insane son. The boy attacked her with a
pair of tailors' shears, and drove one of
the points through the skull, penetrating

saulted, is in critical condition from a
wound and the nervous shock.

Nervous Shock.

Now, we often hear Of obscure nerV-
Gus arrangements with no clear cause
following railway accidents, and of
strange nervous symptoms complicating
such obvious physical injuries as may
occur. and many questions are apt to be
raised as to the possibility of such phe.
nomena being due to any known degree
of concussion or injury of the nervous
centers, and not infrequently much doubt
is thrown on the bona fides of plaintiffs
In such cases. While, however, quite
admitting the frequency with which
fraud is at the bottom of claims against
railway companies, it does not do to
forget that something else besides mere
physical injury may result from rail-
way accident. If terror, a sudden and
intense horror, or, as some would say,
a "mere nervous shock" without any
physical injury at all, will produce
long lasting changes in the mental and
nervous mechanism, 1t would be strange
indeed if such changes were not found
in patients who, whatever the nature or
extent Of their other injuries, have gone
through the terrible shock Of a serious
railway accident. From the moment of
the first dancing on the rails, through
the terrible time when passengers and
portmanteaus are being tossed helplessly
about, up to the moment when, with
final crunch. all becomes still, may not
be long time; but, short as it is, it is
a spell Of the intensest agony and terror
which can be conceived, and it would
indeed be passing strange If it did not
write deeply on many nervous systems

NO DEEP WATER.

II all that has been written
and printed on the subject OF
deep water on the Texas coast
was collected and republished,
1t would make several large
volumes. Especially have news
papers and their correspond
ents gone wild over the pros
poets for deep water at Arkansas
Pass. Time and again, has it
been announced, in the most
confident and famboyant style,
that the completion of certain
contracts would assure a depth
of anywhere from IS to 25 feet
OF water on Arkansas bar. When
the Browns, of Baltimore, and
Acontractor Clark took hold of
the work, those who were at
all sanguine about deep water
predicted that, in few months,
large steamships would enter
the pass and that the problem
OF deep water on the west Tex
as coast was practically solved.
The months rapidly passed.
The contract of Clark has been
about completed. What is the
RESULT As the beginning OF the
jetty work there were 9 feet
of water on the bar; now there
are only z feetl There could
hardly be a greater disappoint-
nent to those who had so con-
fidently expected substantial
Sesnlts. So far as appears at
present, the last work at Aran
sas Pass has been a detriment
rather than help.
At Galveston, after the gov
eminent. has spent some seven
millions of dollars, it is now
reported that depth of % feet
has been secured. Whether
this can be maintained or not
is doubtful. There seems to be
q good and permanent channel
at Sabine Pass, but that port
Is said to be ont of the line of
commerce. At Velasco we read
that constant and heavy bred
ging will be neccepary to pre-
serve the moderate depth on
sbe bar.
Thus it appears that secur |
flg deep water on the western
Texas coast, by means of the
jetty system, cannot be count |
ed on. 1t may be that the con-
struction of a breakwa'er and |
building wharf ont to deep |
water is the only way in which |
that great desideratnm can be
obtained.
