Fun for the Crowd.

Dawn on the corner of Main and Sec
ond streets Yesterday afternoon "A large
crowd of people was gathered. There
was considerable hilar,ty manifested
every now and then, apparently with
out cause. One might stand at n
short distance away for n quarter OF an
hour without discovering what was
the matter. Some stranger would come
along every now and then, and Mt
tfacted by the presence OF so many,
would naturally stop To see what was
going on The crowd would. always
open up and give him plenty of stand
ing space, but would gradually, as he
fingered, c,oSe up on him, and thereby
tempt him to finger. II is The most
natural thing in the world for. n man
standing anywhere TO sock q
support against which To rest.
That was the secret of the
source of all the nun. Just atthe
center of the space left for the unsus-
pecung lingerer, was an iron column
supporting the shed overhead. The
e.9sllnlA---had been freshly painted.
One would think the crowd was cer-
tatniy composed of unthinking err
ihaiicsoIs people, But the spirit of
lnii was stronger than any consl,lera-
uon, and so all continued to laugh MS
each successive victim rested himselt
momentarily against the post. Some
would stand sqnarely against, Others
would lean sideways. hut the major

DR.. y. -. Anseli and his Wife Injured by
M Accident to IA Gasoline stove.
---------
A serious accident occurred yester-
day morning about $ o'clock ut the
residence Of Dr. a. ID. Ansell ON Sec
ond street. between Main and Rusk
Mrs. Anscll went into the kitchen and
lighted the burner in the gasoline
stove. Hardly had she done 50 when
the oil in the reservoir. foot to the
right and two feet above, blazed up
almost to the ceiling The burning
oil fell upon her dress setting it -afire
in several places. She screamed and
DIR. Ansell ran ont of the Office. See
ing her condition he ierked oil his
coat and wrapped il around her per
son, succeeding SOON in smothering
the flames. Then ut " very considera.
BILE risk he placed the little cover upon
the hole in the top of the reservoir,
thus choking the flames. He received
some very painful burns upon both
hands. Mrs. Ansell was found to be
burned in several. spots, one of
her arms being very seri-
ously injured Neither how
ever is dangerously burned
The different explanations are given
OF the accident. DR.. Ansell says that
lie has been reading up on gasolineand
finds that its gas sometimes floats Off
in the air as far as ten feet, and that
the gasoline may he ignitcd at that
distance through its gas thus scattered.
Two gas had.accummulated, he thinks,
near the reservoir and being ignited
rom the burner communicated the
lame TO the gasoline in the reservoir
through the uncovered hole in the
top, a young man who has handled
the stoves for some time past explained
that there wni probably too much oil
IN the little cup under the burner and
that the gas from the tube OF the ex-
tinguisheT rushed down against this,
threw 1t up toward the reservoir, and
that the flame was thus commune
Gated Both explanations may be
correct.

A woman who gave her name as l,a-
ker, and who claims to be the wife a
barber who has shops in Waco and
Hillsboro, came into the court
house yesterday morning and said she
had been deserted by her husband,
who left her In the Mississippi House
last Saturday night and had not been
seen since. According to the woman's
story, she and her husband came here
last week to employ men to work in
his shops in Waco and Hillsboro, and
on Saturday night she received note
from her husband, dated in this city,
saying he had gotten into some trou-
BILE and would have to leave the city
at once. This was the last she heard
from him, but She learned through
some means or other that he had gone
to Denison. Investigation failed TO
discover any trouble which Baker had
experienced and the wife came tn the
conclusion that she had been deserted.
In the court house she met Mr.. A G..
Walker, late deputy county clerk To
whom she told her story. On ques-
tioning her, Mr.. Walker learned that
she was out of money and owed two
dollars for board; that she had friends
in Whitney in this state who would
assist her if she could let them know
of her needs Mr., Walker then al
vlsed heI to telegraph her friends OF
her condition aud she left the court
house apparently much relieved when
she learned that she could scnd a tele-
gram without paying charges Mrs.

Meets.
Although the amount of business
transacted in the Fort Worth postofllee
is largely in excess of that demanded
TO secure the carrier system, it seems
that we may not hope To get il until
the national solons meet in Washing
ton. In response TO u letter from our
postmaster, Mrs. Belle NJ. Burehill
the first assistant postmaster general
has notified her that her application
for the Tree delivery system ut Fort
Worth must be declined. The reason
assigned Tor the decination is, that the
appropriation is insufficient to extend
u to the cities having the qualifica
tons required by law. He adds, how
ever, that should the auditor, later in
the year, report larger
uneNpended balance than now
seems probable; or, should
congress ut its coming session make n
supplemental appropriation for such
service, the claim of Fort Worth will
receive consideration. Our people
should not permit Senators Coke and
MaNey and Congressman Welborn 10
forget this application, and the GA
dElsrE sends them marked copies to
paste ia their hats for future reference.
