TOOK EGGS FROM
A FREIGHT CAR

Station Master Lane had quite a
round with two boys in the Louisville &
Nashville freight yards Friday. The
youngsters forced entrance TO a car con
tanning eggs and helped themselves to
over dozen before discovering that
they we're being watched. Mr.. Lane
suspected the boys of wrongdoing and
followed them, and when they became
fearful of detection ana leaped to the
ground he gave chase. The culprits
ran up the track and under and between
cars, and 10 this way succeeded ia elud-
ing the officer for some time. He was
not inclined to give up the chase, how
ever, and finally, after persistent work,
located the stolen eggs at a grocery
store, where the boys had disposed of
them short while before. Later on he
came upon the boys and took them in
custody, more as a lesson to them than
anything else. One OF the boys became
so frightened at this that he tainted.
After he was restored to consciousness,
the two boys were given a good talking
and releaaed. 1t is safe to say they will
never attempt the like again.

COUNTY court
ADJOURNS.
All Work Completed In One
Day. The Venire,
HARRISON MILL TURNPIKE DISCUSSED.

The Quarterly Court made good time
Monday and disposed of all business
before them.
The reports of the various officers
and commissiC n 3rs were received anC
ordered on the minutes. Tbs report
of the Poor House Commissioner
showed forty four inmates in the in
stltutlon and that their average
monthly cost to the county was s. AZ.
On motion it was ordered that here
after all applications for charity must
be recommended by two magistrates
and that all applications for release
from poll tax and road duty must be
accompanied by a doctors certificate
showing disability to perform manual
labor and must be recommended by
two magistrates.
Messrs. T. E. Gordon, A. q. p.
Nicholson, Jr. and Shelby Gomez were
elected notaIies public.
The Work House Commi ssioners
were requested to make no further con-
tracts for working special roads in the
county, but to hire the convicts ont to
contractors for road work.
The mstter caused considerable dis
cussIon, especially in view of the fact
that a bill has been introduced in the
Legislature changing the present sys-
TEN of working the roads of the
county and ia view of the fnrtheI fact
that it Will take the commissioners
three or four years to complete the
contracts they have already made.
On motion. it was ordered that a
committee be appointed to confer
with Miss HardlsOn and ascertain the
cost of the constr uction and mainte-
nance of the Hardison Mill turnpike
and the amount of toll taken IN on the
pike with view of paying Miss HaT-
Olson the difference between the two
and making the pike a free road.
After the pike was built, 1t seems it
was thirteen months before the COM
missioners inspected IT with velw of
allowing toll to be collected. The loss
fell of course. on Miss HardIson, so
the above arrangement was considered
an equitable one. MessIs q. w.

Among these, which were chiefly pres

Washington were divided among the
heirs, but large proportion were left
at Mount Vernon for Mrs. Washington,
who was still living. Upon her death
Justice Bushrod Washington took pos

Anchorin1 to Icherex.

1t has been found that the currents
round the coast of Newfoundland make
at times q wide difference in the direc-
ton Of the drift Of icebergs and that Of
the fiat or pan ice, which, having mo-
great depth, is governed in its motions
by the surface currents and the winds.
The icebergs. tho larger part of which
are submerged to q great depth, follow
only the movement of the ocean water
rs a whole and are uninfluenced by the
winds. Thus q huge iceberg may often
be seen majestically maintaining its
slow advance in opposition to the wind
and across the general motion of the
fields Of fiat ice surrounding it. The
sealers often take advantage Of this fact
by mooring their vessels to IN iceberg
to prevent their ship drifting to lee
ward. The movement Of these great
mountains Of ice is practically ire
sistible.

Senator Cockrell has long been con-
