4 Buried Villa.

Another discovery of great interes, was made not long ago in Pompeii. where the excavation work is being steadily carried on. Under the ash deposits there was found an extensive villa of handsome construction and ornament@d with very fine frescoes. The villa contains statues and other works of sculpture both Greek and Roman. besides very rich furniture which is well ornamented and also many vases of different kinds.
 There were also found coffers filled with gold and silver money. In the basement are great amphorae which were used for storage purposes and in the triclinium the tables were pre-. pared for banquet of 90 persons
 Some of the silver pieces seem to have been taken out at previous epoch, for there are traces of c't udes. tine search which was mads at . former date.

DANIEL BOUND
 OVER TO JURY
FATAL SHOOTING OF OR. MITCH. ELL AT GAINESVILLE sTIRs COMMUNITY.
MRS. DANIEL IS IN HOSPITAL
Men Were Business Partners and No Cause for the Tragedy Is Known to the Pubtic-Trial Will Be Nota- bic Legal Battle.

GlarksvilIe.-The killing of Dr. Mitchell by his business partner, 0. R. Daniel. Is still the sensation here. On the afternoon of the kill ing the coroner impaneled jury which viewed the body and ad- journed to the circuit court room, where evidence was taken. \ great crowd gathered, expecting sensa- tional developments, but were dis appointed, as the attorneys for the defense did not have the prisoner in the room and made no effort to prevent his being bound over.
 The relatives of Dr. Mitchell have employed Crayens X Coying- ton and Patterson & Ragon 10 as sist in the prosecution, while Mr. Daniel Is being defended by Me Kennon X Sellers. As no evidence was produced by the defense the state confined itself to simple proof of the killing and to Mr. Daniel $ statement that he did the killing.
 The two men had been business partners in the drug store. which l. a very handsome one, and they en- joyed a large trade. Dr. Mitchell was a son of one of the pioneer physicians of this part of the stat. His father and mother being dead, he had been boarding at the home of Mr. Daniel. Mrs. Daniel is in Texas in q hospital at this time and has been away for about two meeks. Dr. Mitchell had been 1T his room all the day of the killing evidently taking nap. Mr. Dan iel walked down to the house and entered, and the shooting followed immediately after he went in, there being no eye witnesses.
 The coroner's jury held Mr. Dan- iel to the grand jury. The trial will be notable one oa account of the prominence of the parties and the legal talent engaged on both sides. The two men had been on the best of trems, and no one knew of any trouble between them. They were both men of the highest stand ing in the county, and the case is peculiar in that every one seems to be friends of both, and nothing is heard on all sides but the deepest regret and sympathy for both men.

indiana Apiarist Keeps Them Busy by Sending Them South in
 Winter.

A quaint method of working the bees overtime was given by one of the enthusiasts, who claims that the bees really enjoy the busy life throughout the year, when they find themselves where honey producing blossoms are plentiful
 My bees now work overtime" he said. No hibernating for them. In the spring l send them down south. and they toll like blazes among the southern flowers. In summer l bring them here to the east, working them till the honeysuckle and the clover are quite gone. The autumn season finds them in Florida. where they make a peculiarly rich and aromatic honey from the Florida flowers Cali fornia gives them all they can do in the winter.
 It's a splendid idea. I got it from those hotel keepers of Europe. who
