There has been an unusually
heavy traffic across the river this
morning in both directions. Part
of this is accounted for by a large
number of tourists from northern
states.
There is so much sickness among
young children, that there has
hardly any household escaped. 1t
seems to be an epidemic of coughs,
whether hopping, bronchial or
otherwise.
Conductor Ed. Burke informs
us that he brought in 200 passen-
gers last night. He says this IS
the largest lot that has ever come
to Brownsville in one day outside
of regular excursions. We thought
someone said people never came to
Brownsville to look at our
country.
At last the matter of changing
the schedule of the St. L. B. & NJ.

in a position to state authoritatively
that the change will take place
next Sunday. The time cards are
now in the hands of the printers
and the hours will be announced
the latter part of this week. The
Sunday train is assured and the
change heretofore mentioned on
the Harrington branch will also
take place. We understand that
the hours of arriral and departure
may be somewhat different from
those announced by Us heretofore,
but otherwise we were in the
main correct.
The Matamoros market has been
overstocked with oranges coming
in regularly every night from
interior points of Mexico. As a
consequence they are selling as low
as two and three cents Mexican
coin. Large quantities of them are
brought over, but after the payment |
of duties and middlemen profits,
the price is finally raised to from 4 |
to cents at Brownsville. The
fact that these oranges have been
prematurely picked from the trees,
it being the nature of the orange
not to ripen fully until the latter
part of December or early January,
gives them very ugly appearance,
but all the same they arefound
surprisingly sweet to the taste,
showing that the full-ripened fruit
will be of unusual excellency.
Two or three shots were distinctly
heard last night at about 10 O clock.
In town they sounded as if at the

they were fired by the Mexican

Smoking on Street Cars.
To the Editor of The Star,

To the Editor OF The Star.
When an assertion is uncontradioted It
Is assumed that silence gives consent but
the assumption is often incorrect Some
one writes a letter about smoking on street
cars. assuming that smoking is universally
objectionable to every one who does not
smoke, and The Star proposes that smokers
shall walk. The platform of the cars are
not crowded by smokers only: about half
of the men who ride on platforms are not
smoking. and IL they would go inside the
platforms would be less crowded. Obser-
walton leads me to believe that few ladies
object to tobacco smoke. I cannot remem-
cars and seldom elsewhere, while II like
the smell Of a cigar" didn't notice 1t"
and similar remarks are not uncommon.
The rear seats III open cars are often filled
with ladies at starting points, while for
ward seats are vacant and they often
seem utterly oblivious to smokers In one
or two seats ahead. The fact is smoking
is almost universal; while there are many
men who are never seen smoking In the
are no men smokers, and women are also
taking 1t up, I presume. from the fact that
1t was recently stated in @ newspaper that
smoking cars for women are being intro
duced on some roads. 1t Is claimed by
some that smokers are selfish: the contrary
is the fact. No smoker tries to force others
to smoke, but the few who do not are con-
tinually trying to bring others to their way
of thinking. know OF an instance where,
were smoking, talking and enjoying them
selves when tenth man came in and threw

WAS KILLED BY A TRAIN.
Thomas E. Reardon, Jr., Of Anacostia
Was the Victim.

Thomas E. Reardon, jr., eighteen years of
age son of Thomas E Reardon, who con-
ducts grocery store on Lincoln street,
Anacostia was killed on the Southern rail-
way near Orange, Va, last Wednesday
night. A pawn ticket that had been issued
in the name of Thomas Ribbon Anacostia,
served as the means of bringing about the
Identification of the remains A message
was received in Anacostia yesterday after
noon telling of the finding Of the body and
the police We're appealed to by Mr.. Reardon.
His son had been missing since Tuesday
night or Wednesday, and he feared that the
body was that Of the young man. The tden-
LITIGATION was completed this morning, when
William Reardon, a brother, went to Orange
and viewed the remains. He had an under
taker prepare the body for shipment, and
telephoned that he would reach home with
the remains about o'clock this afternoon
The right leg of the victim of the accident
was severed from the body at the hip and
his face was badly SCARED 1t Is thought
that he probably went away on a freight
train and that he either slipped from the
train or that he jumped and his leg rested
across the track.
The deceased was an apprentice in the
navy yard. He was on the street in Ana
costa with several companions Monday
night and certain young ladies took ex-
ception to remarks alleged to have been
made by members of the party. Police
man Brown arrested two of the young
men and warrants were issued for the
others. Upon learning that warrant had
been issued for his arrest. Reardon left
Anacostia and the police were unable to
find him. His parents were very much dis
turbed over the affair and yesterday morn
ing Mrs. Reardon. mother of the young
man, called upon the police and deposited
$40 collateral for his appearance in the
Police Court not imagining that anything
had happened to him. She thought that he
was merely keeping out of the way Of the
police and that he would return home as
soon as he learned that settlement of his
case had been effected.
Thomas had been killed several hours be-
fore the money was deposited with the po-
lice, however but Policeman Brown, real
izing that Reardon had probably been killed,
went to the Police Court this morning and
arranged for the holding of the money until
he could hear from Orange. Under the cir
cumstances the money will be returned.
The charge against Reardon was merely
disorderly conduct. Arrangements for the
funeral will be made after the body reaches
this city.
