About u O'Clock last night our reporter
was informed that a man had just been
killed by a train near the old Dallas &.
Wichita depot. lie at once hurried off to
get particulars. All he could learn was
that an unknown man had been killed by
freight train and thrown car Off
the track, which car at this writing
is still lying on top of the body,
a force of men lacking it up so as to get the
body out. The car under which the man
was caught bad been standing on side
track and a little after II o'clock freight
train hitched on to it and started off, but
went some thirty or forty yards when it was
thrown from the track The conjecture is
that the man was asleep under the car
and that when it started to move
the noise awakened him, and that he
reached up and caught hold OF some part of
the car, being frightened out of his discre-
ton, as he was dragged fully forty or fifty
yards. u Is thought that as The car ia
creased in speed he was jerked under the
wheels and killed, thereby causing the car
to jump the rails. He was a man rather
good looking and about thirty years of age.

ita train. He has five children dead. He
is practical colonist and half a dozen cou-
pies like him and his good WIFE, who in the
days of Napoleon would have commanded

The HERALD ofyesterday morning gave
an account Of the killing the night before OF
a man by a freight car on the Dallas &
Wichita road, near the gas works. An in
q nest was held yesterday by Justice Ed
wards, ex-oilicio coroner, but no facts other
than those already given in the HERALD as
TO the manner and cause Of the unfortunate
mans death were ELECTED. The body
was shockingly mangled and the face was
mashed and torn beyond recognition. He
had upon his person a letter but recently
written addressed to a railroad official ask
ing fora situation and signed John Melvin.
IL is presumed from this that the mans
name was Melvin. II was said by some
yesterday that the man had worked on the
construction Of the Chicago, Texas q Next
can Central railroad at one time Under
taker Ed G. Smith buried the body.

GREAT eIorts, it is reported, are being
madeto attract American capital to Europe.
English local bonds, country seats and
farming lands are being freely advertised in
American papers. Truly, the star Of em-

since all other nations looked to Europe for
capital, and it in turn never thought of
going abroad for money.

Interesting Discoveries.

Important discoveries of the largest
ancient ruins yet found on this conti-
nent, which extend for a distance of
10 miles up and down the banks of
the Las Animas river, about 40 miles
from Durango, in Rio Grande coun-
ty, New Mexico. have recently been
made. p. 0. Inspector Cameron,
who visited these ruins lately, be-
lieyes the ancient villages We're occu.
pied by the Moqui Indians. and not
Oy the Aztecs. as is generally suppos-
ed. He speaks ofdiscovering stone
ruin 4OOx450 feet. which at one time,
evidently, was three stories high.
The walls are five feet thick. There
were about $50 rooms in the building
OF ten feet square each. An enter
prisihg Yankee, who has pre-empted
as government land the ground on
which the ruins stand, has been do
ing a fine business selling relics to
visitors. A discovery thought i'm
portant by the gentleman of the Bu-
reau of Ethnology was lately made
there of thirteen human skeletons in
a subterranean chamber of the build
ing mentioned. This had evidently
been used as burial vault. They
were wrapped up carefully in kind
of coarse cloth, and bore close re-
semblance to Egyptian mummies.
This cloth was of cotton, and woven
withso much skillas ifdone at the pres
ent day. which is considered not the
least interesting part of the discovery.
The skeletons were perfectly preserv-
ed and clean. They were unmistak.
ably those of Indians. A quantity
of pottery of best make wac also fou nd
in this tomb.

A correspondent of the Homecoming
Reutea0 has been doing some figuring
ON the liquor traffic in that place.
There are 26 places for the sale of
liquor in the town, and rumor has it
six more are to be started. The cor.
respondent figures that the combined
liquor business of the town amounts
at low estimate to $40. 900, per year,
and says:
This amout divided among the
twenty-six saloons and whiskey stores
will make the sales of each, saw,
81 1888. OF course all do not sell an
equal amount. We will take the
population of this town at 5000 per-
sens. men, women and children. The
women and children will number
1000. This leaves 1000 men to do
the drinking, and all of them do not
drink but few women do, though
they are few. We will say that one
fifth of the men do not drink; that
will leave 800 persons to pay yearly
this forty thousand dollars, Divide
this and we find exactly fifty dollars
for each. We count the sales of drink
at $40, 900 yearly. A low estimate OF
the profits on whiskey and beer is
800 per cent; this will! leave a net
profit of thirty thousand dollars in
round numbers. eleven hundred and
fifty dollars for each seller.

The Luxuries Of Florida.

Our Northern visitors are only too
easily induced to visit Florida for the
sake of its genial and salubrious eli.
mate IN the winter season, but many
luxuries may be indulged in here.
TIE hotels generally are first class in
most OF their appointments. Manv
OF them are immense in size and still
larger ones are now being ccnstruc.
ted. And such, too, will likely be
tne case for many years to come. The
increase of visitors in the winter inst
passed has been two.fifths greater
than eyer before, hence the hotels
nave been overcrowded and the
charges have advanced. But luxur.
les indeed are the delicious frnits that
are or may be produced to any ex-
tent. of course the orange is pre-
eminent, while the lemon. banana.
pineapple. guaya. fig, Japanese plum.
sugar-apple. melons, bread fruit. CO.
coanut' pecan nut and even the al.
mond, grow as if the climate and soil
were especially adapted to them. As
to the pineapple, a single planter.
VINO last year produced 40, 900. saws
that ne expects this seasons that his
yield will be at least 10000
When the people here and those
that snail come shall have learned
that this soil may be made to produce
many fold its present production by
the use of fertilizers so cheap and
abundant, it is difficult to forecast
even the probable future of this State.
1t should not be understood that
Florida is mere plain, with slight
undulations OH its surface. On the
contrary a considerable of it is rolling
and hiily land, and it is in such terri
tory that the fresh water lakes of
which speak are chiefly found. The
lakes are filled with pure crystal
spring water, having no inlet other
than the springs below and with com.
paratlvely small outlets.-PhiIa. Cor.
