Freight Wreck.
Nacogdoches. Tex., July 25.—There
was a big freight wreck fifteen miles
north of here Saturday evening, on the
Houston, East and West Texas. The
locomotive and several cars went
through a trestle that had burned, and
two railroad employes were hurt. The
passenger trains going both ways had
to turn back. Passengers were trans-
ferred.
Kleine?, who lives with her husband
at 1820 Congress avenue, and she was
taken to her home as soon as she had
recovered sufficiently from the shock.
It seems that Mr.s Kleiner had been
engaged in cleaning up the third floor
of the building nearly oppoite the
Hutchings house, which is known as
Union Labor hall. She had made good
progress with her work, but becoming
very warm, she went to the window
overlooking Franklin avenue, and in
order to catch the breeze sat in the
window, with her back against one side
of the casing and her feet braced
against the other.
While in this position she is sup-
posed to have lost her balance and top-
pled out head first.

search of her. It was some time be-
fore he could get any trace of her, but
at last, as he was passing a tank, he
discovered her body floating in the
water. He immediately rushed to her
assistance, and aided by a neighbor,
the woman was taken from the water,
but an investigation showed that he
had arrived too late, as death had
claimed her. An inquest held result-
ed in a verdict of suicide, supposed to
have been caused by despondency over
what the deceased considered an in-
curable disease.

Deed Done by Dastards.
Fort Worth, Tex., July 23.—The de-
velopments in the Santa Fe hold-up
Thursday night, this side of Saginaw,
eight miles from Fort Worth, show
clearly that it was one of the most
carefully arranged plans to put to
death the engineer and fireman hav-
ing the engine in charge and to de-
stroy the lives of numberless passen-
gers, if necessary, to carry out their
intention of robbing the train.
Yesterday morning about a peck of
dynamite was found on the grade near
where the bandits were fired upon by
the officers. The fact is ascertained
that the outlaws had deliberately
wrapped four sticks of dynamite to-
gether and provided it with fuse and
cap and placed it in front of the ex-
press car, going to the extent of light -
ing the fuse, with the end in view of
blowing up the entire train of passe-
gers if is was necessary to accomplish
their inhuman, outrageous and nefa-
rious work.
The fireman was killed and the en-
gineer badly wounded.
Tonne Passenger.
Denison, Tex., July 23.—One of the
smallest passengers who has ever
passed through Denison on a railroad
train went through yesterday, en route
to a point north of Hannibal. It was
a little girl between 4 and 5 years old,
who was traveling from Gainesville to
this northern point. She had a ticket
pinned on her dress, and was very
kindly cared for by the trainmen and
men about the Union station, as well
as by the travelers, all of whom looked
after her smallest comfort.

the trip alone, and when he was pi

Silver Shipments.
Laredo, Tex., July 27.—Several weeks
ago specials from this place mentioned
heavy shipments of silver bullion
through here from Omaha to the mints
in Mexico.
The past ten days the shipment daily
from the City of Mexico to New York
through Laredo of Mexican silver dol-
lars has been all the way from 1000 to
250,000. It is reported that these sil-
ver dollars are to be used by the gov-
ernment for paying the troops in part
at Manila.

Details Too Ghastly.
Waco, Tex., July 26.—Judge W. H.
Lessing wrote his cousin, Capt. Bodley
D. Evans of the Iowa, sending him
copies of Spanish accounts of the Cer-
vera fleet incident. In reply Capt.
Evans wrote to Judge Evans, who is
his cousin, as follows:

Beach Hotel Burns.
Galveston, July 25.—About 4:30 Sat-
urday morning the Beach hotel caught
fire from an unknown cause, and was
completely burned down. The hotel
was erected in 1883 and cost $263,000.
It was the finest seaside hotel on the
southern coast. Four years ago it was
foreclosed on by the city for taxes,
and bought in by W. E. Hughes of Dal-
las for about $20,000. The owner Mon-
day placed $25,000 insurance on the
building. It had been impossible till
then to get insurance since the fore-
closure proceedings. It was to have
been opened Saturday for the sum-
mer.
Fire at Crawford.
Crawford, Tex., July 26.—This morn-
ing about 4 o’clock Crawford was
aroused by the cries of fire. The large
stone building owned and occupied by
Allen Bros. was on fire and an hour
later was all consumed but the walls,
and are believed to be entirely ruined.
There was not a single article taken
from the house, as the heat was so in-
tense no one could venture near the
building. •
The fire was no doubt put there by
some robber or other malicious per-
son. The insurance is light, especially
on the building, as it was supposed to
be the safest house in town, being built
of stone and covered with iron.

Body Found.
Texarkana, Tex., July 26.—The body
of Walter Carr, the young man who
was drowned in Bed river on Friday,
was recovered yesterday a few miles
below the spot where his clothes were
discovered. There was nothing about
the corpse to indicate foul play, and
the supposition is now prevailing that
the young man came to his death by
accident while bathing in the river.
Constable Hurt.
Hillsboro, Tex., July 26.—Constable
John Kirk received a dangerous cut
last night on the excursion train from
Dallas. He was called upon by some
of the train crew to quiet some men on
the train who were acting in a bois-
terous manner. An affray occurred in
which Kirk got a cut an inch and a
half deep over his heart and a slight
cut over the right shoulder. John
Woodall and W. W. Pitts, who were
assisting him, also had narrow es-
capes. Woodall was cut slightly on the
neck and Pitts’ vest was cut through
on the left side. H. H. Emerson of
West was arrested and jailed under a
charge of an assault to murder.
Father Found.
Gainesville, Tex., July 25.—A week
ago a lady, supposed to be a widow,
died and was buried by charity in East
Gainesville. She left a little girl 5%
years old. Before dying she said her
husband was living, and declared it to
be her desire that he be found and the
child sent to him. The lady in whose
care the child was temporarily left
found the husband by diligent ini
quiry. His home is at Salisaw, Chero

Austin, July 27.—Gov. Culberson be-
lieves from advices he has received
direct that the health of the Texas
troops at Miami, Fla., is alarming, and
is doing all he can to have them re-
moved to a place of safety. Troops
from only three states, Alabama,
Louisians and Texas, are at this place
and he is in telegraphic communication
with Gov. Johnston of Alabama and
Gov. Foster of Louisiana on the sub-
ject. Having received definite and pos-
itive information from Miami Mon-
day morning and Monday night, which
leaves no doubt of the situation, he
sent the following telegram to the sec-
retary of war yesterday:
“Secretary of War, Washington, D.
C.: Official report shows that in the
first and second Texas regiments at Mi-
ami, Fla., 425 men are sick. About half
of these have malarial and typhoid fe-
ver, and it is attributed to the wretch-
ed sanitary condition of the camp. Per-
sons there report the character and ex-
tent of the sickness alarming and on
the increase, and insist that the rem-
edy is prompt removal of the troops.
An answer as to what will be done is
respectfully requested.

Peeuliar Runaway.
Hillsboro, Tex., July 26—Dr. M. D.
Knox happened to a peculiar and dan-
gerous runaway accident yesterday.
A front wheel of his buggy came off
and the horse became frightened and
ran away, colliding with a telephone
post and turning the buggye upsid
down. It all occurer so quickly that he
could not jump and he fell under the
buggy on his head. An ugly angular
cut was inflicted in his hea.d. It is not
considered dangerous.
Writes His Father.
Sherman, Tex., July 27.—Luna Jor-
dan, who is on board the cruiser De-
troit, writes to his father, J. H. Jordan
of Fairview, North Sherman, as fol-
lows :
“We are at Cienfuegos, doing block-
ade duty. The Helena and Yorktown
are here, also. We have two large
Spanish gunboats and three small ones
and a torpedo boat bottled up. They
won’t come out and fight. As it is
almost impossible to secure anything
from Havana, they must be about
starved.”
Are Recovering.
Texarkana, Tex., July 26.—H. E.
Hawk, whose family was poisoned last
Saturday by watermelon that they had
eaten, came to town and swore out a
warrant against the man who sold
him the melon, but refused to make
known his name. An analysis of the
melon revealed unmistakable evidence
of arsenic in heavy doses. All of the
victims are recovering except the
hired hand, who died Saturday night.

Torn the
Immunes Off.
Galveston, Tex., July 23.—The first
regiment, United States volunteers
(Galveston immunes), left for New Or-
leans yesterday on three trains, via
the International and Great Northern
and Texas and Pacific railways. At
New Orleans they will immediately
embark on the steamship Berlin for
Santiago. A vast concourse of people
was at the railroad yard to bid them
good-bye. There was a hitch in the
loading of the equipment and Eupplies
at the camp, and the crowd stood for
three hours under the broiling sun to
say a last word to the soldiers. Hous-
ton had a reception arranged for com-
pany H, Capt. Bejac, of that city. Pal-
estine had ten beeves barbecued and
had lots of good things for the regi-
ment. The section containing the sec-
ond battalion, to which company I,
Capt. Allen, belong, was allowed a stop
of an hour and a half at Palestine, so
that the boys of that company could
enjoy a brief stay with their friends
and relatives.
Jacksboro Improvements.
Jacksboro, Tex., July 27.—Jacksboro
is to have a cotton seed oil mill The
Jacksboro Cotton Oil company with a
capital stock of $37,500 has secured a
charter and elected its directors and
officers, and ground has been purchas-
ed southwest from town near the Jacks-
boro flour mill and a contract for the
immediate building of a seed house
will be let this week. At a meeting of
the directors the following named per-
sons were elected officers, to-wit: Jno.
president, S. W. Eastin secretary and
treasurer. It is the intention of the
company to have the mill in operation
by Oct. 15, 1898.
Ate Matches.
Belton, Tex., July 26.—Mrs. J. M.
Reisinger of the Sparta neighborhood
on Saturday ate the heads of 280 par-
lor matches and died Sunday. She had
been tried for lunacy, but could not
be received into the asylum at the
time.
Stamp Holder.
, Waxahachie, Tex., July 25.—A man
in this city has patented a stamp hold-
er. He had seen people rub stamps on
their hair to keep them from sticking
together and spermicetti suggested it-
self. He greased sheets of paper and
made a book. He has sold the north
loads of the bocks since the revenue
act went into effect.

Terrible Fall.
Houston, Tex., July 25.—A woman
falling headlong from a third story
window of the building at 914 Franklin
avenue was the appaling spectacle that
met the. eyes of the passer-by on the
opposite side of the street yesterday
morning. A number of cotton men
have their offices in this building, and
the crash upon the roof of the awning
brought them and others to the scene
of the affair.
The woman for a time remained
where she fell, as if she had been kill-
ed, but soon she began to show signs
of returning consciousness, and she
was gently lifted and taken into the
hall on the second floor.
Dr. Knox made an examination of
the injured body as best he could, and
gave it as his opinion that she was not
seriously injured, though, of course, he
had not had an opportunity of making
a thorough examination. He found
that her collar bone was broken, but

Men Differently Constituted.
"Men are differently constituted,”
said Mr. Noggleby. “Some men are
nervous and fretty, and some men taka
things cool and are never disturbed at
all. And then there are some men who
take naturally to travel, and to whom
, long distances do not seem great, and
some to whom a journey of any length
seems a great undertaking. Men of
this last kind who are also nervous and
fretty make a good deal of their prep-
arations and start for train or boat well
in advance, spending the last day, may-
be, in getting ready and starting. And
then there are men who realize that the
whole earth is only 25,000 miles around,
and who are not disturbed by anything,
who will keep right on at their work
in store or office up to 3:30 p. m. and
then take a 4 o’clock boat for Europe
just as they would take a 4 o’clock train
for the suburbs. It all depends on how
a man is constituted.”—New York Sun.
’Noblemen as Monks.
In the depths of the Black Forest of
Germany, there is a monastery which
claims to be the most aristocratic in
the world. All the monks who live
there, far from the distractions of thia
world, are of noble birth, and many
of them bear some of the noblest names
to be found in the Almanach de Gotha,
The two cooks of the monastery are
Prince Edward of Schonberg-Harten-
stein and Prince Philip of Hohenlohe,
who filled, not so many years ago, two
of the highest positions at the German
court. The porter, Baron von Drais,
belongs to one of the oldest families
©f Baden, and among other noblemen
who are employed in the most menial
task are Baron von Salls, Baron von
Ger, and Count Memptirine, all of
whom have held high commands in ths
Saxon army.

Wreck on Santa Fe.
Temple, Tex., July 27.—A wreck oc-
curred on the Santa Fe branch at Pep-
per’s creek, about six miles west from
Temple yesterday morning. A work
train started out a few minutes ahead
of the local, which leaves at 7 o’clock.
On the grade beyond Pepper’s creek
the work train broke in two. The train
was reunited and the flagman called
in, but the engine could not start the
load and the local dashed into the rear
end. The local’s engine was badly
damaged and five cars were wrecked.
Eighteen head of cattle were killed and
the wreckage completely stopped traf-
fic. All trainmen jumped and none
were hurt except “Dad” Christian, en-
gineer of the local. He jumped into a
pile of rocks and was seriously cut and
bruised. The local carries a passenger
coach in which there were several pas-
sengers, but they were warned in time
to brace themselves for the shock and
none were injured.
Well Digger Killed.
Big Sandy, Tex., July 23.—Fred
Wright, an old well digger, was killed
in a well here. He went down to take
out an old curbing, preparatory to re-
placing it with a new one and clean-
ing it out, when the dirt broke in upon
him from above, completely covering
him up, he dying from suffocation.
