A big blast was set off in the main
quarry of the Index Granite works,
last week, breaking down vast amount
of granite and furnishing material for
the granite works that will keep the
large crews busy for many months.
The derrick in the quarry and the west
end of the big shed were somewhat
damaged by the falling rock, but no
serious harm was done and the blast
was an entire success. Preparations
had been under way several months
for the big blast, tunnel some fifty
odd feet having been driven into the
face of the granite, with cross-cuts to
the right and left at the end of the
tunnel. Two hundred and twenty-five
kegs of powder were used.-Index

Preparations for the winter work at
the property OF the Holden Gold &
Copper Mining Company, located on
Lake Chelan, are being made and a
force of eight men is at work getting
out the winter supply of wood.
New men have been added to the
force this fall, and with crew of thirty
men the work is progressing rapidly in
all the tunnels. In No. 8, the main
tunnel, two machines have been work
ing steadily all summer with encourag-
ing results. This tunnel has been
driven distance of /, 400 feet.
The full width Of the ledge has not
been determined, ranging at present
from 40 to 200 feet and assaying about
$40 per ton in copper.
A shaft is being sunk in No. Q tun-
mel to connect with No. 8, and the
shaft has been in ore all the way.
Progress in No. Il tunnel has been
discontinued, as the showing has more
than satisfied the owners.
Above these three tunnels new
tunnel was started this summer, which
opened up finer body Of ore than any
OF the other tunnels or shafts. Open
cuts have been made on this ore body
for over 5000 feet, and the ore aver
ages SIS in gold along the entire
ledge.
Great Northern railroad representa-
tives have recently visited the lake and
the Holden property, and from latest
reports the Oroville-Wenatchee branch
is expected to be completed by next
fall. Mining men Of this section are
looking forward to the certain pros
poets of a great mine, rivaling the
Cranky holdings Of the same company.

The Govan Correspondent and The
olOgy.

olO2y..
Editor The Bamberg Herald: The
Govan correspondent of The Herald
has certainly forgotten the bounds OF
true propriety in corresponding for
country newspaper, in thrusting
into his correspondence, as he has
done recently, discussion of contro-
verted theological subject, the final
state of the wicked.
It was uncalled for and unfair to
take the position of a minister in his
own pulpit on any subject, that had
not been printed, and criticize it In
a county newspaper.
It is very much out of place in
county newspaper, as such papers do
not propose to discuss theological
questions about which there are diff
ferences of opinion in the Christian
world. There are plenty OF religious
newspapers which present suitable
medium for discussing these things,
as they are in existence for that pur-
pose; but as a county newspaper is
not, such airing of religious views,
and especially criticizing OF a min
ister's discourse, no doubt from his
own pulpit, is a breach Of common
propriety that the Govan correspond
ent surely did not realize and which
is not appreciated by many readers
of The Herald.

BOGUS LORD ALMOST MUMMY.
Body of Sidney Lascelles in Asheville
Establishment.

Asheville, June 12.-Standlng
erect in a case in the rear room OF
the undertaking establishment OF
Nolan, Brown & Co., of this city, is
the embalmed and now almost num-
mifed body of the man known as
Sidney Lascelles, the bogus Lord
Beresford.
The body was embalmed six years
ago and is now as stiff as board
and when laid between two chairs,
with only the head and feet touch
ing, it will not bend. The undertak-
er says that the man came here
from Norfolk, claiming to be Lord
Beresford and they embalmed the
body on the supposition that wealthy
relatives would care for it. Cable
grams were sent to Lord Beresford in
England, but no response was re-
ceived.
The undertakers now admit the
man was an imposter and are keep
ing the body as proof of their skill
in embalming. They have refused
to sell the body to shows, being Of
fered $4,000 for it.

Strike Arbitrators Can't Agree.

Washington, June ia further
conference was held to-day in the Of
fees of the interstate commerce COM
mission by the arbitrators Of the
Georgia railroad strike, Former Sec
retary Of the Navy Hilary A. Herbert
and Representative Hardwick, of
Georgia. An effort was made to
agree upon the appointment of the
third arbitrator, but it was unsuc-
cessful. Several names were sug-
gested, but none of them was salts
factory to the two arbitrators.
1t developed to-day that the arbi-
traitors were in communication with
the powers which appointed them
and that the probabilities are that no
third arbitrator who is not satisfac-
tory to the parties in the controversy
will be appointed.
If this disposition be manifested
to the ultimate conclusion, the likeli-
hood is that the terms of the Erd-
man act, the appointment of the
third arbitrator, will have to be made
by the board of mediation, Chair
man Knapp and DR.. Neill.
Mr.. Herbert and Mr.. Hardwick
will hold another conference in an
effort to agree upon the third arbi-
traitor. Mr.. Herbert said tonight
that the names of the men considered
and rejected cannot be made public
at this time.
He declares that if the third arbi-
traitor is not agreed upon by Satur-
day he will be selected by the medi-
alton board.

trestle, between here and Yorkville.
A car of meat consigned to mer-

road in order to get it here quickly
and this car jumped the track at the
point named. After humping along
on the ties for some distance the
car turned over and rolled down the
embankment. Very fortunately it
broke loose from the rest Of the

MADE NARROW ESCAPE.
Young Child Comes Near Being Kill
ed by a Cow.

On Thursday afternoon Mr.. Perry
turned his cow into his front yard to
eat grass. While the COW was graz
ing Mr.. Perry's little girl Mildred,
aged three or TOUR years, was play
ing in the yard. The COW being
gentle one there was no thought Of
danger. Suddenly the cow made I
dash at the little girl, caught her up
on it's horns and threw her some dis
tance; then rushed at her again. Mr..
Perry, being nearby, rushed at the
cow and gave it tremendous kick
in time to save the child. The child
was right badly bruised, the horns of
the COW tearing her clothing entire
ly off and making an ugly mark near
ly the length of her body. But for
the fact that the horn of the COW had
been broken off and was consequent
ly blunt, the child would likely have
been gored to death before the faith
er could have interfered.
Mr.. Perry in kicking the COW Sc
verely sprained his hip, and was
laid up day or two at home, and is
still quite lame.-Newberry Observ-

chicken snake, about six feet long.
Returning to his bellows, Mr.. Heg-

snakes head was thrust out of the
hole. The astonished farmer pulled
it out also with his tongs and kill

GIVES HIMSELF UP IN AIKEN
AID. BOYLSTON SURRENDERS TO
SHERIFF OF AIKEN COUNTY.
He Declares That He Fears That He
Would Not be Safe in Jail in
Barnwell.

Aiken, June 14.-Early this morn
ing Ad. Boylston came to Aiken and
surrendered to Sheriff RADON. Boyl-
ston is charged with the assassina-
ton of Young Cleveland Tanning,
near Williston, some days ago. The
Barnwell authorities have been on
the lookout for him since the killing,
as he was suspected from the first,
but Boylston has been in hiding and
could not be found. At 5 o'clock
this morning Boylston came to the
home of Deputy Sheriff w. w. Bus
bee and said ne wished to be placed
in Jail in Aiken. He said he was
afraid to go to Barnwell to surren-
der, as he feared injury at the hands
of his enemies.
The case has created a great deal
of excitement in this city. The foul
murder of Cleve Tanning occurred &
few miles from Williston, in the
county of Barnwell. He was shot
from his buggy, as he was returning
to his home from Williston, two
loads entering his body. Blood
hounds were secured and tracks OF
two persons were trailed to the Eds
to river, where the parties escaped
in a boat up the river. The tracks Of
the parties we're concealed in wraps
of old rags. Cotton is said to have
been bundled up around their feet,
presumably to prevent any dogs from
trailing their tracks Bits of cotton
were found by their tracks, saturated
with kerosene.
At the time, strong suspicion was
evinced against Ad. Boylston. Ad.
Boylston is a brother-in-law of young
Tanning, having married Fanning's
sister. Detectives were placed in
charge of the matter, and it is said
that they have been looking for Boyl-
ston for some days, but could not
find him.
Boylston was seen in the Aiken
jail to-day by correspondent and
he said that he was innocent of the
crime which he was suspected of
committing. He says he had nothing
whatever to do with it, and has no
knowledge whatever concerning It..
He said that he has no enemies in the
world, excepting the family OF his
wife. It was through fear Of them
that he came to Aiken and surren-
dered. He was afraid to go to Barn.
we'll, fearing injury from them.
He said, however, that there would
likely be some interesting develop
ments in the matter before many
days, but he did not say what the ma
ture of them would be.
Boylston is comparatively young
man, being about 80 years of age.
He was married to Miss Tanning
some time ago. After they lived to-
gether some time, it is said, they
separated, and Mrs. Boylston went
back to the home of her people. One
story has it that Boylston tried to
force her to return to him and was
met with opposition from the family,
who, so the story goes, stood ready
to protect her. Another says that
they mutually agreed to again live
together, but that her people would
not allow her to return to Boylston.
Boylston lives in this county, just
few miles across the line from
BarnWell.

FAMILY LIVED IN STUMP.
They Build a Cosy Home in Gigan-
tic Cedar.

A dispatch from Seattle, Wash,
says with seven children and a fat
wife, John Seivert, lately from Iowa,
is living in a stump in the northern
part of that city.
Seivert went to Seattle several
months ago. He had but little mon
ey and a large family. Because Of
the great boom there he was unable
to find an empty house and resolved
to build one of his own. He bought
an unimproved lot in the north part
of the city, in a district where log
ging operations ceased but year
ago, and on going out to plan his
house he found half the lot occu-
pied by a gigantic cedar stump thir-
ty feet high and eighteen feet in d.
ameter ten feet above ground.
With an auger and saw Seivert
cut out a seven-foot section from the
south end, and walked into his
stump. The walls were found to be
fifteen inches thick and the whole
stump was hollow shell. He cut
out windows, laid a tight floor and
made a ceiling Of planking and floor
ing.
Twelve feet above ground Seivert
made the windows for the second
story. The third story was construct
ed and tight roof of shiplap and
shingles was made over the top.
Seivert peeled off the bark and
painted the stump a light green and
the window and door frames pure
white. The whole makes very pref
ty home at a cost of only $40, and
the owner has refused $4,000 for his
| unique abode.
