used as sharpshooters, and at the three days battle at that place one-half of the men who had braved the red men of the plains fell in the fierce contest, Wiggins coming out with copper bullet in his hip and his left arm nearly severed at the wrist by a maohete. With two other wounded men, one O captain from St. Louis, Wig gins was taken back to Taos by Capt. Tres ser. now resident of this city. His wounds, owing to the fragments of copper remaining embedded in the bone, ineapac- itated him for IA months, but. being fully restored, he again resumed the life of trapper, hunter and scout, and, as a fur ther memento of his experience with the Indians, he got a stiff elbow from a pol soned Kiowa arrow, the head of which was bent by the bones of the elbow.
 In 1858 he came to Denver to join the gold seekers on Cherry creek, but, not get ting more than a quillful of the yellow stuff he found employment in hunting game for the miners, and dropped many a fine deer in the underbrush that extended in those days from the Broadway hose house to the south side of Capitol hill.
 In 1864, with Bill Comstock he was em- ployed to follow up the Arapahoes. who had captured a train of nine wagons bring ing goods to George Tritch of this city, killed Smith, one of the owners, and the nine drivers burned the wagons and drove off the stock They overlook them on Plum creek, 30 miles this side of Kearny, but the 190 regulars and 50 Pawnees composing the force were badly whipped, and the Indians got away, committing further depredations, including the killing of the Eubanks fam fly. Next year Wiggins located at Alkali Post, where he continued his service as scout

 marksmen brought S2 of the redskins to
 the dust, and, recognizing Kit Carson and
 his band the Kowas got away as speedily
 as possible, leaving their dead comrades
 to furnish additions to the scalp collection
 of their relentless enemies.

 Wiggins, "and after I emerged from un-
 der the wagon where my fight had driven
 me, I threw the thing away and determ-
 ined that I wanted full-sized gun in the
 future."
 In due time the train neared its desti- nation, and danger from the Indians be-
 ing passed, Kit Carson and his men left
 to return to their homes at Taos N. NJ,
 camping the first night about two miles
 from the wagon train. The light of their
 camp fire seemed to beckon young Wig
 gins to join those rowing knights of the
 plain. and that night he stole away from
 the wagons and upon his urgent entreat-
 les was accepted into the service of the
 greatest of frontiersmen, and, despite his youth, soon became as proficient in the art
 of Indian warfare as the older members of
 the band. Carson owned large herds of cattle and horses at Tais, and Wiggns and
 others were employed to take care of them.
 and the following year he gained his first experience in hunting redskins.

MULE KNOWN JUDIClALLY.
Court Was Not So Certain as to the Fireman
 and the Mare.

From Case and Comment.
 An amusing opinion by Judge Wilkes in a late Tennessee case, which is too long to quote here, describes the adventures of a mare on a railroad track. As she reached a trestle with freight train engaged in interstate commerce behind her the train stopped to await "the pleasure and future movements of the mare" The fireman "approached the animal in a quiet, peace- able, undemonstrative manner and with the best intentions" and without anything unusual in his appearance except that he may have had on his back clothes and his face may have been covered with smoke. But the mare over the trestle, "stepping sometimes on the ties and some times on the vacant spaces between them" and in so doing was injured, although she succeeded in making the passage. A prior decision of the same court as to a mule which jumped from trestle in front of train was cited, and Is said to have "given the court much concern" although there was an earnest attempt to distin- guish the two cases. The fact that in one case it was a mule and in the other a mare that was on the track did not seem "to present satisfactory ground of distinction inasmuch as the mare and mule are bound quite closely by ties of con- sanguinity."
 In respect to the claim that ''it is negli- gence pure and simple to approach a mule or a frightened horse without soft words and kindly outstretched hands," the court says: "The distinction here made between a mule or @ horse Is we'll talSen-that is, that it Is dangerous to approach a mule whether he is frightened or not. This court is agreed that the fireman ought to have known as much as this court about horses and mules."
 Upon the whole case the court is of opinion that though the mare has re- covered, the plaintiff ought not to recover" |" Some general comments are made to the effect that "perversity and a disposition to have their own way seems to be a pe- culiarity of east Tennessee animals" The court refers to the suicide of a Texas pony in that state and to the catastrophe 10 two hounds in fox chase who dis puted the right of way with an approach Ing train on this same road but adds that 1t Is not shown that the fireman knew of this perverse disposition of animals in East Tennessee, and as he was on a through train thep resumption Is that he did not know of these local peculiarities.

HIS MOTHER WASN'T DEAD.
Yet This Photographer Was Able to Get Her
 Spirit Picture.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Several years ago certain Cleveland photographer made speciality of spirit" photographs and built up quite a trade in them. One day stolid-looking citizen en- tered the gallery.
 Sir" he said to the photographer, "I want my picture taken with my mothers. She died in the old country few weeks ago."
 'yery well, sir,' said the man of cam eras; take seat"
 He posed the stranger and photographed him, and told him to call for the finished article on a certain day.
 Of course, the simple operation of double printing brought out shadowy face be- side that of the stranger, the effect being increased by the dim ghastliness of the faint impression.
 Promptly on time the man came back, and was shown the picture.
 "Ah.' he instantly said. ''that isn't my mother"
 Isn't it?'' said the photographer, as he slanted the portrait so as to catch the light at a different angle.
 No; 1t isn't''
 Strange" said the artist. But it sometimes happens. The spirits have their tals, and I suppose some old spirit lady is trying to fool us. You don't recognize the likeness at all. eh?'
 :" Faint that said the man.
 What is the trouble, then?"
 The man hesitated.
 Well you see," he said, "the picture an't no use to me now"
 why not?" inquired the photographer
 "'Cause I got a letter from my sister this morning saying that it was all a mis- take about mother dying. She was just lying in swoon, and now she is almost well again.
 The photographer kept his face straight by violent effort. That's all right" he said. "Some con- founded spirit has put up job on us. You needn't take the picture. Good day"

COLONEL BRYAN.

Col. William J. Bryan left Savannah
last night for Washington. He will
stay there a few days before going
west. Col. Bryan before leaving Sa
vannah gave his impressions concerning
some of the present issues. Among
o.her things he said: II may be in
error, but, in my judgment, our nation
is in greater danger just now than is
Cuba. The people defended Cuba
against foreign arms, now they must
defend themselves and their country
against foreign idea-the colonial idea
OF European nations. Heretofore greed
mas perverted the government and used
its instrumentalitie for private gain,
but now the very foundation princi-
pies of our government are assaulted.
rhe imperialislic idea is directly an
tagonistic TO the ideas and Ideals which
have been cherished by the American
people since the signing of the declara-
ton of independence. Our nation
must give up any intention of entering
upon colonial policy such as is now
pursued by European countries or it
must abandon the doctrine that govern
ments derive their just powers from
the consent Of the governed.n After
expaiatins on Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, and giving his idea ns
to how Congress should deal with the
treaty, he said. "We should reserve
harbor aud coaling stations in Porto
Rico and the Philippines in return for
services rendered, and / think we
would be justified in asking the same
concession from Cuba. In the case Of
Porto Rico, where the people have as
yet expressed no desire for an indie
pendent government, we might with
propriety declare our willingness to
annex the island, if the citizens desire
annexation, but the Philippine Islands
are too far away, and their people too
different from ours to be annexed to
the United States, even if they de-
sired it,"
Col. Bryan intends 10 enter actively
into the fight against the colonial poll
cy. Ia fact, it is evident that this was
the main cause that led to his resigna-

BURSTING OF A GAS HOLDER.

A big, new telescope gas-holder OF
the Consolidated Gas Company, which
was said to be the largest in the world,
and which had just been erected in the
center of the block bounded by First
avenue, Avenue A and Twentieth and
Twenty. first streets, New York, burst
while it was being tested at $50 o'clock
yesterday evening, let loose a food of
100000 gallons of water, buried in its
ruins at least one man, killed another
outright and injured many others. The
gas went out wherever the company's
service extended below Grand street,
and, as it was not turned on again,
much inconvenience was caused to con-
sumers, especially newspaper offices
using typesetting machines, and in
some cases the men were compelled to
go back to the old method of setting
type by hand.
Part of the wrecked structure fell
upon the rear of the table factory of
Henry Fouldper, at the southeast cor
ner of Avenue A and Twenty frat
street, crushed the lower part of the
factory, where the engine room was,
under many tons of torn and twisted
steel, and buried the engineer, Plus
Baum, while the great blast OF escaping
air which followed the collapse of the
reservoir blew fragments of the build
ing half 8 block away. The tenement
houses which were north of the factory
were also damaged and rendered IN.
inhabitable. The food of water from
the foundation of the gas-holder was
turned loose, principally into Twenty
first street, where it swept east and
west in great wave, starting with a
height of ten or twelve feet and reach
ing q depth of four feet at First avenue.
before it was lowered by spreading out
into the avenue.
The food spread all around the block
and filled cellars before it got chance
to run off. Every man who was at the
north of the gas-holder was certainly
killed, for the whole street there is GOV.
cred with tangle of wreck. amid
which none could find safety, and it
will not be surprising if number of
bodies of persons not yet known to be
missing are found there when the
wreck is cleared away.
