j Judge Dalgre has furnished on

Judge Dalgre has furnished our
reporter with the following in refer
ence to the recent drowning of Mr.. 7.
b. Ringgold's son Rontb, which sad
event took place last week:
Routh, the eleven-year-old son of
Thomas B. Ringgold, of Jena, Cata-
houla parish, was accidentally drown
ed on Thursday. while attempting to
cross Reinhardt's ferry. The boy,.was
in buggy with friend named Dale.
Young Routh fell out of tue buggy
and before help could come he was
swept away. His body has not yet
been recovered. 1t appears that Mrs.
Ringgold sent her son to look after
some freight that was at Reinhardts
ferry, her husband being absent, when
this sad accident occurred. The lit.
tie fellow had been used to crossing
the creek and no danger was appre.
hended. The mother was nearly
heart-broken by the fad intelligence
Up to the latest news heard, the body
had not been recovered.

THE PAwNBROKER LAW.
A Section About Which Little Is Known-I
Benefits the Pawner

Oficer Proctor, who was recently promoted
from the ranks and made a member of the de-
tective corps, has been put in charge of the
work Of inspecting pawnshops. Detective
Block. speaking Of the law, said there is a Sec
ton Of the law which is generally overlooked
by persons pawning or pledging articles The
Law, he said, provides that pledges must be
kept one year unless by consent in writing Of
the pawner, and all sales are to be made after
SIX days notice in the daily newspapers. Sec
n'r % is the one particularly referred to by
the officer and it provides:
That the surplus money, if any arising from
any such sale, after deducting the amount of
the loan, the interest then due on the same
and the expenses Of the advertisement and sale.
snail De paid over by the pawnbroker to the
person who would be entitled to redeem the
pledge In case no such sale had taken place.
Under this section, said the officer, many
persons are entitled to remittances, but thew
are probably not aware of it. He said he had
required the auctioneers to keep records of
sales so that there could be no mistake about
the matter.

ONYX in Missouri.

When water containing lime in solu-
tion drips into cave upon the ores of
metals it forms with them chemical
combination and produces the exquisite
translucent substance we call Mexican
onyx. If the metallic oxide or ore is
gold then rich purple veins and splotches
appear through the oynx; if silver, then
the cQloring is yellow; if copper, green;
If iron, red. Zinz aud arsenic produce
white.
Ages ago King Solomon mined this
rare onyx in Africa. The deposits there
became exhausted. 1t was found in
modern times at Oberstein, in Germany.
The deposits there failed, too, however.
Then the most beautiful decorative ma
terial known to man cropped out in
America, but in Mexico, rs if scorning a
Yankee republic. For some years Mexi-
co has supplied the world, the splendid
shining blocks of precious value being
cut from the quarries by hand by Indians.
Machinery has not been applied to it
hitherto to any great extent, because the
substance is SO fragile that any force
more violent than that of deft Indian
fingers wonld split it and Iuin it.
Now, however, a flutter OF interest has
been aroused by the announcement that
in Missouri, in Crawford County, in the
Ozark range, inexhaustible quarries of
onyx have-just been discovered within
seventy miles of st. Louis. This is great

would be delightful if this material
should become so cheap that persons OF
moderate means can have little OF 1T in
I their homes. Thus every good thing is
found sooner or later in the United
! Statcs.-Je,oelers' Catalogue.

FOUGHT TO THE LAST.
A Mad Stallion and Jackass, IN
Mercer, Fight a Te' .ible Battle.

LEXINGTON, KY, Feb. 10.-A battle
to the death took place in Mercer coun-
ty, between a valuable saddle stallion
and a jackass, belonging to William
Thomas, stock raiser.
A few days ago mad dog bit Thom-
ass little boy and the stallion. The
horse went mad, and knocking down the
door of the jacks stable commenced
biting him. The jack retaliated, aud
for fifteen minutes they fought, using
their teeth, heels and fore feet. Finally
the jack tore the stallion's left ear with
his teeth and the stallion then bit a
piece from the jacks neck. This SEEM
ed to make the jack more ferocious than
ever, and grabbing the lower part of the
stalliOn's neck in his teeth, he tore out
his wind-pipe. But tho high -mettled
stallion old not give up, and before fall
ing he kicked the Jacks left hind leg,
breaking it just below the hook. He then
fell dead. The jack uttered long, loud
bray and went into his stable. He was
covered with blood aud wounded uuto
death, so that his master killed him TO
put him ont of his misery.
The boy was taken to maidstone.
The stone stuck three times, and he
shows no signs of madness. 1t is believ.
ed he will recover.

STRUCK REV. SAM JONES.
A Texas Mayor Assaults the Evange-
list and Gets the Worst of It.

Sam Jones is now at Palestine, Texas.
He denounced Mayor Ward last year.
The Mayor was not home at the time,
but this year he laid for Jones. Friday
as he was leaving Palestine Ward struck
him with his cane Jones jerked the
cane away and beat the Mayor over the
head and face. Ward tried to draw n
pistol, but was prevented. Jones' Geor-
gia grit pulled him through all right.
The news of the encounteerr suon spread
throughout 'Palestiae. = fter hasty
meeting of citizens, handbills were issued
! calling a mass meeting for the purpose of
condemning the attack of the Mayor.
The act of Mayor Ward is generally de-
nounced, while there is an element aversc
to attacks upon private characters such
as are occasionally made by Sam Jones
in his pulpit zeal. =
Mayor Ward was subsequently arrested
and placed under bonds of aggravated
assault and for carrying pistol The
mayor avows his right to carry weapons,
and declares that he had no intention OF
carrying his resentment further than can
| ing the evangelist.

The Boston Culiuator thinks it strange
that "though Germany is opposed to the
importation of American pork, she
admits our beef. Recent shipments of
dressed beef to Hamburg were we'll re-
.ceived, and sold at remunerative prices.
1t was pronounced much superior to the
Australian beef. The masses in Ger.
many demand cheaper meat. They will
welcome shipments of American beef,
and before long will force the Govern
ment to admit our pork"

Z Collector Phelps, Of San Francisco,
CAL, in testifying before the Con-
gressional Committee, spoke Of the
opium smoking Of the Chinese and of
how they had introduced the habit among
white people. He would have stringent
law against the sale or use OF the drug.
"A now Law would be useless, declares
the Report. The old law aud public
opinion have already greatly reasced the
uss Of opium. We mean that the habit
is not spreading nearly as fast as 1t was.
IL Is vice that cannot be practiced in
secret. The fumes of tho drug are too
penetrating for that, while tho apparatus
y clumsy and not easily carried about OF
concealed. 30 morphine and the syringe
have succeeded opium and the pipe.
, The 1norphine habit is fnghtfully
prevalent and will spread. No con-
gressional committees or laws will stop
It. It seems destined to be the national
vice.
