Greenville, February 24.-Tom
Emory, a young white man, was
brought to jail yesterday by Con-
stable w. Ii. Cox on the charge
of aggravated assault. 1t is case
of fighting and bullying all the
way around, and about all the
Emory family are in trouble. One
day lately Magistrate Nerdln's
constable, H. w. Butler, and a
companion went to the home of
Houston Emory to arrest his son
John on a warrant charging him
with assault and battery, John
having whipped neighbor who
remarked that Juhn had stolen
watermelons from HIM last sum
mer. John said it was not his dav
to be arrested. and his brother
Tom said he had an idea of start
ing a graveyard and a constable
would do as well as anything else
to start with. John, Tom and Dock
Emory all showed fight, hen the
treated, which seems to have been
wise move, for all the Emory
boys had Springfield rifles, about
as deadly weapon as anything
except an unloaded pistol Sever.
al shots were fired at "a range Of
40 yards and rapidly upwards.
Warrants were taken for the
three Emorys, and Mr.. w II. Cox
was sent to make the arrest. The
old man tried to run this consta-
BILE off, but Mr.. Cox stayed until
he got Tom. The others were not
at home.
The use by the ENJOYS OF the
Springfield rifles, the property of
the State, issued to the Mauldln
Guards, Will add to the gravity OF
the cases against them.
A shooting, probably a killing
occurred about a game OF cards
near Montague on Wednesday
night. Lafayette Foster was shot
In the left side by Bud Hunt, at
the home of Furman Alberson,
on Mr.. Charles Hlll's place. The
parties to the shooting are ne
groes. Gambling has been very
prevalent in the woods IN that
vicinity for several months, and
during the Christmas holidays
Foster and Albers)n had Il row.
On Wednesday night Foster and
his brother Press went down to
whip AlbersOn, but Instead they
all got into game and the CON
sequent quarrel. After all the
gamblers had gone to Albertson's
house Foster and Hunt got into a
fight, and it is said Foster was
about to get in some work with a
knife when Hunt shot at him
three times, hitting him only
once. DR.. b. +. Goodlett, who was
called to see Foster, was in the
city yesterday, and he announced
that he did not think the negro
could live through the night
Hunt has not been arrested. but
is at work near Montague. He
lately served a term on the Ghat:

of in the reflection of flashes of
light from one mirror to another,
which can be done at long dis
tances, using the Morse system of
dots and dashes, as in telegraphy.
The field heliograph equipment
of the signal corps of the United
States army consists of one sun
mirror, one station mirror,
screen, a sighting rod, a screw
driver, mirror bar and two tri
pods
The sun mirror has an un.
silvered spot at its center, the sta
ton mirror a paper disk; in other
respects they are similar. The
tangent screw attachment to the
frame affords the means of revol
wing the mirror about horizon.
tai axis. The support to the
frame has a conical projection
accurately turned to fit the socket
of the mirror bar and grooved to
receive the clamp spring. The
screen is provided with a KEY, by
which, in connection with the
action of the spring, it is operated
to reveal and cut off the flash.
The sighting rod is fitted to the
socket of the mirror bar and is
clamped in the same manner as
the mirrors 1t carries at one end
movable disk, which, when
turned down, reveals the front
sight. A piece of white paper is
slipped into the disk to receive
the "shadow spot" and a slight
puncture made therin coincident
with the point of the front sight
as a guide in adjustment.
The position of the sun is the
guide for determining whether
one or two mirrors should be used.
When the sun is in front of the
operator the sun mirror only is
required. With the sun IN the
rear of him both mirrors should
be used, although IA single mirror
may often be worked to advantage
with the sun well back OF the Cd
orator. In the former case the
rays of the sun are reflected from
the sun mirror direct to the dis
tant station in the latter they
are reflected from the sun mirror
to the station mirror, thence to
the distant observer.
In the former case. when the
apparatus is properly in position,
the mirror is moved by means of
the slow motion screws until the
shadow spot falls upon the disk
of the sighting rod The flash is
then visible to the distant OBJ.
server. 1t is always necessary to
keep the "shadow spot" in the
center of the disk while signaling.
The screen is attached to the tri-
pod and placed in front of the
signaling disk i'm order to inter.
cept the flash.
For signaling with TWO mirrors
the apparatus is properly ad
justed and the station mirror is
turned until the reflection of the
distant station is brought acurate-
ly in line with or is covered by
the unsilvered spot and the reflec
ton of the disk. Then full flash
is thrown from the sun mirror
upon the station mirror so that
the "shadow spot" falls upon the
center of the paper disk. This
makes the flash Visible at the dis
tant station.

 ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Much Sickness Prevented by It's Sub
 stitution for Gas.

There are no stronger advocates for men. who say that an immense amount Of sickness has been saved since the electric light took the place of gas in modern houses. There can be no doubt that in the matter of maintaining the purity of air during incandescence, electricity stands without rival Air is composed of four parts of nitrogen combined with one part of oxygen The nitrogen, in q sense, raodlfes the too active powers of oxygen, which, if undiluted, would make every one in- haling It so excessively energetic that the human framework would speedily be racked to pieces. When combus- tion takes place oxygen is absorbed, and carbon dioxide Ia poisonous gas) is given off. The act of breathing pro- duees similar effect and thus resem- bles the burning of a lamp or candle. Air containing as little as 5 per cent of carbon dioxide is difficult to breathe in, and when it is considered that a medium gas burner produces as much of this gas as eight or nine men (about six feet per hour) 1t naturally follows that air in room so lighted soon be- comes dangerous. Besides carbon di- oxide, there are other impurities In gas, such as sulphurous acid, ammonia sulphuretted hydrogen, etc, which vary in quantity according to the purity of the gas. Each has its own deleterious effect on the air and surroundings, and most of them cause flame to be less luminous. With an electric incandes- cent lamp there is no com mbustion. The ilament merely becomes incandescent by reason of its resistance to the pas sage of the current. which is compelled to exert certain amount of energy in travelling through 1t. This energy is given back by the filament in the form of light, but the whole being hermetic- ally sealed in vaer9 there Is no ex- halation from ,cess of incan- descence, and |. .ide air remains unvitiated by it

MORE GLACIERS THAN GOLD.
scientissr Found Many Natural Wonders
 Up in Alaska.

Up in Alaska.
 Two members of E. H. Harriman's scientific party that has been explor- ing the Alaskan coast for some months past have returned to Vancouver and bring accounts of their cruise on the steamer Elder, which indicate that MT. Hartman and the scientists will return laden with many laurels. They seem to have developed a mania for glaciers, having visited and explored more than thirty, some of which were unknowr except to natives. In one bay, not shown on the maps or charts, they discovered an immense glacier. not as large as the giant Muir, but much more grand and picturesque. The bay extends inland more than twenty miles and at poips near tbe glacier a sounding line of forty fathoms did not touch bottom. This inlet they named Unknown bay It was here that the Elder maneuvering among the cakes of ice broke from the glacier broke . propeller blade, making 1t pecessary to return to Orca, where repairs were Aiduc. At Lae Hcdd Oi bay they found four glaciers which had never been seen before by white men. In Icy bay, twenty miles across, op- posite Carroll's glacier, the party dis covered new glacier with front of three-fourths Of mile. This was named Harriman's glacier Observa- tions taken in the vicinity of Grand Pacific glacier showed that it's Ice wall had receded three miles during the 20 years that have elapsed since Muir and Reed visited the place and established their survey. The different scientists are having gratifying success in all lines. The botanists have found sev- eral new plant species and collection Of marine species made by the party, it is said, will be superior to any other Tn existence. Ornithologists have had phenomenal success and are able to xhow new bird specimens.

RELIC plLFERINo MINISTERS.
They Chip Pieces off the washIngto

They Chip Pieces off the Washingto
 Monument and Pay We'll for Them.
 From the New York Mail and Ex- press: Colonel Bingham, superintend- ent Of public buildings and grounds. who has charge of tho Washington monument, says one of the greatest trouDles the watchmen at the monu- ment have to contend with is the chfp- ping of these memorial stones by relic hunters. "One of the strangest things in regard to these relic hunters" said Colonel Bingham, is the fact that more than one-half of the men arrested for chipping off relics are clergvmen. When the police arrest these deapoil- CTS and start with them to the station house the man will begin to ask what Is the penalty and try to beg off. He is told that the fine Is q heavy one, but that s15 security can be put up for ap- pearance in the police court Then the prisoner explains that he is a minister of the gospel and meant no harm, and that he could not stand the disgrace of appearing in police court. He ends np by giving up the collateral, after generally trying to cut it down to BIO. saying he has only that amount with him"
