A Waterman Injured and a Pony Killed
A huge anaconda on exhibition in q
museum in Philadelphia, Pa, Sunday,
severely injured Samuel Washer, the
museum Waterman, and crushed to
death valuable trick pony. The pony
was tied to a feed-box alongside the
snaconda's cage. Mr.. Washer saw tho
reptile had worked one Of the boards
Of its cage loose and had stretched it's
tail out q short distance. He pushed
the board to, believing the anaconda
would pull it within its Gage again.
Instead, it wriggled out and wrapped
itself, several times about Mr.. Washer.
The latter screamed for help and the
pony, frightened by the big reptile,
began jumping about. This probably
saved Washers life. for the reptile I'M
wound itself from him and completely
encircled the pony. Mr.. Mssher fell
to the floor unconscious, while the big
snake continued to crush the PONY un.
til life was extinct. When number
Of employees reached the scene the
make had begun to unwind itself and
appeared to be getting ready for more
fight. Tho men kept aloof uatil a
laeso had been obtained and the ana.
conda finally made secure. Several of
Washers ribs were broken and he was
removed to q hospital.

Aunt and Nephew Fatally Burned.

Mrs. Terrill and her nephew, Edward
Mason, were burned to death on farm
few miles from Peru, N. Y, last
Monday night. Mrs. Terrill, who was
70 years old, started to her room to
retire at about 9 O'Clock, carrying a
kerosene lamp. In some unexplained
way the lamp was upset. The burning
oil fell on her clothing, enveloping her
10 flames. Her nephew, who was so
years old, tried to help her and in his
endesvors his own clothing took fire.
When he had succeeded in putting out
the flames, Mrs. Terrill was uncon.
,cious. She died soon after the arrival
Of the neighbors. Mason was 20 horri-
bly, burned that he died few hours
later.

Saturday night for shooting the wife
of his cousin, Mrs. James Turner.
Young Turner was at the home OF hla
cousin, near Honeycomb, when Mrs.
Turner asked some Of the family to
kill chicken for her to cook fog
dinner. Wilkins drew a pistol and
eaid be would shootit. She remarked'
Don't shoot the frizzled one; get an
other" This seemed to anger tho
young man, and turning his weapon
upon the woman, said: ''I'Il shoot you,
them" and fired. The bullet entered
the woman's nose and ranged upwards,
making a fatal wound. The officers
had to hurry Turner off to Jail rapidly

A REASONABLE RESPITE
GRANTED DURRANT BY THE STATE sU.
PREME COURT.
uo Must be Given ut Least Sixty Day.
Grace -. Other Reasons for the Stay 90.
Appeal to the Supreme Court -. Tho
Court Granted the Appeal Applied for.

VIM. Henry Theodore Durraut was
not hung at San Quentin, Gal,
Friday morning after oil, the supreme
court of the State of California having
granted him another respite at tho
eleventh hour. Up to 4 O'clock Thurs;
day afternoon, when the news flashed
over the wires from Sacramento that
the court, now in session there, had
granted writ of probable cause, and
instructed Warden Hale not to carry
out the execution of Durrant until fur.
'thet ordera, there was apparently no.
further hope for the condemned muir.
derer of Blanche Lamont and Minnie
Williams, and his attorneys, Messrs.
Dickinson and Boardman, had made q
futile effort to secure another writ of
habeas4 corpus In the United States
court, and had not even been granted
permission to appeal from that deci ion
to the supreme court of the United
States. Meanwhile, however, applica-
ton was made to the State supreme
court for writ of probable cause, for
the purpose of staying the proceedings
against Durrant, upon the grounds that
no official knowledge Of the action of
the United States supreme court in the
matter of Durrant's appealing from the
decision of the federal court had vet
been received; that the superior court
had acted too hastily in sentencing
Durrant to be hanged Friday. as the
law required that he be given at least
sixty days grace; and, thirdly, that the
tendency of an appeal In the supreme
court affecting the condemned was Of
itself sufficient cause for stay Of exc.
cution. The matter was partially ar.
gued in chambers, and later argued be.
fore the full court announced its deci,-
ion granting the writ applied for, in
which ell the justices conourred.

More Railroad Facilities Wan ed.


An enthusiastic meeting of citizens of
Monroe was held Friday to give form
and impetus to the general desire in
Monroe for more railroads, and ccm.
mittee of three, composed Of John P.
Parker, J. s. Handy and W. B. Reilly,
was appointed. The purpose is to
organize company and get a tax voted
by the city in favor of the company,
which will also raise some money by
stock subscriptions. 1t is hoped that
5000, 900 raised thus will give the com.
pany and Monroe commanding inau-
enoe with railroad projectors. It Is still
thought that the extension of the rail-
road from junction City will bring it
to Monroe.

And Totally Destroyed by Firs...No Lives
The passenger train on the Louis.
vile, Henderson and st. Louis road,
which left St. Louis Thursday evening
and which was due in Louisville, Ky.
at 1880 O'Clock Friday morning, was
derailed and entirely consumed by fire
at 4 O'Clock Friday morning near
Lewisport, KY, ninety-eight miles
from Louisville. No lives we're lost
and, so far as is known, no one was
seriously injured.
The accident is attributed to a freak
Of the high wind Thursday night which
overturned box car standing on the
Lewisport siding. The car fell direct
ly across the main track and near =
sharp curve on the road. It was not
seen by the engineer Of the passenger
train until it was too late to stop his
engine and the train crashed into tho
obstruction, overturning the engine
and tender and the combination car.
The stove in the combination car set
fire to the paper and other indammable
matter around it and before the train
men could remove the cars, the other
coaches also caught, q sleeper and Q
day coach being totally destroyed, in
addition to the combination car, in
which was the. smoker and baggage.
The passengers bad plenty Of time to
escape, and Traffic Manager Hill, who
was on the Inflated train, wires that
aside from q few bruises no one was
injured. The loss will be heavy.

Old Man Shoots Drunken Assailant.
A deplorable tragedy took place be.
low Lake Providence Thursday night.
Jesse Russell, the former landing and
light keeper at Holly Brook, d landing
about four miles below Lake Provi.
dence, was shot and killed outright by
nm old white man named Solomon
Narthan. Russell when drinking was
always insulting. He was discharged
yesterday as landing keeper and this
old white man, fisherman at the land.
ing, was hired in his place. In the
afternoon, after his discharge, Russell
went to the store, and he was quite
drunk when he came back to the land.
ing. Narthan, who had been squirrel
hunting, met him at the landing and
politely asked him for the books.
Russell cursed him several times, and
be was advancing toward him with his
band in his pocket, when Narthan, be.
lievins bis life in danger, shot him.
There was no one present when the
difficulty took place, buta wagon drove
up to the landing q few minutes after
wards, and Russell was found dead.
Narthan, after the shooting, not know.
ing that Russell was dead and fearing
for bis life, had run into his boathouse
on the river bank, and he was found
there with his old wife when the sherifl's
deputies went after him. Narthan il
seventy.seven years of age, and was
born in s.. Francisville, La. he came
here in trading boat from Memphis
about ten months ago, and having sold
all his goods took to fishing for liv-
ing. He cleared several acres OF land
outside of the levee and made little
crop. He hos the reputation Of being
quiet citizen, and no doubt be shot
Russell in self.defense after much pro.
vocation. He is very much distressed
about it and about his old wife, who is
left by herself in the boathouse on the
bank of the river. The preliminary
trial has not been fixed.
