TRAIN WRECKERS ARRESTED
One of Them Confessed That He Wrecked the Train Because He WaStn't Paid for
 His Horse.

Montgomery, Dec. 20.-(Special.)- Three negroes were arrested at Hayne- vile. Ala, tonight charged with having wrecked the Louisville and Nashville train near Morgansville, sixteen miles below here, last night. One of them, Gil bert Giles, has made a sworn confession. He alleges that one Joe Samuels. col ored, recently had a horse killed by an engine on the Louisville and Nashville road, and payment for 1t was refused. Samuels, Charles Jenkins and Giles then combined to wreck passenger train No. f. from New Orleans, due here at p. m. They accordingly pulled the spikes from the ties at the bottom of rather steep incline. Just beyond the point was a trestle. The surroundings were admira- bly adapted to a destructive wreck. For tunately freight, which the scoundrels had not expected, came along just ahead of No. and sprung the trap. The freight was completely wrecked, but no one was hurt. A kind providence alone saved the train hands.
 Chief Detective Warner and Local De- tective Watts went to work on the case this morning, and tonight secured the affidavit of Giles, who was a section hand, to the confession as stated.

ing in This City Today.
 In the parlor of the Morris hotel today will be held a meeting of the directors of the southern association of baseball clubs. Sev- eral important matters will come up for con- sideraton at this meeting, among which is the question of awarding the, pennant for the year 1895, Atlanta and Nashville both claiming it.
 The next most important question will be the selection of cities which are to be mem bers of the association next year. The cities Nashville, Atlanta, Montgomery Mobile and New Orleans. Two more will be needed to complete the circuit The directors are anxious to have Birmingham come in, as this would materially lessen the travelling expenses of every club in the association.
 The question has been but little discussed in this city, and consequently no enthusiasm over the matter exists.

W. H. Harlow, white, bought himself jag last night, say the police. He went out with it along the pavements to let it effervesce. In the hilarity of his spir- it's he conceived the jocose scheme of frightening pedestrians with a pistol. The cylinder was removed, but he ere ated several sudden surprises by point ing the shining weapon unexpectedly at passers by. Captain Weir and Officer Walton gathered MT. Harlow and his gun and the jag and locked up the three in the city prison. The city will be richer and MT. Harlow wiser when Judge Fea- gin gets a Whack at him this morning.

There is no secret now as to what was the
matter with George J.. Bergen Of Jamaica,
i. l. His friends thought he had gone into
q decline, and possibly, had heart disease.
And~no doubt he did; but it all came from
the dyspepsia, and since that has been
cured, his heart disease has disappeared also.
He told a reporter of the Times what cured
him the other day, and his conversation is
repeated here:

COOLING BOX FOR BUTTER.

down into the bottom of the box. To
facilitate the cooling the butter is
rolled into an arch, as shown in the
cut. In large diaries these boxes are
large enough to admit of placing two
or three layers of butter to cool at
once.
Every dairy is supplied with several
scales Of varying sizes. The decimal
weight is used everywhere. Instead
of moving the weight along on the
lever arm, as we usually do, there are
two platforms, one on which to place
the object to be weighed and on the
other the weights Of different Sizes
In many dairies they use weight on
the receiving platform for the milk,
which has a basin holding from SO to
rs gallons The milk is poured into
this, and when a certain weight is
is tipped so that it empties its contents
into the large milk vat.
Many styles of buckets and milk
cans are used. They are generally
made of heavy tin and they are not
infrequently enormous in size. The
cans in which the milk is transported
are of two general forms, square and
round, and the mouth is so large that
it admits a hand and arm readily.
Frequently the weight of the can is
stamped upon it, or it is stamped upon
brass plate and soldered to, the can,
thus obviating the weighing of the can.

SAVED HIS BURNING SHIP.
An American Captains Novel Plan for
Saving Vessel and Cargo.


One of the most brilliant pieces of
ocean-wrecking seamanship on record,
whereby the vessel, far out in the At
lantic, with her cargo on fire, was
saved and brought safely to port, was
performed on board the American ship
John Jay, commanded by Capt Samuel
jackson, says Harper's Young People.
When two weeks out the cargo was
discovered to be on fire. The captain
determined upon his course of action.
He had the carpenter lowered over the
rail and instructed him to bore several
holes low down by the water line. The
vessel was then put on the other tack
so that she would be heeled over on
the sides where the holes had been
made. The water shot through these
openings. and after the ship had been
allowed to sink almost to the level of
the deck she was put around on the
other tack again, SO that the holes
came within two or three feet of the
top of the water. Several of the sail
ors, with lines made fast under their
arms, and holding long wooden pegs
and hammers, slid down along the side,
steadying themselves by ropes that had
been passed under the vessel and
hauled taut, so that they came along
side of the holes. The tapering pins
were thrust into the openings and
knocked tight, then the vessel was put
before the wind to get an even keel,
and the crew turned to and pumped
her out.

gressive dairyman of South Coventry.
Conn Here is his system and its results:
If results are criterion, the system
appears to be a good one The cows
are nearly all grade Jerseys, II of the
20 being dehorned. They are kept in
milk from 1919 to II months, being
bred as soon as possible after calving.
The plan is to feed the cows all they
will eat and to feed frequently in or
der that they will clean up each ra-
ton. The grain used is mixture
made up of 100 pounds gluten meal,
200 pounds fine feed or middlings, and
200 pounds provender. The cows are
fed at a. m. with 81 to pounds
grain, this being the time of the morn
ing milking, and at a. m. % to 25
pounds corn silage. The stables are
cleaned at $50 and the COWS let out
into yard and watered with warm
water. AS soon as this is done they
are fed from to pounds of good hay.
At IL m, the remnants and enough
good hay to make about ~ pounds
per cow are cut up, tablespoonful of
salt and from 3 to 80 pounds grain
added for each cow, which is mixed up
with warm water.
