Wreck ON the Southern.

No. 2 east bound passenger train,
leaving here at 8:1S in the evening, was
wrecked near Vance's Tank night be-
fore last, and the fireman, '''Bos" Hene-
gar, was so seriously burned that there
is little hope of his recovery.
The train is known all along the line
as Ross Smiths train, and has met with
several serious wrecks in the last few
years. The train was rounding curve
when it struck a horse which derailed
the engine. 1t ran off and turned over,
catching the fireman and holding him
where the hot water and steam burned
him badly.
Engineer Bush was not seriously
hurt, neither was any one else on tn,
train.
The baggage car was also derailed
and the wreck was of such mature tina
it took several hours to clean it up.

Wild Men in a Cave.

George Nafl', the suburban explorer,
has made a remarkable discovery, if
his word is to be taken for it.
A few days ago he discovered, by ac-
cident, the whereabouts of the numer-
GUS realestate agents who once made
the wolkin ring with their praises Of
town lots in Carnegie and Deer Park
They have never been seen since the
the terrible collapse, and George Nafi
comes forward now with the glad news
that they are still in existence.
While chasing a rabbit in Deer Park,
Naff discovered a cave literally filled
with well known real estate men. He
says that they run into it to escape
when the crash came and found the
place so adopted to their circumstances
that they have been unable to get away
from it. He mention Boyd, Childress,
Phil Barnett, Finley Toy, old man
Spinning and half a dozen others as
constituting the colony. Their hair
and boards have grown to such an
enormous length that they can only be
recognized by their voices. They have
been living all spring on sheep 'sorrel"
and wild onions Their breaths are so
terrible that none of the outside world
can converse with them. They have
interpreter who can not smell, and
when anyone wishes to communicate
with one of them he tells his tale to the
interpreter, who lives exclusively on
spice wood and sacafrac bark. The in
terpreter disappears in the cave and
soon returns with the answer to the
message, Naff says he put his ear to
the ground one night last week and
heard E. Dudley Duncan reciting "Jim
Bledsoe. Ed was supposed to have
been killed in Cuba, but Naff vouches
for the statement that he is with the
wild onion eaters of Deer Park. He
could hear him very distinctly and
noted with pleasure that the audience
frequently interrupted the elocutionist
with hearty applause, He says that
applause is what Ed is looking for, and
having at last found it, he fears that he
will meyer return to the outer world.
He says that Finley Toy got his beard
full of cookie burs one night last week
while hunting for "dock green's" and
that they pulled out most of his beard
currying them out.
The men are we'll contented and never
venture out only at night.
