MAN WHO EXPOSED quay DEAD.

John a. Mellon. circulation manager Of
the Tampa Tribune, died Saturday morn
ing. being attacked suddenly while on the
street The deceased was one of the
best-known newspaper men of Florida. He
was native Of Beaver county. Pennsyl-
vania, and was - years of age at the
time OF his death IT was while con
Quoting the Beaver Falls CPaD Star, in
1892, that Mr.. Mellon exposed the fraud
and bribery used by Senator NJ. S. Quay
and his friends in securing that politi-
ate. The Star alone of all the journals
of Pennsylvania, had the courage to come
out in the open and make the fight upon
the statesman of plum tree" same. Quay
then had control of all the machinery of
justice in that section of the state and
he instituted proceedings for criminal libel
against Editor Mellon. The trial was
farce, and as was expected resulted In
the EDITORS conviction. He was sentenced
TO a term of imprisonment, and kept in
Jail at Beaver Falls for three weeks, con-
tinung to edit his paper from his cell,
and keeping up the fight on corruption
al the while. The state press interested
itself I'm behalf of the courageous news
paper man, and secured his release. When,
last year, Quay was unceremoniously
kicked out of the Senate, Mr.. Mellon sent
him a telegram of congratulatiOn on the
fact that he was al last receiving his just
deserts. The day of his death was the
ninth anniversary of the day Mr.. Mellon
was thrown into prison.

Cuthbert Leader: The other day Mercer

a mongrel type in a store, and conceived
the idea Of testing the CANNES speed by
attaching a paper sack to its tail When
he advanced this proposition the owner
of the dog,a negro. agreed and held Fido $
head while Mercer firmly fastened to the
dog caudal appendage paper sack prop
erly supplied with peas. Several stood
around watching the preparations for the
race with interest. When the dog was
released, to the surprise of the specta-
tors and the CONSERVATION of Mercer, IT
didn't rush down the street at breakneck
speed but, swapping viciously sprang az
Mercer, who made a mighty leap and
landed on the counter just in time TO
save his trousers and his skin. Fdo
barked at him savagely. trying to get
on the counter; but assuring himself THAI
Mercer was treed he deliberately tore the
paper sack from his tail barking between
each bite to keep his prisoner frightened
Mercer had to beg the negro to hold the
dog while he descended from his perch
amid the laughter of the spectators. con-
WINGED thet all dogs are not what they
seem.

REPAIRING BIG GUNS At AUGUSTA.

Augusta Chronicle: The United States
Arsenal on the Sand Hill has become, to
a certain extent, manufacturing army
center, like unto the big arsenal at Wa
tertown, Mass. A few weeks since the
government ordered the machinery neces-
sary for the repair of Southern seacoast
guns, gun carriages, etc, to be placed
in position at the Augusta arsenal. such
was done and now there are several
articles of war for Southern seacoast
defense at the arsenal being repaired.
The guns which have heretofore been
sent to WATERFOWL, are now sent to the
arsenal on the hill. This saves the gov
eminent the expense of transportation,
as the arsenal at Augusta is much more
convenient to points like Charleston, Sa-
vannah, Mobile and other Southern coast
fortifications.
