RUM-LoADED MELONS.
Gen. Miles Soldiers Evince a Pecu-
liar Fondness for Evanston Fruit.
From The Philadelphia P-ess,

fIOul TIC AAlAlSAtA llA4ld TESS
Chicago. Aug. 23.-United States troOps
around Evanston have discovered the
merits of the Evanston watermelon. -
This variety of fruit, it may be explained,
is sui. generis. 1t brings a price so high
that il would startle South Water street
dealers A small one can be sold for 81
and some OF the big ones are SO luscious
that they bring as much as - or 50. They
are wonderfully invigorating, too. A
real thirsty man might eat whole one
and then try TO kick the top OF a Tag
pole He would be in u good fighting
mood, too, and this possibly explains how
Gen. Miles has won 50 many battles in
the last week or two.
1t may be necessary 10 explain that
there are some pecaharities about the
''Evanston watermelon" that are not no
ticed in others. 1t IS generally a small
affair, and does not seem to be quite as
perfect as those that man expects TO
have delivered at his house when he
leaves an order with the grocer or some
other tradesman. 1t is sure To be
plugged" too. Some men kick when
they get a melon that has been plugged, ~
but there can be no genuine Evanston
melon that is not. How else could the
whisky be poured into it, The plug" is
the trademark, and none is genuine with
out IL. OWING 10 evanston well known
temperance principles, there has been
a great demand for these melons
IL took the soldiers few
days to discover the Eyanstonian
way of doing business, but after they
found it out plantation darkies could
not evince greater fondness for melons.
The melons in most instances 10
not contain the genuine GOOD stuff. but
are filled with the variety known as
forty rod" and two drinks are war
ranted TO make man feel that he is
somewhere else. The result has been
during the last day or two that Gen.
Miles soldiers have spent considerable
of their time in the guard house,
their fondness for the Evanston water
melons having either made them unfit
for duty or especially quarrelsone. It
is also understood that the officers OF
the regiments have learned of the beau
ties of the melons and have patroniled
the peddlers rather freely.

Darien's Big Lumber Trade.

Darien. Ca, Aug. 25.-u is estimated
that Darien's timber and lumber exports,
coastwise and European, will range be.
tween l30, 600, 900 and 200,000,000 feet for
the next twelve months. During the last
twelve months theexports have amounted
70 about 100, zoo, GOO feet, but su bstantial
increase for the immediate future at
least, is certain. A great many mills
along the various lines OF railroads are
moving down toward the rivers and
creeks tributary TO the Altamaha, and
this is certain to increase Daricn's supply
from 30 10 80 per cent.
A prominent mill man from the up
country said to-day: 81 have decided TO
move my mill from the railroad to the
river, principally for this reason: My
railroad customers are not prepared 10
pay for their lumber in less than 80, 30 or
l2O days time. When ! bring IL to Darien
and present my bill OF measurement 70
the buyers, the cold cash Is produced
This is an immense advantage TO me and
other mill men, as we, as rule, are not

SHIPS WILL GO ON WHEELS.
The New River and Harbor Bill Pro.
vides the Means.
From the Philadelphia Record


Washington, Aug. 23.-Congress en-
bodied a novel idea in the river and harbor
appropriation bill in an item of Sl50,00O
for the preliminary work on a ship rail
way, TO be constructed through The Dalles,
on the Columb ia river, in Oregon.
When Eads first advanced his theories
that large ships could be transported
overland for considerable distances, and
exhibited his models, he was ridiculed for
his pans by the government engineers
and most of the scientific world. 1t was
cOntended that no car could be built that
would hold the ship so firmly that its
seams would not be sprung in overland
transportation, as when a vessel is loaded
the least fitting will work a great deal of
damage. However, the western rep
resentatives have been striv. NJ for years
to have the experiment tried in opening
the upper regions on The Columbia, and
elaborate surveys have been made, while
government engineers have hunted all
through Europe and the United States for
specimens of and ideas on hydraulic lifts
and cars for transportation.
1t is now believed that the experiment
on the Columbia river will prove success
full. The car 10 be used will be unique
1T will be some forty or fifty feet in
breadth and long enough to carry ships
| spring months, whenthe water is high,
will allow a draught of about fourteen
feet. This car viii be provided with a
matrix, consisting of elaborate sets of
springs, which will fit around the hull of
the ship like the water and conform TO It's
| exact shape. 1t will be sunk on a track
under water, and the ship will pass over
it. Then the car will be raised and the
springs allowed TO adjust themselves to the
lines of the vessel; by a Tightening pro-
| cess they will be kept in place, the ship
will be firmly lashed to the car, and by
an immense hydraulic lift the whole
thing will be elevated some seventy feet
above water level to the hight of the
land track, and the car will be run upon
it.
This land track will consist of four or
five railway tracks ofstandard gauge, and
in its extension up through The Dalles
there will be no curves greater than two
degrees, as it is recognized that any
sharper than this would present new
dangers Of springing leaks. The engines
to be used will PROBABLY be made espe-
cially for the work, and have immense
horse power

Augusta, Ca. Aug. 25.-Willie Carr, a
negro, and his brother, were arrested in
Augusta to-day for the killing of Albert
Harvey, another negro, on the plantation
of Capt. Albert Twiggs, twelve miles

CARES CoMMITrAL.
The Slayer OF Capt. King Bound Over
on the Charge of Murd er.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 25.--Alex Carr, who
shot and killed Capt. H. o. King on
Broad street yesterday afternoon, was
committed to jail to-day to await trial
for murder at the regular term of court.
B. E. Bailey, the railroad man, who was
with Carr when he shot King, was also
committed to Jail to be tried as an acces-
sorry to the crime. Both Carr and Bailey
waived preliminary examination.
The evidence brought out at the coroner
inquest to-day did not disclose any new
facts in the case. Yesterday there was a
report that the real cause of the killing
was a woman, but up TO date this is moth
ing more than an idle rumor. The evil
dence showed that King and Carr had a
dispute over $50. which Carr claimed
King owed him. When the two met in
the afternoon in front of the Chattahoo-
chez River Brick Company's ONCE, Carr
opened fire IL appeared that he was
near the Office door waiting for King to
come out, all the testimony showing a
strong case Of deliberate murder Every
one of the five bullets fired by Carr took
effect. Almost any one of them would
have produced death.
A peculiar point about the killing is the
claim made by both Carr and Bailey that
King had pistol in his hand and was
about to shoot when Carr opened fire.
King was searched several times but no
weapon found upon him. Besides this, a
dozen eye witnesses swore that King had
no weapon and made no attempt TO de-
fend himself.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was
murder, with Carr as principal and Bailey
as accessory. Kings body was taken to
Bolton, S. c., where he was born, for
burial this afternoon.

Six Months.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 25.-Judge West
moreland of the city court, who is just

the Nemesis of the local sports, got in a
hard lick again to-day. Among members
of the athletic club'' who were ar

Mr.. Lloyd entered plea of guilty to
gaming, and sentence was suspended

Lloyd presented TO the court an attidavit
obligating himself never to gamble again.
In view of this Judge Westmoreland said
he would be lenient, so he imposed a fine
of $500 or six months in Jail. But for the
pledge he said he would have sent Lloyd
to jail. Mr. Lloyd is now angry with The
court. He ana his friends say he is per-
