RELATION OF SORROW TO OTHERS.

This question is important in its altru-
istic aspects. BY indulging in grief we
lessen the sum total of human happiness.
and are thereby impoverished ourselves.
We are all initiative creatures, and very
much affected by those around us. If
we are happy we help to make others
happy, and they reciprocally increase
our happiness. II we sorrow. we sadden
them. and Gius thicken the cloudsaround
us. Everybody wants to help the glad
nan, for he is public comfort; but
Everybody runs away from the gloomy
ian, for he is bore. Every man has
his influence sorrow and joy are con-
tagious; more happiness for humanity
means more happiness for you; there
fore kill sorrow and feed JOY, and your
neighbors and posterity will bless YOU

CALVERT, April 9.-LSpecial. I-Engi-
neer Sam Millican and Fireman Lewis
Grissom, on No. 8, were injured and
had a narrow escape for their lives to-
day by the engine of the north bound
passenger leaving the track three miles
south of this place at Mud creek. The
cause of the accident was the north
abutment OF the bridge giving way
which let down the track as soon as the
engine struck the bridge, throwing the
engine over and down the dump and
the express car across the track. The
engineer and fireman remained In the
cab. The engineer received bad cut
on the nose and one of his legs IL
slightly bruised. Hhe fireman had his
arln slightly hurt. No one else received
any injuries. The heavy rain of yester-
Gay, the heaviest ever known here, was
| the cause of the damage TO the bridge.
Trains are expected through tonight.

THE TEXAS Il ST. LOUIS ORDERED SOLD.
WACO, April 23,-[Special.l limited
States Circuit Judge Pardee issued a
decree this morning ordering fore
closure of the mortgage on the Texas IL
St. Louis narrow guage railroad from
TeXarkaHa TO Gatesville, or the entire
line in Texas. This grows out of the
bondholders suit, in which the Central
Trust company, of New York,
Is trustee, and which throws
the road into tho hands of
a receiver. An order OF sale will be-
published soon by Special Master in
Chancery Mccormick, at Dallas, but the
date of sale has not yet definitely been
decided, save that IL win be some time
this summer. The presumption Is that
tho road will be made standard gauge
as soon as possible after the sale; also,
that there will be sharp combination
made on the part OF conflicting inter-
ests, who want TO purchase and control
II. This line is the only competition the
Gould system has in central Texas for
business by way OF st. Louis.
