taken the building fever also and has
just begun the erection of a frame

jail. This will be nice house also,
and DR.. Downing will occupy it.

The cases OF Hamp and John ID.
Drew and Frank Gamble, who were
charged with taking q horse and
buggy from the hitehrack, near the
Methodist church, in Keytesville, on
the night OF Aug. 10th, and which
had been driven to town by Martin
Ulrich, Of near Salisbury, came up
In Justice Singleton g court, at Key
tesville, last Friday afternoon.
It will be remembered that the
Drews and Gamble, while under. the
influence OF liquor, drove the horse
and buggy to a point, near Pee Dee,
for the purpose Of taking John ID.
Drew home, and that Hamp Drew
and Gamble then drove the rig back
to the vicinity of their home, near
Scribner schoolhouse, four or five
miles northeast OF Keytesville, and
left the horse and buggy in the road,
which were found at an early hour
on Sunday morning, near the resi-
dence Of VIM. Tillerson.
When the cases we're called for trial
last Friday, Ed. t. Miller, who ap
peared as attorney for the Drews
and Gamble, asked for a severance,
which was granted, and the case OF
the state against Hsmp Drew was
first taken up. Drew demanded
jury trial, which resulted in his con-
victitn and the imposition OF a fine
OF S25 and costs, amounting in all
to about S45.
After the dose that mad been given
Hamp was announced, Gamble and
John ID. Drew concluded to throw
themselves upon the mercy oil the
court by entering plea OF guilty.
Gamble was fined SO and costs and
John ID. Drew So and costs.
In default OF payment OF their fines
and costs, Hamp Drew and Gamble,
two OF the worst and most obstrepe
rous characters that ever infested
this vicinity, were sent to Jail,
and through the magnanimIty CD OF
the court, Drew was allowed %
and Gamble So a day while serving
out their fines and costs on the rock
pile and getting three square meals
day at the eounty's expense.
Thus in a little over a week both
OF ttese hoodlums would again be
turned loose in the community IL IL
were not that Constable f. NJ. Veatch
will arrest Gamble, as soon as his
time in the county bastile expires,
on a warrant sworn out by John Q.
Perkins, charging him with
disturbing thepeace OF the prosecu-
ting witness (Perkins) whom they
met in the road, near Scribner school
house, about 10 days ago and COM
meuced to abuse.
Hamp Drew and Gamble have been
terrors to that community for some
time, and the action Of Justice Sin
gieton in allowing them s. and % .
day, respectively, while working out
their fines and costs, is strongly con-
demned by the very best citizens In
that neiebburhood, and they are
talking uf getting up a
petition asking Singleton to
resign the Office OF justice oil the
peace, bur. like Riley Hall, Singleton
knows a good thing W hen he possess
co it, and will, we believe, decline to
step down and out.

 The renewed impetus given to the in- terest in everything Japanese by the brilliant victory of the island kingdom over China may bring us saki It es- tablished itself in California three or four years ago, and it's Importation has been increasing erer since at rapid rate.
 The use of satyi as a popular drink, :" said a California geEeleman the other day, has grown, and is growing so last as to seriously affect the sale of our native wines. The competition was first felt in the case of Hawaii. After it's in troduction there the Hawaiians took to 1t to such an extent thaE our importa- tions to the island began to show sharp decline. For 1893 the California wines sent to the island amounted to over ll6,00O gallons Last year they dropped to something over 95,0D0, a decrease of 25,O00 gallons. The importation of san during the same peficd rose from less than 10000 gallons 10 nearly 73U0g gal Ions.

Drinkers are slways ready to try some new form of alcoholic stmulant, and it has not been difficult, under the creum- stances to Interest them in saki It is iiOt s uIilh WHICH appeals to CulllNdteu palates, but for the man who wants to get the largest amount of sensation with the least expenditure of money there is nothing in. the drink line that equals it. man can get hilarious in an almost in credibly short space of time. Some of our cheap whisky in this country upset the mental faculties pretty quickly, but a man with saki can give another with whisky cards and spades as it were, and then beat him. Another feature about saki is that it is, perhaps, even more injurious than poor whisky, and a man who gets to using it habitually is going post haste to the potter's field, The effect upon the Hawaiians, who have to- great extent abandoned gin, which was formerly the favorte tipple, in favor of the Japanese beverage, is said to- be something terrible. l hope something will happen to check it's pro- gress in this country, but for those who have acquired a taste for bad liquor the. worse 1t Is the better they like it, and unfortunately a considerable proportion of the drinking population are of this description

PRESIDENT SIGNS HE ORDER
Placing the Government Printing Office Under
 Civil Service.


 Washington, June 13-At the confer ence this evening between the prsident and the public printer and civil service commission the president signed the order placing the employees of the government printing office under the civil service.
 The revised draft of the order, which was draw up at the conference of few days ago, was again considered, and after changes and interlineations, sey- eral of which were made by the presi- dnt had been adopted the president signed the order, which he retained pos session of. The order will include all of the employees, over 2500 in number with the exception of the lowest grade of laborrs, and provisions are made for tCErty to nlnety-edy appointments in case of emergency, such as occur many times during the session of congress, when much additional work is neees- sary.
 The order will in all probability go into effect in a few days. or as soon as arrangements can be made for holding examinations. The examination will consist mostly of questions of a practi cal character relating to the various trades, and will contain but a small per cent of scholastic inquisitions
 The idea, which originated with the employees themselves, and which at first was opposed by the bool1binders will In no way interfere with the regulations of the various trades unions represented, and the new regulations require at least four years apprenticeship and one year as journeyman of all new appointees.

J. Drexel. and it was for this reason that the heavy insurance was taken out.

The Mystery of the Dangerous Current in

 Readers of the imaginative romances of Jules Verne and Edgar Allen Poe will be familiar with the horrors therein described which surround the maelstrom, that famous region of whirling waters situated between two of the Lofoden islands on the northwestern coast of Norway. Thoug often described as a whirlpool, the dreaded stream is in real ity Q swiftly moving current running in 3 narrow strait, where the water is dangerously rough Every twelve hours the stream imakes al circular revolu- tion, which fact has probably given rise to the many fabulous tales of ships be- ing swallowed up in the vortex. The par ticular causes leading to the formation of this dangerous eddy have long mystified navigators, and the reputation of the lo- cality has been considerably affected by the frequent occurrence of violent storms, suddenly breaking out from the west ward, when any venturSome craft that may be under the mercy of the strong currents are severel handled.

Delights in Reading and Hearing Stories of
 Worthy Deeds.
 The Emperor of China's favorite wife is a young thing, but intelligent withal, for she delights in reading and hearing stories of the deeds done by ancient worthies. The late war news has some what disturbed her peace of mind, though precius little of it sifted into the imperial arcanum. With watching the antics of a trained dog and monkey and. her performing sheep she has managed to kill time, while her lord and master has been making ducks and drakes of his empire. But under the new dis pensation of affairs, with China open to progress and her conflicting neighbors, the young empress may find her future career more exciting. and, if she is as clever as they make her out, will take immediate advantage of the changes. It remains to be seen if the literati are sufficiently brainy to seize the oppor7 tunitY
