. wagon and Driver Upset By an En-
CINE at the Eleventh Street
Crossing.

A serious accident occurred yesterday
at the crossing of the Union Pacific
tracks on Eleventh street.

years of age, who is employed as a driver
of n of MI. St. Felix's grocery wagons,
was waiting at the Eleventh street cross.

crossing The engine backed up just
clear of the wagon track and the boy at.
tempted to drive across. Just as his
wegon was in front of the engine and
only a few inches from it, the engineer
started ahead. The engine struck the
wagon, %overturning it and ,hro wing the
boy to the ground.
In his fall his head struck upon a rail
and he was picked up and carried into
Bells drug store for dead. A physician
was called and when he arrived blood
was flowing from the boys mouth and
ears. He was soon resuscitated, however,
and MIR. st. Felix, who had been notified
went down with a carriage and took the
boy to his home, on Farnsm street, be-
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth. He is
not so badly hurt as was at first thought
and will get along all right.
The wagon and groceries were badly
demoralized and the horse ran away.

number of reliable firemen are examined
first by the division superintendent with
reference to their knowledge of the
rules of the company, Then the master
mechanic examined them az to their
knowledge of the engine, and if they pass
they are given certificates as engineers of
the second class and are placed at the
throttle of yard engines. One
of the points on which an en-
gineer is expected to make a record is
with respect to economy in fuel. After two
years service as yard engineer they are
eligible. If they pass a second examina-
ton, to promotion to the position OF
road engineer. The company then gives
them certificates of the first.class, SINH

cost the company 1921 cents per mile To
run it's locomotives, and last April this
had been reduced TO IA. SO cents, and
that, too, without cutting down the
wages of the engineers. Indeed, when
it obtained control of the i, d. st. L.,
the Bee Line raised the pay of engineers
from 3 to 81 cents per mile. The saw
ing in repairs was the difference between
2.96 cents per mile in April, 1884, and

Chilicothe Co., Leader.

| Chilicothe (o.,) Leader.
Marvellous as are the 'freaks" gath
| cred together by the show people, they
haven't anything in the way of a human
curiosity to compare with a remarkable
being confined in the county infrmary
of Pike county. The creature is a man
but his right TO that title rests solely
| upon the fact that he was born of we
man. In every other respect he differs
from his kind and possesses no attributes
in common with ordinary repregenta-
| tives of his sex. He bears upon his per-
son, his habits and vocal organs, all Of
| the characteristics of a bull, in as nearly
a perfect form as possible for atwo legged
| creature to possess them. This remarka-
| BILE creature is named John Haines, and
is 40 years old. He is the son of very re-
spectacle parents, who at the time OF the
monsters birth lived in Pebble township.
Twelve years ago the mother who gave
birth to this unnatural object died, but
his father is still living, Prior to the
mothers death John was watched and
cared for at home. but since her demise
he has been confined In the inf .mary.
The existence of the monstrosity is
known to comparatively few people, and
many of those who do know of his be-
ing have never seen him, being deferred
from Waiting his cell because of the terri
BILE sight that would meet their eyes.
Haines, or John" as he.is called by
everybody who has occasion to speak
about him, has been confined at the in
Urinary for twelve years. He is of med
ium height, with a very large head, and
the forehead broad and bold, with a
strongly marked ridge running down the
center of it. The sides of the head are
fiat, running back almost at right angles
with a forehead, while tho top of the
head slopes backward and downward at
a sharp incline, leaving the Uranium
without brain room. His fIce is dark
skinned, heavy and british in express

like those of a bovine, and roll about in

A FALLING METEOR.
A Beautiful Sight in the Western
Heavens Sunday Night.

Sunday evening about $50, a beautiful
sight was to be seen in the western heav
ems. A BEE reporter, who happened to
be at the corner of Eighteenth and Jack.
son streets at that time, had his attention
attracted by a report, as of a pistol, in
the heavens above. Looking up, a large
star was seen, surrounded by sparks Of
fire. All at nee the sparks faded from
view, and the star, which was an unusu.
ally large one, began to move slowly
across the heavens in a northwesterly di.
rection.
AS the reporter looked he was more
astonished, for almost in the twinkling
of an eye, the color of the heavenly visi.
tor changed to a blood red and it was &c
bright as to give a reddish glow to the
heavens for some little distance around
it, 1t continued to move and finally sank
below the horizon, leaving behind it a
reddish glow.
1t was probably a meteor and it will
doubtless be heard from as falling some
where out in the state. 1t was a beauti-
full sight and all who saw it are more
than ever impressed with the greatness
and wonders of this immense universe.

Labelling Logan,

lhlcagO News.
The newspaper pictures Of John A.
Logan do not do that gentleman justice.
At his best Logan is not a beautiful OBJ
ject, but he is by no means the cheap
looking creature the newspaper portraits
would lead II to suspect. Logan is not
an Indian doctor nor a patent medicine
vender, When he attires himself in his
store clothes and gets his hair and mus
tache nicely ~pomented, he really presents
a very attractive appearance. He has an
erect figure and his bearing is soldierly.
His whole expression is one of vitality
and manliness. But the pictures Of him
uow being circulated throughout the
country prints represent him as a dishey-
eled pumpkin suffering with an acute liver
complaint.

LINcoLN AND eAnF1nLp.
Both Men Critically Considered by Eek.
V~ice-President CoIfax.

Hen. Schuyler Colfax, x Vice resi-
dent of the United States, lectured last
evening at the Presbyterian Church, to a
fair sized audience.
Mr.. CoIfax is an elderly gentleman of
medium height and scholarly, cultured
appearance. Suffering from a cold, his
voice, at best not pleasing in oratorical
efforts, was particularly harsh last even
ing and, combined with u popularity of
pronunciation, made it rather difficult at
times for his hearers to catch his words
without an effort, which detracted from
the pleasure Of the lecture. This, taken
with the fact that in %gesticulation he is
rather awkward, forbids the rating of Mr..
Colfax as ar orator of very high rank.
For his theme, however, Mr.. Colfax has
chosen n ofthe best. OfLincoln and Gar
field, no e~ulogies are too fulsome, no anec-
dotes too long, no praise too generous, no
"reminiscences tiresome to an American
audience, and when these e~ulogies and
"reminiscences are from the lips of one who
held personal and intimate relations with
the great men, they become doubly inter
esting. The anecdotes and stories told by
the speaker in the course of his lecture,
illustrating the lights and shadows of
Abraham Lincoln's character were par
ticularly appreciated and made clearer
than ever to the audience the depth of his
great craftsmanship, the nobility of his
character, the honesty of his purpose and
patriotism, and above all, his kindred
feeling for those of his people in trouble
or distress. In his peroration the speaker
paid a glowing tribute to the memory of
the martyred Presidents and closed with
well merited applause. After the lecture
was over an informal reception was held,
when many had the pleasure OF an intro
duction to the distinguished lecturer.

Forest Fires.

QUEBEC, October 2l.-News from
Gaspe just reached here that q fire started
by people clearing brush land had spread
during last night to the village of Chlory-
dormi, destroying all houses and boats of
the place and rendering twenty families
hemeless. The people at first took shell
ter in the woods, but were soon sur
rounded by the fire and were obliged to
fly to the sea coast where they are utterly
destitute and have not had any food to
eat to-day. Immediate assistance is nee
cessary, but the fisheries along the
coast having been very poor,
this season the neighboring villages can
render but scanty aid to the unfortunate
sufferers. One family is reported missing.
The poor people saved nothing and their
sufferings will be very great unless assist
ance reaches them soon. Chlorydormi is
situated about half way between Matane
Gaspe.

A Heavy Failure.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 2l.-Thomas
Brown, cashier of the Bank of California,
said to-day to the Associated Press agent,
that special statements telegraphed East
that the Bank of California was seriously
involved in the failure Of Arthur W.
Bowman. the capitalist estate agent, were
untrue. Our uncovered advances, .
said Mr.. Brown, will not probably ex-
coed the figures telegnphed through the
Associated Press last night Under any
circumstances they cannot exceed $50
600.
Bowman's failure was one of the most
extraordinary incidents that ever occurred
on this Coast. He was the confidential
agent of persons whose wealth aggregated
fully fifteen millions. He transacted all
their business in his own name, They
drew on him as the necessities required.
He has an unencumbered property in his
own name worth $250,00 and the day
before he assigned could have cashed his
own signature at any bank in the city fol
$50, 1000. Why, then, he failed on the
presentation of drafts amounting to only
$4,000, is what his most intimate friends
are unable to comprehend.
The assignee has just issued a statement
of liabilities showing about seven hundred
and seventy-one thousand dollars, asset
s553,OO0. The proportion of secured anC
unsecured debts is not stated.

WATERrowN, October 2l.-The Car
thage fire was the most disastrous that
ever visited this part of the state. The
row of manufacturing buildings on the
West side of the Black river burned first,
and a heavy wind blew the sparks half a
mile across the river to the two islands
filed with manufacturing institutions,
burning everything on the islands, and it
then struck into the resident part of town
and swept the buildings from about
seventy-fve acres. This was the oldest
part of town, and contained beautiful
shade trees and fine dwellings. To-day
this territory is a mass of smoul-
dering ruins. One hundred an sixty
dwellings burned, besides manufacturing
institutions and Episcopal, Presbyterian,
Baptist and Disciples churches. The
Town Hall Academy and all other school
buildings are destroyed. The fire spread
so rapidly that very little household goods
could be saved. The fire departments of
WATERFOWL, Lowville, Boonville and Utica
responded to calls for help but as the fire
would appear in a dozen different places
at the same time the streams from the en-
gines were of little avail. The yards were
filled with dry leaves. which, ignited by
flying cinders and famed by a stiff breeze
were soon IN a blaze. A hundred dwell
ing houses were on fire at the same time.
The people worked hard several hours to
save property, but finally they became
panic stricken and all last night hundreds
of them were roaming the streets or lying
in spots where the fire had not touched.
Every place of shelter in the village is be-
ing filed with women and children. Large
numbers of people were brought to this city
where they had friends to care for them.
1t is impossible to correctly picture the
scenes of yesterday afternoon and last
night-strong men weeping and women
and children crying az they realized that
everything they possessed was being
swept away. The people who are thrown
out of employment with everything they
had destroyed, will have to suffer severely
unless assistance is rendered them. No
one was burned to death, but a score of
persons were badly burned, including
several firemen. The loss will foot up to
over $500, 600. The insurance cannot be
given at present, but agents say it will
not reach over one-third of that amount.

WASHINGTON. October. 2l.-The fr-

keeperSwas one of the most remarkable
tributeso o respect ever paid to a colored
man in this country. An immense
crowd of the friends and admirers of the
dead man was assembled in the hotel, and
the streets outside so thronged that the
police had difficulty in keeping the way
clear for carriages. The services were
conducted in the saloon parlors of the
hotel, which were draped with black and
decorated with many floral offerings. The
officiating ~clergymen were Rev. Drs. Sun

the Alert Hose company. The costumes
were of a good character and exhibited a
wide scope of choice. Several were fine,
many were unique and n few were gro

four hundred and twenty-five dollars.
Dancing was continued until a late hour,
the attendance being large until the close
