Shot the Horse. 70 End the Runaway

Shot the Horses 60 End the Runaway.
Deputy Marshal Tom Smith has re-
turned from the territory and tells Of a
thrilling experience of his few nights
ago. he and Deputy Marshal Booker
were driving across the prairie between
midnight aud day. In crossing ditch
Booker, who was driving, pitched head
first over the dashboard on the ground,
The horses became frightened and ran.
Smith was in the buggy helpless. as the
lines had fallen outside He had no
knowledge Of the country and did not
know what moment he would go over a
precipice or into a barbed wire. He was
afraid to jump lest he should break his
neck or a limb. SO he leveled his Win
chester and began firing at the horses,
and three or four shots brought them
down. The horses cost Smith $50 apiece,
but he got the man he started after

II is promised that ii VIII not be long
before a certain small town in Belgium
IS lighted by electricity. Itappears that
thirty years ago the municipality entered
into a contract with the local gas com
pany for the public lighting of the town
Al wxs agreed that the price should be
fixed az s. .009 per annum. the contract
to exist Cor fifty-fye years. Thus the
agreement remains good for another
twenty-five years. The municipality,
seeing around cheaper gas and more
desirable light in the form of the electric
Ight, have come 10 the conclusion that
they are decidedly at disadvantage.
They say that the price which was con
s,dered Just when the contract was made
should now be reduced, as It Is excessive
when compared with other towns where
only 81 900 per amman is paid for the
same amount of light.
As the gas company refuses to reduce
its price, complaints regarding defective
lighting. which had previously been per
Enitted 10 pass unnoticed, are now nu-
merous. the inhabitants entering hearth
Is into the spirit Of the situation. Ac-
c0rding TO the latest accounts the gas
company had fallen on troublous times
The municipality had made up Its mind
that IL it could not get the gas at a rea-
eonable rate it would secure it at low
one. and possibly make a profit on the
bargain.
The method adopted is decidedly rigor-
ous. For every gas Jet below the con
tract candle power a fine of forty cents
Is imposed; Tor each square Of glass not
properly cleaned, fine of ten cents; a
broken glass. ten cents, and for a lamp
extinguished a caution first and fine
afterward. The campaign Is affording
immense qualification to The Inhabitants
of that quiet little town. which bas eel

of a sensation. and the gas company
seems destined either t. make a speedy
change of front or give up its contract

Quite a strange freak of lightning was
witnessed at the home Of Mr. William
Henry Morton in Athens During the
rainstorin thst came up about noon a
fash Of lightning struck the rod over the
house, melting it instantly. The cur
rent was not content with this, but leaped
TO the tin gutter and melted it all around
the house, pouring the molten metal IN
heavy streams to the ground below. The
lightning then flashed through one corn
er Of the house, paid visit to the people
in the room below, ran out along an iron
pipe to a tin basin on the back piazza and
melted it completely, and followed an

work Of the house was very slight, but
all Of the metal with which it came in
contact was melted.-Atlanta Constitu-

GREEN FURNITURE NOW.

White and Gold Has Had Its Day and
People Are Glad of 1t.
New York Ttmes.i
1t is being hinted that white furniture
has quite had its day-a long one it has
been. too-and the coming tint for screens,
tables. cabinets, and even fauteuils will be,
is indeed, green. There is something un-
compromising about the color, which would
seem not to be decorative; on the contrary,
the new designs wrought in this hue are
exceedingly effective. The finish is a
varnish instead Of an enamel, which is q
gain in wear and in the care needed.
The white and gold apartments fash
ionable for several seasons past, have
proved solicitous luxuries to those who have
lndulged in them. One maid has to be de-
tailed for their exclusive care, and the
temperature and amount of light duly regu-
lated to secure the retention of their purity
and freshness. Then they are SO unbecom-
ing for ordinary use-ought really to be
peopled only BY lovely creatures in ball
gowns of delicate tints.
