Big Effect From Small Case.

That small acts sometimes pro-
duce great effects is exemplified by
the strange case of M. Reichart, a
gentleman of means, residing in the
Rue de Pompe, Paris. while play
ing at billiards one evening recently
in his house, M. Reichart hit q ball
so hard that it bounded from the
table and through an open window,
falling through the glass roof of q
drawing room in the nexthouse, and
smashing valuable Sevres vase.
The crash so alarmed an Aagora cat
sleeping on the table close by that
the animal sprang up and knocked
over lamp, which set fire to some
tapestry and necessitated the calling
out of the fire brigade, causing a
great deal of damage by water. M.
Reichart was engaged to the niece
of the invalid lady occupying the
house in which the damage was
caused. The commotion, however,
had so disastrous an effect on the
old lady's nerves that she died short
IL afterwards. On learning the in
direct cause of her aunt's death, the
young lady refused to marry M.
Reichart, and the heirs are now
suing him for the damage done.

changed to standard gauge.
1t is also the purpose of the COM

a.e now being made. The company
has been sufficiently financed for all

The Mobile Herald is rather in

themselves-and then it goes on to

but If there is nothing in the promises
and we have to pay the postage on
their return we would rather not have
them. But still we are hopeful with

The papers of the state are full of
good roads articles. The articles are
good, but the roads will remain bad
until they are worked by contract and
the people are forced to pay the
freight. Since Columbus discovered
the West Indies and somebody else
discovered America we have had bad
roads and they will continue to be
bad until people are forced to work
them just like they are forced to pay
their taxes. Besides, as the Progress
has alawys contended there will never
be a road law as long as men are sent
to the legislature who are afraid to
vote for law that will exterminate
all the sheep-killing dogs-and that
is the hardest proposition that has
ever struck this state. Sometimes it
occurs to us that all the candidates
running for the legislature are akin
to all the voters who own dogs and to
the dogs themselves.

Gonzales, editor of the Columbia,
S. O., States who was shot the other
day by Jim Tillman, lieutenant gov
ernor Of the state, died the other
night and the murderer is lat ease"
in the county Jail. Thus the light of
a noble man has been put out and the
life of the murderer hereafter will
not be worth thirty cents. 1t is a
little strange that such things will
occur. The murderer had the laws
of the state on his side. If he had
his character damaged there was the
law to rectify it. He could have en-
tered suit for damages, but instead
of doing this he had to take the life
of a fellow-man. This did not prove
the fact that he was not guilty of the
charges brought out against him in
the States-it only construes the idea
that he was guilty and adopted this
means to get out of it.
