FrightfuI Fail.

About eleven o'clock Wednesday
night the watohman on the Texas and
Pacific road, near the Trinity bridge,
saw man running hurriedly towards
the bridge, and concluded there was
something wrong with him; attempted
to head him off, all to no purpose
however, for the man gained the
bridge, and after having gotten some
distance on the structure fell through
with heavy thud. Sheriff Moon was
notified OF the fact and the man, who
fortunately sustained no injuries, save
a few slight bruises, was marched Ia
the Jail. He gave his name as j.

Plttsburg Commercial An accident
occurred on Saturday afternoons, at
$3.50 o'clock, at the Valley Paper mill,
at Verona, on the Allegheny Valley
railroad. A young woman named
Mary Ann Collins, who had been EN-
ployed In the mill three or four years,
had been assigned to new position in
the second story, In which there Is II
large trap-door immediately over u
vat on the ground floor. Miss Collins
had been called from another part of
the room to assist In dumping a box
of rags. She started to answer the
call, and walked into the hatchway,
which was obscured by steam arising
from the vat Of boiling water and
vitriol. She was precipitated directly
into the vat, and must have died very
speedily. In three minutes after she
fell her body was taken out scalded
white. 1t seems that she had pre-
monition OF death In this manner, and
had remarked several times that the
vat would be the death of her. She
was sixteen years of age.

Yesterday there passed through the

If of Archer county, having in charge
man named Joel Rayland, who some
three weeks ago cut his fathers throat,
who was asleep, from ear to ear. After
committing the deed, Rayland cut of
the ears OF the corpse, which he
sewed on his hat. He was arrested,
tried by the authorities and adjudged
insane; yet during his trial, he

Excitement over the Failure Of Meter
a. 90. Passed Away.

New YORK, December 20. The Post
In it's financial article says the excite
ment of yesterday, caused by the sus-
pension of Meter e. Co, and by the
fear that collaterals from them were
not safe, has passed away since 1t has
been ascertained that the collaterals
could be obtained by taking up the
loahs made to Meter d Co. on them.
Nearly all these collAterals have been
covered. The amount OF loans to which
Meter & Co. were a party was three
million dollars. AS We learn ut their
office, the collaterals on these will oil
have been obtained at cost to the
owners OF the collateral of from $780,
900 to $780, for which Meter IL Co.
will be responsible. The firm have
wealthy connections, ana 1t is not Inn

forthcoming.

mony mostly from those who witt

particularly severe on n fisherman Of
Nagshead, named Evans O'Neil, who
WAS the first to see the wreck. AT half.
past one o'clock a. m, he was out hunt.
ing wild fowl, and saw the vessel be-
fore she struck saw her strand, and
heard the screams of those on board,
and yet neglected to give warning To
the life saving station. He had a good
boat, the wind was In his favor, and
the water to Roanoke Island was COM
paratively smooth, and he could have
given the information in twenty min
utes, as the distance was two miles and
Il half away. He however went home
and ate his breakfast, and did not re
turn 70 the wreck Till seven O'Clock.
Lieutenant Walton thinks that had
the life saving station been Ia opera
ton, or had the keeper of the station
received timely notice, nearly If not
all OF those on board the Huron could
have been saved. The bodies of those
who persisted were robbed as they Were
washed ashore, and out of ninety.one
bodies, twelve OF which were officers,
not single trinket which would be
treasured as a relic by the relatives re-
manned. Watches, money and even
rings were stripped Oft by those who
first found the bodies. Lieutenant
Walton says that such actions as these,
together with the inhuman conduct OF
Evan O'Neal, casts stigma and re,
proach on the inhabitants residing on
the beach along the coast from Cape
Henry to Cape Hatteras, He advises
that the Keepers of life saving stations
be invested with the powers and duties
of inspectors of customs, which will
prevent such disgraceful actions in
cases of shipwreck. The report re-
lieves the mem bers OF the life saving
stations from any blame.
