Durham. y. c.. Aug. 9.--Last night
there was q small sized wreck on the

CITY. The mixed train was getting out
TO Henderson and in leaving the switch
for the main line the switch was split,
derailing and partially overturnlng
two cars, both of which were loaded
No one was hurt.
Since the board of city aldermen at
the meeting Monday night, refused 10
pass resolution to condemn the strip
of land near the union depot station,
in order to get small park, the board
of county commissioners are going
ahead with preparations to enlarge the
iail on it's present site. This after
noon the county commissioners dis
cussed plans and means of enlarging
the Jail. This work is to be done at
once. s.t-
The proposition, backed by the
Chamber Of Commerce and many
business men was that the present jail
be not enlarged. but be moved to
another site, and that the city acquire
the strip of land between the court
house and the depot, putting there a
nice park The city aldermen would
not condemn the small strip of land
owned by the Rigsbee estate, and the
land could not be purchased for less
than fifteen thousand dollars. This
killed the move and permanent i'm
provements are to be made to the jail
where it now stands-immediate in

A LONG LOST CITY.

Tanagra, the Site of the Modern
Town of Grenada, In Greece.
Grenada is the name of the modern
city in Boeotia, Greece, which occupies
the site of the ancient city Of Tanagra.
The old town was rich and luxurious
place, greatly renowned for the cock
fights that were given there. 1t had
the honor of being the birthplace Of
Corinna, the great poetess of the fifth
century before Christ, and perpetuated
her memory by a majestic tomb, on
which she was represented Aye times
Crowned in remembrance of the five
victories which she had gained I'M the
lyrical contests with Pindar. Despite
this comparative celebrity it appeared
destined to the eternal sleep of forget
yulness when after more than twenty
two centuries of silence chance drew
to it the attention of archaeologists.
\ In 1870 the Inhabitants Of the neigh
boring villages while digging in their
fields exposed to view some tombs
which the French have assigned to the
Nineteenth century before the Chris
tian era. The discovery Of these first
;sapulchers. was the cause of excava-
hons, during which a quantity of other
tombs were discovered, all situated
along the roads which led from the
walls Of Tanagra in the, direction of
ChaIcis, Harnia and Platae.
Among this mass of tombs belonging
to several centuries the most interest
attaches to those of the fourth century
before the Christian era on account Of
their contents. 1t was in these particu
larly that the statuettes known today
under the name of ''Tanagra figurines"
were for the most part discovered.

feat is repeated several times during

Let the Change Go.
Many years ago, as the story runs,
when coOnskins were worth six bits

Of two bits was assessed for ferrying a
horseman across the st. Francis river,
there came along a traveller whose en-

The traveller was bound to cross, but
refused to pay three times as much as
the man who passed before him or the
one who was to come next. The ferry
man would not wet an oar unless pay
ment for his services was assured.
Here was ample foundation for an ar
gument, and presumably the OppOrtu
nifty was not neglected. But satisfac
tory arrangement was finally reached
the traveller getting value received for
his coonskin by being waited thrice
across the stream. This of course
would leave him on the right side, and
