FINE HORSES KILLED.
Train Bearing the Georgia Hussars
Wrecked Near Winnsboro

Train Hearing the Georgia Hussars
Wrecked Near Winnsboro
WINNsBoRo, S. c., March "A car of
Georgia hussars returning from Wash.
ington to Savannah, was wrecked two
miles north of here yes .erday afternoon
The truck of tho tender jumped the
track and after running some distance
caught under tho front of the stock car
containing the horses. pushing it down
a high embankment and standing it
almost on end. The accident was
caused by the imperfect condition of the
track.
The hussars, who escaped with a
shaking up, had to tear the stock ear
almost to pieces to get their horses out.
Fortunately the car was of the palace
varsity and the partitions kept tho
horses apart. AS it was. two OF tho
finest horses will die and several others
were injured.

Lucky Strikes.

Stories of unexpected fortunes are as
common as blackberries. Somebody is
always making or finding or inheritirg
a heap OF money which seems TO himself
almost to have come from the clouds.
Worthless shares become valuable, as

The I'nult of the Moon.

In small Vermont town the street
lamps, which are few and far between,
are under the charge of one of the Oldest
residents of the place. "Why in the
world weren't the lamps lighted tonight,
Mr., Jacobs" inquired summer resi-
dent, who had stumbled down to the
postofiicc one July evening in the pitchy
darkness of Il heavy rainstorm.
They amt ever lighted on moonlight
nights" responded the old man calmly.
That's the rule. an the moon fulled last
night, an this is one OF best nights in the
hull month"
best nights" echoed the other in
considerable irritation. What good
does the moon do in Il pouring rain like
this:"
81 can't help that" said Mr.. Jacobs.
'Accordin to the almanac, this is a
moonshine night, an the lamps hev no
call to be lit. recon the almanac's
good thing to go by
why" continued the old lamplighter,
surveying his critic with suddenly awak-
ened surprise and disgust, "where d'vo,,

her duty, its unfort'nit, but it amt any

The bystanders murmured assent. and
the summer resident was silenced. -

Two Democratic ONCE Holders.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
NEWPORT, June 2 The theory that a
bank officer cannot hold Office in the
eneral assembly. which is lauded by the
Democrats as one OF the cardinal prin-
ciples OF the constitution, has been ex-
ploded by the discovery that Messrs.
Clarke aud Crosby Of Newport are both
bank directors.
Mr. Clarke is director in the Aauid.
neck National bank, aud Mr.. Crosby is "a
director IN the National Bank of
Rhode Island. Both OF these men ten.
dered their designations to the respecii i've
cashiers OF their Lanks last Tuesday
morning. They were informed that the
cashiers could not act on such matters.
and that they would have to be referred
to the boards of directors and stock
holders.
1t is not known whe ther these resig-
nations have ever been received by the
boards of directors .or not. but it is GER
taiu that no official action has been
taken in regard t. them.

SPECIAL THE NEWS
NEWPORT, June 2--The ultimate policy
OF the Democrats Is slowly becoming
known. The News correspondent had a
long interview with one OF the conserva-
tive members OF the party who is not a
member of the present IS eeriDg" COM
mittee, but who has been in active polit-
ical life for over twenty Years.
"This policy" said he. "of carrying
things to such pitch as we have was
determined month ago. We knew
what the probable result OF the unseating
would be, and we went into it with our
eyes open.
"What will be the result of it all ,"
"Ah, you'll see. You have got the
state Offices and you have got the state
to run. All the plu ms are yours. and we
get nothing.
"Well, suppose you have 1t all, what
good will It do your IL costs money TO

What good will that do your You won't
get any money even then. The general
appropriation bill will fail to pass. Then
what will become of your state
government? Few of the gen
eral assembly acts can be
made operative without money. You
can't run your state institutions, you
can'C pay your salaries. you can't pay

Isaac A. Potter is colored porter in

coat and change his shoes before going

To his surprise Mr.. Potter could not

afternoon had taken them.
Accordingly he went cut on n still hunt
this morning and at j. III. Preston's
whore car was being unloa led. he spied
his coat and shoes on the person of one
II the carriers. He went up to the iel-
low and quietly told bin that IL he would
take them back TO the store where he
found them. there would be no trouble
about the mat er.
This the fellow refused to do and Ike"
started after Officer Joe Curtis at the

and took the man into custody.

HIGH UP in THE AIR.
The New Chimney of the Union Railwa
Power House viii Raise Its Head.

The New Chimney of the Union Railway
Power House viii Raise Its Head.
Another sky .scraping chimney is to be
added to the towering sentinels OF Provi-
d, nee indus ries that loom up through
the clouds of mist and smoke-indicators
of the uusy life of great city. This new
one is TO rear its head above the
new power station of the Union Railroad
company on Eddy street, just Glow
Point street, and designed by L. Il. She.-
don. 1t is To he 200 feet high. 1t will
not be so tall as the famous Narragansett
Electric Lighting company's chimney at
the foo. of Sonth street, which is 260 f. ct
from the foundation up. This latter feat
Of Engineering has an iron ladder In the
space between the outer and inner walls,
running TO the very top.
In point of size then this new chimney
of the Union Power station will be the
second highest in Rhode Island, and il
is said to be the second highest ia New
England.
The brick mason work is built upon
200 spruce piles Uriven thirty feet into
the around. The latter is principally
mud, and made at first a fiiculty in the
plans
The top OF these piles ends about 10
feet below the grade. From that point
to the grade is laid solid led Of con-
crete branching in Il series OF steps from
the area OF the piles TO the area OF the
base OF tn" chimney. The size OF tnc
chimney at the base is 35 feet square.
The whole Of the material is OF brick.
The diane er at the base is % feet 6
inches and batters back from that to 20
feet q inches at the granite coping 25
feet above the base. The shape at the
base is octagopal and remains So the
sides gradual v growing smaller until at
the height of % feet IL becomes round.
The diameter at the top is 17I1 feet and
il is capped with terra Gotta. Here, like
the chimney of the Narragansett Elec-
trio Lighting company it swells out from
1917 feet to the 17H mentioned above.
There are two,walls all he way up and un-
like the electric company's chimney, there
is no ladder or IL cans OF reaching the top.
The designer said that he did not believe
there was any need for such a thing
as he did not expect that the chimney
would need repairing, and il it shou d,
ahere were plenty of ways to reach the
top known to the trade. Anyway the
space between tho walls il hardly suf.
hcient to admit he passage Of mans
body, for any distance up, as the walls
nearly touch at point about halfway
up.
The fiue diameter is eight feet, and re-
mains the same from top to bottom, thus
giving an immense draft. 4 he engines
of the station are between 5000 and 1000
horse power.
The work OF sinking the piles is
finished, and now the contractors are
working upon the concrete fouu dation.
