 Shaffer, who, it seems, had followed this trade before going west, looked sur prised, but answered that he did.
 Well, you know, it's very easy thing forgotten. Now, will bet you can't tell me what l am going to tick out here on this table.
 The eastern man then took pencil from his pocket and began to tick off a message which, as he finished, caused Shaffer to spring hastily from his seat drawing, as he did so, arevolver from his pocket, which he thrust almost ill the face of a man who had been standing in the door of the saloon, and who had just covered him with his pistol. The two men glared at each other, and then Shaffer said calmly:
 Better put up your weapon Smith unless you want to shoot it out with me here. have got the drop on you as much as you on me.
 Smith hesitated and then replied that he would put up his pistol if Shaf.
 
 fer would and consented to leave the question between them to the arbitra. tion of mutual friends. Shaffer agreed to the arbitration plan, as it seems both men had their reasons for not letting the cause of the bad blood between them be known to tho public. Smith then left, and Shaffer thanked his quick witted friend for the services he had rendered him. The message the east, ern man had rapped out was as follows;
 If your enemy is dark complex. toned man, with hooked nose and q scar on the left cheek, he has just en- tered the saloon and has his hand on his pistol pocket. If you fear treachery from him, move quickly, or he'll have the drop on you. l am unarmed, so that ] cannot draw for you. Draw now, as he has his pistol out, and unless you are as quick as lightning he will have you !"
 Shaffer's keen ear caught the words, and he acted at once on them, as has been shown. His wheeling so suddenly about on Smith took that gentleman SC by surprise that he was compelled to back down. Hastings Neb. Cor. Phil. adelphia Times.

It is probable that he will give up his idea of revolutionizing sucl compounds, if not altogether, for q time at least, because disaster overlook him with one terrific swoop yesterday after, noon.
 Stackhouse believed that he solved the problem he had so long studied over, and yesterday afternoon he started out from his house, 244G North Tentt street, to make test. He strapped the cylinder to his back and carried the sec tion of rubber hose in his left hand. His family stood at the door, and friend, who had aided him in his experiments, walked close beside him. The inventor intended to see how far the chemical would be thrown, and he fearlessly reached up with his right hand to tu11 on the stopcock at the top of the cylin der in order to set tho chemical to work. At that instant there came terrific explosion, which scared the wits nearly out of residents of the whole neighbor. hood.

StaclShouse was thrown violently tt the sidewalk. The top of the cylinder had blown off, and his right hand hung by few shreds from his wrist. He lay unconscious on the sidewalk as his wife ran shrieking out to him, and n crowd quickly collected to see what the explo sion meant The inventor was taken t( the Episcopal hospital, where it was necessary to amputate the shattered hand at the wrist.

AN INTERESTING SLAB.

\
 and the United States.
 Under the direction of the boundary survey commission the old marble mon. ument which since 1S49 has marked the dividing hEe between the United States and Mexico at the coast has been brought to the city to be dressed up For years that monument has been a point of interest and has been visited by thousands of citizens and strangers. Each has apparently felt that no one would believe he or she had been there if some portion of the slab were not car ried away to be offered in evidence on all occasions.
 The result has been that the marble has been ehipped and defaced until its original form is almost lost. It is be- cause of all this that the slab was brought to the city. To work out the effacements the surface would have to be worked down two inches. When re- dressed, the stone will again be placed in position, but this time it will be pro- tected by fence of steel pickets. The inclosure will be 12 feet square. The piekets will be 8 feet high, the tops sharply pointed and leaning inward, after the device of some rattraps, so that while it might be possible for an active person to climb in it would re- quire first class acrobat to climb out over those eurving piokets Besides this new law makes it penal offense to mutilate the monuments.
 At Tia Juana similar slab will be erected on the old brick foundation in National avenue, which has long been landmark there. The Tia Juana mon ument will be of granite instead of marble, and it will be inclosed with steel pickets, like the one at the coast line. San Diego Sun.

AHEAD OF THE cowcATcHER

How the Electric Headlight Is Now Used
Numerous Railroads.
The electric headlight is now used on
many railroads, and w. B. Sparks, who
is interested in southern road, re-
Gently told writer for the Pittsburgh
Dispatch that his company had found
it very profitable investment. The
lights cost about three hundred and
seventy-five dollars each, fixed on the
locomotive, and they cost no more
than the oil light to maintain. The
old headlight would not throw it's
light on very dark night more than
one hundred and fifty feet, and it is
impossible for an engineer to slow
up his train in that distance, even
with the emergency brake. Quite an
item in the expense of the road used
to be claims for cattle killed. During
the rainy season the lands along the
line of the road become very wet-in
places they are entirely covered with
water and the cattle come upon the
track seeking some dry spot on which
to sleep. When the old headlight was
in use as many as thirteen COWS have
been killed at one time and the damage
claims have sometimes amounted to
over one thousand dollars per month
Now the. electric light throws its rays
from half to three-quarters of a mile
in front of the engine. DISTINCTIONS
can be easily seen at that distance and
some of the engineers insist that a
switch disk can be more easily made
out by it at night than in the daytime.
The lights, moreover, do away with
switch lights, which is quite saving
to roads that use them, to any great
extent Mr.. Sparks says that the en-
gines using the electric headlights on
his road have never killed a COW, and
he is confident that the saving in stock
claims alone will more than pay for all
the headlights on the road within two
years.
