Another DasfardIy Deed.

On last Wednesday night about twelve
O'Clock the barn and stables of Mr.. II
A. Holcomb, of Bogansville, were
burned to the ground. Mrs. Holcomb
was awakened by the roar Of the flames,
and walked Mr.. Hocomb, who got up
and looked out only to find his stables
in flames. The alarm was given but the
fire had gained too much headway aud
the building could not be saved, But
by the heroic efforts Of ueighbOrs the
cotton house between the stables and the
residence was saved. 1t was a fortunate
circumstance that the wind was blowing
away from the other two buildings. Had
1t been blowing towards the residence il
would in all probability have been
burned. The stables were about 80
yards from the house. Mr.. IIolcomb
lost his two fine mules, valued at $3.50,
30 bushels of corn which he had recently
bought and 80 bundles Of fodder. II is
a sad blow to Mr.. Hulcomb and lie has
the sympathy of the entire community.
1t will be remembered that the cpl
demic of burnings and robberies which
occurred Il year ago was in this section,
and one regro was killed soon after

This kind of thing makes a citizen feel
that it is not safe to lie down to sleep,

for the guilty party will he pushei dill

That Ran the Hand Car Down.

Chicago, June 25.-After having
his wife, and in an endeavor to prevent
a possible train wreck, in which he
feared scores of persons would perish,
Fred Davies. for many years prominent
as a civil engineer on lines running
out of Chicago, sustained injuries from
which he died Monday night.
Mr.. Davies has for some time been
acting as engineer for the Baltimore &
Ohio at Milford, Ind, near which city
the grade of the o a is being chang
ed. The work was under Mr.. Davis
direction, and he was in the habit of
riding from place to place along the
line on a handcar. Observing that
there were quantities of wild strawber-
ries along the right of way a his
work, Mr.. Davies invited his wife to
accompany him to Milford for an out

noon, and in the afternoon set out for
the strawberry fields, Mrs. Davies go

The nine kittens recently born at
the white house are in great demand.
Now. the cats living at the executive
mansion are ordinary house cats, just
like hundreds of others that can be had
for the picking up on the streets, but
a certain value attaches to one that

During C~leveland's administration a
young woman from u female seminary

kitten BORN in the whit" house. taking
It to her Southern home in great glee.
Not long after it was learned that the

ARSENIC IN VEGETABLES.
An Important Discovery VI .i. by Ell
perimenting Laboratory Commis-ion.
Street Fair Headquarters.

An important discovery VI ide by FL
perimsnting Laboratory Commis-ion.
An important discovery has just been
made by the Lancet. whose laboratory
commissioners undertook some time
ago the examination of a number of
substances. including certain foods and
drugs in common daily use. and in the
preparation of which sulphurIc acid is
used. AS a result, it was found that
artlnclal are rich in arsenic,
which is easily soluble in water. This
is the less surprising, since the basis
or artihcial manures-namely super
phosphate OF lime-is formed by act
ing upon ordinary bone ash with COM
mon oil Of vitrol. The important
point. however, is that 1t has now been
established beyond doubt that plants
to which asenical manure is applied
take up arsenic in their tissues. Cab
bages and turnips gathered from fields
with superphosphntes have
given unmistakable evidenc" of the
presence of arsenic. It is probable that
ACID accumulates in soil which is con
stantly being dressed with supcrphus-
pilates, so that plants raised on such
soil would absorb arsenic. and exercise
an injurious effect on the health OF
both man and animals. 1t is even pos
sible, for similar reason. that tn" beef
and mutton which we eat daily ron
ain arsenic The more important
question also arises. May not the ar
senic in malt be traceable to the somc-
what large amount of arsenir newt
ably present in artificial mauur"s?
This aspect of the subject is a very Sc
rious one-Chambers' Journal.
