Reports come from Mexico of the
discovery near La Paz of the largest
pearl the world has ever seen. 1t is
of light color and oval form, one inch
in length and three quarters of an inch
thick at its shortest diameter, and of
surprising lustre. No doubt the oys-
ter was glad to be put out of its mis-
cry, for its tenant was too big to be
accommodated and too big to be dis

One of the most singular and almos
unexplainable accidents ever recorded
occurred on the Circle Railroad last
evening, not the least singular part Of
which was the narrow escape from
death made by several passengers and
employees of the company. Some of
the details and the absence Of serious
re ults from the accident seem almost
incredible. The story, as obtained from
the engineer and fireman, is as follows:
1t seems that o few minutes Of nine
o'clock last evening, as the last train
on the Circle Railroad was leaving the
Exposition, with five passengers, En-
gineer Jenkins saw what he supposed
TO be an obstruction on the track, but
not realizing III the darkness what the
obstruction was, he notified the fire.

and conductor (named Hsrris) imme-
dlately jumped. the latter, urfOrtun-
ately, striking q switch plate, breaking
two of his ribs on the left side lust
over the heart. He was taken into
saloon opposite the Exposition build
ing, and DR.. Wright, the physician of
the Union Pacific Railroad, called in.
The straugest part OF tho story re-
mains 10 be told: The engine, freed
from all restraint, fairly f5w along the
track with constantly accelerated We
| locity, sweeping around curves and
| over trestles with trightful speed, like
! some fiery mo-steT OF the night, f0Z
three miles and q nalf. Two of the
passengers jumpe6 from the train, the
remaining three, two gentlemen and
| lady, maintaining their positions un~
harmed. In an incredibly short space
Of time the train reached the Larimer-
stree. depot, striking with terrible force
an empty .passenger-car standing on
the end Of the track and forcing ii
bodily through he fruit-stand in the
northern part OF the ststion, making Il.

and coming to q .tandstill just as the
forward END OF the Car reached Larlmef

and demOiishing the tender of the en-
| ginc. The engine itself did not seem
TO BE- badly injured, snd the car which
! shared its wild flight escaped with the
loss of It's front platform. The three
passengers seemed none the worse for
their terribls ride beyond a severe
shaking up. Conductor Harris, al
though severely Injured, As the train
miraeulously kept the track and met
with no obstacles at the numerous
crossings i. was compelled to cross in
! its wild fight.
Orders were given to clear the
wreck at once, and traius will run as
