The engine pulling the mixed train
between Ennis and Fort Worth left
the track and turned over yesterday
morning a short distance west Of
Britton. The engineer and fireman
escaped unhurt, but the head brake
man, who was riding in the cab,
was considerably bruised. No bones
were broken and the brakeman's In
iuries are not considered fatal.
When the train left here yesterday
morning the engine did not have
enough water to run to Fort Worth
aud at Midlothian the tank was dry.
The train was pulled to Britton
and left on q siding while the engine
went to Mansfield TO take water.
The accident was caused by the
trucks Of the tender leaving the
track as the engine was backing to
Britton to couple on to the train.

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic condi-
lions in the cure of consumption is
very mach overdrawn. The poor
patient, and the rich patient, too,
can do much better at home by prop
or attention to food digestion, and
regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning
is made certain by German Syrup,
so is a good nights rest and the
absence of that weakening cough
and facilitating night sweat. Rest
less nights and the exhaustion
due to coughing, the greatest dan
ger and dread of the consumptive,
can be prevented or stopped by
taking German Syrup literally and
regularly. Should you be able to
go to a warmer cline, you will find
that of the thousands OF consump-
tives there, the few who are bene.
flied and regain strength are those
who use German Syrup. Trial box

Welt arsenal by the Government at
the cost of a quarter of a million
dollars, was successfully tested Satur-
day afternoon at the Sandy Hook PROV
ing ground by the ordnance board of
the United States army.
The most sanguine expectations of
the designers of the gun and of the
most expert of the army's ordnance
officers, were surpassed by the actual
performance, the gun acting admir-
ably at all times even when $40
pounds of smokeless powder, the larg-
est quantity ever crammed into a
gun, was stacked up behind the 2, 400
pound projectile, and exploded by an
electric spark.
Three shots were fired from the gun
before the experts were entirely salts
fled with the tests, and now all that
remains to be done to indicate the
complete success of the experiments is
to measure the bore of the gun care
fully to sec whether the tremendous
explosion has caused it to expand
, more than it ought to.

UNHEILTHY PIG.

Whiting, Jan. Is. 1t has developed
that the pork which caused the death
of the Brown family in this town was
not poisoned on account of decay, but
was from a pig which was unhealthy.
Mr.. Brown himself raised the ami
NAL and had unusual trouble in bring
ing it to even fair size. The pig
was always stunted, and with the best
Of food could not be made to grow 1t
was killed when eight months old.
The pork was very lean and unusu-
ally dark, but this fact was apparent
ly overlooked by the Brown family.
Portions of the animals were made up
as head cheese, the last of which was
eaten by DR.. Colby of Sudbury and
which made him seriously i'll.
The funeral of Mr.. Brown, the last
victim of his own fatal mistake, took
place this morning at the Whiting
Congregational church
