Missouri, Kansas & Texas passenger
train No. 2 met with a serious wreck
Wednesday at a point about eight miles
north ot Houston Between 30 and 40
passengers, besides the trainmen, express,
baggage and mail men, were on board at
the time of the accident, but no one was
seriously injured. The wreck was caused
by the foundation of a small bridge across
White Oak bayou having been washed
out, but practically leaving the bridge in
position. The engine passed over safely,
but the tender, mail, baggage and express
car and the second-class coach were liter-
ally ground into splinters. The chair-car
and the sleeper did not leave the track,
and no injury was sustained to them.
Engineer Garrett suffered an ugly wound
on the left leg from a splinter, the tire-
man was dumped out on the embank-
ment, the express messenger and the mail
men were quite severely shaken up, but in

Allan Duncan, the young man from
Greenville who had his legs mashed off
bv the cars at Muskogee early in the
week, died at Muskogee Thursday.
Mr. John Grace, carpenter, working for
the bridge and building department of
the Katv, spent two or three days in Den-
ison with family and friends this week.
Mr. Grace has been employed a month or
more in the general office building at
Dallas. It will probably require two or
three weeks yet to complete the job.
The commissioners’ couttof Hill coun
tv has raised the tax valuation of all the
lines of railway passing through that
county.
The Denison conductors are determined
to give a grand picnic at some point on
the line of the M.. K. A: T., in the Indian
Territorv sometime during July.
During the past week quite a little spec-
ulation has-been indulged in both at Den-
ison and Sherman relative to the Texas
.& Pacific buildin^'-Ti Denison tap. It
seems that the whole thtQg in a nut shell
amounts to about this: ifTienison will
furnish the right of wav, dep&Ugrounds
and build the road the Texas & Pacific
will kiudly equip it and give Denison Sm-
other railway outlet to the east and the
west. The proposed route of the new
road leaves the Texas A: Pacific main line
about three miles east of the union depot
at Sherman, thence north along and
across Shannon creek to the divide on
Iron Ore near the lower wire bridge and
thence to Denison along one of the many
tributaries to Sand Branch. With the ex-
ception of a few coal switches west ot
Weatherford and east of Eastland not a
mile of new road has been added to the
Texas A: Pacific in Texas from twelve to
fifteen years, and if the Denison tap is
put in it is quite probable that the city
will have to go down into its jeans and put
up the wherewith. If Denison would
build the road entire and donate it jointly
to the Texas A: Pacific, Cotton Belt and
the Denison Street Line Railway Com-
pany it would certainly be money well
planted.
Allan Duncan, a lad some 16 to 17
years ot age, was run over by the cars
early this week at Muskogee, I. T., and as
a result both legs were mashed to a pulp.
Duncan’s parents reside in Hunt county,
jbe ween Kingston and Greenville. The
jad was out on a lark when the accid it
Occurred.
Freight rates from St. Louis to Texas
points are cheaper than from town to
town in Texas regardless of the distance.
It costs two or three times as much to
ship goods from Denison to Henrietta as
it docs from St. Louis to Denison. This
is one of the peculiar features of profit-
able railroading—an anomoly in the busi-
ness world.
A few years ago an insane man entered
the office of Russell Sage in New York
City, and demanded cash or blood. The
cash did not come and a bom was hurled
at the Wall street miser. In the explo-
sion that followed both Sage and his pri-
vate secretary were seriouslv injured.
The young man sustained wounds that
rendered him incapable of physical exer-
tion and overtures were often made to
Mr. Sage for a reasonable amount in pay-
ment of the damages. Sage turned a deaf
ear to every appeal and the matter was
taken to the courts. Friday the juty gave
the voung man a verdict for $40,000.
Messrs. R. Watson Maguire, treasurer
pf the Missouri, Kansas 2c Texas, E. M.
Reardon, Henry Hamilton, J. W. Max-
well and John Allen returned last night
trom a fishing excursion to Rockport.
The recital of their adventures with the
finny tribe would read like the “Arabian
Knights” but for the fact that thev
brought with them a June fish weighing
200 pounds, which was hitched by Mr.
Maxwell. This fish was admired last
night by hundreds, and the successful
fisherman was the recipient of many com-
pliments. Former fishing expeditions
have returned with reports ot large cap-
tures, but this g- the first time the evi-
dence—without, which people will ex-
claim “Oh, that’s a fish storv”—ha:

generally supposed that the man who at-

it is also understood that the man is

' FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1S95.
Chief of Police HAry Hackney left
last nightffor South McAlester, the object
of the trip being that of capturing the
man who attempted to burglarize the
hardware house of Messrs. Dollarhide At
Schaffer. Mr. Hackneytame in at noon
today without his man, as the person
under suspicion was not injured in the

turbance, have been set tor 9 o’clock to-
ber on the printed program was not ren-
dered. Mrs. P. H. B. Shearer, however,
volunteered to fill Miss Duncan’s place,
and “Our Wedding Day,” an humorous
literary production proved to the audience
in a most conclusive manner that many a
true word is said in a joke. The open-
ing number of the evenings exercises was
a recitation, “The Ball-headed Man” by
Master Ernst Doyle. Master Erast en-J
tered heartily into the spirit of his recita- j
tion and everybody in the audience en-
joyed the fun.
Miss Lalla Lair fully sustained her
standing in the school and community as
an excellent elocutionist. Her subject
Vas, “Dead—Name Unknown,” and at
the conclusion she was extended a gener-
ous applause.
Messrs. Suggs and Wyneck rendered a
mandolin and guitar duet and so delight-
ed were the auditors that an encore was
insisted upon until it was given.
Little Mis* Lizzie Sherburne in “Money
Musk” had a double duty to perform—
elocution and dancing—but was abun-
dantly equal to the emergency and the
applause with which she was greeted was
certainly deserving.
“The Gypsy Flower Girl” by Miss
Ludie Lindsey was replete with the ele-
ments ol elocution and, In fact, was the
most suitable number of the evening for a
contest of that kind. The young lady
has ajr-^excellent voice, under good con-
trol aiid an intelligent mind to direct its
modujation, intonation and measure.
Miss Jeanette Bailey was handicapped
with a selection unfitted for the occasion
and in as much as she was one of the
graduates and also, unconsciously, one ot
the contestants for the gold medal, this
was truly unfortunate. This, however,
was not of MissBattev’s choosing and she
deserves great credit for the masterly and
intelligent manner in which she endeavor-
ed to produce eloquence where there was
no eloquence. The selection was “How-
Ruby Played,” a piece especially fitted
for an entertainment but devoid of lines
suited for an elocutionary contest
Miss Helen Murray’s “Dagger Scene”
from Macbeth was the last of the program
and of this the Evening Herald of Wed-
nesday says; “If there is anything in
Shakespeare that presents almost unsur-
mountable difficulties to the amateur
elocutionist it is this identical scene. In
fact it is questionable whether it lies
within the range of human capacity to
make the scene successful without the aid
of the usual dramatic accessories. Miss
Murray did it amazingly well. Her action
was dignified, her elocution natural, her
manner deeply imbued with the tragic
feeling her imagined surroundings called
into being. In the strictest sense it was
an effort more dramatic than elocution-
ary, and it was probably for this reason
that her work did not meet with more
success with the judges. Miss Murray has
a decidedly pleasing presence, features
scintillating with intelligence, a voice
adapted to tragic expression, a manner
free from amateurish restraint, and a sin-
gularly graceful carriage. She acquitted
herself in a manner that left no doubt as
to her talent and was applauded to the
echo.”
The judges were N. Picard, Mr. Buck-
ingham, of Dallas, W. A. Cooper, E. H.
TLJles and George P. Hauser. Messrs.
Cooper, Liles and Hauser are local min-
isters and Mr. Picard is editor in charge
of the Evrnjng Herald. The prize was
awarded Miss Lindsey, the vote standing;
Miss Lindsey 3, Miss Bailey 2.

Closing Exercises.
The Chickasaw Male Academy, located
at Tishomingo, I. T., and one among the
oldest schools in the Indian Territorv,
will hold graduating exercises at the acad-
emy building on Wednesday, June 26.
Hon. Joel C. Kemp, the superintendent,
C. W. Clift, principal, and Misses Marv
Caldwell and Marv Cox, associate teach
ers are leaving nothing undone that will
add to the attractiveness of the occasion.
The wagon-road leading from Denison to
Tishomingo at this season of the year is
usually in splendid condition, leading for
the most part across great open prairies,
and the trip will no doubt be one of much
interest and information to all who at-
tend.
Osborn Fisher presented the editor one
from his own smoke-house the other day,
and it was simply out of sight. The old-
fashioned farmer knows more about pre-
serving meat than any boss at a packery
that ever lived, and isn’t it stTange that
they import their meat rather than raise
hogs?

Mr. G. W. Davis, aged 68 years, died
Sunday evening at the family home in
Southwest Denison and on Tuesday the
remains were interred in Fairview ceme-
tery. Mr. Davis was a grand old man
and about his life cluster many stirring
events that go to make up the history of
Texas, Mexico and the Confederacy. He
was in the famous David S. Terry com-
mand during the Mexican war and was in
many of the hard-fought but ever victor-
ious battles in that short and memorable
campaign. In the late war he was with
the Texas and Louisiana department.
The family now consists of three children
and two grand children, Mr. A. D. Davis,
of San Antonio, Mrs. Kennedy and Miss
Mabel Davis, ot Denison.
The boys have discovered a very inter-
esting way of getting around Judge Max-
ev’s tool order about throwing dice. They
lay two cubes of sugar on the counter and
the owner of the lump on which a fly set-
tles first sets ’em up. This is an improve-
ment on dice as it saves time. Dice
throwing never was popular with the sa-
loon bosses, but the fly test bids fair to
have a run.
