Terr,bye Accident.

[From the Shreveport Times, 25th,l
Yesterday morning, at about eight
O'Clock, as the train from TeXarkana
for Marshall, was crossing the bridge
over Little Cypress bayou, six miles
this side of Jefferson, the last bench
of the bridge gave way, precipitating
the engine against the bank and The
tender and express car into the bayou,
killing the fireman and seriously injur-
ing the engineer. The shock broke
the coupling that held the rear cars to
the express car, and saved them from
being also pitched into the bayou and
wrecked. gFr
The engineer and firemen were the
only persons ON the locomotive and
express car, though there We're twenty
passengers in the other cars. The
name of the engineer is Toney Bar
stowe. His left arm is broken in two
places, and lie complains of much pain
in the breast, though strong hopes are
entertained Of his recovery. He was
taken to Marshall on the relief train.
Ed. johnson, the fireman, had his left
leg mashed into jelly. His stomach
was also badly mashed, and his whole
body bruised and badly cut. He died
in about an hour and quarter, re
marking just before his death that he
left a widowed mother and three sisters
to the mercy Of the world. The con-
ductor was slightly injured and a num-
Der of the passengers Knocked over.
1t seems that the foundation OF the
bridge is not the best, and the recent
rains and flood had washed under the
piling. We are Informed that the
bridge was not considered secure, and
force had been sent there the day be-
fore to work on it, but the rains had
not permitted anything 10 be done.
w. Ford, a brakesman on the train,
is highly spoken of fol. his GOODNESS.
He prevented number of frightened
passengers from jumping off the train,
and Immediately sent flagman back
to stop and notify the freight train
then nearly due.
A relief train was Immediately sent
out from Marshall. Until the bridge
is repaired, trains from Texarkana and
Marshall will exchange passengers,
etc, at the break, a'Ae q @

After supper Saturday evening, Mr..
Anderson took the children and went
up the street 10 another house he was
having furnished for the occupancy of
a number of workmen he had emf
ployed, leaving his wife sitting in the
store door on the street. This was be-
tween seven and eight O'Clock in the
evening, While sitting there Mrs
Anderson heard some one tumbling
about In her room, and supposlng ii 10
be drunken men from the saloon who
had gone In there, called the bar
tender and asked him to go back and
take the fellow ont. The bar tender
went back through the saloon, and
reaching the back door, saw Il man
standing in the yard near the iron
railing that surrounds the market
He asked twice, 'Who is that but
receiving no answer, stepped back 10
get his pistol; but when he returned
the man had disappeared. People liv-
ing up stairs say they saw two men
rumaging among the barrels, but
thought nothing of IT,
About half IN hour subsequently
Mr.. Anderson returned, and going In
to the back room to get drink of
water, missed n trunk containing val
uablcs and money. He Immediately
called his wife, but the trunk was
gone containing $1,000 in currency, Il
considerable sum in gold and silver,
jewelry, two gold and one silver
watch, besides papers and securities of
value.
Ii seems the room was the sleeping
apartment Of the Anderso rs, and they
Kept their money and .jewelry in the
trunk under their own eyes. 1t is evi
dent from this that the robbery was
by some one familiar with
the house and its customs. The rob-
bers were tracked rs far as the rail
road, but there the trail was lost. The
trunk, containing n few papers, was
found yesterday floating down the
river, two miles below town. One Of
the thieves, in getting over the market
fence, dropped a Colt'srevolver, which
was picked up yesterday morning and
found to be numbered 27l, l20.
Mr.. Anderson offers as reward for
the capture of the robbers half Of all
the money that may be recovered from
them.

Nervous Mothers.


There is sentiment among American
women which makes il desirable for q
mother to have her children always about
her. If she does not nurse her infant
and modern American mothers can rarely
do that--she has it constantly in her pres
ence, and purposely employs an ignorant
and inexperienced nurse, for the sake Of
having one about her who will submit to
be constantly harassed by directions The
practical result Of this sentimental matern-
ity is really disastrous. American women
are nervous American men are nervous.
Naturally they have nervous children :
children of slender physique, but easily ex-
cited into an exhibition Of precocious in
telligence, which is considered genius TO
make il notice early, to make it talk
soon, and then to report its wise and witty
sayings, is the aim Of the fond American
mothers life. Instead Of letting the little
creature suck its fist and grow fat It is

young children in the hands Of experienced
nurses, and making them responsible, is
much better. The nervous activity Of the
mother would then cease to irritate, and
only act as an occasional stimulus The
child would be subject to less excitement,
less indulgence, more regular and healthy
habits. The trained mechanism Of the

Care for Daughters.

Would you show yourself really good to
your daughters ? Then be generous to them
in truer sense than that Of heaping trink-
cts on their necks. Train them for independ.
once first, and then labor to give it to them
Let them, as soon as ever they are grown
up. have some little money, or means OF
making money, to be their own, and teach
them how to deal with it, without needing
every moment, somebody to help them.
Calculate what you give them or will be-
queath TO them, not as is usually done, on
the chances of their making rich marriage
but on the probability of their remaining
single and according to the scale of living
to which you have accustomed them. Sup
press their luxuries now if need be, but dc
not leave them with scarcely bare neces-
saries hereafter, in striking contrast to their
presenthome, Above ALL help them to help
themselves. Fit them to be able to add Ia
their own means, rather than to be forever
pinching and economizing, till their minds
are narrowed and their hearts are sick
Give them all the culture you can to every
power which they may possess. If they
should marry after all, they will be the
happier and the better for it. If they
should remain among the million of the uu.
married, they will bless you in your grave,
and say of you, what cannot be said of many
