ed before Chief Justice McIver in a case
entitled John L. BarriDger and Tbeo

praying for an injunction against the
issuing of licenses for the sale Of liquor
in the city Of Florence. An order was
granted making the rule %returDable on
Monday before the Supreme Court
The order in the case reads
j. L Barringer and Theodore Kuker,
petitioners, VS. city council, respond
ents.
Upon reading the petition Of J. l..
Barringer aud Theodore Kuker herein
it is ordered that the respondents do
show cause before the Supreme Court Of
South Carolina, at Columbia. at II
o'clock A. NJ. on Monday, the 7th day
of May, A.. D. 1894, Why an Injunction
should not be issued by said Court
restraining respondents as said city
council of Florence from issuing licenses
to sell intoxicating liquors 10 the said
city of Florence, as prayed for in petit
ton, and for such other and further
relief as the said Court may seem just
1t is further ordered that a copy of the
within order be served on the respond
ents herein.
HENRY McIvER. Chief Justice.
In addition j. Ellis Brunson was
arrested by Mayor Hursey for selling
liquor, aud is now in the custody Of the
chief of police. Mr.. Wilcox appeared
for Nj. Brunson and asked for a writ
of habeas corpus. This was granted
and vas also made r~eturnable on Mon
day. The real intention Of the case is
to have the entire dispensary issue up
before the Court aud decided as soon as
possible. The order In the habeas cor
pus proceedings reads:
County of Florence. Sd Judicial Circuit
-Ex parte j. Ellis Brunson-Peti-
ton for writ of habeas corpus.
To G.. S. Turbeville. Chief Of the
Police of the City Of Florence, S. c.:
1t having been brought before me by
the petition Of J Ellis BruosoD that as
chief of police Of the city of Florence,
S. c., you unlawfully declare his person
is custody, and the said j.. Ellis Brun-
sor having peti,ioned for a writ of
habeas corpus to bring said petitioner
before the Supreme Court to inquire
into the cause of his detention by you as
aforesaid, you are hereby ordered and
required to bring the body of the pri-
soner before the Supreme Court. at
Columbia, S. c.. at II O'Clock A. NJ,
on Monday, the 7th day Of May, A. D.
1894, that the cause of his commitment
being known and seen, such further
proceedings may be had thereon as are
agreeable to law and justice.
HENRY McIvER. Chief Justice.
This course is taken, as it is not
thought that the Administration will
undertake to interfere in these cases,
although they may try to do SO. The
habeas corpus proceedings are identical
with those Of Rollins, who vas released
by order from Columbia, except that the
arrests were made BY the city instead of
the county authorities. The injunction
proceedings are, however, something
new. 1t is certainly to be hoped that
the matter can and will be finally
adjudicated next Monday.-Columbia

Lemons as Medicine.

The medicinal value of the lemon is
not properly appreciated, even among
physicians. Lemonade is one of the
best drinks for any one, whether we'll
or ill.,. being good for all stomach
diseases and useful in case of jaun-
dice, liver complaint, and fevers. For
skin complaints it is invaluable. The
pippins crushed with sugar and water
make an excellent drink. Lemonade
is the best antiscorbutic remedy
known, and it or its equivalent is
carried on all ships. The hands and
nails may be kept white with lemon
Juice, which will also cure chilblains.
Neuralgia may often be remedied by
rubbing the affected spot with lemon
juice. It will alleviate, if not cure,
coughs and colds and is often of value
in cases of diseased lungs. In Italy
it's use in malarial and intermittent
fevers has long been known and many
Roman doctors use no other medicine
in such cases.

Winnipeg, Man, June ia bad acct
dent occurred yesterday to the west
bound express, due here this morning.
The accident occurred at the crossing of

high speed when the accident occurred.
The body of Mrs. Barker was fclnd
some distance down the river. All the

al and Toronto, posted on Thursday, was

TALES OF STRENGTH.
Men Who Could Kill a Bull With
Their Fists

Men Who Could Kill a Bull With
Their Fists
After the Spanish occupations Of
the Grand Canary a certain enormous
stone was for a long time pointed out
as one of the instruments of the
Gaunche athletic courses. T enatives
had been able to lift it, set it on their
shoulders and even throwit over their
head. Their degenerate posterity
and the Spaniards could not raise it
from the ground. Tradition has i'm.
mortalized nj Adorgoma OF Grand
Canary, who could wrestle for two
consecutive hours and having been
thrown undermost in a certain con.
test got his antagonist between his
legs and arms and squeezed him
so that his bones began to crack.
The native was subsequently taken
prisoner to Spain, where he astound-
ed the people by his performances.
One day in Seville he was visited by
a brawney youth OF La Mancha, who
was anxious to try a bout with him.
"My good FRIEND" said Adargoma,
las W. are going to wrestle togeth-
er it is only reasonable that we
should begirby drinking something"
A large bowl OF wine having been
brought, he took this in one hand
and continued to address his challeng-
er: eff with both your arms you
car overpower one of mine, SO as to
hinder me from drinking every drop
OF this wine, we will try our strength
together. Ii not you may return to
your home" The struggle took place
and Adargoma by degrees drained
the bowl in the coolest manner with
out spilling a drop of the wine. His
one hand was more than a match for
the two. It was reckoned nothing out
of the common for q man to take an
untethered OK by the horn with one
hand and slay it with the other. A
certain native-born priest OF Grand
Canary, in the seventeenth century
showed that ne inherited some OF his
ancestors vigor, for one day hearing
that an enraged bullhad broken loose
and was III the street, he ran out and,
grasping it by the leg, threw it down
and so held it until its owner was
able to secure it. This doughty son
of the church beforeh his death CHANGED
to have one Of his legs amputated for
a cancer. 1t was then found that his
thigh bone vas solid, with no trace OF
marrow. 1t must be confessed, how
ever, that the relics of the Canarians
now found in their burying places do
not bear out the inference that this
was a national characteristic, though
their dimensions are certainly a tes-
timony of the strength and size OF
their late proprietor.-Nationa Re.

A Man Who Was Curious.

A well-known newspaper man, whose
custom it is to take long walks in the
suburbs, was pursuing his way last
summer, when as he passed an or.
chard he noticed all the trees but
one we'll filled with apples.
"That's strange" he remarked to
his companion, a brother journalist.
"What's the reason, do you i'm
agine?" asked the other.
"Here comes a boy, I'll ask him."
and the journalist tackled the boy.
"Fine apples you have tor an off
year." he said, with an air of freedom
and acquaintance with facts.
"They are So, replied the boy.
"Where do you sell them mostly?"
"We don't sell 'em. Make cider"
"Ah, they are cider apples?"
"Course; couldn't make cider if they
wasn't"
every true. By the way, my boy, !
notice one tree over there by the fence
hasn't an apple on it. Do you know
why that is?"
"Of course 1 do"
"Well, my friend and 1 are q little
curious, and would like you to tell us
if you will. Here's a shilling for your
trouble and loss of time"
Certainly. It's cause it's a plum
tree, mostly"
The man of inquiring mind hung his
head, and went on with a firm resolve
to refrain from curiosity in the future.

~-ooo6-BYE. JAKE"

A Pathetic incident Attendant Up
on the Death Of a Brother.
Jacob Michael, so years Of age, was
killed near Cheekowaga by and Erie
railway train, says the Buffalo Com
mercial.
Michael was a bachelor, and with q
bachelor brother kept house zeal the
city line.
The brothers we're wealthy. For
several years they owned a small
farm just east OF the city and by
hard work they managed to make q
bare living, then the boom struck the
locality and they suddenly found
themselves the owners of a very
valuable tract of land. Agent after
agent called upon them making what
seemed to them fabulous offers for the
property.
AZ each offer was made one of them
marked it upon the stove-pipe: and
they firmly declined to sell. The
figures grew as the column mounted
upward toward the smoke.begrimed
ceiling. Finally an offer of $3.50 per
acre was made them, and, as the
stove-pipe wouldhold no more figures,
they concluded to accept it, and the
farm vas accordingly sold.
A pathetic incident in connection
with Jacobs death was the Identified
ton OF the body OF his brother
Nicholas.
The body was placed in a plain
coffin after the accident and word
sent to Nicholas.
The surviving brother hurried to
the station and when the cover was
lifted from the coffin he stopped down
and raised the.:dead mans head rev.
erently. He gazed tixedly at the
face for a full minute. Yes he said
in broken English, "That's Jake
Goodbye Jake, l hope you are in
heaven. You will have a better time
there than you ever had here. I'll
never see you again-good-bye Jake"
and he let the dead mans head sink
back into the box, while big honest
tears ran down his wrinkled, weather.

MIR. McCleary's Plan 10 Connect Hud-
son Bay ard the Gulf II Mcxtc".
Washington, June IL. Representative
McCleary of Minnesota, who il a mem
Der of the committee on railroads and ca
nails. has laid the foucdation Of a scheme
to connect the Gulf Of Mexico with Hud-
son bay. This IS a project which has
caused more or less discussion in the
Northwest, end surveys for other pur-
poses have been used in making com2uta-
lions as to the feasibility Of the plan.
MI. McCleary now proposes that the
United States government shall, in con-
nection with the Canadian government,
make a preliminary survey to ascertain
whether, in the first place, the scheme is
feasible, and, if SO, what the probable
cost will be-. Mr.. McCleary's plan is to
have the survey made by the way of the
Minnesota river, whose headwaters and
those of the Red River of the North near
ly join through Big Stone and Traverse
lakes. In high water boats of considera-
BILE size have crossed from one lake to the
other, and it would not require a very
large canal to connect the waters of the
Red and Minnesota rivers.

Old Methods OF Reckoning Tine.

The early christians did not use the
method Of reckoning time now gen.
orally employed, but such methods as
were common at the time when they
lived and in the countries of which
they were natives. Roman christians
used the Roman method, Greek chris
tians the Olympiads. Jewish chris
tians the Jewish calendar. The chris
tian era, as distinctive from all these,
was first employed A. D. 527 by Diony-
sus Exiguus, u monk Of Scythia
and abbot OF a monastery situated in
the valley of the Danube. The use of
tine christian era began in Italy about
the beginning OF the seventh century,
about $50 spreadinto France, and be-
came general there in the eighth. A
document dated Ammo Domino $50,
and purporting to have been written
in England, is extant. but the use of
the era was not general on the island
till the beginningof the eighth century.
In SIG the council OF Chelsea ordain.
cd that bishops and other ecclesias-
tics should date documents according
to the christian era. In Spain, owing
to the presence and power OF the
MQors, the christian e.a did not pass
into general use until about 1856,
and in Portugal it was not adopted
till 1415. In the eastern empire and
Greece it was not generally employed

Simple Safeguard Against Cholera
DR.. Daremberg, the official investi.
gator i'll the French capital, gives a
simple safeguard against the infection
of this disease. A solution OF seven
and a half grains of citric acid to a
quart of water, will, he says, abso-
lutely destroy the bacillus of cholera,
and if the strength OF the solution is
raised to fourteen grains to the quart
it will also kill the bacillus OF typhoid.
Nothing, could be simpler than this,
for citric acid and SUI gar and water
make a delicious and quite wholesome
lemonade, and the strength prescrib.
ed would hardly do more than make
the water slightly acid to the TASTE.
