The defense stuck TO the theory Of
self defense and made all It's points
In that direction. John Mccoy, Eliza
Brewer and Lewis Henderson swore to
threats made by Moore against Ten
nant. George Mccoy, Eliza Wright
and Sherman swore to threats on the
night of the murder and of revolver
and razor that Moore had on his per-
son and with which he intended TO do
the work. They testified that he was
drunk and stated that he was going to
throw the tree out Of the church and
otherwise cause disturbance.
Tenant himself was placed on the
stand. He gave very graphic recital
of the trouble and how the killing
took place. lie stated that he be-
came engaged with Moore while he
was whiting. He took his knife in
to his left hand and returned blow
given by Moore: They clinched and
he fell nppermost.
Moore turned him and he fell under
him. Moore had the left arm of the
accused across his breast. At the
same time the victor reached in his
hip pocket saying, "Now, I'll FIX you''
or words to that effect. Tenant
tried to cut in the shoulder to protect
himself.
The arm OF his opponent struck his
arm and the course OF the knife was
DETECTED and the blow was given in
the neck making mortal wound.
The cross examination did not
shake him In this story.

CALF'S BRAIN In A MAN.
Peculiar Results OF a Surgical Opera
ton The Animal Healthy but Loses
the Power OF V0liti0n.

At Harmon w. Va, Jay Lentz
foreman in the mines Of the Great
Western Company, was caught under
a fall OF slate in the mines about
three months ago. His skull was
crushed, and DR.. Il. G. Harmon and
two other surgeons gave him up to
die. A piece OF his brain, larger than
a teacnp, was broken away from the
main body of the brain structure and
the skull covering it was broken away.
After a few days the doctors had
the shattered brain cut away and
dressed. A healthy yearling calf was
tied down, her skull cut away and a
lobe of brain removed and fitted into
the cavity in Lentz's head. The
wound was dressed and results await
ed. The calf's head was fixed up with
one-half brain left In it.
Both the man and the calf have
progressed satisfactorily, and the man
is nearly as well as before the opera
ton, though his mental vigor is not
entirely restored The calf stands as

moves till interrupted in direct line.

A Cure For tuberculosis.

Francisque Crottle, the famous
French chemist, claims to have dis
covered cure for tuberculosis. In a
paper read befor the American Medi-

Wednesday it was stated that 1000
cases apparently hopeless had been
treated, and that there were no fail
ures. Mr. Crottle offers to treat 500
cases ia this country in order to prove

BIG TIME.

Point Marion Entertains an Enormous
Delegation all Day on Thursday FIX
cursions from Everywhere.
The celebration of Mechanics Day
at Point Marion on Thursday was a
very great success. The town was
literally jammed from morning until
late at night. Several thousand came
into town on the railroad and there
were several excursions on the river
Uniontown turned out the largest
number of any town that sent delega-
tions sending up fourteen hundred and
thirty one people.
Excursions came from other towns
as far away as Scottdale and on the
river from Charleroi and Brownsville.
A boat came to Morgantown and took
a number down while others went
from here by rail.
The day was spent in dancing and
kindred amusements. Il base ball
game between Vanderbilt and Union
town was started but after playing
several innings a Joint debate was
started that ended the game and the
interest of the spectators.
The excursions were scheduled to
leave the Point at eight o'clock but it
was later before the last one pulled
out with the tired people who had
overrun the town all day.

CARNATIONS In the movement. With
the two classes working together it is
only question Of time until the move
ment will be made a political issue,
and then will come the desired i'm
provements.
The argument offered in favor of the
improved roads is that they lessen the
cost Of repairs, make it possible to
haul the largest amount Of goods with
the smallest animal power, save time
and Increase property valuations. No
railroad company would expect to do
business If It's tracks and roadbed
were In such condition as to make 1t
either impossible to use the tracks at
long seasons Of the year or in using
them have to lose great deal Of time
and have immense repairs to make,
and yet that Is what the farmers and
others using the common roads are
doing in comparative way every day
In the year.
They make the most impracticable
attempts at road building and repair
ing and then wonder why there is no
profit in their products, which have
been hauled over bad roads at the
greatest expense. It has been esti-
mated that In the states where the
stone roads have been built the cost Of
transportation has been decreased to
20 per cent of the former figures and
that the roads pay for themselves
within few years. 1t has been fur
Their shown that the amount lost in
the different ways mentioned VIII
more than pay for the building and re-
pairs Of these roads on the annual as
sessments made for them or that it
costs no more each year to have good
roads than it does to have bad ones.

Emery comes from the island of
Naxos, in the eastern Mediterranean,
whence it has been exported for the
last two centuries or more The beds
are in the northeast of the island, the
deposits descending into some of the
neighboring islands, the emery being
found in lenticular masses, resting on
layers of schist in limestone almost
identical with Parian marble, the fin
est marble known, which comes from
the island of Paros close by.

In the trade, all Of whom have to be

DRAINAGE OF ROADS.

Durability Depends on Speedy Re-
moval of Water.
In road building the chief effort
should be toward securing the best
drainage, as water and dirt are bound
to make mud. A dry road is usually a
good road or will become good road
in time by constant usage. The excep-
ton which proves the rule is the sandy
road. A sandy road is dry road, but
not often a good road, says s. D. Tall
man In The Pneumatic.
To assist the drainage the road
should be first crowned and then about
four to six inches Of crushed stone,
depending upon the amount Of travel,
put on, gradually decreasing a little in
thickness as IT approaches the cutters;
then q heavy steam roller passed over
It two or three times to set It; upon
this about three or four inches Of finer
crushed stone should be placed and a
steam roller passed over It again. A
great deal Of care should be taken not
to have the road fat ON top. This hard
stone dressing forms almost water
proof covering that will last for years
If properly taken care Of each spring
by putting on some fine crushed stone.
This covering will let the water
drain freely to the cutters and leave
dry road in few min
utes after heavy rain. This is very

important in another way, as It keeps
the ground underneath the road free
from saturation and thereby makes a
strong foundation. It is the natural
earth underneath the covering that
must bear the weight Of the road. 1t
really sustains in addition the weight
OF stone, ETC., as well
II this natural soil, or foundation of
the road, is permitted to become satu-
rated with water, either by water per-
colating down into 1t from the surface
or from water rising into 1t from be-
low, 1t has not strength to resist the
wheels which at once sink into it, and
ruts are formed. But IL this soil foun-
dalton is kept dry or nearly so 1t is
strong and will support any load likely
to pass over 1t. If the water is shed
from the road to the cutters and there
remains, the water works it's way into
the earth at the foundation of the road
and causes the injury above spoken of.
Speaking Of the great Importance of
keeping a road In repair, let wagon
track, scarcely perceptible at first, after
q shower stand full Of water and
soften the road at that spot. another
wagon passing along later sinks fur
Their into the softened track, here is a
deeper hole to hold water. soon it be-
comes rut, then the rut develops into
pitch hole. The soil underneath is
brought up and mixed with surface
covering, the surface covering is bro

Here, then. is q bad road and per-
manent weakness, the result Of neg

time and a neglect to keep the drain

HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT.

Facts Showing the Economy OF
Hard, smooth stone Roads.
The principle of the good roads move
ment as advocated by the wheelmen is
that the common roads of the country
are as important as the railway sys-
TENS, the statement being made by
them and being easily understood that
there is not an ounce of any commodi-i
ty hauled over the railroads that is not
first transported by wagons over coun-
try roads or city streets. 1t does not
matter if the commodity is manufac-
tured articles that are loaded on cars
at the factory. The raw material has
first to be hauled to the factory. But
the greatest hauling is done in the
farming districts, and there it is that
good highways are most needed.
The subject has not been given the
attention and support it deserves as
yet for the simple reason that private
capital cannot become interested in
the building of common roads, since
there would be no income from the
investment, such as there is in rail
ways Municipal, county, state and
the national governments nave not had
the issue brought directly before them
in its full significance, because it is
necessary to first educate the people
to the necessities of the movement.
This is what is being done by the
wheelmen at the present time, and it
must be said to their credit that they
have enlisted the sympathy and sup
port of all the prominent farmers or
