and married negro girl, at Danville, va.

Gy-A Bay City, Mich, paper says A
man came down from camp the other day
with $50 in his boots. He bought rail-
road ticket for his homo at Capac, and
then went out and got SO drunk that he

oB Mr.. George Smith, one of the horse
railroad employees, shows scar on the side
of his neck which was the result of rath-
er peculiar accident. Some days ago he
placed an inkstand of red ink near the
stove to thaw out and after the heat acted
upon it there was an explosion almost as
loud as the crack OF pistol, and a piece
of glass struck him in the neck, cutting an
ugly cash, which caused the blood to flow
freely. At first he thought he was shot,
and those who saw him Immediately after
were sickened at the sight of so much
gore, but they felt easier when it was
known that portion of it was red ink.

G% Mrs. Hatch or Mrs. Reilly she
bore these names alternately was for six
years unable to make final choice be-
tween two husbands in st. Louis. She
was remarkably handsome and the two
men were deeply in love with her, while
she seems to have been about equally in
love with each, and was bound to each
by marriage ceremony. She deserted
one and went to the other four times, on
each occasion declaring that her decision
was final. A few days ago she left Reilly
and began proceedings for divorce pre-
paratory to new marriage to Hatch The
rival husbands had for years threaten d to
kill each other. They agreed to meet in
the Office of mutual friend, who desired
to make peace between them but each
armed himself with a pistol, and on sight
they drew the weapons. Reilly was the
quickest, and Hatch was shot dead.
