_ Lady Outraged and
Into Insensibility.
Atlanta, Aug. 7.—A negro brutally
assaulted and nearly murdered Miss Ida
Enzer, at Mclvers’ station, on the Wes
tern and Atlantic railroad, about 10
miles from the city, late last afternoon.
Tiie young lady was returning home
after a visit to friends and was met in a
lonely place on a public road by tbe ne
gro. He beat her almost into insensi
bility and left her for dead.
She was barely able to reach home
and tell the story of the crime.
The affair caused the greatest excite
ment. Messages were sent to Atlanta
for bloodhounds. After considerable
delay a pack of dogs was secured and
put ou the trail.
Miss Enzer is the 20-year-old daugh
ter of Taylor Enzer. a farm' * who is
highly esteemed by the peojT
Ivors and the adjacent towns.

NEGRO CHASED BY WILD HOG
He Took Refuge In a Tree Where He
Remained Until Rescued.
Fort Valley, Ga., Aug. 8.—A. G.
McCrary had a lively experience
with a wild hog in a swamp ou his
plantation near this place. The animal
was making a meal off the young corn
when sighted and showed light, but re
tired reluctantly into the swamp as the
overseer and hands made for the house
for guns and dogs. One negro remained
behind and in the absence of the rest
pursued the sow aud litter. When she
uad gained her native heath she turned
upon her pursuer and in a most fero
cious manner charged upon him. He
fled aud took refuge in a tree. The
foaming beast took up her patrol about
the base and watched for more than au
hour when rescue came. After a ter
rific fight she was cornered aud confined
in a stout pen built arouud her.
AUGUSTA ENTERS PROTEST.
Council Discusses the Insurance Rates.
Improvements Demanded.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 7. — The city
council held a heated discussion over
Augusta’s insurance rates, during which
Councilman Thomas Barrett, Jr., flung
defiance at the Southeastern Tariff asso
ciation, saying:
“I think it is time Augusta was show
ing her teeth.”
During the discussion the fact was
disclosed that Augusta’s rates are higher
than Atlanta’s, Macon’s or Savannah’s.
The estimated cost of improvements of
Augusta’s water mains, which the tariff
association says is necessary to be made
in order to reduce rates, is $36,030. The
matter was referred to council commit
tee for prompt action.
COLUMBUS STRIKE SPREADS.
Uriekmasons Out—Painters and Plas
terers May Become Involved.
Columbus, Ga., Aug. 2.—Columbus’
tabor troubles among the building trades
ire spreading. Some of the brickma-
.~ons have walked out and the rest will
follow. The plasterers will probably go
out ou a sympathetic strike with the
carpenters. It is possible that the paint-
rs may become involved in the course
of a few days.
It is stated that the other local unions
•vere helping the carpenters. The com
mittee of citizens who are trying to set
tle the strike held another meeting and
listened to the contractors’ side of the
of the question. A 9-hour day has gone
into effect with the painters. They re

then turned to the door and went in
side, greeting the ancient shopman,
whom he knew so well.
“1 want to look at tbe hourglass you
have in the window,” he said.
“Ah. yes.” replied the curiosity deal
er. “the cheap watch has driven the
hourglass out of the commercial mar
ket. and we rarely pick up a thing like
that nowadays.”
He took tin? hourglass from the shelf
in the window, reversed it and placed
it on a table. The ruddy sand began
to pour through into the lower recepta
cle in a thin, constant stream, as if it
were blood that bad been dried and
powdered. Eastford watched the ever
increasing heap at the bottom, rising
conically, changing its shape every mo
ment as little avalanches of the sand
fell away from its heightening sides.
“There is no need for you to extol its
antiquity,” said Eastford, with a smile.
“I knew the moment I looked at it that
such glasses are rare, and you are not

ERTRAM EASTFORD had in
tended to pass the shop of his
old friend, the curiosity deal
er, into whose pocket so much
of his money had gone for
trinkets gathered from all
quarters of the globe. He knew it was
weakness on his part to select that
street when he might have taken an-
going to find me a cheapening cus
tomer.”
“So far from overpraising it.” pro
tested the shopman, “I was about to
call your attention to a defect. It is
useless as a measurer of time.”
“It doesn’t record tbe exact hour,
then?” asked Eastford.
“Well, I suppose the truth is they
were not very particular in the old
days, and time was cot money as it is
now. It measures the hour with great
I
| accuracy, the curio dealer went on,
I “that is, if you watch it: but, strange
ly enough, aftfer it has run for half an
hour or thereabouts, through some de
feet in the neck of the glass or in the
pulverizing of the sand, it stops and
will not go again unless the glass is
shaken.”
The hourglass at that moment veri
fied what tlie old man said. The tiny
stream of sand suddenly ceased, but
went on again the moment its owner
jarred tbe frame and continued Dour

To Contest the Will.
Washington, Ga., Aug. 3.—The will
of the late Milton P. Reese will be con
tested by his only child, Mrs. Oliver M.
Smith. This instrument was filed with
the ordinary shortly after the death of
Sir. Reese, which occurred about two
.veeks ago. He bequeaths everything to
his sister, Mrs. Sallie Reese Dillard, and
appoints her executrix of the estate and
declares that she is to make no answer
to any one after the entire estate is dis
posed of.
Insurance Rates Increased.
Augusta, Ga., Ang. 2.—The insur
ance rates for Augusta have been revised
by the Southeastern Tariff association
and the new schedule has gone into
effect. It is estimated that the increase
in rates, while not uniform, will avera
15 per cent. Excessive fire losses dur
ing the past year and alleged insuffi
ciency of fire apparatus and water sup
ply, are charged as justification for the
increase.
Work ou the Extension Delayed.
Waycross, Ga., Aug. 7.—The work
of extending the Waycross Air Line to
Fitzgerald has been retarded on aocount
of the difficulty in procuring laborers.
It is thought that trains will be running
between Waycross aud Fitzgerald by
the middle of November.
v'tsfior tmnserr stood another problem.
He was a youug man in military cos
tume, his uniform being that of an of
ficer. Eastford remembered seeing
something like it on the stage and,
knowing little of military affairs,
thought perhaps the costume of the
visitor before him indicated an officer
in the Napoleonic war.
“Good evening,” said the incomer.
“Maj - 1 introduce myself? I am Lieu
tenant Sentore of the regular army.”
“You are very welcome,” returned
his host. “Will you be seated?”
“Thank you, no. I have come for
my hourglass, if you will be good
enough to let me have it.”
“Your hourglass?” ejeculated East
ford in surprise. “I think you labor
under a misapprehension. Tbe glass
belongs to me. I bought it today at
the old curiosity shop in Finchmore
street.”
“I admit that technically rightful
possession of the glass rests with you;
but, taking you to be a gentleman, I
venture to believe that a mere state
ment of my priority of claim will ap
peal to you even though it might have
uo effect on the minds of a jury of our
countrymen.”
“You mean to say that the glass has
been stolen from you and has been
sold?”
“It has been sold undoubtedly over
and over again, but never stolen, so
far as I have been able to trace its his
tory.”
“If, then, tlie glass has been honestly
purchased by its different owners, 1
fail to see how you can possibly estab
lish any claim to it.”
“I have already admitted that my
claim is moral rather than legal,” con
tinued the visitor. “It is a long story.
Have I your permission to tell it?”
“I shall be delighted to listen,” re
plied Eastford, “but before doing so I
beg to renew my invitation and ash
you tQ occupy this easy chair before
the fire.”
The officer bowed in silence, crossed
tbe room behind Eastford and sat
down in the armchair, placing his
sword across his knees. The stranger
spread his hands before the fire and
seemed to enjoy the comforting
warmth. He remained for a few mo
ments buried in deep reflection, quite
ignoring the presence of his host, who,
glancing upon the hourglass in dispute
upon his knees, seeing that the sands
had all run out. silently reversed it and
set them running again. This action
caught the corner of the stranger’s eye
and brought him to a realization' of
why he was there. Drawing a heavy
sigh, he began his story:
In the year 170G 1 held the post of
lieutenant in that part of the British
army commanded by General Trelaw-
ny. the supreme command being of
course in the hands of the great Marl
borough.”
Eastford listened to this announce
ment with the idea that there was
something absurd about the statement.
The man sitting there was calmly talk-
of a time 192 years past, aud yet he
himself could not be a day more than
years old. Somewhere entangled in
this were tlie elements of absurdity.
Eastford found himself unable to un
ravel them, but the more he thought of
the matter the more reasonable it be
gan to appear.
“That was during the war of the
Spanish succession?!’

would not enter, having, as he assured
himself, the strength of mind to forego
this temptation. However, he reckon
ed without his window, for in it there
was an old object newly displayed
which caught his attention as effectual
ly as a half driven nail arrests the hem

window stood an hourglass, its frame

“That is very singular,” said East-
ford. "How do you account for it?”
“I imagine it is caused by some in
equality in tlie grains of sand. Proba
bly a few atoms larger than the others
come together at the neck and so stop
the percolation. It always does it, and
of course I cannot remedy the matter
because the glass is hermetically seal
ed.”
The dealer named his price, and
Eastford paid the amount asked.
That night iu his room Bertram East
ford wrote busily until a late hour.
When his work was concluded, he
pushed away his manuscript with a
sigh of that deep contentment which
comes to a man who has not wasted
his day. He placed the ancient hour
glass on his table, watching the thin
stream of sand which his action had
set running. The constant, unceasing,
steady downfall seemed to hypnotize
him. Its descent was as silent as the
footsteps of time itself. Suddenly it
stopped, as it had done in the shop, and
its abrupt ceasing jarred on his tin
gling nerves like an unexpected break
in the stillness. He could almost imag
ine an unseen hand clasping the thin
cylinder of the glass and throttling it.
He shook the bygone time measurer
and breathed again more steadily when
the sand resumed its motion. Present
ly he took the glass from the table and
examined it with some attention. He
thought at first its frame was ebony,
but further inspection convinced him it
was oak, blackened with age. On one
round end was carved rudely two
hearts overlapping and twined about
them a pair of serpents.
“Now. I wonder what that’s for?”
murmured Eastford to himself. “An
attempt at a coat of arms perhaps.”
There was no clew to the meaning of
the hieroglvphics, and Eastford, with
the glass balanced on his knee, watch
ed the sand still running, the crimson
threads sparkling in the lamplight He
fancied he saw distorted reflections of
faces in the convex glass, although his
reason told him they were but carica
tures of his own. The great bell in the
