appeared at The Garland last night
before large audience. The gallery
was jammed and most of the seats in
the lower portion of the house were
occupied. The performance was
something decidedly new and pleas

house did not fail to attest its appre-
citation of jokes, hits and gags" that
were decidedly youthful and fresh.
The clog dancing was something
never before seen in Waco and was
full of merit. Thorn the juggler gave
an exhibition of skill that was as

more than worth the admission.

A DISTR ESSING ACCIDENT.
The Maroon Escape Of a Gentleman
From a Fearful Fate.

A very distressing accident by
which a gentleman nearly lost his
life and a family in the city lost a
pleasant visitor, and the city perma.
nent resident, happened last night
on South Eleventh Street, near the
intersection of Fifteenth street. The
gentleman'S name was Richard Y.
Grant, Jr., Of Schenectady, New
York, from which place he came a
week ago last Thursday, to visit a
former friend in Schenectady, Mr..
James Coleman, on Seventeenth
street, and with the intention OF in.
vesting here and making it his
home, for which purpose he had been
in communication with real estate
men. Mr.. Grant was gentleman
we'll connected at home and part of
the Grant family of Schenectady, cele-
brated for a great mandatory there.
Last night at about half past ten he
left the vicinity OF the Cotton Belt de.
pot to return to the home OF Mr.. Cole.
man, where he was stopping. We
say was stopping, for he is there no
more; he did not even eat breakfast
there this morning.. The night was
very dark, but Mr.. Grant proceeded
on his way without mishap till he
reached the spot on Eleventh street
mentioned at the beginning of this
narrative. There are no street cross.

to cross the street, which he attempt.

effort to extrlcate himself from the
mud, losing both boots in his strug.
giles, which proved unavailing, as he
found himself sinking deeper and
deeper. He PAUSED for a moment to
take breath and think what he should
do, and the pause was fatal mistake,
for, by the time he had collected his
faculties he was sunk in the mud to
his waist, and was sinking an inch
every minute. The most franti,
struggles failed to move limb, Will,
the tenacious mud was sucking hin
down and holding him with gras

THANKSGIVING Service.

The Presbyterian, Baptist, Metho-

will take part in the service.

alarmed, the striking of matches and
lighting of lamps was seen in score
of houses. Men emerged from the
houses and rushed out into the street
dishabille, in quickly gathered gar
nents and some without any at all.
A dozen men rushed to the spot to
see and prevent a tragedy and their
faces paled, for by this time Mr..
Grants shoulders, neck and head
were the only visible part of his body,
and his screams were getting faint
from the terrible pressure Of mud on
his body. Planks were brought and
thrown in the street on which men
stepped carefully with the intention Of
getting cope around the unfortu.
nate mans body. This was found
impracticable and pieces of scantling
were found and used. By means of
these, the ends of which were pressed
under Mr.. Grants arm, he was raised
little, a rope was got about him, ands
by the united effort OF ten men he
was in quarter of an hour dragged
from what in few minutes would
have been his tomb. He was very
much exhausted but received every
attention, the mud was scraped from
him externally and stimulants admin.
istered internally and in an hour he
was able to proceed on his way. Mr..
Coleman's family was in bed when ne
reached the house but they awoke,
opened the door and babe him come
in. He refused and asked for his va.
lise. He would give no explanation,
but insisted on having his valise
which was brought to him, and with.
out word except Of thanks to the
family for their kind treatment of him
he turned away and hurried to the
Missouri Pacific depot. He took the
midnight train in a roundabout way
and by the time that everyone in the
city Will be reading this, Mr.. Richard
Y. Grant will be on his way to Schen.
ectady, New York. 1t used to be the
custom when a man got mihed at a
place to shake the dust of that place
from his feet. That was dry coun-
try and Mr.. Grant was obliged to
scrape off the mud insteau of shaking
off the dust. A gentleman who knew
him and CHANGED to be at the depot
conversed with him a minute as the
, train was coming in. He asked him
ifhe expected to return'to Waco. Mr..
Grant replied that he would come
back in 1888, or II not then a few
years later. The gentleman was sur.
prised at the reply and the sarcastic
tone in which it was uttered, but sup.
posed Mr.. Grant had been drinking
: and thought no more of it.

this? We have already said. Human
nature is far from perfect yet. Many
rogues are born; many others arc easily

is likely enough that the insti:.ct Of
evil living is transmitted; it is certain
that the contamination Of vicious sur
roundings has its natural effect Neces-
sity holds the born felon in a pi,iless
grip. Birth gives theinfant the fatal bent
home-life develops it. The unwiedly
bulk Of modern society is traversed by
hard lines of moral as well rs IF social
cleavage. Crime runs into pockets like
ore in the mine. The Ishmaelitcs dwell
alone and propagate among themselves.
There is nothing to alternate the vicious
strain. We have on the fringe Of the
