4 Mean Trick on Mt. Linney.
Charlotte Chronicle

Mr.. R. 4. Linney sat down to a nice
dish, at banquet in Taylorsyille, the
the other night. His friends gave him
'possom supper in honor of Har-
rison's election and somebody took oc-
casion to play mean trick on him. \
big fat cat was killed and baked and
slyly substituted for one of the pos
SONS, and it happened that the suhstl-
tute was placed in front Of Mr.. Linney.
The animal was little tough, but no
one at the table knew the true charac-
ter until after the feast. The party
who is responsible for the trick is not
known, and it is probably good for his
health that such is the case. 1t is re-
ported that both Mr.: Linney and Will
Boger-dined on the cat.

SWALLOWED BY 4 GEYSER.
An English Tourist and his Guide have a
Thrilling Adventure.
From the New York Herald. !.

-' From the New \ ork Herald
BISMARCK, D. T., November 2e.-A
report of thrilling accident or at
tempted suicide comes from the Nation
al Park, where, it is claimed, driver and
a tourist were enguifed in a geyser. 1t
appears that the tourist, whose name is
sSiven as James Mcdonald, of London,
England, insisted on going close to the
Excelsior, whose eruptions have been
Irregular oflate, determined upon look
ing into the crater Of the immense gey-
ser. The driver, who was also acting
as guide, followed him to the bank to
guard against accident. Just as the
Englishman leaned over the verge of
the crater the geyser broke forth with
terrific force, the suction drawing him
and the driver into it and hurting them
back into the air many feet.
Excelsior Geyser is over three hun
dred feet wide at the crater, and throws
out the greatest volume Of water of any
geyser in the park. Fortunately for
the men they were caught in the
strongest current of the upshooting
stream, or they would have been swal-
lowed in the unknown depths Of boil
ing water. AS it is, they were severely
scalded, and there are grave doubts, of
their recovery. Some believe that Nc
Donald intended to commit suicide.
This is the second accident of this
character in the park, and while there
is not the slightest danger to those
who are satisfied with seeing and not
investigating, it is understood that
Congress will be asked to appropriate
money for the building of protective
walls about these curiOsities.

THE HoNDo ACC1DEN T.

Causes of the Wreck in Which -Four
Persons Perished.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
SAN Antonio, March 2.-Divislon Super
intendent Van Week, of the Southern Pa
cifc, furnishes the press the following
explanation of the horrible wreck yester-
day at Hondo, by which four men lost
their lives. The accident was cause by a
stick of bridge timber falling from car
in train %, in charge of Conductor
Thayer and Engineer Crowley, which
broke in two portion of the east span of
the bridge. Train % passed over the
bridge safely, and Engineer Crowley, who
saw the stick fall, notified Conductor
Davidson, of the east-bound freight, whom
he met at HoDdo Station, of the fact, and
told him to stop and examine the bridge
before passing over, which Conductor
Davidson failed to do, hence the accident
to Davidson's train. The Hondo river ID
crossed by bridge consisting of three
spans of tubular iron. Had Conductor
Davidson stopped and examined the
bridge, as cautioned by Engineer Crow
ley, or had Engineer Crowley stopped and
made an examination, the accident would
not have happened. The stick of bridge
timber was 16 feet long and II inches
square. The break was repaired, and
trains passed over at $3.50 o'clock p. m. to-
day,

and make a channel that will enable the
largest ocean vessels to enter. 1t is also

head of the undertaking, and that Jay
Gould is interested in its accomplishment.

deposited in the Commercial National
bank of this city, and have been quietly
buying up all the land that could be
purchased at the mouth of the BraZos.
