness the details
Of a stage performance.
The pretty girl cast a radiant smile
over her shoulder at the old gentleman
behind, and, folding the paper tucked
il into the front Of her dress by the
side Of a bunch Of pansies. Aud
everybody was very happy.
