How 1t Happened.

There are two young folks in this
town who have seemed on the point
of marrying several times, but whose
plans have always heretofore been
upset by some untoward cireum-
stance, and who, therefore, remain
single. Now don't declare you
know who they are-for you do not
but jast hold still a minute and
we'll tell you all about it. The
reason they have not been married
and happy long ago could be easily
given, but we do not want to in
dulge in bygones. 1t is with the
future we have to do. The young
lady tells it as follows: "You see,
we had INDUCED in our regular
weekly quarrel and l had returned
his ring and he had gone off in a
huff. Next day he wrote to call,
and said he had an explanation to
make l said certainly, aud he
came and he looked so handsome in
the elegant new clothes he was
wearing that l fell in his arms, and
now we are going to be married
right away, and l never did wait to
hear his explanation. AMI it was
all those lovely clothes which he
bought from j, hansel wood, and
Pm awful happy"

A TERRIBLE WRECK.
Rear End Collision on the
Texas Central.
Engineer and Fireman Lose Their Lives.
Hurled from Trtstle.

A terrible wreck occurred on the
Texas Central last night near
Aquilla, in which two men lost
their lives.
Freight train No. 4 ,east.bound,
due at Aquilla at 7:l5, was nearly
three hours late. 1t consisted mostly
of empty cattle cars.
About mile west of Aquilla is a
tank at the east end of a long Tres
tie. A number of the cars of the
train which were running a. rapid
rate became separated from the en-.
CINE and several cars near the front
before reaching the tank, but this
fact was not known, as the engineer
and fireman were looking ahead.
As the train neared the trestle it
slowed up to stop at the tank. The
grade being down hill gave the wild
cars, which were running with in.
creasing momentum, time to over.
take the remainder of the train, and
before their approach was known
they had struck the forward section
of the train with great force, knock.
ing it from the tressle to the
ground, ten feet below.
Engineer John Elliott and Brake
man Arthur Woodall were killed out
right. Elliott was caught in the mid.
die Of his body between the boiler
head and the tank, with the first
jam, and when the engine fell off
the trestle he was thrown twenty
feet from the track.
Wrecking trains left for the
scene of the disaster last night and
have been at work clearing the
debris all day.
Elliott, the dead engineer, leaves
wife and four children, who reside
at Dablin, to which place his re.
mains have been shipped.
Woodall's remains were shipped
to Hico. He was also a man of

a serious nature. Several received
slight bruises.
The two men who we're killed
were not we'll known in Waco, as
their run did not extend further
east than Ross.
The railroad company suffered
damages from injuries to several
cars and the locomotive, which was
one of the Texas Central's large
compound engines.
General Manager Hamilton, who
is absent in Rockport, has been
notified about the occurrence. The
other officials at the general Off
of the company are averse to giving
any information for publication,

THE BIG PICNIC.
Walnut Springs Tenth Cele-

bration a Great Success.
To THE News: The tenth annual
picnic of Walnut Springs came off
yesterday, MAY 24th.) This was
only q perpetuation of q time.
honored custom, antedating the
time when this country was but
sparsely settled by the hardy
pioneers, who felt themselves de-
barred from their former social en-.
joyment in their former homes east
of the Mississippi. So, to revive
their wonted custom, they would
congregate at this noted spring in
their annual convocation, and with
their friends and families revive
former customs. The buffalns,
sntelopes and other denizens. with
the savage Indian, would visit the
same spot to Stake their thirst from
it's crystal fount, whilst the warriors
would relate their feats of soalping
the pale faces, with the equaws
fondling with their papooses, and
listening eagerly to deeds of valor
from their liege lords. On this last
occasion the excursion trains arrived
loaded to the guards with an ex
pectant cargo, whilst wagons,
buggies and all wheel vehicles were
pressed into service 10 lend to its
success.
The crowd has been estimated at
1000 or 5000. The day was all
that could have been desired
Friends We'd with each other to see
who could enjoy themselves the most,
and by the warm greetings extended
it was manifest that it was Mutual.
We noticed among the excursionists
from Waco our old frield, w. H
Davis, who is now citizen of your
city, and by the way, we learn be is
an aspirant to office in your county.
His old friends recommend him as
a cultivated Christian gentleman of
whom any community might we'll
feel proud. Any position awarded
him will be filled with credit TO
himself and to the satisfaction of
his supporters.
The cornet band of Cisco was Sc.
cured for the occasion, and dis
coursed sweet music to the satisfac-
ton of all. Cyclone Davis, the
Populist speaker, was present and
made his characteristic speech, and
was replied to by Hon. w. Poin-
dexter. While there may be divers
opinions as to the speakers-some
say veritable coclone struck the
town yet we are happy to state it
was not 80 disastrous as the Cisco
cyclone, the unterrified Democracy
standing firmly entrenched in their
stronghold Mr.. Poindexter made
a fine effort, and whilst not cheered
as voluminously as the other, was
surrounded by host Of Democrats
as true as steel.
AT O'Clock p. m the huge trait g
pulled out with their dense crowds,
amid the cheers of a vast concourse
of friends.
We have but one casualty to re-
Port, viz, son of Mr.. John Standi-
fer, who had the misfortune to be
hurt by the falling of one of the
swings on the ground. We are
happy to state. from his physioian.
that he is not seriously hurt, and
will return home to Meridian today,
accompanied by his father.
Thus ends another grand success
for Walnut Springs annual picnic,
and it is to be hoped that all will
carry with them pleasant recollec
tons Of the day, and visit US on
many similar occasions.

Editor EXPosIToR,
! would like small space in your
columns that the people may know
what sort of neighbors we have in this
vicinity. On the night of the 2sth of
September Lew had his harness strip
ped of spread straps and rings, worth
5000. a night or two after that, some
one else or same party dug lot of
potatoes from our potato patch, with
their hands, and / found some of
them on bee-line in northwesterly
direction from the patch, and / am
sure | know the man who took them.
If he will come to me the next time /
will let him have hoe and pick the
potatoes up for him. After the rings
were stolen dreamed two nights that
some one had bored holes in the gran
ary and taken away wheat and sure
enough when we went to the granary
after oats we found hole made with
a 2-inch auger in the side. They got
none there so went under. / called
two of my neighbors in to let them see
for themselves. They think about
eight bushels were taken out. Now
then / am awfully hard up, but /
never turned anyone away hungry yet
and if they will come to me and say
they are hungry / will divide with
them. B. ROBINSON.
