Quite an excitement was caused by a
pistol shot fired in the rear of Froboese
& Santleben's Office last night. 1t was
noticed that the safe was open, and a
large crowd gathered about the place ex-
pecting to catch a warm sensation of
| another safe cracking affair. The safe

ing of value. 1t is thought that negro
| in the rear of the building was passing

The latter part of last week, Officers
Lentz and Battle picked up a suspicious
negro, with a bundle of harness in his
possession. He gave his name as Jas.
Rose. The parties from whom the har-

from yet. On his person, he had a num-
| Der of pawn tickets for several articles
upon which he had realized some cash.
He is still held by the authorities.

An exchange thus speaks of an auto
matte switch alarm by A. w. Burns, of
Louisiana: THE invention, If put into
practice, will do away with trains crash
ing through open bridges or switches.
The de vice consists of battery to be
stored in the engineers cab on train,
having wire connections with a street
bush. At a mile or two miles from a
switch or bridge wire carried from the
telegraph poles to the track and thence to
the bridge or switch makes the connec-
ton. Should the bridge or switch be open
a current is transmitted and the gong in
the engineers cab warns him of danger.
II all is intact no alarm is sounded. The
continuance is being used on northern
roads and is found to be practicable"

Wrong End First.

Mr.. George X. Drane, of this city,
who is holding a position at Lock,
No. 6, concluded a few evenings
since to call upon lady friend at
Salvisa, so procuring buggy, he
started on his journey. He had to
cross the river, and as the ferryman
was opposed to going out after night
George undertook to set himself
across. He drove the horse on the
boat, took hold of the oars, or large
sweeps, used in propelling the craft,
and pulled away manfully until he
felt the boat touch the bank when he
made it fast and started to lead the
horse off. To his surprise he found
that he had landed the boat hind end
foremost, and could not back the
horse off of it and up the steep bank.
The night was dark, it was raining
hard, and work as he might he could
not get the unwieldy craft around, so
he had to recross the river, walk
through the mud up long hill,
wake up the ferryman and get him
to set him across the river. After
bribing the old fellow with the
promise of quart of the best to be
found in that section, George went
on his journey, but somehow the
whole thing leaked out and now the
boys engaged upon the works are
making it right lively for him.

clothes, start the fire, and the ma
chine does the rest. 1t abolishes the

ton:
Col. E. G. Went, for so many years
Chief Clerk in the educational de.

Sept. 7th, be out of employment
He has been at that desk continuous
ly for seventeen years, and in that
building continuously nearly twenty
years, and in that time not q single
mistake has been detected in his
work He is probably the finest
statistician this State has ever pro-
duced, and has been more successful
In accomplishing accurate results by
short and expeditions methods than
any CLERICAL expert in the West. The
apportionment tables for the school
fund made out by him excel in COM
prehensiveness and economy any
thing Of the kind yet invented.
His skill in these things, together
with a marvelously plain and beauti-
full handwriting. make his work
worthy the attention Of the admirers
of the fine arts. With all this, his
professional attachments are not
superior to his social qualifications.
He is a gentleman and a scholar, q
man of close business habits, and has
q heart as broad in it's affections as
the universe.

A Narrow Escape.

After Oficer Frank Egbert went of
duty and was returning home Tues

trotting quietly along and he paid no
attention to it, but as he attempted to
pass it the animal snapped at him,
catching his pants leg in it's teeth but
did not break the skin. The officer,
seeing that the dog gave evidence OF
being affected with rabies, imme-
diately shot it and threw the carcass
into the river.
