Hat and Shoes Found in a Depot
Saloon.
This morning report was brought
down town that man had fallen in
to a cellar full of water under McDer-
motifs saloon on Austin street and
had been drowned. A LIGHT re-
porter heard of it and FASTENED to the
scene as fast as the available motor
power of q street car could be util-
lied.
Entering the saloon he insinuated
himself into the good graces of the
bar tender and by leading questions
began fishing for the details of the
tragedy. The bar keeper wore face
as long as an undertaker's at fun
eral and in all solemnity gave the
CHASTITY facts, saying that the body
could be seen floating in the cellar
beneath the house, pending the ar
rival of the coroner and the reporter
was given permission to go below and
see it.
The eager newspaper man made his
way to the rear of the building and
descended the cellar steps. There
were the unfortunate mans hat and
shoes where he had deposited
them before he had ventured
into the Shiny pool, which
is six feet deep. With a conscious
ness that he certainly was on the
track of horrible mystery, the re-
porter peered long and earnestly
through the bars, but no glimpse Of
the dead man could be had.
AS the LIGHT man re-appeared In
the barroom the faces of the bystand-
ers were ripping all over with mis-.
chievous wrinkles, and a general
laugh was set up at the reporters ex-
pense. A seedy looking tramp init
mated that as he had been SO clever
ly taken in, it behooved the reporter
to set 'em up IN Acknowledgement,
but this nice proposal was declined
and the scribe was allowed to depart
with the refreshing information that
he was only one of a possible 100 who
had likewise been victims OF the
joke.
But the LIGHT man saw the dirty
pool and will bet the sanitary inspec-
tor ought to see it. ~.'.-

cred with wire cloth. There was only
one window in each room, and that was
provided with a sliding sash, with wire
cloth tackled over the outside. The out
side door was also a screen, but this was
left standing open during the day.
After breakfast one of the natives
fixed poultice of leaves for my wound,
and l lay down in hammock III the
inner room. The three other white
men went off up the river, accompanied
by all the natives except two one.to
attend me and the other to see to the
cooking I lay facing the doors, and
had a view of the fire and strip OF
country beyond it. AT nine o'clock we
heard the reports of rifles far away.
Half an hour later, just as 1 was ele'
waiting my head so that L could read
book which was at hand, saw a tiger
spring upon the two men. Tney were
not at the fire, but few feet away,
under q tree, and their faces were
toward me. The animal had therefore
approached unseen. He knocked both
down, and struck them after they were
down, and then stood over their pros
trate bodies, and hooked at the forest.
This was hardly ten feet from the open
door. 1t was so sudden that / lost hall

opened the other way. With his eyes
and nose against the wire he growled in
a way to send the chills over me, but ]
feared to move finger for fear he
would make a dash and come through
the cloth. He did rake his teeth along
the surface, and also strike the wire

There is an old desk in the United
States Engineers office at Baltimore
which was used by General Robert e.
Lee when he was in charge of the Office
great many years ago. The desk is
about four feet long by three feet wide,
and is made of white pine veneered
with mahogany. The central part of
the top is raised and inclined at con-
venient angle for writing, leaving a
space on each side for papers. A more
valuable relic OF General Lees occu-
pancy OF the Office and one that will in
crease in value is large volume con-
tanning the records and copies of the
correspondence of the Office made by
General Lee and signed with his we'll
known signature. The book has been
mutilated in some parts by persons cut
ting out the autograph of General Lee.
Hereafter the book will be carefully
guarded, and no one will have an oppor-
tunity to cut out the remaining sigma

PEKlN'S TOY RAILWAY.
Limo Three Miles Long which DIverta
the Chinese Emperor.

the Chinese Emperor.
About two years ago they presented
complete miniature railway to the En-
peror through ri Hung Chang, and the
line, which is about three miles long, is
laid down within the imperial city.
The young Emperor is very much in-
terested in it's workings, and spends a
great deal of his time in riding to and
fro in the beautifully appointed little
carriages.
He was greatly struck with the toy
railway, and it's influence upon the
recent DEGREES has been very consider
able. The old reactionary party among
his advisors were adverse to the minia-
ture line being laid down within the
precincts of the sacred city, and it was
very near being returned to the donors.
But the government was afraid lest it
should give offence to the French, who
are greatly feared and respected since
they burned and sunk the Chinese feet
at Foochow and inflicted such disastrous
defeats upon the Chinese legions in the
South.
In the end the present was accepted,
but the high authorities would not
allow any foreigners to have hand in
laying down or working the model rail-
way.
The result was when they started the
little engine they could not stop it, and
great CONSERVATION was occasioned to
the occupants in the palace by their in
ability to control the strange contriv-
ance of the foreigners, which dashed
along the line till it was pulled up by
coming in contact with mound of
earth.
Since then, however, French driver
has been procured, and tho Emperor is
frequent traveller upon tie cars
