4 HORRIBLE SUICIDE.

sH
Masy Calanities At Mandan.
Such a chapter Of accid ents, says
the Bismarck Tribune. as character
,zed the town of Mandan Saturday
has seldom been related in the his
tory Of that city.
JosepliNWilliams, u fireman living
in the city, committed suicide Oh he
train about seven miles west of Man
dan by throwing himself into the
firebox OF the engine upon which he
was working. Such u suicide has
never been heard Of before. Will
liams was young man, and when
he bade,, his wife good bye in the
morning;it is reported, told her she
might not see him again. His &C
tions when upon the engine were
strange and he persisted in keeping
up roaring fire in the firebox of the
engine, although the train was fol-
lowing q, freight and there was no
need for "a great amount of steam.
There was an extra fireman on the
train and while he and the engineer
we're looking out Of the window Will.
liams disappeared. When his disap-
pearnce was noted, both men looked
hehind the train to see il he had fall
en- off. Not for some moments was
it noticed that he had thrown him
self into the firebox of the engine.
The water pail was reached for to
extinguish the flames, but the sui.
eide had apparently thrown it off, to
prevent such use. Williams body
was rescued from the tirebox where it
lay, and the flames extinguished, but
he was already dead from the in.
tense heat, and his head and chest
were terribly disfgured. w illiams
had met with an accident last win.
ter, by which he had lost the sight
of one eye. and this fact prevented
him from being promoted to the
position Of engineer. This fact may
have led him to despond. His re.
mains were taken east on the train
Sunday morning for burial in Wis
consin.
Another fatal accident resulted in
the death of w. Mcintyre, one OF
three men who drank ammonia as a
chaser after whiskey, by mistake,
The ammonia had been used to clea n
windows and was in bottle on the
bar. Three doses of the stuff were
poured out. for the three men, and
Mcintyre gulped his portion down at
y swallow, before the nature of the
stuff was determined. He fingered
several days and died Saturday. after
terrible suffsrings. Peculiarly
enough. Mcintyre was one of the ju.
rors who convicted Coudot, who was
lynched Sunday morning.
A carpenter named McVey added
to the list of calamities by falling
from a barn and breaking his leg,
Two railroad brakemen named
Welch and Smith, met with acci.
dents in coupling cars. and both suf-
fer-d badly crushed hands as result.
Word was also received that DR..
E. w. Read, who was taken to Brain
erd to undergo treatment for blood
poisoning, had suffered the amput a.
tion of his arm. that having bee n
decided upon as the only means by
which there was a possibility of
saving his ,'life.-Later. DR.. Reed
died Sunday and his remains were
taken back to Mandan for burial.

A Hut Used by Washington.

While hundreds of pilgrims daily
crowd the shrine of Mount Vernon, one
of the most interesting relics of Wash
ington remains unknown and un-
noticed, and is rapidly falling into de-
cav. This is a small cabin which was
used by Washington when a young
man, engaged in surveying the lands OF
upper Virginia. The house is located
in Clark county, the district being
formed in 1880 from Frederick, and
named for the illustrious general,
George Clarke, of early days. Near
Berryville, in Clarke county, Gen. Dan
iel Morgan, of revolutionary fame,
built a handsome home, which he called
Soldiers Rest" About 200 yards from
the site of this manor is located the
cabin, which is regarded with almost
religious veneration by the people of
the neighborhood, and which is being
slowly eaten by the tooth of time. The
house is 12 feet square, and there are
but two rooms, one on the ground floor
and one for garret. Beneath the build
ing flows, or rather, did flow, during
the last century, a small stream, which
was used for cooling purposes. The up
per chamber is lathed and plastered;
only one window lights it, while a rough
door gives access to the visitor, who
must Ia mt by ladder. Here it was
that Washington was accustomed to
keep his instruments when on sur
veying expedition.--New haven Pour

The miners of Leadville saw fit to re

was fair proposition by the mine man
ayers and the governor, after days and

terrible expense to miners and their

menace to4he welfare of Leadville and
every portion of the commonwealth, One
of the worst features of this entire busi-

full egs-.7 said Mr.. Doyle, the steward
of the Waldorf, at which Lii stopped
during his sojourn in New York, "are not
so bad after all. Here is one OF them

incased in clay.) This was given me by
one of the cooks, and may be century
old for aught 1 know. This is pre-
served hens egg. The process of keep
ing them is very primitive and simple,
and yet very effective. This is the way
it is done: First the eggs are boiled
hard; then, while they are hot they are
wrapped in soft clay and packed away.
They will keep forever. They were
brought here in bags packed in rice
husks, some of which, you see, cling to
the clay around this one. When opened
the whites of these eggs are almost
black and the yolks are green. They
chop them very fine and decorate most
of their viands with them, and they
enter largely into all their sauces. The
ducks eggs are of the finest Peking
and Muscovey breeds. They are first
boiled, then preserved in paste OF
charcoal, which hardens about them.
The ducks eggs are opened, split in
half and served cold in the shell, and,
old as these eggs are, assure you
they are delicious. st. Louis Repub
