Peru Ind, Jan. 10. As the result of
a strange hailucination, j. e. Sible,
an old and trusted engineer of the
Wabash railroad, was fatally injured
last night
Sible was at the throttle of tine big
locomotive of the Limited, which was
laundering along ut a rate OF 40 miles
an hour; and when the lights of the
town of Attica appeared, the engineer
gave start and shouted to Burt Prick,
his fireman: Jump for your life, Burt.
Theiswitch is turned "
The sentence waa not finished, Cor in
an instant Sible had applied the safety
brake, reversed tho lever and jumped
to escape the spectre his harassed
nerves had conjured up. The fireman
followed, but was not injured. The
train came to a stop. and Frick went
back to find the engineer The latter
lay on the r. ADDED, horribly injured.
His skull had been crushed, an arm
and a leg broken, his ribs fractured
and his spine injured He was carried
aboard the train. Meanwhile, an in
yestigation showed that there had been
no danger to the train. The signal
lights of the switch showed an un-
INSTRUCTED path. Sible was brought to
a hospital here, where he managed to
gasp out his story.
According to Fireman Frick, Sible
has been nervous since he was in q
wreck at Lafayette, some months ago.
The passengers were shaken up by
the sudden stopping OF the train, but
none of them was injured.

BLOWN UP OR FOUNDERED.

Belief That British Transport Has Been
Intercepted by a soer spy.
New Orleans, La, Jan. 10. 1t ia be-
lieved in shipping circles here that a
British trans ort, laden with american
mules hound for South Africa, has
been intercepted and blown up by Il
Boer spy 10 the Gulf OF Mexico, or has
foundered. schooner arriving ON the
lower coast repurts hundreds of dead
mules floating for distance of 50 miles.
This news has greatly stirred shippers
here, who fear that further desperate
attempts will be made to stop the eX-
port of mules to Cape Town. The more
conservative elements attribute tine
floating carcasses to a d iaastar to one
OF the British vessels during the storms
that have rbeen raging near the coast
this week.
Dispatches from Quintana, Texas,
which is a short distance south of Port
Eads, say that the schooner Olga has
put in to Matagorda Bay for shelter
from the fierce gale blowing on the
gulf, and that Capt. George Peterson
reports having seen long rows Of dead
cattle and mules float ng il the water.
lie describes tho range OF the dead
stock as covering at least 40 miles.
Matthew Warmer of the Elder
Dempster Steamship Co., which has
furnished many Of the British trans
ports, state3 that all the transports
have been accounted for except ona
sailing from here three days ago.
The recent attempt to blow up ths
British transport Mechanioian in this
port is recalled by those persons who
incline to the opinion that British
transport has been blown up. Tho
attempt to destroy the Mechanician
was charged to Boer agents.
