Two 1cCidcnfS - Giant POW4c r
and Bullock Carts.

About two weeks ago. three NgI-
hee natives, wishing to celebrate tho
death Of the old year by a fish din
ner, set sail from this side Of Kaha-
knloa il a canoe well equipped with
giant powder.
The occupants Of the frail bark
were an old father and two sons; tie
aged man sitting in the stern, having
in his charge the dangerous explo-
sive, one son In the bow and the
other in the waist Of the boat.
When in deep water, not far
from the precipitous shore, tie
young man forward called out to
his father to beware Of the powder,
and imagining it about 10 explode
jumped into the sea. His thoughts
must have been verified Immediately
for upon arising To the surface, for
q moment there was nothing to he
seen--canoe, brother and father hal
vanished. Soon afterward his brother
arose to view, somewhat injured, for
the water in his vicinity was dis
colored with blood. Then a frag
ment OF the canoe was noticed, but
no trace of the old man could be
found until several days afterward
when the upper part of his body was
washed ashore The wounded fish
erman fioated ashore upon the piece
of wreck, and though his injuries
were somewhat serious and required
the attentions Of a physician, he will
soon (if he has not already recover.
What ignited the powder is un-
known. Some think That the matches
in tin box together with tobacco
and pipe, caught fire and thus
kindled the fuse; while others i'm
agine that the ignition arose from
combustion.
Yesterday, the 18th inst, two large
four wheeled bullock carts, belonging
to HaleakaIa Ranch, were passing

Senate Discusses Anti-option--House

SENATE.


Met at the usual hour, the Presi-

Most of the morning hour was taken
up in fruitless discussion of House

demned gambling in futures.
In the afternoon following bills
were read third time and passed;
No. SS, (Hamby), to require con-

Making A Start.

We notice that our handsome young
friend, Frank NJ. Ball, representative
from Bowie county in the Texas Leg
islature, has followed the example set
by Miller county's representative,
Will +. Kirby, in the introduction Of
n bill bearing upon the regulation of
railways in the State. Mr.. Kirby's
bill is to exempt all railways, less than
25 miles in length, from taxation,
while Mr.. Balls measure seeks to en-
force the building and maintenance Of
depots at all stations along the several
lines in Texas. Now the fact Is, as
has long since been discovered, that
attempted railway regulation, like the
tariff and other deeply mooted ques-
tions of Legislative reform and public
policy generally, is very much like the
hurling of boomerang, dangerous to
inexperienced hands. We are salts
fed, however, that both bills are meri-
torious from the standpoint OF their
trainers as both men are the possessors
Of unquestioned ability, yet from a
cursory view there appears many OBJ
jections to each of them. For in
stance, the enforcement of a law COM
pelling depots to be maintained at
every railway station, would do away
with hundreds Of flag stations, merely
put in for the convenience of the few
residents and one or two business
men Of small villages, where the local
traffic is too insignificant to attract
the attention of the company, in any

The Cold Spell Past.

If we are to believe the report Of
the "Weather Clerk" in the Bureau
at Washington, the present cold spell
is about over, and the last cold snap,
which, by the way, has been the se-
verest experienced throughout the
Southern States in years, is the wind
ing up Of the winter season. The re-
port sent out from the Department at
Washington yesterday is as follows
"The cold spell is over and there
are no indications ofanother cold wave.
The predictions of the Weather Blu
reau are to the effect that the tempera-
ture will gradually rise, and that
tomorrow will be much warmer than
to-day. Snow is among the probable
tiles tomorrow From indications in
the West 1t is deemed probable that
no more cold weather will be expo-
rienced for a week. OF course another
cold wave may develop, and no accu-
rate forecast can be made covering so
long a period of time, but the condi-
tions are such as to indicate quite a
long continuance Of mild weather

STRONGER THAN FICTION.

A prominent hotel man of Texar-
kama, named Timothy Huckins, came
to this city Monday, and the time
hanging heavily on his hands, he wan
dered around town and into one of the
variety theatres. There he danced
with several of the girls, one more
than the other, he being attracted by
her looks, for they conjured up visions
of his early love and first helpmate.
Finally he asked her to go with him
to wine room, for he wanted to talk
to her. She consented, and after some
conversation. he said; "You remind me
very strongly of my first wife. What
is your name?"
"Enma Ray, though my name be-
fore | was married was Huckins."
Startled, the man eagerly asked:
"Do you know or ever remember to
have heard the name of Timothy
Huckins~
"Yes," said the girl, "that was the
name of my father, though | do no re-
member much about him, for have
not seen him since was five years of
age, and that was about sixteen years
ago.
Then explanations quickly followed.
The first wife was Massachusetts, la
dy, and when she died the little girl,
Emma, was left in charge of relatives
or friends in Boston, and the father
went away. Afterwards he married
agaiu and settled down In Texas, To-
eating finally at Texarkana, where he
is a prosperous hotel man.
The girl married man named Ray
and came to this city recently, and
they were working III the variety
when this chance meeting opened up
brighter prospects for her
Mr.. Huckins wants his daughter, as
he said, to come off the stage and be
lady. He is well able to care for her,
and If the husband has the right stuff
in him. he also will share in the good
fortune that has befallen the girl after
sixteen years deprivation of paternal
care and love.--Ft Worth Gazette.
The above vile and deliberate slam
der has been perpretrated by the Fort
Worth Gazette against the good name
of a man who for years has been one
of Texarkana's best and most respect
ed citizens, and whose son, Jos. lIuck-
ins, Jr., is an Alderman of the East
side and proprietor Of the well known
hotel Of that name founded by his
father in this city years ago. The
father whose name is Joseph Huck-
ins, is now principal owner and man
ager Of the Hotel Vendome, in Knox
vile, Tenn, one Of the. most popular
hostelries In the South. II is evident
that some vile trickster has imperson-
ated Mr.. Iuckins, as that gentleman
has not been absent from his home In
Knoxville, Tenn, for months. Aside
from this the family has but one fe-
male member among the children,
Miss Cora, beautiful and accom-
plished girl, who, since young girl
hood, has been one of the most popu-
ular social favorites in this city, and
who, since leaving this city for the
future home Of her parents In Tennes-
see, less than year ago, has contin-
ued at that place. The entire affair
is most deplorable one, and IL Is on
ly in justice to most estimable fam
lily that we make any mention Of 1t
whatever. Mr.. Huckins, Jr., informs
us that he will at once take steps to
lay bare the dlspicable attempt to
tarnish his own and his family's good
name. We sincerely trust that he
may be successful in detecting the

WIND WINDS a CLOCK.
An Ingenious Continuance OF an Inventor
An TReIClssrn

An Ingenious Continuance OF an Inventor
IN Belgium.
The Garre de Nord, Brussels, has been
fitted with mechanical wonder in the
shape of clock, which, although con-
stantly exposed to all kinds of weather,
never gets out Of repair, nor does 1t need
to be wound by the hand of man. It is
Rperpetual timekeeper Of the most unique
and original design, the running weight
being kept in constant motion either
through the influence Of gravitation, as
when on the descending trip, or by the
winds action on fan attachment which
causes the weight to rise TO level with
the top Of the framework. The winding
attachment is not windmill Of the reg
ulation type, but is o fan placed in a
common chimney, the paddles being act
ed upon by the natural cup cast" or
"draft."
As soon as this fan has raised the
running weight to its extreme height,
the cord to which the weight is attached
acts on wheel which throws brake
into gear, and the more rounds Of cord
that are added, SO much more strongly

from rising any higher, the checking
tendency being transmitted TO the fan
wheel with every revolution.
A simple pawl arrangement prevents
the down draft from exerting any con-
trary influence ON the fan wheel. There
is not, as one might suppose on first
thought, any necessity Of having fire
In the stove or fireplace of the chimney
to which this odd clock Is attached.
The natural tendency of air is to ascend
through such vents, the draft thus Gre
ated being always sufficient for weight
winding purposes. The clock might be
placed at the top Of hollow tree with a
bottom opening, or any other cylinder
from fifteen to twenty-five feet In height.
With its present attachments this
clock runs but twenty-four hours after
the winding fan stops, but by the addi-
ton Of another wheel or two, might be
made to rum month or two even though
the up draft were not sufficiently strong
to turn the winding wheel in the mean
time. The inventor is native of Bel
gium.-St. Louis Republic.
