is the second son Of Jos. Jones, one of
Utica's oldest and most prosperous mcr-
chants, and is known to every one in
this vicinity as an open-hearted and
honorable young man, possessed of
business ability second to none, and his
future career will be one that he and his
friends will he proud of and can point
to with pride. The esteem and conf.

people was clearly shown on Monday

b. q M. Passenger and Freight Collide.

Wednesday afternoon about o'clock,
the b. & M. wrecking train passed
through Custer, bound for the north, at
the rate Of sixty miles an hour. The
curiosity naturally aroused among our
people prompted inquiries at the depot
and the telephone station, and meagre
reports Of a collision between the morn
ing passenger and south bound freight
train, were obtained. That there bad
been such collision, and that no one
was killed or seriously hurt was all that
could be learned until the Deadwood
dailies brought the particulars Thurs
day evening. About one o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon the two trains met a
mile on the other side of Nahant, sta
ton twenty miles this side of Dead
wood. The passenger had just reached
the summit of divide, and the freight
was just nearing it, consequently neither
was running with great rapidity, and
the results of the collision were not so
serious as they would have been under
any other circumstances. The two en-
gines, the combination mail and bag.
gage car, and one box car, were piled
up in badly wrecked condition. The
other cars did not leave the rails. Eng.
Sarver of the passenger, was slightly in
jured in jumping, and the express mes.
senger was shaken up and bruised
Everyone else escaped without even so
much as q scratch. The loss to the COM
pany will be three or four thousand dol
lars. The officials who were on the
train at the time of the collision, took
immediate steps to trace the resp6nsibi-
lity Of the accident, and as near as can
be ascertained it lies between the dis
patchers at Nahant and Deadwood. The
passenger was one and one. half hours
late at Custer, and the regular reight
was ordered 10 meet it at Nahant. The
passenger made up part Of the time and
reached and left Nahant before the
freight got there; Conductor Connor
had no orders to wait at Nahant, and
the accident was the result. The south
bound passenger was delayed four or
five hours, and did not reach Custer
until late Wednesday evening.

Expert Testimony.

The line between expert and nom
expert testimony is fine one, says the
New York Tribune. The other day u
physician was on the witness stand in
a Trenton court, when the question,
How many ribs are there in the hui
man body?" was put to him. He re-
fused to answer on the singular ground
that the question was technical one,
and that he was not under any Obliga-
ton to answer it because he had not
received fee for expert testimony.
The Judge. properly we think, COM
mitted him for contempt of court. 1t
is to be presumed that every doctor
knows the correct answer to the ques-
ton. This witness, however, may
have suffered relapse of memory. In
that case there would be no impropri-
ETY. in the judges excusing him on the
ground that to have confessed his igno-
rance would have involved loss OF
professional standing and "A consequent
loss of fees.

Bearded Women.

Bearded women have existed at all
periods of the worlds history. Herpd-
otus has given us an account OF
Pedasnes ''above Halicarnassus, "
among whom the chin of the Priestess
of Minerva regularly budded with a
large beard whenever any great public
calamity impended Her., l., IS. A
woman of Copenhagen, Bartel GARRETT,
had beard reaching to her waist.
Charles MI. of Sweden had female
grenadier in his army who possessed
the beard as we'll as the courage of a
man. Margaret. duchess of Austria
and governor of the Netherlands. had
n large, wiry. stiff beard on which she
greatly prided herself. OF late years,
Albert, duke of Bavaria, reported
having a young lady governess in his
household who was the proud possessol
of very large black beard.

Care Of the Hair.

The hair, like every other portion
of the human frame. if uncared for
will go to waste and eventually drop
out. This is due to splitting of tie
ends of the hair so that the interior
oil duct which nourishes the hair is
exposed, and the natural nourishment
of the hair runs to waste, overhows
upon the head. forming dandruff,
which impedes the growth of the hair
just as much as the tares among
wheat.
The best means to prevent this is a
strengthening of the hair, and this can
easily be ACCOMPLISHED by frequent cut
ting and the use of salt and water and
vaseline. Have you ever noticed what
bushy hair sea-faring men have? Did
you ever see bald sailor? 1t is be-
cause their head is in constant contact
with the invigorating salt air, and is
often wet with salt water. A good ton
ic of salt water should contain tea
spoonful of salt to tumbler of water.
and should be applied to the hair two or
three times a week. The effect at the
end of Il month will be surprising.

Will the Sun Burn Ip,

Thousands of curious and ingenius
theories have been brought forth to ac-
count for the fact that the sun although
he has whirled his burning disc across
the heavens for untold ages, continues
to burn without being consumed or his
bulk being lessened in the least. Some
learned men affect to believe that the
great orb is a monstrOus ball of Gas,
but even great ball of gas would be
consumed to its utmost atom in the
course of few thousand years Others
pretend to believe that its fires are
kept up by the remains of wrecked
worlds which are constantly falling
into its depths, but even this seems
far from probable, not to say purely
absurd conclusion. In giving his opin.
ion on the last opinion, one of the most
eminent astronomers of the day has
figured that a mountain range consist
ing 176 cubic miles falling into the sun
would only be sufficient to maintain
the present heat for a single second a
mass equal to that of our earth would
engender only enough of heat to last
SO years. If these conclusions are cor
rect, and we have no means of proving
them false, well may we ask the ques
ton: OF what wonderful, indeStruct
ible substance is the sun composed?

IT is found by examination. which

all American cattle sent to England
are perfectly healthy, and are really
the best stock that English farmers
can procure. What the English farm
ers want is to import young stock, or
that not fully fattened, and they find
it a profitable business to fatten it for
help to increase the scarcity of cattle
in this country. England is late in

nifty of pestilence. But while most
pestilences have known origin and a

impossible to predict the grips

its coming. The great birthplace Of
