particulars received in the city. Ac
cording to the dispatch from Chester
which Is as follows:
Several weeks ago, number Of col.
ored men living tn the Ninth and
Tenth wards, left this city for the
State OF South Carolina, where they
were TO 60 to work constructing a
new railroad through that section of
the South.
When the word was received in
Chester that large number Of men
could secure employment, and that
good wages would be paid, about six.
teen men, one Of them Frank Law.
renee, former tlpstave at the Court
House in Media, and a colored poll :.
tlcian OF the Ninth ward, decided to
leave Immediately for the South, and
in couple of days they were on their
way to their destination.
The men arrived at the place where
the work was being carried on, and
after giving their names and places of
residence, were assigned to 'shacks
for the night.
The next morning they were order.
ed to fall into line, and guarded 10y
'overseerS," who rode horses and car.
ricd revolvers in their belts, were
marched to the scene Of railroad con-
struction.
The agreement. according to one Of
the men, who has returned to his
home IN this city, was that they were
to receive small sum of money,
enough ~ purchase food for a week,
and at the end OF a month would re-
ceive the balance Of the money due
them.
They went to work with a will, but

plish enough each day. and were con.
tlnually cursed and abused by the
ersin charge Of the gangs
After two days of this kind ofIwork
and being guarded at night, for fear
they would run away. Three of the
Chester men decided to make an at.
tempt to escape and return to this
CITY.
Chat night they quietly stole from
their "shack" and creeping past the
guard, were soon running through a
dense woods.
The next morning they fell in with
a. Polish laborer and compelled him to
give them something to eat from his
dinner pail, for they were nearly
starved. their iood supply during the

In reference to the expression that
he lowed the contractors, one of the
three men who came hLme stated this
that he owed them his time,

In the lower strata of the atmosphere the
coarSer particles of dust not only scatter the

that these lower levels the blue tint is diluted

is here that the blue attains its greatest inteD-

of the observer, and the scattering of the light
does appear great when one looks

Professor A. c. Lawson. And now fresh sit
of evidence pointing in the direction Is
contributed to Science" by William l.. Ritter.
Professor Lawson had observed reHarkaaa
series of natural terraces along the coast In the
immediate vicinity of San Pedro Hill which in
dicated oceanic action at different levels. ThA
highest terraces were believed to have been cut
when the land very much depressed, and
the others when it had risen gradually. Tho
island of San Clemente also exhibits the saAa
characteristics Hence any trained seslsEet
would infer that it had experienced the sAno
fate the neighborhood of San Pedre Hill. and
had come up out of the water at the same time.
What led Professor Lawson to suspect that
Santa Catalina had different (and perhaps
Older) origin is the fact that its mountain sculPt.
is singularly in contrast with that Of the los
caties just mentioned.
Mr.. Ritter engaged last summer in dredg
ing for specimens of marine life. His work was
carried on in the vicinity of Santa Catalina.
While on the north side of the island he brought
up lot of cObblestones, varying in size from
a sparrow's egg To a human head. These cana
from a depth of 20 feet. and fishermen have
since told him that the shOal on which they were
found reaches a depth of 45O feet elsewhere.
Now these cobbestones are one of the recsg.
nized Indications of an old ocean beach. But as
they picked up nearly mile from the
present shore line. it seems probable that tho
beach existed at that distance from the
position it now occupies. Herein Mr. Ritter finds
