The First Train ON the Park I:ranch.

In our reference to the National
Park branch in yesterdays issue OF
the ENTERPRISE we omitted mention
| Of the irst passenger tram to run to
the terminus Of the line, which was
an important train, not only from
being the first to run over the COM
pleted line, but because Of the ele.
gance Of its make up and The distin-
guished passengers to whom the ears
belonged. It went out on Saturday
morning under the conductorship Of
"A. J. Bent, who, if we remember
Alright, was in charge Of the first Park
branch construction train, and has re-
manned on the road over since as con-
ductor of the regular and special pas
senger trains. Engineer T. J. Erwin,
with engine 1853, furnished the motive
Power. The train itself was made up
as follows: The special car Montana =
bearing Gen. Adna Anderson, chief
engineer Of the Northern Pacific, and
Col. J. B. Clough, engineer in
charge Of the Park branch; special
Of the Louisville & Nashville rail-
road occupied by D. W. C. Rowland
superintendent Of transportation On
that road accompanied by his party;
and last but not least the cars taken
up to the terminus for the use of the
Presidential party consisting of the
private car belonging to The general
manager Hewett of the G. & n. rail-
way, the Northern Pacific sleeper
s.Mandan" and a baggage car. This
Presidential train with it's occupants
was the first to return eastward over
the Park branch. The afternoon train
on this same day Saturday took up
the private car Railway Age which

An Old Mans Plant

Most everybody is dead. That is, all
the old folks. There are mighty few
left of the old stock that used to move
around so lively and take the lead in
business and public affairs. Some ofu
are getting lonesome now. The ranks
keep filling up, but we don't know the
new recruits. Old Father Time is a
conscript officer and he won't take any
substitutes nor give anybody bomb
proof place. There are no quarter
masters nor commissaries nor potash
getters in this war, but it is fight, fight,
fight all the time. Fight as they did at
Thermopyle, where there were only
three hundred against one million, and
there was no possible escape. Sooner
or later all of us have got to go. We
can't desert nor dodge nor play sick
nor shoot finger off, and there are no
furloughs and no pensions and no dis
charge. There is not even promo
ton for good conduct or noble daring.
There is nothing but to do and die.
Well, it's all right know or it
wouldn't have been so, but it grieves
me to hear the bell tolling all about
and to see the old stock passing away.

THE END.
Germs Of Disease.

1t is fortunate that only an infintesi-
mally small proportion of the germs of
disease that are always abroad in the
atmosphere can ever meet with the
combination of conditions that is essen
tial for their development. According
to Prof. Won Pettenkofer, of Munich, u
germ, ere it becomes capable of pro-
ducing actual disease, must not only
find a susceptible subject, but must also
find that subject in a favorable locality
and at favorable time; and, as disease
germs are not as rule very long lived,
the vast majority of them die without
encOuntering the necessary conditions.
If such were not the case it is certain
that the human race would speedily
cease to exist; for the Chief of the
Micrographical Department of the Paris
Observatory has recently discovered
that the number of disease germs of one
kind or another contained in a cubic
meter of the air of the French capital
is, in winter, 1000; in May, $4,000; in
June. $4,000; in August, $4,000; in Oc-
tober IA, 900; and in November, 5000,
and it can not be SUPP" sed that the at
mosphere in London and other large
cities is much less tainted than it is in
Paris, or that the air, even of country
districts, is wholly uncontaminated.-

MEMPHIS, TENN, Oct. s.
Memphis was visited tonight by another
destructive fire, which originated in Cole
& Co.'s oil, paint, door, sash and window.
blind store, Nos. 81 and 80 Union street,
between Main and Second The inffamma-
bic material kept in stock burned with such
tierceness that the firemen were unable to
confine the fire to the building where it
originated, and Greenlaw's Opera-house, to
the east, and only separated from the
burning building by a small alleyway, was
ignited, and together with Cole & COmpa-
ny's store completely destroyed. At
one time all the stores on Union street west
of the fire were threatened with destruc-
ton, together with the block fronting on
Main street south of Union, but the fire wall
to the west of Cole a. Company's store,
which extended about ten feet above
the next building, saved the others. AS
it was, the fire consumed an area of about
fifty feet fronting on Union street and $50
feet fronting on Second. 1t is impossible
to ascertain the exact amount of the losses
or insurance tonight, but the following is
fair estimate: Cole & Co.'s loss on stock,
10000; insured for about $4,000, equally
divided between home and foreign COM
panies. Building No. 80 Union street,
owned jointly by the Peoples Insurance
Company and the estate of j. o. Greenlaw,
valued at $4,000; insured for $4,000. Build
ing No. 80, owned by Mrs. S. E. Greenlaw,
same value; amount of insurance unknown;
Greenlaw Opera-house was owned by G..
b. Peters and the Peoples Insurance Com
pany George b. Peters also owned the
two stores in the north portion of the
massive structure. The two south stores
were owned by Campbell Wallace, of At
lanta, GA. Loss to the Opera house building
about $4,000; insurance not known, but
is light. The Mozart Society occupied the
second and third stories of the north
ern portion of the building, and lost
two fine pianos and other articles of value,
but are fully insured. Cole g. Co. used one
of their stores for lumber room, where
they stored large lot of blinds and sashes,
which were destroyed. Jack Walsh, un-
dertaker, occupied another store, but nearly
all his stock was removed. The two stores
in the south wing were occupied by the
Memphis Lumber Manufacturing Com
pany, who sustained serious loss by re-
moving stock. The fire created intense ex-
element, and drew nearly the entire popu-
lation to the scene of the conflagration.
The fremen worked herocally, and had
many narrow escapes from crumbling
walls, which were fallingon all sides. Hill,
Standish e. Co., Wholesale boots and shoes,

A TERRIBLE DEED.
The Unprovoked and Fatal Shooting OF

The UnprovOked and Fatal Shooting or
Police seargent PeIetiah NJ. jerks of st.
Louis by Bad Negroes.
ST.. LOUIS Mo, Oct. 3.
A terrible tragedy occurred this after
noon in which Seargent p. NJ jerks, one Of
the oldest and best officers on the st. Louis
police force was shot and mortally wound
ed by a disreputable negress named Sadie
Hill. The Seargent was making the rounds
of bis precinct when his attention was di-
rected to the woman Hill who, surrounded
by n crowd of onlookers was indulging in
violent language toward someone not then
in sight, and on going up to her and sezing
her by the left arm she Immediately turned
and before a word had been spoken sent
bullet crashing through his brain, inflicting
a wound from which the unfortunate man
died at 10:15 p. m. After shooting jerks,
and while he lay unconscious supported by
a young colored woman who had caught him
as he fell the virago, not content with
her bloody work, struck the pros
trate man savage blow in the face with
the butt of her pistol. Subsequently the
murderess was arrested, but not before she
had drawn her pistol and threatened to use
it on officer Condor, who went in search Of
her, but that officer got the drop on her and
compelled her to surrender.
The murdered officer was appointed a,
patrolman April 10, 1868. In little over a
years service his jealous and efficient ser,
vices caused him to be appointed a Ser
geant, his commission dating November %,
1869 He wore shield No. 3, attesting his
long and faithful connection with the de-
partment. He was just in the prime of
life, forty-two years of age He was a
model of physical development, courageous
as a lion in the discharge of his duty, and
as tender-hearted and conscientious as
lady. Of fine affections and strict religious
scruples. TO all he was attentive and ac-
commodating. On several occasions he
was mentioned as a probable Captain, and
his untimely death is about the only cause
that could prevent his ultimate accession
TO that dignity. He was a member of Polar
Star Lodge, Masonic; George Washington
Council of the United States Benevolent
Fraternity and Columbia Association of the
National American Association. His NOR
tuary benefits amount to $1,000.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY.
An Indian Doctor Murders His White Wife
and then Puts an End to His Own Ca
reer.

An Indian Doctor Murders His White Wife
and then Puts an End to His Own Ca
reer.
QUINCY, ILL.,, Oct. s.
One of the most sickening tragedies ever
enacted here took place just before noon to-
day on Twelfth street, north of Vermont.
For several years a full-blooded Indian,
who called himself DR.. 10. Rodgers, and
protested to cure diseases by Indian meth
DDS, has been living in this city with
white woman as his wife. They came here
from Galesburg, and the Doctor rented
rooms and lived mostly among the colored
people, ekeing out precarious existence
by his lamentations and sale of roots. His
wife is said to have been from Iowa, and is
respectfully connected, having on several
occasions lately stated that she intended to
visit her parents soon. The Indian seemed
very jealous of her, and numerous quarrels
resulted. Altogether the woman had a
hard time of it, and some months ago tried
to drown herself in the Mississippi, but was
rescued by the engineer of the Water-works
Company. To-day DIR. 10 settled every
thing by going behind his wife at the time
mentioned while she was before the kettle
and putting bullet through her head, and
then with the Same revolver putting one
through his own head. Death was insten>
tanteus to both.
