A new alloy has recently been pat
ented in Germany which is intended
to take the place Of gold. 1t consists
of copper and antimony in the pro-
portion of 100 to 6, the antimony
being added to the melted copper.
After the antimony has melted and
union between the two metals has oc-
cured some charcoal ashes, mag
nesium and lime are added. to the
molten mass in the crucible. The
alloy can be rolled and worked like
gold, and will Withstand for some
time acid and ammoniacal vapors. 1t
has n color quite similar to gold,
which it does not lose by oxidation.

The Water Must Be Free.

In the Circuit Court at Charles
town on Tuesday Judge Faulkner
granted an injunction to D. F. Bill
myer, who operates the well-known
Billmyer's Mill, west of Shepherds
town, restraining Frank R. McQuilkin
and Frank Dennis from diverting the
water from the stream which runs the
mill and from using it to supply the
cress pond owned by the defendants.
The stream referred to, like most o.
the streams in this section, has been
very low on account of the long dry
spell, and there is barely enough wa
ter to run the mill. A good deal of
water is required for the big cress
pond recently established on Mr.. Nc
Quilkin's place, and Mr.. Billmyer's
action became necessary as a matter
of self-defense.

Fanny O'Kennon, daughter Of Peter
O'Kennon, died at her fathers home
in Matoaca, near Petersburg, Va, a
few days ago. The doctors say she
died of old age, although she had just
celebrated her twentieth birthday.
She was remarkable from the fact that
she had not grown in stature since
she was two years old, and her facul-
ties at the time of her death were
those of child. She was only two
feet two inches tall, could only artic-
ulate such words as she could when
two years old, played with picture
books, and in every way acted as a
child. Her face, however, was wrlnk-
led like that Of an old woman.
