Escape of the Train

Little Rock, Ark, January 31.-A spe-
cial to The Gazette from TeXarkana,
Ark, says: There passed through Tex
arkana today eight train loads of negro
soldiers, 1 200 in numebr, composing the
Tenth United States cavalry, en- route
to San Antonio. When they arrived
here several of them were intoxicated.
A number of the colored soldiers kick
ed in a door and entered a resort and
started to run the place at the point of
loaded rifles. Constable James Rochelle
was notified and rushing to the place
he saw them coming from the house
where they had broken UP the furni-
ture.
A chase for the cars resulted and just
as they reached them Rochelle captured
the leader of the gang. AS soon as he
did so 100 rifles were levelled at him
and every negro loaded his gun. Every
car window held a negro with a cooked
rifle and the negro escaped into the car.
The news spread and every officer in
TeXarkana and hundreds of citizens
focked around the soldiers, who SEEM

lating all the circumstances of his mis-
cradle Journey and entreating her not
TO take alarm at his situation, what
ever she might read about him in the
newspapers. This letter, which would
travel by the morning post, could be
preceded by telegram, informing the
old lady that her son was safe, and de-
tanned at Milldale on business Some
hours of anxiety the son could not
spare that beloved mother; and it was
trouble, when five o'clock came and
brought no returning traveller, than to

was an only and an adoring son-at
thirty-two years of age a confirmed
bachelor, loving no one on earth as
we'll as he loved the widowed mother
whose cherished companion he had
been from childhood upward. Had she
not removed her dearly loved goods
and chattels to Elton, and lived in a
small house in the High street all the
time her boy was at school there? Had
she not followed him to Cambridge as
faithfully as a sutler follows a camp?
And now she had one Of the prettiest
houses in South Kensington, and her
son was first curate at the most in
tensely Gothic church in that locality.

of having his pockets searched by a

watering Horses.

The softest water obtainable should
ALWAYS be reserved FOR horses, and none
is generally better for them than sweet
rain water, says a writer IN MARX
Lanes Express. This may be caught
and stored for their use where the
spring water is hard. but care should
be taken to keep the tanks covered, SO
as to prevent the intrusion OF animal
or vegetable matter, which may cause
putrefaction and the development of
poisonous elements. The quantity Oh
water allowed to horses is often lnsul-
ficient. The water required by animals
for nutritive and depurative purposes
is obtained partly from the food, but
principally from the drinking water
Green foods and roots contain good
deal of water-as much maybe as W
per cent-and animals getting these
foods require to drink less, but the
staple foods of the horse. oats and
hay, contain no more than from Ii 10
Is per cent of moisture, and on this
dry food there should, unless under
special and very peculiar circum-
stances, be a free allowance. More
horses have suffered from Indigestion
and collie on account Of an insufficient
supply of water than ever did so from
getting too much That eminent au-
thority on the feeding and management
of working horses, Mr.. Malcolm, who
has charge of the Birmingham corpor-
alton horses, says: "a sufficient sup
ply of pure water is essential for the
maintenance of health, and if fire.
Quently and regularly given, the horse
himself will usually be the best judge
of the quantity he requires" Mr.. NAL
colin advocates constant supply, and
testlties, after many years trial, to the
entire Punishment from his stud of
such complaints as collie, indigestion
or incapacity as the result of it. If
water be deficient, there is not only an
imperfect elimination of effete mat
ter from the system, but the digestion
of the food is interfered with, and i'm
FACTION of the bowels not infrequent.
There are a great many owners and
stablemen who think that horse
ought to be watered after feeding. The
reverse is the case, at least when
grain is fed This idea and a prejudice
against allowing an unlimited quantity
are the chief things that operate
against a constant supply.

Drinking Water for Hogs.

The more hog cholera is Investigate
ed, the more does it appear that the
drinking water has much to do with it.
1T has been found that along streams
that run through a number of farms
the hogs are most subject to the dis
ease if the hogs have been permitted
to drink of the water. With many
similar diseases in humans the water
is the great conveyor of the disease.
The first care of the hog raiser should
therefore be the providing of drinking
water that is actually above suspicion.
This can best be done from driven or
from artesian wells. The surface well
is superior to the running brook, but
it is not above suspicion. The exam
ination of wells in various parts of the
country has shown that most of them
are contaminated. The hog cholera
germs may or may not be in them.
This applies to dug wells that are fed
mostly by surface drainage. The ar
tesian or even the deeply driven wells
ARE frequently fed by subterranean
streams and are found to be free of
bacteria.

found to be very impure when the wa

The wells of most farms are altogether
too near the barnyards, sink spouts and

ample, where the people have never
questioned the purity of their water
supply, yet the best of two wells is not
more than fifty feet from each of two

which is deep one, receives the drain
