KILLED BY THE DUMMY.
T. A. Keller Has Both Legs
Severed From His Body.

L. A. Keller, bartender for w. g..
Baughman, met with an accid mt yes
terday evening by which both of his legs
were crushed off above the knees by tho
Roanoke and Vinton dummy, causing
his death at 10 o'clocklast night.
The cars were loaded with people
returning from tho picnic. Tho plat
forms were crowded and there was
hardly standing room anywhere. When
just in front Of the Virginia brewery
officer Keller ran out of the door and
attempted to board the rear platform of
tho front car His hands were on tho
railing and he had secured foothold,
but could not get upon the platfoi IN, so
dense was the crowd
Keller swung in that position q few
seconds. His body was hanging out far
over the ends of tho cross ties, and
when IL came into contact with tho
trolley-wire pole, which stands close to
the track few yards west of the brew
cry Office, he was hurled down between
the cars.
Persons in tho rear car thought it
had jumped tho track, SO great was the
bound it made when tho wheels ran
over the unfortunate mans legs
Ills body was whirled over and over
several times while under the car.
which was not stopped till it was fully
200 yards away.
A TIMES reporter happened to be on
the car and saw the accident. a num-
Der of people gathered about and the
unfortunate man WAS carried into tho
brewery oflico.
Both legs were cut off above the
knees. The left was fearfully mangled
and hung only by strip OF skin. Ills
face was bleeding and torn from the
effect of being rolled under the car.
Dr5. Simmons AMI Buckner were Soon
on hand and were not long afterward
joined by two more physicians.
They saw the case was hopeless, and,
alter a consultation, told Keller, who
was conscious, that he could not live.
lie at once realized the fact and asked
for spiritual adviser. DR.. Flippo and
Rev. Mr.. Duffy were sent for and
prayed with the young man. After
this he said he felt resigned and was
ready to die.
Keller told several friends soon after
the accident that he was pushed off by
two men, but this is not believed. It is
& generally thought that the platform
being so full he only imagined that he
was pushed Off. lie does not remember
being struck by tho pole, although sew
cral persons saw it.
The physicians decided not to ampu-
tate his legs, as tho shock would kill
him at onco.
Keller fingered till 10 o'c'ock last
night, when ho died in a stupor. lie
will be sent homo for burial to-day.
Young Keller came to Roanoke from
lidlnburg, Shenandoah county, Va,
where he has d father and mother liv
lng about two years ago. His parents
were autographed yesterday evening OF
the sad accident.

Rodents Teeth.

Certain animals have teeth which
grow during all their lives. The rat
and the squirrel ere examples of this.
Our own teeth are developed from pulps,
which are absorbed and disappear after
the teeth arc grown, but in n rats tooth
the pulp is perpetual, and is continually
secrcting material by which the in
cisor gains length. Therefore the ami
NAL is obliged to gnaw all the time to
keep the tooth ground down to the
proper length. 1t is commonly imag-
ine6 that the rats keep gnawing from
pure cusscdness, but such is not tho
case.

A Cows wild Retreat.

1t Is nothing strange that sometimes
hunted wild animal, running near n
town or village, should enter house,
in its efforts to escapc-though it is apt
to be rather cXciting-especially if the
animal is large. Such an act may be
prompted by the creatures hope of con-
ccalment or protection, but oftencr it is
probably done in the blind craze of ter
ror, like the frenzy of runaway horse.
The San Francisco Chronicle relates
that in Bodiga, Cal, not long since, man
lassoed a wild COW, he being on horse
back, and was trying to drive her before
him, when the animal broke the lariat
and made dash for liberty. Not far off
there was large house, with the front
door wide open. She rushed through
the door, up the front stairs, through n
narrow hallway into bedroom, out of
the window, on to the roof of the
porch, from which she lcaped to the
ground, striking with such violence as
to break her neck

The wounded i'll government service will receive full pay during their convales- cence; the widows and orphans of both officers and privates will be given pen sion equal to the latter's full pay for two years, and an increase of half their pay is offered to sailors who desert the insur- gents at once, while the pay of naval officers will be increased half the present amount.

 mended to the Hospitality of Irish-
 Americans.
 LONDON, March 13.-The following man. ifesto was issued by MT. Parnel this even ing:
 HOUSE OF COMMONS, Friday, March IS. To the Irish people of America:-
 Fellow countrymen.-In 1880 and sub sequent years you assisted me powerfully by your influence upon American public opinion and with your generous financial support, to create the great movement of the land league. Without your aid so freely given and so constantly maintained Ireland could not for one moment have made head against her oppressors, still less could she have attained the singular posi- tion of power and the promise of success which she has occupied during the last five years. At the instant when victory seemed near, and certain the nasty and meddlesome interferences of English politicians in the complex organi- oA by sudden panic among some young law recruits, eagerly seconded by few nal contents, office seekers and envious per sons who crept into our ranks, destroyed the unity of our forces and sapped the independence of many Irish representa- lives. It now becomes my task to restore this unity and reconstruct our movement, looping off all unsound materials, taking effectual precautions against the admis- sion in the future into our army of any weak, treacherous. self seeking elements. Fortune has unveiled this danger and given space for this recon the disclosure has brought about realiza- tion of the insufhciency of Mr. Gladstone's proposed solution of the situation to se- cure the legitimate liberty, happiness, prosperity of your brothers and sisters in Ireland. This disclosure was timely and all important. The delegates who at my request are now crossing the ocean to your shores are well qualified with experience, ability and patriotism to fully explain and defend my position, which all that is sound courageous and reliable at home have assumed with me at this crisis. commend them to your hospitality, and I am con- fdent that you will extend to them the most favorable reception and hearing They are each and all well tried soldiers who have constantly distinguished them selves in our war against coercion and British nisrule, who, despite intimidation and influences of the most interruptions and far-reaching character, have bravely defended me during these dark and try ing moments. With a confidence even greater than in 1880 I appeal to you once more to assist me in quelling this mutiny and disloyalty to Ireland and to help me in securing a really independent parlia- mentary party, so that we may make one more, even though it be our very last, effort to win freedom and prosperity for our nation by constitutional means.
 Your faithful servant,
 CHARLES STEWART PARNELL.

Probability of Another War - What
 an OgalIa Sioux Says.
 CHICAGO, March 13.-Dr. c. A. East man, the educated Ogalla Siaux Indian, ar rived here to-day from Pine Ridge agency, South Dakota. 'T came down here," said he, ''as a sort of messenger to combine business with a tour of investigation at Fort Sheridan. I have been in the camps of the Indians at Pine Ridge and I assure you that from present indications the probability of another Indian war is very promising. There is great deal of whis pering and discontent among the Indians. Personally, I refuse to believe that the In- dians will do anything desperate, but the young braves a., holding secret confer ences, and even conservative members of the camp are talking war. Since Kicking Bear, Short Bull and the twenty-four others were taken to Fort Sheridan not a word as to their treatment has been sent to their families and the chiefs of the Sioux nation. It is generally believed among the Indians that the band of twenty-six is | to be put to death."
 CHICAGO, March 13.-"Buffalo Bill'' has secured the consent of Secretary Noble and will within few days start for Europe with the hostile Sioux now held as prisoners at Fort Sheridan. They are to make up part of Colonel Cody's "Wild | West Show" Secretary Noble has also | given his consent for Colonel Cody to take as many more Indians as he wishes, their
 consent being first obtained, and he pro- poses to make up party of one hundred.
