trees with a rubber pump. 1 left the
leaves, the upper and lower part speckled
with sulphur and lime. For weeks it re-
manned on the leaves and in cloudy
weather you could smell the sulphur dis
tinctly. Less sulphur and lime might do.
The result was an abundant crop of very
fine fruit, some of the limbs buckling and

fruit. Pressed for time this season have

Sulphur is the best insecticide know. and

TNO NEGROES ARRESTED FOR THE
JACKsoNBORO DISASTER.

One Of Them Drew the spikes in the
Ties With Il CrOsvbar He Had stolen
From "a section Masters uouse-His
Purpose 10 Rob the Passengers
Killed and Injured by the Wreck
ing of the Train-His Companion
Arrested on SuspiciOn-Their Capt
ure Planned by Detective Cheat
ham.
Two negroes. charged with wrecking
train . on the Charleston and Savannah
railway last Friday night. were arrested
night before last at Jacksonboro. and
were taken to WATERFORD. S. c, jail yes
terday.
The wreck, a fun account of which
has been given in the Morning
News, was caused by drawing the
spikes from several rails at the culvert at
the thirty-eight mile post, by which the
train was made to jump the tracks. For
tunately the guard rail on the trestle
threw the locomotive and the passeng ger
coaches back on the track, but the express
and baggage cars went into the ditch The
mail clerk and his assistant were seri-
Ously injured.
The negroes under arrest refused to give
their names, but the leader was called
Mike by his associates. He gave away the
particulars of the outrage to one whom
he thought was criminal like himself
and that led to his arrest. The other negro
was arrested on suspicion.
Immediately after the wrecking
of the train the railroad authori-
ties put Detective Cheatham of
the Plant system service at work on the
case. He went to Jacksonboro with
one of his colored assistants. A clew was
soon obtained and the colored de-
tective Joined a crowd of negroes in which
was the suspected train wrecker. He was
soon hale fellow well met with the
man. They told each other of the scrapes
they had been in and The train wrecker
told of his exploit on Friday night. He
said he broke open the section masters
house and got a crowbar with which he
pulled out the spikes. He expected the
whole train to go off the track when. in
the confusion and darkness, he would rob
the dead or helpless people aboard of it.
All the cars, however were not thrown
Off the track, and the passengers and
train men rushed out so quickly that he
could do nothing. He added that he would
AAA MS manu- again last ui8uls anu tA-
pected to make a better job of it. The de-
tective and several other negroes agreed
to join him in wrecking the train. The
fellow and another in the crowd were at
one arrested.
The negro is unknown in the
neighborhood of Jacksonboro, never
having been seen in that locality before
the wreck The only name he is known
by is Mike. He is apparently one of the
thousands of tramp negroes who are
wandering over the southern states com
hitting all manner of crimes and whose
numbers are occasionally reduced by a
lynching. They are absolutely without
conscience and think nothing of commit
ting the most infamous crimes.
The people in the vicinity of Jackson
boro believe that six or seven persons
were engaged in the train wrecking, but
the negro Mike claims to have done the
work by himself.

In Africa there exists a certain member
of the crab genus commonly known as the
great tree crab, says an exchange. This
peculiar shell-fsh has an offensive trick
of crawling up the cocoanut trees biting
off the cocoanuts and then creeping down
again backward The theory is that the
nuts are shattered by the fall and the great
tree crab IS thus enabled TO enjoy a hearty
meal. Now, the natives who inhabit the re-
gions infested by this ill-conditioned crab
are wen aware that the lower portion of
the crabs anatomy is soft and sensitive
and they believe that the "bivalve" was
thus constructed In order that he might
know when he had reached the ground
and when consequently he might with safe
ty release his grasp of the trunk SO
what they do in order to stop his depreda-
lions, which often ruin the cocoanut crops
is this: While the crab Is engaged in nip
ping off the cocoanuts they climb half
way up the trees and there drive a row Of
long nails right around the tree, allowing
an inch or 50 Of the nails to project. The
crab has no knowledge OF disaster nor vet
Of the fitness Of things. As he descends
the sensitive part of his body suddenly
touches the nails. Thinking he has reach
ed the ground, he naturally lets go. In
stantly he falls backward and cracks his
own shell on the ground
