A Mud Avalanche in Panama.

There was a characteristic Interrupt
ton of traffic on the Panama Railroad
last week which goes to show what the
canal Will have to expect at unprepared
moments. It occurred at Cucaracha IN
the shape of a landslide, which Is some
what out of the ordinary way Of land
slides that occur more or less in hilly
countries. The Star and Herald, re-
porting the event, says: "These slides
are much more common IN the tropics,
where, during the rainy season, the
earth sucks up every drop of water 1t
can hold until finally its power of adj
/ herring to the lower rocky strata gives
way, and it finally comes down with q
rush, or gradually 'crawls' dOWn-hill,
! as the mass has been doing at Gu
/ caracha during the last few days. The
! manner in which this slide has behaved
and its slow rate of progression are IN
| doubtedIy due to the fact that the su
/ Derincum bent mass now In motion hIIl
/ q series of ravines and covers a Jagged
| surface, which offers good and effective
/ resistance to the many thousands o
tons which are now in motion sliding
down as a mud avalanche. It Is due Il
this fact that traffic has not been en-
/ tirelv suspended, and that passengers
their baggage and mails, go through
| with temporary obstruction 1t Is true
as packages have to be carried by han'
/ across the break, but cargoss are c
course delayed, and viii not be move

been made through the slide and a ne
track has been laid. tits quite probabl

In Batavia a Parsee juggler treated
the Dutch residents to a novel matanza, /
or killing show, IN the circus Of the old

less with mango, opened the festivities
by making a rush around the ring, but
stopped short on finding his way barred
by the still tanker professor, and re-
treated after displaying his few remain

staff st arms length, still facing the

extended staff, but soon after began to
show signs of disease, and before the
end of the third minute had shared the
fate Of his predecessor. Dog after dog

some Of them stopping IN surprise and

O6TcTaT LIE in ne TVnIt6 house.

Many people look upon the Office Of
rrivate secretary to the President as
one Of the sinecures Of political lie.
Few realize the fact that it can only be
filed by a man of tact, intelligence, 1n-
formation, executive ability, and phys
zeal endurance. But q man who has.aI
these is not apt to devote them to the
Government for So, $50 q year. The
private secretary, since visits to the
President have become more numerous
than they formerly were, has become
the Presidents medium of communities
ton with the ever questioning press Of
the country. To him the President
looks to be discreetly protected from
men who would waste their own time
as we'll as his. He stands guard at the
entrance to the executive citadel against
invaders of the White House who have
carried all the approaches except the
| last. To do this effectively yet grace
/ fully; to hold off the impOrtunate With
/ out provoking hostility; TO arrange
meetings with the President for those
whose business is important and TO

500 FOR A FUGITIVE.
Constable McDermott Runs Down a
Bail Jumper in Beaufort, s. O.

Constable McDermott Runs Down a
Bail Jumper in Beaufort, s. Q.
Officer Frank McDermott left on the
Charleston train last night for Beaufort,
where he goes to bring back Roger T.
Broughton (colored) for skipping his
bond. In November of last year an old
man was robbed in Yamacraw of $40.
Detectives were put on the case, and
Broughton, who was detective Oh spy for
some of the constables, was arrested. After
he was arrested he implicated woman. and
they we're 81 en- preliminary exanina-
ton in Justice Sheftalls court Broughton
was released on $500 bond, pending trial in
the city court. The woman was committed
to Jail, and was shortly afterward tried and
sent TO the penitentiary for a couple of
years.
AS the time drew near for Brought n's
trial, he became alarmed and ran away.
William Clark, porter for Ludden d Bates
was on Broughtons bond, and he made
every effort to produce Brou2hton, but was
unable to do so. and the bond was forfeited
Clark appealed To the supreme court, but
the decision Of the city court was affirmed,
and he was given until December next to
produce Broughton. Clark engaged couple
OF detectives to get the runaway, but tdey
gave mp the search as vain, and he nad made
up his nuud to ''ante" up the $500, thin king
that Broughton was well out of the way.
Since ;be opening of Justice Enures'
office, Clark has had business there, and
Friday he oold Constable McDermott, more
in Jest than earnest, that he would give
him 500 to get Broughton. Mr.. McDar-
mott learned the circumstances of the case
aud began Oh still huat for the fugitive
From drunken excursionist who came
over from Beaufort day or two since, tho
constable learned that Broughton was living
within few miles OF Beaufort. McDer-
mott acquainted Detective Mahan Of Beau
fort OF the facts, and also of the Negroes
whereabouts and asked him to Eeep close
lookout for him. He furnished the detect
i've u description OF Broughton. and yester-
day he received telegram informing him
that Broughton had beon arrested. and to
come with the warrant for him.
Broughton will DO brought to Savannah
and lodged in Jail, to await the action of
the city court Clark received the news of
Broughton's arrest joyou ly, and told the
constable that 800 for his arrest was cheap
work He said that he will withdraw from
| the bond at once.
