His Hand Crushed.

Harry Mitchell, a brakeman in the
employ of the Cotton Belt, met with
a serious and painful accident in the
local yards of that road, at an early
hour yesterday afternoon. II appears
that Mitchell, who Is employed on the
road, was passing the yard shortly
after O'Clock in the afternoon of yes
terday, when one of the switchmen
called to him, requesting that he
catch some moving cars and make
coupling, the regular man being very
busy making up train, at the time.
In complying with this request,
Mitchell got his left hand caught be-
tween the drawheads of the cars,
mashing and mangling that member
in fearful manner. The four fingers
and a portion of the thumb, were lit
orally mashed off, and the ileshy por-
ton of the hand crushed almost to a
pulp.
The injured member was dressed
by DR.. II. i. Grant, the Company's
Surgeon, who will to-day, proceed to
amputate the hand at the first joint.
The wounded man is progressing
fairly wen under the circumstances.

GAINESVILLE (TEx.) ON FIRE

Telegraphic news reached us last
night, of terrible and destructive
conhagration, at Clarksyille, Tex, one
of our most prosperous sister cities,
and which at the hour of 3 O'Clock this
morning, was still raging with unabat-
ed fury. At that hour, several yalu-
able buildings in the main center of
the city, had been consumed, and the
greater part of the entire business
portion Of the city, was threatened
with destruction, by the angry aud
apparently uncomfortable flames.
TO add to the horrors of the occa-
sion, the water supply proved wholly
inadequate to the occasion, and the
small supply of this all necessary de-
fense against the onward march of
the devouring element, was momen.
tarily threatened with exhaustion.
The large cotton platforms and ware
houses were fortunately situated at
sufficient distance from the reach of
the angry flames, as to render them
comparatively safe.
The loss is necessarily great, but il
will be some time before anything
like an acurate estimate can be placed
thereon The greater portion Of the
loss could easily have been avoided by
anything like sufficient water supply,
within reach of the fire. This, how
ever, was not to be had, hence the
fight against spreading flames, was
practically a hand to hand struggle.
