Lucy Lewis, aged sixteen, was shot and in
stantly killed at her home near Samaamish
lake, Wash, by the accidental discharge OF
her brothers. rifle.
3 A boiler explosion ut a mill in Munster,
W~estphalia, killed the owner, his wife, his
mother and the fireman, besides two en-
ployes.
A prairie fire ten miles wide is sweeping the
Minnesota bottom lands and the town o.
Big Stone City is threatened. Hundreds of
farmers have lost all their hay and stock,
and the fire, which was started q short time
ago by q party OF hunters, is beyond con-
troll.
The town Of Barker, Montana was almost
destroyed by fire. The fire started in a
miners camp, and swept from there up the
valley, burning oil the eastern portion OF
the camp. 1t is supposed that Ellis, his wife
and tour children lost their lives. There are
also three men missing. Barker is the bust

The mineral deposits are on both the cost
and west sides Of the camp.
4 Further details have been received of the
accident which befel the railway train on
which the shah of Persia was travelling
through Russia, homeward bound.
It seems that O portion of IN ~enbankment
over which the train was passing suddenly
gave way, and seven carriages, including
the one in which the shah was seated, were
hurled from the rails and pr~ecipitated to the
foot of the enbankment. The shah displayed
great presence of mind. Just before his
carriage rolled over on it's side he jumped
from the window and fell into u deep mud,
whence he was afterwards dragged out by
the ,trainmen. For a moment the shah's
danger was extreme.

Race Riots In the South.

Recently O train with colored cxcursionists
arrived at the Gouldsboro depot in Gretna
from Baton Rouge, La. A large number Of
people were OF the streets, owing to an
alarm of fire. Many colored men and women
were rear the depot awaiting the train. As
the train neared the depot one of the excur-
~sionists, in attempting to jump of, fell to
the ground. Some unknown person cried
"Look at the black devill' whereupon the

bullets piercing the nose ola white man NAM

children ran in all directions screaming with
their lunch baskets, hats, and losing their
shoes, etc. Ed. Levy (colored) of AlgierE
was shot in the left arm, and q coIored wo-
man named Fleming was fatally shot in the
back. e -
The stories of the row and it's origin
say that before the arrival of the
train there was a large force of armed white
men awaiting it's arrival. and that some ten
minutes after the train had stopped and
after q portion of the excursionists had
reached the street cars. and while Others
we're still IN board the train, white men,
without any sort of provocation, opened fire
on the crowd The white mems version Of
the affair as given by eye witnesses differs
very materially from that of the negroes.
They state that there were only some halt
dozen white men concerned in the affair, and
that the shooting was commenced by the
negroes before the train had stopped.
News is also received of q small race war
near Shell Mound, Miss. A telegram from
Greenwood says Our sheriff received infor-
nation from Sunnyside, fifteen miles above
Shell Mound, that there were Ave hundred
negroes massed in the johnson field near
there, n help was needed. He wired
the governor the situation and asked for
troops, which was responded to promptly
by Gov. Lowry in person, bringing with him
Ave companies of militia. Gov. Lowry has
two c~ompaniesto %Sunnysidet to report to the
sheriff, who went up there to see ii he could
do anything with the negroes. The steam
boat running between here and Sharkey has
just come in, bringing q number of women
and children. Gov. Lowry cautions the peo-
pie to be free from all violence and not vic.
late the law in any particular, but assist the
county authorities to enforce it. There have
been several reports from the scene of the
trouble, one of which was that the negroes
had LETT the vicinity of %Sunnyside, breaking
up in small bands of twenty or thirty and
seemed to be sulky and mad.

Going 1t Alone.

Already there begins to arise from
summer resorts that cry in the text of
the old Hard Shell sermon: ''Men is
source and women is plenty" Girls are
good and pretty, and with wardrobes gor-
geous to look upon, but alas! there are no
young men to appreciate it all. 1t is the
same old story. The boys best worth
having are too poor to go to summer re-
sorts and wear six costumes day. It
really does seem as if all the civiliza-
ton was becoming like England and
Massachusetts,, where there are not men
enough to go around. Possibly in time
large per cent. of American girls will
have to go without husbands, Looking
ahead to that time, a good many seem
already preparing for it. They are form
ing clubs of their own, and going on
long, delightful excursions, to the sea
shore and to the mountains, in parties
composed only of women. Long rides
and tramps in the country are pleasanter
when there are men along, of course,
but they can be made very jolly with
out. In cities women in the trades
and professions rent flats and go to
housekeeping in dainty and delightful
way. They seem quite happy, apparent
ly ceasing altogether to look for the hazy
hero who is expected to come into every
woman's life as disturbing element.

Long Time Bonds.

Various railroad companies that are
staggering under load of debt are col
Letting all their outstanding obligations
and refunding the amount of them under
long time bond, at a uniform low rate
Of interest. The mortgage bonds have
different periods to run, from twenty
five to 100 years. Railroads that make
such terms at present have probably the
advantage, both as to past and to future
time. Corporations that issued fifty
year mortgages ten or twenty years ago
now find themselves obliged to pay an
annual interest considerably above the
current market rate; On the other hand,
interest was never 80 low in the history
of the Union as it is now.
It is by no means certain this will con-
tinue. Corporations and individuals,
therefore, that can escape near payment
Of debts by giving long time mortgages
at "a to 4 per cent. viii find this an easy
way out, and be able to shove their debts
off upon posterity.

issued fifty years bonds at Z per cent.
Some of the new Erie bonds are for
eighty years. When the New York Gen.
trail leased the West Shore road, three
years ago, $50, 600, 900 bond was issued
at per cent. that had 475 years to run.
Possibly by the time that debt comes due
mankind will need neither railroads nor
interest money. The Illinois Central has
out various seventy year bonds at from
81 to 8 per cent. The Kentucky Central
hassome 100 year 4 per cents, while the
New Jersey Central has $50 200, 600 5 per
cents that run 100 years. Atchison and
Topeka bonds run fifty years.
A gentleman well informed on rail-
road topics says there are now in the
stock market fifty-year railroad bonds
to the amount of $500, ZOO, 900, and of
thirty and forty-year bonds, $5O0,000,-
600. In Great Britain railroads have
carried the long bond business SO far
that their mortgages are practically
never paid. Their permanent debts
amount to 81, 500, O00,0 900. Their rate Of
interest is from to 8 per cent, with
very small amount at 6'per cent.

The Dissecting Propensity.

AAO DsSSSSeAAAes ANoR0ASasSs
Following the case of Mind Reader
Bishop comes from Paris the story Of q
man who died in a strange way at Chan
lilly. near Paris Physicians examined
him and pronounced him dead. They
prepared for an autopsy. The supposed
dead man was stretched upon the table,
and the dissecting knives We're used.
One or two strokes had been given, when
suddenly the subject sat upright, opened
his eyes, looked around him an instant,
and fell back dead indeed. he had been
in cataleptic trance. The touch Of the
sharp instruments had in the same in
slant brought him back to consciousness
and destroyed his life.
OF course the dissecting table, with all
its CHASTITY accompaniment, is necessary
to give students knowledge of surgery
and anatomy. But it may also be that
familiarity with dissecting room scenes
destroys to some extent in the minds of
physicians the sacred regard for the hui
man body, living or dead. 1t was not
quite without reason, perhaps, that butch
ers were forbidden by the old English
law to sit ON jury that tried man for
his life.
1t is, perhaps, quite true also that
many an armless or legless veteran
goes crippling through the world today,
whose limb might have been saved had
army surgeons been a little less hasty in
performing amputations. At any rate,
it is to be hoped that recent events will
tend to make doctors restrain their dis
secting instincts until the propriety and
necessity of autopsy cannot possibly be
called into question.
