PITTsBURG, August l8.-One of the
most dastardly and cold blooded attempts
to wreck train was made last night at
the first trestle this side Of Alleguippe
Station, on the Pittsburg g. Lake Erie
railroad AT Alleguippe yesterday there
was picnic which was attended by some
thousand or nose men, women and chill
dren, filing some half dozen coaches.
On the return from Alleguippe
the train was going at rapid rate, and
just before entering upon the first trestle,
the engineer discovered large beam lying
across the track, and the discovery was
made just in time to enable him to stop
the train. Had his attention been attracted
in another direction but for moment
before, the train would have been
precipitated to the ground below, a distance
of forty feet, and with the precipitation
there would have been terrible loss of
life. Who put the obstruction on the
track, or what motive tempted the fends
to engage in such an attempt at wholesale
murder, is of course unknown. There can
be no doubt that the beam was laid across
the track for the express purpose
of wrecking that particular train.
The excitement produced by the discovery
among the passengers was so great that
for the remainder of the trip there was
much less joy than there bad been. The
railroad authorities have offered reward
of five hundred dollars for information
thatwill lead to the detection of the would
be train wreckers.

JUDGE j f Simmons, formerly of
Sardis, Mississippi, and author Of a
book of poems, recently received a
letter from his publishers, j. B. lip
pincott 4 Co., stating that the book
had proved a profit both to them and
to him. Poetry does not usually pay;
at least, in the lifetime Of the poet.
The market is always overstocked
with verse, but the demand is light.
Judge Simmons is to be congratulated
upon his success. He is one of the
few born to make poems pay. He is
now engaged in the more prosaic work
of editing a semi weekly paper at
Henderson, Kentucky, and If he fol-
lows that as persistently as he formerly
courted the muses. the poetry will
soon be all knocked out Of him. If he
can write even a good piece of spring
poetry by middle of next May he will
ke doing well.

The half breed organs say that the
debt settlement made by the Legislature
is not settlement because 1t received the
assent, as they ahege, of the holders OF
only 100000 Of the S20,0O0,OO0 of bon s.
But what have the organs TO say about the
$7,000,000 already funded and the other
bonds that are rapidly coming in to be
converted?-[ Nashville American.
And what do the sky blue organs
propose to do for the holders Of sew
eraI millions of dollars in bonds who
for various reasons may not fund by
the end of the year. The 6O-3-6 bill
was intended as force bill. 1t says
to the bondhelder whether he is a
minor heir at home, an American
travelling abroad or foreigner in
some remote part of the world, you
must fund before the end of the
present year, when the term of our
Funding Board virtually ends, or you
are shut out altogether Thus it is
sought to repudiate all the
bonds which for any reason
may not or cannot be funded within a
few months. No large debt like this
was ever refunded in so short a time.
1t is impracticable, for even the diff
ferences of opinion and doubts that
exist would prevent such a wholesale
refunding. Then above all there re.
mains the undeniable fact that the
holders Of bonds amounting in the
aggregate to several millions Of dol
lars, have never agreed to take
6O-3-4-5-6, or any other figure less
than full face value and per cent
accrued and future interest. What do
the sky blues, who have elected them
selves to be the custodians of State
credit and to hold all the Federal Offices
when the national Democratic party
comes into power-whst do they
propose to do for this Glass, and how
much better is their position than the
Bate platform, which promises TO PAY
few millions of unquestioned debtin
full, and to OFFER to creditors 50-3 on
that remaining, which is in disputed
The logic of the whole situation and
business is that the sky blues are the

THE National Board Of Health
Just as we halfsuspected-is not dead;
nor will it die while there is fifty
thousand dollars in sight. Although
snubbed by Congress, by the Presi-
dent and by Secretary Folger, it is
still in the field and ready for its
rations. There wassa time, not more
perilous than the present, when it was
announced that the board could not
possibly get along on less than half a
million dollars for one season;
now it will probably tide ever com
fortably on $4,000. That will pay for
sweeping out the Office, a few nice
little excursions and other essentials.
Comptroller Lawrence has come to
the relief Of the Board, and gives an
opinion that the National Board Of
Health will be authorized to select
local boards and run quarantine sta
tions, and will be entitled to aid from
the $4,000 appropriation. This will
keep life in the body until another
Congress meets, unless, indeed, Attor.
ney General Brewster or the President
should have different opinion.

SCOTTISH DUST
Being Invested In Arkansaw Dirt
An Enormous Purchase.
Little Rock Gazette, II.

IlJtle hOck dazettot II.
The Dundee Land Company, Of
Scotland, closed very important
piece of business in this city yester.
day, by which it became the posses
sor of forty-four thousand acres Of
Arkansaw timber land. The property
in question is situated in the counties
Of Mississippi and Crittenden, and is
said to be as fine tract Of timber as
exists in the United States. 1t was
purchased from the Fowkles heirs, of
Memphis, through Collins & BaIch,
prominent attorneys of Little Rock.
DR.. Fl. r. Allen, of Indianapolis, is the
only member of the company residing
in the United States. The report is
that this company is now arranging to
purchase the Jones entry, in Cross
county, a tract Of very fine timber,
and probably as we'll known to land
men as any piece Of real estate in the
Southwest. The Dundee Company
desire to start in business as soon as
they possess 10000 acres, which
promises to be in the near future.
When they do commence they will
put up, according to rumor, dozen
large saw mills, and engage in the
lumber trade to the fullest extent.
