Not long since Wakefield Star
key, of Austin, while crossing the
track of the International and
Great Northern railroad on a val
liable mule, was struck by the To-
comotive and killed. The mule
was also hurled into eternity.
Wakefield Starkey, although per
feet gentlemEn on the street, was
a domestic tyrant of the deepest
dye. Without any provoeation
whatever he used to beat his wife
and lock her up in closet hence,
when she heard of his death il was
not so much a case of heavy be-
reavement as it was of mitigated
affection. AS the engineer was
clearly u blame for the accident il
was suggested to the widow that
she bring suit for damages. She
resolved to do so, and called at
the Office of the railway company.
The proper official happened to be
IN. The widow had such a clear
case against the company that it
was deemed advisable to comprO.
mise the matter.
"Now, madame,n said the oilic.
ial, after the widow had thrown
back her veil and stated her busi.
ness, we are willing to do what is
fair in this matter. There is really
no occasion to go to law. II is a
delicate subject to discuss, so |
think without going into the merits
of il will tender you a check for
$4,000 and you will sign paper
releasing the company from all fur
thcr demands
The widow stared, and said :
allow much ~
81 am authorized TO pay you
sl,OoO.o
81 accept it" sho said very much
asitated.
The check was handed over, the
paper signed, and the widow walk
cd out in q bewildcred frame o
, mind. AS she cashed the checl
, she said to herself, confdentially
IL didn't expect to get moro thai
$50. | reckon that fellow didn'
, know how old that mule was"
> 1t had never occurred to her tha
; she had sustained any loss in tn,
death of her husband. On the 9th
. er hand, the official SAID to one 0
i. his clerks: "That lady 10 lettin
8 us off dirt cheap. We usually hav
) to pay $4,000 for running owe
n husbands.n
c It did not occur to him that tn
4 widow had sustained any los
Y whatever in the death of the walt
i able mule.
J. What a striking illustration {
s the fact that different people loo
q at the same thing in a differel

A Wedding Interrupted.


Henry Grady In Atsnta Constitution
BY the way, Ballard Smith tolls n
story of a North Carolina wedding.
1t runs this way: 1t was in the
Carolina back woods; q country
couple and a country parson.
Though Baptist, the minister
wore an old surplice. When he
had finished the ceremony he said :
"An' them'uns who God hath
joined"
"Stop thar, parson," said the
groom; "don't say them'uns, say
these'unsw
"John,n said the parson. III tech
you at school, and say them'uns.p
"These'uns y shouted the groom,
drawing his pistol.
The parson seeing the move
ment fired through his surplice
and the groom dropped dead
wingiDg the parson as he went
down. There was a lively fusilade
Of perhaps thirty shots. When
the smoke cleared away a hall
dozen men were on the floor. The
bride, peeping over the pulpit, to
which che had fed for refuge
gazed mournfully on the scene
and said:
"Them a self cockin' pistols is q
playin' hell with my prospectsw
Of course the story IS an impos
sible one, and yet, said Mr.. Smith
"That is the staple story of th'
South that is circulated and be
licved throughout the North
While such thing could hardl,
have happened in North Carolini
any more than in New York, th'
average Northern man smiles in
credulously when you tell him tina
this performance is Improbable a
a Carolina wedding"

The following story is not used
by temperance orators, though it
is a good one: A party of six
camped out in Wisconsin on a
cold night. After supper two
drank moderately, two freely and
two let it alone. In the morning
the temperance men arose refresh.
ed, the light drinkers were stiff
with cold and hardly able to rise,
and the two who had drank freely
were frozen to death. The moral
is that the temperance two knew
how to wrap themselves up.

The commissioner of the general land ollico
has been taking an inventory of the business
in his office, and finds that there are about
1900 contested homestead cases now pending,
besides those in conflict with congressional
grants. There are also 10000 final homestead
eases in which the proof is yet to be examined
and $4,000 private cash and other final entries
awaiting adjudication. In addition there are
5000 timber culture entries and over 100000
original homestead cases on Alc in tho public
lands division
In the railway division there are about
6OOO pending settlement claims, all Of which
are to be decided in connection with tho adj
iustmont of railway grants
In the prc-cmption division there arc 10000

addition u large number probably between
100000 aud 100000, subsistiug pre-emptiOn

bic TO be at any time offered,
In the mineral, swamp land, private land

Ertec OF Counsel IngcrsolI.
In the Gtar route trial yesterday cx-Post-
master De BuslIc, of Ration, Col, was cross
examined by the defense. lie said his annual
salary from tho sale of stamps was $12. Mr..
Wilson inquired whether any one could have
been found to carry the mail at two-thirds of
that sumyas required by section 1871 Revised
Statutes. blr Merricll objected, and stated
that the amount paid for wrenching the route
around, so as to take in Ration, over s., 800 was
excessive.
The court ruled out the question, remark
ing tha { it was perfectly manifest that no ono
would carry the mail for SS per year. The
witness said the business in his section had
both increased and diminished. A grazing
company with capital of Si,0O00O0 had
bought out nearly all the old residents, who
had removed to other counties. There was
now an abundance of cattle in the valley.
The Court. Postoiliccs are established for
men, not for cattle.
Mr., Wilson. didn't suppose for an instant
that cattle got letters.
Mr.. ngersOl. Oh, yes. They have letters
branded on them, LaughtGr.l
William Burgner, of Trinidad, Col, who sue
Ceedcd DE Buske as subcOntTaCtOr on the route
gave testimony of aboEt the same character.
On crosS-cXaminatiOn he was asked whether
his three horses We're not pretty well run down
at the cnu of the year when he threw up his
contract lie answered that they were rather
thin.
Mr., Wilson. In fact, there wasn't much left
of tho horses, was there "A. oh, yes.
Mr., mgGrsoll Their names and tails were
good, you mean. Laughter.
The witness he threw up his contract be-
cause he had received no pay four months.
When he came here last February RGrdell
paid him by draft sent to Trinidad, signed
by John X. Miner.
Mr.. Henlslo Indignantly declared that Mr..
Merricls had put words in the mouth of the
witness that was not true. To his own lnowl-
edge that draft vast not signed by Minor.
The witness, DE Bushe, was recalled for the
purpose Of telling how he was paid for services
rendered.
George Sweeney, q contract office clerk, was
then placed on the stand to identify the
official papers relating to the route from Fort
Garland TO ParrOtt City, Col. The orders
showed that the original route was curtailcd
at both ends so rs to make tho termini
at OOcalicnto and Animas City.
The remainder of the session was consumud
it the Introduction of official papers relating
to the route, and the hearing was adjourned
until Monday.

representations but this was an insinuation
against n committee of the house. The bill
of the senate as it came from the senate, with-
out the crossing of "t" or the dotting of an
J." with the same paper and the same ink,
went back to the senate without bearing the
mark of any person connected with the house
of representatives, except the Endorsement
necessary to signify its approval by the house.
The clause referred to in the article did
not appear in that bill, and he was informed
that IL was struck ont in the senate. In the
face Of that fact the last remark of the arti-
Gle was simply shameless, and IL only re-
mained to be seen whether in the conduct of
that paper there was honor enough left TO
make this fact known and TO make the
amende honorable to the civil.service reform
