STRUCK By THE PILOT.
Terrible MishaP Of n School Teacher
On the Evansville and CraWTOrCis-
willie R8iIrO

Terrible mishap OF n School Teacher
ON the Evansville and CraWfOrGs-
willie Railroad.
Last Wednesday afternoon a school
teacher named Mandell met with 3 horrible
accident ABOUT half a mile south of Sulli-
van, Ind, on the Evansville and CraW-
louisville railroad. As the passenger train,
due in Evansville at S:45 p. NJ, was passing
that point about half-past 5 o'clock in the
afternoon, the engineer discovered q man
sitting on the track. He blew the stock
whistle by way Of giving warning of the
approach Of the train, but the fellow failed
to take heed. he looked about him in a
sleepy sort of a way, and did not move
particle. The engineer, seeing that be was
making no effort to get out of the way,
tried to stop the train, but it could
only be done with hand-brakes, as
the air brakes had given out
at Sullivan. The conductor, baggage
master, and all the men on the train did
their utmost to prevent the accident, but
il could not be avoided. The pilot struck
8audell and knocked him Off the rails.
His arm, thigh, and a great many of his
ribs were broken. His hip was also dis
located, and his thigh badly mangled. In
addition to his other injuries he received
severe confusion on the head. The I'M
fortunate man was put aboard the train
and taken to Paxton, where he was placed
under the care OF a physician. His in
juries were such that his recovery was re-
garded as a matter of impOssibility. It is
said that Mandell had been in Sullivan
during the day, drinking heavily, and was
very much un1er the influence of liquor
when starting out Of town TO walk home.

Mo Means to Bury Her Child.

An elderly woman named Hawkins ap-
piled to Judge FerriSs yesterday for means
TO assist in decently bUrying her deceased
grand child. She said she had visited a
number Of stores and at all Of them was
told that they had no money. As a
last resort she went to Justice Creighton
and obtained an order to have the child
buried in the county cemetery, but she did
not want to see it put away in such a poor
style. The Judge told her that the county
had done all its power for Ter, and that he
was not able TO bury the child himself He
encouraged the poor woman by giving her a
small sum Of money, and she left. The
husband Of the child's mother she said, had
left her without means Of support, and she
was compelled to call upon the public for
assistance. The old lady excited the sym
pathy Of those who heard her story.

BRIGHAM YOUNG'S OLD AGE,

Age and persecution are gradually
s"uring the mild and gentle temper Of
lSrigham Young, of Salt Lake City.
Instead of mellowing it, they are ruin
ing II. Adversely is not softening his
views OF life, nor reducing the asperity
OF his language. Perhaps it is Ann
E'i&a who has done this; perhaps it is
IN" ladies of the harein. According to
tho Salt Lake Tribune, disagree,blc
scene occurred not long since. One of
the prophets many sons, President of
the order of Enoch, and n vagabond of
spendthrift reputation, ran short of
money and called on tho old gentleman
to give him some. Brigham referred
young hopeful to George n. Smith,
trlstec-in-ttust of the church. Smith
gave the younger Young a bit of his
mind, called him II spcndthrift, Il
squanderer, vagabond, and wound
up by telling him that tho treasury OF
Jesus Christ would never furnish him
penny. According to tho Tribune.
Brigham threw his hat in Smiths face.
"fake that Oh You, said the prophet:
"thihgs have come to pretty pass
When my sons can not get the money
! earned.' The hat was restored to
him, and tho old gentleman's ire was
s"othed with n check given to tho
young one. Tho same paper charges
f'righ"m with continuing his aged wife,
his only lawful ono, in an old school,
house behfud the seragtio, and slowly
starving her TO death. Take il alto
gcther, Mr.. Young must be getting to
he Il very disagrceablesorto of prophet.

SCENE IN 4 CSUHT ROOM

Last Monday in New crlCaus CASTOR
found guilty. Upon the verdict of the
jury being made known the criminal
took poison in the court room. The
piraynnc thus describes the SCENE:
At length tho clerk receives from The
hands of the foreman the verdict OF the
jury, which nc reads in cicar, distinct
voice, sending each syllable into the
iurJhercSt corner of tho room --t'Guilty,
but without capital punishmcnt.'
Scarcely had the las! word escaped his
lips when, with a rapid movement, the
prisoner drew from tho inner pocket OF
his coat II bottle, and ere any OF the
byStandrr5 could intercept his hand,
raised il TO his lips and Immediately
swallowed its contents. Instantly arose
the cry, "I'nison, poison - ana a. one
man the spectators Srrang from thrn
seats, and would have gathered around
the now falling body of the prisoner,
had not the officers of the court puriiCt
the rising tumutt. Whom tn" quick
action OF Larcit was perceived, ho was
graspcd by the watchlul deputies ana
conveyed to the prisoners room where
he was stretched upon chairs, and mes
scngcrs dispatched in various directions
to summon the aid of physicians. In
the meanwhile every available means
were employed to couutcract tie
effects of the supposed dos" Of poison.
The would-bc suicide, with eyes rolling
wildly III their sockets and mouth
fr0tHy with loan, presented horrible
appearance. DrS. Guihci and APPOINTS
soon arrived upon the scene and adopted
measures to rcsuscitatc tho Wrctchcu
man.
