EdisOu's Little Story.

The manager of the Electrical Tx.
position in Philadelphia asked Mr.
Edison to send on photographic
cylinder setting forth some Of his
latest ideas Of electrical interest. Mr.
Edison compiled in his own way. The
message was as follows: 'My Dear
Marks: You asked me to send you a
photographic cylinder for your lee
ture this evening and to say a few
words to the audience. l do not think
the audience would take any interest
in dry scientific subjects, but perhaps
they might be interested in a little
story that man sent me on a phono-
graphic cylinder the other day from
San Francisco. In the year 1873 a
man from Massachusetts came to Cal
ifornia with a chronic liver COM
plant. He searched all over the coast
for mineral spring to cure the dis
ease, and finally he found down in the
San Joaquin Valley a spring the
waters Of which almost instantly
cured him. He thereupon started a
sanitarium, and people all over the
world came and were quickly cured,
Last year this man died, and so pow
erful had been the action OF the
waters that they had to take his liver
out and kill 1t with club. Yours
truly, Edison"

KILLED BY GAS.
Two Calhoun County Farmers Die in a We'll

Spec.si Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Anniston, Aug. 20,-Wiley Mattox and his nephew, John Mattox, farmers of the Gnu latinnee neighborhood, were killed by gas while digging well this morning.
 John Mattox was at work in the we'll when he was overcome. Wiley Mattox, who was at the top, noticed the cessation of work and called several times to John, who did not answer. He guessed the trouble and summoning help went down and fast ened a rope to John, who was drawn out. Wiley then started out, but was overcome and fell back.
 An hour later a negro with a rope around his body for self-protection was induced to go down in the well and attach a rope to Wiley Mattox's body so that it would be drawn out. When the negro reached the surface he was in an almost unconscious condition, but soon recovered. Every ef- fort was made to resuscitate the Mattox's, but death from asphyxiation had resulted before they were drawn out

 Vanderbilt was bleeding from three or four wounds on his face and throat One soldier had cut at him with knife and left a bloody mark on his forehead. An other grabbed him by the throat and left prints of fingers. He claims to be rela- tive of Cornelius Vanderbilt, and says his mother is at present in New York.
