His Case an Exception.

The great lawyer was trying great
murder case. The defendants nearest
friend, man Of much practical sense,
though little book learning, sat behind
the eminent attorney. The work Of Sc
curing the jury was In progress, and
the state had accepted and rendered to
the defense certain gray haired man.
The defendants friend leaned over
to the lawyer and whispered:
"Take that man, quick!'
The lawyer turned around with q
grave and solemn air and said to his
adviser In pompous manner:
"You should be more careful in CIV
ing me advice This is q grave mat
ter. Now, I don't think that man will
do. He is old. He has one foot in
tie grave. He is about to be called
into the presence Of his Maker, and he
knows it. When men reach that age,
they are apt to be exceedingly strict
and are apt to make q stern judgment
between the people Of the state and
the prisoner at the bar. They hold life
something most precious. Do you ever
think of these things?"
NO." said the practical individual,
"but that man in the box Is the uncle
OF the defendant"
ooh" exclaimed the lawyer.
The man was accepted at once. The
jury returned q verdict Of not guilty

An old Timer.

A crowd of young men were seated
in one of the steamboat Offices in the
city the other afternoon while an old
steamboat veteran regaled them with
stories about old times on the Mis-
sissippi and "reminiscences Of the old
time citizens.
"Did you know old Bill Jones?" ask
ed one Of the men, after the captain
had finished relating how he ran
gauntlet Of Indians with his boat way
back in the forties.
Member Bill Jones? Well,
guess I did, replied the captain.
"Let's see, he died just after the war.
He was good old fellow too. [ knew
his father before he was married to
Bills mother
One of the boys thought the old
man was doping, and by way of
tripping him up on his dates asked,
"Cap, how long have you been run
ming on the river?'

Mississippi when it was nuthin but a

At the lovn things she's said,
While your poor old heart will only ache and ache
But she knows what ails you then,
And she kisses you again,
While you hear her gently whisper, sweet and low

A Diving Bell Crushed.

A crushed mass of iron in Pitts.
burg scrapyard demonstrates the tre-
mendous pressure Of water at great
depth.
1t was constructed for diving bell
for use in Lake Michigan. AS original
ly constructed 1t was about feet
square, and tapcred slightly at both
ends. The material was phospor
bronze, more than half an inch thick.
Each plate was cast with f1ange,
and they were bolted together, the
bolts being placed as closely as was
consistent with strength. The side
plates were further strengthened by
iron ribs an inch thick and two inches
wide.
In fact, the entire structure was
strongly braccd. The windows to be
used as outlooks by the divers were
three inches square, fortified with
iron bars and set with glass plates an
inch thick. The weight Of the bell was
$4,000 pounds.
When completed, it was sent to Mill
waukee and towed out into the lake
about IL miles, where there were over
200 feet Of water, and was sent down
for test The manufacturer was 80
confident Of the strength OF the bell
that he wanted to 60 down In it.
He Is glad now that he didn't. When
the bell reached the depth Of about
100 feet, strong timbers attached to 1t
came to the surface in splintered
condition.
Suspecting an accident, the bell was
hauled uD and found to be crushed
into shapelcss mass. The incll thick
plate glass bullseyes were shattered.
The pressure that crushed this SEEM
ingly invulnerable structure amounted
to a. total of 2,723,54S pounds, or 1892
tons.-pittsburg Chronicle.

Fitz Lee an Indian Fighter.

Ithas often been noticed that when
ever Gen. Fitzhugh Lee visits the
White House he stops to have chat
with Capt. Loefller, who stands guard
at the presidents private office and
the cabinet room. This is generally at
tributed to Lee s pleasant way Of
treating everyone, but it has another
origin.
Before the civil war Lee was lieu
tenantin the old Second cavalry, after
ward reorganized as the Fifth. Loef-
Ter was trooper in this regiment and
later non-commissioned officer. His
company was one of the two which
were engaged in sharp fight with
the Kiowa and Comanche Indians in
the Cimarron country in Texas in 1859.
The Indians had taken refuge in a
narrow canon, which could be entered
only from one end, and there had
thrown up fortification of logs, from
behind which they poured hot FIRE
into the troops. The character of the
canon was such that the horses of the
cavalry we're useless, and they were
left outside, the men advancing on
foot. Only a few Of the Indians had
firearms, the rest using bows and
arrows. Had the Indians been as
we'll armed as they have been in later
wars, the loss of the whites would have
been very large, as it was, only four or
five soldiers were killed, though the
Indian loss amounted to nearly fifty.
A charge was made upon the log
fort, and Lee, who was a dashing
officer and wonderful favorite with
his men, was the first one to scale the
brestwork The arrows were whizziDg
all about him, and one struck him in
the breast, inAicting a very ugly
wound. AS be fell, the confusion was
so great about him that the arrow was
pulled out of his flesh and thrown to
the ground among the other arrows,
whole and broken, so that no one
could tell afterwards whether the head
had remained in the wound or had
been drawn out with the stick. It
was impossible, therefore, to say how
seriously he had been hurt, and he
was carried at once to the rear, where
litter was improvised Of saplings and
boughs. He was laid upon this,
which was swung between two horses:
and thus he was carried back to the
wagon train, distance Of more than
$50 miles, through rough country.
Probing showed that the head Of the
arrow had fortunately been drawn out,
and in due time good nursing put the
lieutenant on his feet again.
This is an incident in Lee career
which is apparently known to very
few. 1t is of interest, also, that the
old Second cavalry had for it's colonel
Albert Sidney johnson, and for it's
lieutenant colonel Robert E. Lee, and
that Hardee, Of tactics fame, and
George II. Thomas we're two of its
majors. The captain of the company
in which Fitzhugh Lee was first lieu
tenant was Kirby Smith. Loefflor
served with credit in the Union
army through the civil war, received
his White House detail from Presi-
dent Grant, aud was appointed "mil-
itary storekeeper" in the regular army,
with the rank Of captain, by President
McKinley.-Denrer Post.

Through a misconstruction of orders
collision occurred between a work train
and a freight train at Nicols, station
above Mendoza, on the Western division
of the Omaha road, shortly before 7
o'clock last evening. The engine of the
freight train and three cars were badly
damaged, while Fireman Frank Conway,
was painfully hurt by jumping from the
engine cab. No one else of the two crews
was injured, although the escape of Engi-
neer Neil, of the freight rain WAS a.
most miraculous, as n stood With his
kEnu on the lever, awaiting the crash, but
escs ped from the wrecked CAB without be-
in. hurt.
Fireman Conway was brought to this
city on an engine hurriedly sent to the
scene of the wreck and taken to the city
hospital. His chief injury is bad scalp
wound, five inches long, on the left side
of his head. In jumping he struck his
head on a stone beside the track. The
railroad officials had not last evening sue
ceeded in placing the responsibility for
the accident. 1t is said that the freight
train, No. %, known as a time freight,
evidently had a clearance or was run
ming on such orders, with the idea that
the track ahead was unobstructed. The
work train at Nicols, however, was on the
main track, and when the freight rounded
a curve above the station it was at once
realized that a collision was inevitable.
Engineer Neil reversed the lever and set
the air brakes. AS soon as this was accom-
plished Fireman Conway jumped from the
cab The train was going a a fast rate
l.
heavily to the ground. He alighted on his
feet, but was hurled headforemost against
large rock near the track. Engineer Neil
stuck to the engine. When the crash
came the caboose on the work train was
badly damaged, and three cars of the
freight train left the track partially
wrecked. The cars were loaded with
wheat, and the contents were scattered
over the roadway. The freight engine was
| considerably damaged, but beyond
severe shaking up Engineer Neil escaped
| unhurt
Fireman Conway was found lying be-
side the track unconscious, with blood
flowing from the cut in his head He was
placed on a stretcher and carried to the
station. Shortly after the collision the
regular east-bound passenger train from
Omaha came along. This train is due at
the depot at 5:55. Immediately after the
accident fagman was sent back to warn
the passenger engineer Z The passenger
train succeeded, after a short delay, in
getting by the wreck a side track, and
arrived but short time behind scheduled
time.
A wrecking crew was sent to the scene
Of the accident upon receipt of the news
of the collision at the local Omaha gen
eral offices, but up to midnight the main
track had not been cleared, although
trains both ways got through on the side
track. Fireman Conway lives at Kukuas,
Wis.
