A COMPLAINT.

A PLANK SHOULD BE USED TO SLIDE BAG.
GAGE FROM A CAR.
SHERMAN, TEX, May %, 1885.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
Some good might be done for the pro.
lection of incoming baggage OF the trav.
cling public at Fort Worth depot il more
careful men were employed for that work
at the Union depot at Fort Worth. A
small trunk weighing shout forty pounds,
my property, had the bottom smashed
cut few days ago ct said depot.
When l spoke OF the da mage to one Of
the baggage employees, he replied, with a
sneer, ~ suppose such trunks cost fifty
cents dozen!"
There seems to be Q general complaint
by the travelling public in reference to the
rough treatment Of incoming baggage at
said depot. The same can be said gener-
ally of the various Union depots
throughout Texas. This know from
personal observation in my tour through
out the state. A plank should be used to
slide down baggage to the trucks on plat
form from the car, as is used st depots in
eastern cities. Throughout Texas, bag
gage is simply dropped out Of the car BY
careless employees, and costly trunks bad
ly damsg thereby. People y here is
no use of complaining, for you can get
neither satisfaction nor compensated
from the railroad companies. A little
ventilation in the newspapers may do
something towards reform in the mat
ter, and save the property Of citizens and
travellers alike from injury at the depots.

One Proof of the Relation Between Rains

One Proof of the Relation Between Rains
and Brains.
| Halter and Furrisr
"Have you ever noticed" said Phila-
delphis merchant, that if you put your
silk hat on in the morning and forget to
take your umbrella with you it is just
sure to rain before you get back? can
give you an illustration which will prove
| my theory conclusively-sr least 1t did 30
to my mind. A number Of years ago /
was living in Lancaster county, ard it
was very dry; so dry, indeed, that at
msHy OF the country churches they had
begun to hold services every day to pray
for rain. Several weeks passed, however,
and still 20 rain. My uncle, with whom
l WAS stopping, was q devous Christian
and also believed In the efficacy of prayer
to induce tie Supreme Ruler to open the
| food estes Of heaven and moisten the
parched earth. He attended the services
regularly and poured forth many an
earnest appeal. / have no doubt but
the fac. that he had about eighty acres
OF corn, which WAS being completely
dried up, made him all the more earnest;
but at sny rate, when many had given up
all hope OF it ever raining again, and the
more suparstitious, my uncle smong their,
had made up their minds that the end OF
the world WAS near at hand, and arrange
ments were made to hold an all.day SER
vice. It was largely attended. and my
uncle that day, for the first time since his
marriage, forty years ago, got out his
high silk hat and wore it. shall never
forget how odd 1t looked, for, Of course, il
was much out Of style and resembled an
antique relic. Well, would you believe
it, before he got home big banks Of clouds
came up, and never saw it rain harder.
OF course, as my uncle had not taken an
umbrella with him that morning, his
antique hat was ruined. The other
people ali attributed that rain to the
many supplications that were offered up
that day, but have always had smother
theory as to what brought 1t on. think
1t was because my uncle wore his silk
| hat ~

keepers were afraid to sell whis-

his wound with smmonis snd had giv=n
him little whisky. He felt scarcely any

and arm were swollen 10 nearly twice
their nssursl s;zs.
The first thing DR.. Dunning did was to
give him dose of whlsky, one ounce and
hslf. This is about three times as much
IS the ordinary drink Of whisky. Gore was
put to bed in Ward No. 8 on the top loor
OF the hospital, and the first thing done
was to cut out the flesh where the snske's
fsngs hsd struck. The wound wss dressed
in ammonia ard the arm was bsndaged
with cloths saturated with it. Whisky
has been frequently administered in doses
Of an ounce aud half. The OBJECT is to
keep him continually drunk. He lies in
stupor nearly all the time. Once in

what his chances we're, ana seemed badly
frightened. He braced up little when
tn doctor told him there was still some
hope. Five grains Of carbonate of am

hearts action and SO shake OF the deadly
lethsrgy that follows the snake bite.
Father Gallagher Of St. MarY's church
visited Gore twice on Monday night and
pr spared him for death. He visited him
yesterday and in the morning the sick
mans brother Richard also called on him.
Cores arm was still much swollen yester-
day. 1t had grown neither larger nor
smaller. The skin was dark red and the
flesh quite hard. This redness, a symp-
tom Of malignant cellulitis, had spread
throughout the upper portion Of his
body. His pulse WAS ninety. Gore
drinks a little cruel and beef tea
occasionally and ate some soft
boiled eggs yesterday. II is too late
now for amputstion. The poison has
spread too far. Gore and one Of his
brothers were bitten by copperheads
little over year ago, and were sick from
the bite for nearly three months. The
fact that he allowed so much time to 60

made William Cores case hard one,

He Was Lonely Without o Mate SO He
HANGED Himself on a Door.
Philadelphia Times.
A large pescock owned oy Mr.. William
Stephen who lives on Front street, Har-
risburg, deliberately committed suicide
By hanging last week. The bird, which
was called John, was one of the finest
specimens of its species, and had mag,
nifcent tail measuring two yards In
length. John had been raised
az pet from small fowl,
and was so tame that he would an
swer the call of his name and was accus
toned to feed from the hands OF his mis-
tress. For some time he has shown eigns
Of loneliness without mate, and mas
been calling loud snd mournfully for q
Companion.
JOIN refused to eat his breakfast yester-
outbuildipg g, which was his favorite resort.
he was given plenty OF corn and water and
left to take bis meal when he pleased.
Shortly after II O'Clock hired man saw
the peacock's head sticking through
hole in the door Of the building. An
examination showed that he was hanging
by the neck with his feet sc veral inches
from the floor and WAS quite dead. A
close Investigation led to the belief that
John had committed suicide. The hole,
about three inches Ia diameter, was fully
four feet from the floor. Near the door
was small box. 1t is supposed that
john stood on this box, poked his head
through the hole and then jumped OF the
perch.

Texas, the daily temperature in the At
lsntic cosst ranging from 80 to 50 below
normal, while In the central valleys the
temperature was only from u to g below
The season from January to May 26
c ,ntinues cold throughout the northern
states, the large deficiency in tempera.
ture previously reported in the northwest
having been increased by the cool weather
of the past. The average daily tempera-
ture for the season Ia the spring wheat
region of the northwest has been from s.
to 70 colder than usual, retarding the
season from two to three weeks. In
MARYLAND and the middle states the Sea.
SON is about one week late, while in the
southern states and the OHIO valley the
conditions differ but eighty from nor.

Rain fslls-There has been large ex-
cess Of rain fall on the Atlantic
