VIOLENT DEATHS.
One Indication Is the Immediate Set
ting In of Rigor Mortis.

More than once the question of
unnatural death turns upon something
grasped In the hand. The object is
held because the hand stiffens through
what is known as rigOr mortis (pro-
nounced rye-gor mor-tis), a s%tiffening
Of the muscles of the body after death.
Now, if a person dies naturally this
stiffening of the muscles does not take
place, as a rule, until two hours or
more after death, and then 1t comes on
slowly. In cases of violent death, how
ever, rigor mortis sets In Immediately.
1t Is through this that many a muir
derer has been caught and many a SO
called accidental death proved to be in
territorial.
One of h most remarkable effects of
this sudden stiffen1ng after death ap-
pears In the account of the charge of
Balaclava. Captain Nolan while riding
at the head of the noble six hundred
had his chest torn open by a Russian
shell.
The arm he was waving in the air at
the moment remained high upIifted.
and he retained his seat on his horse.
which wheeled around and passed
some distance through the ranks before
the rider fell.
Portions of the hair and clothing of Il
murderer have often been found in the
hands of the victim, while bodies re.
covered from the water have brought
with them clutched in their fingers
weeds and mud from the bottom, show
Ing that death occurred in the water
and not on land.-London Answers.

FLEETEST OF ALL DOGS.
Greyhounds Can Run as Fast as Car
rier Pigeons Can Fly.

Comparatively few people realize of
what remarkable speed dogs are ca
pable. The wolf can run between fifty
and sixty miles In one night, and the
arctic fox can do quite as well, if not
better. Nansen met one of these foxes
on the ice at a point more than seven
ty miles northwest of the Sannikow
territory, which is 4S0 miles from the
Asiatic coast. Eskimo and Siberian
dogs can travel forty-five miles on the
ice in five hours, and thy is n case
on record in which a team of Eskimo
dogs travelled six and one-half miles
In twenty-eight minutes.
English settlers and pointers hunt at
the rate of eighteen to nineteen miles
an hour, and they can maintain the
speed for at least two hours. Fox
hounds are extraordinarily swift, as is
proved by the fact that a dog of this
breed once beat a thoroughbred horse,
covering four miles in six and one
half minutes. ~Greyhounds are the
swiftest Of all four footed creatures,
and their speed may be regarded as
equal to that of carrier pigeons. Eng
lish greyhounds which are carefully
selected and which are used for cours-
ing are able to cover at full gallop a
space between eighteen and twenty
three yards every second. 1t is said
that a hare at its greatest speed never
goes faster than at the rate of eight
cen yards a second. These interest
ing statistics fully prove the right Of
the greyhounds to rank as the swiftest
of the acknowledgements Repub-
lican.

Governor Fielder has just received
from Adjutant General Sadler his an
nual report showing the strength and
condition of the National Guard, includ-
ing the Naval Reserve. 1t shows that
IN September 80, last, the military and
naval establishment included 400 officers
and 6,O48 enlisted men, as it's authorized
strength. The actual strength was 4,917
enlisted men, showing 1,131 vacancies, or
133 more than last year. The report
also points out that according to the new
state census there are 659,S33 males of
militia age in the state, so that for every
1874 males of militia age, there is only
n in the military or naval service.
The report indicates numerous deicien-
cies in the Guard, and General Sadler
urges harder work and more attention
to the details Of drilling, etc, to over
come the shortcomings. The General
recommends that a board of three Of

Mason Duncan died at his home
near Westminster on Monday night
March 18th. in the SD year OF his
age. His death was not unexpected
He had been in very feeble health
for some time and had been practi-
caly helpless for several months, SUI
icring with paralysis.
Early in life he married Ms,
Nancy Glare Riley, native OF An
dcrson county, having been brought
to this county when small child.
Seven children were born to them
Six children survive, these being
Mrs. Henrietta Vaughn, Of the Cone
ross section; Mrs. Anna Mccoy, of
West Point, Ca; Mrs. Olive Rccdcr.
Of West Union; J. NJ. Duncan. Of
Westminster; Mrs. Francis DOdd, Of
Grcenville; Mrs. Kate Edmonds. of
Honca Path. Mrs. Eleanor Brock
died years ago.
Mr.. Duncan was a quiet. unassum-
ilS NHi i5'l IAN re was an eIGcf IN
Bethel Presbyterian church for over
10 years. He worked for the peace
Of the entire community. Many
came to him to help them when in
trouble aad found him ever ready
and willing and went away with
their burdens lightencd. He was a
patient worker in the church and
Sunday school. and worked with m-
firing effort to bring his children up
in the ways of the Lord The fam
lily altar was remembered in his
home.
He knew when the end was near
and asked that no more nourishment
or medicine be given him. The day
before he died he called his wife and
children that were with him to his
bed and said his time was up and
that he was ready and willing to 60
and begged his wife not to grievc;
that she would soon be with him.
His suffering was great towards the
end, although he was conscious and
talked almost till the last. His last
words were that he was afraid his
means would disturb others.
We have his word that he was
