The train, which was running at high
rate Of speed at the time Of the accident,

FORCE AT q KISSING BEE.
4 Southern Husband Stands Up for
His Pretty Wife.

His Pretty Wife.
Back in the North Carolina mount
aims the student OF customs may still
find materias for researches, says the
Washington Post. The most unique
are the kissing games, which still cling
to the soil. A lot Of big-limbed, pow
erful young men and appled-eheeked
buxom girls gather and select one of
their number as master of ceremonies.
He takes his station in, the center of
the room, while the rest pair off and
parade around him. Suddenly one
young woman will throwup her hands
and say:
Il am a-pinin'."
Themaster Of ceremonies takes it up
and the following dialogue and inter-
l0cution takes place:
Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp saws
she's a-pinin'. What is Miss Arabeila
Jane Apthorp a-pinin' fur?"
m a-plnin' fur a sweet kiss"
Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp says
she's a-pinin' fur a sweet kiss. Who
is Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp arpinin'
fur a sweet kiss fr,lm?"
''Hm a-pinin' fur sweet kiss frum
Mr.. Hugh Waddle." (Blushes, convul-
sive giggles and a confusion on the part
OF Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp at this
forced confession.) Mr.. Hugh Waddle
walks up manfluly and relieves the
fair Arabella's "pinin'" by smack
which sounds like a 3-year-old steer
drawing his hoof out Of the mud.
Then a young man will be taken with
g. sudden and unaccountable ttpinin',"
which after the usual exchanges of
questions and volunteered informa-
tion reveals the name of the maiden,
who causes the agnawin'" and etpin-
lnT." She coyly retreats out doors,
only to be chased, overtaken, captured
and forcibly compelled to relieve her
captors distress.
At one of these entertainments
which it was the narrators fortune to
attend, there was a remarkable beau
tlful young woman who had been mar
red' about a month. Her husband
was present, a huge, beetle-b -browed,
black-eyed mountaineer, with a fist
like ham. The boys fought shy of
the bride for fear of incurring the an
ger Of the hulking spouse. The game
went on for some time, when symptoms
Of irritation developed in the giant.
Striding to the middle OF the room he
said;
MY wife ez pooty, n ez nice n
sweet ez any gyrul hyar Yoa uns
has known her all her life. This game
hez been a-goin' on half an hour an
nobody has pined fur her oncet. Eff
someone dosen't pine fur her pooty
soon thar will be trouble"
She was the belle of the ball after
that. Everybody pined for her.

preparation. No matter if you have
smaller quantities, have the quality

The members Of the staff of the pape-s

in front OF the windows on Abbey street,
where the editors rooms are situated. The
bomb exploded with a tremendous report.
but fortunately there was no one in these
particular rooms at the time and conse-
quently no one was hurt. If the missile
had been intended to injure anybody in

effort would have been pre- e-e:ninently sue.
cessful, for the window glass was broken,
the castings shattered and the furniture in
the room badly damaged. The offices in
the basement were also badly damaged,
and, indeed. windows in all the adjacent
houses were broken. 81. ..-
The widest rumors were spread. and an
enormous crowd quickly collected. For a
time there was much excitement. Not
wthstanding every effort was made to
search out the miscreant the authorities
thus far are without any clew whatever. It
was noted at the time of the explosion by
those who were present that the fumes
arising from the exploded bomb had a very
offensive odor
Almost universally the credit for the out
rage is given 70 the Parnellites. The re-
port OF the explosion was heard distinctly
two miles away. The attention OF the
watchman on duty at the time, and who is
said to have always been on duty since the
Parnellite threats Of vengeance were ut
tered was diverted by a sham fight between
two men in the vicinity OF the National
Press building.

AT 1:SO Goheen was taken to the second
floor of the Jail. He walked nimbly up the
stairs and cast iurtive glance at the trap
as he passed by it into side room.
AT II o'clock the priest knelt down and
prayed with him for about two minutes.
Then the sheriff slipped in and handcuffed
his hands behind his back. The priest led
the way to the trap. 'Goheen followed with
Sheriff Billings in the rear. He marched
out as erect as soldier. There was not a
finch or a tremor as he passed into the
hall, he looked up at the rope and took
his position on the trap. He was then
strapped as usual.
Sheriff Billings then said, "Adelbert,
have you anything to say?" Hcsaid Gen

the black cap was being put on him and
the priest said the Lords prayer, Let her
go. Jack" said Goheen, and the sheriff

slipped around little and his neck was
broken. He died of strangulatiou. The
body was allowed to hang about twenty
five minutes. Goheen died as he said he
would. No more neruy man ever stood on
a death trap.
The greater part ofthe evening was spent
in playing on the ACCORDION and listening
to the priests reading. At II o'clock he
was given an oyster stew which he ate with
relish. At II o'clock every reporter was
excluded from the Jail and only the Of

23.-The postoffice here was entered by
burglars early this morning and a big haul
made. Entrance was effected through
window in the rear, which was pried open.
A hole was then drilled through the safe

of its contents. Three thousand five hun
dred dollars in stamps were taken. besides

registered letters. Tie amount Of the
money contained in the registered letter is
not accurately known, but it is estimated

The noise of the explosion attracted the
attention of one policeman and he gave
chase and fred several shots after them,
which were returned by the burglars with
such vigor that he was obliged to give up
the chase.
The stamps were recovered to-day. They
were found hidden in some boxes back Of

Electric Faults Caused by Mice.

The London Electric Supply Com
pany find that where they use concen-
tric' wiresf faults suddenly occur. These
they find to be due to nMce making
contact between the EARTH and the in
sulated high-pressure terminal. A
current passes and blows the fuse,
and the burnt remains of the mouse
are found. Probably mice are at
tracted by the Warmth OF the trans
mitters, which, when not too hot, al
SO attract beetles and other insects.
When the mice get near the high-pres-
sure terminal there is an electrostatic
force which acts on their a9tenna.
This attracts their attention, and
they investigate the terminal and find
that, whether knowledge tones after
death or not death is apt to come
first.

What do you thinkP
Six men three blacks and three
whites wished to cross river. Their
boat could only take two mt time.
AS the black men are savagcs, there
must not be more OF their number than
whites left on either side OF the river
at any time. How IL the difficulty got
over? Draught-board men can DO used
10 reprpsent bluclks and whites. Solu-
ton: A black and white cross first.
The white takes back the boat Two
blacks next cross one returns with the
boat. Then two whites cross and a
black and white return with the boat.
Two whites then cross and send the
black back with the boat, when the
other two are brought over In turn.
