We were visited by a severe wind and
rain storm Thursday last, and the night
following. About the worst damage
done by it was the blowing down of
garden palings, hundreds of panels of
fence, and large number of trees, es-
pecially on the turpentine orchards.
by the storm, except one instance, an
account of which we give below: AS
Mr.. James Hayes and cOlOred man
named Walter Love were coming from
ThOmasyille in a wagon, on the Dun
canville road, near the II mile post, a
pine tree was blown down upon them,
breaking the wagon body in two, crush
ing one wheel and wOunding the two
men. The negro had his thigh broken
just above the knee, and Mr.. Hayes was
badly bruised about the chest. 1t was
thought at one time that his collar bone
was broken, but happily it was not. He
complains of being very sore about
those places which were struck by the
limbs of the pine. 1t is rot thought
that he sustained any internal injuries,
and we hope he and the wounded negro
will soon be restored to sOundnesS and
health. AS soon as the tree fell upon
tmem it pinned them down, and doubt
less they would have died right on the
spot f they had not hallOwed so loudly
that the people at Susina, which was
only half mile distant, hearing them,
came to their assistance and lifted the
tree off them. Theteam escaped injury,
but they could not get free from the
wagon. nor move it, and had to stand
until they too were released. The
wounded men were carried to Lloyd
Dickey's house and cared for until the
mex, morning. The accident happened
just after dark. DR.. Robertson was
called and attended to their wounds.
Mr.. Hayes was carried to his home. We
heard yesterday that he was doing well.
A few days past Mr.. Mel. Hanna's
tallyhO coach ran into Mr.. John Dick
eys buggy near the four mile post, as
the latter was going to Thomasville,
and broke one wheel to pieces, and also
had wheel of the tallyhO broken. Mr..
Leroy Diekey and mother we're in the
buggy. Fortunately no one was hurt.

QUARRELs ATE UP ESTATE.

If f1le claims now pending against the estate of the late Joseph Richard son of New York, of "spite house. fame. who died in 1897, are sus- tained by the courts it is said that not only will the entire fortune of that eccentric millionaire be wiped out, but his estate will be left in debt Tn amount the cash and securities i'll the hands of the administrators now aggregate $1.571 6S5, while the toal number of claims is $1,624, ,559, which, with others still to be made, will make the amount, of the claims exceed the value of the estate by S100.000. These do not include all the bills of counsel who are interested in the complicated litigation, although they do take ill more than $125.O00 in fees.
 This condition of affairs was pre- sented to Surrogate Fitzgerald upon an application made by Edward s. Clinch to compel the administrators of the estate, Mrs. Emma J. Richardson and Benjamin Nicoll, brother of Delancey | Nicoll, to pay to Rev. Harry NJ. War ren, pastor of the Central Park Baptist church, bequest of $50,000 made to him. and another of S17.50O for the purpose of paying off the mortgage on the church property.
 Howard A. Taylor, counsel for Del laripha c. Richardson, daughter; Miss Emily Emmette niece of the testator and Rose H Richardson. as eXecutrix of her husband. George Rich | ardson who was a son of the testator l and other creditors declared that, as claims representing more than mill lion dollars against the estate had been disalloWed. there was no reason why Mir. Warren's claims should have q preference, especially owing to the fact that the entire amount of claims is more than the value of the entire estate.
 By the terms of MT. Richardson's will he left the fortune in three equal shares for the benefit of his widow. who was his second wife; his son and his daughter. They were children of q former wife. \ bitter contest over the estate followed, as the two children | objected to their step-mother receiving such q large share of their fathers estate. Surrogate Fitzgerald tried the will contest and admitted the paper to probate.
 At the time of the death of MT Rich ardson some of his friends placed his fortune at $25.000., ,O0O but the more conservative ones said that it was be- tween S5.000.000 and SG.O0O.O0O.
 During his lifetime MT. Richardson gave his two children and his niece large blocks of securities and collect ed and reinvested the dividends for them. It is said that he transferred to them more than million and a half of dollars in this way. It is owing to this circumstance that such a compli- cation has arisen in the attempt to make q settlement of the estate.
 The widow of George Richardson has several actions against the estate, aggregating more than S600.O0O The daughter has two actions pending to recover upward of $2OOO0O. and Miss Emmett has five suits the object of which is to recover more than a half million dollars The widow also has large claim for property which is now in her hands as one of the ad- ministrators.

HAS WEIGHTY PLANS
Wonderful Things Promised by an
 Indianapolis Man.
Device to See over Telephone Almost Perfected = Second Invention Separates Gold from Sand
 at Small Cost.

An inventives genius of Indianap- oils. Ind, whose name is withheld for the present, within few weeks will give the world two inventions that promise to reyolutionize two great industries of the world and, at the same time, to affect other chan nels of the worlds commerce..
 One is a device whereby man talking at telephone may see who is talking and be seen by the talker, as we'll as hear and be heard, no matter how great the distance sep arating the two instruments. The other is a device separating flour gold from the sand and foreign par ticles surrounding it, rendering placer mining so cheap that the pre- cious metal may be proitably sep arated from gold-bearing dirt at ex- pense so small that the cost of op~ eration is, in substance, nothing.
 The inventor is represented by At torney Bernie B. Cohen, a young law yer who befriended the man, and, when he was practically penniless, advanced him funds with which he might continue his experiments and bring his machines to the present state of perfection.
 Attorney Cohen declared to a Chi cago Tribune correspondent that the gold separating device will render the work of separating microscopic particles of gold from surrounding sand as cheap as the Edison mag netic process for drawing minute particles of iron from other foreign materials with which it is mixed. i. Ut might be called" the inven- tors representative said, "an 'au- ronetic' mechanism, inasmuch as it attracts particles of the precious metal as the magnet attracts Parti- cles of iron or steel"
 The other invention, for similar reasons, has been named the telelec

INDIAN GOLD HoARDERs.
MiIliards Upon Milliards of Francs Supposed to Re Lying Idle ip '
 Hiding Places.

Of the outpouring of gold which during four centuries has been scat- tered all over the world, an immense portion remains idle in India. where it has been imbedded In India the gold returns to the earth and re- mains there more completely hidden than it was in it's original state. The amount of gold brought into India during the past 60 years, that is to say, from 1887 to 1898, is greater by three milliards nine hundred and for ty-three millions of francs than the amount exported. The soil of India absorbs the floods of gold just as the sand of the deserts swallows the over- flow of the great rivers. When it is remembered that this work of ab- sorption has been going on with little Interruption for ten centuries and still continues, it is easy to form an idea of the immense treasures that are hidden in that country. All this gold remains sterile, and, consequent ly, is lost. It is estimated that mil lizards upon milliards of francs in gold lie idle in the hiding places of India. and it is known that this colossal treasure is in coin that dates back several centuries.
