THE FATAL GLAss-Mr. Chica, of
Lensburg, LIE Sueur county, got on u
spree last week, Monday, at Montgomery,
and offered to wager that he could swal-
low the glass contained in whisky flask
The wager was taken up by one of the
party present, whereupon the drunken
man proceeded to swallow the pulverized
glass, and also o tallow candle. Strange
to relate, that night he felt no ill effects
caused by the rash deed, but next day
the glass began to cut and grind his bow
els, compelling the man to writhe and
scream in agony. This continued until
Thursday morning, when the poor wretch
was brought TO New Prague in the delu-
sive hope that q physician could save
him from his inevitable and fast ap-
preaching death. OF course no physi.
clans skill could now save or even pro.
long the life which had beel. 80 delibe-
rately though unknowingly taken. 1t
was Pitifui and heaitTeIiDg 10 hear tho
poor mortal moan and scream in agony
as the death dealing glass slowly but
constantly cut its way into the vitals.
This could not long continue, however,
and death kindly relieved the suffering
man Thursday afternoon. A post mof-
TEN examination was held and the mans
stomach and intestines were found TO be
literally ground to pieces.
A wife and nine children are left de-
pendent by the foolishneSs Of man
crazed by drink. This may prove q
timely warning to those addicted to the
excessive use ofa substance as deadly in
its final effects rs that swallowed by the
man .who came to so untimely an end.

HIS "REcoMMEND." Some time
since Detroit merchant was in want of
n clerk, and he advertised the fact.
Among the numerous applicants who
sent in recommendation was n young
man who had shortly before received a
letter from the old man Blank, to the eff
feet that any further visits to his house
on the part of the young man could not
be permitted, and that "Mary's" future
husband was already selected. In his
haste and excitement nc forwarded this
note in place of recommendation from
mercantile house, and on discovering
his mistake he called upon the merchant
to secure the missive.
"Ah !' eaid the merchant, as the young
man entered, "you can begin here to-
morrow. I was about to write you"
"That-that letter." began the
young man, but the merchant Interrupt

attention for ages. and one, too, that has
been argued pro and con with great abil-
ity by many learned and eminent men.

present day, however, is that the moon is

The Rsiir0aa Disa ster Ia Michigan
DETROIT, Oct. 11.-Following is
correct list of the names of the
killed by the Michigan Central
Railroad disaster, so far as known
up to noon to-day:
Milton Gilbert, engineer, Detroit;
Christopher b. Smith, fireman, De-
lroit; VIM. John Rice, Philadel-
phia; Mrs. Mary Garland, Phila-
delphia; Annie Garland, aged 10,

da; infant daughter of Mrs. George
Jones, of Shenandoah, Pa, IS
months old; an unknown man, ev-
identity Canadian, 25 years old,
five feet six inches in height, short,
black hair.
The wounded are all doing well,
and no more deaths are likely to
result. The best of care is being
bestowed upon them by the railway
company.
The Investigation before the Cor
oner's jury, composed of leading
citizens of Jackson, has been in
progress all the forenoon taking ev-
idence of railway officials and en-
ployes. 1t seems from their testi-
mony,that Colwell, the yard mas.
ter; Sawyer, the switchman, and
Jones, the engineer of the switch
engine, are all alike responsible,
and that all were guilty of both
bad judgment and the violation of
the rules of the company.
The Capture OF Cabui-rhe Ameer
Prisoner.
LONDON, Oct. 13.-Special dis
patches from Afghanistan contain
the following: The Ameer is
strictly guarded in Sir Frederick
Roberts's camp. 1t is hard to be-
lieve that Yakoob Kahn was not
aware that his army had taken up
a p Jsition to oppose the British adj
vance upon Cabul. On the 9th in
slant, the day of the defeat of the
Afghan army before Cabul, the
Ameer's messengers were passing
every few hours to and from Cabul
by road held by Cabul troops.
The loss to the Afghans in the af-
fair of the 9th is estimated at 400
men killed.
LONDON, Oct. 13.-A special
dated Oct. 10th from the British
camp before Cabul says; When the
cavalry returned from pursuit of the
enemy, the evening of the 9th,
they rode through Cabul. Some
shops and bazars were open, the
people sitting about, and all quiet.
A special from Allahabad says:
No quarter was given anyone found
firing on the British, and prisoners
taken in the fight were shot. The
leaders of the mutineers are the
Ameer's most trusted friends.

RAwLINs, Oct. 13.-Mr. Emmit
Weber and George Fisher, two
couriers, have just arrived from
what was few days ago the White
River Agency. From them | learn
the following particulars: Gen.
Merritt advanced upon the agency
on the 18th instant. On his way
he found many dead bodies, among
others the body OF Carl Goldstein,
an Israelite, who left here with
Government supplies for the Utes
at White River Agency. He was
found in a gulch six miles this
side of the agency. He was shot
twice through the shoulder and
was about two miles from his wag-
Ons. A teamster named Julius
Moore, formerly from cambridge,
Massachusetts, who was with him
when he left here, was found about
one hundred yards from Goldstein.
with two bullet holes in his breast
and his body hacked and mutilated
with a knife or Ratchet. AS the
command advanced through the
cafion they came to an old coal
nine, and in it was found the dead
body of an agency employe named
Dresser. He had evidently been
wounded and crawled into the
mine to die. His coat was folded
up and placed under his head for a
pillow; beside him lay a Winches-
ter rifle containing eight shots. In
one of his pockets II letter was
found which as near as the courier
can remember was as follows:
WHITE RIVER, Sept. 29-1 P. NJ.
