MRS. DAVIS IS PROSTRATED
BURIAL WILL BE AT RICHMOND
Remains of Daughter of the Confederacy Will Be Inferred by the Side of Her Illustrious Father-Tef-
 egrams of Coincidence.

Narragansett Pier, R. l., September ls.- Miss Wirue Davis, daughter Of Mrs. 1el- ferson Davis, died at noon yesterday at the Rockingham hotel, to which place she came as a guest in the early part of the Pier social season. She had been i'll for several weeks, and a fortnight ago her aiIment was diagnosed as maladal gastrlts.
 At times her condition became very seri- GUS, so that consultations of physicians were deemed necessary, but frequent ral- lies gave renewed hope that she would ul- tlmately recover
 During the past week especially was her condition considered favorable and 1t was thought that her removal from the hotel would be possible in a few days, as the hotel had closed for the season, leaving the patients and attedants practically alone in the house. Saturday night, however, a relapse in Miss Davis condition was no- tieed and throughout the night she lost strength perceptibly.
 End 10 All Suffering
 Yesterday morning the physician said that the end was not far off, and at noon death came to end the suffering, which at times had been intense. Mrs. Davis had watched unremittingly at her daughters bedside, and she is now bowed with sor- row.
 Arrangements for the funeral of Miss Winnie Davis have not been completed. Mrs. Davis is still prostrated and unable to read the many messages of condolence which have arrived from all parts of the country Telegrams from the southern states have been coming in rapidly all the Forenoon The interment will occur in the south.
 Late this afternoon the physician in at- tendance on Mrs. Davis reported that her condition was about the same. She is yet too Ill to be able to read messages of con dolence arriving from all points of the country.
 On Wednesday afternoon the remains of MISS Davis will be removed to the parlor or Rockingham hotel, where they may be viewed by friends. The funeral services VIII be held at Richmond Va, on Friday.

eRnAr pAY EOS OLYMPIA.
when the First Train Started over .
Railway Built by the Natives.

Probably the cheapest railroad In tho
world was built in Oregon in 1879. Dur
ing the preceding year the Northern Pa
CifiC Railroad company surveyed the line
between Portland and Olympia, terminal
ing at the latter place, but only for "A short
time. Then it was moved away to Ia
coma, 30 miles farther north.
Vt that the people of Olympia arose In
indignation, called "a meeting, and after
vigorously discussing ways and means re-
solved that, although the railroad had bcea
both given and taken away, they were not
bound TO submit as unto the Lord, but
would build one for themselves and build
1t with voluntary subscriptions of labor
and material.
One bright morning in April the Olym-
pia brass band halted at tho corner of Main
and Fourth streets. Charley Changers
bay mule Betty fell in behind. Then cnmo
the officials of both city and county, led
by the governor and followed by the citi-
zens, until the whole procession was half
u mile i'm length. They marched to q high
bluff above the capitol building, and there
the mayor of the city and the governor
both made speeches, and n prayer was Of
fercd. The first sod was turned, and the
grading of the road began in earnest. Ono
day in every week was sot apart as field
day, when the city and county officials
came out as at first, the merchants closed
their stores, and mechanics shut their
shops, and young mon and old men, boys
and Indians piled the spade with hearty
Will, while the women spread the tables
with all things needed for a midday feast.
Week after week the work went on, and
the road stretched out past the timber
skirting the upper end of Puget sound,
past the falls of Tumwater, between the
Indian mounds of Mound Prairie, through
half a mile of timber to Bush Prairie,
more timber, more prairie, across wide
and shallow Scatter creek, 10 miles to
Tenino.
Then the ties were made and laid and
not a dollar had yet been asked for. But
thetime had come TO buy the rolling stock,
and subscriptions came pouring in until
everything was bought and ready.
What u day it was in the history Of
Olympia when the first train was started
over the hard earned little railroad Open
cars We're hung with evergreen, and again
the people all came out, with music and
rejoicing, this time to ride and not t.
work.
Many of the old soldiers who labored
faithfully to build that little road, among
them General Milroy, who was known al
through the civil war as Gray Eagle, have
crossed the silent river, but tho road they
built is still in use, and old settlers point
to it with pride, the road the hardy pic
necrs made with their own hands, the
cheapest railroad in the world.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

DIED OF GRIEF.
Horse That Could Not Stand the Pangs
of Separation.

A Horse That Could Not Stand the Pangs
of Separation.
"Speaking of the emotional life of a
horse, =" said an old trainer who had been
listening to a story about an animals
deQth that was directly traced TO grief, Il
recall One remarkable instance of sorrow
shown by a horse belonging to IA circus
with which | was travelling three years
ago. We were performing in the little
town of Unionville, Pa, when one of the
trick horses fell and sprained one of his
legs so badly that he could not travel. He
was taken to a livery stable and put in "a
box stall, the leg was bandaged and no
was made rs comfortable rs possible.
He ate his food and was apparently
contcntcd until about midnight, when
the circus began moving out Of town.
Then he became restless and tramped and
whinnied. AS the Gravans moved past
the stable he seemed to realize that he was
being deserted, and his anxiety and dis
tress became pltiful. He would stand
with his ears pricked in an attitude of in
tense listening, and then as his ears caught
the sounds of the retiring wagons he would
rush as best he could with his injured leg
from one side Of the stall to the other,
pushing at tho door with his nose and
making every effort to escape. The sta
bleman, who was Il stranger to him, tried
to sootho him, but to no purpose. He
would not be Comforted.
Long after all sounds of the circus had
ceased his agitation continued. The sweat
poured from him, and he quivered in ev-
cry part of his body. Finally the stable
man went to his, employers house, woke
him up and told him he believed the horse
would die if some of the circus horses were
not brought back to keep him company.
At about daylight the proprietor of the
stable mounted a horse and rode after the
circus. He overlook us 10 or IL miles
away, and as l had charge of ali the horses
and was much attached to the injured
animal returned with him. When We
reached the stall, the horse was dead.
Tile stablcman said that he remained
for nearly an hour perfectly still and with
every sense apparently strained to the ut
most tension, and then without making a
sign fell and died with scarcely a struggle.
The veterinarian who was called remarked
after the circumstances were told him
that unquestionably the horse died from
grief. Washington Star.

ct have owned and used many horses, "

several balky ones. ! once owned "a team,
the best one ! ever had, that at Times wero
stubborn and ugly and would not work.
One morning whom We were going out in
the field with % heavy lond we came to a
steep pitch In the roud The nigh horse, us
usual, ilarrd up, and then the other. We
tried TO start Thorn by cOaXing and by
using the lash, but it was no use. They re.
fused TO move. At last ! became Infatuated
and would have killed the horses with a
good will, but it was of no avail. / left
the team standing there that morning,
went back to the house and decided to
leave them there, when "a thought struck
me that proved successful
81 took @ widc board, and, making it
into the shape Of q paddle, proceeded to
the field. Once moro we tried the horses,
but it, was no use. They were determined
not TO move. Taking the weapon which l
had made ! struck first one horse, then
the uthrr, "a few blows, and TO my great
surprise they started at IA rapid rate. After
that always kept the paddle shaped
weapon i'm my wagon and when they re

them. / haNc tried this Same rule on
many other horses, and ! never know it
to fail.
