Wants a Deduction.
One morning last week we
met old Jonas, colored, and after
passing the current topics of the
day, asked him if he was mar
ried yet.
“No sah; de license am too
high,” was the answer.
“Only one dollar and a half,
lonas, and you may then have a
help-mate, one who will share
vour burden of sorrow and joy
for life.” we continued.

Coal-Burners.
The Savannah, Florida and
Western railway has been try
ing the experiment of coal
burning locomotives during tlie
past week, and find them supe
rior to those using wood. Last
week, one of the passenger train
engines was changed to a coal
burner, and on one trip from
Jacksonville to Savannah gain
ed one hour and twenty min
utes, having left the former
place that much behind time
and arrived at the latter place
according to schedule. It is
not claimed that coal-burners
run faster than wood-burners,
but the}' do not have to stop as
often for fuel and water. One
tender full of coal will run a
train from Jacksonville to Sa
vannah, while only a few stop
pages for water are necessary.
It is understood that six loco
motives, for passenger trains
will be put on as soon as possi
ble, the test having proved sat
isfactory.
FIRE IN RR UN8 WICK.
Shortly after twelve o’clock to
day, the paint shop, a small frame
building dividing the engine room
and machine shop of the Bruns
wick and Western railroad, was
discovered to bo in flames, and
an alarm given. The fire when
discovered had already gained too
uch headway to permit of its,
being extinguished by the work
men, and noticing this fact an ef
fort was made to save the con
tents of the building, but the light
frame building burned so rapidly
and the heat was so intense that it
found iinpossinle to remove
the heavy pieces of machinery, and
only a few light articles of little
or no value .were saved. The
strong wind blowing at that time
made the lire rpread rapidly, and
it was only a short while after it
had been discovered before the
flames enveloped the engine room,
paint shop and machine shop
which adjoined each other. The
fire departments and hook and
ladder company were promptly on
the spot. Mr. Moody, the en
gineer, received a severe gash on
his cheek by being suddenly
thrown against a protruding sec
tion of the engine. He had turned
in his scat while on the way to
the fire, and was adjusting some
thing about the engine, which was
being drawn by the horses at full
speed, and a sudden jolt threw
him violently against a sharp pro
jection, which cut an ugly gash
on the left side of his head and
cheek.
The destruction of the works
will indefinitely throw about one
hundred men out of employment
Sind consequently considerably
effect local trade. We are not
able at this early hour to give the
value of the works, but understand
they are partly covered by insur-
'n New York.—Brunswick

DIED.
Victoria L. Barnes, wife of
Mr. Louis D. Barnes, died on
the 12tli day of January, 188C,
of consumption, at the residence
of tier .father, Mr. D. B. Smith,
in Waycross, Ga. She was born
in Ware county, Ga., on the 10th
day of December, 1851. In
1874 she was married to Mr.
Barnes, with whom she lived
happily. She had no children.
As a wife she evinced those
qualites calculated to make her
an excellent companion, ever
cheerful and happy around the
fireside, and in all circumstan-
stances, whether her home was
such as is calculated to render
her happy or not, she made it
so, by her cheerful presence.
As a neighbor and friend she
was kind and generous to a fault.
As a member of the Methodist
church she was a devoted Chris
tian, ever taking a pleasure in
the discharge of those things
considered by some onerous du
ties, to her they seemed a pleas
ure. During the lengthy period
of her illness, stricken down in
the midst of her usefulness, by
the fatal disease, she was always
cheerful and happy, never giv
ing way to a complaint. She
died without a murmur, and
passed from earth to heaven with
a peacefulness that ever charac
terized her beautiful life. To
her husband, and family and
friends, we tan but ofi^r that
sympathy which is natural.—
They have a liope that^ while
they never may see her more
on earth, they can go to her in
the happy hereafter where there
will be no more parting.
