BLOWN TO PIECES.
Terrific Explosion of a Texas
 and Pacific Engine.
THREE TRAINMEN KILLED.
Their Mansied Bodies Picked Up Hum dreds of Yaras From the seene- Parts Of tue Incomotive Scattered In All
 Direetious-A Complete Wreck.

EAsTLAND, Tex, Dec. 5.-As result of the explosion of an engine on the Texas and Pacific near here Mon. day, three souls were sent into eternity and several thousand dollars worth of property destroyed
 The killed are Charles Elliott of Fort Worth. engineer, who was found about 200 feet north of the shattered remains of his engine; Charles Beavers. fireman. of whom nothing could be learned, was found 130 yards south of his engine; Frank Spence, head brakeman, got on the engine at Ranger and was on it at the time of the explosion. He was found l60 yards south of the engine. His body was almost severed, being completely disem boweled.
 j. J. Roberts, rear brakeman; Bar rett Penney, who had a carload of jacks in charge. and Conductor Depoy- ster were at the rear of the train and escaped injury, Roberts being only ss- verely shaken up. Penney had just returned from feeding his stock and had not been in the caboose more than a minute.
 Part of the sand box was found 167 yards in front of the wreck. The main portion of the boiler was blown 250 feet north of the track, one driving wheel was found 400 feet away and portion of the air pump, which weighs over 200 pounds, was found TOO feet north, tear ing down trees in it's path.
 The track was torn up for six rails length. The train consisted of B carr four of which and the caboose were left standing owing to the fact that they were not making more than 15 miles an hour. The cars were all heavily loaded.
 Conductor Depoyster says that he looked out of the caboose cupola and saw the steam escaping unusually fast. but thought nothing of it until he looked the second time. Becoming alarmed he braced himself and then came the report.
 It was only after difficult searching that the bodies of Beavers and Spence were found. The grass and leaves caught fire and on account of the scar city of water it was hard to keep the body of Elliott from being cremated. Conductor Depoyster says that the en- zine had been working all right through the day. When the body of Spence was found it was entirely nude.
 Transfers of passengers and mail consumed some time after which train backed to its destination. The wreck ing train was sent out at late hour, but the wreck is expected to be cleared away at once. A singular coincidence was that all three of the dead men were similarly hurt in the head, each one having his skull fractured in front. They were all very badly scalded and the skin was peeled off those who wers blown so far

 DIES MONIES. Dec 6.-The one man who IS in the confidence of the Des Molnes men connected with the new corporation, the Lake Suaerior. South western and Gulf Railroad company, gives some additional particulars re- garding the proposed new system which grows out of the agitation in the west in recent years for an outlet for a for elgn grain market which will relieve it from paying tribu' to eastern trunk lines. The new system will be com posed as follows: Beginning at Duluth. the St. Paul and Duluth, the new Bis marck line, the Iowa Central. from Lyle, Minn., to Albia, la. and the Aibia and Morovia from Centerville. la, line is to be built 50 miles south to connect ihe Martin system in Mis- souri, which will give connection at Aurora, Mo, with the St. Louis and San Francisco, thence to Little Rock a line 22s miles long will be built, thus securing connections to Galveston, Sabine Pass and New Orleans The explanation given for the unusual reti- cence regarding the new system is that several surveys had been run through the territory between Aurora and Lit tie Rock, and it was deemed best to proceed quietly in tie matter of pro- curing right of way

Lady Who Remembered the Man That Saved Her Life.
 CINCINNATI, Dec. 6. Some three years ago Russell Hill of New Orleans, but we'll known in Kentucky, was in Phila- delphia and while walking along Mar ket street of that city, saw an old lady reel as if about to ia l at Ninth street. MT Hill ran forward and caught the strange lady and took her to store. where she was placed in a carriage and subsequently taken to her home. From her plain dress and unaffected way Mr. Hill supposed the lady was in moder- ate circumstances. He heard from the lady several times, and she persuaded him to let her adopt his motherless lit- tie daughter, Maude, who is niece of the late General John H. Morgan of Lexington, Ky.
 Imagine the surprise of MT. Hill, while in Philadelphia last week, to learn that the lady had left his little daughter S20.000. The good hearted lady who never forgot her protector was Mrs. C. M. Shallcross. MT. Hill is nephew of the late A. P, Hill, who was well known officer in the Con- federacy. Russell Hill is quite well known in Kentucky, where he has rela- tives who will be pleased to learn of the good fortune of bis little daughter.

 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Dec. 6.-Felix Drew, halfbreed. claiming to be all Indian chief and the head of power fnl tribe in the Indian Territory, has just bunkoed the negroes of Birming- ham out of several thousand dollars and skipped. He appeared here about a week ago. His first move was to make himself solid with the negro preachers. and they announced that he would lecture at certain churches on the subject of colonizing the negroes. In his lectures he said his Indian tribe had held a big powwow and as the re- suit sent him to Alabama to induce the downtrodden and oppressed blacks to go to the Territory and become part of his tribe. He said the lands were the richest in the world and gold could be had in plenty He was going to run an excursion train from Birmingham to the Territory. and the only cost would be S5 railroad fare, which he said would have to be paid in advance. He promised to meet the emigrants at the depot on a certain night Manyne- groes sold their furniture to get money to give to him. After collecting several thousand dollars this modern Moses folded his tent and quietly stole away. The authorities are looking for him, and if the negroes who were bunkoed could lay hands on him it would not be healthy for him.

POINTS ABOUT POULTRY.

Wheat bran, moistened with milk, is an ex'
cellent food for fowls of any sort.
Don't try to stimulate egg production with
irritating condiments. They do more harm
than good Plenty Of plain, wholesome food
is what is needed.
Young ducks should be carefully confined,
until the adult feathers appear Ranging
in wet grass, or exposure to showers, while
covered with down is almost certain to cut
short the crop.
Those who raise eggs for market should
keep but one breed; or If more than one
assorted as to size and color. All white
eggs or all tinted eggs sell better than
Streaked lots. ''Looks so a long ways"
Gravel has been denominated "hen's teeth.
Gravel is always found in the gizZard of q
fowl, where it performs the operation OF
thoroughly grinding and masticatlng the
food prior to it's entering the bowels Fowls
must have gravel, or all the grain they eat
will not be properly digested, which is sure
to result disastrously sooner or later Give
your fowls a plentiful supply.
MANY people make a mistake at the start
by making a wrong selection of breeds. They
want eggs and select a breed on account
of supposed beauty of form or feather; or
they want beauty only, and select a breed
that spends its vitality in eggs until there
is not enough left to polish single hackie
feather Consider carefully what you want
get all the information YOU can and then
make a selection accordingly.
AS long as the puliet is growing she may
he fed highly, but the comb must he noticed
in order to be watchful of the first sign OF
fine scarlet color which indicates that she is
about to begin laying At that period she IS
apt to get too fat if fed much on grain, and
if very fat will not lay. After she com,
mences to lay. however, she may DE Iea al
she desires The critical period is tnat pc
tween the maturity of the puet and the be
ginning of egg production.
