Slaughter on the Railways.

With a record of nearly 400 per-
sons killed in railway wrecks dur
ing the past six months and about
$50 injured, the public is asking
whether the railway commissioners
of the several states and the inter
state commerce commission can
not intervene to stop the slaughter.
1t is noticeable that the worst
wrecks occur when rounding
curves and with trains moving at
very high speed. The conclusion
forced upon the men in the street
is simply that the structures are
not strong enough to withstand
trains of the present heavy weight
and moving at great speed. In
this connection it is surely disquiet-
ing to be told by practical rail
way man like the vice president of
the Burlington road that trains
are being run today on practically
every road in this country faster
than the operating officials in
charge consider wise or prudent. "
If the travelling public is such a
fool that it demands dangerous
speed and the railways are COM
peting to supply it, then it is time
for a higher authority to inter

Outcome of Shooting
Near Mercedes.

As a result of the shooting at
the chicken fight near Mercedes
Sunday, several arrests have been
made by Sheriff Closner of Hidalgo
county and his deputies, and an
official investigation of the case
was held by Justice of the Peace
Alex Champion at Mercedes yes
terday.
From parties who came down
last night from Mercedes some
further particulars of the affair, as
developed in thejustice's court have
been learn. The testimony went
to show that the trouble grew out
of the resistance of Manuel Cava
EOS of Officer Marcellus Dougherty,
who was attempting to disarm
Cavazos, the latter having a pistol
on his person without legal right.
The other parties to the shooting
were four brothers of Cavazos,
who are said to have been armed
with winchester rifles, aud at
tempted to take their brother away
from the officer.
The four brothers arrested, be-
sides Manuel Cavazss, are Dionicio,
Ramon, Pancho and Bernardo
Cavazos. The charge against them
is assault to murder and resisting
an officer. They were put under
a bond of $500 each.

The Woods in Old VioIins.

The old masters used such care
in the selection of the woods for
their instruments that. having
found piece of wood of proper
fiber and vibrational powers, they
treasured every fragment, no mat
matter how small; and, rather
than waste even a particle of such
a strip, they frequently construct
ed the backs and bellies of patches
SO delicately put together that
the seams are only discoverable
by microscope, SO perfect is the
cabinet work. It was ever the
aim of the old masters to marry"
the back of hard sycamore, which
produces the quick vibrations, and
the belly of soft wood, producing
the slower sound waves, in such a
manner as to give the mellow but
reedy timbre of the perfect in
strument. Anatomically, violin
made by an old master is a miracle
of construction; it can be taken to
pieces, patched, put together, re-
paired indefinitely, and is almost
indestructible. Repairing has been
the means of exposing many clever
forgeries. The inside of a violin
made by Stradivari, Guarnerius,
or other old master is as perfectly
finished inside as outside, and the
clumsy interior work of a forgery
betrays an imitation at once.
