WORKS WRONGS.
What q Partner of the Wronged
Man Saws,

II will be remembered that short time
ago the newspapers teemed with an ac
count of alleged Mexican outrages perpe
trated upon an American by the name of
Work. The matter was brought to the
attention of Governor Ross and he in turn
called the attention of Secretary of Stat .
james G. Blaine. Yesterday the governor
received marked copy of the Fort Scott
(Ksnsss) Monitor. The following was
the marked article:
A. W. Clifford, an old Kansas newspaper
man, now resident of st. Louis, Mo-,
with extensive mining interests in the re-
| public of Mexico, who is here 8 tipping
machinery to one of his Mexican mines,
gives the following explanation and opin-
ion of the reported Work outrage:
The statement of Mrs. Mary Work is
exaggerated, and can't believe that she
wrote such a letter. r. @. Work, the
prisoner in question, is associated with
me in mining properties in the state of
Tamaulepas, and at the time of the acci-
dent was superintendent of the Linaus
Land and Mining company, of which am
president. He was not attacked by rob-
bers, as stated, but by a miner under
the influence of liquor wanting to Dor
row money with the evident intent of
picking quarrel-the outgrowth OF i'll
feeling from conflicting interests Ill the
camps. He was accompanied by two
other fellows, miners, who could have
prevented the trouble by controlling
their companion, but through fear of de-
sire to see a difficulty did not do so and
Mr.. Work was forced to defend himself
by killing the man attacking him. He did
the same, as the majority of men would
do under similar, circumstances which left
him, however, in critical condition,
having taken life in foreign country with
two witnesses against his own statement
for his defense. To Mr.. Work and his
family, naturally enough, his trial
apparently has been slow, but in
my opinion it has been as rapid as it
would have been in our own country.
He has had and will have Justice at the
hands of the Mexican court. He has re-
ceived kind and generous consideration
from Governor Prieto, governor of Tam
aulipas, who is known very just man
and particularly friendly to Americans. If
his family has suffered any insults and an
noyanoes ii has come from the ignorant
class, and would have been speedily pun
ished If reported to Governor Prieto di-
rect. Instead of being confined to dun
geon Mr.. Work has had the freedom of
the town in which he was waiting trial,
and, ON several occasions, allowed to visit
other towns under light bond for his ap
pearanoe. In fact, he was treated far bet
ter than he would have been in the United
States under the same circumstances.
would be pleased to see Americans use
their influence to secure Mr.. Works free
dom, but don't approve OF a systematic
and unjust abuse of Mexico and her good
people.

to be on the lookout. WAen
Williams was captured he was going
in the direction of Gonzales, where it is
said his father lives. Williams was lodged
IN the Travis county Jail, and through the
courtesy of Sheriff White STATESMAN re-
porter was permitted to see the prisoner
last night. Williams is thick heavy set

The AuigatOr's Nest.

Alligator's nests resemble haycocks
more than anything else to which they can
be compared. They average about four
feet in height and about five feet in
diameter, and are constructed of grasses
and heritage. First the mother gator de-
posits n layer Of eggs on a floor of NOR
tar, and having covered this with a
stratum Of mud and heritage about eight
inches thick, lays another set Of eggs upon
that, and so on to the top, there being
commonly from 100 to 200 eggs in a nest.
With their tails they then beat down the
tall grass and weeds to prevent the ap-
proach Of unseen enemies. The female
watches her eggs until they are Matched
by the heat of tho sun, and then takes her
brood under her own care, defending them
and providing for their subsistence. DR..
Lutzemburg, Of New Orleans, once packed
one OF these nests for shipment to st.
Petersburg, but they hatched out before
they were started on the long voyage. and
were kept around the doctof's premises,
running all over the house, up and down
stairs, whining like young puppies.-N.

them in q canon in strata ten feet below
the surface, and Judging by their position
and surroundings. they have been lying
there for thousands OF years. The relics
are those Of q mastodon, and, although the

Gent bones to show that the animal was
twice ~ large as any now found on the
face Of the globe, including even the huge
Asiatic elephant. In proportion to the
joints, and estimating according to the an
imals on earth nowadays, the monster was
certainly not less than fourteen feet high.
The joint from the knee to the thigh is
thirty one inches in length, and the swivel
JOINT Is seven inches in diameter, whereas
that Of a horse is only " inches. The
bones are in an excellent state of preserva-

SUSPENDED In Air.

A citizen from the Pacific coast tells OF q
thrilling accident 10 the Canadian Pacific
through express in the mountains. The
rail gave way on q point on the side OF the
mountain high above the Columbia river.
The engine passed over safely hut the two
coaches following swung about and top
pied over. The bank was almost perpen.
dicular aud the cars would have tumbled
several hundred feet into the river had It
not been that the coupling twisted around
and held the tremendous weight. The
weight Of the engine and the balance of
the train prevented the suspended cars
from drawing the whole train down. The
was dreadful. The frightened
passengers were compelled to remain in
their periious position until the train
hands built n platform around and
underneath the hanging ,rs, enabling all
to make their escape. The place where the
accident occurred is considered the most
dangerous ia the mountains.

ACTS LIKE A CHICKEN.
A Modern Aupchausen's Imagination
Turned Loose.

A Modern Aupchauscn's Imagination
Turned Loose.
A remarkable case OF madness, resulting
from . wound inflicted by an angry animal.
has recently appeared near here, writes a
Brazorla, Texas, correspondent. A negro
woman employed by Jos. Middleton, ON
his plantation, while setting a hen to hatch
a nett Of eggs, wished to place more under
her, and raised the fowl from the nest in
orders.to do SO. The hen turned on her and
gave her . peck on the hand SO severe as to
break the skin, drawing at the same time q
few drops Of blood.
As the wound healed up without delay
nothing was thought of the matter, the
woman only mentioning the occurrence
casually to some Of the other negroes on
the place.
Last week, some ten days after the Len
had pecked. the woman began to exhibit
strange freaks Of demeanor. and, from q
gaod- natured, obliging creature, has be-
come so fractions and surlv that all are
afraid to approach her. She refuses all CON-
p~anionship, and wanders about the coun-
try NIL day from early morning. only COM
ing to the house for her meals. If any
attempt is made to confine her or to lay
hands on her, she becomes violently angry
and makes vicious darts and springs to-
ward anyone present.
For days now she has not spoken q
word, but keeps up continually a low,
cluckiug noise, most horribly like that Of
q hen, and sits by the hour scratching in
the earth with her hands and feet. In eat
ing her resemblance to a fowl is displayed
in q most remarkable and shocking man
ner, for her food is taken up by pecking at
it with all tho motions Of a chickens head
while feeding.
All who knew her before her madness
say that her entire expression has under.
gone q change. This is probably true, for her
features now wear q s~harpeued, eager as
pect and her eyes have a most unnaturaliy
hard and bright look. with a bird like way
of glancing about her. At night she re-
fuses to sleep under q roof. and is gener.
ally found hiding about sunset under some
tree or bush. and will vigorously resent
with an angry cackle all attempts to dis
turb her. She is visibly growing weaker,
and physicians who have seen her say that
her death is only a question Of a few weeks
at most.
The negroes about regard her as one be-
witched or "hoodooe1," and cannot be
prevailed upon to approach her, even her
husband and children having deserted her.
People come from all over the country to
see her, while she remains TO appearances
perfectly obvious to her visitors, and
quietly pursues her cluckinR and scratch
ing as long a. she is not interferred with.

KING HuMBERT of Italy, although only
45, is already quite gray. This fact wor-
ries his beautiful queen, and she recently
gave HIM a box Of famous French hair
coloring material and anxiously awaited
the effect of its application. But she was
disappointed. Instead of n more youthful
looking king she found her favorite lap

morning. When she asked for an explana-
ton King Humbert said that he preferred
to try the medicine first upon her dog.
