Accident to the Local.

The Sacramento local train met with q
severe accident at Pinole at 6 o'clock last
evening. The freight train going west left
the switch open. The local train was run
on the side track, where several box-cars of
lumber were standing and were all demol-
ished. Engineer Clark and the fireman
jumped, the former striking on his shoul-
der, dislocating it. The passengers had a
lively shaking-up, but none were seriously
hurt. The only damage done was the
pulling out of the draw-head of the bag
gage car, the bursting of the water tank on
the engine and some damage to the freight
car. The train was delayed two hours by
the accident

Police Court Trides.

In the Police Court yesterday, Frank
Nichols, charged with burglary, on motion
of the City Attorney was discharged.
The case of Mrs. Elliott, charged with
selling liquor to an Indian girl, was tried
before jury. The prosecution failed TO
prove that the girl was an Indian, and the
case was dismissed. Thus again is notori-
GUS woman allowed to go on technical
ity.
The charge of buying stolen property
against Annie Manning was dismissed.
She earnestly requested that the charge of
battery preferred by her against officer
Arlington, be also dismissed. The City
Attorney did not object. The Court took
the matter under adyisement.

The BEST YET.

Were there ever richer styles in Window
shades !?
We doubt it.
Imagine handsome nut, cream or slate grounds,
the entire surface thickly and evenly strewn with
small gold vines and traceres not unlike the pat
terms in rich wall paper, and each curtain finished
with linen fringe knotted with silk.
Two dollars may be above the average price
for Window Shades, but it's certainly little enough
for such beauty.

THE NEW-FANGLED FASHION.

How loose round my waist were the
clothes of my childhood,
As my doubled-laced corset reminds me
with pain.
The slip that wore, when used to chop
stove-wood,
Had more real enjoyment than this
hustle and train.
The hustle, ] know, is thing highly
treasured
By all ladies bnilt on the mockingbird
style,
But give me that garment with looseness
unm assured
The old mother hubbard, which weak
men revile.
The dear mother hubbard,
The loose mother hubbard,
The time -honored hubbard,
Which beats any style.
In this modern day the loose hubbard is
slighted,
'1is not lowed to grace female forms
on the street;
But the back-actiOn hustle is too large to
be blighted,
So holds perfect sway with the light
weight elite.
There're all kinds of bustles, all shapes
and all sizes;
There all artificial, but wonderfully
made:
There's the cloth, steel and wooden, and
each harmonizes
With the size of the dear one who
needs their said aid.
The Iron-bound hustle,
The wire woven bustle,
The ld-fashioned hustle
So wonderfully made.
Now, the work of real art is in feminine
complexion,
And not, like the hustle, concealed from
our view,
But it stands ont triumphant and defes
all detection,
As if we were color-blind and near
sighted, too.
There's the blondine decoction, tire hair
wash infection,
'And the best hair killer" say bald
headed few,
And the war-paint complexion which
greets our inspection,
As the whitewashed makeup and flesh
colored stew.
The blondne complexion,
The whitewashed complexion
The war-paint complexion
Will carry you through
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1888-09-07

We tried to get the officer to wait

he was dead. The nervous shock
was the climax, which terminated
the tremendous strain under which

had fallen in the street to be found |
by our ambulance.

From Gainesville | dropped down

lumber factory from ground floor
to third story, pointing out the
patrons of the DEMOCRAT STAR as
we called their names, and intro
ducing US TO each in turn. On the
third floor, in the saw filing depart
ment, was met by Messrs. G. G.
Champlin and John w. Baxter,
who gave me one of those old
country hand-shakes that made me
