LOADED LOG EXPLODED.
Five Members of n North Carolina Fam
iIy Were Eadly Wounded.

While the family OF Ed Roseborough
were seated around the fireplace in their
home on South College street in Charlotte,
n. c., recently a stick of wood was thrown
on to replenish the fire Almost instantly
there was terrible explosion that shook
the house like an earthquake. a perfect
broadside of bullets reigned from the fire
place.
When the smoke cleared away and the
damage was counted up, it was found that
every one of the family of five had been
seriously wounded. Rosoborough' wife
was shot in the neck and thigh. A 7-year-
old child was shot in the stomach. An
older child was badly wounded in both
shoulders. A younger one had his hand
blown off and was shot in the mouth. The
other child was wounded in the eye, the
bullet destroying the sight.
1t is thought that $50 bullets were dis
charged from the log. A nearby wood
ward has suffered from numerous thefts
lately, and it is supposed tie log was load,
ed to catch the thieves. The ottense OF
preparing an internal machine is penal
offense in this state, but it is almost i'm
possible to prove who fixed the loaded log.

Clothes and the Man.

1t is not true that "the tailor makes
the gentleman, but it is true that,a
gentleman cannot safely neglect the
tailors services if he wishes people IN
general to take him for what be is. A
gentleman prominent in Canadian po-
litical life was somewhat too careless
in this respect. This statesman was
once on his way to call upon a friend
in Quebec and stopped an Irishman In
the street to inquire the way.
"Can you tell me where Mr.. Hunter
liyes?" he asked.
Its no use your going there" was
the unexpected reply.
'But do you know where he lives!
"Faith and 1 do, but it's no use 60
ing there"
The inquirer began to get angry.
81 didn't ask your advice. l simply
want to know where Mr.. Hunter lives. "
''Oh, we'll, he lives down that street
wonder, the first house round the coz
ner, but tell you it's no use your 60
ing there, for I've just been there my
self, and he's already got man.
Mr.. Hunter had advertised for sery-
ant the day before. The statesman, SO
the story goes, went at once and bought
a new hat.-Nuggets.

The whereabouts of McSweeney,
the murderer of Mason, is still un-
known. All traces of him have
been lost and although the officers
are diligent in their search, no It'd
ings have as yet been received. He
should be pursued until his capture
is accomplished as it was most
atrocious crime.
Captured.
McSweeney, the murderer of Ma
son at Marietta, Ohio. was captured
this morning at Volcano, short
distance back of Parkersburg. A
telephone message to this city an
nounced the fact and it is now
thought that the person. captured
is the guilty man. He will be
brought to Marietta to answer for
the crime.

FOUR SETS OF TEETH.
Hartman CoOnS Ninety-seVen Years Old,
Is Cutting His Last Lot.

Is Cutting His Last Lot.
Hartman Coons Of Albany, although in
his ninety seventh year, is now again cut
ting his teeth like an infant of year old,
and the new teeth promise to be excellent
if Mr.. Coons lives until they attain their
full growth. The strangest part of the
story is that this is the fourth set of teeth
Mr.. Coons has had.
When Mr.. Coons was a child Of z, his
first teeth dropped out, as is usual, and IN
place of them grew full set of what are
known as double teeth-that is, double
row Of teeth, one row growing inside the
other, so that DO had twice the usual allow
ance of incisor5 and molars.
This set lasted him until he was over 20
years old, and then they began to drop cut
until, when he reached the age Of about
80, he was toothlesS. About three years
afterward he began to feel an uneasiness
in his gums and now and then an aching.
He believed that he had caught cold and
was suffering from neuralgia. He applied
the usual remedies without success, and
at last was compelled to apply to physi-
clan for relief. The doctor could make
nothing of the case at first, but on exam.
lining CCons' gums he was astonished to
find that he was cutting new set of teeth
About two years ago this third set be,
gan to get loose and fall out, until about q
year ago they were all gone and Mr.. Coons
was toothless for the third time in his life.
Mr.. Coons recently complained that his
mouth was sore and that the food hurt 1t
Running his finger along his gums, he
discovered about half dozen teeth COIN
ing out in the upper and lower gums

Many lanes EiHy De DuIlI, Du1 - -SS
They Are an Uncertainty.
The only road beside the Peking Tien-

absolute certainty is the Woosung -Shang-

ready. and the rails, which have been or
dered in Belgium, are expected to arrive
in February. The locomotives will also
be built in Belgium. The road, It is ex'
pected, will be in operation in May.
II the dream of Sheng Taotai is ever full
filed, there will be railroads as follows:
From Shanghai southwest to Hankow,
100 miles.
From Shanghai northwest to Soochow,
about 80 miles.
From Soochow to Chinkiang, very
large and important city, where the Grand
canal crosses the Yangtse river, abont 40
miles, thence to Nankin, capital of Anhu
province, about 60 miles.
From Nankin west and northwest to
Yuning- Chou, on the proposed RHnkow-
Picking line, passing through Luchow, Ii
Hung Changes former home, distance of
about 900 miles.
From HanKow almost direct north,
through rich agricultural section, TO
Picking, $50 miles.
From Hankow in fairly direct souther-
" route to Canton, the great city of south
ern China, distance of about 700 miles.
From Hankow in a southwesterly direc-
ton, following the telegraph line and
passing through rich mineral section to
Yunnan, about 500 miles.
From Sunan, on the Hankow- Gunnan

great Szechwar province, $50 miles.
From Poetingf flu, which is on the Han

routh of the latter city, southwest OF Tai

course to Tungchow, where the Yellow

The Southern Oil company COM
menced spudding in their new we'll
in East Corsicana this morning.
The Pace Tatum we'll or Seventh
street which was finished up yester-
day, produced IS barrels of oil the
first twenty four hours up to p.
m. today.
George A. Proctor, Jr., of Austin,
has located in Corsicana. He is
assistant bookkeeper and stenogra-
pher at J. S. Cullinan's pipe line
headquarters on Collin street.
The unusually large volume of
gas escaping from the Southern Oil
company's Frost-berry we'll west of
the city, has set the people of Cor
sicana to figuring on the utilization
OF natural gas for heating, driving
and illuminating purposes.
The Chronicle has it from relia-
BILE authority that contracts will be
let within the next few days for
thirteen or more oil wells for East
corsicana. w. F. Colquit and 9th
ers will put in ten new wells, J. w.
Gibson one and E. P. Davis two
wells. All these will go down in
undeveloped territory.
Two new derricks went up in the
East Corsicana oil field yesterday.
Each and every one of these sixty
or more frame structures in this de-
veloped territory stands as a silent
sentinel or towering monument TO
Corsi :ana's future greatnes. The
oil is there; it is freely flowing and
a market for it is at our very doors.
Mr.. J. S. Cullinan's oil headquar-
tiers, in the Damon & Fleming build
ing formerly occupied by Fleming
& Templeton's bank, are being fit
ted up in elegant shape. The front
office will be in charge of Mr.. Garva
E. Strong of Titusville, Pa, an ex-
pert book-keeper, stenographer and
typewriter. Just in the rear of the
office will be reception room for
visitors, while Mr.. Cullinan's pri-
vate office will be in the rear. This
location is most excellenrly adapted
and arranged for oil headquarters.
In as mitch as a depth of about
100 feet has been reached in the
Southern Oil company's Frost
Barry we'll west of town without
finding any indications OF oil sard,
and while it is foregone conclu-
sion among oil men that this we'll
will prove a dry hole, still the con-
tract calls for depth of 1900 feet
and drilling will continue until that
depth is attained. This failure to
strike oil at the usual depth of 1850
feet will not discourage other pros
pectors who have leases in this un-
