A Terrible and Fatal Accident at Orr Cot.
ton hliII

Monday afternoon Mr.. Ulysses II.
Scott, engineer in charge in putting in
the 1900 horse power engine at the Orr
cotton mill, fell between the governor
wheel and the casing Of the engine and
was so terribly crushed and manglcd
that death resulted Mt $50 in the even
ing.
Mr.. Scott was sent here by the West
inghOusc- Church Kerr Company, from
whom the engine was bought, and
whose main Office is in philadelphia.
but the home Of the deceased WAS in
sH.Oklyn, n. y, where lie has Il wife
un.} four children, two of thein about
e. Wn and the youngest five years old.
7: -" HSr Of the deceased was urty t yO.
The work OF constructing and placing
Che engine was completed last week,
and steam wns turned on Monday to
test tho wotk. The machinery moved
off smoothly and satisfactorily There
were probably twenty five people pres
ent to watch the result. NOone thought
of witnessing such n shocking and fatal
tragedy, as the engine is SO construct
ed that all the machinery is encased in
an upright, cylindrical iron construc-
tion except balance wheel OH the east
about six feet in diameter, and gov
ernOr wheel on the west, about five
feet in diameter.
The machinery was moving slowly,
and Mr. Scott stepped Up on the plat
form to feel the bearings OF the jour
nal on the side where the governor
wheel was turning. In some unac-
countab:e way he slipped and fell be-
tween the wheel and tho casing, and
before the machinery could be stopped
his lower extremities were frightfully,
mangled. Both limbs were crushed
and broken, sthe left limb below the
knee and the right above and below
the knee. The leftsid was also crush
ed and several ribs broken, and there
was large confusion on the left breast
j1at over tho heart.
In few minutes after the accident
IN response to telephone calls, several
physicians were in attendance. Strange
to say, with his limbs so mangled and
almost torn asunder, Mr.. Scott did not
lose consciousness, but was bright and
hopeful, asking the physicians to savo
his limbs and expressing the desire to
be carried to the Hotel ChiQuOln. Ho
was taken to the hotel anu remained
cheerful during the trip. He did not
appear to realize that he might die un-
til told by one of the physicians that
there was no hope and asked to tell
what they could do for him. Telegrams
were sent to his family and friends and
everything done that was possibleto be
done, but at 0:40 death came.
Letters on person of the deceased in
dicated that he was Mason, and this
fraternity took charge Of the remains.
The body was embalmcd and prepared
for Shipment by G. Il. Tolly s. Son.
BY direction OF the family the re-
.mains wero shipped this morning to
Brooklyn, the home of the deceased.
The remains were escorted to the de-
pot by delegation from Hiram Lodge,
A. F. Nj.
The bereaved family has the sympa-
thy of the entire people of Anderson.
This is shocking and trying ordeal for
the wife and children, and touches q
sympathetic chord in the hearts of NIL
Of us.

And loved every crack OF that old

But the dearest OF memories I've laid
up in store.
Is the mother that trod that old
kitchen floor.
Day in and day out. from morning till
night,
Her footsteps were busy, her heart al
ways light;
For IL seemed to me then that she
knew not a care.
The smile was so gentle her face used
to wear.
! remember, with pleasure. what Joy
filled our eyes
When she told us the stories that chill
dren so prize;
They were new every night, though
we'd heard them before.
From her lips, at the wheel. On the
old kitchen floor.

And thought when my head scarcely
reached to the sill
That 1t slept through the night, in the
trees on the hill.
And the small tract OF ground that my

Was all OF the world that my fancy

Indeed, cared not to know Of 1t more

cRIaINAL AS eEEKEEPER.
David Norton, of Tls'nheid, Conn, Tells
OF uIs Experiences.


OF Ills Experiences.
On. of the most original bcekeepers
in Connecticut is David Norton OF
Plalnfeld. says n correspondent Of the
Hartford Cuurant. Mr.. Norton H. over
40 years ola and Is in the bee business
with his son. At q recent meeting of
the Connecticut beekeepers' associa-
tion, MIR. Norton spoke at length OF bis
bees and OF his method OF working
over them. In the summer this entbu-
siastic apiarist sits out among his bee
hives under large yellow umbrella,
and often maps there, lulled to sleep by
the humming. lie handles the bees
fearlessy, and is never stung by them.
This year the honey produced by his
bees exceeded largely the amount OF
neighboring beekeepers. In his aplary,
he says. the bees enter each Others
hives Unfortunately IL they find their
own hive crowded, and deposit their
honey burdens. and they are like one
happy family. He observes none OF the
new queen In hive-simply after
the colony has been queenless awhile,
he puts the new queen in. and the bees
never fail to give her kind reception
This is contrary to most apiarists' ex-
perience as a new queen Is usually
| placed in q wire-screened little box
that is plugged with sugar. The bees
observe their new queen through the
wire and thus become accustomed to
her; then they let out the sugar plug
and free her and she walks quietly on
| TO the combs In the hive. II new
| queen, ordinarily, is put unprotected
into colony OF strange bees they kill
her. Mr. Norton approves Of very
large hive, so constructed that II can
be enlarged or contracted. In the heat
of the day the hives in this unique
I apiary are sheltered under umbrellas
/ In regard TO moving hives OF bees, Mr.
| Norton says he experiences no incon.
venience from losing bees, as in most
cases where the bees return to the old
location: but he says his bees afteI
| flying out Immediately note the new
spot, and invariably return to 1t. A
suggestion offered by Mr.. Norton
whereby bees would always know theil
own hive. which he had tried expert.
mentally was to paint each hive a diff.
| ferent color. The bees remembered the
color of their own hive easily, just as
they do the tints Of the blossoms. Mr.
Norton thinks that the bees have be-
come so accustomed to himself and his
son that their working among then
does not in the least disturb them
therefore these beekeepers can open q
hive and examine the combs at leisure
while the bees fly about and do moi
get into an uproar. That there is q
great future for the beekeeper ant
large profits in the bee business wher
properly conducted, Mr.. Norton doe!

farms in Maine Is taken into consid-
grafton. possibly in Maine.
The farm was founded three years
ago and from the start has proven
TO be a money-making establishment,
and those who predicted rank failure
for Mr. Norton when he first broached
the scheme are now among the loud
est In praise Of 1t.
There are raised on the farm silver
gray foxes and those known as Alaska
blue foxes. while an occasional red fox
is there. The usual stock on the farm
consists of from 40 to so. The main
inclosure Is divided into smaller ones
by means of wire netting. so that both
breeds OF foxes are kept separate. Oc-
casionally an inclosure Is occupied by
single fox this being the arrange
ment when some fox gets to be ugly
or looking for trouble. it being cheap
or to keep him isolated from the 9th
ers than to kill him before the mar
ket is ripe for good hides.
That the method used in confining
the foxes at this farm is as good as
place since the Iirrm' via hi sthe, fact
llshed.
The foxes are fed upon scraps OF
meat and bones, and it is very anus
Ing sight to be present at the farm
when they are being fed. They will
snarl and growl and fight exactly like
pack of dogs, each one OF which ia
anxious to secure the choicest morsel.
To great extent the animals are very
tame, and there isn't one on the place
that doesn't know MIR. Norton and will
fail to answer to a whistle from him.
The fur of the silver gray fox is the
most valuable. the price seldom falling
below 800, while 81 900 Is not uncom-
mon and as high as $1,000 has been
pnid for one. The reason for this is
that the fur is required for the trim
mings of the robes of many of the
rulers of European nations. and only
the best skins are used for this plrrose
which, coupled with the fact that even
medium quality silver gray fur Is
scarce. put the price well up. The skin

Cat versus Trout.

member of the Sullivan Count,
Club caught half dozen trout one day
last summer and carried them alive To
his cottage, intending to take them te
the city, relates the New York Times.
He turned the water into his bath tub
and the trout seemed TO thrive "a
well there as they had done IN the
streams. That afternoon one Of the
fish disappeared. The man, thinking
II had jumped out. looked all around
the room, but no trout was to be seen.
Next morning two more were gone, ami
the servant was closely questioned.
Then two more disappeared. and the
fisherman was so much concerned that
he TOOK a place outside the bathroom
windows and proceeded to watch. Prct
~ soon the family cat entered, peroned
on the edge OF the tub. and waiting its
chance. struck viciously into the water
with one paw and brought mp the re-
naming trout.
