A Continued Success.

The Tivoli Garden theatre gave an
entire change of bill last night to a full
house with number of new perform
ers. The performance ofMr. and Mrs:
Ed Leon on the flying trapeze and
the La Shelle act, was particularly
good, while the cOmicalities of John
Coburn made both the farmer and
his dog laugh. The Victoria Brothers
are old timers in their business, and
were well received. This is free
show and the good entertainments
given always draw full house. Sew
eral new artists of ability are an
nounced for next week.

AN EMBRYO BEN THOMPSON.
She Asked For Bread and He Gave
Her a Pistol Ball.

she ASKED or Bread anu ne SoNC
Her a Pistol Ball.
"Give me a piece of bread, !" said a
hungry little colored girl named Lucy
Smith, to Cornelius McFadden, aged
10 years, who resides with his parents
on Olive street. Eyes, I'll give you
some bread" responded Cornelius.
Lucy took a seat and waited, as she
thought, for the bread but instead of
getting it Cornelius got his fathers
pistol and stopping behind her he
fired two shots. One ball took effect
Just below the left shoulder blade,
and her wound is regarded to be
serions one.
The parents endeavored to conceal
the crime but it leaked out yesterday,
and Police Officers Van Ripper and
Beck were sent to investigate matters.
Finding the girl injured and an un-
doubted assault with intent to kill,
they arrested the boy and he is now
in the county Jail. As he is too young
to be dealt with by law, the case pre-
sents an instance showing the great
need for refOrmatory in Texas.
The boy insists that the girl shot
herself, but his statement is negattVed
by the position of the wounds.

Bitten by Rattlesnakes.

On Sunday night a man named
Cavenaugh went to Luce's lumber
yard, on Avenue c, to get drink of
water, and had to place his hand un-
der some lumber to get a cup hidden
there. In so doing rattlesnake con-
cealed there bit him on the main ar
terry of the wrist. His arm and body
swelled rapidly, and but for young
age of the snake, which was only two
years old, and the prompt remedies
taken, he would have died. AS it is,
he is recovering. He was nephew of
James Burns who died a few years
since from the effects of a rattlesnake
bite.
A Mexican, living near Berg's mill
was badly bitten by rattlesnake,
and was brought to the city yester-
day. He was treated with the usual
remedies at Kalteyer's drug store, and
is doing well.

but the local business fills them up
and signs them, becoming responsible
for his action. And his responsibility
is great, for the recent amendments to
the postal law was directed mainly
against such boycotting, black mail
ing circulars, and the law declares
them to be unavailable matter. And
what is more it prescribes heavy
fine and imprisonment for each and
every offense. A creditor who sends
this letter to a debtor places him
self in the debtors power for if
he hands the letter to the
federal district attorney it will make
it very warm for the creditor and con-
viction will follow. Many of these
circulars are being used, doubtless in
ignorance, but wise creditors will let
them severely alone or they may
strike an irate debtor who will re-
taliate in such way as shall mulct
the creditors into a heavy fine and
throw him into prison.

Damage Done BY Avaiancaes.

DnmnGo DOne Dy AenlAncuebs
We have to go back for something like half
= century to find in the history of Switser-
land and Piedmont any record Of calamity
from avalanches at all equal TO that OF the
recent season. The loss of life seems TO have
been greatest on the steepest southern side Of
the Alps, but the loss of cattle and destruc-
ton Of fields and houses on the northern side
has been perhaps greater. Some Of the best
known resorts In the Valais have thus suf-
fered- Randa, in the Zermatt valley, has
been destroyed, and in the Saasthal nearly
all the principal villages have been more or
less ruined. The damage done Is not confined
to the chalets and cattle sheds struck by
masses OF snow, earth and trees which the
avalanche whirls along, but the injury from
the avalanche blast Is still more extensive.
Thus, in Saasgrund, where only part Of the
village is exposed, the other part being pro-
tected by an immense pine wood, the unpro-
tected portion, which includes the Village
church, was shattered by fragments Of the
avalanche. but the doors and windows Of
every house in the village, with hardly q
single exception, were forced in by the nero
concussiou Of air, and the same thing hap
pened at the SimpIon Hospice
The spray of a large avalanche raises o
snow storm Of such fury as to obiige men
more than mile of to run for shelter. The
houses which suffer In this way get rapidly
filed with snow, and the cattle, il not got
out quickly, perish. As Switzerland Is so es-
sentially the playground Of Europe. 1t Ia to
be hoped that the appeal for add for sufferers
made by the English Alpine club will meet
with generous Response. .-Loudon Observer.

der of Glenn with much eireumstan tiality,

operated over this section, and as FAR west
as Columbus and east to, Pitisburg, adding
that Major William g. Carman was chief OF
