A Shocking Accident.

/; A Shocking Accident.
From our Bavaria correspondent,
Occasional" we have received the
details of the dreadful accident which
occurred at Bavaria at 4:30 O'Clock, on
last Monday morning. A brakeman
named Charles d. Carson, while en-.
gagged in switching there, fell across
the rail and was instantly run over
before he was missed. His comrades
found the poor fellows head severed
from his body-the head lying on the
inside of the track and the body on
the outside. 1t was a horrible specta-
Gle. His train companions were af-
fected to tears. He was greatly loved
by them. The conductor was the
principal witness at the coroner's in
quest. He stated that Carson was
sober, quiet, industrious and well-in-
formed. Before his untimely taking
off he was in good health and spirits.
He was q new hand at railroading.
The theory Is that he was carelessly
sitting on the end Of an empty coal car
truck, when jerk Of the engine threw
him off He was an unmarried man.
Hon. e. r. Paige.
Tn few years Mr.. Paige. who pre-
sides at the second banquet Of the
Union Lecture and Entertainment
Course at the Opera House on Thurs
day evening. December %, has achiev-
ed a national. reputation. His success
has no parallel i'm the history Of the
lecture platform. The almost extrav-
agant and unvarying praise of the press
has never before been accorded to q
lecture on science. From Boston to
California he has filled the largest
auditoriums with instructed and de-
lighted audiences, and the rapidly
growing demand for scientific lectures
and the uniform success Of scientific
courses, during the last few years, are
attributed to a great extent to the in
fluence of his lectures, which not only
entertain and delight but instruct.
In the science field he has no peer on
this continent. and his lectures, in inter.
est, i'm grandeur, in scope, In accuracy
and simplicity, have no equal in this
country or in Europe.

Jackson Rhines. The officers were
elected as follows: President, Lewis
Hanback, Vice-President, d. B. Pow
ers; Secretary, c. c. Culp. The stock
holders agreed upon an assessment Of
% per cent, making the reserve stock
over s7OO, 900, which leaves the compa-
ny in the very best of shape. ID. B.
Powers, General Manager, was called
upon to state what he thought about
the property Of the company. His re-
port was lengthy but very satisfactory.
At the close of his remarks the stock
holders rendered thanks to Mr.. Powers
for his report. With the reserved stock
above spoken of, backed up by the
Virginia Belle, Plume and other mines
of the company, the future success Of
their mining operations Is placed In
a most flattering condition. The
property in Colorado stands at the
head, and no new company has any
better credit than this one. Prepare
tions are being made for very extensive
work in the spring.
