Roads Made OF Rubber.

Several stretches of roadway in Lon
don have been made of rubber, and the
people in the neighborhood are delight
ed with it. A whole regiment OF horse
men and all the dray wagons in the
city can tear at breakneck speed over
those rubber roads without in the least
disturbing the slumber Of the most
irritable and nervous resident in the
neighborhood. But it costs lots OF
money to make and keep in repair rub
Der roadways, and the experiment is
not likely to become very generally
adopted. Besides, most of the rubber
extant is used in necks.

Some On Economy.

An exchange in neighboring county,
tells the following about a man of an
economical turn: He comes to town
with a pair of horses, brings along his
own oats, saves barn fare by fastening
the team to tree or fence on the out
skirts, and in order not to lose the oats
which the animals toss about more or
less while feeding he always brings
along at least two chickens which he
tied near the horses heads. How is
that for economical ingenuitY?'

DEAD IN FIRE
Aged Citizen Is Found AT His
Home Near Town of
Pennington.

BRIDGEPORT, Dec. 16.-Col-
onel Curtis Davidson. IS years of
age met death in horrible manner
at his home near Pennington, eight
miles east of here, on Friday night.
Mr.. Davidson was a widower and
lived alone. Friday evening incoln
Greenhouse, a neighbor. called and
passed the evening with Mr.. David
son. returning to his own home
about 10 o'clock. 1t seems that
the old gentleman had been drink
ing heavily, SO on Saturday morning
Mr.. Greathouse called again to see
how his neighbor had rested during
the night. When he entered the
house a gruesome sight presented it
self. On the floor in front of the
open CRATE lay the lifeless body of
Col Davidson, his flesh burned and
charred in horrible manner.
1t is supposed that while the old
man was in a drunken stupor, fire
from the pipe which he habitually
smoked. ignited his clothing, and
that he was literally burned alive.
Col. Davidson was a veteran of
the civil war, and although a fear
less soldier when facing his coun-
try's foe. he was unable to combat
his personal foe-the worm of the
still. His remains were inferred in
the Union cemetery at Simpson Sun
day, the Rev. Pat Murray having
charge of the obsequies.
Col. Davidson drew a large pen
sion and had just received his
quarterly allowance. This fact led
some to believe that foul play
might have been the cause OF his
death. But upon close investiga-
ton 1t was found the Colonel's mon
ey had not been taken, as several
coins were on the floor near the
body and also a ten dollar bill. half
of which was burned off.
