the most skillful hand cannot measure
a powder charge to the nicely of a
grain, more or less.
The increased pressure causes an in
creased velocity of the missile, and as
by far the largest number of cartridges
will be trifle irregular in weight, the
produced pressure and the actual We
locity of each bullet will differ With
such material craftsmanship would be-
come farce, and an infantry body
forced to use it might as well throw

pressure of 10000 pounds per square

extraordinary velocity of over 1000 feet
per second were obtained. Taking into
consideration that the full charge of 1870
pounds ordinary powder with pressure
of ut least $4,000 pounds to the square
inch would not have given more than
1,750 or 1880 feet velocity, it would
seem that this smokelcss powder has
some good qualities.
Our government should follow the
example of foreign powers and estab-

charge of skilled chemists, who might
study the smokeless powder question
thoroughly.
The French smokeless powder has

moved to the western part of the state,
where he began the nursery business.
The present chief of horticulture went
from here to Kentucky university,
where his education was completed.
When 81 years old he established the
Louisiana nurseries at Shreveport, La,
remaining there until 1874, when he re-
turned to Kentucky and secured a one
half interest in the Mississippi Valley
nurseries owned by his father. This
interest he still holds, and he has also
established fruit orchards in the states
of Mississippi, Florida, California and
Tennessee, at one time having 100 acres
of Strawberries alone. Mr.. Samuels has
been horticulturist all his life, devot-
ing his time to growing and dealing in
fruits, trees, plants and flowers In
following these pursuits, he has visited
every state in the union except two,
has spent some time in principal horti-
cultural centers of Europe, and has be-
come familiar with the details of near
ly every branch of fruit growing. The
firm of which he was member eX-
hibited extensively at the New Orleans
exposition, and obtained 35 premiums,
and gold and silver medals. Mr.. Sam
uels is earnestly working to advance
the horticultural interests and exhibits
at the fair, and has already obtained
important concessions, which have in
creased the area to be devoted to the
outdoor plants and flowers.

the majestic height of forty-five feet.
The shaft, single stone of granite. is
thirty feet in length, and is probably
the largest single-stone shaft in the
state. The total weight of the monu-
ment is sixty tons, and the shaft alone
weighs twenty tons.
1t was erected upon plot of ground
belonging to the Grubb family and on
the polished die is the inscription. The
cap is ornamcnted with n graceful
monogram of the family. The light
ming struck the arras, or angle, within
foot of the pyramidal top and then
passed down the monument in a zigzag
line, bleaching the stone as it went. till
it reached the plinth, or second base,
where it stopped and all vestige of IL
ceased. The decolorizcd stripe is about
thrce-quarters of an inch in width and
is extremely regular from end to end.
In passing through the cap it dcviated
slightly from its course and passed the
monogram very closely, but leaving it
aninjurcd.
The most peculiar part of this cleo
trical freak is that the stone is perfect
~ sound, and no sign of crack or burn
exists anywhere upon it's surface.
Though the black mica distributed
through the rock is entirely bleached,
there is no sign of fusion having taken
place. and the quartz and feldspar 1.-THE

THE ATKINS CASE.
Judge Blair Dismisses the Ar
tachments.
ROANOKE TINES BUREAU,
nuApD g, PERSINGER BLDG,

SALEM, VA, Nov. "a.
Tho following vacation proceedings OF
Roanoke county circuit court were held
to-day before Judge Blair:
On the 3rd day of November three at
tachments were issued from the Clerks
office against j. E. Atkins, tho pro-
nrietor of the Brunswick Cafe, and
Others, by C. w. Lord s. Co. for the
sum of Sia3; by James L. Barbour IL
Son against J.. r. Atkins and Thomas
Forsythe, partners, for the sum OF $500;
bv James l.. Barbour g. Son against j.
e. Atkins, doing business as u a. AtKlns.
for the sum of S322.21.
Notice was served that motion 10
ouash these attachments would DC maoe
on the 14th of November before Judge
Blair, on the grounds that same were
sued out and issued upon false sugges.
tions and without sufficient cause, ana
that the said attachments were Invalid
on their face. On the 14th inst, by mo-
ton OF plaintiffs, the cases were contln-
ued until the oath of November. Col.
Logan appeared for Atkins, and Messrs.
Griffin and Glasgow, William Simpson
and Col. Hansbrough for the plaintiffs.
After hearing the testimony OF w. "A.
Glasgow, A. c. Maddox and William
Simpson for plaintiffs, and j. q. Atkins,
Robert Coleman and w. FL. Wade for
the defense, the court decided that the
evidence was not sufficient to sustain
the attachments, and hence all were
dismissed. 1t is now probable that
suit for damages may be instituted.

ever, that the roof was consumed and
the interior completely gutted before 1t
could be put ont. A large portion Of
the furniture was destroyed, besides
