A Singular Accident.

DENVER, Col. Aug. ia slngu lar acct
dent happened yesterday on the Denver,
Utah and Pacific railway, near Garfield, in
Boulder county. at that point a track runs
direct to the Mitchell coal mine. The grade
is very steep and it is customary to ship
loaded coal cars to the main track without
the assistance of an engine. Yesterday the
engineer of the passenger train. upon ap
preaching the branch track, stopped and
whstled as usual. He had just started bis
engine again and reached the crossing, when
two heavily laden cars descending the grade,
dashed directly into the engine. The loco
motive was derailed, and as 1t fell engineer
George Hopkins was carried beneath it. The
lever pinned him to the ground, gradually
squeezing him to death, although with not
sufficient force to crush any bones. The
fireman was also badly Injured. but was
spirited away by the officials of the road.
Had the accident occurred second later a
closely packed passenger Car would have
been wrecked doubtless with most disag-
trous results.

SUsPIcIoUs.-A young white woman
named Dunnng died yesterday at her moth
er's home, near Atlanta, Ga, under suspi'
cious circumstances. The mother is the
widow of a man somewhat prominent in
Atlanta in the early days, and the family
has considerable money. Sometime ago two
of the daughters figured in the police circles,
and an investigation showed the girls had
married coored men. one living there and
the other at Springfield, Ohio, Both the
black husbands are bad characters. About
a month ago Susie Dunning, the wife of the
Atlanta husband, died suddenly. Yester-
day the unmarried sister alec died, and the
second death, following the first so quickly,
satrscted the attention of the police, and an
investigation is being made. The theory is
that the husbands are responsible, the object
being to get possession of the DnnniDg
money.

The story of how Gen. Andrew Jackson
got the name of Old Hickory is again going
the rounds, and will be new to some young
readers. During the Creek war he had q
bad cold, and his soldiers made for him a
shelter of hickory bark. The next morning
tipsy soldier, not knowing who was under
the bark, kicked it over. AS the General,
speeches with rage, struggled out of the
ruins, the soldier yelled, Hello, Old Hick-
DRY Come out OF your bark and take a
drink !" When the soldiers saw Jackson
shaking the bark from his uniform they gave
three cheers for "Old Hickory" and the
name stuck.
