The demand for heavy horses at pres
ent exceeds that of ally former year
Buyers are securing the country for
''big" colts. A word of caution is not
out of place here. Breeders are some
times apt to overlook quality provided
they find size. Discrimination should
be used in selecting stations of this kind
as well as other kinds. The strong de-
mand is calculated to make buyers less
exacting in regard to quality, and this
will not fail to result, in some cases, in
loss by and by. The shrewd breeder
will look out and select his breeding stock
with view to securing all the weight de
sired combined with attractive and desir-
able points that will insure a salabie
horse at any time. Without disparaging
horses of other heavy breeds it is proper
to say that the English draft or shire
horses are rapidly gaining in public favor
as they seem to combine the desirable
qualities for improving the small com
mon stocks i'll the United States. They
are very compact in construction, heavy
IN bone and muscle, are very active and
have strong constitution. Breeders
will do we'll to look into the merits of
the English draft horse.

HE SCENERY AT WRANGEL LAND
OF the eastern side of Wrangel land, and
evidently lying between it and another
undiscovered shore, is during the open
season an open lane of water leading to
the north as far as the eye can reach,
through which a current flows steadily
north at the rate of 20 or 25 miles a day.
This current flows ike river between
two ice-bound banks, the shore ice on
either side appearing not to have been
disturbed for years, and possibly for
ages. The coast line OF Wrangel land
was visible as far as the eye could reach.
Ii presented bold and mountainous ap-
pearanee. The absence OF any material
disturbance of the shore ice is accepted
as proof that there is another large
tract Of land lying east of Wrangel land,
limiting the area OF water and making it
impossible for counter ocean currents TO
the one mentioned to exist. Wild geese,
accompanied by their young, have been
seen coming from the region Of the pole,
showing the presence of land and fresh
water.

New YORK, Dec. 9.-The case of J.
Howard Welles, the stock broker who
sent threatening letters to Jay Gould, is
before the grand jury. Welles, who is
still in the Toombs, is visited by few
excepting his counsel, and is said to be
extremely reserved in his behavior. Jus
tice Mcneil and the Justices clerk visit
him occasionally. He still claims that he
lost quarter of million dollars in Wall
street aud still charges that Jay Gould
and other spectators ruined him. He
seldom exercises In the corridors of the
Toombs in company with his fellow
prisoners, and when he does is careful
not to converse with any of them.

THE GREAT DISASTER.

ST.. LOUIS, December 9.-The Inflated
train which went through the st. Charles
bridge, over the Missouri River, last
night, was a freight, eastward bound,
No. II. By the schedule it crosses just
before the Warrentown accommodation,
meeting the latter at Brotherton, and
passing the engine and tender. Thirteen
cars loaded with live stock, and eighteen
with other freight and the caboose went
down. Three of the six men on the train
when it started over the bridge accom-
panied it on that wild leap of sixty-five
feet into the river channel.
That two of them escaped to tell of
their awful experience seems a miracle.
Five of the six are accounted for and one
is missing. Jack Kirksley, engineer,
stuck to his post. His body may still be
in the CAP, with his hand on the throttle,
or it may have been washed away-that
is a mystery yet unsolved. Fireman N.
Chamberlain was beside Kirksley, but
somehow he was forced through the cab
window and upon the top of the wreck
just above the surface of the water, where
he chung, calling for help until Charles
Spinks and A. Dolson, the latter the
bridge watchman, had manned skiff
and rescued him. He was fit subject
for the surgeon. Both bones of the left
leg below the knee were fractured. Doc
tors Stumburg and kirschner made him
as comfortable as possible, and he was
put into the best bed in the Galt House.
Brakeman Charles S. Oblinger lives to
be pointed out as the other of the two
men who went down into that awful
abyss. He WAS on the third car from
tho engine and he fell, all giving away
beneath him. He dropped fiat on the
top of the car and touched the foot board;
then the car he was on doubled over the
one IN front and stood out of the water
half its height. His cries brought one
of the numerous skiffs manned as soon
as the alarm was given, and he was
brought ashore. Half dozen cuts and
some aggravated bruises composed the
extent of his injuries. He was cared for
at the Gait House, and there is every
prospect that he will be out soon. These
were the only men who accompanied the
train to its destruction. Oblinger has
family at Moberly. Chamberlain home
is at Tyremo. Kirksley S body, if found,
will be taken back to MobeIry.

FEARFUL HOLOCAUST.

VIENNA, Dec. 8.-The Ridge Theater,
formerly Comic Opera House, where
Sara Bernhardt recently performed, took
FIRE at tonight, just before the begin
ming of the opera Lies Contes de Hof-
man." The fire was caused by the fall
of a lamp on the stage. The house was
tolerably full ard the loss of life is great.
Up to the present time seventy bodies
have been recovered. Sixty were saved
by means of ladders and By jumping into
clothes shed below. The greatest eff
fort was made to save life. The scene
was terrible. the flames shooting up
through the roof and eventually quitting
the entire building.
VIENNA, Dec. S.-11 P. None hun
dred and forty-fve bodies were brought
out of the theater dead. Numerous
bodies were consumed in the galleries
and other elevated parts of the building.
The chief cause of the catastrophe was
that in the confusion the iron portion
separating the stage from the auditorium
was not lowered.
Thousands of people assembled in the
neighboriDg streets where they could
hear the cries of agony of people at the
windows of the theater praying to be saw
ed. The rapidity of the flames prevent
ed people from taking advantage Of the
ordinary exits.
Only small portion of the audience
saved themselves by leaping from The
windows three storses high into clothes
shed below.
At midnight the taking out of the
bodies from the theater continues. It is
estimated that 800 persons persisted.
Some bodies are fearfully disfgured.
Several persons were injured in SPRING
ing from the windows of the theater.
Among the missing are Herr Fife,
court musical director, and Herr Hell
measperger.
Most of the bodies identified up to the
present time are those of tradesmen and
minor officials.
On the spreading of the news of the
disaster the performances at other the
aters were stopped.
1t is estimated the audience in the
theater numbered 1000. Many persons
were trampled to death in the panic
which ensued. As soon as the fire was
seen there was an explosion of gas, and
the audience were plunged in darkness.

A PLAGUE ON BOTH YOUR
HOUSES.

The Astors and the VanderbiIts are not
in the same social set. I don't know any
reason why they are not, unless it is that
Mr. William Waldorf Astor's grandfather
stopped peddling mink skins before Mr..
William Henry Vanderbilt's father had
finished rowing passengers between
Staten Island and the Battery Matters
of precedence at the court of Berlin,
when the grand dukes and things from
the Prussian principalities turn out on
state occasions, are not harder to adjust
than are the matters of social status on
Manhattan Island. 1t is stated that until
within the last six months q Vanderbilt
never received an invitation TO visit an
Astor house-not the Astor House.
Others assert that no Astor has ever al
lowed himself or herself to come in social
contact with Vanderbilt. Very natur-
ally Mr.. Vanderbilt, worth anywhere
from 500, 900, 900 plus, has felt more or
less disagreeable that he and his family
could not be received by man who is
worth no more than from 25 to 33 per
cent. as much as himself When Sir.
Astor became a candidate for congress,
Mr.. Vanderbilt saw his chances for poIit-
ical revenge for social Sights. It was
considered q foregone conclusion that the
democratic nominee would be beaten by
Astor. consequently no democrat could
be found who was eager for the empty
honor of being beaten, not to mention
the money he would be obliged to invest
to insure his defeat.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, SO my informant says,
went to Mr.. Flower and asked him to
accept the democratic nomination. Mr..
Flower said ''NO," in capital letters,
suggesting at the same time he was not
such blooming idiot as his name might
suggest. Mr.. Vanderbilt insisted, and
finally said that he would not only prom
ise that Mr.. Flower should be elected.
but that he would pay every cent OF the
expenses of the campaign necessary to
insure that result. Reluctantly, on these
conditions, Mr.. Flower consented to run
Mr.. Flower was elected. 1t is said
that Er. Astor spent 500, 600, and would
have spent more il he had seen anywhere
to put bis money. How much Mr.. Van
derbilt spent is unknown.

''Then," said the doctor. 'sshave at

your hot water, you can take your glass
of punch just before going to bed"
The minister afterward appeared to
improve in health and spirits. The doc
tof-met Peggy soon after, and said:
"I'm glad to hear, Peggy, that your
master is better"
Indeed, sir, he's better, but his brain S
affected; there's something wrong wi
his mind"

"Why, doctor, he used to shave at
