for getting home are not bright. The

Burglars were active In Dallas, Mar
shall county, Thursday night, while the
natives were enjoying a Thanksgivlng
entertainment. Rhodes and McCollum's
stores were entered, but the booty Sc
cured was not very much. Some small
change was taken from the former store,
and the safe was taken from McCollum's
store out into n field, and breaking It
open and finding nothing but papers, the
thieves left in disgust. The safe, which
Is a small one. was found behind a hay
stack. A private residence was visited,
but nothing Of value taken. The suppo-
sltion prevails that the thieves are not
strangers to Dallas.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 26.-The Queen
City, which left the wharf Wednesday
evening, got into trouble at Waliery, just
above Freedom, Wednesday night, and
Is still there, hard and fast m the bar.
She had only a light trip On board. but
owing TO the needles being put In the
dam at Davis island the water was
draining out Of the river very rapidly,
and It took very careful work to keep in
the channel. Just as the boat got into
Wallery, a very dangerous part Of the
river, her headlight went out. The pilot
had no choice but TO stop her, and before
the electrician could get the light in
shape the boat had drlfted N the bar,
In e~ndeavorlng 20 get her or the boat
broke her rigging and capstan. The Ben
Hur passed the Queen City yesterday
and turned back to help her or. After a
few hours work the Ben Hur got
aground also.

Spence f. Hager, a Baltimore & Ohio
brakeman, residence 2GOS Market street,
while coupling cars last night about
1880 o'clock, in front of the Wheeling
Ice s Storage plant, on Water street.
slipped and fell across the track, and
the lower part of his body was so
frlghtfully crushed that ne died half
an hour after being removed to the
City hospital,
The cars were hauled by yard engine
No. 90, and Hager after making the
coupling, gave the signal to SO ahead,
Just as he did so he reached in to
make the coupling more secure, and In
doing so slipped, falling with the lower
part OF his body across the tracks. The
wheels passed over both legs above the
knee and crushing one hip. A fellow
trainman rave the alarm in time to
prevent the next raj from going over
him.
When taken out from the rails the
unfortunate nan displayed rare cour-
age, He asked for a drink Of water
and ne was given stlmulants, A few
minutes afterward he was given drugs
to ease his pain by Drs. Reed and
Dickey, who had been summoned. The
city ambulance conveyed him from the
Baltimore & Ohio baggage shed to the
hospital, and 1t was evident to all that
his death was but 4 matter Of m hour
or two.
A distressing feature OF the tragedy
is that he leaves a wife and three chill
dren, the youngest child being only six
days old. He wa in his twenty-s ev enth
year, and was popular with all who
knew him. The rains Of yesterday and
last night made the ground very slip
perry, and probably resulted in his fall
and subsequent death.

FEAR OF THE ECLIPSE.
Emperor Of China Issues a Decree TO Fend
or the Wrath OF Heaven.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 29.--The
state department has Just received
copy, through United States Minister
DENLY, of the recent curious decree is
sued by the emperor of China to fend
off the wrath OF Providence as indicated
in the eclipse predicted for New Years
day. The document is pronounced by
experts to be masterful exhibition Of
typical Chinese craftsmanship, In view
of the existing critical condition of af-
fairs in the celestial empire The decree
reads as follows:
According to the Chun Chiu (sprlng
and autumn annals) 1t has been stated
that an eclipse of the sun on the first
day OF the year betokens an impending
calamity, hence the sovereign OF every
dynasty which has preceded us, have
always made It O point, whenever an
eclipse OF the sun is prognosticated, to
undergo reimbursement and humble
themselves before heaven, In order to
avert the wrath from above. In the
case OF our own imperial dynasty, for
instance, during the relgns of their ma
jestles Kang HsI and Chen Lung
fiG62-l994} there were observed two
eclipses OF the sun, which fell on Il
New Years day; and, now according
90 the board of astronomy, the first day
OF the twenty-fourth year OF our
reign (22nd January iS9S) there VIII
vet be another eclipse OF the sun. We
are flied with forebodlngs at this news
and hasten to seek within ourselves for
sins which have thus brought the wrath
Of High Heaven upon the land. We
further command that the ceremonies
OF congratulation, usually held on New
Years day in the Taiho Throne hall be
curtaled and only ordinary obseisances
be made, the place being changed to the
CHEN Using Throne hall Instead OF the
Tniho Ho Throne h8M The banquet us
ually given to the Imperial clansmen on
New Years day must also be stopped,
and when the eclipse occurs, let I'll
members Of the court wear sober gar
ments and assemble In the inner palace
before the altar set W to Heaven TO
pray for forbearnnce and mercy to the
country at large. This Is so far as shall
concern ourselves to show our desire to
propitlate High Heaven, but as Her
majesty. the Empress Dowager, Is an
elder and senior, It is but right that the
full ceremonies be observed In praying
the courts obseisnnces on New Years
day TO her majesty. Let all the Yamens
concerned take note"
