Mr. q. w. Vaughn, of 364S Page
Avenue, st. Louis, brings to Mari
on the first perfect Autograph
stone ever discovered in America.
II is found in Baxter county. Ar
kansas, the ledge being from q to
Al feet thick, capped with an ex-
ceedingly hard, white flint, which
in turn has a limestone roof, as
also limestone floor. The stone
itself is of light gray color, vel
vety to the touch, and is some
what similar TO the best China
clay. except that it is very much
harder and verv heavy. The ex-
tension of the Iron Mountain rail-
road will enable Mr.. Vaughn to
market his product, proba bly,
about twenty carloads per year,
which will supply the demand in
this country. The returns will
yield some $4,000 per car. St.
Louis photographers have used
this stone in practical work and
pronounce il equal il not superior
to the German product.

BARlTEs AND ZINC BLENDE.

The specific gravity Of zinc
blende is 405 and that Of barite
4.06. II would be a practical me-
chanical impossibility TO make
the separation between the two.
Hence the mining property that
carries zinc blende and barite
better be left alone unless man
has money TO burn.
GRAPHITE PREVENTS BOILER SCALE
Ii is said that a small quantity
of graphite, mixed with water, US
ed in boilers will prevent scale
forming, and il scale Is already
in the boiler, the graphite will
penetrate the old scale and decom-
pose it, so that il will drop to the
bottom. The discovery that gra-
quite 10 a water soitener was made
by a mining company in Mexico,
which used water slightly colored
by graphite, and noticing that
their beiler kept free from scale,
came TO the conclusion that the
graphite acted as the preventive.

 AT CORNER OF THE WOODWARD BUILDING
KNOXVILLE NEGRO
 MAY BE HENRY KING
ONE ARRESTED THERE THOUGHT TO BE MURDERER OF POLICE MAN J. H. MULLlN, WHO WAS KILLED LAST SEPTEMBER.

A negro has been arrested in Knoxville on suspicion of being Henry King. want ed here for the murder of Policeman J. H. Mullin last September, on Second ave- nue and Twenty-seventh street. After telephone and telegraph communications, if the local police have any idea this is the right negro one of the policemen will be sent there.
 The following was received from Knox vile:
 Policeman Childress arrested a negro today on the charge of being fugitive from justice from Birmingham, where, 1t is claimed, he is waived for shooting Policeman Mulin. The officer arrested him on his description and information as bAng Henry King.
 The negro was placed in the Knox county jail, and this evening Birmingham officers were wired. The negro gives his home is Pittsburg, Pa., and that he has been no further south than Knoxville. He claims he knows nothing of the crime with which he is charged
 King, or Burwell, is S5 years of age, weights 175 pounds and is about feet 10 inches in height. Owing to a recent rul- ing of Sheriff Fox, no one is allowed to see prisoners at the jail, and no excep- tions are made with reporters, hence a fuller description cannot be obtained of the negro"

 Narrow Escape.
 "Scruggs did not see Mothershed or the pistol, and would have walked in front of it if I had not caught his arm and shot fired, as Scrugge turned when I caught his arm. Hambrick turned around and started towards the door to Parker's drug store and Mothershed fired the second shot at him, striking him in the side. He ran on into the building and fell down near the door leading to the lobby. where he died.
 "Mothershed stood up in the store and had his pistol in his hand, holding it above his heart part of the time. Policemen ran in and I pointed out Mothershed to them"
 Dead Mans Relatives,
 Hambrick leaves a mother, a sister and i a brother. The latter Is a conductor on the Lakeview car line of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, and lives on Church street. The deceased had been in Birmingham many years, working part of the time in the Rolling Mills at Ensley. He went to Texas and stayed there some time, but came back to Bir- mingham and was working at the time of his death as a switchman in Pratt City. In the pockets of the dead man were found several letters addressed to him at the general delivery in Birming- ham and Ensley. There were also his credentials from the Southern railway that he was a swtchman, and from state- Railroad company that he was sober and industrious.
 No weapons were found on him. He had $625 in silver in his pockets, some letters, papers and sack of tobacco The funeral arrangements have not been made.
 Mothershed has been living in Birming- ham about eight months. He came here from Decatur, and has, besides a wife, two children. He was born in Calhoun county. He has secured several good contracts as a carpenter since he has been here.
 A third shot was fired during the trou- ble, but it was not from Mothersheds s gun. One of the clerks in Parker's store grabbed a pistol when he heard the shots and it was accidentally exploded. The bullet did no damage. Mothershed used 3s calibre latest improved pistol and two shots were fired from it. Coroner Paris was notified and will probably hold an inquest this morning.
