Murderously Assaulted in Georgia.
Walton A. Smith, son of J. Glib
Smith, the Water street lumber merchant,
was murderously assaulted in Brunswick,
Ga recently. A little over year ago he
married Miss Maud Beckley, daughter of
W. A. Beckley of Howard avenue and
moved to Brunswick for the purpose of
conducting there a branch Office of his
fathers business. He is very we'll known
in this city, whore he has spent nearly all
his life and received his education, and
where he has host of friends.

leave and move to this city. His wife had

condition early In the morning and remov-
ed to the police station, where he was
identified early on Sunday. He had lair,
In an unconscious state throughout the

possible.

A High Atmosphere.

Beyond %, 900 feet above the sea level,
the hight reached by Glaisher in 1862,
man has never been able to navigate
the air Various problems concerning
the region farther away-such as tenn
perature, the pressure, the quantity of
moisture, the composition of the air,
etc.-have attracted the attention of
physicists, and have at last led to the
experiments of M. Hermite, who, during
the last few months, has been sending
mp pilot balloons, carrying up register
ing apparatus. These balloons are very
light, with capacity of about 100 to
200 cubic feet. Falling at a distance
from Paris ranging up to 200 miles, the
balloons have nearly all been returned
by their finders, as requested on a card
attached to each, and one has brought
down records from hight of $4,000
feet. The instruments used are very
light and simple. With larger balloons
and systematic exploration, it is hoped
that the secrets of the air up to at least
10, 900 feet may be made as familiar to
ms as those of the deepest and darkest
depths of the sea are gradually becom-
ing.-Scientific American.

although there are over one hundred

CHARLES V. did not rehearse his own

contrary, he disliked the thought of
death SO much that all persons were
forbidden to use the word in his pres

THE seignorage or deduction made
from the bullion to cover expenses and
pay the sovereign his royalty has
varied in different countries and at
different times. Henry III. charged
sixpence in the pound; Henry VIII.

Clippings.

The late Benjamin P. Shillaber,
whose published sayings of Mrs Part
ington were very popular some years
ago. was fond of quoting her in friendly
conversation, though he used to say
that such twists of the language came
easier from his pen. He always laughed
himself at her perversities, and friend
relates that he said that in his last
book on Mrs Darlington he had to kill
her SO that no one else should lay
claim to her. Her peculiarities were
suggested to him by those OF an elderly
friend of his youth in the New HamP
thire town where he was born

Hard to Obtain Intelligence-The Damage
at Jacksonville.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 29.-This
city has been cut off from communica-
ton with the outside world since 5
o'clock Sunday morning. The tornado
which the weather bureau foretold last
Saturday struck Jacksonville about
day break on Sunday morning and rap
idly increased in force and fury up to i
o'clock p IN.
In this city the velocity of the wind
was 4S miles per hour. Hundreds of
trees were blown down and signs rap
idly disappeared before the gaze.
Scores of dwellings and public build
ings were entirely or partly unroofed.
The most serious damage was to the
Park opera house and the Ocean Street
Presbyterian church
At Mayport (mouth of ST. Johns
river) all the buildings suffered mere
or less and the old Atlantic house was
demolished completely. At Pablo
beach the sea encroached upon the rail-
road tracks and the premises of cottag-
ers and the wind played sad havoc
among them.
ST. Augustine reports the water COM
ing in over the sea wall and damaging
business blocks
About thirty or forty yachts and
small crafts were badly damaged or
completely destroyed The fate of
other localities in Florida, as well as
the outside territory invaded by the
storm, is still sealed book.
The wires are down in every direc-
ton from Jacksonville, and communi-
cation with the outside world is abso-
1utely cut off, and up to o'clock last
night the only points heard from were
st. Augustine and Fernando.
