Mr. L. D. Cauiunuton inserted an
advertisement in the twenty-five cent
column Sunday advertising lot-a man
to do general work on a small place in
the city and before 10 o'clock Mon-
day he enme to this office and said :
"Don't insert that advertisementagain
I've had about fifteen applications this
morning." The advertisement. was dis-
continued or men would have swarmed
around his place before this.
To snow the popularity of the
Statesman a certain lady got mad at
it for some expression and the dread
ful "atop the paper" came. It was
stopped at her house but everybody
else got it and through many dreary
months this excellent lady has read
h"t neighbor's Statkhman. But ahe
takes it again and is always in a good
humor now. Hut for a time she was
nwfully worried that her frowns did
not send the paper up Salt river.
VTe saw a stout elegantly drcs?ed
woman yesterday heading oil a street
car. As she turned the corner she up-
set a peanut stand. Bhe knocked
down two small boys and a yellow
lorg. She let go the main halyard
end her skirt fell like the new Alpine
lrop curtain of Millctt's Opera House
into a hog wallow. She rushed out
into the street and stood stark and stiff
and cold and mad because the car was
going the wrong way. She lived up
town.
C'apt. Mkkhkm. wh settled in the
northern part of this county forty years
ago is seriously 111. with an affection
of the liver and thr are fear that he
run rot live bfll r ' few days. (Jape.
Mcrrcll is now over eighty years old.
He is perhaps tho oldest white settler
iu this part of the State. Forty years
go Mrs. Merrcll was the only white
woman within thirty ' miles of this
place and at that time tho Indian
were friendly with the few whites that
inhabited this country.
Or n dispatches spoke of narrow
gvige trains running successfully over
the great Frio road. Tho laying down
cf a third rail on the broad gauge
roads is becoming common and the
policy proves profitable to both the
broad and nrrrow 'gauge roada that
thus link their destinies together. If
Arrangements ran be mado for laying
down I third rail on the International
for A distance of twelve or fifteen
miles from this city the building cf
tho narrow gauge to Liberty Hill thir-
ty miles distant would be an easy
tak for Austin this year. The com-
mittee ought at least to ruatlo about
and Iiavo survey maJe from some
point between Duval and IVnind Rock
to Liberty Hill.
Sovr very queer and fuony stories
are told ou some of the gentlemen
who j"vule New Year's call. One
io was mourning the loss of a
rolorcd bnll pn' advertised in
'statkj'MAX couu not retrain
m inijuirTug for the caaine where -
ift ne wenr. ana it is even assoriea
hat st one place he attempted to
i irarble pathetically
"Oh hav fO Mn bit orjv
Pmuo one ought to havo throwu one of
11 j tier's bricks at him. And then it
is told of four gents who glided alwut
in m Hoe hack that they got so near
'half seas over" on apple butter and
brandy peaches nothing more that
they called t' e second timo at the
snme place luvmg forgotten cntinsy
their first vii-. Next time they
should eat more turkey and rake and
! apple butler und brandy peaches.
This is the only sympathetic advice
that the Statesman i able to give
on thofpur of the oment.

ACCIPKKT ON THE CENTRAL. The
accommodation train on tho Central
due here .Monday morning was
thrown from the track about 12:J0
Monday morning near Burton. The
engine tender and eight cars loaded
with horses for the government were
ditched. The accident was caused by
a horse running on the track and be-
ing run over just as the train was ap-
proaching a bridge. The engine ten-
der and one or two crib were turned
bottom side up and the scene that en-
sued among tho struggling horses in
tho eight cara beggared descrip-
tion. About twenty were killed and
as many more were seriously hurt
while many more received slight
injuries. The kicking and lunging
that ensued after the cars were thrown
from the track was lrightfuJ and as
many were hurt by the struggling as
by the fall. The fireman named Fire-
man Mills was seriously but it wa3
thought not dangerously hurt but
the engineer ecapcl. A brktman
was nlsa slightly hurt. There were
twelve cars of horses a baggage and a
passenger ear io the train but fortu-
nately only the four front rars were
ditched aud the passengers therefore
escaped. The train that left here Mon-
terday morning returned at 3 o'clock
with the passengers baggage aud mail
aud among the passengers were the
members of Kick Roberts's pantomime
troupe. The cugine tender aud sev-
eral of the cars me aliucat h total
