We intimated last week that the
negro Eugene Jordan, who was found
dead in Bayou Darro last Friday
evening, probably Came to his death
by foul means. The coroner's iiiveep
tigation develops the fact that he was
shot twice with buckshot. knocked
in the head with q blunt instrument,
and then hauled on slide to the bay
on and thrown in, where he lay for
two days before the body was found
by searchers.
The deed was committed four miles
from Colfax, near the house OF Ned
January. about ten o'clock Wednes-
day night. Ned January, and his
wife, Mahssly, and her son, Joe Carter,
about II years old. have been arrest
ed and placed In jail, charged with
the crime. The evidence IL pretty
strong that they committed the muir
der. or were knowing to the fact. It
Is reported there was some enmity
between the men on account Of the
woman.

A PERPETUAL MOTION CLOCK.


At the Paris Exposition there was
exhibited clock which ran for two
months without having to be wound
up, therefore the makers were some
what justified in calling it perpetual
motion clock" The inventor obtained
his result by combining a system of
jointed levers or armatures with per-
manent magnets in order to permit
the wheel to revolve indefinitely
around it's axis to coil spring. The
principle is based upon the fact that
poles Of the same name repel, while
those of opposite names attract. Two
series of movable levers are placed
upon the faces Of the rim of large
Wheel The two arms of such levers
form between them an angle of forty
five degrees; the shorter one is provid-
ed at it's extremity with a weight
which acts as counterpoise. The
counterpoise most distant from the
center has preponderating action
upon the side of the Wheel 1t makes
four revolutions a minute and actuates
a regulating fiywheel through the me-
dunn of an endless chain. The frame
of the apparatus is constructed of
magnetized steel. 1t supports the
axle of the wheel and is surmounted
by a roller that constitutes pole
When in it's motion the wheel brings
the short arm of one of the levers OPP
posite the roller, the phenomenon OF
repulsion is produced.

CoUNTER-1RRIrAr1oN.


The use of hot applications to the
body for the relief of pain commended
itself to mankind long before the for
mutation of any theory as to how the
favorable result was produced. 1t re-
NAMED for DR.. Brown-Sequard to es-
tablish by actual experiment the fact
that physical change is actually pro-
duced in tissues by counter irritation.
He found that the vessels of the sur
face to which the irritation was ap-
piled were dilated for several hours,
as one might suppose they would be,
while in the deeper tissues the vessels
were very much diminished in size.
Thus mustard plaster on the region
over the kidneys has pronounced eff
feet in reducing the size of the small
arteries.
Experiment has also shown that a
counter-irritant, Spanish fly blister
on the back of rabbit, for instance
produces congestion of the superficial
tissues, while the deeper organs-the
lungs-are at the same time rendered
anaemic
Thus we have proof that sudden con-
gestion of the lungs or brain may be
to some extent relieved by counter
irritants applied specifically to the
chest and the back of the neck.
Several stages or degrees of counter
irritation are possible of production
sometimes by use of the same remedy.
For example, with an APPLICATION of
mustard one may produce simple red
ness Of the skin, or by longer appli-
cation or greater proportion of mus
tard ingredient, blisters may be pro-
duced. Strong mustard plasters ap-
piled to patients who were uncon-
scious of pain have even produced
sloughing surfaces.
In irritating cough, particularly that
| of consumption, applications of iodine
| to the chest are often of much benefit,
| the effect being due to the temporary
superficial congestion thus artificially
established.
Contamination may be properly
used in headaches, neuralgia, the first
stage of Group or spasmodic cough,
anu III relieving any Suuueu luCCludl
congestion or spasm. Sponges or
cloths wrung from hot water, and the
various applications of hot water and
mustard, are usually employed. The
hot foot-bath also, and in childhood the
entire warm water and mustard bath
have been used in nearly every house
hold to meet emergencies The use OF
strong counter-irritants. either of heat
or of various medicaments, is to be
resorted to only with great care whe1
person is without consciousness OF
when the nerves of sensation are in
active, as, for example, in paralysis o
the lower limbs. Troublesome sore
my result in such cases. The use o
counter-irritants is also not advise'
in depleted states of the body. Blisters
and to a greater extent the more vic
lent forms of standardization, carr
away nutrient material from the bloo'
in the process of repairing, and so ma.
seriously diminish the chances of I'll

thrown into the sea, the water passes
through perforations in the bottom
of the cylinder, and, coming in con-
tact with the carbide, generates acety-
lene gas. Each compartment is con-
nected with burner by pipe, valves
preventing the escape of gas except
through the burner. When the vol
ume of gas decreases. hydrostatic pres
sure opens the valves and allows
water to penetrate into the next COM
partment to generate an additional
supply of gas. The gas is lighted cleo
trically and ignition takes place about
twenty-five seconds after the buoy is
thrown into the sea. The light pro-
duced is equal to $50 candle power,
and the flame is protected from the
wind by glass and burns steadily with
great intensity for three or four
hours 1t requires only few minutes
to clean and refill the apparatus.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CARpETs.

A new method of manufacturing
Oriental carpets has been placed upon
the market by an English syndicate,
which has secured the entire rights
from the inventor. 1t relates princi-
pally to the weaving of Turkish
piled" and "tufted" carpets, and the
process embodies an advance as revo-
lutionary as the inventions of Lord
Masham. By hand about half day is
occupied in making square yard of
this textile fabric, but the Hallensle-
ben power loom, as it is called, has a
capacity of IS square yards per day,
and the material is equal in every re-
spect to the finest handmade Oriental
productions. The loom is very inge-
NOUS in its arrangement, since the
shuttle is dispensed with.

Poor Lady Caroline was terrified.
Dear Aunt Harriet, she did not

and tell her it was all mistake"
She shall apologize to me, or will

raging.

dearest, tell your grand-aunt how sorry
you are for having used the language

Apologize for what?" demanded
Mabel. "sae asked me to pay her a

my reasons, and gave them. do not

ward the old lady, and executing an
impertinent little courtesy, eff it will

sorry to think was the cause of put
ting you in such dreadful temper"
Lady Caroline, after considerable diff
ficulty, having managed to smooth
down the old lady's ruffled plumage,
she consented to forgive and forget,
and once more peace was restored.
But Mabel, when the terrible "last
hour" came the following day, though
she never for moment doubted Roys-
ton, yet felt somehow shy and con-
strained, remembering wildly that one
little biting question of Lady Eagle
tons, as to whether he had ever made
her the requisite offer of marriage.
Meantime Roy's sorrow had swal-.
lowed up all nervousness and every
other sentiment, leaving him only able.
to hold her hands and entreat that she
would never forget him.
II shall be back soon,' he said-"so
soon that you will scarcely have time
to miss me; and meanwhile I shall
write by every post, and you will do
likewise, will you not?'
To which she had returned sad
half-reluctant "Yes."
Had he been less wrapped I'D in sad
thoughts about the coming parting, he
might perhaps have fancied his love
somewhat cold and cruel; but, as it
was, he saw nothing. Presently he
spoke the words that, had they been
uttered yesterday, would have caused
his queen" to stand in such a different
| light before her tormentor.
"Shall I write to your father?" he
asked. ''You know, Mabel, it is time
there was some decided understanding
between us. Shall l ask your fathers
consent to regular engagement, dar-

Eyes," Mabel answered, partly COM
forted-I suppose it will be best;;"
then, sadly breaking down, ooh, Roy
what shall l do without you?"
After this there ensued fond words
and lingering caresses, and warm as
surances of never-dying love; and then
they kissed their last fond kiss and
parted.

How Brave Maine Dog Died While
Performing His Duty.

How Brave Maine Dog Died While
Performing His Duty.
There are about twenty dwelling
houses, a blacksmith shop and small
store on the east side of Long Pond,
Me- In 1898, when Shafter and Samp-
son were pounding away at the south
side of Cuba, the citizens could stand
their isolation no longer, and sent
petition to Senator Hale asking for
postof1ice, and requesting that it be
named Santiago. The demand was
granted so quickly that everybody
wished he had thought of such plan
twenty-five years before. Santiago is
four miles distant from Dedham, from
which place it is only two miles to
Georges Corner on the line of Bar
Harbor railroad. On the south side,
however, it was only three miles from
East Bucksport, where railroad con-
meets with Bangor. John Hubbard of
Santiago had been carrying the daily
mail to East Bucksport, crossing on
the ice in the winter and making
wide detour around the pond during
warm weather. An aged Newfound-
land dog, who had earned retirement
in a bear fight years before. was Hub
bard's attendant on every trip. The
dog was in the habit of following the
mail wagon down in the forenoon, and
then if the day proved warm he would
swim back home, allowing Hubbard
to go his roundabout course alone.
Hubbard noted the action of the dog,
and came to the conclusion that he
could make some profit by cultivating
the habit. He was making two trips
a day, which was a waste of good time,
when he could make the dog perform
one trip alone, and thus have the whole
afternoon left for hunting bears. The
next morning he forgot to feed the dog
before starting out. On arriving at;
East Bucksport he took the postmas-
ter aside and confided his plan for
carrying the mails by dog power.
Here's water tight bag" said Hub,
bard. "Fll chain up the dog before
go home. want you to keep him fast
until the mail comes UP from Bucks
port Don't feed him or go near him.
AS soon as the mail gets in tie the bag.
to his neck and let him go. I'll war
rant he'll get the mail to Santiago
ahead Of time" Hubbard's idea work
ed splendidly all summer. The dog
was at home and the mail was dis
tribuated inside half an hour, while it
had always taken Hubbard more than
an hour to go round the pond. But ono
winter night the neighbirs waited until
o'clock for the arrival Of the mail,
which was due two hours earlier. Then
Hubbard harnessed his horse and drovt
furiously to East Bucksport to look w
his dog. He did not return until nearly
midnight. Patrons of Santiago post,
office knew what had happened as soon
as they looked at Hubbard's face. The
| dog had attempted to swim the pond
carrying heavy load, in the face OF
rough water and high wind, and had
been drowned while in the perform
ance of his duty. They dragged the
pond two days before the body was
found. The mail was unframed. They
buried the dog under big apple tree.

A Swift-FIyine Star.

A faint star in the Great Bear,
known as 1880 Groombridge," is ia
nous among astronomers on account
of it's rapid motion. Recently a new
computation of it's velocity has been
made by Professor Campbell of the
Lick Observatory. He estimates it's
speed across the line of sight from the
earth at $50 miles per second. At the
same time it is drawing nearer the
earth at the rate Of fifty-eight or sixty
miles per second. But it's distance is
so great that light, moving 10000
miles per second, requires more than
twenty three years to pass from the
star to the earth. The spectrum of
1880 Groombridge" bears much re-
semblance to that Of the sun.
