A Terrible Accident.

From gentleman just up from
BastrOp, STATESMAN reporter
learned of Il horror that occurred there
last Friday morning, the particulars
of which have never before been given
the press. The facts are as follows:
Mrs. Green, wife of Mr.. J. Ross
Green, took the oil from a lamp and
poured it on her clothes about eight
o'clock in the morning, and, after
locking the door, set fire to herself.
Her terrible screams brought her hus-
band to the scene, who jumped into a
window she had left open, and tried
to quench the flames. His
efforts were futile, resulting
only in burning himself in a
horrible manner. He tainted during
the trying scene. Mrs. Green lived
until about half past 1 o'clock in the
afternoon. Mr.. Ross hands are so
dreadfully burned that it is. feared
that amputation will have to take
place.
The cause of the terrible deed is
supposed to be an attack of temporary
insanity. Mrs. Ross had, for years,
been subject to these attacks. they
sometimes lasting for several weeks.
Mr.. Ross has large circle of friends
and relatives who sympathize with
him in his great affection.

LOG ROLLING.
While Wrestling with a Fallen Tree
Lumberman Receives COnse-
nuanffaI nanaOaa


While on hunting excursion in the great
coal and wood region near Carbondale, Penn
sylvania, the writer met William Coil, a lum-
herman. Accustomed to life and labor in the
forest from early manhood, he was true
Knight of the Axe. Many a tree had fallen
before his ringing strokes, and fleets Of RATS
had borne away to market the sawed products.
Con is a character, and if Oscar Wilde is right
in saying that all movements in unhindered
labor are graceful, our friend William, stripped
for his work, and attacking a tree as Richard
|. assaulted the heavy doors of Front de Beuf's
castle, must have presented an admirable
picture.
One day, however-but let him tell the story
himself, as he told it to me:
Il was out in the woods, you know, trying to
start a log down hill. Thinking could get a
better purchase on it from the lower side, 1
tackled it there with my log-rolling hook and
threw my weight ON the lever She started,
she did. but as luck would have it, before 1
could get out of the way, she rolled right over
me. If it hadn't been for lot of small limbs
and brush lying in the road, which lifted her
UP, she'd crushed me fat As it was got
up without a broken bone, but with some
mighty bad bruises"
Then you were all right" said his auditor.
mot by blamed sight, stranger. took
cold, rheumatism set in, and, if hadn't heard
OF BENSON'S CAFFEINE POROUS PLAS-
TIERS and used 'em, it's my opinion should
never have made another chip fly. But the
Capcne took hold quick, and I'm bout as good
as new. But there's one thing you kin callxs
late on: shall never wrastle with another log
unless have the advantage of the ground
Fur, as 1 told you before, If it hadn't been for
them brushes I'd been smashed so, you couldn't

Beware of Substitutes.

The public should bear in mind that
limitations or substitutes of a standard
medicine are offered, not for any ben
eft to health, but to sell something
that has been bought cheap; and not
daring to criminate themselves by ex-
act copies, their object is to get as
near to it as is necessary to deceive.
The remedy to detect frauds is in your
own handt. Buy no Simmons Liver
Regulator unless encaSed in a White
Wrapper having large red 2 in the
centre and the signature of ]. H.
Zeilin & Co. on the side. DIV

The Wool Market.

The annual wool review of Messrs.
Manager & Avery, of 155 Federal
street, Boston. contains the following,
which will be found of special interest
to wool men:
The published statements of stocks
in the various markets, shows a re-
duction in amount as compared with
year ago, of several million pounds.
The falling off in Boston is most
marked in spite of the fact that the
receipts of domestic were about per
cent and foreign about 30 per cent
larger, while the aggregate of sales
was nearly 6 per cent less than in 1881.
This would indicate that a much lar
ger amount than Usual had been pur-
chased direct by manufacturers; and
unless the consumption has greatly
increased during the past year, the
supplies in hands of consumers are
considerably larger than was sup
posed.
1t is our opinion that the amount
held in the west will be about as large
as a year ago. The new year opens
with a somewhat uncertain aspect for
the wool trade. Manufacturers are
not over Sanguine as to the market for
heavy goods about opening, and while
the mills will most of them run, even
at a loss, it is hardly probable that the
demand will be sufficient to advance
prices to any extent, unless on special
grades. There will probably be no
general demand for wool until the
tariff question is disposed of. The
bill as proposed by the committee of
ways and means (as far as it relates to
wool is not likely to affect the value
of domestic fleeces.
Texas woods are rapidly becoming
an important part of the clip and
coming, as they do, among the first
woods upon the market in the spring,
the price at which they are marketed
has an important bearing on the
whole clip. The first shipment in the
spring arriving on a rather lightly
stocked market proving profitable,
but later invoices were less remunera-
tive, and the seasons business could
not be called satisfactory. Fall woods
proved more profitable to the grower
than the buyer. Stocks on hand in
the eastern market are somewhat
larger than a year ago.

Why so Well Received!

The Cleburne Chronicle is not IA
vorably impressed with Gov. Ireland's
inaugural: 1t finds it commonplace
and indefinite" and closes by remark
ing:
The only paragraphs of the inaugu-
raj that have drawn attention derive
their significance alone from the fact
that they conflict with the policy of
Gov. Roberts.
Just so. And those paragraphs are
to be found from the beginning to
the end of the inaugural, and that is
the chief reason why it is so well re-
ceived by the state at large.

went in operation yesterday with
drawing the public lands from mar
ket is, that it cannot affect parties
who had entered their files in the sur

of said act; hence, all persons who
had filed on lands, and had entered
the same with the surveyor of the
county in which the lands lie, can ac-
quire title to the lands by proceeding
with the surveying, fling their field
notes and paying the fees therefor in

How q Dog Was Sold.

Here is true dog story: A family
down town having afalse CRATE in one
of the rooms Of the house placed some
red paper behind it to give it the
effect of fire. One of the coldest days
this winter the dog belonging to the
household came in from out of doors,
and seeing the paper in the CRATE de-
liberately walked up to it and laid
down before it, eurled up in the best
way to receive the glowing heat as it
came from the fire. He remained
motionless for few moments; feel
ing no warmth he raised his head and
looked over his shoulder at the CRATE;
still feeling no heat he went across
and carefully applied his nose to the
CRATE and smelt of it. 1t was cold as
ice. With look Of the most su-
preme disgust, his tail curled down
between his legs, every hair on his
body saying I'm sold," the dog trot-
ted out of the room, not even deign-
ing to cast look at the party in the
room who had watched his actions
and laughed so heartily at his misfor-
tunes. That dog had reason as well
as instinct.-TrOy Times.

Editors of newspapers in large cities

Of the thousands of such letters re-

dampen the ardor of the men and wo-
men who find pleasure in freeing their
minds in letter to the editor When
one of these epistles is printed, the
author thereof grows excited with in
expressible delight; he or she sincerely
believes that that one letter is about
all that the copy of the paper con-

immeasurable reforms, probably revo-

entirely. For days the happy writer
wonders why the editor does not write
