T he colored people of Walton county held
their county alliance meetiug Saturday.
Each sub-alliance was represented, and
resolutions were adopted which, if carried
cause a good deal of trouble and
conflict between the two alliances, or, in
other words, between the land owners and
the common laborers. The resolutions
adopted are, in substance, about as follows:

.allow any of their family, or any person
they can control, to pick a lock of
cotton for any person, or under any cir
cumstances. for less than 75 cents per lIKJ.
Second, that they will work for no person

$1 25 in the summer, and to work only eight
hours per day. Third, that they recommend
tlie grand jury to find true bills against
every “colored perso who loafs about

tion f. r punishing any negro who works
for a less price than that agreed on in tne

IVihcipa! Assistant Euginoor Sackett of
tlie United Statesamiy is busily engaged in
carving out of a slab of wood, as near as
P' ssible, a model or plan of the northwest
entrance to the Key West harbor. He
takes tho dimensions, of course greatly re
duced, from the United States engineers’
chart to compile which they took over 25,-
000 soundings. Thirty feet is the greatest
depth represented in the model, and as the
water shallows tho wood is left in
little terraces and hero and there where
rocks show their nave beaten heads al
low water, pieces of wood are tacked on tho
slab to represent them. After Mr. Sackett
has carvel as true a copy of the bottom, or
what is known as a matrix, as is possible
out of wood, the next thing to bo done is to
cover the wholo outline with a uniform
thickness of wax, iu which ho will form
tho smaller and more intricate details.
When the model is finished to Mr. Hackett’s
satisfaction lie will pour plaster of paris
over itand lot it remain until it hardens; this
forms what is called tho negative, aud
from this any number of plaster of paris
-copies can bo taken. T o entrance to the
harbor of Key \V ost is obstructed by a bar
similar to the St. Augustine harbor bar, the
only difference being that tlie Key West
bar is composed nearly all of rock instead
of sand, and so if once cleared out would be
permanent. There is about 11 feet of water
at low tide and 14 feet when the tide is
high. Tlie exiienditure for the sounding
cost over $5,000.
The first serious accident which ever oc
curred on tho tra n road used by the West
Bros, for carrying logs to their mill at
West Farm, Madison couuiy, occurred last
Saturday. By this accident three little
negro girls were horribly crippled, and tlie
engine and cars w ore damaged to a consid
erable extent. The train, which consisted
of au eugiue and six or seven ears, was going
from the mill after logs, the engino pushing
instead of pulling tho cars, and going at u
fair rate or speed. Three negro girls, of
from 8 to 14 years of age, were
seated upon ,ene of the cars with
their feet dangling over its
end and liottvoen It and anutlier car. Their
father stock! near by and was watching
them, cars rounded a curve a calf
or a now was run over by the car in front.
This left the track and was followed by tho
ot ers, the bumpers of two or t nree being
broken. When the father saw the cars
leaving the track he told the girls to draw
their feet up, and at tbe same moment
caught the youngest one in his arms
to get ger out of danger. The others
made an effort to do as directed,
but before they could and > so suc
cessfully the cars came together witli a
crash, catching a leg of each and grinding
tlie bones to powder, and the flesh into jelly.
Tlie little ono whom the father caught
escaped-with a slight mash upon the heel of
ouo foot. Div. ] ’arramore, Sessions and
Boatright wore summoned as speedily ns
possible. They found it necessary to
amputate the leg of one of the unfortunates
above the knee as there wns no tope for the

SPRECKELS’ DISCOVERY.
The Sugar King Makes Building
Blocks of Sugar.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Sugar king Claus Spreckels has entered
the lists with Wizard Edison and is
crowding the electric magician pretty hard
in bis bid for novel discoveries besides as
tonishing the world by his fight with the
ali-powerful sugar trust. This time Mr.
Spre-ckels has evolved something which, if
all that is claimed for it be true, will revolu
tionize the building trade, or at least that
portion of it where marble and the more
costly fine stones are used.
King .Sprocket- has made the wonderful
discovery that he can make sugar hard
enough to take the place of marble. It
will wash, unlike many of the statements
of his friends the sugar trust, and has been
tested to a remarkable degree. So says Mr.
Spreckels.
Mr. Sprockets, besides commanding world
wide admiration for his gigantic operations
is ulso secretive, and tnis wonderful dis
covery only leaked out through that happy
teeiing engendered by a hearty dinner,
congenial fellowship and bracing sea air,
for it was told in mid-ocean, where the
salty breez.-s could not take it up and waft
it to the four corners of the earth. Never
theless the secret is no longer a secret.
Like most wonderful discoveries it came
out by accident during the course of ex
periments necessitated by the demands of
trade.
THE PRELIMINARY EXPERIMENTS.
For many years Mr. Sprockets was
troubled by the bad condition bis sugar
was in when it reached Central America
and Mexico and the constantly recurring
demand for hard sugar, aud he kept busily
at work trying to perfect a process by
which his loaf sugar could be carried with
out reaching his consignees in the damaged
condition, and at last he reached the solu
tion of the problem, and blocks of sugar
have been going there which you couldn’t
break with an axe; harder than marble,
purer than the finest Italian product and
whiter than any stone ever quarried. But
King Spreckels kept his secret as though it
were buried iu the archives of state or
trusts.
On the voyage over on the Fulda the con
versation turned o tbe question of the
proposed new annex to the white house.
Dr. George O. Glavis, an attorney, of
Washington, D. C., and the sugar king,
who are intimate frieuds, were the center of
a group of interested listeners to a political
dissertation on office-holders and offlee
s- ekers as the points at issue. It was
pointed out that congress never appro
priated enough to complete any structure,
and that it cost like sixty to import marble
to complete any building of the size and
character of the white house. To which
all present agreed, but ono gentleman,
turning to Mr. Spreckels, said jokingly:
“Now, if we could only make it out of
sugar, Mr. Spreckels.”
“It certainly can be done,” said the gol
den state Urutsus, soberly, nodding his head
to emphasize his remark.
"No you don’t mean it?” said the aston
ished group, breathlessly.
“I certainly do,” was Mr. Spreckels’ re
ply, still more mysteriously.
“Tell us about it,” urged the gentleman in
a single breath.
HE TELLS OF HIS DISCOVERY.
The su .ar king thou told t .oin of his dis
covery, expatiated upon the wonders of
the new substitute, told them that he could
make blocks of hardened sugar, as ada
mantine as marble, as pure as alabaster
and as white as the linen in their shirt
fronts, and, moro wonderful than all, so
cheap that in course of time its value
would boas low ns that of brick—“ Phil
adelphia brick, at that.”
lie drew, jokingly, a vivid picture of a
city of such sweetness as never even Baby
lonia’s kings ever dreamed of,and painted the
difference between Philadelphia, the city
of red, and SproeUelsonia, the city of milk
white purity. His listeners were spell
bound. Rarely had such food for ocean
gossip been furnished to ennuied travelers.
Iu wonder tone they discussed the matter
even when they had landed, after exhaust
ing all the possibilities contained in the
wonderful discovery, bade au affectionate
adieu to the sugar magician as he started
for this city, and went home to dream of
palaces of saccharine formation—of beet
root and sugar cane, of fairy tales and
sugar midasos, who turn cities of brick,
stoue and mortar fnto chemical stone.
Enjoying his surprise party, Mr. Spreck
els came to Philadelphia and hied him to
the rocky and other fastnesses which guard
tho \Y issahickon Inn from the Dragon of
the Demon. Tbero a reporter found him
last evening, genial, ruddy and, bettor than
all, communicative. When told the repor
ter’s errand lie said .
“Yes, it’s true. I can make out of sugar
stono harder than the finest marble; it will
wash with soap and water, aud is as white
as driven snow. Yes, and cheap, much,
much cheaper than marble.”
Here Mr. Spreckels recited the story of
the mention of his discovery to his fellow
passengers.
CHEAP HOUSES OF SUGAR,
“1 said also, ‘Why go to the expense of
importing Italian marble and foreign labor
when you can make just as good marblo,
cheaper and better thau the imported arti
cle, grown on American soil, or, rather, of
the products, of American soil, developed
by American workingme i and capital, and
in every way superior?’ That’s what I said.
You can wash it better than marble. 18 ij
cleaner looking, much easier made and
handled.”
“But will it stand the elements—rain,
frost, wind aud sunshine?”
“Now, that I don’t know. I built a toy
house to gratify my fancy. It is made of
blocks of the stuff and is as solid as granite.
I have kept a block of the material in wa
ter for weeks at a time, and it was washed
daily with soap and water, and never
melted or dwindled away. It is wonderful
material. You cannot cut it with a knife,
only a chisel and mallet having any effect
upon it. If it will not do for outside work
it will answer every purpose of interior
work.”
“How largo can you mako the blocks?”
“Oh, almost any size; all I have made
thus far have been good-sized blocks, but
I can make them as big m you want
them.” '
“What is the process?”
“Well; that is, of course, a secret, as I
haven’t patented my machinery ifor the
process yet. It is done, of course, by pres
sure, very powerful pressure, which re
moves the crystals and makes it a solid
white. No, I don’t think it will ho used to
construct the annex to tho white house:
hut if it were, what a sweet place it would
b * for ofiice-seekors and office-holders,” said
he, with a merry twinkle in his eye.
Pr. Glavis is preparing the specifications
with the view of applying for a patent for
the “sugar-marble” for Mr. Spreckels.
THE PARIS CHLOROFORMIST.
The Expert Criminals Who Rob by
Means of Narcotics In Europe.
Pram the St. Louis Qlohe-Democrat.
Tho thieves who make use of narcotics
nre not very numerous, but they should not
t>o confounded with the chloroformists.
They are as different from each othor as
day and mght. The thefts committed with
tho nid of narcotics are the work of indi
viduals Known as “anasthesieuis.” They
seek for persons disposed to drink with the
first one who conies along, and in the great
centers such p .-tple abound.
After having assured kimself that the
tippler has money tho thief puts him to
sleep by causing him to smoke t >bacco
mixed with opium, or bv pouring into his
glass a liquid which produces stupor for a
sufficiently long period to enable him to
commit t .e robbery in perfect security'
The victims are ill for a little while,' but
the sickucss is never mortal. I can not say
the same of those who in their sleep, are
subjected to the inhalation of chloroform
Tiie chloroformists administer with great
skill, either with the aid of a sponge or
that of a handkerchief, that poisonous,
powerful, tenacious and alwavs dangerous
substance, which, given unskillfully, may
prove fate! They are shrewd, adroit and
well posted; they are met with on the rail
way trains, on the stesmb ate and at tbe
hotels Essentially cosmopolitan, they
spend the maj *r part of their existence in
traveling. They talk like guides and are
thoroughly acquainted with the watering
places and -a baths where the aristocracy
and wealth gather.
AN ACCOMPLISHED ROGUE.
The chloroformist is generally an old
baud, having frequented the schools of
medicine, whore he learned the use and
efficacy of narc tics. A man of the world, in
telligent and good eompauy.his conversation
is captivating. Hespeaks several languages
and claims to belong to the nobility. He
has au agreeable presence. An excellent
dancer and somewhat of a musician, young
ladies are delighted with him.
Tnis is the way he operates on a railway
train: Hostations himself in the donotand
watches the purchasers of tickets. Having
chosen as his victim Ihe man with the best
tilled pocketbook, he buys a ticket and gets
into the same compartment. In his travel
ing bag he carries a re-erve of provisions,
go and wine, extra cigars, playing cards and
everything such as au experienced traveler
would have.
He adroitly engages his victim in conver
sati n, speaks of tne inconvenience of rail
way station restsura t, the crowd, the
long wait to ba served and the small time
allowed to passengers, in a winning man
ner he then offer , to share his bill of faro
with his companion. A friend was going
with him to Switzerland, but at the last
moment wired him that he could not go.
and that is why he is so amply provided
with provisions. If necessary he shows tho
dispatch. Should the victim refuse to par
take he proceeds with his repast aud after
ward offers him cigars, prepared as was
his wine. They chnt, time flies and the
monotonous noise of the train, added to
the cigar smoke, plunges the victim into a
torpor which he can not conquer, and by
which he is finally overcome.
The chioroformist then opens his vial and
places it for sevoral seconds beneath the
sleeper’s nostrils. At the same time he
gently puts over the mouth a sheet of very
fine parchment to prevent the breathing
of the external air. This parchment is called
the “stiflers.” It is shaped like tho lower
part of the carnival mask. The man is in
a sound sleep, almost a c ;rpse —the chlore -
form vapor has done its work. Then the
thief leisurely rifles the victim’s pocket
book, taking care to leave one or two bank
notes in if, after which he restores it to ihe
owner’s pocket. He does not appropriate
any of the sleeper’s jewelry. The robbery
committed, the thief quits the train at the
next station. Two reasons actuate the
chloroformist in not absolutely depriving
his victim of money. H iving en >ugh left
to pay his expenses, the latter is iti less
haste to make his complaint. The second
reason is that, should the man die under
the influence of tho chloroform, being in
possession of his jewelry aud money, his
death would be attributed to natural causes,
and the authorities will not suspect that a
crime has been committed.
On a steamboat tbe chloroformist brings
all his artifices into play. Ho usually
claims to be a physician, and forms the
acauaintance of some rich family whose
sufferings from seasickness lie adroitly
relieves. This gives him standing and
enable; him to select his victim, generally
a wealthy American merchant or planter.
On disembarking he follows up the Ameri
can and becomes his friend. The robbery
ordinarily takes place in a private room or a
cafe. while tho coffee is being drunk,
after the repast, the chloroformist draws
the attention of his victim to some lady
who is passing in tho street and quietly
pours the pernicious liquid into his cup.
He then relieves his pocketbo: k of tho major
portion of its contents and leaves the cafe.
Uf course nothing is more natural than for
a man to fall asleep after a hearty meal.
A ROBBERY IN A HOTEL.
Asa last example, I will show how the
chloroformist operates iu a hotel. The
treasurer of a commercial establishment in
Bordeaux was accustomed to come fre
quently to Pari* with large sums of money.
Ha always stopped at the same hotel, one of
the largest and bust. Three months ago he
arrived at the hotel with 50,000 francs,
which, as he required the money very early
next morning, he failed to have locked up
in the cashier’s safa At 9 o’clock in tho
evening he went to bed, first making sure
that the bank notes were in a sealed en
velope in the pocket of his coat. It was his
habit to wake at 4 o’clock in the morning,
but at 9 o’clook he was yet asleep. When
ho finally opened his eyes he had the con
fused sensation of having seen and heard
strange things during his sleep.
His first thought was that he had been
robbed, and a hurried examination estab
lished the fact. His watch arid pertemonnaie
were untouched, but the envelope had beori
rifled, and an old copy of the Figaro sup
plied the place of the stolen funds. He
made his declaration to the commissary of
police, but while making it could with diffi
culty keep awake. His look was vague aud his
head heavy. He explained that on awaken
ing he had felt a sharp pain in his upper
jaw and a tickling sensation in his nose.
The proprietor of the hotel and his people
were above suspicion, and it was soon es
tablished that the robbery had been the
work of a chloroformist, who had ma le his
way into the victim’s chamber by means of
a stolen master key.
I have often noticed with regret that the
authorities aud the police do not pay suf
ficient attention to the small empty vials
so frequently found in the pockets of ar
rested malefactors. The chloroformist is a
constant source of danger, especially for
travelers and wealthy foreigners, and the
worst feature of the matter is that he is
but rarely detected and punished.
CUTICURA REMEIDES,
Not a Pimple on Him Now
Bad With Eczema. Hair all gone. Scalp
covered with eruptions. Thought his
hair would never grow. Cured by
Cuticura Kemedies. Hair splendid
and not a pimple on him.
I cannot say enough in praise of the Cuticura
Remedies. My boy, when one year of age was
so bad with eczema that he lost all of his hair
His scalp w as covered with eruptions, which die
doctors said was scald head, and that liis hair
would never grow again. Despairing of a cure
from physicians, 1 began the use of the Cm -
Cuba Remedies, aud, I am happy to say, with
the most perfect success. His hair is now splen
did, an t there is not a pimple on him. 1 recom
mend the Cuticura Remedies to mothers as the
most speedy, economical and sure cure for all
skin diseases of infants and children, and feel
that every mother who lias an afflicted child
will thank me for so doing.
Mrs. M. E. WOODSUM, Norway, Me,
A Fever Sore Eight Years Cured.
I must extend to you the thanks of one of my
customers, who has been cured by using the
Cuticura Remedies of an old sore caused by a
long spell of sickness or fever eight years ago
He was so bad he was fearful he would have to
have his leg amputated, but is happy to say he
is now entirely well—sound as a dollar. He re
quests me to use his name, which is H. 11. Cason
merchant of this place.
JOHN V. MINOR, Druggist, Gainsboro, Tenn.
Severe Scalp Disease Cured.
A few weeks ago my wife suffered very much
from a cutaneous disease of the scalp, and re
ceived no relief from the various remedies she
used until she tried Cutiuuba. The disease
promptly yielded to this treatment, and m a
short while she was entirely well. There has
lieen no return of the disease, and Cuticura
ranks No. 1 in our estimation for diseases of the
skin. Rev. J. PRESSLEY BARRETT, D.D.,
Raleigh, N.’c.
Cuticura Kemedies
Are a positive cure for every form of skin, scalp
and blood disease with loss of hair, from pim
ples to scrofula, except possibly ichthyosis.
