Pittsburg, Pa, July 3.-As a result
of the street car collision last night on
the road of the Monongahela Traction
company, two people are dead, five Sc
riously injured and ten others more or
less hurt. The dead are o. S. Opsion,
w. II. Kirkland, motorman. Seriously

Armstrong, right leg broken; Mrs.
Shidler, badly bruised.
Ten others whose names could not
be learned We're more or less hurt. The
accident happened on a steep grade
near High bridge. The two cars in
collision were heavily loaded with pas
sengers returning home from Kenny
wood park,
Motorman Griffith stopped his car
near the bottom of the hill to get a
drink of water ut n spring near by.
He had hardly left his car when the
electric current, for some reason us yet
unexplained, was shut Off leaving the
car in darkness. Motorman Kirkland,
with his car, followed shortly after,
and as the foremost car was in dark
ness it could not be seen until too late
TO check the speed. The rear car
crashed into the other with terrific
force, almost telescoplng it. Mr.. OPP
sion was standing on the rear plat
form of the first car and received the
full force of the impact. Both his legs
We're cut off and his skull was crushed.
He lived but Il short time Kirkland
was badly mangled, his head and body
being crushed. He lived about an
hour. Many ladies and children were
among the passengers and their cries
and shrleks We're appalling. Nearly ev-
crybody on the two cars received some
kind of an injury, but those mentioned
are believed to be all who are hurt Sc
rlously.

Waco, Texas, July 1.-The Brazos
river reached point at G o'clock yes
terday morning just two inches be-
low the high water mark of 1855, the
highest ever known. The river began
falling about Z o'clock and had fallen
three feet in twelve hours. 1t is go
ing down faster Mt 10 o'clock The
rain ceased at . o'clock yesterday
morning, having fallen necessarily
save two or three intermissions of q
few minutes each, just forty-eight
hours. The damage to crops will be
slight, but the damage to improve
provements is heavy. Fences have
been blown down and washed away.
The destruction of county bridges is
quite extensive and the loss will be
something like $4,000. Several bridges
In the city were destroyed and much
damage has been done TO the streets.
The loss from the floods in the city
will reach perhaps $4,000 or $4,000.
The damage to private property can
not be estimated, but it will go up
into six figures in county and city. The
damage to merchandise in East Waco
will not reach over $4,000, the mer
chants having put most of their goods
up above the water.
The railroads do not pretend to run
their trains on time and the Houston
and Texas Central has not run train
out since Wednesday. Washouts are
reported at Reagan on the Waco
branch and the train which went down
Wednesday has not yet returned. The
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass lost
about 200 yards of its track on Castle
man creek twelve miles south. The
Cotton Belt is running trains over the
Katy to Hillsboro, taking their track
there. The Katy can only run as far
south as Elgin. The Texas Central is
unobstructed and is making very good
time.

Philadelphia, July "a local paper
will today print a story to the effect
that a mutiny developed on the cruiser
Panther, now at League island navy
yard, while on her way from San Juan,
Porto Rico, to this port, and that it
was necessary to place twentyfour
men in irons.
According to the story while the
Panther was Mt San Juan in command
of Captain Joe Rector, the greater por-
ton of her crew rebelled against the
food and asked to be transferred else
where. Several assertions occurred
and the departure of the cruiser, it is
said. was FASTENED for fear that she
would be so seriously crippled from
this cause that she, when her time
came, would be unable to leave.
On the voyage home 1t became nee.
essary to place number of the crew
in confinement although there was no
open or violent Sreach of discipline
manifested. 1t is stated that the in
subordlnaton has been reported to the
navy department at Washington, but
no information regarding the affair
could be CLEANED yesterday from navy

Paris Texas. July 3.-Within the
past week a peculiar plague has APP
peared among cattle in this county
west of Paris, many dying. They be-
gin to droop suddenly, run bloody wa
ter at the nostrils and die within a
day or two. From consulting veterl-
nary journals, the farmers say the dis
ease is believed to be what is described
as Charlton, and is said to be due to a
peculiar condition of moisture arising
from the ground which affects them
while grazing.

wise she might be imposed upon. No
amount of "book learning" can really
teach her about practical marketing.
Although she may have studied all
about the cuts of meat in her volume
OF Mrs. Dash's cook book, still there
is nothing like having watched the
cutting done. One very young house
keeper, to avoid the imposition that
she feels awaits the unknowing at
every turn, put all her knowledge to
account at her first market call. She
did know n porterhouse steak by
sight, and, therefore, she looked till
she found one. Glow much is Thu

she said: Now you may give me a
very good leg of beef, for roasting. -

The muslin garden hats may be
made at home easily; in fact, over
half the smart women have them made
by their maids mt home, as they cost
high at the shops. Some of them are
all muslin, while others have rough
straw crown and pissed muslin or
lawn brim. Any old hat crown may
be used for this purpose if 1t is not
faded or stained.
OF course, if the crown is of straw
the hat cannot be Numbered and for
this kind cheap, stuff muslin, almost
like. tarlatan, is employed. 1t Is
pissed and set about the crown in
three or four full brims. 1t stands
straight out with its own stiffness,
and tho hat is finished by n bow of
tho muslin standing erect in front.
The wash hats are made of much finer
muslin, and have the brims buttoned
on or hooked TO the muslin crown, so
that they may be removed TO be
washed. They are starched stiff, in
deed, and make the coolest looking
hats. They resemble somewhat the
hats Of small children, but that is no
disadvantage, as they are almost in
yarlably becoming.

As an inducement to start the bees
Mt work in the sections, few empty
combs should be saved at the close of
the honey season. Unfinished sections
arc just the thing for this. The
honey can be extracted and the sec
tions put out for the bees to clean
up, so as to leave no honey iii them
to granulate. At the beginning Of
the honey flow they can then be
placed in the middle of super as
bait. When honey begins to come in
the bees will take it up into the bait
combs quite readily and when once
started in the super they will spread
out very rapidly. AS the bees begin
to cap the sides of the sections, and if
the honey flow is promising, lift of
the first super, bees and all, and
place on the brood nest an empty
super, putting the full one on top.
BY this method we can get two, three
and sometimes four supers of honey
from single colony. Last year |
had n few colonies that filled four
supers apiece, twenty eight one pound
sections to a super. Correspondence

The Selection of tho Herd.

The manager of the herd should be
Il fine Judge of the class of cattle to be
selected, for upon the selection and
purchase of the COWS will depend the
future profit of the business, admit
ting that all other departments of the
industry aye properly managed. Just
here comes in another question of
taste which must be decided upon by
the dairynan. Oftentimes COWS are
bought fer the dairy with a view not
only for the extra flow of milk to be
obtained, but also the profit which
may be realized from their sale to the
butcher after the day of good milking
OF the animal is passed. Acting upon
that idea, cows OF good milking breed,
having large frames, easily kept in or
der, and which VIII rapidly take on
flesh when not milking, are the ones
to be selected. Their calves arc larger
and worth more for veal. In this way
the dairying and beef business may
to certain extent be probably COM
bined. On the other hand many dairy
men prefer cows for dairying purposes
alone. There are several pure bceeds
Of this type, and many graded up by
crossing registered stock on common
cattle The latter are more generally
used in our section of the country,
from the fnct that the investment for
start is less, and the profit on their
product, rs proportionatelv satisfac-
tory. Again, there are breeds Of cat
tie noted for their superior flow of
milk, while others produce smaller
quantity, but richer cream. The lat
ter are the butter and cheese makers.
The dairyman who intends to supply
his customers direct with the mill,
from his dairy, is only Interested in
that breed of cattle from which he
can obtain the largest number of gal
Ions of milk daily, while the man who
Is interested in the sale Of the cream,
butter or cheese as aproduct from his
dairy, must select breed showing
superior merit in that line.
Some cows are more active in their
habits, doing well on pasturage, while
others give better returns from close
confinement aud high feeding. Some
breeds give large flow Of milk for
only a short season, others produce
an even steady flow of milk during
long period of time. SO that we find
quite a variety of distinct characteris-
tics among the various breeds of the
animals which go to make mp the dairy
herd. ATLANTA journal.

Treatment For BIaolIer in Cattle.

Blackleg is an infectious disease
and usually attacks the cattle from
six months to two years Of age. Pro-
fessor Biting, of the Indiana Expert
ment Station, says that medicinal
treatment is not u success. A few
animals will recover under good care,
but there is no particular line that
can be followed with fair degree of
success. Tincture of muriate OF iron
may be given in doses of one table
spoonful for each 1000 pounds of live
weight every four hours. In the in
terval n similar dose of chlorate of
potash may be administered. The bet
ter method is to use preventive means
which consist of vaccination. People
using pasture where blackleg is
known to exist can vaccinate their
stock early in the season and be sure
that there will be little or no loss.
This method of prevention has been
so thoroughly tried that it is no
longer an experiment. Last year n
large number of cases Of blackleg
were reported in Indiana and it is not
likely that the disease will occur
again.
