The Pole struck Him.

What barely missed being fatal
accident occurred near the corner of
Matagorda and South streets on
South Heights car, late yesterday
evening. The trolley pole on the car
got tangled in the wires somehow and
was pulled off the car. The heavy
pole fell. and in so doing struck con-
ductor Edmonds on the head, knock
ing him backward over the dashboard
and Off the car and rendered him
insensible, in which condition he
remained for some time. He will be
compelled to lay off q day or so in
order to steady his shattered nerves.
How he escaped being killed Is q
miracle, as the blow was itself suf-
ficienJ to kill him and in falling he
struck his head against the rail. Be-
side this, he Is an invalid down here

The Interior Department is q vast
collection of business offices wherein
the laws of the G government with re-
gard to it, Territories, the Public
Lands, the Indian Service, Pensions,
Patents and many other smaller con-
Germs are put into execution. The
census Is taken under the direction
of the Secretary of the Interior. so
that his duties since the Harrison
Administration came into Office have
been even more varied and laborous
than usual. Signal success has
marked their performance. The
eleventh censua, dealing with q much
greater number of public affairs than
have heretofore been investigated by
any census, has been taken three
months earlier than any other. The
work of enumeration began on June
/, and its result as to population was
announced on October 80. The result
of the next preceding census was not
announced until January. In other
words, although there was an increase
OF more than 2,00O, 900 of people to be
counted, making the work 25 per cent
greater than before, the result was
made out three months earlier. What
this means In the handling OF the
enumerators is not easily appreciat-
ed. The publications of the eleventh
census have been five times greater
already than those of the tenth cen.
sus, but there Ia no doubt that in the
collection and arrangement of the
finally completed statistics as much
as two years will be gained over any
preceding record. The new depart
menta covered by the eleventh cepsus
are In ,se of school and church sta It's
tics, Indian statistics, mines and
mining and the general eubje ct of
mortgage Indebtedness. These are
matters of the highest value to the
public, without which the real con-
dition OF the country would be but
partially exhibited.
1t is an interesting fact that while
our population has been increasing
from $4,000, 900, to 1000, 900, that of
the United Kingdom has grown from
IS, 000, 900 to onl y 80, O00, 0OO. The force
of this fact is most impressive in the
story it tells of American develop
ment

ANOTHER INCENDIARY FIRE.
Thought TO Have Been Done Through
Spite or Meanness

Thought TO Have Been Done Through
Spite or Meanness.
Yesterday afternoon at about 4
o'clock an alarm from box 153, corner
OF Burleson and Olive streets, called
the fire department to q fire situated
in house owned by Mr.. A. Hartman,
q machinist, in the employ of the
Sunset company. Before engine No.
2 had reached the place the fire was
beyond control, as the nearest water
plug was three blocks away, and the
sunset hose attached to this but
could not reach tie fire, rs they did
not have hose enough.
The house is the last on the right
side of Burleson street near the corner
of Palmetto and Burleson streets, and
the fire originated from the eastern
side of the house, on which side there
are no houses, and appeared to have
been incendiary.
The report that the house was
robbed and then fred Is denied by
Messrs. Henry and Jack Owens, two
painters who broke in and saved a
trunk and other articles. These
young men worked very hard and at
one time Henry was almost suffocated
by the dense smoke.
The general opinion is that the
house was fired for meaness, spite. or
by q crank. II does not look like the
work OF the renowned Jack, the
Firebug," who has been operating
here.
The house was valued at $500. aud
it's contents at $3.50; the insurance on |
the former was $500; the furniture
was uninsured

Careoof House Plants.

Do not let plants that have bios.
somed through the winter, and which
you intend to use another season in
the house, go on blossoming, writes
Eben E. Rexford in the Nav Ladies'
Home Journal. See that they get at
their summers work as soon as
possible. That work is to rest. En-
courage them to do nothing but recu-
perate. No not give rich soil or large
amounts of water, for these encour-
age vigorous growth. Your want the
plants to remain as nearly dormant
as lie consistent with health. Cut
back well. Prune into something
like symmetrical form, and keep
watch of them as growth is made.
Pinch back whenever it is necessary
to do so to secure good form.

WIN soldiers Do Not Touch Elbows.

For year military men have been
specializing on why in the new drill
regulations the soldiers do not stand
elbow to elbow, as they always have in
accordance with the tactics previously
in use. 1 met Colonel Camp, of the
Twenty-second regiment, and in the
course Of conversation on the subject
he said:
My idea of the object of the intervals
which have been adopted in the new
regulations is to make each man feel his
individuality more. Under this new sys-
tenn each soldier has to depend entirely
on himself. In the old tactics he was
squeezed up by his comrades on each
side. If there was anything the matter
with him, if he didn't know what to do,
OF if his courage failed, his comrades
would almost carry him along and quite
likely get him through all right. A line
of soldiers might have been really very.
weak and still appear strong. 1t was de-
reptive. Now command shows for
Itself. The rather prevalent idea that
the interval was adopted so as to give
bullets a chance to pass between the men
is of course nonsensical when you think
of the subject seriously. The interval is
only few inches wide, and bullet
would have to do good deal Of scurry-
ing around to get through without hit
ting somebody.-New York Herald

The ..Keers" frightened Him.

Fred T. Merrill, bicycle dealer of the
Pacific coast, arrived here from Port
land, Or, and was seen at the Great
Northern. He came with his wife by
the Union Pacific and relates singular
incident which occurred on the way.
AS the train was entering the station at
Welser, Ida, an old man, white haired,
was seen running wildly away from the
platform. Some thought he was crazy,
but when brought back by friends it
was found that he was perfectly sane,
but frightened at the appearance of the
train, as this was the first time he had
ever seen locomotive. He was seventy
seven years old and had lived for the
last thirteen years in Ruthburg, Ida, a
mining camp forty-eight miles from a
railroad. During all those years he had
never left the camp, but had continu-
ously remained on his claim, thinking it
was valuable and he would eventually
s.strike it rich" Becoming too old and
feeble to work, he had yielded to the
solicitations of relatives in Pittsburg
and Allegheny City and was on his way
to Pennsylvania.
His name is Martin McCandless. In
1851 he emigrated from an interior town
in Missouri, journeyed in a caravan Of
twenty -one OK teams across the plains
through Utah and into the mining dis
tricts of California, thence into Nevada
a few years later, and eventually to his
recent home in Idaho. He proved to be
man of more than ordinary intelligence
and gave Mr.. Merrill many reminis-
cences of early life in the mines, having
been acquainted with many pioneers
who are now millionaires on the Pacific
coast.
The old man was finally persuaded to
take a seat on the train and passed
through here bound for the Keystone
State. He would seldom leave the car
for fear he could not get on again. His
EXPLANATIONS of delight and his astonish-
ment at the speed of the train served as
continual sources of amusement to the
other passengers. His elder brother,
Abraham McCandless, is merchant in
Butler, Pa, where another brother, Alex
ander A., also lives.
The old miner said he had $4,000 in
side the lining of his vest, which he had
received for one-third interest in his
mine, but he was not going to tell any
one about it for fear he might be robbed.
