ANOTHER MULE
Struck by an Iron Mountain Switch
 Engine Tuesday Afternoon.

Tuesday afternoon a mule which was attached to a wagon filled with cotton seed and driven by young negro boy, was struck by a switch engine while crossing the Iron Mountain track on State street. The left fore.lee of the animal was broken and to watch the uneasiness of the animal after the accident made it very evident that it suffer- ed intense agony. The animal was the property of Mr. E. D. Culpep- per, and it was later found necessa- ry to shoot it to relieve It of its suf- ferings.
 The seed was spread for several yards distance in almost every di- rection. The boy alighted upon his craniunl, but it being of the real material, only the earth was in dented.
 Whether or not the accident was due to earelessness has not been learned, but we were informed soon after the accident that Q wate hman was not at the crossing at the time it happened.

attic drama, calling down upon the stage and profession tirade of abuse alike from press, public aad pulpit. In presenting the classic Faust, which is recognized as one of the gems In English literature, Lewis Morrison succeeded in not only stamping his name upon the age as an adaptor of vast intelll- gence, but in his masterly creation of "Mephisto," gave to the stage new character which has no counter part. Mr. Morrison is an actor Of refinement and culture, who never stoops to mawkish melo-dramatic effect to emphasize his point, but handles his character with natur. al consistency and practical concep- tion which charms the eye and ear, and thoroughly satisfies the mlnd. After having been identified with "Fa1st" for Is years, Mi. Morrison announces this, his last visit to us in that wonderful play, for next season will see him in a new char acter. and one on which he builds great expectations. Faust will be presented at the opera house in this city, Wed nesday, January 11th.

SPITE WORK
Joe Wiley, Escape Convict. Causes
 Trouble at County Jail.

Joe Wiley, the white escaped con- vet from Louisiana, is naturally mad because he was captured, and when informed last evening by Jail CT Davis that be would be taken back to his former quarters this morning, he attempted to indulge in some very costly mischief.
 He started in early in the morn ing by stealing a woolen shirt from a negro prisoner named Blocker and when approached and accused of the theft he blankly denied it. Blocker was confident that Wiley had the shirt and Jailer Davis instituted a search for 1t. The stolen article was found under the bed-covering in Wiley's cell.
 Before leaving Jail this morning in company with the penitentiary warden, who was to take him back to Louisiana, he unscrewed a tap on the sewer pipe which ran through his cell and thereby caused all the cells to be flooded. This was not discovered until after wa ter had covered all the cell floors in the jail building at least a foot deep. Jailer Davis hurried to the depot and at temped to make Wiley tell where the tap was, but Wiley swore he didn't know and never unscrewed it, but he was the only person in the c ell and must have done it.

THOMAS SHARKEY.

Irish-Ameriean pagilist forged his
 way so positively and undeniably to
 the front rank that Fitasimmons
 must now consider the sailor pug
 lists claim without delay.
 Sharkey last night was q revela- tion to those who saw him a couple Of years ago. His ring work and generalshlp were so vastly superior to his exhibitions when be first came to the east as a fighter that the improvement is almost incred- ib.e.
 Great punches of muscle, with un- limited confidence and a cool head are the qualities which have enabled Sharkey to fight his way 10 the front rank of heavyweight pugilists and no one, not even Mccoy, who suffer- ed defeat at his hands, denies the full measure of praise that is dne the Irishmar.
 McCoy's marvellous footwork, and that long left jab with which he bas put so many of his opponents to sleep are two factors in his makeup that must always appeal to lovers oe the fistc art. He used every ar tifce known to the advanced school of pugilism in his contest last night and his defeat must not be atttib uted to any lack of close study on his part Of every trick in the boxing game.
 Many of hls friends feel that he ought to have gone up against game than Sharkey. When Mccoy sent Sharkey twice to the floor In the thi. d round last night no one doubted the kids ability to hit hard, and many thought he had at his mercy. This idea was soon dispeled when the Irish man began to get to his man.
 The third and tenth rounds the most important of the battle--were as follows:
 Round 3-Tom tried to force mat ters and Mct oy at close quarters sent his left to the ear and ducked away from q left swing. Each sent lefts to the head at close quarters with little effect. MeCoy's foot work puzzled Tom, who could not land until Mccoy stopp'd after getting left on the breast. Tom then sent his left to the neck and Mccoy iab- bed q hard left on the nose. This seemed to annoy Tom who was un- used to such quick foot work and Mccoy hit his opponent with an other quick jab on the nose. Twice around the ring Mccoy side stepped and at each step forcing his left iab landing lightly Suddenly the Kid stood rigida nd sent his right to .the. face, repeating the blow within two seconds so hard that Tom fell to the floor. Tom jumped up like a rubber ball and on the. rebound he again
