A TRAGEDY IN THE SWAMP.
Making a Quick Choice Between Two
Horrible Modes of Death.

From the Dc roit Free Press
1t was down on the Great jackson route
freight train had met with an accident and 90
our train going south was of time and had TO
run in on a siding and wait for the lightning
express coming up from New Orleans. Many
Of us were strolling about, picking black berries
or gathering flowers, when some one suddenly
shouted:
Everybody keep quiet and listeni Hark!"
IL was the deep, PARKWAY bay of q hound
and after half a minute We realized that 10
was coming nearer.
1.-The dogs are running deerr' shouted ons,
''and II We string out We may get Q shotp"
Fifteen or twenty men, each with q revolver,
strung out along the track, and Just then We
heard the iron rails begin TO signal that the ex-
press was coming. Two minutes later We heard
her whistle. There were three or four dogs In
the chase, and ss they drew nearer IL was svi-
dent that the game would cross the track below
the bridge. We ran down to it, though no one
cared 10 risk the crossing We were hardly there
when q coal-black negro, bsreheaded and In
rags, leaped out of the bush on the track and
stood facing US. The dogs had somehow lost
HIM, and were bayIng in the thickets forty rods
away.
What his crime was we could not say. He
was q big fellow, and he stood there, arms
folded across his heaving breast, his face had .
terrible look. He was only pistol shot away,
but no one raised weapon On the contrary,
one Of the crowd shouted to him:
'Of the track or you'll be killed."
He turned and saw the express thunderinR
down the level stretch and then faced us again,
The engineer blew an alarm, but he stood there
like q rock. The train was running over that
stretch as pigeon flies, sparks of IRE flashing
from the rails and great cloud OF dust vhirI
ing behind it, and the speed could NOT
even be checked. The black man looked
neither TO the right nor the left The
dogs were coming nearer, but they we're

AsH-DUMP ETIQUETTE.
The ash dump has its etiquette and regula-
tions as strict as those of the drawing-room
To begin with, each cartman must await his
proper turn for emptying his load. The great
dump at street, for instance, Is established
for the purpose chiefly of filling in what
once all enormous hole. Already many hun
dred square feet of land suitable for residences,
and very valuable, has been made in this way
and elevated somewhat above the level of the
adjoining streets In this manner alone the
ash pile may be said to have created fortune
and to be making dollars every day. 1t is under
the supervision OF an overseer who takes care
that the dumping shall be done in the proper
places, and each cart must take its turn in
reaching the spot where the deposits are to be
made for the time being, In the due course of
the dumps construction.
Among the people who gather things upon
the ash-dump u rigid set of rules as to pro-
priety and rights is observed. For instance,
Eo lady would think of intruding upon pile
Of broken bricks already pre-empted by another
lady. Nor would one gentleman seek to pos
sess himself Of an old shoe that another gentle
man had previously put his foot on. 1t may be
that at some ash-dumps heap of assorted cor
sets and bustles accumulated by one lady would
be cabbaged by another lady while the first
lady was away al lunch; but such thing has
never occurred at street. There etiquette
on these points and many others is exceedingly
strict
