Honey In a Petrlfled Tree.

While digging a well ON the place OF
Reginald G. Dunham, at Live Oak,
Fla, the diggers' pickaxes struck
against something 80 hard that it was
impossible to bring any chips from it.
The object not being more than ten
feet below the surface of the earth it
was disinterred, when it was found to
be part of petrified tree, and the
petrification being only on the outside
an inch or two the trunk was soon split
open. 1t was found that il was filed
with soft, sticky mass adherent to the
sides of the tree. On tasting this it was
found to be very sweet, of the luscious
ness of honey, and at last itwas decided
that il was honey which had been shut
up in that buried tree, it was impossi-
BILE to say how many years.
This was further confirmed by the
discovery in the mass of objects,
which, being examined, proved to be
bees. 1t was curious study to eto-
mologists to observe that the insects
were identically the same as of to-day
and the honey cells of the same struc-
ture. Mr.. and Mrs. Dunham that
night enjoyed a feast such AZ few sit
down to, but goodly portion of it was
left to send TO the Smithsonian Insti.
tuition, while quantity of the honey,
perhaps of antedeluvian manufacture,
was left in the tree where it had re.
posed so long, but after some hours of
exposure TO the air, which happened
to be damp, it lost its tenacious quality
and became slightly moro liquid, or
about the consistency of tar or turpen-
tine. Philadelphia Times.

THE RAILROADS.

The destruction of the A. & p. bridge
over the Rio Puerco by fire yesterday
delayed traffic over that line.
There ia no doubt about the Union Pa-
cifc railroad building into Ration at an
early day. 1t is now within eighteen
miles of there, says the Range.
A. G. Thompson, general passenger
agent of the Texas system of the Santa
Fe, has been transferred to similar
position on the Atlantic & Pacific.
The White Rock canon bridge ON the
Santa Fe Southern road was burned last
nigh5. 1t is being rebuilt to-day, and
until finished trains will transfer across
the break.
Gen. Supt. Miller, Chief Engineer Har-
ris and Chas. B. Eddy went to Pecoa on
a special train the other day to arrange
for yard room for the cars of material
that will be coming soon for the Pecos
Valley railroad extension.-Eddy Argus.
Only two baggage cars are now en-
ployed on the A., T. & s. F. in and out Of
FL Paso, the other cars being required
elsewhere. The road has in use every
makeshift of car it owns and business
IN both the freight and passenger depart
ments is so heavy as to cause difficulty in
handling it.

SHOT HIS FRIEND.
John E. Eberle Did it by Accident
and Blows Out His Own
Brains.

John E. Eberle committed suicide at
Silver City day before yesterday. Eberle
shot man at Silver Greek a few days
ago and ut the time it was incor-
rectly reported that the man was Sam
Settle, but the wounded mans name is
Phoenix. Eberle was brought to Silver
City Tuesday evening and wanted one OF
the guards to get physician to go out to
the Mogollons to attend Phoenix, saying
that he would give $500 for doctor to
20 out there. Eberle said that il was an
accident that the pistol went off and
shot Phoenix. Wednesday morning tho
guard who was with Eberle oil night at
Broadway hotel, watching him, left Ebsrle
III bed and went out to see about getting
breakfast. The guard left double bar
rel shot gun in the room with him. He
had been gone but d very shoTt time
when a terrific explosion was heard.
Eberle had placed the muzzle of the gun
in his mouth and fired. The whole top
of his head was blown OIL and his brains
were scattered around the room.
Eberle was one of the Oldest residents
of the Mogollon mining region and was
the owner of some very valuable prop
erty there. He sold the famous Con
fidence group of mines there about foli
years ago, and only few weeks since re-
ceived the final payment. He had prop
erty also at Los Angeles, Cal, and his
body will probably be sent there fur
burial.
Phoenix, the man whom Eberle shot. ia
in precarious condition, but it is possi-
BILE that he may recover.
