PRICES ADMINISTRATION the report
upon the number and value of farm animals
just issued from the Department OF Agricul.
ture the following is taken:
1.-The price of horses has increased, owing
to an increased demand snd improvement
10 breeding. Mules have also advanced 10
price. TIE rapid growth of small towns in
mining districts may have influenced this
somewhat. Tneir number has not increased,
owing to the tendency In certain parts of
Virginia to divide up the large farms into
smaller ones. and horses are preferred on
the latter. The number Of mich COWS has
increased somewhat, with prices better than
last year. Sheep about hold their own as to
aumbers. Better prices and increased de-
qaand fer them hsva Caused TIE farmers to
sail off closer than heretofore. Hogs have
suffered good 6esl f,ous cholera. In price
they range about es last year."

Whispering of high hopes and noble desires.

HER Foot OR HER L1FE.-With her fec

HER FooT OR HER LIFE-With her foot
wedged between the guard rails at the Short
Line yards, Miss Katie Wills. a young wom-
an of the East Fad, was run down by q
train of freight Cars yesterday afternoon.
Her foot YVES ground of, but by the rarest
presence Of mIrd wss she saved from death.
Miss Wills was out walking with a girl
friend. While waking through the net
work of tracks In the yards Miss Wills step
ped upon one OF the raiis. Her foot slipped,
ard in some way was caught between the
track end guard rail. As the same time
ber friend noticed q train OF freight cars
backing toward them, ard only short dis
lance eff. Seeing the impending danger
she ran TO the assistance OF the captive, and
together they used all their strength in try
ing to extricate her foot. But it was caught
as in wise. On account OF slight curve
in the track at that point the engineer did
not see the young woman until it WAS too
late. 10 last effort to save her life, Miss
Wills threw her ncdy from the track, but
her left foot was still held firmly, and
through her agony of mind che saw the
wheels roll over her leg midway between
the knee and ankle, ssyeTing the member
completely. The shoe which had been cut
off with the foot could hardly be drawn
from the track, 90 tightly had 1t beer
wedged In. Miss Wills ia eighteen years of
age spd is an unusually pretty girl. The
terrible straiu CT the few seconds che was
held between the rails and the physical
pain suffered, threw her into such q condi-
ton that it is feared her death will result.

AN OLD CHURCH TO Gothic olde5,
church 10 Louisiana and the Mississippi val
ley will drop into the Mississippi river dur
ing the present high water, probably With

Franois,in Ponte Coupee parish. The church
was erected in 1877. 1t stood originally o
iong distance back from the river, and there
seemed 10 possibility that the Mississippi
would ever reach 1t. At that time 1t was
the only chnrch In that section OF the coun-
try, and the only one between New Orleans
and the Atlantic settlements. Its congrt'
cation has grown steadily smaller by death
removals, and disasters, until finally it could
no longer support q pastor, and 1t was
closed cave at rare intervals when priest
visited 1t to celebrate mass for the few Gath
oics who still remain 10 the vicinity
Around 1t is a graveyard. In which for +
century and a quarter the dead Of Pom G
Coupee and the neiehborhood, numbering
thousands, have been buried. and which
once contained some handsome monum ents
The river as destroyed tbis graveyard
piecemeal, and there is nothing left bu!
crumb,ing bricks and rubbish for the bo1es
of the dead have been carried away by the
currents. Last gear the Mississippi came
within q Few feet of the church, when en- ef.
fort was made to raise mopey to remove the
building, but this wss found impossible
This year epolher Gazing in Of the bank Is
imminent. When t comes. the Church Of

the famous "O.d South" church OF Boston
will be carried away by the elements.
