"MAMIE Is DYING"
. ,..,hIus Message licked Out BY the rtls.
graph on Christmas Eve.

mamie is dying"
T%sse were the words that the
,.,aaNph key clicked upon the silence
M @af had fallen upon the station of
''r%;cb John Heathcote was in charge.
" N was Christmas eve, and for nearly
INV hours the man had sat there, the
i U"Ir occupant of the little room in
U ~L;cb his business as telegraph oper-
' " and depot master was transacted.
To had listened in a mechanical sort
IA way to the messages that were
Sasbine over the wires-orders con-
cerning the movements of trains,
Sr;ef commercial messages, telling in
t S language the state of the mar
Iots in all parts of the world, Christ
mas greetings from friends and rela-
lives : who sought to make separation
less painful by an interchange of
kindly words and sentiments-and in
tbe midst of them all came those three
words to his ofiice--three little words
that meant sorrow and desolate hearts
IN some household on the morrow,
the day when peace and JOY and good
will should reign everywhere supreme.
And so, as John Heathcote placed
the message in an envelope and sent
4 by his officc-boy to an address with
which he was not familiar, there was,
perhaps, the suspicion of a tear glis-
ttening in his honesteye, and mayhap
the hal d that penned the address
trembled little, for he had wife and
children of his own, had John Heath
cote, and it came to him with awful
force how cheerless his life would be
were one of his little pairs of arms
that each morning twined so lovingly
around his neck to be folded across a
heart that was stilled forever, and the
deep brown eyes be closed in the
dreamless sleep of death.
And while he was thus still thinking
there came again the nervous click of
the instrument, and as he answered
the call he felt instinctively that the
message he was to receive would
bring more bad news. And he was
right.
Mamie is dead; I will be home in
the morning." were the words that
came to him over the wires, and then
the tears in honest John Heathcote S
eyes were plain enough, and he was
not ashamed that he had wept at the
sorrows Of people all unknown to
him.
When the morning train from the
west came laundering into the little
town where John Heathcote lived, he
was standing upon the platform. His
hours of duty had ended some time
before, but he could not bear to leave
until he had seen the man whose
name was signed to the dispatches of
the previous night. A sleigh came to
the depot, and the driver had said
incidentally that he was to meet Jones.
When the train arrived a weary-look-
ing man stepped from one of the cars,
and the driver of the sleigh approached
MIN. John Heathcote was. standing
within a few feet of them.
Good morning, Mr.. JONES'" said
the driver.
Good morning, john"
so Mamie is dead?" asked the
man.
YES" was the reply, in low, agita-
ted tones, land she would have beaten
2:2O next season."
John Heathcote went away

CRUSHED TO DEATH.

Thomas TostkG Caught Beneath Load
of Lumber and Instantly KiIled
Thomas Vosika, an Austrian, who had
resided at 1712 California street on the
East side, met with q fatal accident yester-
day. He was employed by S. D. Todd &
Co., of the Lamoreaux saw mill, located at
the east end of Plymouth avenue bridge,
as teanster.
When the forward wheels were
being baceed under the front
end of load of lumbe
which had been piled upon the hind axle,
as is the usual custom IN loading lumber,
with a horse beneath the front end, he
went under the load to hold up the ''reach''
the tn forward forward portion of "iia the
running gear. The team in
backing knocked the horse down, and the
load fell upon the man killing him in
stantly. The lumber was short, or the
accident could not have happened, and in
making a connection with such lumber
the men are expected to use a pole and
not go beneath the load. No one is blam-
able except the unfortunate man himself.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The United States
consul general at Matamoras sent tele-
gram to the department of state in regard
to the action of the authorities of Louisi
ana in subjecting all vessels from Mexican
ports to quarantine as follows: The state
of Louisiana has quarantined all Mexisan
ports. This is very unjust to Matamoras.
There is no infectious disease near here.
The city is remarkably healthy. There is
strict quarantine here against Vera Cruz,
Tampico, and all points south of 25 north
latitude, and under control of quarantine
office. New Orleans quarantine again at
the Matamoras is needless and inflicts
great damage. Cannot some measure be
taken to have it removed until there shall
be cause. The telegram was referred to
the treasury department and will be by
that department referred to the Louisiana
board of health.
The secretary of war has declined to re-
woke the order for trial By court-martial

BECK SNUBBED.

Special Telegram to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The statements
in the Louisville Press that Senator Beck
was snubbed at the presidents reception
in Louisville are true. None will regret it
more than the president himself. The lat
ter recognized Senator Beck as the chief
man of those who came here to invite him
to the exposition, and it was the active
part taken by Senator Beck on the move
ment to secure his attendance that had
muchto do with his acceptance. There is
another reason why the president will re-
gret such an occurrence as is reported
which is based on an awkward mistake
which was made at the Soldiers home
when the Kentucky committee of invita-
tion, at the head of which was Senator
Beck, called on him by appointment to
present their invitation. The committee
was to meet the president at 1 o'clock. Just
as it was leaving the city to drive out to his
quarters, Commissioner Evans, then few
days old in Washington, appeared and
joined the party. On arriving at the SOL
diers' home Mr.. Evans went in first and
sent card to the president. The commit
tee sat down in the reception room, the
members congratulating each other that
by rapid driving they had arrived so as
not to keep the president waiting. Hall
an hour passed without word from Mr.
Arthur. When an hour had gone the stock

bers sought to conceal their impatience

present by appointment and had beer

quarter the patience of all was about ex
hausted, and Mr.. Beck took occasion tc
express himself quite emphatically in re
gard to the treatment of gentlemen fol
whom an appointment had been made
when five minutes later-that is, an houl
and a quarter after Mr.. Evans sent up hi
card-the door opened and the Presiden
entered. -
He looked around with unmistable sur
prise. He said: Gentlemen, I had NJ
idea there was any one here but Mr.
Evans" Then, advancing and shaking
hands with Senator Beck, he again assured
him that he had not been informed tina
his committee had arrived, that he hat
only received the card of Mr.. Evans, anC
that if he had had the least idea the Louis
Vile committee were in waiting, he woult
have seen them at once. The presiden
was evidently much annoyed over the mat
ter, and before the committee left he wa
very emphatic in again explaining tn
matter. He had only received the card o

All this time Mr.. Evans was doing his only
bushing since he entered public life.
When the committee withdrew, Mr.. Evans
insisted that while he had only sent up his
own card, he told the messenger who was
with him. This will always be disputed
point in the official history of Commissioner
Evans. The president was solicitous that
Senator Beck should understand that he
would not keep him in his reception room
without sending him any word. He will
without doubt feel much annoyed over the
published statements that the senator was
snubbed at the Louisville reception.
