A LOADED TRUNK.
serious Accident 10 a Surprised Mes
senEer.
From the Express Gazette.


From the Express Gazette.
Some years since poem upon the fate
Of baggageman who smashed trunk
loaded with dynamite attracted considera
BILE attention among the travelling public
but it remained for an EXPRESS messen-
ger upon a Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
train to actually encounter that fate. He
is J. p. Henry, who. in addition to ham
ding the freight for the American Ex-
press Company, also looks after the bag
gage. He now lies in bed with a buck
shot in each leg, a cut over the left eye
bruise in the chin, a piece of zinc in
his foot and some twenty or thirty small
shot in different parts Of his body. And
with all of this he is happy that he is
alive. That the trunk was loaded Mes
senger Henry will make AFFIDAVIT, and put
in a photograph of his skin as evidence
but no one seems to know what 1t was
loaded for or with. The missiles would
be effective for either bear or flies.
Mr.. Henry runs between Nicksburg and
Memphis and when the train pulled into
Alligator Lake recently, the porter at the
depot pitched an ordinary looking trunk
INTO the car. was OAlg One OAntl
piece OF baggage in the car, and soon
after the train pulled out Mr. Henry
caught hold of the trunk, and was edging
1t to convenient place in the car, when
there was terrific explosion. The lid
flew up and struck him in the face, knock
ing him to the floor with the remains Of
the trunk on top of him. While he was
falling he received three small shot in the
right arm, and any number OF them in
both legs, together with a large ball In
each leg one being about the middle OF
the left calf, and the other just above the
right ankle. He was conscious enough
when the mail agent rushed In to tell the
latter to pull the bell cord. as the mass
Of rubbish had taken fire from the ex-
plosion. The postal clerk aided MIR. Hen
~ In extricating himself until the con-
ductor and brakemcn came TO their as
sistance. Under Instructions the latter
threw the remains OF the trunk out OF the
car door from fear that Il might con-
tain some other explosives. The train
men were afraid 20 make an examination
Of the contents OF the loaded trunk. but
as II went out Of the door there could
be seen "a box u caps for an Old-fashiOned

Of clothing. IL could not be soen whether

POLICE COURT MELANGE.
George jacobson Goes to the Work
house for Assault.

George Jacobson was sentenced to
sixty days at Como by Judge Twohy
yesterday, for assaulting a butcher at
Merriam Park about a month ago.
Jacobson was originally held to the
grand jury on charge of assault in
higher degree. He was sent back, how
ever, to the municipal court with the
recommendation that he be allowed to
plead guilty of simple assault and that
his past Imprisonment Of one month be
deducted from the term of his sentence
at the workhouSe. Jacobson was,
therefore, punished yesterday with a
sentence Of ninety days, thirty days of
which were considered to have been
already served.
J. G. Sansome, the Minnesota street
dealer in second hand goods, was dis
charged. He had been accused by a
negro of doing a pawnbroker's business
without license.
The case of Reginald Gould, hand.
some, bright boy, was continued until
Jan. IL. Reginald's parents assert that
he refuses to stay at home Reggie
himself explained last night, at Sheriff
ChapePs that he had harbored no evil
intentions. He simply wanted to be
pirate. To that end he had thought
ruby studied many manuals of the art
OF piracy. He believes that he is now.
theoretically at least, complete buca-
neer, and he regrets that civilized ma
tons offer at present so few openings
to an apostle Of the black flag.
George Dansereau furnished 81 900
bail. and was released to appear for
trial Jan: II. He is charged with en-
beZzling $40 from the United States Elk
press company, while in their service
as driver. George is twenty-three
years old, and is the son of a father
much respected. His attorney Is All
stract Clerk. f. w. Bazille. Danser-
eau's statement indicates that if guilty.
at all. it is of a technical crime only
ne SAYS that he failed to turn in his
COLLECTIONS as promptly as Agent Odds
desired. but that he never kept a. cent of
me company's money. 1t is understood
that such is the case. and that the
prosecution inaugurated by the corpo-
ration IS intended chiefly as an example
to careless or negligent employees.

Reports Show the Years. Work to
Have Been Successful.
The annual meeting of the lady man
ayers of the free dispensary was held
yesterday morning. DR.. Helen W. Bis
sell, the secretary, in her annual report
said:
The year 1895 opened with serious def
cheney in the treasury, and a building, which
we felt more every day not adapted to the
needs of the work. Today, through the eX-
ertions Of our friends, led and directed by
q place as the most exacting could demand
and a moderate balance of money for i'm
mediate use Despite the fact that the
changes neceSsitated a closing of soma of the
clinics for weeks, and an interference with
all, the attendance summed up SIP visits
which was more than 600 larger than that of
1894. -
The numbers varied from 1.O96 in MAY to
B93 in October, when the repairs were being
made; 54Oo prescriptions were given, Of
which 1881 were free.
The oft-repeated statement that we were
being imposed upon has been seriously studied
this year, and the improved organization of
ehe board OF managers has enabled us to give
ms mater full consideration. Working, as we
40, with the secretary OF the board of asso-
c1ated charities it is almost impossible for
an unworthy person to be treated for any
considerable length of time and it also les
sens the risk Of denying aid to deserving
poor on account of respectable snnearancn
The play of ''Esmeralda" and the base hall
game were successful both on account of the
pleasure they gave and for the substantial
financial returns.
The officers were elected as fellows: Presi-
mrs z w Hackett; second vice president
Miss d. Wilder; secretary. Dr. H w BIS
sell; assistant secretary, Mrs. W. F. Graves =.
treasurer Mrs. j: B. Hoxsie.
