CHARLESTON, August 2G.-AbOut four
ears ago the people Of Carney, this
onpty, we're surprised by Everett Shaft
Dr. mere boy, declaring that he had
een called by the Lord TO preach the
ospel. and accordingly he applied TO
be church for license to preach, and
h,ained it, and for a short time be was
peularly successful and was admitted
the best society. But II was
o,ired after while that he
ms Inclined TO give too much attention
4, tbe Young women at his protracted
Io.rinrs. lie soon became tired Of
,..,le lie and chose a "better half, a
.ry Questionable character, having at
u. same time the written consent OF
be PARENTS of the three Other girls to
.,errv them. All lived within a Few
lilies of each other and were members
N his church. This, of course, caused
Ionsiderable comment, as the three
ris he had ''jilted" were highly re-
Ioected aud belonged to good families.
Ior a time ShafIner'S domestic happi-
css seemed perfect, but he soon saw
Is star was on the wane and
woke TO find that he had aroused the
|ndlgnation Of mis- best friends, aud to
make matters worse he deserted his
Vie. For while nothing was heard
\ him. but al last IL was aScertalned
hat he had gone TO Mississippi and
narried again.
Ii seems as though his career fol-
owed him, and the parents Of the fair
creole. who now passes as Mrs. Shall
her number >, concluded to send de-
ectiye to Carney, to find out the facts
h the case, which they have since done,
md Mr.. Shaffner Will be prosecuted 10

Der the officers got out Of the wagon on
boz of a high rough hill, almost within
Sight of the house where they expected
io find the alleged rObber, they heard
the old man calling to his horses 70
stop. Turning about they saw the team
was running away and going down the
bill at an alarming pace. Fearing that
the old man might be in danger, they
burned back and followed the runaway
team and came up 10 them about half
inile below. The horses had
upset the wagon and broken
loose. The old man was lying under
the wagon, unconscious and bleeding
terribly from wounds on the head and

CARS GONE AsTRAY.
What Keeps an Important Railroad Func-
tionary Busy.

What Keeps an Important Railroad Func-
tionary Busy.
j. d. Waters, of Columbus, o., the lost
car agent of the Columbus. Shawnee &
Hooking Railway. travelled more than TO-
900 miles during November in search of lost
cars, says the New York Journal. There
was a time when some missing cars were
never found, as they were repainted and
claimed by other roads, but this practice
has been abandoned.
Mr.. Waters related an interesting story of
a car which he was after at intervals for
over a year before it was finally recovered.
During that time he saw it in Jersey City,
Columbia, S. c.; Atlanta, Ga; Admission.
Ala; St. Louis, and Dodge City. He
finally got it at Detroit and sent it home.
The revenue derived rom a car on another
road is three-tourths of cent per mile, and
the average earnings per day of this car
during its travels was 18 cents. The car
was worth to the company that owned it $15
day. The road ON which the car is stunning
is supposed to keep it in good repair, but it
frequently happens that when car finally
reaches home it must be furnished with new
wheels before it can be sent out again.
Mr.. Waters said that when some roads get
a stray car in the Southern trade they keep
it there, regardless of where it belongs, and
it,is very difficult to recover 1t.

Extincuishing Inc ipient Fire.

It is the opinion of experts that much of
the money which is spent by factories, mills
and stores on the introduction of pipes and
valves for fire extinction might be saved by
the adoption of much simpler and more
efficient method. Both sulphur and ammo
MIA are we'll adapted for extinguishing fire.
Sulphur absorbs oxygen and forms sulphuric
acid, the fumes of which are much heavier
than air. The quantity required would be
small, since 20 grammes Of sulphur can make
100 cubic metres of air inimical to combus-
tion. An effective sulphur extinguishing
apparatus can be made of large iron box
of moderate depth and open at the top. 1t
should be hinged at one end or the side to
protected ceiling, and kept close thereto
BY a cord or wire connected with wire or
strap formed chiefly of cadmium fusible at
144o Fahrenheit. Inside the box is placed
considerable quantity of cotton wadding,
we'll saturated with powdered sulphur. On
the heat of an incipiens fire melting the
wire or strip, the box drops short distance;
by simple device the cotton wadding is
ignited at the same moment, and q strong
cloud of sulphurous acid gas is instantly
evolved. which extinguishes the fire by rem
dering the air unfit for combustion.

A New Illusion on the Stage.

Quite a new description of stage illusion
has been originated by Wander Weyje, ths
eminent London photographer. 1t consists
in so placing photograph as to give the
effect OF piece of statuary when seen on the
stage. Mr.. Wander Weyde is now engaged
on a commission which he received from .
prominent London theatrical manager. A
piece is to be produced at this managers
theater very shortly, and group of statuary
is required for the production. No leading
sculptor could be induced to undertake the
task of supplying it within the time avail
able. It was found that mere modelling in
plaster OF paris would be unsatisfactory, and
the manager escaped from his dilemma BY
engaging Mr.. Wander Weyde to prepare the
figures. 1t is stated that the illusion is 30
wonderful that the onlooker refuses to be-
lieve that the shadow projected is anything
