SKINNED ALIVE!

A way back IN the fifties, when the
IN California fever ran high, a party of
nmen started across the plains to the
land OF gold In that party was a
young man that vowed that he would
kill the first Indian that he saw. After
several days travel into the Indians
territory the young man saw young
Indian squaw, and true to the rash
vow he had made, he shot and killed
the squaw The Indians in that vicin.
ity pursued and overlook the party and
demanded the murderer, and, to save
their own lives, the party was forced
to give him up. The Indians then
forced the party to remain on the spot
until they did their bloody work they
then took the young man and actually
skinned him alive in the presence and
sight of his companions, who were
helpless to relieve him. This was cruel
treatment, but it seems like just retri-
button.
The process still progresses. A man
came to town the other day to buy
some goods-did not go to w. NJ.
CHRISTIANS, so got Skinned.
A fellow thought he could buy goods
from Others cheaper than from w. M.
Christian, and that's how he got
skinned.
Another man took a bait of a price on
one article less than cost at cheap
John store, then bought the rest Of his
goods at the same place, and he got
Skinned.
Moral-Buy all your Dry Goods, Gro
ceries, Notions, Boots, Shoes, Crock
cry or Queensware, Glassware, Sewing
Machines and Produce from w. M.
CHRISTIAN, and you will never get
Skinned.

ANorHRR .wREcK.

There was more excitement this
morning when the rumor was started
that there had been another bad wreck
at Rawlings Water Station and
that fireman and conductor
had been killed and that the fireman
was very badly bruised up. Naturally
inconsequence of the evening previous
there was more feeling than usual.
There were demands At the telegraph
Iofflce for information but none could
BE- obtained and II one time there was
information to be given. There was
at one time prospect Of the officers
being mobbed, but wiser heads suggest
ed to the contrary. From the most
reliable information that THE WORLD
can obtain at the time of going to
press one man was quite badly injured.
Much property of the Railway Compa-
ny was demolished and trains delayed
on the tracks for hours.
1t was also reported that there had
been a very disastrous rear end col
lision at Weverton Junction and that
considerable damage has been sus-
tanned. The facts furnished The
WORLD were to the effect that engine
No. 81 collided with caboose near the
Harper's Ferry bridge. The result was
that the caboose was telescopcd and
the engine win have to be tished out Of
the canal. No one was hurt.
AT last accounts this afternoon the
road was almost completely blockaded.
Freight trains were lying on every
siding, and passengers were unable to
go either east or west.

American securities for her benefit.
When, therefore, he fell in battle and
her life was in danger, she found an
opulent provision in this country for
herself and her eight children. The
widow of the terrible Barrios is an anna
BILE and accomplished woman and an
ornament Of the highest American so
ciety. Now that Spanish newspapers
report that she is engaged to marry
Senior Martinez Roda, member Of the
Parliament Of Spain and wealthy
resident of Granada, much public i'm
terest is manifested in the announce
ment.
The manner Of Barrios' wooing her
was eminently characteristic Of that inn
perious statesman and warrior. She
was the daughter of Juan Aparicio, pro-
prietor Of large coffee plantation Of
Quezaltenango, Guatemala. On visit
to her father Barrios saw her beauty
and asked her hand in marriage. Apart
clio declined the honor Of having the
President for a son-in-Iaw, on the
ground Of her being too young to
marry, and his daughter fed from
home to escape the attentions Of her
lover. Thereupon Bariios put her father
in prison and kept him there until the
young lady returned and avowed her
willingness to share her life with the
tyrant. The pair thus rudely mated
lived very happily together.
Young Barios, Of whom the papers
have spoken recently in connection
with civil troubles reported to have
taken place in Guatemala, is not son
of Mime. Barr1os. he was born before
her marriage to the President, of a.
mother said to haye been in an OBJ
scure social position.
