A COSTLY NECKLACE.

One Worth 325o,o0o to Be Worn by an
English Brewers Wife.
The beer people Of England have
mints of money, says New York Truth.
They have put two score millions into
the brewing business Ia this country.
and don't seem to miss it. The GUM
ness people have been wealthy for two
or three generations, and when they
turned their brewery into stock com
pany they became richer still. The
wife Of one Of the great brewing fam
lily has just given an order for new
necklace that, even with unlimited
credit and the greatest industry, can
not be finished for several years, be-
cause, in the first place, the best old
mine stones are very scarce, and, sec
ondly, because she has stipulated that
every diamond in the necklace must be
a perfecb match. 1t is to be very
elaborate pattern and will cost $780, ,00e.
Just now the fashionable ornaments
in Paris are little gold or silver towers
of Eifel with a diamond on top to
represent the electric light. A Paris
jeweler has one in his window that at
tracts crowds all day long, and is al
most as much an object of popular curl
osity as tie famous tower itself. This
one is an exact copy of the iron struct-
ure, made in silver and covered with
diamonds, with a huge diamond at the
top which is set on.a spring, apd as ii
ouivers shoots out long rays of colored
light. There are 10000 small diamonds
set into the silver frame. OF course
it can not be used for any thing; and
must eventually be broken up and the
diamonds used in some other way, but
it has nctted the jeweler in advertise
ment far more than he paid for worS-
manShiD upOn it.

Am Extraordinary Scene.

a reporter witnessed an extraordinary
scene in the vicinity of Biddleville, n.
C. In front of a small cabin a pulpit
had been erected. Ia this stood negro
preaching" at the top of his voice.
There was no one except the reporter and
the preacher near, and the former stood
and listened, but was not noticed by the
speaker. On inquiry it was found that
the preacher was Robert Bell, Two
years ago he was fired from the pastorate
of the Presbyterian church at BiddleVllle
because he would 60 into his church
barefooted. He was warned against
this offense and needing it not, one Sun
day, as ne attempted to ascend his pull
pit shoeless, half dozen good, pious
6eacons seized him and fired him from
the church. On that day Bell declared
that he would preach :hree times every
day in bis own yard, and he does it,
although no one goes to hear him.-Aa-

A SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
a Nan Struck by Cow Thas Had Bees
HoiSted by locomotive.

Hoised by locomotive.
One Of the most peculiar accidents in
the annals OF railroading occurred on
Conductor VOLTS train No. So Of the
Georgia Pacific recently says the Biz
mingham Age-Herald. About two miles
west of Linden a couple of men stood on
the siding waiting for the train to go
by so they could resume their weary
tramp along the tracks. Just as the
train reached that point COW stepped
on the track, was struck by the pilot
and hurled into the air. AS the body
fell it struck one Of the men.
The animal, which was in the tAroes
of death, fell squarely on top of the
tramp. and later, when the train was
stopped and backed to the scene OF the
accident, the unfortunate mans conpan-
ion was found endeavoring to drag the
body of his chum from under the strug-
Cling carcass. In this ne was quickly
assisted BY the trainnea and tAs RaaS
fellow was put in the baggage-car and
brought to this city, where his injuries
were attended to by DR.. Page. His
wounds, though not serious, were ex-
tremely painful, and consisted Of a num-
Der Of cuts and bruises about the head,
face and body.
At the time that the trainmen came
to his rescue the young man was tnsen-
sible and would doubtless have been
killed had it not been for the speedy
relief from his terrible predicament.
On the train he was recognized as Claude
Huston, lad Of nineteen or twenty,
the son of a prominent and influential
physician of Clarksville, Ga. He has
been away from home number OF
months, and his parents will come for
him. He wishes now he had never run

MORE TROUBLE FOR MRS. MORRIS.

Mr.. Morris's Will to be Contested By His
Relatives and the Life Insurance Com
pnny.
REIDsv1LLE, n. c., January 3O.-As
was we'll known, there was more at stake
in the trial of Mrs. Morris, charged with
causing the death of her husband by
chloroform, than the mere conviction or
acquittal of the fair prisoner. There is
the large estate of Mr. Morris bequeath-
ed in his will to his wife, and aS1e, 900
insurance policy on his life, also payable
to Mrs. Norris. The acquittal of the
prisoner, OF course, throws all this into
her hands; whereas, had she been con-
victed, the will of her husband would
have been null and void This is the
home of Mrs. Morris and it is in this
thriving town where most of the proper
ty mentioned in the will of Mr.. Morris is
located. 1t is learned tonight that
there will be several lawsuits over the
matter, and there is more interest in
store for the pretty Widow Morris.
Relatives of the dead man will contest
his will, on the ground of undue iDdu-
ence on the part of Mrs. Morris in in
ducing her husband to make its proVi-
sions n her favor. The Mutual Bene-
fit Life Insurance Company Of New
York announce that they will fight the
case till judgment dag before they will
pay over the ten thousand dollar policy

TWO GOTHAM pRoMl0S.
Wonderful Resemblance Between Couple
of Twin Rcothars.

I.
In ali probability the most startling:
case of personal resenblan is that
which exists between the twin brothers,;
Meyer and John Goldsmith, sons Of
Maurice Goldsmith, a wellknoWn tobac-,,
co merchant Of s4a East Eightieth street,,
New York. The record of the odd mis-,
takes made by intimate friends, owing,
to their resemblance, is long one.
Meyer Goldsmith is the head cutter at
the Broadway tailoring establishments
Of the Jacobs Brothers, and his twin
brother, John, is foreman OF large
cigar mandatory at Boston. These
twin brothers are twenty-three years Of !
age and we're born in New York City. !:
John is married and has lived in Bos-.
ton for about two years. He came home,
last week without sending any word OF,
his intended visit, and entered the pa
rental residence about the time that
Meyer was due.
His good m5ther greeted John as
Meyer, and was little surprised at an
unusual display Of affection.

Allen, of Mississippi, has told more
stories since the opening OF Congress
than Billy Mason, our story telling man
from the Third District of Illinois. One
of his best stories was dropped the other
night at Chamberlin's. Half a dozen
congenial spirits we're seated together at
table, and one thing and another led
Allen 10 reel Uff full dozen of stories.
The last one was about his Tupeio con-
stituent, Bill! Brown. Bill is an old far
mer who owns half the marshes around
Aliens native city. A year ago he
bought young bull from lawyer who
is shrewd fellow and known through
out Aliens district.
:..Brown wasn't quite sure of his bar
gain" saiu Allen, $50 every time the
lawyer went that way he hedged so
much that the lawyer grew extravagant
in his praise"
Il tell you, Brown" said he, as ne
rode by the farmhouse, "that's the finest
animal in this whole country. ia ride
any time two miles out Of my way just

the farmer.
"Wcll, if was selling it today 1
wouldn't ie: it go for a cent less than
$3.50. Us worth that, and I congrstu-
late you upon shaving me so neatly"
Bill Brown felt pretty good over tHs
bull, and every time he saw the lawyer
they talked about 1t, the lawyer always
repeating that he would not sell 1t for
less than $3.50.
The lawyer iu the meantime had be-
come counsel for Mississippi railroad
and had to appraise and settle all dill
cuities for the corporation.
One day as he sat in his Office, loulsh

Ouposcd TO Subsidies.

CHARLESTON, S. c., January 30
The resolution adopted by the execu-
tive committee Of the chamber Of COM
merce, on Saturday last, indorsing the
measure now before Congress to pay
tonnage subsidies to American built
ships, has caused considerable excite
ment here. 1t is extremely doubtful
if the chamber will approve the action
of it's committee, and it is also ex-
tremely improbable that the states
representatives in Congress will accede
to the request made by them, and
support the measure. The tendency
of public opinion in this city and state
is opposed to subsidies of all kinds.

THE TRUTH COMES OUT
About the Mysterious Crime in North Car
olina.

About the Mysterious Crime in North Car
olina.
RALEIGH, n. c., January 30.-Sat-
urday night, just before midnight,
there was very mysterious murder at
Naxton, in 2obeson county. It was
committed in the heart Of The town
near bright light, and many people
were only fifty yards away standing on
a platform at the depot awainga train.
Suddenly three pistol shots were heard
in very rapid succession, but there
was no other noise. The crowd ran
to the place where the shots were
heard, and there found Croatan In
dian lying beside store dying. a
pistol bullet had struck him just above
the heart. His only words were
''pick me up" In a minute he was
dead. His name is not known. It was
the belief that he was assassinated by
some negro, and he has fed, it is ru-
mored.
Today the mystery was revealed,
and a very sensational affair made
known. 1t was Sim Lowry, son of
once notorious outlaw, Steve Lowry,
who was shot and killed, and his
slayer was Donahoe Mcqueen, a night
watchman. Lowry's father was one
of the celebrated Lowry gang of out
laws, which was exterminated in
Robson county twenty years ago,
after it's members had led a desperate
career of robbery and murder. 1t is
said that Mcqueen fred the shot that
killed Steve Lowry, the outlaw, and
that Sim Lowry, then boy, swore to
aveoge the death Of his father. He
was at Maxten last Saturday night
drinking, and following Mcqueen
attempted to assassinate him with
knife, whereupon Mcqueen shot
and killed him to save his own life.
Mcqueen is white man, and is said
to be g good citizen. The man he
killed belonged to the tribe of Croatou
Indians, fifteen hundred of whom live
in Robson county. McQueen's and
Lowry's bodies have been taken to
Lumberton. Mcqueen has acknowl-
edged the killing and surrendered
himself.

Captain Gooding says he left irons at
the missionary station at Ruk, Irons
having accompanied him there on the
return voyage of the missionary boat.
When they arrived the missionaries were
greatly surprised to see Irons, for they
had heard report of his death at the
hands of the savsges in December, 1878.
The party also met ct one of the islands
in the Ruk lagoon Harry Chisholm,
who was at one time shipmste OF
Irons. He was surprised to see Irons
alive, having heard the report of his
death.
From information gathered by Cap
tain Gooding it appears that both these
men were at one time together in yes
sci trading among the islands. This
may be the ship chartered at Brisbane
that Lancelet Irons refers to'in his let
ter. One feature Of the trading carried
on by the vessel was the kidnapping of
natives from the Caroline and Northern
groups to the Fiji and other islands. It
was during trip of this kind among.
the New Guinea islanders that the fight
occurred which led TO tne report Oh
Irons's death.
The business was broken up by men
of-war ten or twelve years ago, since
when Irons has lived a savage life at Po-
7eat.
Chisholm, who is Irish by birth, has
lived in about the same condition. he
is man of influence 10 one OF the three
tribes of natives inhabltiug a large
mountainous island in the Ruk lagoon.
This lagoon is about thirty miles in cir
cumference, and contains seven or eight
islands. Captaiu Goodiug thinks Irons
would like to return to civilization II
his future support were assured. He
will write to London to that effect, and
will say that a letter addressed ca c
Rev. Mr.. Smelling, missionary station,
Ruk, will probably reach Irons without
unnecessary delay.
