A Well known Character Of Pueblo, In

William Smith, alias "Cherokee

coat from DR.. Dow, is a somewhat
celebrated character in Pueblo
county and has an uuenviable rep
utation for "ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain," all same
"Heathcn Chinee." The last issue
OF the Pueblo Mail contains the
following article detailing some OF
his escapades in that county;
"The La Junta TRIBUNE informs

ENGINE DERAILED.
Bold Attempt to Wreck an l. e..
Passenger Train.

An attempt was made to wreck
the outgoing Illinois Central pas
senger train at Green's crossing,
about Sis a. m. Tuesday. A steel
rail had been placed upon the
track, well braCed, and when the
engine hit the obstruction it was
partially derailed, the front trucks
leaving the track. Barring slight
shake-up among the passengers no
one was hurt. AS soon as the
.Gracey agent learned the facts the
matter was reported at Princeton
and an engine Was sent up and
took the train OnrtBe balance of the
run. The wrecked engine was
taken to Gracey and later to the
company's shops f6T repairs. Traf-
6c was delayed about six hours.
AS soon as the attempted wreck.
was reported suspicion rested upon
a passenger, who bad been put off
the train at Greene the night be-.
fore, and the marshal of Gracey
was notified He came up on the
train due here at $50 a. m, and on
reaching Green's, arrested Prince
Gary, COL, who got aboard the
train at that point The negro was
taken into custody on suspicion of
having committed the crime. He
was brought here at once and
lodged in Jail.

before Judge Canister Wednesday
and, in default of a 81, 900 bond,
was remanded to Jail to await the

Several members of the Legisla-
ture went up to the arsenal yester-
day afternoon and asked to be adj
mitted. The man who came to the
door peeped out through a crack in
the door and refused to admit them.
The Legislators say they saw men
at work in the arsenal, but could
not tell what they were doing.
There is no dubt that fully thirty
soldiers are here in citizens clothes
under Lieut.. Ward. Three of them
are attending the A. and M. College
at Lexington, where they joined
the Second regiment. They left
school when drafted for this service,
and to-day they told severalfriends
that they were ordered here and
were being paid S1.5O a day. One
of them, of Owensboro, said he
understood that about thirty more
were expected and that they would
get off the train or the other side
of the tunnel, which is behind the

Six Years.

Frankfort, Ry., Jan. 1.-THE
election of the Hon. ]. c. S. Black
burn to the United States Senate
was confirmed yesterday by the
General Assembly in joint session.
A vote was not taken, the law
only requiring that the journals of
the two houses showing how the

pared, and directing that the can
didate who had received a majority
of the votes cast in each house
should be declared duly elected.
At noon the Senate and House ex-
changed notifications of their read
mess to go into joint. session. The
only absentees were Senators Hill,
Alexander, Hays and Jones and
Representatives Lafferty and Will
liam Ray. Messrs. Hill, Lafferty
and Ray were ill, and Senator Jones
was forced to absent himself on ac-
count of other business. Senators
Hays and Alexander absented
because they did not
want to vote either for Blackburn
or Bradley.
II was showd by comparison Of
the journals of the two houses that
Mr.. Blackburn had received a ma
jority of the votes in each house,
the total being 70 for Blackburn
and 81 for Bradley.
There was some applause from
the galleries, but the Democrats
are saving all demonstrations until
after the election next Wednesday,
when Senator Blackburn will make
a speech OF acceptance, and when
w, 7. Bryan will also speak before
the joint assembly.

A Romance of .he peerare.

The death of Lord Dunboyne recalls one of the romaIces of the peerage. The twelfth Lord Dunboyne was Ro= man Catholic bishop of Cork, when the peerage unexpectedly deyolved upon him through the death of nephew. Wishing to perpetuate the family and the title. he applied to Pope Plus Vi. for dispensation to retire from the episcopate and to marry. The reply he got from the vatican was couched in the severest terms Of censure. He thereupon broke his VOW of ceIibacy and married a Protestant young lady, afterwards publicly seeding from the Roman Catholic church. There was, however, no issue to the marriage, and shortly before his death, he was re- ceiyed bact into the Roman Catholic church by the Rev. pr. Gahan. The widow of the ex bishop survived him for sixty years, dying in August, 1860, at the great age of 96.

4 curious accident took place at Brookfeld, Ind. A local freight train was backed into a siding to allow a fast freight train to pass. The switch was left open. however, and the fast freight, travelling at the rate of thirty miles an hour. dashed into it. The crews of both trains jumped.

On the fast freight 8 car loaded with hogs was telescoped by one load ed with shelled corn, and the animals not killed in the collision were smoth- cred by the corn. It is said that the locomotives are so interloeked that dynamite will he required to separate them.

They ra1k by whistline.

Gomera, one of the Canary islands, is a small island containing about 12,000 inhabitants. It is exceedingly rugged in formation, and the deep gorges and ravines which separate it's mountain ranges are unbridged, and, therefore, it may be necessary to travel several miles in order to reach a point only a few hundred yards distant. There fore, to obYiate the necessity of doing this, the inhabitants have developed a whistling language, by means of which tive men standing on opposite sides of the gorge can convey their meaning to each other. The teeth and fingers are used as well as the lips. Commqnica- tions are made by notes in the whistle corresponding to syllables. The whis- tie, of course, carries much farther and is much more distinct, than artie- ulate speech could possibly be under the circumstances.-Stray Stories.

Policemen and ss.ee.acles

New York Evening Post: An nn- usual application has been made to the police board by Patrolman George ". Rogers Of the Gates avenue station. Brooklyn, who wants to wear eye glasses. The lids of the policeman's eyes are infiamed, and the strong wind affects lis eyes greatly. This is a new t.,lszt .ea f5r the board to decide. Some sesgs 3tains and other officers use s4 .s en desk duty, but no pa- trolmaa has ever worn them on patrol duty. Il is hardly thought that if the policeman got into fight he might be dangerously hurt by his glasses being broken. Rogers has been a policeman twelve years. The board has referred his case to the police surgeons. who will examine Rogers and report his condition to the board.

 An Historic Bell.

Chester (Pa.1 Special Philadelphia Inquirer: John Wetherill has found and will have placed in tower on the Oak Grove schoolhouse bell with a luminous record. It is said by the his- torian that when the people of Chester heard that the Declaration of lnde- pendenee had been signed they ran to the courthouse, where this bell then hung, and rang it most of the day, much to the discontinue of the many tories. The old bell was cast in 1729. III 1850, when the county seat was moved to Media, the borough of Chester purchased the buildings and the bell was removed to the old school house. In 1885 new building was erected, and the bell was placed in the loft Of the new building and forgotten. There is now a movement on to have 3 great ceremony over the moving.

Electric Ticket Selling Machine.

There is at present under construc- ton in the workshop of George Kirke- gaard an electric machine which will be used on the elevated stations for selling tickets. The machine referred to is to be constructed in such a way that when you drop your nickel in the slot you will receive a ticket in ex- change. There will be four of these on each of the larger stations. The reason why this system has been adopted by the railroad trustees is to do away with the expense of having sn agent on each station.

Until year ago such thing as an electric ear was unknown in Spain. The cars in few principal towns that could boast of Having tramways of any kind were drawn through the streets at jog-trot pace by horses. or, more frequently, mules. Within the last few months. however. foreign enterprise has been the means of inaugurating electric traction in the streets Of Ma drid. Barcelona, Valencia. Bilbao, and San Sebastian, and the lead thus taken by the principal tramway companies in the chief cities Of Spain is likely to be quickly followed by others.
