tramps caught in a wreck.
Three Killed, Two Fatally Injured,
and a Sixth Not Expected to Live.
C hillicothe, 0., June 26.—A bist wreck
occurred on the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern at Walnut Creek this af
ternoon, in which three men were killed,
two fatally injured and one so badly hurt
it is not thought ho can recover. The
men were all tramps who were stealing
a ride. There were eleven altogether,
but five had narrow escapes and
two only saved their lives by jumping
down a trestle fifty feet high. The acci
dent occurred at 8 o’elock this afternoon,
ten miles east of here. A freight train
with twenty-five cars, and in charge of
Cos., due tor Murphy and Knginoer Wash
burn. was coining this way. and while
crossing the high trestle at Walnut creek
the train broke in two aud came together
again with a terrible crash. Two of
the cars reared on end for a moment and
then went over the trestle and fell . r >o feet
tielow. One car contained two tramps
who jumped, and remarkable to say. they
escaped with a few scratches. In the
second car ahead of this one was another
containing six more tramps and it went
over also.
WHIRLED OVER AND OVER.
The cars whirled over andover,and final
ly struck the rocky bottom, burying their
ill-fated occupants in the wreck. The
front part of the train had come to a stop
by this time, and the trainmen, with the
assisiance of the three tramps who had
escaped, succeeded in getting the four in
jured men out of the dehris. The
other two men were already dead. One
of the dead was identified as John Snell
of Toledo. Those injured were William
Mclntyre of Pittsburg, Walter Jackson
of Baltimore, and John Bee, colored, of
Savannah. Mclntyre’s whole face is
crushed in and he cannot live. Jackson
liad a bad fracture of the skull and Bee
lias a fractured jaw and fatal internal in
juries.
The two who escaped by jumping dis
appeared after tlie train had reached here
and their names could not be ascertained.
The names of the two instantly killed are
unknown.
Six cars were broken into kindling
wood and the loss is heavy. No train
men were injured.
A NEW SOURCE OF WEALTH.
Florida Streams "y ield a Valuable
Fertilizer.
Orlando, Fla., June 24.—At the last
session of the Florida legislature. Geo. B.
Dickerson secured a charter authorizing
him and his associates to mine the sub
merged muck in the St. Johns river from
the head of the stream to tho mouth of
Bake George, and in all of the tributaries
putting in to the river for the samo dis
tancc as far uu as six miles from their
confluence with the St. Johns. It has
been found that this muck, or deposit,
was more valuable than the average
muck beds of the state, and as a humus
applied to the soils of Florida increased
their productions.
Recently Mr. Dickerson, under the
authority of his charter has organized the
Fast and South Florida muck Mining and
Improvement Company, with J.
M. Whitner, of Sanford, as president.
This company has within the past three
days closed a contract with the Florida
Dredging Company to put in the neces
sary machinery for mining the muck,
drying and pulverizing it and preparing it
for market. Under the terms of this
contract preparations for active work are
to begin at once. The first plant will be
erected on Bake Jesup, in this (Orange)
county. The magnitude of the work con
templated is great, and its importance to
the agricultural interests of Florida is
looked forward to hopefully.
The war of words between Majs.
Abrams and Marks, respectively state
senators from Lake and Orange counties,
goes on. The charges and counter charges
are growing warmer and more interesting,
and tho personal character of the con
troversy is becoming more bitter.

CAN’T A DOG THINK P
Jeff Seemed to Do So in That Little
Bone Transaction.
From the New York Recorder.
I was visiting a friend near Baton
Rouge, Ba., who was the owner of a big
tawny-colored Newfoundland, that dur
ing the day was usually chained to his
kennel, about a rod from the comfortable,
shady veranda.
Our nearest neighbor, my friend’s
brother, who lived at some distance,
owned two dogs that were almost insep
arable companions. Jeff, the smaller, was
a little, active, and ambitious busybody,
about the color of the canebrake, and was
always up to mischief except when hunt
ing ’possum or coon. There he meant
business from tho start, and could tree
more coons and unearth more ’possums
than any dog of his inches in that part of
the country; and I have known him to
pick up tho trail of a wildcat when a full
pack of hounds were at fault. I have
known Jeff at night, when not in the hu
mor. and dragged from under the pore'll
and forced into a coon hunt, to start oft
down the lane and into tho woods with
apparent eagerness and disappear in the
shadows.
In about fifteen minutes, half a mile
away, we would hear Jeff's peculiar
bark. “Come on, boys, he's got him!”
Then a run in the direction of the sound
through bog, clumps of cane, over logs
and under the overhanging moss. “Whah
be you, Jeff!” Not a sound. Suddenly
from another direction, but still further
in tho wood, would come Jeff’s weil
known bark. “Come on, boys; he’s
a-runniu’ him!” Then another chase;
then another halt; then Jeff's cry still
farther off, saying as plainly as a dog
could speak: “Hurry up; he's a big one,
and 1 can't hold him!”
Away again we go, as eagerly as If we
were hunted instead of hunters. Finally,
after two hours of hard running, wo
woald pitch up at the starting point, and
Jeff's last triumphant bark would come
from under the porch.
Jeff’s companion was a little, under
sized half-breed Dalmatian that no
amount of feeding would fatten, except
in the middle, and after gorging himself
he looked like a snake that had swallowed
a rabbit. “Willie,” as he was called, was
always hungry ana always thirsty, and
food and drink only made him leaner. He
seemed to have implicit confidence in
Jeff-a confidence that was often be
trayed; and once in particular, which
brings ine to a consideration of the head
ing of this article, “Does a Dog Think!”
One warm bunday, late in tho spring,
we were seated on the veranda, Bob, the
Newfoundland, was chained to his kennel
as usual, and waiting forhisdftiner, when
Jeff, unaccompanied by Willie, came over
on a visit.
The cook had just thrown a big bone to
Bob, which Jeff eyed in a half apologetic
manner, and marched up to take pot luck.
But the fierce growl and long, white teeth
of Bob kept him at a hungry distance.
Jeff made several vain attempts to share
Bob’s dinner, then shook his head sadly
and started for home. '‘There,” said my
friend, “that's the first time I ever saw
Jeff give up without a fight.”
We had forgotten the incident, and Bob
had settled down to enjoy his bone, when
we hoard Jeff 's bark, followed by Willie's
long-drajvn, plaintive howl. Presently
both dogs came wriggling through the
fence, and took up their station just out
of Bob's reach. Willie looking imploringly
aud Jeff in tho attitude of a dog that's
been ovened. Then Jeff looked at Willie
as if he would say, “That's the tastiest
bone I ever gorged myself with.”
"It looks dainty,” says Willie; “Bob
has had enough, i’ll just take it, and he
won’t make a glutton of himself.” With
this the poor little half-witted animal
walked up to take the bone. Bob seized
him by the back of tho neck and started
to shake him in the most approved fash
ion. As he did so, Jeff made a dash,
grabbed the bone, and bofore 800 could
let go of Willie and realize what was go
ing on, Jeff was under the veranda, just
out of reach, contentedly gnawing the
bone. Did Jeff think!
THE NEGRO AT THE NORTH.
The City Marshal of Champaign, 111.,
Beat One to Death.
From the Chicago Record.
Champaign. 111., June 21.—The trial of
Thomas Kent, city marshal of this city,
was begun this afternoon. The marshal
is alleged to have brutally beaten with
a mule whip a negro, whose death a few
days afterward was attributed to small
pox. It is now alleged that his death
was due to the injuries caused by the
whipping.
State's Attorney Smyers caused a sen
sational surprise this afternoon when the
case opened by changing the charge from
assault and battery to murder. A great
many witnesses will testify, only those of
the prosecution being examined to-day.
Just what Kent intends to show in liisde
fense is not known, but it will take some
strong evidence to overcome the case as
made by the prosecution. The case will
continue to-morrow.
A Unique Catch With a Fly.
From the Prattsvllle (N. Y.i Advocate.
Ex-Judge F. J. Fitch returned from his
two weeks’ fishing trip on the Neversink,
In Sullivan county, on Thursday evening
last In answer to our question, "What
success in fishing?” be replied: "Poor, in
consequence ol' tho cold weather and ex
cessive rains. 1 caught hut 121 trout and
one red squirrel.” Other questions led to
the statement by him that, while casting
his Hies at the end of about forty feet of
line, he saw a squirrel swimming across
the stream, and, from the impulse of the
moment, made a cast for it and drove the
hook of the trail fly through one of its
fore-iegs. As it was impossible to reel in
the game and take it from the hook with
out being bitten, he was compelled, much
to his regret, to drown it. He has its tail
in corroboration of a queer fish story and
and evidence of his accuracy in fly cast
ing He also stated that this was the
fiftieth lonsoeutive year in which he had
fished for trout, and that his scores of all
those years, beginning with July, 184.>,
showed that he had caught in the aggre
gate 28.47s trout. He added that all,
save In the first five years, bad been
caught with any.
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JUNE 25, ISO 4.
END OF THE TARIFF FIGHT.
A Belief That the Senate Will Pass
the Bill This Week.
The Republicans to Pursue Their
Obstructive Tactics to the East--An
Attempt to Be Made In the House to
Pass the Bill Granting Statehood to
New Mexico—The Proposed Right to
Tax Greenbacks.
Washington. June 24.—Party leaders on
both sides of the chamber are agreed that
this week will see the tariff bill out of the
Senate. As to the precise date there is a
divergence of opinion. Senators Harris
and Jones expect to see the final voto
taken not later than Tuesday evening.
Senator Aldrich, on the republican side,
says it may be taken then, but it will
more likely be Thursday. Senator Alli
son says the vote may bo taken Thurs
day, but he hardly thinks it will be
reached before Saturday.
The republicans, it should be under
stood, have not abandoned their intention
of fully debating certain propositions
found in the bill, such as the sugar sched
ule, its alleged connection with tho trust
aud the investigation now going on;
neither will they overlook the abandon
ment of the reciprocal commercial ar
rangements made under the provisions of
the McKinley act.
LOGIC OF THE ENEMY.
They reason that if the conferees have
made their report and the policy of the
controlling party, as finally a creed upon,
has become known, there will be ample
time to discuss these subjects and discuss
them in the light of printed information
as to what the party in power intends to
ingraft in the law. For that reason thero
will not be much discussion on these sub
jects this week.
It is believed that the income tax part
of the bill will bo concluded to-morrow,
and possibly the internal revenue para
graph. A large number of amendments
are still to be offered to tho income tax.
The attack the republicans intend mak
ing on the increase in the tax on whisky
may, however, prevent these matters
from being disposed of in one day.
IN THE HOUSE.
The absence of Speaker Crisp from the
House last week prevented the committee
on rules, in whose hands are the proposed
destinies of legislation in the House, from
arranging a programme of business for
the coming week. It will not be abso
lutely necessary for them to do anything
in the matter before Tuesday or Wednes
day, for the rules of the House and pend
ing business are sufficient to provide for
these two days.
To-morrow, being the fourth Monday of
the month, is set aside for the considera
tion of business relating to tho local af
fairs of the District of Columbia.
When the House adjourned on Satur
day the general deficiency appropriation
bill for the current year was the unfin
ished business, and the subjects in the
bill undisposed of by tho committee of
the whole—the question of paying nearly
half a million dollars of judgments of the
court of claims on account of Indian depre
dations, and the balance of a year’s sala
ries to the families of three deceased
members, one of whom died as far back
as the 41st congress—promised to require
an ordinary day’s session for their settle
ment. The probabilities seem to be,
therefore, that other general legislation
will not be considered before Wednesday.
STATEHOOD FOR NEW MEXICO.
There are a half dozen measures on
the calendar whose advocates are de
sirious of securing recognition, but the
hill to admit New Mexico as a state of
the union stands the best show for first
place. Delegate Joseph has been urging
this upon the managers in season and out
of season for months, and it haij been de
cided to take it up after the Hatch anti
option bill was out of the way, but that
occupied more time than had been antici
pated and the necessity for getting the
appropriation bill over to the Senate
caused a postponement of the admission
bill.
Another bill that nestles in tho good
graces of the leaders is that introduced
by Representative Cooper of Indiana,
authorizing the states to tax greenbacks
as gold and silver are taxed. The theory
upon which this bill was framed is that
by unscrupulous manipulation of the 800,-
000,000 of greenbacks in circulation, prob
ably ten times that amount of taxable
property is kept off the digest, to the pre
judice of the real property which is not
so nimble and cannot be juggled with.
As an alternative programme there is
Representative Tucker’s joint resolution
proposing an amendment to the constitu
tion so as to provide for the election of
Senators by a direct vote of a the people,
rad the bill reported by the committee
on public buildings and grounds under
direction of tho House for th oerectlon
of a government printing office upon one
of the public reservations now occupied
by the fish commission building. The
committee favors locating the 'building
away from the parks of the district.
SAW MILLS SHUTTING DOWN.
Death of a Child From Poison.
'Abbeville, Ga., June 24.—Owing to the
poor demand for pine lumber, many of
the saw mills in this section are running
on short time, with the prospect of shut
ting down entirely till there is an im
provement in the lumber market.
There was an excursion from Abbe
ville to Queenlnnd (a station on the
Abbeville and Waycross railroad),
twelve miles from Abbeville, last Friday.
The object of it was to sell town lots at
Queenlnnd at auction. S. P. Losseter,
president and receiver of the road, owns
the property. Twenty lots, 50x100 feet,
were sold. Another sale will take place
soon.
Little Annie, the 4-year-old daughter of
W. H. Miller, a machinist of Abbeville,
died at 2 o'clock this morning from
poison, taken yesterday afternoon. The
physicians are unablo to determine what
the poison was, and will probably make a
post-mortem examination.
Copious rains are now visiting this
locality.
MAKING WEDDING RINGS.
Various Processes Through Which
the Gold Passes—Fashion in Stones.
From the Boston Herald.
June, the month of rosesand weddings,
lids revivod an industry that has proba
bly as much as any other, the depres
sion in business. It is that of ring
makingi
No bride who is truly fin de slecle
would ho married without one of these
golden circlets whose circumference
bounds so much joy as well as sorrow.
A Boston Herald roporter went through
a factory where theso magic tokens are
made the other day. It requires a good
deal of labor, and many men and some
women are engaged in it. When money
is so hard to get by the majority of tho
human race, it makes one shiver, even
in these torrid days, to see the bright,
gold coins, often fresh from the mint,
that are chopped in pieces, and, with the
required quantity of alloy, go into the
crucible after careful weighing.
A ting is now generally made about 14
karats tine. In fart, the proportion made
of finer material is only one to a dozen
of the others. The alloy is composed of
copper, silver and oroide.
The advantage of using gold coin is in
tho previous working it has had in the
mint, and the consequent saving in the
melting.
The crucible is a three-cornered cup
made of German clay, and is imported,
DANGERSOFDKESS
llow Men and Women Run Great Risks
During the Summer in tho Way They
At e Clothed.
Few people think at this time of the year of
the great importance of dress.
In the winter people Jre-s warmly because
they know it is a necessity, but in the sum
mer. when it is hot. they go to the other ex
treme and even dress too lightly. Hot weather
causes people to use light clothing; but sud
denly the wlnl changes, the air becomes
chilly, and a cold is pretty certain to be the
result.
Now, where most people make a mistake Is
in not guarding against these sudden changes
quickly and in time. Any man or woman who
has on a light suit of clothing, and feels a
change which brings a chill, should at once
counteract the chill. This can only be done
by the use of gome pure stimulant, not
gingers or hot drinks, but a p :re medicinal
whiskey that will refresh the system, cause
thu blood to circulaio, and bring about imme
diate reaction. Tbcr is but one mrdicinal
whiskey that will de this and that Is Duffy's
Pure Malt. It has for twenty years accom
plished what nas never keen known before in
counteracting the tlrst symptoms of sudden
colds and preventing tt.J possibility of pneu
monia. fevers and a ! the distressing com
plaints which follow any cold.
It should be remembered, however, that
Duffy's Pure Malt is the only whiskey which
will certainly accomplish this, and however
much dealers may talk to the contrary, it
alone should be taken.
This material is Used because it will boar
the fierce heat, and becauso none of the
liquid gold will adhere to it.
Whew ! How hot it is, and how hun
grily the flame licks the side of tho ves
sel, as if it wanted to get in and
DEVOUR THE CONTENTS.
In a few minates tne gold has become a
bright fluid, and tho crucible is with
drawn, red in hue, from the intense heat.
The gold will not oe so bright again
until it has atttained its shape and re
ceived its last polishing.
The liquid is puured into an ingot
mould, formed into a small bar, and then
plunged with a hiss into a bath.
it may be handled, for it is thoroughly
cooled, and it is then rolled in a mill be
tween two rollers to muko it of equal
thickness and to press down any little
pores that may remain in it.
Then it goes back to tho furnace, into
the part called the annealer, and is again
subjected to a fierce and raging heat to
make it soft before working.
From the cold bath that follows it
emerges as black as iron, rough and bont,
and like that baser metal, is hammered
into shape on an anvil. After this It is
rolled again, and if the plain, thick band
with routtd edges, which is the common
wedding ring, is desired, it is left of an
equal thickness, and thou cut in strips
the required length.
These are soldered together and shaped
on a spinning lathe. But for other rings,
which are to carry stones, the bar is
deftly shaped, thicker in the center than
on the edges. This piece of metal goes
under the cutter, is cut just the right
shape, wide in the center and tapering to
wards the ends.
It is still black and rough, and not a
bit like the gold eagles one saw a short
time before. But
SEVERE TREATMENT
awaits theso strips They are put under
a heavy weight of fifty pounds, and
pounded severely. The implement used is
| called a drop, and its frame rests on a
large stone, which, in turn, is on a rub
ber pad. Beneath the floor runs a heavy
truss from wall to wall, as the ordinary
beams would not bear the pressure.
The man pulls the heavy weight up and
down, striking the gold which is on the
bench beneath. From beneath this weight
it comes out shaped like a ring when flat
tened out, with tho oval in trio middle
where tho stone is to be placed.
Another man at a bench covered with
tools takes one of these rough strips, files
it, brings the ends together uud solders
them.
The ring is now less rough, but still
dingy. With a drill this man makes a
hole in tho center of the oval for the
stone, and, when this is done, begins
with a vqry fine and deiieate saw to cut
out the claws. This is rather a nice oper
ation, as they must bo aliko in size and
shape. But the saw eats Into the gold
voraciously, and it looks as if cutting It
was the easiest thing in the world.
The bits of gold tty in every direction,
but nobody heeds this, for there are piles
of ring, studs and ear-rings to be cut,
while the wedding-rings of plain gold
looked, when massed together, to be suf
ficient to fetter all the brides for yours to
como.
After theso daws aro made a novice
would wonder how the dirty, brassy
looking ring was going to be transformed
into the prett*' little carrier of the spark
ling diamond, the chaste pearl or the
glowing rub.y.
But then it goes into the hands of the
polishers, it takes three people to do
this part of the work, but the wheels cov
ered with rubber revolve rapidly and do
it quickly.
The dark material becomes brighter
and brighter, until, under the last wheels
covered with soft cotton, it looks brilliant
and shining.
A WHOLE HANDFUL OF KINGS.
Fashion has her caprice in tho matter
of rings as in everything else. The Mar
quise ring, which has been so long on the
topmost wave, is on the wane, and the
princesse is dictated by fashion’s nod as
the desirable shape. This is roundod in
stead of sharply pointed, like the erst
while favorite. The ladies’ belcher ring,
the one whose manufacture has just been
described, is always used for small and
medium-sized stones. For large stones
the rings aro not drilled out from the
solid piece, hut the claws are cut from a
strip and look like a small comb. These
are cut off the right length and attached
to the rest of tho narrow strip that
makes tho ring. They como in various
patterns. There arc moro than ]oostylos.
When the ring business is flourishing
gold eagk’s to the amount of SIOO to S3OO
are used daily. The alloy in theso coins
is mostly copper. Formerly silver was
used, but the coins did not wear so well.
The propietor of tho factory, who has
been patiently showing the Boston Her
ald reporter Just how rings aro made,
says that Just now a good part of his
profits are found in tho dirt. "In the
dirt! Of course that is meantfor a Joke.”
Then he explains. In the cutting and
drilling tiny chips of gold Hy everywhere.
These are carefully swept up with the
rest of the dirt in the rooms, put in a bar
rel and sent to Providence to tho refiners.
Here they arc burnod slowly, And in
the ashes is found the gold. A barrel
packed full of the waste and dirt on the
floor yields about $175 worth of the prec
ious metal.
The aprons with which the men cover
their clothes aro washed weekly, the
water allowed to settle, and tho dregs go
to the refiner, as well as that which col
lects in the bottom of the sinks where the
rings take their final bath.
The oil wnsto is also saved. In fact,
almost every part of the room where this
work goes on contains some of the valua
ble dust
Sometimes small diamonds are lost for
months, to be recovered, perhaps, by ac
cident.
A manufacturer, who has been nearly
twenty-five years iu one room, proposes
to pull up the floor, which Is quite badly
worn. Every particle of wood and dust
will be saved, sent to the refiners, and he
hopes the result will pay for anew floor.

MR. POWERS’ SUCCESSOR.
Two Savannahians Being Urged for
the Place.
Maj. G. A. Whitehead's friends In Sa
vannah are very anxious to hear some
definite information from Atlanta as to
his chances of appointment by the gov
ernor to the place on the railroad com
mission, made vacant last week by the
death of Hon. Virgil Powers. Maj.
Whitehead’s appointment would afford
great satisfaction to his many friends
here.
There is another, welljkrioivn Savan
nahian who is being spoken of for tho
vacancy and whose appointment would
give a great deal of satisfaction here.
This is Mr. W. W. Starr, for several
years superintendent of the main stem of
the Central Mr. Starr is known
all over the state as u practical railroad
man who knows the business from the
gfound up. The law requires that the
railroad commission shall be composed of
three men, one a lay wer, .one a business
and one a railroad man. It is the latter
place which is not vacant. Those who
know Mr. Starr's sentiments know that
the railroad interests > wonld be well cared
for in his hands. It would be a fortunate
thing for Savannah for the new commis
sioner to be a man well acquainted with
her pecu'lar situation in railroud affairs,
and who by reason of such
knowledge would be able to ’ a
certain extent to thwart unfriendly
moves by the railroad interests.
It would be a piece of rare good luck for
Savannah to have one of her citizens a
menibor of the railroad commission at
this critical juncture.
First Dude—Going to see tho animals,
deah boy! Second Dude—No. deah boy;
can’t stand tho effect on mo nerves. Just
Imagine what the king of beasts must
suffer, poor brute! when the trainer puts
his head in his mouth if 110 doesn’t hap
pen to like bair oil.—Judge.
The Comtesse de Paris, like her son In law,
the King of Portugal, Is passionately fond of
bull fighting, and, like him. too. frequently
descends into the arena and tackles tho bull
herself. She lias had more than ouo horse
disemboweled under her in the great wooden
arena, which she has had constructed at a
short distance from her villa.
