this place this morning. the officials of the
Pacific Express Company placed Ed
kuriz IN charge of the:ofice and caused
Hui, Messenger Tibbets and Watehman
Gibbons 10 be arrested. They are accused
of completely in last Saturday nights
robbery. The fact that these men were
the only persons possessing keys to the
door of the oftice, and that the door
showed no evidence of having been forced,
caused suspicion 20 rest OH them. They
were released later In the morning on
their own recognixance. Evidence is
rapidly shaping itself so that the de,ec-
tives are almost certain that parties living
in this locality committed the deed. and
that the money is now hidden about town.
They are shadowing several prominent
men of the city, and are making diligent
search for the hidden treasure. Important
arrests may be made shortly, it is stated.

forspAM. Oct liking Alexander Of
Servia arrived here this evening from
Buda- Pesth. on visit TO Emperor Will
lam. Great preparations had been made
for his reception. and it was generally
understood that his visit had no political
significance. The railway station was
beautifully decorated. and guard OF
honor was drawn up on the platform.
The party which received the young king
was brilliant one. The emperor greeted
the king most cordially, and after an
inspection of the guard of honor their
majesties drove to the palace, escorted by
the guards. grand gala dinner was
given at the new palace.
The emperor proposed the health of
King Alexander. The latter. speaking in
German, thanked Emperor William for tho
cordiality of the reception. and said he
hoped the friendly relations between Ser
via and Germany would DO further
strengthened.
A magnificent military display was wit
messed here today IN connection with the
dedication of 1872 flags destined for the re-
Gently organized fourth battalion of each

formed by Emperor William in the Hall of
Fame in the arsenal. Among those present
we're the empress and her four eldest sons,

sian royal family.

Wants q Comfortable Cofll.

CRAwFoRDsvILLE, IND, Feb. 21.-
There is mau living nine miles south OF
this city who, though in the best OF
health, has given his orders for his coffin.
His name is Drake Brookshire. He is
the father of Hon. E. V. Brookshire, the
Democratic Congressman from this, the
Eighth district. Mr.. Brookshire weighs
2s0 pounds, has always lived upon a
farm, enjoyed the best of health, having
never been sick day In his life, and is
now 81 years of age. The other day he
came to town and went to an undertaking
establishment, and informed the pro-
prietor that be wanted to purchase q
coffin. The proprietor, after asking who
was dead, was greatly astonlshed on
being told that It was for the live man
standing before him. Mr.. Brookshlre,
however, quieted him by saying that he
did not intend to die until he had to, but
that be wanted to die with the knowl edge
that there was coffin already made for
him, in which he would have plenty OF
room. The undertaken did not seem to
know Just what to do, and Mr.. Brook
shire, seeing his embarrassment, laid
down upon the floor and ordered his
measurement taken. The coffin will be
made, OF 2-inch oak, firmly holted togeth-
er, and will be feet 6 inches long, 8 feet
wide and 81 feet deep. After the coffin is
made Mr.. Brookshire will try 1t and see
fit fits him. He also says that he de-
sires to be taken to the graveyard in his
farm wagon, drawn by his team OF
favorite mules.

A Revenue Pnzzle,

KNOXVILLE; Tenn, Feb. N.-When-
ever a new deputy enters the revenue
service in this section Of Tennessee, he is
generally assigned to the task Of arrest
Ing Madame Betsy Brewer, who, as Is
we'll known to all Of the revenue officials
about here, runs jug house In open
defiance of the laws, The assignment
seems simple one, and the upsopAisti-
Gated deputy has no suspicion Of the
work cut out for him, as 1t is easy to find
the place and Madame Betsy may always
be found at home.
The question is not in arrestlng her but
In bringing her to justice. The Brewer
cabin is sitnated atsome distance off the
road in most inaccessible part of the
mountain. To approach itit is necessary
to dismount and walk for considerable
distance over rough bride path. And
herein lies the rub. Madame Betsy
weighs $50 pounds and Is almost help
less, lying es she does on her cabin bed
all the time. AS she cannot escape, her
arrest can be easily accomplished, but it
is absolutely impossible tc bring the
prisoner away. To do 80 it would require
a skillful engineer, several months OF
road building, railroad and derrick.
So Mrs. Brewer pursues her chosen
occupation serenely, dispensing the for
hidden juice from q jug kept at her bed
side, and all the young deputy marshals
who are taken Into the revenue service
in this section are given as an initatory
assignment the arrest Of Madame Betsy
Brewer, Nothing can ever accomplish
her being brought to trial but a railroad
through an inaccessible part CT the
mountains or copious doses of anti-fat,
and it is not probable that either of these
two means will be employed by Uncle
Sam to accomplish the ends of justice.

Mistaken for Burglars.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, February 25.-
One of the. saddest occurrences ever re-
ported in the history of Arkansas County
happened at st. Charles on Saturday
morning, and resulted in the death OF
Walter A. Ballard, young business
man of ST. Charles, and William Farrar,
at the hands of Wilbur Parker. William
Farrer, with several friends from ST..
Louis, has been in the neight'orhood OF
st. Chal les on White River for several
days on hunting and fishing expedition,
and for the past two weeks Farrar has
been on continuous drunk and border
ing on delirium tremens. EARLY yester-
day morning E'arrar in his drunken con-
dition and bordering almost OH insanity,
broke down the doors of two or three
stores, and was proceeding to- demolish
the door of the store belonging to young
Parker when the alarm of burglars was
raised. Mr.. Ballard, who slept in an
adjoining store, heard the noise and ran
to see what it meant. Just as he reached
the front door, Parker, who slept in the
back room of the store. rushed out with
a gun in his hand and fired a load of buck
shot into Ballards breast, from the
effects of which be died last night:
Parker then turned the other barrel of
his gun on Farrar, fired, killing him
instantly. The coroner's jury exonera-
ted Parker from all blame.

The recent unparalleled blizzard in
Kansas and the adjacent Territories,
which are devoted largely to cattle graz
ing, has resulted disastrously to the live
stock exposed to its pitiless fury. Thou
sands of cattle have perished from. the
intense cold, and many additional thou
sands, it is feared, will die of starvation,
unless an early and warm spring shall
mitigate the climatic conditions Of the
snow clad ranges.
The following interesting story OF
how q canary was cured OF hom esickness
was told by a well-known gentleman {:
"Not long ago my wife purchased ca
nary at bird store. 1t had been accns-
toned to companions Of its kind at the
store. but at our house it was entirely
alone. The pretty little songster was ev-
idently home-sick. It would not sing, it
would not eat, but just dropped and
seemed to be pining away. We talked
to it, and tried by every means in our
nower to cheer the bird up, but all in
vain. NV wife was on the point of car
rvinp the bird back to the store when
one day q friend said: "Give him
piece of looking glass;" Acting on this
suggestion, she tied q piece OF broken
mirror about the size of a mans hand on
the outside Of the csge. The little fellow
hoped down from his porch almost i'm.
mediately, and. going up close, looked
in, seeming delighted. He chirped and
hoped about, singing all the pretty airs
he was roaster of. He never was home
sick after that. He spends the most of
his time before the glass, and when he
goes to sleep at night he will cuddle
down as close to The glass as he can,
thinking, very likely, that he is getting
near to the pretty bird that he sees so Of

A CiyilIzed Alligator.


WAYcRoss, GA, February A.-"While
travelling from house to house in Char!-
ton county last January" said a well
known canvasser this morning, II
heard strange story about an alligator.
A farmer who lives in close proximity
to an alligator pond was at work on the
plantation and his family were at
neighbours house.
"Returning home about sundown they
heard strange noise in one OF the living
rooms. The farmer supposed that q
burglar was in the house and quietly
opened the front door and took down his
shotgun. He went in the room where
the noise was, and lying restlessly upon
the bed with his head on the pillow was
medium -siged alligator. The man was
surprised and frightened. The alligator
heard noise, and looking around, saw
the gun pointed toward him. The man
banged away with his gun and dozen
buckshot entered the alligator's head.
Another load of shot was sent whizzing
at the reptile, causing death instantly.
The dishes and tables Of the dining room
were broken and the pantry was robbed
of its victuals. Having satisfied his ap-
petite, the reptile crawled upon the bed
and prepared to take nap, The alliga-
tor, was, with difficulty, removed from
the house.

"A woman went into jewelry store
in New York and asked to see some dia-
mond rings. AS she was looking at them
she directed the clerks attention another
way for moment, and popped one OF the
rings into her mouth. She did not no.
tice before hand that the ring had tag
attached to it by long string, and when
the clerk turned to her he was surprised
to find the tag hanging out of her me euth
by the string, which she was making
the most extraordinary faces in her ef-
forts to swallow. The string had gotten
tangled in her front teeth, and refused
to 20 either way. The clerk disentan-
gled it for her and also disentangled sew
eral pocketbooks which were found IN her
pocket.
- Last Saturday morning on the PLAN
tation of A. r. Bouknight, in Edgefeld
county. Joseph Cuffs daughter about
sixteen, was knocking cotton stalks in
the field and her little brother unthink-
ingly set fire to bunch Of grass near by.
Her clothes caught OH fire and she run to
where her father was blowing; but before
the flames could be eXtinguished, she
was burned fatally. She walked to the
house and told her mother that she was
burned to death but not to grieve about
her. If it was the Lords will for her to
20 that way she was willing and ready
to go. Saturday evening her spirit de-
parted.
The will for the largest estate since
the days of slavery was proved in Colum-
bia on the 18th inst. Mrs. Henry P.
Clarke, who died in that city Oh the Sat-
urday before, left an estate valued at
5000, goo to 100000. She was grand
daughter OF the great Snowman, P. L.
Barnum, from whom she received the
greater part of her property. Two chill
dren, one an infant a few weeks old, and
her husband inherit her estate, excepting
a few legacies.
