SILK WITHOUT WORMS.
A Syrian Claims to Have Discov-
cred the Insects Secret,
And Proposes to Make silk SO Cheap That
the Poorest May Wear It.

There landed at the barge Office
Thursday turbaned Syrian who says
that he is going TO make silk so cheap
that the poorest persons will be able to
wear silk attire. He appears to be a
man of no mean intellect He would
indicate that, at least, from his con-
versation, but he says there is a greater
than he, his uncle, Moussa. TIE two
have lived in Damascus, having q
habitation in the street that is
called straight" This uncle and
nephew have for some years
anatomically examined the silk
worm, and have discovered, they assert,
that this valuable caterpillar simply
manufactures the fine thread of its CO.
coon out of the mulberry leaf. Elias
Khouri, as he calls himself, and his un-
Gle, Moussa Khouri, have studied the
matter carefully, and are now certain
that they can produce the real article
sill-without the aid of the worm.
There is vast field open for the enter
prising gentleman, and it is his inten-
ton to open the attack on the pampered
silk manufacturers OF Lyons and other
centers of the industry by starting his
non-worm factory somewhere in Geor-
pia,

BEAT AT LAST.

An Arkansas Man Tries to Race n Mule
Against a Locomotive and Makes n Dis
NAL Failure.
NEWPORT, Ark, May S,-Peter Smith,
of Fisher, station on the Cotton Belt
railway, twenty miles south Of here,
has been in the habit of riding fast
horse ahead of passenger train on the
track for about half mile to a cross
ing, where he would turn and laugh at
the trainmen as the train sped by. His
success in defeating the train to the
crossing on his horse encouraged him
to try it with mule. Wednesday he
mounted his mule and as the train started
Peter set out ahead at full gallop.
1t soon became evident that the mule
was not swift enough to reach the
crossing on time. The train continued
to gain on him very fast and when
within half dozen rods of the crossing
the mule stumbled and fell; it rolled
over the rails, but Smith was run over
by the train. His head was cut off,
both legs cut from his body and scat
tered along the road for some distance.

a COOL MESSENGER
Saves His Company's Property
From a Gang Of Robbers
That Boarded The Train. by Hiding tho
Money Packages in the stove.

A train robbery occurred at Wharton,
/. r., late Saturday night. Five masked
men held up Santa Fe passenger
traiu. The robbers got the drop on the
trainmen. The engine was cut loose
from the train and the engineer was
told to run down the track half n mile,
to remain until told to return. The
robbers then ordered everybody out OF
the mail and baggage car and proceed
ed to help themselves. They secured
S4O0 in money from the mail car.
No one was Injured. United
States Marshal Payne was promptly
notified and Immediately organized n
posse. They are all well armed and
with four bloodhounds are in hot pur-
suit. If the desperadoes are run down
there will, undoubtedly, be severe
battle. The skill with which the Wells
Fargo express car of the Santa Fe train
was robbed was only excelled by the
skill with which the express messenger
guarded the property in his care from
the bandits. When the robbers boarded
the train at Wharton the messenger was
looking out of the door of his car, and
seeing what was going on, Immediately
apprehended the danger He closed and
locked his door and then commenced to
hide the money and valuables where
they would escape the detection by the
robbers. While the bandits were de-
taching the engine and express car from
the rest of the train and were rinning
it to the place where the robbery occur
red, two miles distant, the messenger
disposed of most of the valuables in
places of safety. Then he locked the
safe. When the robbers appeared at
the door of the express car he made q
show of resistance, but finally adj
mitted them. They Immediately made
for the safe and demanded that
it be opened With feigned reluctance
the messenger opened it, and at the
command of the leader handed out the
contents, among which was a package
of worthless papers, which he told the
robbers was valuable package of
money. The most of the money had
been hidden in the stove, which was
not being used. In the search which
the robbers made of the car they over
looked that hiding place, but tumbled
upon package of $500, which they Sc
cured Finding nothing else of value
they made their escape.
