Stealing Ride, Boy Suffocated.

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 30.-The
body OF youth, apparently II years
old, believed to be that Of J. B. Chris
tian, Of Tallahassee. Fla. was found
in the mail car Of train arriving
here from Atlanta last night. The
coroner's verdict was death by suffo-
cation. The boys forehead, eyes,
face and chest are bruised, but no
bones are broken. The body was
found under the pile Of mail sacks
and pouches when the car was clear
ed here.
Mail Messenger Cofield says the
boy approached him in Atlanta and
asked to be allowed to ride to Ope-

would apply to the baggagemaster 1t
is believed the boy crawled into the
car and hid himself and was buried
under the pile OF mail matter thrown

70 Stop Brake-Beam Accidents.

Brakeman II. C. Stanley, of the
Louisville division Of the Southern
Railway, has invented and patented
device for preventing accidents to
trains due to failing brake beams. 1t
is claimed by the inventor that the
device will not only set the brakes on
train If the brake-beam on any car
falls, but that it will also keen the
beam from dropping on the rails.
Mr.. Stanley's device depends for
Its operation upon chain connected
with valve set into the pipe line,
which carries the air with which the
brakes are operated If the brake
beam falls 1t is caught by this chain
an Its weight opens the valve to
which 1t Is attached. The cscap;ng
air causes the brakes to be automati.

condemned a large number OF the
prisoners taken at Kings Mountain
to be hanged at sunrise the next

against 1t, as there was colonel to
be tried. and there was no one Of
sufficient rank to try a colonel, and

sion with him.
lie made a speech demanding that
the court martial be postponed until
next day. when Gen. Jos. Mcdowell
would come up, when the trial could
proceed properly and legally. Gen.
Mcdowell did not arrive until next
morning after sunrise, and after
eight men had been hung. He had
heard that there was danger Of this,
as rcprisals were in order, but
thought that Alexander would pre-
vent it. When he did arrive he stop
ped the whole affair, and neither
tried nor executed any others.
On one occasion while on visit to
his family, the home Of Col. Alexan-
der was surrounded by Il band Of
Tories, and he was called upon to
surrender lie, from within, heard
the call, and knew it meant death.
The night was dark; his wife sud

The Tories fired upon him, wounding
him in the side. He tore his shirt off
as he ran and staunched the blood as
best he could. He reached the cane
brake, plunged into it's welcome shell
ter, and lay almost exhausted, but
hidden. The Tories continued their
search for while, and, although
several times came near the object Of
their search, they left without find

Do you read the label to know whether
your baking powder is made from cream
of tartar or on the other hand from alum
or phosphate2
Royal Baking Powder is made from
of tartar, derived from grapes, and
adds to the food only wholesome qualities.
Other baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both Of mineral origin, and
used as substitutes for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and healthful-
