A CaIf's Costly Meal.

WASHINGTON, February H.-Treasurer
Morgan to-day received little wooden
box from Texas containing wad of what
appeared to be fragments of United States
bills. Later in the day a letter from ].
Blacingame, of small town near Gal
weston, Texas, arrived at the treasury de-
partments, which explained the contents
of the box: The wad of green paper is
all that is left of S2l0 owned by Mr..
Blacingame, which he rescued from the
stomach of a yearling calf. 1t seems that
the Texan recently sold a herd of cattle.
for which he received S470 in bills as fol-
lows: One 800, one $50, and sixteen $40
bills. He placed the money in an ordi-
nary memorandum pocketbook, but the
bills were in such position that the ends
stuck beyond the edge of the book.
Blacingame carelessly threw his coat on
the ground in COW lot, and yearling
coming along saw the green bills and
proceeded to devour them. The animal
took in the entire bunch at one mouthful
and was discovered in the act of chewing
Blacingame's $470r The Texan, with
the assistance of his brother, succeeded
in recovering from the mouth of the cali
thirteen of the $50 bills in comparatively
uninjured condition. This money was
afterward passed off by Blacingame in
payment for some cattle. The calf was
shortly killed and from its stomach was
taken mass of chewed bills, stained and
discolored. The fragments were boxed
up and sent to the redemption division Of
the treasury department. Blacingame
prepared sworn statement Of the disap-
pearance of his money and forwarded il
to Treasurer Morgan. The latter had the
case examined and found the facts to be
as stated. Accordingly $2l0 in crisp
new bank notes were to-day sent to the
cattle dealer to replace the money masti-

A Railroad Massacre.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, February III
About 4 o'clock this afternoon on the
Southern Railway, four miles from this
city, incoming passenger train NO. I,
travelling at high rate Of speed. struck q
q covered country wagon, which was try
ing to clear the tracks ahead of the train
at Avondale Crossing. The wagon was
hit squarely in the centre and with its
occupants hurled high into the air. The
occupants were: Mrs. W. J. Woodward,
her eight children and one grandchild,
and all but one were killed.
The dead are: Mrs. William j. Wood
ward, Mrs. Lizzie Woodward Montgom-
ery, married daughter, aged 90: her
two-months infant daughter; George T..
Woodward, aged %; Della Woodward,
aged is; Mary Woodward, aged 15; Daisy
Woodward, 10. The last two named lin
gered several hours after the accident. A
striking feature of the catastrophe is that
no limbs were broken, but in nearly every
case the skulls Of the victims were crush
ed to fragments, each body seeming to
describe an ellipse through the air and
falling upon its head, several fifty to one
hundred feet from the scene. Lizzie
descended on the pilot Of the locomotive
and still held her two-year-old sister, who
escaped with few scratches and was the
only one saved, in her lifeless arms. The
unfortunates we're the family of we'll
known farmer living near Kings Point,
Tenn. They were returning home from
this city in a wagon Of the "prairie
schooner type and George Wood ward,
the oldest son, was driving. Nearing the
crossing the young man heard the dan
ger signal and tried to check his team,
which, however, became unmanageahle
and dashed on the track. The crossing is
particularly dangerous, as trees fringe the
railroad almost to the crossing, which is
also partly hidden behind curve. Fifty
yards from the place the engineer, Abra-
ham Laird, reversed his lever, giving
the usual danger signal, but too late to do
any good. The ground for some distance
presented a CORY sight. The bodies were
gathered up after much searching and
taken to the morgue, where the nine
members Of the same family made
gruesome spectacle. The infant, which
was undoubtedly shocked to death. lay
like wax figure in its mothers arms.
Every window in the passenger coaches
were broken and the engines pilot was
demolished. The engineer is absolved
from blame for the accident. The father
and one child remain of family of

Wild for Bryan.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 24.-Wm. j.
Bryan received en- ovation from the house
to-day.
Business was practically suspended.
While the Speaker raped for order the
applause rang through the hall and ech-
oed from the galleries as Bryan appeared
in view.
The democratic members crowded
around him and created such commo-
ton that the Speaker kept rapping loudly
for order.
Finally Bryan retired to the cloak room
on the arm Of Bailey and held reception
to the democratic members. When be
re-entered the chamber, interest in the
late candidate had not abated. Bryan took
his old seat and was soon the centre of 30
much interest and commotion that he re-
moved again to the cloak room to cease
obstructing the house.
The Speaker finally sent page to Bry-
an requesting him to come forward, and
the House cheered wildly as Reed and
Bryan clasped hands.

Arrangements have been perfected by
which the Southern Railways territory
will be- represented at the Exposition
which opens at Nashville on May l. This,
like former exhibits made by that Com
pany, will include sample specimens of
mineral, agricultural, forest and other
products Of the States of Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, East Tennessee and Ken
lucky. This Company's exhibit at the
Atlantis and Pittsburg Expositions at
tracted the attention Of the agricultural
list, manufacturer, miner, stock-raiser
and others, and did more to educate the
visitors to an appreciation of the great
wealth and possibilities of the South than
any other one exhibit that was shown,
and it is the purpose Of the Company to
actively continue this method of adver-
tising. The scenic beauties Of the coun-
try through which the Southern Railway
runs will not be neglected in this exhibit.
Practically, this exhibit will be bureau
of information, so that visitors from the
North and abroad can obtain specific
,cdata relative to all branches of industry
in and tributary to the vast number of
points on the Southern Railway. This
exhibit is under the direction of the Land
and Industrial Department of the South
ern Railway with headquarters at Wash
ington, D. c., end persons located along
a that system having exhibit material that
they think will interest the public sad
thereby help advance the best interest Of
the section from which it comes, should
at once communicate with the agent of
that Department. This is an exhibit in
which every citizen Of this section should
be interested, and we hope that some of
our readers can supply something to rep
resent our territory.

Bride and Groom Arrested.

ATHENS, GA, February 27.-Michael
John and Nazora Hstam, two Syrians,
came to Athens from Greenville, S. c.,
yesterday.
They wanted to get married and chanced
to strike DR.. W. H. Young, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, who spoke Arabic,
and who married them.
The groom purchased an elegant we'd
ding trousseau for his wife and carried
it to the dressmaker to have it made up.
This afternoon Deputy Sheriff Gilreatb,
OF Greenville, s. C, came in with war
rant for the two. The warrant was sworn
out by Mary Hatam, mother of the young
woman, who charged the two with steal
ing from her 5000.
The parties here deny the charge and
went back willingly with the officer. The
young woman says she brought only a
few dollars belonging to her and that her
mother, who was opposed to her mar
riage, is simply trying to wreak her VEN
geance on her.

Died to Save his Father.

GALVESTON, TEXAs, February 81
Paul L Lefevre made an heroic and sue
cessful effort to save the life of his father
this morning, but lost his own. Eugene
Lefevre and son, carpenters and house
movers, were engaged in moving an old
building, but their progress was obstruct-
ed by wires. Eugene Lefevre, who was
standing on top Of the building. grasped
one of the wires with both hands in an
effort to raise it to the top of the house.
Instantly he was paralyzed, blue flashes
of electricity flew from his body, his
hands were smoking and the smell Of
burning flesh made ths lockers. on turn
sick. Paul, who was on the roof with his
father, sprang to him and tore him loose.
AS his father fell on the roof his life
saved, the son fell upon the wires and his
life was sacrificed. The young man was
% years old. The elder Lefevre's hands
were fearfully burned and his escape from
death was miraculous, and was due to the
bravery Of his son.

"A Vienna paper devotes a long article

Work the Roads Right and be Done
With it for Good.

The Yorkville Enquirer is trying to
stir the people on the subject of better
public roads. It has come to the conclu-
sion that the best way to do anything is
to do it, and hence the best way to get
better roads is to get them. It gives as
an illustration of this, that a number OF
years ago congregation desired to build
q stone wall around cemetery, an old
member suggested that day be appoint
ed, and all the members of the church
come with their wagons, tools, etc., and
90 to work and build it. They soon had
the wall completed. The Enquirer sug-
gests that verv much the same plan be
tried with the roads. 1t is not bad idea,
and what will make better roads in York
county will make better roads in Fairfield,
if tried here.
Suppose that all those living on Sec
ton of four or five miles call 9 meeting of
all the neigh bors, and enter into an agree
ment that next summer when the crops
are laid by they will all work a section of
five miles. Not simply throw little dirt
in the ruts to be washed away by the first
big rain, but macadamiZe it. a few weeks
work all tn. ough the county would ac-
complish a great deal of good, and the
taxpayers would be fully compensated
for their labor by having better roads.
When the roads are once macadamlZed 1t
will require great deal less labor to keep
them in repair than is now expended on
them. We agree with the Enquirer; the
way to do anything is to do it. Let our
people improve the roads, and stop talk
ing so much about the bad road problem.
This will solve the problem IFinnStoro
