i The Santa Fe Railroad company
have given an order for eight new en-
gines. 1t is probable that when the
cotton season sets in, theconlpany will
have almost more work than they can
| do. The line is in a most excellent
condition, and can make the boast that
not so much as a car wheel has been
off the track for six months, An Off
cial Of another line, in passing over the
road a short time since, remarked to
the Santa Fe man-'' ] on folks believe

poorly and get little" Few roads in
the country are in as good condition.

accident occurred on Broadway and
lSixteeuth streets. Little Aaale Cohen.
a bright child of seven years and nine
months, picked mp her hat and told the
servant she was going ont for while.
The woman paid no attention to her,
and after she had been missing for a
short while, Mrs. Cohen asked where
she was. No one could tell, but the
mother was informed of the remark
made by tine child. a messenger was
Immediately dispatched to the child}s
aunt, but only to learn she had not been
there. Inquiries were made Of all the
neighbors, but with no better success.
Then the premises were searched,
which proved useless, until the servant
thought Of looking into the cistern.
There to her horror she saw the little
girls hat floating on the water. Viii
ling hands came to the sad Office Of
resening the body. Life was extinct
when the little form was taken from
the water. Mr.. Cohen, who works for
L. d. II. Blum, was sent for. When
the fond father beheld his darling child,
who a few short hours before be had
left in health and happiness, his agony
was extreme. A fgttree loaded with
ripe fruit, and hanging over the cistern
is the supposed cause of the accident |
The covering over the eistern was
broken in and found floating onthe
water. 1t is quite evident that the lit
tie one in securing the figs, fell or
stepped on the top and it being unable
10 bear her weight, she was precipitated
in the water beneath. Most sincerely |
do the people of Galveston sympathize
with the bereaYed parents. May God
in His infinite mercy comfort them.
