passed the three-masted schooner Helen
Bonnette Saturday noon, twelve minutes
east northeast of Charleston.
The Vigilants and the Guytons will cross
bats at the park this afternoon, and the
game will doubtless be a good one. The
Nell boys will most likely be the battery
for the Etfinghamites, while Readick or
Ward will pitch for the Niglants.
Ben. Jones. colored, was arrested last
night by Detective Wetherhorn as a sus-
picious character. When the detective
met Jones on West Broad street the lat
ter had a sack on his shoulder. which wa2
found TO contain a shovel. A fine pistol
was also found on him.
Capt. w. I. Gibson, owner of the steam
er Vigilant, says that he has not leased
his steamer to be taken north for the
summer. A proposition was made to
lease. he says, but he will only part with
the Vigilant on a straightout sale. He
has named his price, and will get an an

sold, another boat will be placed on the
Warsaw route at once, which will prob
ably be the steamer Manatee, which is
now on the St. Johns river.

RAIL AND CROssTIE.

IAN electric weed-killer for destroying
the weeds and other vegetation along a
railroad track-which are a source Of con-
siderable expense to railroad companies
has recently been invented" says Elec-
tricity, land is described as consisting Of
an alternating generator mounted on a
car and producing electricity at 200 volts
pressure and stepped up to from 5000 20
2iO00 volts, depending on the kind and
quality Of the vegetation which 1t is
wished to destroy. The conductivity Of
vegetable bodies varies the
moisture within them varies /;
the greater the moisture the less resis-
lance they offer the current. The current
after being stepped up to the voltage no.
ticed. is conducted through a series Of
fine wires or brush TO the top of the weeds
or grass; the other side Of the circuit Is
made through the wheels OF the car, as
a matter Of course, to the ground; the
current, therefore, will leap from the
brush suspended over the weeds through
the weeds 10 the ground. and thus COM
plete the circuit: but in doing so the cur
rent traverses the entire length OF the
plant. including the roots. and ruptures
the cellulor tissues, thereby totally de-
stroying II. This destruction seems to be
system, the root suffering perhaps more
than the body OF it from the fact that
the roots generally contain more mois-
ture. II is said that in many cases the
current in passing through the plant heats
it to such an extent that IL cannot be
held in the hand without discomfort"
