A Remarkable Accident.

TEL Paso Texas Cor. Denver News.l
Lightning capering up and down
over the cleaning blade of a mat
ador's sword. This sensational spec
tacle was witnessed this after
noon in the Juarez bull ring during
the regular Sunday afternoon fight,
Shortly after the fight began a
fierce electrical storm came up.
Eight thousand spectators. mostly
all Americans, had paid entrance fee
and the management declined to al
low the storm to interfere.
Several times lightning seemed to
strike almost within the ring, and at
the climax, just az the matador, Ell
Bravo, was delivering the final stroke
in dispatching a ferocious bull, blue
and white blaze danced over his
sword, visibly stunning him.
Many women screamed and panic
was narrowly averted.

ger train is an illustration. The
man, as far as | could learn, had not
even mentioned the matter to the
officials of the road, or to any one
except his own train crew, and to
the occurrence. 1t came out, however
and he was substantially rewarded
and given a better place on the road.
1T happened that freight train
was switching on a siding up in the
clouds on a single track section of
one of the railrods. A passenger
train was coming up the mountain,
and although not in sight was due
within twenty or thirty minutes.
Suddenly one of the loaded freight
cars broke from the train and start
ed to roll slowly down the track in
the direction from which the passen-
ger was coming. This brakeman
ran into the car and clambered to
the top to set the brakes. He turn
ed the wheel at one end but it swung
loosely in his hands, indicating that
the chain was broken, and the brake
useless. By this time the car had
rolled several hundred feet and was
gathering momentum with every
pass ing second.
The brakeman never hesitated,
but climbed down the ladder and I'M
der the end of the car to the trucks.
Here he deity fastened the chain to
the rod and climbed once more to the
top of the car. He set the brakes,
stopped the runaway and start
ed on a run down the track, pulling
off his working coat as he ran.
With this he tagged the passenger
train less than a quarter of a
mile from the place where he had
succeeded in stopping the freight
car. The crew and passengers Of
the train never learned until later
how near they had been to a
serious wreck, as | am told the
exclamation to the en-
gineer of the passenger was; There
is one of our cars up the track and
you'd better wait until our engine
comes down and picks it up. "

A Pretty Stiff Breeze.

The wind came around the street
corner so strong that it twisted the
la re hydrant right off the water
main. 1t left a hole in the main
about as large as the bottom
of bucket. The wind was sufficient
to not only hold the water in the
pipes, but it actually forced it back
and out at the top of the stand
pipe.
A separator standing on East
street suddenly fell to pieces. Inves-
tigation showed that the wind had
unscrewed every nut on the entire
machine. Ten teeth were blown
from the cylinder. a,
A granite shaft six feet tall and
eighteen inches thick was worn fully
two thirds in two by the wind fore
ing a steady stream of dust across it
all day under high pressure.
DR.. Henshall attempted to draw a
bucket of water from his eighty-foot
well. The bucket went down about
so feet and stopped. Investigation
showed that that was all there was
left of the well. The wind had ac-
tually pulled the well in two, and up
to the hour of going to press the
bottom part had not been found.

President Roosevelt, after consulting
| with Senators German, Spooner, and
Lodge and the members of his cabinet,
has notified Santn Domingo of his assent
on behalf of the United States to the ar
rangement proposed by President Nor
a'es as the only practicable means of SO
preserving existing conditions in that dis
traught Republic as to make possible the
execution of the provisions of the pend
ing treaty in the event thai
the treaty is ratified by Il e
Senate next autumn. The proposition of
Santo Domingo was that President Roose
welt assent to the appointment of Ameri-
can citizens to take charge Of the Domin-
lean customs house, collect the revenues
and pay to the Dominican government IS
per cent of the gross receipts, the remain
ing IS per cent, less the cost of collection,
be deposited in some New York bank to
await the action Of the Senate.
In submitting the foregoing proposition
President Morales pointed out that for
eign powers were unwilling to await the
action of the United States Senate in the
absence of some arrangement which in
sures the constinuance Of existing condl-
tions and the Dominican Presidents
assertion has been promptly verified by
the Italian Ambassador who yesterday
called at the State Department to learn
officially if the reported assent of Presi-
dent Roosevelt was correct and who then
stated that in the absence of such assent
his country would have felt compelled to
use force in Santo Domingo to protect
the rights of its citizens. While much
has appeared n the Public prints regard
ing the liability of this country's having
to use force to maintain the Morales ad
ministraticn, there is really little likeli-
hood of such an emergency. All foreign
powers have cheerfully agreed to the
temporary arrangement accepted by
President Roosevelt, and in the absence
of interference from without Pr sidcrt
Morales will doubtless lie able to maintain
order in his own country.
The President has called for the resi- :
nations of all the members Of the Panama
Canal Commission and will soon issue .
statement of the lines along which reor
ganization will be affected. The President
will soon announce the personnel Of the

posed of men who have been following
him for nine years. They are with
him Notwithstanding his two defeats:
on the silver question. They accept
his views on the tariff, and they would
be glad to see his recommendations as
to the railroads adopted. The section
of the country is agricultural, and
contests there have been waged on the
proposition that very few men, liv-
ing or making business headquarters
in the East have gathered into their
hands the reins Of public affairs and
been driving for their own beneht.
"Back to the people" as Mr.. Bryan
employs the adjuration, is calculated
to arrest The attention Of q good many
people and start them afresh on courses
of experiment. 1t suggests para
phrase of confession in the Book OF
Common Prayer. Mr.. Bryan tells US
that we have erred and strayed from
the true way, like lost sheep. We
must retrace our steps or We are lost.
We must dispose Of self-appo'nteo
masters and take affairs into our own
hands.
This sounds we'll, and there is oas'
is for the complaint. Undoubtedly IN
some things the few have been profit
ing at the expense of the many. Inc
tariff needs revision and the railroads
need a curb. Those two propositions
are new so plain that party lines can
not he drawn on them. Democrats
and Republicans are api aching per-
iod of warm debate and new party
alienments. But in this very fact Is
danger. Unless We are careful the
rhetoricians will carry Us too far ana
