A Gathering of Leading Grand Army
Men Yesterday Afternoon.

There wa quite a gathering OF leading
Grand Army men at the office of Col. E.P.
Snow yesterday afternoon for the purpose
of taking into consideration certain mat
tiers regarding the interests and prospects
of the G. A. r. men in Wyoming.
Among those present were Hon. John c..
Kerr, speaker Of the house of representa-
tives, N. Il. Dawes. and Hon. &. Deloney,
of Evanston, o. p. Yelton, of Laramie
City, j. X. Jeffrey, Judge Fisher, Col.
Snow, j. II. Goddard. Il. NJ. Fisher, d.
b. Courtney, N. j. 0'Brien and others.
The meeting was entirely an informal one.
The matters discussed related to attend
ing the department convention which is
to be held at Pueblo, Colo, on Tuesday,
and as to what action should be taken by
the Wyoming delegates, army men in
Colorado stating that they expected to give
Wyoming one at least, and probably two
of the leading positions. The prospect
regarding the organization of a separate
department for Wyoming was alluded
to and some of the members thought that
it would be injudicious to make any move
in that direction at this time, but it is
probable that at the proper time the
question will be submitted to the various
posts in the territory for the purpose of
obtaining the views of the members.

A Wise Reform,

The habit of administering quinine in powderful doses, as an antidote to malarial maladies, was once danger ously common. Happily this prac' tice has undergone a w,de reform. Not only the public, but professional men have adopted, not wholly, ol course, but largely, Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitrers as a safe botanic subsli- ute for the pernicious alkalOid. The consequences of this change are most important. Now fever and ague sui. ierers are cured-formerly their com. plaints were only forthe time relieved or half cured-the remedy eventually failing to produce any appreciable ef. feet except the doses were increased. A course of the Bitters, persistently fol- lowed, breaks up the worse attacks and prevents their return. The evI- dence in favor of this sterling specific and household medicine is ot ho am. biguous character, but positive and satisfactory, and the sources whence It proceeos are very numerous.

An Accornmoda,lon Train.

A few days ago we'll known citi- zen of Atlanta had occasion to go from Wrightsvills to Dublin. He took one of the accommodation trains between the two towns and prepared himself to sleep during the short journey. When the journey was about half over and while the train was daslling along at high rate of speed, the engineer observed fine large gopher near the track.
 Jerusalem, the blestl" he ejacu- lated, turning to the fireman, "put on brakes and stop the train!"
 He caught hold of the whistle-lever and produced succession of shrill blasts, which caused the brakemen back In the cars to hurry to their posts and trantically endeavor to twist the brakes up to the last notch. The passengers thought the engineer had oyertaken a herd of wild steers, or that a bridge had washed away, and every one of them prepared to join a prayer meeting, by way of preparation for impending death. Finally the train was stopped, but not until the gopher had been left half mile be- hind. Determined not to lose his game. the engineer blcked to the spot where he hal seen the gopher, stopped the train, and, accompanied by the fremen, gave chase and captured it.
 "Sly," said a passenger to the con ductor as the train started once more toward Dublin, "what kind of train Is thl.2"

Hand ling Vicious Bulls.

The plperS are constantly reporting Serlou, accidents, and frequently deaths, from the careless handIag of vicious bulls; and the occurrences are even known where carelessness Is not practiced. Ina majority of cases however, these things are clearly avoidable. An owner or keeper comes 10 trust semi-yicious brute ,lmply because he has never yet in- duIged in positive attack. Or a known savage bull is handled without proper precautions just once, in stable or yard. Or some one attempts tU cross a pasture, and Is attacked and muIilated. Or danger is incurred Tn one of several other possible ways. IL Is evident from these occurrences that few if any bulls are to be abso. lutely trusted; that when they attack, nothing but outside interposition of some kind will usually suffice to save the victim from death; that pru. dence requires those about lhem to always act with caution. There Is only one way to lessen accidents, and that IS to bear these thIngs in mind. National Stockmln.

The Texas Cattle industry.

FoRT WORTH, Ten, July 2.-Relorts from
throughout the State show that two great
cattle sections of Texas are suffering rom

the most gloomy outlook for catt., Ind

enough la summer the herds and none To
winter them. Cattle are no iatter than they
were last spring. after having passed through
the winter. The calves have nearly all died.
The grass is too far gone To he benefited by
rains. In that section ranchmen are NOV

Trouble has occurred on the trail III New
Mexico. one hundred and eighty head oi
cattle from the drought districcs of Western
Texas are travelling northwest through New
Mexico. They are headed for the TricfIer.I
pass, which has been forced by local stock
men, and il defended by a large armed force.
These immensc herds must get through the
pass or die, H. they are too weak To he driven

The Latest Cavern

HAZLEroS. July between 3 and I
o'clock this morning an immense cave in &C
CURED on the Lehigh Valley Railroad AT No.
: stockton Breaker. The first alarm was
given by u miner employed at the slope, and
throngs of people FASTENED To the spot. The
cave-in is about 800 feet long and 100 wide.
When the accident occurred there was a ter
riblc crash. and the shock was felt for some
distance. Three tracks. on one of wLirlI
were two trucks loaded with lumber. were
swallowed UP by the falling in of the earth.
Telegraph and telephone poles and wires,
and in fact everything in that immediate
vicinity, went down with one sudden crash.
The Anchor freight train was due about an
hour later. and precautions We're at once
taken To have the train signalcd and stopped
before il could reach the scene of the acc
dent. The freight train, having been signal
ed, remained at stockton, where the freight
WAS unloadcd from the cars and delivered To
those of the IIazlcton merchants who felt
inclined To haul it 10y team t. the town. All
trains from North and South were delayed
for some time. and the 6.0j train did not
leave the depot at this place AT all. An cN-
cursion under the auspices of several of the
Sunday schools was postponed until some
future date. This excursion would have
been a very large one, and the accident oc-
CURING 81 early as il did,probahly prevented
a terrible calamity. Grading for the laying of
a new track WAS commenced on the north
side of the cave-in early this morning, and
with the large force of men that are engaged
il is expected that the track will hc in such
Il shape that all trains will he able tn pass
that point within Il day or two.
