Weepnot for her, dear friends of mine,
Dear ones whom she has left behind.
Our Father has called, in his love,
The dear one to his throne above.

A serious collision was narrowly
averted on western railroad during
therecent blizzard of snow thatswept
the Northwest A freight train was
on a siding to give the right of way
to an express, but it was found that
the train was too long for the siding,
so brakeman was sent back with a
red lantern to stop the express. The
express was late and was coming
down the track at 60 miles an hour,
and the engineer did not see the light
on account OF the binding snow drift
ed and frozen against the cab win
dows. The brakeman realized when
the brakes were not applied that the
signal was not seen, SO with quick
aim he threw his lighted lantern into
the cab OF the engine in spite of the
great speed. The engineer heard the
crash and looking down saw the
broken red glass. He applied all
brakes Immediately and brought his
train to rest within twenty feet OF the
freight train.

ScaIded to Death.

The N. O. Picayune of Sunday, Feb.
10th, gives the following account OF
the sad and tragic death of a well
known Red river steamboatman:
Ernest j. Carter, well known
steamboatman, met terrible fate
yesterday morning, being literally
scalded to death by steam and hot
water on board of the steamboat
Red River, lying at the head of Julia
street. The accident occurred at 4:30
O'Clock yesterday morning, and the
unfortunate man died at the hospital
at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Carter was one of the three Car
ter brothers constituting the CaI ter
Packet Company, which owns and
operates the steamboats, Red River
and II. NJ. Carter, plying in the Red
River trade. He was engineer on the
Red River, which was lying beside the
II. NJ. Carter. Yesterday morning it
was discovered that the boiler of the
H. NJ. Carter needed repairs, SO Mr..
Carter was assisting the engineer OF
that boat in his work. They thought
the water in the boiler had cooled SUI
ficiently to permit them to work.
They started to remove afaulty man.
head, when there was a rush of steam
and boiling water which enveloped
Mr.. Carter completely. He was ter
ribly scalded, not only on hisfaee and
hands, but his body also. He was
taken to the hospital in the ambu-
lance, and there he fingered in ter
rible agony until last afternoon, when
death relieved him.
The body was embalmed and pre-
pared for burial and to-day will be
taken to his home at Poland, La,
just below Alexandria, on the steam
boat Red River.

woman as secretary to the French
Consulate at New York. She has
