about 5000, the property of all

ploy Of Mrs. SchWarzkof, was
stolen from the latters residence

crime and examined in the Nor

dence was found against him
Several other men had also been
at work in the cellar and the
officers were at a loss as to whom
to suspect.
The case was given to Detect

was a dream of the past. But
Judge Joseph Earle broke the
record when he jumped upon the
stand at Florence, S. c., and
struck Governor Evans on the
head with his fist, getting little
blood drawn from under his eye
in the personal row which fol
lowed. Governor Evans fist
landing in his tace. 1t was an
exciting episode and a most
painful spectacle-the Governor

i'll public "scrap." The trouble
was caused by Mr.. Evans allud~
ing to Mr.. Earle as a flee with
his tail cut. The whole Court~
room was wild with excitement
for at least fifteen minutes.
Friends crowded around the two
men after they had been very
forcibly separated. A number
of pistols were drawn and held
i'll the hands of their owners
ready for Use Governor Evans
was speaking when the incident
occurred, Mr.. Earle having

Just What's Needed

Exclaims thousands of people who
have taken Hoods Sarsaparilla at this
season of the year, and who have noted
the success Of the medicine in giving
them relief from that tired feeling,
waning appetite and state of extreme
exhaustion after the close confinement
of long winter season, the busy time
attendant upon a large and pressing
business during the spring months and
with vacation time yet some weeks
distant. 1t is then that the building up
powers of Hoods Sarsaparilla are fully
appreciated. 1t seems perfectly adapt
ed to overcome that prost1ation caused
by change of season, climate or life,
and while it tones and sustains the sys-
tenn, it purifes and vitalizes the blood.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires CON
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
1y upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for

THE FATHER OF A WOULD-BE
GROOM OBJECTS TO y BIGAr
NOUS MARRIAGE.

On Mord " last Stafford county,
Va, was thrown into a state of
great excitement by the unlock =
ed for interruption of a marriage
ceremony. When the preacher
asked if any one knew any cause
why the parties should not be
married the father of the groom
rose and objected because his
son was already married. The
sons name is William Barbour
and the bride to be Emma An
derson. All are of high social

read from the wife of the would
be groom. The preacher refused
to go on with the ceremony and
Barbour departed.

A MINERS MAIL BAG.
THE CARRIER MANAGED TO SAW
HIS LIFE BUT LOST HIS JOB.

!
When we got to the postothce
at the mining town of Straw
berry Hill the mail bag had te
be carried to and from Bluff City
over the hills by a man on foot
The distance was nine miles anC
was traversed twice a week
One "Wednesday the carrier came
in without the bag and the 400
men assembled around the shanty
used as a postofhce at once de'
manded an explanation.
"I'll tell you how it was be-
gan the man, who was bleeding
from a dozen hurts. cup thar at
the bend / was tackled by a
bar
"And you killed him, Of course,
replied one of the crowd.
"No; l left my gun behind. y
"Then you lodged hiln?"
"No. Tried to dodge him, but
he was right thar"
"Then you ran aWay?'
mo chance to run. The crit
ter was after me or that mail bag
and | heaved him the bag and
got away. He clawed me a few
times, but it's nuthin to hurt.
"Stephen Jackson said Judge
Watkins, in solemn tones, as a
murmur of indignation passed
through the crowd, -"do you
mean to tell us that that you gin
that mail bag to that barr"
81 had to.
"Didn that bear seem to pre-
fer you to the bag?'
"Reckon he did
"And you felt that he did?'
"Yes; felt purity strong that
way"
"And yit, after WARM to up
hold the sacred constitution of
the United States and defend
that mail bag with your life, you
calmly fed it to barr"
Had to do it to git away
"But who said anything about
you gettln' away, 1t was you
solemn dooty to perish right
thar! 1t was your dooty, sir, as
a patriot and a mail carrier and a
government ofhshull to hang
that mail bag to a limb and let
that bar go ahead on your kar-
kass! You hev escaped the bar,
but YOU hev to deal with the
outraged feelin's of this yer
camp! Stephen Jackson, how
do you prefer to die?"
"By hangin'
"Wall, we'll send two men up
to the bend. Ifthey git the bag
you are saved; if the bar has de
voured it we'll hang you by the
neck till you ar dead.'
The men found the bag and
the carriers life was saved, al
though he lost his job. SinguN
larly enough, the bag contained
but one letter, and that was a
,nissive for Judge Watkins from
his wife i'll Ohio, saying he need
mt come home, as she had app
piled for a divorce and expected
to marry better nlan.-Detroit

NATURAL ICE FACTORY.
1t is Said to Exist in Virginia
and Works in Summer.

ice factory III the world one
that goes right OH with its work
through Summers heat and
Winters SHOWS yet such a phe>
nomenon is presented by this
(Scot0 county says correspond
cnt of the Richmond Times.
This phenomenon has been
questioned as to its cxistance by
scientific men, who regard such
a thing as impossible and con>
trary to the we'll regulated laws
of nature. The writer himself
doubted the glowing stories he
had heard of it till he went there
himself and had All ocular dem>
onstration of its existence.
Stony Creek is a clear, bod
stream that thunders down over
rough powders from Stone and
Powell's Mountains on the north
side of this county, and empties
into Clinch river at Fort Blacka-
more, the first place settled in
all this section. About five
miles from the mouth of Stony
Creek is the mouth of an affluent
known as the Devils Fork. One
mile and quarter up this stream
is the "iceburg," as it is known
in that section.
All around this place the lau-
rel and birch grow so densly
that it is with the greatest diff
Guilty one gets through it. The
basin on which the "berg" is
situated embraces about half an
acre. On the north side the
precipice makes gentle curve,
and Oh the south side there is 4
curvilinear indention in the
mountain, giving the basin an
elliptical form. The open space
is all immense aggregation of
huge beulders. 1t was a humid
rainy morning and the rocks
over which we had been walk
ing presented no appearance Of
ice. But the instant we steps
ped into the opening embracing
the "berg" the rocks were
sheathed with ice, and we had to
take heed of our footsteps. We
then paused and looked down
into the openings in the rocks.
There were the solid blocks of |
ice, completely filling the ere
vices and giving the appearance
that the whole place was pre-
pared by nature as a storehouse
for that which alleviates the in>
tensity of Summers merciless
calorlc. Everywhere was ice,
crystal and clear. Under the
lodges appeared stalaglnites of
ice, and down the neither sides of
the rock a resemblance to honey
comb. At one point an opening
ten feet in depth was made last
Summer, and from it great
blocks of pure, solid ice were
obtained. Those who made the
say that it was so
cold in summer that they could |
remain at the work only a few
minutes.
From all indications the ice
extends to the depths Of many
feet and covers a large surface.
People OF the vac:nity go there
III August and without trouble
get ice. There is a variety Of
moss, long and Aeecy, growing
upon the rocks and adjacent trees,
in which they can wrap the ice
and carry it long distances.
Many theories have been adj
concerning the phenom-
enon, but your correspondent
differs from all of them and adj
vances the idea that it is simply
