Col j: H.lAverill was selected By

sion to make thorough examination
OF the property. This report was
quite lengthy. He described the road
and the physical condition in great
detail naming the trestle on the line
and giving report as to other con-
ditions. He stated that he found the
road in very good condition, with
every indication that it had received
proper attention in the matter Of
maintenance and repairs. He pointed
out that In two or more Of the struc-
lures he had observed the presence Of
some timbers which, in his opinion,
called for renewal. He found that the
railroad company was making such re-
newalss but thatsuch timbers did not
make the praticular structures unsafe
and that. as a general thing, he found
all the structures mentioned In good
state Of repair and that he found none
of them unsound or unsafe

"A Pair of FakIrs.

nowie the great fakir, is now in
vaiding the city of New York, with
a lot OF his 'delutled followers, but
lie is not the only fanatical fakir
who claims mystical transformation.
We see it stated that Mrs. Beatrice
Stafford, Of Brooklyn, N. Y, is a
fakir of the Dowie kind, and may
get up counter demonstration. She
has gathered around her crowd Of
hysterical humbugs who style
themselves 'The Church Of Holy

taken the title of "Nlanna Mysteria, 2

woman WAS once an actress. She is
intelligent and handsome. She adj
mits that she,vas once fond of the
world, but claims that she now lives
entirely in the spirit. She is sur
rounded by staff Of prophets, who
i'll every-d day life bear ordinary names
and pursue ordinary avocations, but
who profess to believe themselves
reincarnations Of Matthew, Luke,
Peter, and other biblical celebrities.
They also pretend that Satan's rein
carnated form is present on the earth
in the form Ola human being. We
agree with our cotemporary that
undoubtedly the influence of the
Devil is in the world. We see it

The Most Horrihlc Yc,.

a white woman 80 years old was
criminally assaulted Thursday near
Nahunta, Ga, by an unknown negro.
The woman was at home alone when
without warning she was blinded by a
handful of red pepper thrown In her
eyes. For an instant before it was
thrown she saw her assailant was Il
negro and had a pistol. Her screams
and struggles did not prevet him from
accomplishing his purpose. The wo-
mans eyes we're terribly burned and
she is unable to give any description
OF her assailant. Searching parties are
out but without clue to work on.

How Nnr They Can Soc.

In the water fishes see only at very
close range--about half their own
length. This will seem, perhaps, un-
likely to anglers, although some of
them can cite instances showing that
a fish can not see far. Snakes seem to
have very mediocre sense Of Sight.
The boa, for instance, does not, see
more than a quarter or a third Of it's
own length. Different species. are
limited to one-tifth or one eighth Of
their length. Frogs are better Off
they see fifteen to twenty times their
length. 5

A Man Who Does Not Know Where

The correspondent OF the State says
stranger appeared IN Rock Hill last
Thursday who has created consider
able excitement, being unable to give
his name, from whence he came, OF in
fact no information whatever about
himself. 1t seemed clearly to bslsa
case Of lost identity and the pESsi-
clans interested themselfs in 1T and he
was taken to. the private hospital aud
has regained to ASCERTAIN extent is
mental faculties and is able now 20
give q Slightly ySintelligent account q
himself.
/, When he first came to, his past wa,
to him a total blank. He showed hi
sign OF insanity, only being unabl}
to give any account Of himself as .E
WHO or what he was. He is still nh
willing to give out anything for pub
lication, fOr,alth9nRh he can now Civ,
his name, and. seems to have .regainet
to certain extent his memory, he is
unwilling to trust much to it as yet
lie says his name is Lee, and that
he hal been employed by a large
clothing house in Buffalo, N. Y, tina
he left there last Christmas, and hal
been in Detroit, Mich, but did not
stay there long. He does not know
when nor why he left that part of the
country. He does not remember when
he came to Rock Hill nor how he gut
there. When he first came here he ap-
piled to one OF the large dry gooas
houses for work, but now has no rec0l.
lection oft. Said lie could remember
having $50 at one time but can only
presume he spent It,.
He is very respondent about him
self and seems mostly concerned now
as to how he will make money enough
to get away from Rock Hill. The ply
siclans seem to be Of the opinion that
he was sandbagged and the lick
on the head has bereft him Of all
recollection Of the past He is ap-
parently about 80 years of age and
seems to be OF more than ordinary In
telligence and refinement, and says he

to learn where his home is and some

replied to the letter, telling Mr. Kyle
of the death Of her fathe by lightning
several years ago.. Mr.. Kyle wrote
again, and the correspondence con-
tinued until 1t resulted in an engage
ment. Mr.. Kyle proposed to come
south for his bride, If she preferred 1t
that way, but suggested, as bis duties
as City engineer made IL Sinconvenlent
for him to leave, that She could come
to misunderstanding 1t entirely to
her. She decided to 20, and left
