Hrs Folrv Cost Him His Lrre.

NEWPORT, Ark. May 9.-News was
received here today Of the killing of Peter
Smith at Fisher. a station on the Cotton
Belt railway twenty miles from here,
Smith seems to be Of a foolhardy dispo-
sition, fond of daring and reckless deeds.
one of his ~faYorite pastimes was to mount
a last horse aud gallOp ahead OF a passen-
ger train on the track for about 4 half a
mile to the crossing, where he wonll turn
and laugh at the traInmen as the train
sped by. His success in defeating the
train to the crossing on his horse encOur
aged him to try it with a mule. Accord
ingly he saddled his mule yesterday and
as the train started set tut ahead OF it in
full gallop. 1t became evident in a short
time to the bystanders that Smith would
not be able to reach the crossing and es-
cape being run over. He seemed to real
ize bis danger for he urged the animal to
do its best. The train continued to gain
on him very fast. 1t rot so close as to
make it dangerous for him to turn aside
and leave the track. When only a few
yards ahead of the engine the mule
stumbled and fell. 1t rolled over the rail.
but Smith, the rider. was run over by the
train. His head was cut off, both legs
cut from his body aud his body scattered
along the road for some distance. The
pieces were collected and placed together
and buried IN the village cemetery.

New YORK, May 9.-The World will
say tomorrow: The shipments of gold
last week have rarely been exceeded within
a like period, and they gave to the bears
the long coveted opportunity to turn
things their way. AS a matter of fact. it
was not SO much the amount exported
that sent a chill through Wall street ss
the mystery surrounding the movement
and the indeiniteness as to the causes
which have led up to it.
Since the close OF March the exports of
gold and silver approximate $25 900, 900,
and many bankers are OF the opinion that
the shipments are forced; in other words,
hat the foreigners suffer loss in order to
get gold, and that the whole thing re-
solves itself into an exchange operation.
The apprehension felt as to the present
loss of gold, however, is to some extent
sentimental.
AS the director of the mint shows, we
have produced 1912, 920. 900 in gold in
the last sixteen years. and in that time
our net imports were 500, Acc, 600, al
though from May, 1888, to July, 1889,
the export reached over SOL 400, 900. lie
places our stock of gold on tn, LIST OF this
mouth at $500. OOO, 900.
1t is argued from all these facts tina,
the excitement and depression consequent
upon gold exports is hardly warranted
and spectators are responsible for the
trouble.

WORST EVER KNOWN.
Michigan Pine Lands Swept
by Terrible Fires.
Several Towns in Danger of
Being Wiped Out.
Fires in Wisconsin Forests
Checked by Rains.

DETROIT, May "a fire was raging
in the upper central counties OF the lower
peninsula today the like of which has
never been known. A line of fame
reaches almost without a break from Ma
son county on Lake Michigan, to Iosco
ountv. on Lake Huron, with the forests
of Lake, sOsceOla. Ulare. Gladwin. Oce-
nav and Altoona all ablaze. Another fire
OF scarcely less magnitude exists in the
upper peninsula. The incline OF the
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic railroad
through Marquette, H~oughton. Baraga
and Ontanagon counties is in the path of
the flames. Two railroad bridges have
already gone and the telegraph lines are
IN bad shape Fears are entertained that
the fire will reach some towns Last
night the flames swept into Oscoda and
burned out 5000, 900 worth of property.
Great apprehension is felt at Ausable. An
appeal for help has been sent to Alpena.
1t is feared the city will be swept away If
the wind shifts. Thousands of acres OF
pine are burning. Additional reports
now coming in show that a widespread
district is devastated.
Reports from Marquette, Mich. say
that forest fires are burning all over the
copper country. At Cbassell, several
farm houses and barns went up in smoke
and a farm house was consumed. At
Sturgeon river, the Thomas Weston estate
and the Diamond Ditch lose
heavily. Lake Superior from Marquette
to Kewannee point, is fairly black with
smoke and all the fog whistles are kept
blowing constantly. The loss will be
very heavy. At Tawas, on the east
shore, for two days past the air has been
thick with smoke from the immense forest
fires raging in the woods back of the town
and which extend clear to the county line.
lshpeming is surrounded by fire, but
there is no danger to the town. Telegraph
poles and railroad ties are being destroyed
and communication is likely to be cut off
at any time. Nothing but a drenchiug
rain of two days duration can prevent
gprinua damage

New Orleans, Mayor Mad.

New ORLEANS, May 9.-On the 7th
inst, Mr.. Corte, Italian consul in this city,
addressed a communication to Foreman
Chaffee, of the grand jury, charging
among other things that an extra judi
cial body appointed by the mayor from
the beginning premeditated, for political
purposes, the killing of the prisoners"
This statement has given the mayor great
%offenso, the extra judicial body to whIoh
reference is made being the committee of
fifty appointed by his honor Immediately
after the killIpr of Chief Hennessy. That
they shIaid De Characterized as a muir
derous body fJr political purposes has oc-
casioned great Indignation. The commit
tee has commenced the preparation of a
report which will give in detail their con-
nection with the matter. This will be
submitted to the mayor and council Tues
day, and on the basis OF the report the
mayor will take the necessary action lead
ing to the recall OF the italian consul.

P~ITTsBURG. May Is. NJ. Bell, who.
over fifty years ago, was the Abolition
candidate for vice-president, came up
from Washington today to prepare for his
own cremation and the burial of his
ashes. He is IS years old, and Tor over u
decade has been attached to the pension
office, being now recorder. lie has never
been sick but once in his life, and then he
had the grip. He declares that he Is in
perfect health.
Nevertheless, he is making every pre-
paration for his death. He was for years
a cO-labOrer with DIR. Lemoyne, who
established the first drematory in America
At Washington, Pa, and it is there that
MIR. Bell wants his body incinerated He
will tomorrow complete necessary arrange
ments. While here today he ordered two
urns for his ashes-a rough one of crock
cry and a finer one OF glass. The two will
cost 81. so.
"A poor man cant afford to die nova
days, even il he has had the GRIP be
said, in speaking OF economy in funerals.
He explained that his wife had died re
Gently and it had cost entirely too much
to bury her.
Il concluded to make my funeral cost
as little as possible" Le continued; not
so much to econOmize, but because | had
studied the matter and realized hat some
thing must be done to make the people
understand that expensive funerals are not
right. My burial will not cost my family
over S25 or $50 at the highest estimate. -

An English traveller relates that he
was once on the road with Il company
of native followers, when there came
on Il shower. As the rain ceased a
brilliant rainbow appeared. AT this
all his servants covered their mouths
with their hats to escape the poisonous
Tapors which, as they declared, are al
ways given forth by rainbows.
The EnglishInan, as a matter of
course, laughed at their foolishness, and
kept his hat on his head.
The curious feature of the adventure
was that when he had gone only a few
hundred yards he was by some coinci-
hence seized with a sudden fit of vom-
ting.
He received no sympathy, and with
out doubt his misfortune will long be
sited in that neighborhood as fresh
proof of the rainbow's baneful infiu-
spce-

The Bed Closed on Her.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The long cir
culated joke on the folding bed came true
in Washington last night. Smothered
screams and groans aroused the whole
neighborhood in the fashionable north
western section of the city. And when
the door Of a chamber was forced a lady
was found shut up in a folding bed. She
had forgotten some catch or spring when
she pulled down the bed. When she
climbed IN the whole thing went up with
a slam, and held her there head down
ward. She tainted upon being released,
and the policeman who arrived upon the
scene a little late, but jealous, was utilized
to firing in the nearest doctor.

There are two very finely prepared
skeletons Of big snakes in the National
museum, and in making them ready
for exhibition the utmost pains were
taken to preserve the c~artilaginous Ell
tremities of the ribs, which with ordl-
mary treatment are lost. Without these
little pieces of cartilage the serpent's
skeleton car hardly be said to be com
plete, inasmuch as they are the feet
upon which the reptile walks, as il
were. In fact a snake walks on tho
ends of its ribs, and in that manner
achieves locomotion. Some big ser
penis, however, like the boas aud py-
thons, really have hind legs, though
they arc quite rudimentary. Pythons,
you know, are constructors, crushing
their prey in their tolls. They have no
poison glands, but they can bite ter.
r~ificallS with their many teeth, which
turn inward like hooks, so that a per.
son once seized would have little chance
of disoagaging himself save by chop
ping of the head of the animal. -Wesh.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, May 9.-The
much advertised fight between George
Slddons and Tommy White took place in
this city this evening. The first round
started off lively, but for the first few
rounds neither of the " men were
much injured. White. however, had the
best OF the fight up to the twentieth
round, when the tide turned in favor Of
Siddons. and up to the thirty-second
round White was quite weak and Rroggy.
After that he took fresh courage, but up
to the thirty fourth round the fighting
was weak. The fight was declared a draw
at the eGi Of the forty-ninth round. Sid
dOus injured his hani in the forty. eighth
round and had his left eye closed. Whites

New HAVEN, Conn, May An ex-
tremely unusual scene was enacted in the
civil side of the superior court before
Judge Hendrix in this city Yesterday. A
woman wrought up to a high pitch of cx-
element by damaging testimony. arose
from her seat at the counsel's table,
snatched a letter which she recognized as
one she had written to her husband and
which would much compromise her. tore
it up in the presence of the Judge who
commanded her to dcsist. and Their tainted
IN a deputy sheriff 5 arms. Judge Hen
dirk was excited, and the Imposition of
sentence for contempt of court was sus-
pended for the time being by the adjourn
ment OF court, to afford the woman, who
had been removed to a side room, time to
recover her cOmposure.
Charles W. Foster, formerly of this
city, but now Of Springfield, Mass. is the
plaintiff in the suit. He claims that his
wife, who is an unc0mmonly pretty
woman, has been intimate with David
Seaver- Three witnesses had testified for
the plaintiff when the dramatic scene
occurred. Mrs. Foster had written u
letter begging her husband to condone
her offense and live with her. The letter
lay in front of Attorney w. A. Wright,
counsel for Mr.. Foster. Mrs. Foster sat
next her counsel, Rufus f. Pickett.
When she espied the letter her
face famed. She arose. passed behind
Judge Hendrix, reached over the table,
snstched the letter, left the side of the
table and moved toward her sister who
sat in that pant Of the court room set
aside for witnesses. tearing the letter as
she moved. Judge Pickett called to her
to stop and to return The letter. threaten
ing to withdraw from the case if sic did
not, but without avail.
Judge Hendrix ordered the deputy
sheriff to seize Mrs. Foster aud obtain
the letter. By this time the letter was IN
pieces and MIS- Foster was moving toward
the rear window OF the court and was still
tearing it. Deputy Spiegcl grapplcd with
the woman and she tainted. Small pieces
of paper covered the carpet at her feet.
LAWYER Wright gathered them together
afterwards and placed them in an envelope
to be used in the future if necessary.
Charles Foster and his wife were mar
ried seven years ago. They have a little
daughter about 5 years old, whose custody
Mrs. Foster has by decree.
