Near Alton Today.

John Hatch, white man, aged

local this forenoon from Alton
terribly mangled, having been run
over by the west bound Frisco
passenger about two miles east Of
Alton this morning.
The unfortunate man had lived
with family near Alton, and not
great while ago accompanied the
family to New Mexico, and was
on his way back to Alton, walking
on the track. Being very deaf, he
did not hear the train and was run
down. Both legs were broken just
below the knees and badly man
gled; his right arm was broken
just below the shoulder, and his
head was badly bruised.
Hatch was placed under the care
OF Drs Fortner & Bagby, but the
doctors have done nothing yet.
He has been in semi.conscious
condition, and the doctors are
waiting to see if be will rally, the
chances being largely against him.
Hatch had but two cents in his
pocket.

NEW YEAR FORTUNE TELLING.
Chinese Avail Themselves of a Pro-
pitiOus Time-QuestiOns
Asked.

AT New Years time in Pell and Mott
and Doyer streets, the so-called priests
in the joss houses reap harvest
There is no more propitious week in
the year than this for fortune telling.
The work Of the "priest' is to throw
the kau pui; to read the signs and in
terpret them to the man who seeks
to know the future.
The ceremony may be seen in the
joss houses any night that week, but if
there are sightseers there it is carried
through perfunctorily. All kinds Of
make-believe seem to be accepted and
condoned in Chinatown, if only the
American .'quarter" or "half dollar"
is to be obtained by it. The serious
matter Of fortune telling is taken up
when the last American has taken his
leave.
The priest kneels before the altar
and mutters to the painted gods; in
cense is burning; there is deep silence.
The kneeling man throws two carved
sticks over his shoulder; they look
like bananas cut lengthwise through
the middle. If they fall with the fat
sides up, there is meaning in it,
good or bad; if with the rounded sides
up, an opposite meaning; if with one
round and one fat side up, it is an
Indifferent sign. Three times the kau
pui are thrown. Then the sign is in
terpreted.
The applicants ask such questions
as these: "Nill my laundry pay me
as much this year as last? Shall win
in the next lottery? Shall my next
gambling venture be profitable? Is
my son to live? Had better sell out
my present business?" If the fortune
is told seriously, the advice is usually
followed seriously; the people are
very superstitious. and always at New
Years they seek to know the future
