The most powerful electric locomo.
tives yet used are two of the London
Underground railway. Each locomo-
tive, according to a description of Mr.
Alexander Siemens, carries two motors
and the use of all gearing is obviated by
winding the armatures of the motors on
the axles of the locomotive wheels
Tests of the four motors before tbev
were fitted to their places gave from
forty to fifty horsepower each for three
OF them-the other being much more
powerful-and efficiencies of about 80 TO
"a per cent.
Each locomotive fully equipped weighs
1914 tons, and its unloaded train weigh,
'wenty-one tons, full load being ninety
Six passengers, The average power of
each locomotive requires current If
not more than fifty amperes, although
IN starting as much as 40 amperes must
be had.-Ohio State Journal.

The statement made in connection
with the death Of Colonel Gilmore that
wine and banana juice combined made
q deadly poison has caused much COM
ment and much more comparing Of
notes. That 10 eat bananas and drink
wine Immediately afterward is to court
certain death, as was stated by gentle
man OF some experience, is not correct,
or would have died score OF deaths
from poison before this, and the inbabit-
ants of the West Indian islands would
have been decimnted time and again,
for the combination Is common among
those who can secure wine.
II Is possible that some particular
wines are dangerous In combination
with bananas. but the rule does not APP
ply either to champagne or sherry. The
suggestion, however, that bananas are
injurious in connection with anything
Is rather novel one to me, because
there are few fruits which will preserve

conclusions follow, which we cannot
ignore without paving heavy penalty.
Attention has been called to the infant

education, nature ASSERTS herself and

A vermonter Who became General and
Earned His Country's Gratitude.

Earned Ills Country's Gratitude.
Bngadier General Stephen NJ Thomas,
of Montpelier, Vt, who has recently been
awarded a medal of honor by the war de-
partment, is an individual type of the
soldier
The history of General Thomas is not
only remarkable, but of unusual interest
He was born at Bethel, VT, Dec. g. 1909,
where he passed his earlier years. After
receiving a common school education he
learned the wooden manufacturing bust
ness. He served in the Legislature in
1888 9 and 1856 and in 1874 and 1851 he
was delegate TO the state constitutional
convention. During this period General
Thomas was a state senator and register
of the probate court of Orange county, vt.
From 1S47 to 1910 he was probate Judge
When the civil war broke out it at once
enlisted his interest and Nov IL, 1861, he
was appointed colonel of volunteers. He
at once enlisted a regiment of infantry and
two battalions. He entered the service of
his country at the age of ffty-three, being
mustered in Jan. 81, 1862, in command of
the Eighth Vermont regiment General
Thomas had over three years of hard and
almost constant fighting, and left the serv-
ice Aug. "a, 1865. having been commits
stoned brigadier general the previous Feb
ruary.
In 1868 he was lieutenant governor of
Vermont, and from 1870 to 1877 he was
United States pension agent.
In 1877 General Thomas left Washing
ton, VT, where he had been living, and
moved to Montpelier. His friends urged
him to retire from active life, but al
though he was sixty-eight years old and
carried southern bullets in his body he re

fused to act on the advice. He continued
to carry on his large farm in Washington;
but, wishing more active life, after a
time he organized the United States
Clothespin company in 1887 and accepted
the office of president. He has held the
office since and has SO directed the affairs
OF the company that it has been very sue
cessful. General Thomas, at the age of
eighty-three, can be seen any day on the
streets of Montpelier He carries a cane.
but really uses it very little, being hale
and hearty and not looking owe. sixty
years old, He is pleasant and genial and
Immensely popular with the people, and is
considered by the old soldiers a necessary
adjunct to every campfire and other jollifi,
cation.
The medal of honor which General
Thomas has just received was presented
FOR distinguished conduct at the battle
OF Cedar Creek Oct 10, 1S64.n At Cedar
Creek, after the rout of Il large portion of
the corps, to him was given the perilous
duty of resisting the Confederate advance
While the Union lines were being formed
in the rear. By most stubborn and effect
i've lighting he held back Ramseur and
hershaw's divisions for more than an hour
with the loss of half his brigade and mora
than half of the Eighth Vermont.

Two Stores Entered by Negro Who
Bored in From Below.

Townsville, Ga, Oct. THE post
office and the store of the Levy Mercan-
tile Company were burglarized last
night. Both places are under the
Mitchell House, and within three doors of
each other. The burglar got under the
building and bored hole in the floor of
the postofice, through which he entered.
Every drawer and pigeon hole in the
place was ransacked, but the safe was left
untouched Only about 81 and a pair of
shoes were taken from the Office. After
leaving there the burglar crawled on his
hands and knees underneath the
floors of the Levy Mercantile
Company and cut an opening
through a brick wall into the cellar.
From there he made his way up stairs
and robbed the cash drawer of about S25.
He left no clue behind him, but the Off
GERS went to work on the case and this
afternoon secured enough evidence to ar
rest Charley Spanish (colored). Span
ish's house was searched and the shoes
stolen from the postoffice We're found. He
also had considerable quantity of mon
ey on his person. Goods were also found
in his possession which had been stolen
from other places After being locked up
Spanish confessed. The officers are being
congratulated on the fine detective work
they did in running the thief down.

a VETERAN F1sHERMAN's STORY
And Various Other Matters of Interest
From WaYcross.


Waycross, Ca, Oct. 7.-Mr Crawford
the veteran fisherman, accompanied by
prominent physician, spent a day last
week on the banks of the Satilla river,
near Johnson's Park, of picnic fame.
The Doctors old gray horse was securely
tied to tree and the two fishermen went
in search of bait At shutdown they re-
turned to the pavilion, where they snip
posed the old gray was securely tied. On
reaching the park, they heard the sound
of whip being applied to the horse, fol-
lowed by the rumbling of wheels. The
noise was soon lost in the distance.
Disappointed at the sudden change of
circumstances, they deposited their
strings of fish on the floor of the pavil-
ion, and made preparations for
mile walk into Waycross. Suddenly there
was whizzing sound overhead, accom-
panied by the hooting of a melancholy
owl and the dull thud of falling missiles
to the ground. Then a savage, deep
toned grOwl, from what appeared to be
bear, was heard. The monster came with
heavy tread from among the bushes and
made for the frightened men in the pa
vilion. Mr.. Crawford seized the top of a
fallen tree, and asked the doc
tor to get the fish. The
uSn were gone, Ju6 monster was LneF6
There was an informal start and the men
had fed from the scene. They arrived at
Waltertown, breathless and frightened.
There was faint recollection of a broken
jug in their minds as they fell down upon
a rustic seat. A special train was or
dered, and the fishermen who started out
in the morning with grand expectations
were dispatched to Waycross wiser than
might have been expected.
The Waycross graded schools have now
an enrolment of 425 pupils. The corps of
teachers is said to be the best in the his
tory of the schools.
Judge Joel L. Sweat has just returned
from bonneville. He says the people of

ping court this month on account of the
proximity of the yellow fever district.
After giving the matter due consideration
he concluded 10 grant their petition The
court will not be held before winter, aud
Wayne superior court will also be post
