A FnInIIy DROWNED.

ENNIS. Texas, Jan. 1S.-Seven per-
soUs were drowned to-day in Sand lake.
about ten miles east of here. Two young
women, daughters of William Williams, n
farmer, and young man named Babbit
were skating on the lake when the ice gave
way and they sank in four and half feet
of water. Miss Babbit and two little girls
aged eight and fourteen years, also daugh-
tets of William Williams, who were on the
shore watching the sport, were drowned in
attempting to rescue their friends. The
very small child of Mr.. Williams also fell
through the ice but was saved by one Of the
drowning young ladies catching and throw
ing 1t out on the ice. Young Williams
brother of the young ladies drowned, was
quarter of mile distant at his house. He
saw the trouble and ran to the assistance OF
the unfortunates, but was soon overpowered
by the struggles OF those who were drown
ing, and he, too, was drowned. Mrs. VIII
liams, his mother, made an effort TO save
them all, but she was pulled down and
would have met the fate Of her children
but for the timely aid of her two daughters,
aged ten and twelve years. These children
threw her rope and succeeded in pulling
her ashore.

A Heroic Woman.

OMAHA, Jan 17.-Mr. j. H. Ager,
the state board of transportation, to day
told an interesting story of the pluck and
good judgment exhibited by young lady
school teacher of Valley county during the
| recent storm. When last Thursdays ter
rible blizzard came up, the teacher, Miss
Minnie Freeman, who is still in her teens,
was in the school house of Myra Valley
district with thirteen pupils ranging in age
from 6 to 13. About an hour before the
time for dismissal, the blizzard which
swept across the level prairies of Nebraska
with fury which can hardly be conceived
of by people living in the East, struck the
little school house with such force as to
tear the door from its hinges. Another
little gust struck the building and carried
away in the twinkling of an eye the entire
roof of the structure, leaving the fright
ened little ones exposed to the elements.
The time for prompt action had arrived, but
the plucky teacher was equal to the emer-
gency. She gathered her little brood to-
gether, and securing coil of strong heavy
twine, began with the largest ones and
tied the children together by the arms three
abreast. Taking the youngest and frailest
of her charge in her arms, she tied the end
of the twine around her own body, and
with all the words of encouragement she
could muster, started ont into the fury of
the storm. Selecting her way carefully.
the brave girl led her little charge through
snow drifts and the binding blizzard. and
after wearisome journey of three-luar-
ters of a mile the little band reached the
threshold of farm house and were taken
in.

MISSOURI REFORMING.
An Attempt at Railroad Robbery Met
with winchesttrs.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 19.-An nt-
tempt was made upon the Wabash train
last night by robbers near Missouri City.
The officials had been warned of the inn
pending attack and had an armed posse on
| the train. At 9:30 p. M, as Cooley's lake,
one of the lonliest spots on the road, was
| approached, a red light was seen cleaning
ahead. AS the train slowed up the engineer
| saw three masked men armed with niles
standing on the track.
"Get off there" said the leader of the
three men to the engineer. The engineer
complied, and just MS he reached the ground
an officer in the cab fired The shot from
the cab was answered with shots from the
three robbers, which ratified around the en-
gine, but did no harm. The three men then
retired. AS they moved back part of the
posse came up from the woods, where they
had been in concealment, and opened fire
on the robbers. About twenty shots were
exchanged.
Telegrams to General Manager Hays from
| Division Superintendent MCGEE say that
all of the would-be robbers have been cap
tured. Three of them were overtaken by the
posse and the fourth, Barney Sweeney, the
leader, who stopped the train and who
received heavyload of shot in the breast
from the gun of, man who was concealed
in the engine cab, was found in the woods.
The plot was given away by one of the
gang named King, who told Grant Arnold,
the Station agent ut Missouri City, what
| was going on. Arnold in turn informed the
Sheriff of Clay County, and the latter Off

was one of the posse,and it was he who shot
the leader from the cab. King remained with
the gang and signalled the train to stop, but
he took no other part in the affair. Sweeney
is said to be dangerously wounded. He is a
well-known character of the rough kind and

The man who does right more from
fear of punishment than from love of

Killing by Electricity.

NEW YORK, January 1.-THE report
of The commission appointed by the legsa-
ture to report the most humane and practi-
cal method known TO modern science of
carrying into effect the sentence of death
in capital cases was transmitted TO the leg
islature yesterday.
IL recommends the killing of culprits by
electricity. In regard TO the advantages of
electricity the commission says the npplca-
tion may be made without injury 10 the
officials The place for its use may be
strictly private, and Its certainty is beyond
doubt.
One objection TO the use of electricity is
the shock which people uninstructed in its
use suppose is inflicted ON the condemned
man. As matter OF fact the ele c,ric shock
cannot produce sensation which can be
perceptible to the criminal. Tho velocity
of the shock is SO great that the brain Is
paralyzed.
The commission recommends that chair
with head and foot rests may be used, in
which the condemned man could be seated
in half reclining position. One wire could
be connected with the head rest and the
other with the foot rest, which would be a
metal plate. The electric current could be
supplied by electric light wires.
The commission recommends that the
date Of the execution be made uncertain, so
that the criminal may not know what day
he is to die, anil that the corpse go to the
doctors or TO . nameless grave, without re-
ligions rites, and that the newspapers be
forbidden to de; cribe the execution.
