Hallettsville, "IVx.. Jan. 4.—A
most disastrous wreck occurred one-half a
mile west of this station at 8 o'clock Fri-
day night.
As the local west-bound freight No 12,
in charge of Conductor Ferrier. pulled out
across the Lavaca river trestle bridge at
this iK)int the bridge, which had been
undermined by the heavy rise of the even-
ing, gave way, precipitating the entire
train of twenty-two ears, engine and ca-
lmóse into the swollen stream some twenty-
five feet below.
At present it is impossible to obtain full
particulars.
The following is a list of the casualties
as correctly as can be ascertained at pres-
ent: Conductor Ferrier, rear brakeman
James Lynch, a brakeman of Yoakum,
Tex., a young boy IT years old from Chi-
cago, who was stealing a ride in a box
car, are missing.
Ed Palmer was rescued with a very
severe cut extending front his left eye to
the back of his head.
H. B. Todd, fireman, was Rescued with
an arm and jaw broken.
George I?. Burke Was rescued seven
miles below town, where he had drifted
and lodged in the top of a tree-: his leg
was crushed entirely off below the knee.
It has since been amputated two inches
below the knee.
A stockman and two negroes, names un-
learned, were rescued at 10 o'clock a. m.,
after having remained in a tree ton in mid-
stream a mile below the disaster all night.
The entire train of merchandise is a total
k>ss.
The caboose was found two miles below
town. It will be impossible to get any
particulars in regard to the fate of the
missing men untii the river has run down.
WILL MEET IX GALVESTON.
riie Deep Water Committee are Hard at
Work in tlie Matter.
Galveston, Tex., Jan. 3.—The central
or interstate deep water committee will
meet in this city Saturday.
The local deep water committee will
meet to-day, for the purpose of making
vn>i£.' utufói^ménis' tor~ efctertatofng-'Thé
?entral committee and giving them a thor-
ough inspection of the Galveston harbor,
an opportudity not before afforded a ma-
jority of the committee. Theobject of the
present meeting is to discuss and determine
upon the line of policy to be pursued in
the present canvass before congress and
select delegates to represent the movement
at Washington.
It is the present intention to have the
delegation go direct from Galveston after
the adjournment of the central committee.
Hots To The Front.
Austin, Tex.. Dec. 31.—Gov. Ross hav-
ing received intelligence to the effect th;£
the postmaster at Callisburg, Cooke
county, was driven from his oflice Christ-
mas day by a drunken mob, sent the fol-
lowing telegram to the sheriff of Cooke
county yesterday: "Furnish me with an
official statement of the reported act of
violence on the postmaster at Callisburg
Jf true as stated no direction from me
should be necessary to call forth promptly
your utmost endeavors to arrest the guilty
parties and protect the party injured. If
your means are not adequate to this end
you may call upon the state government
for such assistance as you may need,
which will be promptly furnished."
Gov. Ross received the following dis-
patch from the captain of the local mili-
tary company at Colmesneil on the 2Sth:
"Have just returned from the scene of
trouble. The same is not in our county,
as reported, but in Angelina county.
Everybody in arms. No officers of the
county present Two negroes found mur-
dered. Capt. W. J. Colvin."
The governor has ordered Assistant Ad-
jutant General Seeker to Colmesneil. He
goes thence to the scene of trouble in
Angelina.
Supposed to Have Been Drowned.
Atlanta, Tex., Jan. 2.—Henry John-
son, a boy about 14 years old, while out
hunting Wednesday with his father, J. D.
Johnson, and others of this place, became*
seperated from them in the evening and
since that time has not been heard of.
Crowds of men have searched through the
Sulphur bottoms to-day, where he was
last seen. The supposition is that he is
drowned.
It was in three sections crowded with
passengers.
Of this number was an old man named
J. A. Hopkins, who, with his family, was
enroute from his old home near Fulton,
Miss., to make his fortune in Bell county,
Texas, Temple being the objective railroad
destination.
While waiting in the coach here this
morning a strange old man entered and
took a seat by Mr. Hopkins, introducing
himself as W. II. Howard.
•■Where are you from, Mr. Hopkins?"
said Howard.
"Tennessee," replied Hopkins.
"Where are you bound for?" asked
Howard.
"Temple, Tex.," responiel ilepkins.
"How fortunate to have met you." was
Howard's reply. "I am going to that very
place myself. In fact, it is my home. 1
am a merchant there, and am just return-
ing from purchasing goods at St. Louis. I
am in bad need of S1U0 until I reach home,
and while I will not ask you to trust me
outright, I hope you will take this SoOO
check and hold it as security and let me
have the amount. As you say you are a
farmer, and my business is to supply that
class of men, maybe in the future I can
help you besides. Here comes the local
express agent, who will identify me."
Another man claiming to be the express
agent appeared and identified Howard, and
Hopkins cheerfully handed over the £100.
Hopkins soon "smelled a rat" and with-
out difficulty found he was a victim, but
takes his loss philosophically. He says he
don't mind the loss of the money so much
d having demonstrated to him that he is
an old fool. The cónfideüee riien made
good their retreat;
Killed in a Rüuawáy.
CousiCANA, Tex., Jan. 2.—One James
Dobbins, a worthy Irishman, living three
miles north of the city, left his home to
haul some wood, but returned not at sun-
down, which much alarmed his family,
who, however, waited until morning, when
a search was made for him in the woods,
which resulted in the finding of his body
tightly wedged between the tongue of his
wagon and a young sapling. Justice J. L.
Burgess was notified of the fact and imme-
diately repaired to the scene of the acci-
dent, where he found the body ,in the con-
dition described. The verdict of the coro-
ner was that deceased came to his untimely
end by a runaway team.
Some unknown person a few nights ago
saturated with oil the bridge across Post
Oak creek, near Navarro mills, then ap-
plied a match, which resulted in its com-
plete destruction.
Angelina County Trouble.
HoMeii, Tex., Jan. 2.—There is a great
• deal of exf-vtearem- ¿i«r ^ -pggtte
this county over a siippffsed organization
W^rcd caps." The trouble grew out of a
difficulty between a white man and a negro
several weeks ago, in which the white man
received a wound that was thought to be
fatal at the time. The red caps went to
the house of George T. Arne, colored, on
last Wednesday night and killed him and
his sou, who it was said, had made some
threats that they, the negroes, would carry
into execution in case the whites made any
attempt to capture the negro who inflicted
the wound upon the white man several
weeks a^o. The negroes have become
alarmed and are leaving that portion of
the country. Two men of this place were
in tlie locality above referred to last Sun-
day evening and having some business
with some of the negroes of that section
they were supposed to be friends of the
negroes in their present trouble and were
forced to abandon their wagon and team
and leave the neighborhood.

An Awful Death.
Dallas, Tex., Jan. 2.—News was re-
ceived in the city Wednesday"of a terrible
accident with a fatal termination to little
Fioyd. the 4-year-aid sou of John W.
Sportman, a well-to-do farmer living near
Cochran's chapel, eight miles north of
Dallas, on the Denton road. Full particu-
lars were not to he obtained, hut from
what could be learned it seemed that Mr.
Spartman had heated a kettle of water to
use in staiding hogs, and that the little
fellow was playing around the slaughter-
ing pen and ventured too near tlie boiling
cauldron, when he lost his balauce and fell
in head foremost, literally roasting him
alive.
Railroad Subsidy Raised.
Pottsroro, Tex., Jan. 2.—Wednesday
night there was held at this place ow? of
the largest and most enthusiastic meetings
ever held in Pottsboro. The object of the
meeting was to raise money to pay for a
railroad survey running from Sherman to
Ardmore, and passing through this place.
The meeting was addressed by ex-Post-
master G. E. Reeves, Col. James Potts,
Capt. A. W. Hulett and others. When
after addresses by these gentleman the sub-
scription paper was passed around the full
amount asked for was subscribed at ornee,
thus showing that the people are fully
alive to their best interests.
ILLY BUTTON'S
best girl is one of
those nice little
"home bodies'1 who
thinks it must be aw-
fully lonesome for a fellow to be a
bacehlor. If Billy was making a little
more money he wouldn't be a bacehlor
much longer.
It grieved her tender little soul as
Christmas time approached to think
that Billy would have no homemade
pie, without which there can be no
proper celebration of the day. She
couldn't ask him to her house to dinner
because her father disagreed with
Billy even worse than the pie probably
would. He allowed Billy to call once
in awhile, but such a formal recogni-
tion as a Christmas invitation was not
to be thought of. So she determined
to make a pie with her own fair hands,
and let Billy take it home with him.
Thus it happened that when Billy ven-
tured to make one of those rare visits
to her house he found her standing in
her parlor waiting for him, holding
the pie in both hands and gazing over
its expansive upper crust with a look
that went straight to Billy's heart It
was an affecting scene.
"Billy," she said, with tears in her
eyes, "take this as a little token of my
love."
It was a very big pie, for the little
girl had kept thinking how much she
loved Billy all the time she was de-
signing it, and every time one of his
4dVi\Vi&w
larged the size of the plate that the
pie was to be baked in, so that
it was finally executed and bakec^b
stealth in the family kitchen it was
about the size of a grindstone, and the
filling had made a serious inroad up-
on the family stock of mincemeat.
Now, Billy loves this young lady to
that extent that he would love pie or
anything else for her sake, but she
couldn't produce a similar effect on
the pie, and he knew it. If there is
one thing that Billy can't eat wiihout
dreaming of green dragons with sky-
blue tails, that thing is mince
pie. But he wouldn't tell her so: oh,
no! He took the pie and set it on a
table, and then he proceeded to ad-
mire it, and to tell her how hollow and
unsatisfactory were all restaurant
pies, and how much he had longed for
just such a great, glorious pie as that.
But he ventured to suggest that it
would be a difficult thing to carry
home. The girl lives i*\ the far end of
Brooklyn and Billy is a New Yorker.
put it down on the vacant seat beside
him, steadying it against the back.
Then he leaned his head against the
side of the car and heaved a sigh of
relief as he settled into a comfortable
position.
He knew that pie which he had
eaten was already setting the scenery
for frightful nightmare pantomimes,but
the big pie had weighted heavier on
his mind than the little one had on his
stomach as yet, and the ease with
which he was managing it soothed him
wonderfully. The monotonous rattle
of the car wheels came to his sleepy
ears like a slumbar song, and before
he knew it he was dozing. He came
to himself with a start as the train
slowed at a station, and was just in
time to catch his "bouquet" sliding to-
ward the floor. He replaced it more
firmly aud again lay back in his place.
Then it seemed to Billy that an
altogether unnecessary number of
people were boarding the train. And
everybody who came in eyed the mince
pie. Several young men were par-
ticularly offensive.
"Ha, ha!" said one of them, 'he
thinks he's fixed that pie to look like a
bouquet, but I Can smeil the hard cider.
Then he poked his cane at the pie,
and his companion barked. This in-
sult to his best girl's mincemeat made
Billy's blood boil, but somehow he
couldn't do anything to resent it
While he was resolving to get ven-
geance a big man came along and sat
down on the pie. Then he arose and
began to abuse Billy for leaving it in
the way. This was adding insult to
injury, but Billy's bashfulness about
the pie had sapped his courage and he
could find no words to reply. Instead,
he grabbed the unfortunate pie and
hurried into another car. This appear-
ed to be full of pretty girls, and they
all gisrgled in unison when Billy came
in with his load. Every seat was oc-
cupied, and Billy had to stand up .rrd
be stared at. The pie was so big theft
Billy had to hold it in both hands, so
he couldn't hold on to the strap. Con-
sequently, when the train wont round
a sudden curve Billy sat down in a
girl's lap. She stuck a sliawl-pin into
his back, and he arose almost as ab-
ruptly as he had sat down.

Alleged Trunk Robbery.
El Paso, Tex., Jan. 3.—Yesterday
afternoon a bold robbery occurred at the
El Paso house in this city. A man named
Thomas Ravmer arrived there on Tuesday
with silver to the amount he claims, of
about $1500 in his trunk. Yesterday even-
ing about 5 o'clock he went in search of
somebody to move the trunk to {he depot
and was absent about twenty-five or thirty
minutes. When he returned the trunk bad
been broken into and neariy half the silver
taken. He says he lias lost §617. The
officers are at work on the case.
Still MlS4U)g.
Atlanta, Tex., Jan. 2.—Last night at
7:30 o'clock a meeting of the citizens was
called for the purpose of making arrange-
ments to hunt for Henry Johnson, who
was lost in Sulphur bottoms Tuesday.
About twénty-five or thirty citizens left on
the early morning train to search for him
and as many more will leave on the next
train. Nothing has developee up to this
writing. The parents have the sympathy
of the entirb coniJiunity 114 their distress.
He fell to praising the pie again,
and said that he could hardly refrain
from eating it right then and there.
Then she said she needn't break
into that pie and spoil its personal
appearance because she had a smaller
one in the pantry that he could have
right away. Poor fellow, he must
be hungry: he was looking right thin;
they didn't feed him well at his board-
ing-house. So she hurried off to get
the small pie. and Billy sat there won-
dering whether to lose his girl by re-
fusing the pie or to lose his life by eat-
ing it He finally decided that it would
be gross egotism to hold his life of
more importance than his love and
when she appeared with the smaller
pie he was ready for the sacrifice. He
ate it all and asked if he couldn't keep
right on and eat the big one; but she
smiled, as a woman always does when
a mag has complimented her cooking
at the expense of his digestive machin-
ery, and told him that his health was
the subject of her eternal solicitude,
and she couldn't on any consideration
allow him to eat more th m one mince
pie after 9 o'clock in the evening.
They occupied the remainder of the
time in wrapping up the large pie so
that it would not give itself away and
make foolish people laugh. Neither
of them were very expert at doing ud
bundles, and their earlier efforts were
not productive of good results either
to their tempers or to the pie, but at
last Billy hit upon a great idea. He
put an enormous piece of paper right
over the top of the pie. and rolled up
tiie ends underneath so that the whole
had the desired effect of a gigantic
bouquet, and in that form he bore it
away.
When he got on board the L train
there were few people in the car, and
he congratulated himself accordingly.
He secured one of the cross seats, a nd
all to himself, and as the weight of
the pie was formidable U3 ventured to
He was about to ask her ironi-
cally if she wafted him to take that as
a proposal when the train reached the
bridge, and everybody hurried out In
the confusion umbrellas, canes and
elbows innumerable were punched
through the pie, and it was badly
wrecked when Billy reached the bridge
car. The crowd which had tiled out of
the train crowded the bridge car. and
everybody appeared to have heard of
Billy and his pie. Girls tittered and
whispered criticisms about the pieman
as he walked aboard. It, seemed an
endless journey across, aud in the L
train on the other side things were no
better. A series of grotesque and
humiliating adventures attended his
progress up town, and when he alight-
ed in Harlem he was in a condition
half way between profanity and
hysteria.
The street through which he had to
pass had always been dark, but he
never had known it so black as on this
particuar occasion. He was glad to
have the pie shrouded in this welcome
gloom, but the unusual darkness sug-
gested sandbaggers. The fear of these
industrious but inconsiderate people
had no sooner crossed his mind than
he heard whispering voices behind
him:
"Get onto de cove," said one.
"Pipe de blooming bundle dat he's
a-carryin' so careful. Must be full o'
swag."
"Le's do him up," said another.
"I'll club de life out of him while you
collar de boodle. See?"
Billy tried to run and struggled to
get voice enough to howl police, but
before he could do either he felt the
deadly sandbag knock his hat to ever-
lasting ruin and then he sank upon the
pavement while the pie was wrenched
from his hand.
i

pie which I had eaten," said Billy
when he related this story to me, "bat

and costs the next day. I wouldn't
mind the fine if I hadn't broken that
plate. The little girl will surely find
out about it when I have to tell her I
can't return the plate. She wouldn't
have known any other way, for of
course I gave an assumed name at the
station, where I was charged with
drunkenness,disorderly conduct and as-
sault and battery, but—"
"Whose name did you give?"
"Why, the first one I thought of."
Billy replied; "yours, you know." —

A NOVEL INVENTION.
t¿
You May Carry Your Own Type-
writer in Your Pocket.
A pocket typewriter is shortly to be
offered to the British public. th«
Patent Office Record. Typewriting
instruments now in the market are of
considerable size aud weight—at least
a person could scarcely think of carry-
ing one about with him regularly. The
one under notice is not inexpensive,
but is so small that it may be carried
in the waist pocket The retail price
will be under 10 shillings: it measure
3} inches by 3 inches and weighs
about four ounctes. Though so small
it is not a mere toy. The inventer
claims for it that it will turn out bet-
ter work and be found more useful
than larger and more expensive ma-
chines. With reference to its conr
struction, all that can be seen when
superficially examined is a disk about
the size of the face of a gentleman's
watch, in which the type is fixed, and
one or two smalt rollers. It will print
a line from an inch to a yard long and
paper of any size or thickness can be
used. Anyone can use it though, at*
in the case of other instruments
practice is required to enable the
operator to write quickly. Another
advantage is that by means of dupli-
cate types the writer can bo used for
different languages. Patents have
been obtained for most of the countries
in Europe as well as for America
Canada, aud Australia.
Corpulent Moorish Brail7.
The Moors have extraordinary ideas
concerning female beauty. They fancy
an oily skin, teeth projecting beyond
the lips, pointed nails an inch long
and a figure so corpulent that two per-
sons putting their arms around the
waist could scarcely make their fingers
touch. A woman of modern preten-
sions to beauty needs a slave under
each arm to support her as she walks,
and a perfect belle carries weight
enough to load a camel. Mothers are
so anxious to have their daughters at-

he has seen a poor girl sit crying for
more than an hour with the bowl at
her lips, while her mother stood over
her with a stick and beat her whenever
she perceived that she was not swal-
lowing.
The Moors marry at a very early
age, and wives are always purchased.
The father of the girl cannot refuse an
offer unless there is some stain on the
young man's character. If a wife
does not become the mother of a son
she may be divorced by the husband.
The mother of many sons is held in
the highest respect and is never suffer-
ed to perform any menial office.
A dizziness c.ime over him. He

and one of them supported the con-
ductor, who stood there with his face
covered with mincemeat and the under
crust of the enormous pie around his
neck.
"Young feller," said the conductor,
as he wiped the mincemeat out of his
eye, "you'll pay for this. Here I was
trying to do you a favor by waking
you up at the bridge and you slammed
a thousand pounds of «-hopped dog

The Point of View.
[Sonnet to an American Girl by a Member
of the Chínese Legation. J
Why does my heart permit thy gentle sway i
No tiger lily hues are in thy face:
Rose tint thou hast, alas, like all thy race.
And yet I love thee; struggle though I may.
Thine eyes are large and round, a bluish
gray
(But still they seem to bid me urge my
suit) —
They are not shaped like lovely almond
fruit
Set in thy face asíant. the only way
That can be right. Thy free and mannish
walk
Tells of no dwarfing, waddle causing shoe;
Thy feet are long and slender, sad to view,
More like a muu's than woman's—yet I talk
Of thy dear self from morn till dewy eve—
My vows of love, sweet heathen, pray re-

Artificial Teeth.
About nine-tenths of our population
use artificial teeth after they have
rcached the age of twenty-five. In
the cities the number oí young people
we ring artificial teeth is greater than
in the country, which fact is, probably
due to the difference of living. The
high, rich living, late hours, and con-
stant mental strain demanded of those
residing in large towns, reduces the
vitality of the system greatly, while
in the fresh air, wholsome food, and
daily physical exercise of our country
cousins build up constitutions that ean
stand a great deal of wear and tear.
Poor teeth are the natural inheritance
of a weakly constitution. But many
who are, apparently, strong and
healthy, lose their natural teeth long
before they have reached middle age.
This can be attributed only to the kind
of food that they have been in the
habit of eating—food which may not
possess the necessary materials that go
to forming strong, flinty teeth.
A New Wrinkle.
Paint from potatoes is a new
wrinkle in the arts and sciences.
Kuhlow's Trade Review gives the
manner of preparation. Boil a kilo of
peeled potatoes in water; after mash-
ing dilute with water and pass through
a fine sieve. Add two kilos of Spanish
white diluted with four kilos of water,
and the result will be a beautiful milk-
white. Different colors can be effected
by the addition of different ochres and
minerals. Apply with a brush. It ad-
heres to plaster and wood very welL
will not peel, and, best of all is cheap.
