FROM The Bost,n Gasatte.

From the BOSt5n Gazette.
It was a tiny little bird
That sat upon tree
And warbled from her throbbing throat
Her thrilling minslrelsy.
a crOuchlng, creeping Thomas cat
Gazed at her from below,
But she sang on aud paid no heed
Unto her cruel foe
And nearer cTept the Thomas cat,
Aud then he made a spring
The napless bird was in his mouth
But ceased not yet to sing.
o! then chaste m uSlc's holy charm
Itself made felt ere long;
The cat released the singer. which
Still chanted its clear song.
All, bailied cat! All. happy bird!
All, music's wondrous power!
The bird, though, was pretty toy,
Which. wound En. sang an hour!

There are those who do not think that
children suffer any harm from witnessing
the hanging of a criminal. A day or two
ago, in Caldwell parish, La, after pub

ing the execution and actually banged
one Of their number to the rafters of an
uuoccupied building. Fortunately the at
tentiOn Of a grown person was attracted
by the crowds Of children, and the victim
was cut down just In time to save his life.
IL might also be argued that children
ought not TO be permitted to witness a
baptisng because they might take it into
their heads TO have baptising on their
own account. Not long ago IN this same
parish of Caldwell number Of colored
children who had witnessed a baptisng "a
few days previous took one of their num-
Der, chlld years OF age, and, conveying
him 10 a pond, immersed him until the
amusement lost its charm OF novelty. A
short time afterward the child was found
near the pond in a dying condition, and he
died in two hours.

Yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Sam Allen,
of fremont house fame in Moline, got on
drunk, and last night the Old man was
arrested in Moline and lodged in the city
Jail. His wife drove to this city, and was
on her way to Davenport, when Officer
bunker arrested her She was very drunk
and hilarious when arrested. She was
before Justice Crppper this morning,
charged with having been drunk and dis
orderly, and the justice fined her SIS with
COSTS She was unable TO pay and was
sent down to the armory. Mrs. Allen
says she has gwen her husband the grand
bounce, and now wants to be known by
the name she bore before she married
him. Mrs J. c. Wheeler She wanted the
justice to let her go this morning, saying
that she would swear eff, but his honor
had heard too many of those stories.
This woman succeeded in running old man
Allen in less than a year. He hal pretty
good farm above Moline, which he sold
shortly after their marriage, and now the
money is all gone.

Mr. E. p. Ripley, general freight agent
of the Burlington. gives notice that his
company has opened its station at Gins
ton, Iowa, distant from Chicago AS
miles, and is prepared to transport prop
erty of all descriptions between Clinton
and points east and west thereof. In con-
nection with the Burlington, Cedar Rap>
ids & Northern, and the Minneapolis &
St. Louis railways the line via Clinton to
all points on both roads, including St.
Paul and Minneapolis, will be much short
er than that heretofore used and the time
will be correspondingly quickened. BY
the opening of this line the Burlington
becomes direct competitor for the bus
mess between st. Paul and Chicago, and
the company will probably demand at the
next meeting of the Northwestern Traffic
association, a percentage OF the business
between St, Paul and Minneapolis and
Chicago. The Burlington at present gets
a percentage for its bushes between St D..
Louis and Minneapolis only

consists of a SlOping eight brick arch iii
the front part of the fire box and reflector
Immediately over the furnace door. There
is also an air draft cut in the door whic h
is left open at all times when the engine
is on the road. The theory of the inven,
ton is TO hold the smoke by counter draft
until the denser substance is consumed .
1t is claimed that it makes a saving of a
ton of coal to each two hundred miles
run. besides doing away with much of the
dense smoke usually emitted from the
smoke stack.

news for the papers. For some time fire
bug has been at work in the town, burns

The fire bug seems to be taking a rest just

place This fellows speciality IS to as r
sault peaceable citizens on the street after
dark. Twice very recently he got in his
work He walks up to his victim without
any warlike manifestations and when
abreast, hits him a stunning blow in the
face, He then gets out of sight before the
dazed and bewildered citizen can recog~
nize him. What the crank means by tits
not known. Neither of the men he has
struck has an enemy in town who is at
all likely to do such a deed. He tackled
the wrong man last Sunday evening, and
was knocked down into snow drift; but
he got up and skurried away without be

There was considerable OF a smash up
on the c., Il. l. & P. al Fairport, the first
station this side of Muscatine, yesterday
A freight train occupied the main track
while the engine was doing some switchN
ing on a side track. Suddenly an engine
came flying around a curve and Collided
with the caboose of the freight train,
smashing it to pieces. There were only
three or four persons in the caboose. Miss
Nellie Young, of Monticello, Iowa, was
burned badly by being thrown against
the stove Both of her hands, and Der
face, ears and neck were burned. Officer
McCabe, Of this city, was struck with
piece of timber or the back and some
what bruised. w F. Dunn, the engi-
neer had both of his legs bruised. Thos
Berry, the fireman, jumped before the
collision took place and spraincd hi.
wrist and also bruised his face by fall
on the hard ground.
Michael Flannery, passen ger, was
bruised about the legs and spraned his
left arm.
Miss Young was taken to Mercy hos
pital in Davenport for treatment. Hi
hands were very badly burned, the flesh
peeling of them in places. DR.. Peck, the
company's physician, says the young lady
will recover in due time. The injuries
sustained by the others are not serious.
The escape from death of those IN the
caboose is something miraculous The
engine ran into the caboose as far rs the
bell, and besides smashing the car 10
pieces, was itself badly crippled.

A party of young country folks drove
into the city in a long bob.sled last even>

and chatting they must have been having
lots of fun. Each of the horses pulling
the bob-sled had big COW bell tied to its
neck and the noise the bells made attract

Moline is blessed, or otherwise with
some queer people. but the king of the
town in this respect is a fellow named
Erastus johnson. johnson ekes out Il
living by doing odd Jobs here and there,
and has at divers times graced the police
court to answer to charges ranging from
simple drunk to petit larceny. Three
years ago when the small pox epidemic
passed over this community johnson came
in for his share. and got the disease in its
worst form. just before taking it he had
the jim jams and his system was supposed
to be in a broken down condition. The
doctors had little hope for his recovery,
and as lie continued to get worse, all hope
was abandoned and his life hung in the
balance from day TO day for week. Fl
nally one night the crisis came and the
attending physician said that the patient
could not live many hours, and as the
rule had been adopted to bury the small
pox victims as soon as they died, the doc
tor ordered that grave be dug for Johns
son at once, and accordingly one was dug
and Preparations made to bury the man
as soon as he had given up the ghost.
But about this time Johnson took q turn
for the better, and astonished the doctor
the next morning by showing marked
evidences of returning vitality. He con>
tinued to improve and eventually got
well, and one day visited his graye-that
was to be-and peered curiously into the
yawning hole,
Johnson is noted for his ability to tell
outlandish stories. He is the champion
whooper teller Of the Piow city, and when
he is telling the biggest one in his extern
sive repertoire, his countenance is the
most childlike and bland. The latest
we have heard from this genius is the
following: The other night some freight
cars came together on a railway track IL
Moline, and there was smash up The
next day johnson was observed limpins
around, and someone asked him what TIN
matter was. well, you see, replied thu
pride of Moline, Il was up along thu
railway track last evening, and was jus
about to cross the track when along cam
freight train, and the engine ran agains
} my foot and hurt it some. But it stoppet
the engine so quick that several freigh
cars smashed into each other and wer
broken TO pieces. / guess I'm even, any
