CHAPTER II.
MY DOUBLE.

Perhaps Professor Gorgensen was
right in declaring himself a second Sol
ONION, whose life would have repeated
precisely that of the Biblical one but
for his nineteenth century environments.
One amazing fact, however, was un-
questionable. He was correct as 70 my
self. Ny strength was as prodigious, as
marvellous, as irresistible as that of the
man who, many centuries ago, slew
1000 with the jawbone of an ass and
pulled down the gates of GAIA after
suffering woeful indignities at the hands
of the Philistines aud dying amid the
ruins, the blind victim Of the faithless
Delilah.

suspected the truth, for was handicap

cept in the event of necessity.

Jack Gibbs raised his hand to strike
little Tim Metcalf, who accidentally
fell over Jacks feet. Tim is a cripple
and could not help himself. 1 caught
Jacks arm and told him that if he
struck Tim would lick him. He didn t

New Building for Olivia

S. E. Cole, the Olivia merchant,
was in town during the week. He
was accompanied by his father,
Capt. S. S. Cole of Gonzales county.
Capt. Cole had just arrived from
the interior and came over to az
range for lumber to build his hotel
on the main street of Olivia. The
new house will start off with eight
rooms and be two stories high, and
the travelling public moving be-
tween the colony and the lower
part of Jackson county and Port
Lavaca can always be assured of
nice accommodations. Mr.. Cole
states that the crops at Olivia and
other places on the coast are much
better than in the interior. He is
satisfied this is a splendid country
and that it will receive a big i'm
migration, The Port Lavncaen.

Yesterdays Ansonia Sentinel says:
State Highway Commissioner Macdon-
aid made an unexpected visit to Derby
yesterday, driving out from New Ha-
ven, so that he might personally inspect
the roads in the associated towns. He
was particularly attracted by the neg
ligence of the authorities in regard to
letting grass and weeds grow beside
the beaten portion of the roads and
Mayor Chaffees attention was called
to the Derby roads In that respect
The commissioner dropped in unex-
pectedly on the mayor and had but a
few minutes to spare, but they drove
together to the section Of the road to
be improved on Derby avenue. The
various conditions existing were point
ed out by the mayor.
The commissioners attention was
called to the fact that on the east side,
for section, no curb and gutter had
yet been laid, but the commissioner
showed how to build a cobble gutter
to substitute, which can still be used
when the curbing is laid.
After viewing the road Engineer
johnson was found and was given in
structions regarding the making of
the plans
These plans or maps are to be mark
ed and II possible will be sent tonight
to the commissioner, who will then
furnish the specifications and forward
them to Derby so that the advertise
ments for bids can be gotten out at
once. The work will be pushed with
all possible dispatch.
Mr.. Macdonald stated that he thought
the present rnacadam on Derby avenue
could be put in good condition by CIV
ing 1t a top dressing of fine trap rock
and allowing it to be worked down by
the regular travel.
