eATTlE ON a IRAN.
A D.puty Marshal and a Negro shot and
Killed.


A bloody tragedy occurred early Friday
morning on the Santa Fe passenger train near
Gainesville, Texas, in which one deputy mar
shal and negro, passengers on the train,
were killed The tragedy took place In the
half Of the combination smoking car which
IS reserved for negroes. In that compartment
Of the car there were travelling four negroes
and three United States marshals, named
smith, Armstrong and Booker. oue Of the
negroes remarked In an offensive way that
that portion Of the car was reserved for ne
s,roe-, and be would like TO know what right
these white men had in II.
Deputy Marshal Smith replied that white
men could ride where they pleased, and sup
plcmsuted hs remark with an oath, which
Angsred the negroes Smith was riding in
front Of the negroes, and he rose to go back
10 the other compartment OF the car. The ne
gro who had started the quarrel evidently
thought the deputy was about to attack him,
and drawing a revolver, shot him through the
heart
Immediately general battle between the
whites and blacks ensued. In which large
number o. shots were fired both sides.
When the raelec came to an end It was found
that the ne gro who had shot Deputy Smith
had hlmse.f been shot and killed. When the
train arrived at Ardmore all those concerned
In the affair were arrested The train on
which the tragedy took place was the through
Texas express and was crowded with first
class passengers, among whom the battle
caused the greatest excitement.

CHEAPER TELEPHONES.
A New Apparatus which VIII lie some
thing of = Revolution.

The new invention known as the stowager
Automatic Telephone exchange is destined to
produce a revelation In the telephone busi-
ness. Not only will the price OF telephones
be reduced to oue-fourth the present cost, but
the call girls will be done away with alto
gether The whole apparatus Will occupy a
space Of not more than ixtx9 inches AID the
Inyeution is very simple The subscriber,
wishing to communicate with some one at
distance. merely taps out the desired number
on a keyboard and the desired connection is
Immediately made. The invention 1. of es-
pseial interest at present owing to the fact
that the chief Bell patents expire next spring,
when the telephone service viii become a
matter OF competition The gentlemen in
teresied In the stowager system will put their
telephones into use at the rate of s24 year.
A strong objection Is made by the old tele-
pbone company who claim that the service is
impraotlcable in large cities. The objection,
however, has been oyerrulcd by actual prae-
tiee In Montreal where the new device is
operated on a large scale.

windstorm in Kansas.

One person was killed and eighteen wound
ed seven miles down the island from Calves
ton on the 9th during the passage of violent
windstorm across the country from west to
east The devastated track was less than 100
yards in width and mile in length. Some
parties driving across the path of the storm
had their wagons Knocked to pieces and were
themselves blown off their seats. Mr.. Pasch-
atayen's place was one of the last attacked
and mos; seriously damaged. His wife and
eight children were buried beneath the ruins
of the fallen house, and his little three-year-
old daughter was killed. Eighteen persons
were more or less seriously injured, but nc
estimate has been placed on the damage to
property.

Recent Gale. ON the Lakes.

The recent gales on the lakes were proba-
bly the most destructive to lake shipping in
the history OF the Inland marine. The losses
of the last 1--WE days are estimated by under
writers to be about s45o,OOo fully dozen
boats having passed out of existence and not
less than twenty-five seamen having been
lost The nearest approach to the recent gale
in the amount of property losses was the
great storm on Thanksgiving 1889, when the
losses exceeded s4o0,0O0. Other storms have
greatly exceeded this last one in the number
of sailors lost, but the value of property and
the insurance losses for the season have al
ready exceeded any previous year in history
Most of the business, particularly In the large
steel business, was done at exceedingly low
rates and the companies which come out De-
cember Is next when the season closes with
ont q heavy deficit, will be indeed fortunate

Raving Aanisc.
One Of the wealthiest and most aristocratic
families Of Denmark, with noble branches In
aalf the countries Of Europe. has been thrown
into mourning by unhappy news from the
Instant empire Of Persia. Baron Won Wedell-
Wedellsberg, . lieutenant in one Of the crack
regiments Of sweden's neighbor kingdom, re-
,eived leave Of absence last spring to under
lake an extensive Oriental journey. Last
month he crossed the borders Of Persia and
continued his way toward Teheran. At one
Of the stations between Rescht and the Per-
sian capital-considered safe road for tray
elers-Von Wedell and his attendants changed
horses. The young lieutenant being fine
rider, decided to push on rapidly and await
his companion at the next relay. As he ap-
preached an inn near small village the
owner, In the hope of earning an extra large
fee, rushed toward him to aid in attending to
the horse.
Won Wedell, however, misunderstood the
mans intentions, and believing that a robber
was about to attack him drew revolver and
shot the poor innkeeper dead. Too late he
realized his mistake, according to Danish pa
pers. The people OF thesaeighboring village,
incensed at the murder, and unable to under
stand the explanations of the foreigner,
seized him. dragged him from his horse, and
drove him before them to the principal build
ing of the town. There, after beating the
poor fellow, they lashed him, Mazeppa like,
to fierce horse, was sent galloping along
the road TO Teheran followed by the bowling
natives. The baron's attendants finally over
took the strange cavaleade led by the mad
dened horse, but were unable to induce the
Persians to release him. A messenger was
dispatched finally to the Russian consul at
Rescht, who finally gained possession of the
Danish officer. But the unfortunate man
had lost his reason during the terrible ordeal
to which he had been subjected, and is now a
raving maniac in an asylum at Tihis. Inter
national complications may follow the Incl
dent.
