AHitTVI HOLIDAY HEIOKU.
X Ar(ra Fatally Wounded—A Wo
man Killed i a Runaway.
Augusta, Ga., July cele
bration of the FYjurth of July did not
pass without its crimes and casualties.
The great crowds that were transported
out to Lake View park to witness the
display of Paine's fireworks on the lake
taxed the capacity of the electric car
service to handle them, and the cars
were running until long after midnight
bringing the people home. The cars were
loaded to their utmost and It was with
difficulty that the * conductors could
swing around the length of the cars.
Horace Verdery, who has teen on the
letter carrier force of the Augusta post
office about ten years, makes extra money
on holidays and special occasions by run
ning as conductor on the electric cars.
Last night while thus engaged on the
Summerville line and collecting fares cn
the side step, he was struck by a tree
and knocked from the car helpless and
stunned. He was painfully hurt, and has
been confined to his bed all day, but Is
believed to have escaped serious or per
manent Injury. *
An affair of a serious character was tha
shooting of a negro by a young Caroli
nian, who was among the Fourth of July
excursionists to Augusta. John Prince,
Who lives near Modoc, S. C., was the man
who did the shooting, and J)oc Lewis, a
xell-kown negro, was shot. The day's
programme bad been finished by the Car
olinians, and they were approaching the
union depot to take the last night train,
x hen Prine* and two young companions,
ill under 20 years old, entered McCarthy's
par for a farew ell drink. It is said by the
jarkeeper that the young men drank only
Sarsaparilla-and water and wege not
it all boisterous. There is a screen be
tween the door and the bar, and when the
(oung men had finished their drinks and
tome from behind the screen, two negroes
sere talking between the screen and the
loor. One of these negroes were Dock
Lewis, and though he and young Prince
lad never seen other before, the young
'arolinian had not advanced ten feet
lefore he gave the negro a fatal wound.
The encounter was Wo brief that it is
litficult to detail the occurrence, and two
Itories are told by the witnesses and
tarticlpants. According to the Statement
>f Kdward Rollinson, who was standing
(lose to Lewis, Prince passed Lewis, who
fas leaning on the show case in the
!ront part of the store, and immediately
ifter passing him, turned, and pulling his
listol, fired, the bail entering just over
he left eye, and penetrating the brain,
.•■wls dropped in his tracks. This state
nenr was corroborated by a couple of
iegroes who were also in the front part
f the ba^
According to Prince, when he went to
he front part of the store, Lewis and an
ther negro were having an altercation,
nd in passing them 1 Lewis brushed
gainst Prince, who told him n6t to be
rushing up against him. At this Junc-
Ure, Lewis, according to the testimony of
►rince and the other young man, told
•rince he would cut his damned heart
tit, and stilting his action U> his words,
Shipped oiiT his knife and advanced
■ ward Prince, when Prince pulled out
His revolver and shot Lewis as he was ad
vancing with an open knife. Policeman
■achael states that he picked up a knife
■tiler Lewis as 'he lay on the floor, but
it was closed. The wounded negro
■as carried to the hospital, where his
■ound was declared fatal, and young
was arrested and locked up for t'he
|Hcht. A preliminary investigation before
will probably be held Mon-
fatal casualty occurred about
Sight miles In the country on Dean’s

a steep hill, the iron bolt holding
singletree broke and the singletree
on the horse's’ heels. A runaway
hill followed, and the Wagon
upset in a ditch on the side of t'he

HIS CRIELTY PUNISHED.
Sin James Stuart Haunted to Hi*
Grave b> a Woman.
From the Edinburgh Scotsman.
A correspondent sends for publication
the following story of "Pearttn Jea.i."
taken from a letter written by Lary John
Scott to the late Mr. James Gibson-Craig
in 18*Ss:
Toward the end of the seventeenth cen
tury Sir James Stuart of AUanbank was
traveling In Spain. While he was at Mad
rid hr saw. and fell in love with, a beau
tiful nun. He withdrew her secretly from
the convent and promised her that she
should go with him to Scotland as his
wife, and that he would never forsake
her She used to dress magnificently, and
from wearing a quantity of the old lace
called "Pearling," he called her his "Pear
lin Jean."
Aftef a time he began to think he
should have an awkward story to tell If
he took her home, and he made up his
mind to get rid Of her by leaving Mad
rid suddenly, without her knowledge.
(They did not inhabit the same house.)
His carriage and horses stood ready at
his door by daydawn, and he was just
getting in, when "Pearlln Jean.” who
had for some reason suspected his treacn
ery, rushed to him and entreated him to
take her with htffi. He pushed her away
w-ithout speaking, and got into the car
riage. In her frantic despair she threw
herself on her knees in front of the
horses to stop them. Sir James called out
to "drive 6n.” They did so. The horses
trampled her under their feet; the wheels
of the carriage went over her; but he,
without even looking back upon her, pro
ceeded on his journey.
It was a dark winter night that he drove
up the avenue of AUanbank. His return
had been sudden, and, as he knew, quite
unexpected by his servants. Therefore
his surprise was great When, on looking
toward the house, he saw that every win
dow was illuminated. As the carriage
stopped, , the great doors were thrown
open, and in a blaze of light "Pearlln
Jean" stood at the top of the steps to
receive him.
From that time she haunted him. As
soon as he lay down in bed -she appeared,
and opening the curtains at the foot of
the bed stood gazing at him. His life be
came a burden to him; he neither ate nor
slept, and he fril away day by day. In
vain his friends tried to persuade him
that his terrors were Imaginary. He al
ways replied, "She Is there:”
He had a picture taken of her in Ma
drid. Some of his friends thought they
would try and cure him of his delusions
by placing this picture on the wall oppo
site his bed, arid opening the curtain se.
crfctly as soot as he had lain down,
hoping that if he declared again he had
seen the ghost they might show him the
picture and laugh him out of his fears.
Two of them hid themselves In his room,
ahd the moment his head was on his pil
low they drew back the curtains at the
foot of the bed. Sir James started up
with terror in his countenance, and ex
cla'nred. “My God! There are two of
them!” and Instantly fell back in a fit.
After this no attempt was made to ex
plain away her appearance, and “Pearlln
Jean" continued to haunt the house of
Allanbank as long as it stood. It was
bought and pulled down by Lady Houston
(Miss Boswell of Blackadder). but whether
“Pearlln Jean" still wanders about the
site of the old house I don't know.
SOCIABILITY' OF BIRDS.
Several Species That Flock To
gether In a Friendly Way.
From the Detroit Free Press.
There are very few species of birds
which are not sociable, although some
give only the slightest evidence of
it. Many there are which are ex
clusive In their nesting habits, but
which meet in common w.th oth
ers of their kind to feed. This
is well illustrated In our common
loon., which rears its young on t’he smaller
lakes and ponds, yet Is frequently seen
in parties of three, four, and even more
on the larger lakes, and that, too, at nest
ing time. One of the old bird* at home
with the eggs, while the other seeks com
pany even at a distance.
Again we have instances of a social feel
ing connected directly with the breeding
season. Many heroes nest together, form
ing rookeries of thousands of birds and
crowding so closely that the limbs often
betid with their weight, I have seen a
heronry contalntng over 200 nests, and
sixteen nests in a single tree. It may bo
that these birds mass together for pro
tection, but there Is nothing to prove that
this is the ease, for the bustle and confu
sion about a larg* heronry is sure to at
tract boys, who climb for the handsome
blue eggs, and unscrupulous gunners who
kill them In great numbers. Moreover,
If numbers secured protection, it would be
reasonable for the smaller birds to nest to
gether in colonies, but this is not the case,
excepting in a few instances, and many
of our smallest species, as the humming
bird, select Isolated quarters.
This propensity for sociability is not
confined to love for species and kindred,
and can be shown to be far removed from
sexual relations, for different species of
birds often flock together. All are famil
iar with the mixed flocks of red-wing and
rusty blackbirds, as the autumnal migra
tion takes place. They assemble in the
tree tops and discus? matters in a high
key, and as two languages are spoken, the
discordance is terrific. Perhaps it may be
said, as these birds are of a color, that
“Birds of a feather flock together,”
but it may readily be shown that even a
difference in size as well as species, may
not prevent sociability and companion
ship. In the fall it is not uncommon to see
three or four species of ducks in one flock,
flying or feeding. Littoral species often
flock together, there being, not rarely,
four distinct kinds irt one small group on
the edge of the lake, and on one occasion,
at a single discharge of the gun, I secur
ed the least, semi-palmated and red-back
ed sandpipers. These birds of similar hab
it in feeding were pleased to travel south
together.
A woodland stroller can often see a
group of birds In a piece of wood, compris
ing the hairy and downy' woodpecker, nut
hatch, chlck-a-dee and brown creeper. Of
similar tastes they find companionship
agreeable, a condition which could not ex
ist between the eagle and the dove.

THE MOUSING NEWS: MONDAY, JULY <i, IS!MS.
RISE AYD F %LL OF THE TIDES.
Attraction of thr Moon Different iu
Parts of the Pacific.
From Knowledge.
The attraction of the moon or of the
sun is equally exercised upon all parts
of a sheet of water of such size as the
Mediterranean, so that scarcely any tide
wave Is raised fhero; but in the Pacific
ocean, which is tte chief cradle of the
tides, the attractions of, say, the moon, is
at any moment - appreciably different In
different parts, and the waters heap them
selves up into a long, low hillock, which
follows the moon from east to west, tra
versing the ooean at vast speed as a
forced long # wave. Two such billows are
formed by the moon In each twenty-four
hours, for when the moon is on Vhe op
posite side of uhe earth the solid globe
Is pulled away from the waters, leaving
them 'heaped up, so that the result Is
much the same as when the moon Is
overhead. The long, low billows which
are formed by the moon's action In the
equatorial regions where the ooean girlies
the earth, travel on as free waves into
the higher latitudes, penetrating every
open sea and channel. These free tide
waves run under the action of the earth's
gravity, almost exactly in the same way
that the solitary wave travels on in
a canal when the motion of the canal
boat has been arrested. Like the solitary
wave formed in the canals the tide wave
is a long wave, for the moon's attraction
being practically equal at the surface and
at the bottom of the sea the motion of
the water particles is the same at the
liottom ami at the surface. The motion
of the water Is mainly a backward and
forward swing, the vertical motion being
very small compared with the horizontal
motion.
The rapidity with which such a wave
travels when left to Itself—or rather to
the force of the earth’s gravity—depends
upon the depth of the channel, because
the deeper the channel the smaller is the
quantity of water which has to be trans
mitted through each, unit of cross sec
tion in order to maintain the hillock upon
the surface. In the deep waters of the
open ocean the hight of the tide billow is
very small—say. from one to three feet.
As the wave approaches the shallowing
slope of the shore the front of the billow
is retarted, while the hinder parts press
on, and the hight of the ws'.e is thereby
Increased. The hight of tne wave is also
increased when it reaches a narrowing
channel in which the billow Is laterally
compressed. Thus the highest tides are
not in open ocean, where the tides are
generated, but in the distant channels,
bays, and Inlets, where the tide wave
penetrates after the moon has left It to
run its course. Once every twelve hours,
as we have seen, the moon raises a billow
and drives or drags it forward as a pulse
of water in the southern oceans, much
as the heart in Its rhythmic beat,
drives the blood pulse into the arteries.
But. whereas the blood pulse runs the
whole length of the artery, and is lost
in the capillaries before the next stroke
of the heart sends out a second pulse,
the tide wave, on the other hand, ha*
not reached the most distant shore when
the next succeeding pulse of water is set
going by the moon. The tide wave of
which the crest may round cape of Good
Hope at noon, travels up the west coast
of Africa and reaches the Azores about
midnight. By this time it is followed by
a second pulse, which is now rounding the
cape.
It Is 4 o'clock in the morning before
the crest of the first wave has reached
the entrance of the English channel,
where the shallower water makes ft trav
el slower. It takes another six hours to
run the length of the channel, reaching
the straights of Dover at 10 am., Where
the tvig<ht of the wave is considerable,
owing, partly, to the narrowing of the
channel. Thus, at Dover the wetter rises
21 feet, and this occurs at Dover about
six 'hours after the wave crest passed
the Land’s End. Now, the next Incoming
tide billow on ‘lts way from the South
ern ocean has not yet got as far as the
Azores, and the water at the entranca
to t'he channel Is at a low level—this be
ing, In fact, the position of the trough
between the two succeeding tide billows.
Therefore, we Ihave the water heaped up
(and pent up, too, for the straits are nar
row) near Dover, the water being low at
the other end of the channel, the action
of the earth’s gravity sets a long wave
traveling back from Dover towards the
Land's End; and tlhis is t'he ebb tide In
the English channel. The time which a
free, long wave takes to travel the length
of the channel being about six hours, the
return wave will at 4 p. m. have emptied
■the channel of nearly as much water as
was sent dn by the tidal billow.
DUBUS’ DRIVE.
The Famous Escape of Gambetta
After His Voyage in a Balloon.
From the New York Sun.
M. Dubus, who was Malre of Epeneuse,
Oise, in 1870, has Just died at Clermont,
aged 72. Who was Dubus? Outside of our
small and respected French colony here,
we may safely say that few of us know.
And yet his name is bound to be recorded
in history and to remain there until the
records of the "Terrible Year" are lost and
forgotten. He was the man who saved
Oambetta from falling into the nands.of
the Prussians during the Franco-German
war.
The story is simple enough, but its very
simplicity serves to teach sound citizens
of every country the priceless va.ue o'
patriotism. On the Sth of, November,
1870, taking advantage of a favorable
wind, Gambetta, accompanied by Spu.ler,
left Paris In a balloon. Intending to reach
Tours. After sailing in. the air at a com
paratively slow rate the balloon drifted
toward the north. The Prussians noticed
it, gave chase, and fired at it furiously.
It was hit several times, but the holes
made in it by the bullets caused only a
slight escape of go*. After some little
time, however, the leaks began to tell,
and the balloon began to descend slowly!
The famous travelers distinctly heard
the hoarse cheers of the enemy, who Im
agined that their long chase was coming
to an end, and that they were about to
congratulate themselves on their capture
But just then all the remaining sand
bags, together with everything that could
be dispensed with in the car, were thrown
out, and once more the air ship pointed
toward the clouds.
The fusilade became more furious but
the bullets were harmless. A slight in
crease in the wind also favored the fugi
tives. The enemy was left behind, but
he was still in hot pursuit. The balloon,
becoming weaker and weaker in buoy
ancy, at last began to descend gradually.
It landed In the woods of Favieres,
eleven kilometers from Clermont. The
Prussians were coming on rapidly The
Maire of Clermont, M. Dubus, who watch
ed the balloon and saw the danger of the
fugitives, hitched up his two strongest
and fast horses to a light wagon, and a
few moments after their landing he was
driving them at full speed on the road
to Montdldler. In that drive he beat the
record and brought Gambetta and Bpullcr
lnto the little town In safety. Of course
the Prussians found the balloon, but no
trace of the men who were In the car.
Such Is the simple story of Dubus’
drive, tor which he received the cross of
the Legion of Hortor and an appointment
to a judgeship in the Canton of Mouy.
Four years ago a monument was erected
to Gambetta near the spot where his bal
loon descended, and the tree In which the
air ship got fastened was named “Gam
betta's Oak.” The owner of the land on
which it stood has lately cut It down, be
cause he did not like to have patriotic
pilgrims and picknickers on his property.
This goes to prove that there are hogs
even in France, but fortunately, they are
among the sans patrle.
—lt is stated that since trees have been
extensively planted in Southern Califor
nia the rainfall of the region has become
much more uniform and favorable to
agriculture. But there are other parts of
the state In which the saw mills are wip
ing out the forests and planting the des
ert in the midst of nature’s bounties,

The Wilmington, N. C„ 1! nger ha*
this story: “Between the f r ninth and

effort time and again to find out what
is the matter—bnt they have given it up
as a bad Job. They have not only net
been able to discover the cause of the
noise, but have been unable to discover
any theory to explan the mystery. It Is
one of the railroad mysteries of the age
anti has been going on Tor twenty years.
During that time the crosslies and rails
have been replaced several times with new
ones, but without effect. Who can explain
the mystery?’’
No longer will bicycles ride free as bag
gage on the Southern railway. In a cir
cular taking effect July I, General Pis-,
senger Agent Turk gives this notice: 1
"Bicycles will be charged for at regular
excess bagage rate on an estimated
weight of fifty pounds each. Two seated
tandems will be taken on tile same condi
tions. on an estimated weight of lUO
pounds; fifty additional pounds for euch
additional seat. The minimum charge on
bicycles will be 25 cents. This charge will
be in addition to and separate from any
charge for excess baggage proper, as bi
cycles will noi be carried as a part of the
regular baggage allowance. Bicycles will
be checked and transported in baggage
cars only when accojnpuiv'd by passen

or passes. Excess baggag tickets will
not be honored for the transportation of
bicycles. Regular storage rule* will ap

The "separate coach" law, requiring
railways to provide separate ears for
white and colored people has been sus
tained in various southern courts, but a
Kentucky court has now declared it un
constitutional, and peremptorilly directed
the jury to find for the plaintiff, who
sued the t)hio Valley railroad for dam
ages for being forced to move from the
car set apart for white people. The Jury
agreed upon a nominal amount for dam
ages, |125, and the Case will go to the
court of appeals.
It would pay the railroads to form a
syndicate for the purpose of inducing peo
ple along their lines to coma to Savan
nah. Regattas, fireworks, balloon ascen
sions, vaudeville performances, etc., oc
casionally, would bring crowds here and
add largely to the receipts for passen
gers. There is no city south of New York
that has as many places of interest to at
tract visitors as Savannah.
Tha prospects are bright for a sharp
rate wqr between thy Southern and' the
Seaboard. It will atari on business'be
tween Baltimore and Norfolk. The
Southern has put on a steamer between
Baltimore and Norfolk to compete with
the old well known Bay Line. Mr. R. C.
Hoffman is president of this line,
and he is also president of the Seaboard
Air Line. He charges the Southern with
a deliberate purpose of attempting to
cripple the Bay Line and the Sealtoard
by entering into this field, which, he
says, cannot be profitable for another line.

LONDON DUDES WITH MONOCLES.
Single Eyeglass Still Popular With
Swell Young Englishmen.
London Letter in New York Press.
It is not necessary to wear a monbcle in
order to be taken for an ass. And right
here has occurred a terrible misunder
standing between the unappreciative gen
eral public and the benign wearer of the
monocle. What can be more honest In
an ass than to carry openly a confession
of asinlnlty? If the sign Is unnecessary,
his frankness is none the lees praise
worthy, while the very fact of his belief
that it is necessary is, moreover, a tri
umphant proof of his asininlty.
Great Britain is the natural home of the
monocle, although not presumably, there
fore, the natural home of asses. Here it
flourishes, and here it will flourish as long
as there are asses, the stock of whifch at
present shows no sign of diminishing.
In America the monocle Is regarded as
something of a myth. Occasionally you
see one dangling from a cord, but, as yet,
for my part, I have never seen an Ameri
can who had the courage to put tils mono
cle on )n public.
And is this only another sign of Ameri
can inferiority, of th American tendency
to sharp practice? is it only another
proof of the peculiar properties of the
American atmosphere, which makes Eng
lishmen who have lived in America for a
few years the consternation of their
friends when they return to the mother
country?
The word has gone abroad that the
wearing of the monocle is going out of
fashion In England. It is only right that
another canard and slight on the superior
moral character of the British nation
should be. here a-nd nnw knocked square
ly in the head. On the highest authority,
as a correspondent of the Times would
say, I am able to state that the moral
character of the British nation is in no
danger. An optician toils me that there
is no decrease in the sale of monocles. As
a monocle never wears out, and may be
passed down from generation to genera
tion, it Is evident that whoever started
the unkind rumor was a German. When
I asked the optician what monocles were
made for, he looked at me with as much
surprise as if I had asked whether or not
water would run down hill, and replied:
“For fools.”

Lawyer* Discus* Lynch lugs.
Editor Morning News: I have cnrefully
read your editorial headed as above. In
your Issue of tho 4th Inst. I notice what
you quote as the language of MaJ. Mel
drlm and Mr. Fleming, and I agree with
both gentlemen in what they say, but I go
further than they do, and say that there
Is a sound public sentiment prevailing the
minds of the citizenship of Georgia
against the crime of lynching. The people
everywhere In Georgia ore controlled by
high, noble religious sentiments Incul
cated dally In our churches and schools.
This fact is proven by their utter and
unexpresslble abhorrence of the awful
crimes that lead up to lynchlngs.
Now, this being a fact beyond dispute,
the question arises: Why do they lynch
the parties guilty of those crimes? I un
wer; First, because of the law's delay In
punishing criminals. In most counties
there are but two sessions of one week
each of the superior court. The dockets
are generally crowded and cases are nec
essarily postponed from court to court,
until witnesses get out of the way, and
convictions becomes next to impossible.
When terrible crimes are commttteed,
special sessions of our courts ought to be
called and the perpetrators brought be
fore them and tried at once.
Then, second, lawyers aro very much to
blame for delaying the execution of tho
sentences of the courts on criminals. To
make a reputation as a criminal lawyer
they will, without fee or reward even,
carry cases up to the supreme court ami
endeavor to get new trials for men and
women who ought to have been executed
In forty-eight hours after they were
found gulty by a jury of twelve good men.
Witness Tom Woolfolk’s, Mrs. Noble's,
Gus Famble's and any number of other
like cases, in almost every county In
Georgia, If the lawyer* will let the ver
dicts of conscientious Juries stand and
the righteous sentences of our courts be
promptly executed, thereby lessening the
expenses of our courts, and decreasing
the taxes of our people to run the courts,
I am sure there will be enough religious
and moral sentiment In Georgia society to
let tho law punish criminals Instead of
mobs doing it. Just let It be assured
that whenever a man or woman commits
a helneous crime, he or she will get a
speedy trial, and when convicted our
Georgia lawyers will allow them to be
speedily executed, and I am sure that our
people will allow sentences to be exe
cuted by the sheriff instead of doing It
themselves. I am willing for mistakes to
be corrected, and when there is any
ground for reasonable doubt as to guilt
of the accused, for him or her to get the
benefit by such delay as Is necessary> But
when lawyers, for a small fee, or no fee
at all, but the hope of a reputation as
criminal lawyers, will delay the punish
ment of crime when the evidence is over
whelming, I say lawyers ought not to at
tribute lynching to a want of moral or
religious sentiment on the part of the
people. Citizen.
