DENIsoN, TEX, Aug. Yesterday
afternoon Mr.. owen Mccarthy, hard
ware merchant OF this city, and r. Polk
Burhans, city editor of the Denison News,
came verJ near meeting an untimely end.
They were walking up Main street, and
when in front OF Culver & Sons grocery
house they were startled by ball from
a Winchester passing very close to their
heads. On investigation 1t was found
that two young men were carelessly
handling the gun, and, as usual, not
knowing 1t was loaded, 1T went of. The
two gentlemen named were thoroughly
frightened, and with good cause. Sucn
carelessness is inexcusable and certainly
should be punished.

The shops of the Great Western d.
vison, Grand Trunk, in Hamilton, Ont,
are now building some heavy passenger
engines. The engines have six feet
drivers, and nineteen by twenty-four
inch cylinders. In order to give proper
support to the piston and prevent it
dragging on the bottom OF the cylinder,
the piston rod is prolonged through the
front cover, and therefore supported at
each end by suitable bushes and glands
This device is used In many large marine
aud stationary engines, but is on loco,

A Bad Bridge.

The bridge over Galows Hollow on
Front street,a short dis ICE this side oil
Johnson's saw mill which has given
considerable trouble in the past, has
again caved in. The damage this time
was caused by the overflow in the river.
The bridge was built sometime age
by county appropriation and private
subscription at cost of 81 400; $500 Of
the amount being supplied by the APP
preparation.
1t was built with stone arch over
the hollow and stone walls Oh either
side with dirt fill between the walls.
During the very cold weather last
winter the bursting of a water main
that ran through the bridge, eau ;ed one
of the walls to give way and the fill to
cave in. 1t was repaired then and the
main removed.
The recent overflow caused similar
disaster only more extended, both of
the walls falling in. The arch, which was
the main protection of the structure,
and the most costly part remains intact.
1t is said that the damage can be re-
paired for $3.50.
A frame bridge will be built aero IS
the hollow for temporary use.

DR.. Wright's Lecture.

Dr. d. F. Wright delivered lecture
in Stewart Cabinet Hall Tuesday night
for the benefit of the college gymnasium.
He was greeted by very fair audience
but not so large as should have been
out on so interesting an occasion. His
subject was Filtration, Love and Mar
riage, as illustrated in Shakespear.
He began with some witty remarks
concerning his own experience in these
matt'r that tickled the audience and
put everybody in a good humor.
His selections from Shakespeare illus
trated the Irritation, love and marriage
of Benedict and Beatrice and Olando
and Rosalind and he drew very pleas
ing contrast in pointing out the differ
ent modus operandi these couples pur-
sued in arriving at the same happy re-
suit.
The time taken up in considering the
subject as brought out IN these two OF
Shakespeare most interesting comedies,
prevented the lecturer from going into
the tragedies for material. This he
promised to do at a future time.
The ladies were greatly pleased at the
very gallant manner in which Doctor
Wright treated his subject and the ex-
allied position in which he placed the
gentler sex.
