Love yersu- Money.

Douglasville, Texas, was the scene
of double tragedy Saturday night
Trinidad Romer, Mexican, 80 years
old; Julius Larinsky, u Polish settler,
and the latter's daughter, were the
principal Romer was desperately
enamored of the only daughter OF
Larinsky, and his suit was favored
by the father, but she had her choice
in another of her own race in the per,
son of Sorowski.
Sorowski had little to offer other
than his love, while Romer. { hal

Informed Romer that he looked, upon
his suit with favor, and that if he
could arrange to put Sorowski out of
the way he would give him the hand
of his daughl er in marriage. Short
jy after Sorowski disappeared as if
swallowed up by the earth. All was
then smooth sailing for Rolner, who
yesterday was welded to Miss Larile-
sky.
AT the wedding feast Romer be-
came Intoxicated and boosted of the
fact that he had killed SOrowski and
that he was abetted in his crime by
Larinsky.

a New Roller Skate

GA rather formidable competitor Of
the cycle, hear, has made its appear
ance in the Midlands in the shape of a
pneumatic road skate. 1t has lately
been seen in tue streets of Birming-
ham, England, and judging frou the
admiration il exciles, is not unlikely
IshoulJ think. to find its way into all
parts Of tho country. The invention,
which was patented a short time ago
by Seo.cli firm, is evidently derived
from the old roller skate of skating
rink celebrity; but, whereas, the or
binary roller skate has four wheels,
the pneumatic skate has only two,
placed in line at either extremity Of
the skate. The wheels are rather
larger than those of the roller skate,
and instead OF solid rubber are cover
with pneumatic tires. The patentees
claim for them that one can skate over
ordinary turnpike roads with them the
same as on ice, and at even greater
speed, while at the same time they
will easily ascend and descend hills.
Six or seven miles an hour, however,
is tue maximum speed attempted in
the streets CT Birmingham, and that
only on smooth roads. One obvious
advantage of the pneumatic skate
over the pneumatic cycle is that pune.
tured tires may be readily replaced.
as the skater may carry surplus tires,
or even reserve wheels ready fitted in
his -overcoat pocket.-London Letter.

The Egyptian government evidently
has a high admiration for the Ameri-
can way of doing things. 1t wants q
system of street railways for Cairo,
and has communicated with the State
Department inviting Americans to put
in bids for its construction. The mat
ter is attracting some attention among
European capitalists, and there is
likely to be active competition. Bids
will be received by the minister of
public works in Cairo up to February
|, 1894, but American investors can
obtain full information on the subject
at the State Department. Cairo has a
permanent population of 100000, and
this number is greatly augmented dur
ing the winter by the influx of trav-
ellers.

Industrial Coalitions in the south

Industrial Conditions in the South -
The Tradesman, Chattanooga,
Tenn, in its review of the industrial
situation in the South for the week
ending Nov IS reports that the de-
mand for machinery is somewhat in
increasing; that larger number than
usual of new mills, especially In thes
flouring mill and lumber industries
are reported as i'll process of erection
and that there is evidence OF sub
slaniial revival of industries in gener-'
al. The favorable weather that has
prevailed throughout the Southern
States for several weeks has enabled
the crops to be gathered i'll good con-
di,ion, but prevailing prices do not
encourage farmers to market them on
a lSrge scale. 1t seems 10 be general
Nv believed that there will be large
increase in the lumber output during
the coming winter, as stocks ON hant
at the mills are much reduced.
SO far us can be judged from pre-
vailino conditions, financial and mer-
camille business is steadily reviving,
and manufacturers generally are in
creasing their outputs. The low prices
| of cotton, coal and the products OF
| iron are now the only serious draw
backs to prosperity.
Thirty-iive new industries are re :
ported as established or incorporate d
during the week, together with five
engagements OF manufact ,ries, ant
line important new buildings Among
noticeable new industries are the
Sttatton- White Machine Co., of Fort
