A MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.

Macon, Ga, Nov. 19.-About o'clock tonight, just after the compress had shut down and while gang of twenty five men in charge of Superintendent Gordson and his brother, Hiram, were at work on it. the south end of the plat form at the Central railroad compress broke down, carrying to the ground 5000 bales of cotton and the men at work. Thirteen of the number were injured, but none of them seriously. The super intendent who was standing in the mid dle of the section that fell escaped with out a scratch. Considering the nature of the accident, the escape of the men from death is almost miraculous.

The man died in a station house to which he was carried. An ann bulance surgeon said that death was due to heart failure. There were no marks of violence on the body, but there was a distinct smell of liquor about it and de- tectives were sent out at once to make an Investigation They went to Capt. Sauers' Atlantic Casino, at One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street. and there learned that a man answering the description ot the dead man in every particular had been in the casino between 10 and Il o'clock last night. Charles Horstman, the bartender, says that the man then had a handsome watch and chain. lie re- mained in the casino for half an hour, ana while there bought several drinks and showed a large roll of bills. Of his move ments after that time the police have as vet been able to learn nothing. They eX- amned the ground where he was round, but not a trace of a struggle has been found. There was no watch on the pody when 1t was searched at the station house, and but for the statement of the bartend, CT, the police have no evidence that would point to robbery or assault.

The Alabama Home Building and Loan association now has $1,T00, 900 worth of stock in force and cash receipts Of over $200,000 per annum. The stock in this association has combined the three most desirable features that any invest ment can offer; viz: A cash loan value of 90 cents on the dollar of the amount paid in; a cash withdrawal with a fair rate of interest, or matured value with all accumulated profits.
 To those who wish to lay aside part of their monthly earnings, and have their investment returned to them with large accumulations, at perhaps a time in life when their ability to earn money may be much less than it is today, and at time perhaps when few thousand dollars in cash will bring comfort and happiness to their homes, the stock in this association offers great inducements.

and acquire new ones, and this firm

A great deal has been said recently
about excessive freight rates since the
new system of weighing has been in
sugurated. The general opinion Of
commission men Is that there Is almost
invariably an oVerchsrge. The system
Of weighing is inaccurate, frequently
showing 5000 pounds in excess of true
weights. This causes an endless amount
of trouble and very considerable loss.
The following illustration given by one
of the leading commission firms as
shown by their books is of interest:
In September, 1895, they received
tWentyfour cattle In 36.foot car,
weight 29,900 pounds; tWenty-three
cattle in 36-foOt car, weight q, $50;
total weight, 81, ,439; charges for cars,
$76. The present rate is 1917 cents per
100 pounds, and the rate on the above
shipment would be S93.1l, or SILL in
excess of last years. The railroads
claim that these cars were overloaded,
although the cars were 10000 pounds
capacity. The claim that this meant
dead weight is not good, for it is con-
ceded that live weight is more easily
carried than dead weight. Every
shipper claims that stock will ride
better in car reasonably well filled
than If scantily loaded. To raise the
minimum and make a less charge per
hundred or go back to the old plan of
a specified rate per car seems to be the
only satisfactory way to adjust the
matter. One very responsible firm
claims that the average excess charge
will reach $6 per car.

cut out nearly 300 tacks minute. The
processes are extremely interesting, and
tack factory has many visitors. The
machinery is automatic; narrow strips of
metal are fed in and clipped off, the
heads are made by pressure, and it
literally rains tacks into large boxes
placed underneath to receive them.
They are then poured into a rattler,
which is rapidly revolving cylinder,
through which a jet of air is forced under
high pressure. This removes all of the
dust and loose particles. Black lead is
sometimes put in to give them a polish,
and then they pass on to the sitter,
which sorts them and takes out the
imperfect tacks, leaving the good ones
to be passed on and dropped into box,
from which they are taken to be packed
by quick-fngered girls. A good work
woman can pack 1000 pounds of tacks
in day. When one realizes that many
of these machines are going, and that
tacks at this rate are being sert out to
market, the wonder grows-where all
the tacks go to.-NeGO York Ledger.
