An Exciting Scene.

West Commerce, near the corner OF
Navarro street was the scene of great eX-
citement about $50 o'clock last night,
the cause being a general smash up of a
wagon and cart. 1t seems that Fred Pro-
pold was driving along in an express
wagon going west and he met s. Det-
ridge and John Bauer going in an OPP
pOSite direction. They drove into each
other and general wreck was the result.
Deitridge and Bauer were thrown out
but escaped without being hurt. Propold
was not injured either hut Hulda Pro-
pold and Mary Ganwider, two young
ladies who were with Mr.. PrODOld. were
thrown to the ground and received sew
eral bruises. The happening was a
strange one and the damage might have
been of a serious nature.

A SEVERE FAIL.
A Baby Falls in a BoIe and is Ruin.

Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, at the
corner of Water and East Commerce
streets, the little son of j. L. Gulley:
met with a most severe fall which
will no doubt cripple him for life. His
mother sent Johnnie, six year old son,
and the baby out into the rear yard to
play The neighbours children called on
the little ones and engaged also in the
childish sports. Some difficulty arose be-
tween them, and the visiting child
rem became quite angry and SAID
they would throw the baby into
hole. This frightened Johnnie
who ran to his mother aud related what
was going to be done. Mrs. Gulley re-
paired at once TO the scene. and before
she had reached the place, heard her baby
screaming. He had fallen or had been
thrown into hole about eight feet deep.
which had been dug for "a vault. The
worried mother succeeded in getting the
child out, and, discovering that he was
injured, sent for DR.. Bennett, who soon
arrived. 1t was learned. after an exam
ination, that the awful agony the boy
was in was due TO the fact that his thigh
on the right limb had been broken. The
physician administered his services as
best he could. and placed his leg in plaster
paris. This morning the boy is resting
well. though he suffered great pain during
the night,

Animal Intelligence.

Colonel I. D. Med onald, of Column
ola City, tells the Indianapolis Nems
the following story of animal intelli-
sence He had bought lot of stock,
including q COW and calf. The COW had
been recommended as one of the kind
est of animals Its motherly affection
for its offspring had more than once at
tracted attention. 1t never deserted its
calf, and anybody that tried to separate
them was met with such piteous appeals
from the elder that nobody but hard
ened butcher could carry out design
against the younger. The COW and calf
drove along very indifferently with the
other cattle until a deep stream was
reached. There was no bridge, and the
current was very swift When the cat
tie plunged in, they were swept off their
feet into deep water, and a good many
of them disappeared for q moment.
When the cow came up her first
thought was for her calf. She held
her head up out of the water, and
looked about in all directions. She did
not at first see her calf, because it had
been swept several rods down stream
and was struggling III the water. The
mother at length observed this with
dismay. Instead of making for the op-
posite shore, as all the other animals
had done, she plunged into the stream
and swan down below her calf The
current drove the young animal up
against the protecting bulk of the
mother.
Then the mother started for the shore,
the calf swimming alongside of her in
comparatively calm water. Some pro-
gress was made in this way but about
the middle of the stream the current
striking the calf in the forequarter,
swept it behind the COW, and it foun-
iered down stream. The mother once
more went to the rescue. She had to
swim clear around to the other side of
her calf and, this done, she had to
steady herself in the stream, treading
water to hold her position until the calf
was once more safely against her side,
and the latter then swan safely to
shore.

SEARCH FOR THE DROWNED.
Superstition Common to White Men, In.
dians and Asiatics.

Superstition Common to White Men, In.
| dians and Asiatics.
Superstition everywhere has many
curious modes of recovering the body
of drowned person. The universally
Of this form of superstition is shown by
The fact that in one form or another it
is shared in this country by white man
and Indian alike.
Sir James Alexander, in his account
Of Canada, tells us THE Indians i'm
agine that in the case of q drowned
body its place may be discovered by
floating chip of cedar wood, which
will stop and turn around over the ex-
act spot An instance occurred within
my own knowledge in the case of Mr..
Lavery, of Kingston Mill, whose boat
overset and himself drowned near Cedar
island, nor could the body be discov-
.red until this experiment was resorted
TO-"
! Not many months ago q man was
, drowned at st. Louis. After search
! had been made for the body, but with
| out success, the mans shirt, which he
had laid aside when he went in to bathe,
was spread out on the water and allowed
to float away. For o while it foated
a1d then sank, near which spot, it was
reported, the mans body was found.
A loaf of bread is favorite talisman
in most European countries. Some
times it is found sufficient of itself and
sometimes it needs the aid of some
other substance. Thus in England the
loaf is usually weighted with quick
silver
In Brittany, when the body of a
drowned man can not be found,
lighted taper is fixed in loaf of bread,
which is then abandoned to the re-
treating current. When the loaf stops
there it is supposed the body will be
recovered.
In Java live sheep is thrown into
the water and is supposed to indicate
tine position of the body by sinking
near it. But the objects used for this
purpose vary largely in different coun-
tries. A correspondent of Notes and
Queries tells how q corpse was discov-
cred by wisp of straw around which
was tied strip of parchment inscribed
with certain cabalistic characters writ
ten on it by the parish priest
A curious custom is practiced in
Norway, where those in search of a
drowned body row to and fro with a
cock in the boat, fully expecting that
the bird will crow when the boat
reaches the spot where the corpse lies.
1t was popular theory in days gone
by that the body of drowned man
would float the ninth day, a notion
which, Mr.. Henderson informs us, pre-
walls in the county of Durham. Sir
Thomas Browne alludes to it as believed
in his time, and in his Pseudodoxia
Epidemics " there is discussion on
this fanciful notion. 1t was also be-
lieyed that the spirits of those drowned
at sea were doomed to wander for 100
years owing to the rites of burial having
never been properly bestowed on their
bodies.

have yet to see the wife or sister OF
travelling salesman who referred to
his vocation as that of drummer, or
did not vince when his name was
coupled with the phrase And vet the
word is used in connection with every
business man who travels, whether he
be salesman or not. A drummer is
one who solicits trade or drums
trade. In the minds of most users Of
the word, aside from the employers, it
is consciously or unconsciously the
vehicle of large proportion of con-
tempt for the personal character, serious
distrust of the probity, and genuine
doubt of the truthfulness and socia,
worth of the biped referred to; little
wonder, therefore, that self-respecting
salesmen object to it, The word should
be abolished. AS for the justification
of its use because it is derived from the
word drum, no scholar will endorse
" drum as a correct or refined word to
express the act either of soliciting or
selling merchandise.
