From the New York Sun.
Trenton, Sept 2].-The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company today sprinkled with
crude petroleum a section of its railroad
about mile long a, Morrisyille, Pa, and
part of a section ,wo miles long just
east of Trenton. These portions are
ballasted with grave When the fast ex-
press trains rush by thefne sand is raised
in clouds and gel into the passenger
coaches. The remainder of the roadbed is
stone ballasted ana on this there is no
dust. The oil used is first subjected to a
treatment that renders it nOn-cOmbustible
so that there is no danger of fire from fly
ing sparks.
The oiling is done from a tank and
sprinkler on a goniola, which is run at
about five miles an hour. The oil gath
ers the dust and so1ks it into a sort of
mud, so that it cannot fly in the air. The
cost OF oiling the roadbed is about $50 per
mile, and three applications are needed
each year. The company experimental

and Atlantic City las, summer, and the re-
suits We're so satisfactory that the gravel

Mercy Asked For Men Who Planned
and Executed Horrible Murder.

Mercy Asked For Men Who Planned
and Executed a Horrible Murder.
Atlanta, Ga Sept. 23-Attorney Brown
came to the city to-day for the purpose
of making an application for executive
clemency in behalf of Bud Brooks and
Grady Reynolds, the two men sentenced
to be hanged for the murder of M. c.
Hunt at Jefferson tomorrow. Gov. At
knson is, however absent from the city
in North Carolina. and viii not return I'M
til tomorrow morning. so that he cannot
act upon the case until that time. 1t is
hardly likely that he will interfere, as
both men have confessed that they muir
dered Hunt, who was a merchant, for the
purpose of robbing him.
All the preparations for the execution
have been made, and they will be launch,
ed into eternity at noon tomorrow unless
perchance the governor should interpose.
In his confession, Brooks admits that he
planned the murder, but that Reynolds
did the killing. Reynolds says the same
thing They enticed Hunt out into the
woods on the preteXt of a bird hunt and
while in a lonely spot Reynolds slipped
up behind him and crushed his head with
a rock. He was robbed of the money he
| had in his pockets and afterwards the
body was cut open by Reynolds, carried
out into a nearby stream and filed with
rocks, which sunk il to the bottom.
Brooks shared the money taken from
Hunt with Reynolds after having planned
the murder, and in the eye of the law Is
equally guilty with him.

AN AMENDMENT TO THE BILL.
ATLANTA Liquor Men Make New
Point Against the Southern.

1A'htu Ah0uOr wen make a New
Point Against the Southern.
Atlanta, Ca. Sept 2S.-The Southern
railways South Carolina dispensary case
was up before Judge Newman of the Uni
ted States court again to-day. The attor-
neys for Bluthenthal & Bickart asking to
be allowed to file an amendment to their
original bill, which was granted.
The amendment shows that the South
ern and all other railways are accustomed
60 haul crockery glassware, bric-a-brao.
and other such goods packed in straw, and
not inclosed in cases or protected In any
special way to insure against breakage
and thieves. The attorneys made strong
point Of this and allege that the South
ems refusal TO take the jugs, bottles aud
the packages of liquor, was nothing more
than a subterfuge and an excuse to get
out of hauling the goods.
The attorneys will bring in as evidence
upon the hearing the packages containing
the liquor and show the methods OF pack
ing glass and other breakables. They
will make this feature one OF the strongest
points in their fight. and will endeavor to
prove their assertion that the railroad
and the South Carolina authorities are in
collision to keep the Georgia firms whis-
Ky out Of the state.

DEATH OF col. CLARENCE LEVY
Prominent Augusta Man Called
From Earthly LabOrs.

From Earthly LabOrs.
Augusta, Ca, Sept. 23.-About 2 o'clock
this morning Col. I. Clarence Levy died at
his home very unexpectedly to his family
and the community.
He had been in with an acute attack of
Indigestion for several days, but was con-
valescent, and not considered dan
gerously i'll. About 40 o'clock Col. Levy
spoke to his wife, saying he thought it
was time 10 take his medicine. Mrs.
Levy was fixing it for him when he closed
his eyes. and without q word, passed
painlessly away.
HIS death is a great shock to the com
munity. He was universally respected.
Col. Levy is known throughout military
circles in Georgia, and was a leader in
military matters in Augusta. He was the
first colonel of The Sixth Regiment under
the reorganization of the volunteer SOL
diers of the state, and his retirement a
year or two since was much regretted.
He was a very popular man in all circles,
and was a fine business man. He was
but IS years old and is survived by his
wife and two grown children, Mr. Abram
Levy, who is in business with his father,
and Miss Adeline Levy. Mrs. Levy was
Ida Brady of Savannah. Col. Levy has
a brother William Levy, who was assoc
'ciated with hirl in business, and three
sisters, Mrs. Madison ]. Marcus of At
lanta, Mrs. Myers of Boston, and Mrs.
Barnett OF Augusta.
Col Levy was prominent in secret or
Gers he was a Mason, a Knight of Pyth-
las, member of b mai Birth, of the Wood
men of the World, the Red Men, and the
Royal Arcanium. All Of these organiza-
tons, together with the military, will at
tend his funeral on Sunday afternoon, and
the probability is that it viii be the larg-
est funeral in Augusta in years.
Col. Levy had about $4,000 insurance.

LUBRlCATlNG OILS, AND
CONTAINERS.

The sugar season Of 1897 is
at hand, and now that we
have fairly entered on the New
Year it is time to think about
business and making a little
money to spend next Christ
mas. A dollar saved is a dol
lar made, as everyone knows,
and one way to save money is
to use a tirSt-claSs quality of
LUBRlCATING OIL. To those
who are as yet unacquainted
with the "Colorado" Brands, we
beg = 50" that while we do
not u>m~,t u. dccryi;ig the
product of our competitors, we
10 believe in stating the truth
a. W.....,y as possible, namely,
that we have the finest Lubri-
cants, that for density of Wis
costly, high fire test and per-
feet working qualities can not
be excelled.
The Colorado brands of
lubricants are the Diamond"C"
Cylinder Oil, Colorado Cylin-
der Oil, Extra Valve Oil, Red
Seal Waive Oil, Engine Oil,
Dynamo Oil and Machinery
Oils. They are the best and
cheapest in the market.
In addition TO the above we
carry a full line Of lubricants
and lubricating compounds of
all kinds for plantation and
mill use.
We also desire to call atten-
ton to our hand-painted oil
containers, which are useful,
ornamental and economical.
They hold sixty gallons and
will save their cost in a month.
