ENGINEER ELLIS
PLUhGES TO DEATH
In Waters of McGirt's Creek
A. c. L. Engine Jumps
Track on Bridge.
Engineer Popular Man on Road-Cause

OF kACCIuCHL lNOt bCtCIhhhCus

Line Railroad, which passed Palatka at
500 p. m. last Monday and was due in
Jacksonville at $50, jumped the track
on the long trestle over McGirts creek
six miles this side of Jacksonville, at
$50. The engine and tender plunged
into the creek and Engineer Joseph
Ellis of Jacksonville, who went down
with his engine was drowned. Fire
man Otis Brown, colored, who also
went down got loose from the sub
merged engine and came TO the surface
clinging to box and was later rescued.
His only injury was an ugly scalp
wound.
The engine went into deep water and
is totally submerged, with the tender up
side down on top of engine and the
trucks just showing above the surface.
The forward wheels of the mail car
went over the bridge, and but for the
fortunate disconnecting of the coupling
it too would have gone into the water.
The train was we'll filled with passen-
gers, but none received other than
slight bruises although all were consider
ably shaken up. They were gotten into
Jacksonville by the relief train that
same night rbout 1890.
Engineer Ellis who lost his life was
one of the most popular engineers on
the line and was well known in Palatka
He was about As years of age and leaves
wife, two sons and two daughters.

Tribute to Dead Engineer.
The News has received the following
tribute to the dead engineer from Mr..
D. Beasley of Denver, this county, one
of the oldest section foreman on the
line. During the past summer Mr..
Beasley's wife has been seriously i'll
with typhoid fever and several times
nigh to deaths door. During the sea-
son of her long illness Engineer Ellis
was Mr.. Beasley's steady and sincere
friend, offering help and consolation
freely. Mr.. Beasley says:
"When Engineer Joseph Ellis OF No.
so at his post of duty, went down to his
death in the dark waters OF McGirts
Creek the railway service OF this coun-
try lost one of its noblest and most eff
cient men, and myself and others in
subordinate place lost helper, Sympa-
thiser and friend that we will never for
get. During the long season of illness
in my family the past summer his daily
word of comfort and cheer and his
readiness to give more substantial aid if
needed, has endeared him TO me more
than can express in words. To me his
death comes as the loss of brother
He was one of Gods noblemen. My
heart goes out in sympathy to his be-
reaved wife and children.

FAMOUS SWORDS.
The Monster Weapon Used at Welsh
Eisteddfods.

Tho Monster Weapon Used at Welsh
Eisteddfods.
The largest sword of which there Is
any record is the seven foot ceremonial
sword that was made for Edward Ill.
and Is now preserved in Westminster
abbey. Next comes the Sword OF
ceremony" that is used at Welsh els
teddfods. This weapon If placed in
,the hands of a modern Godfrey de
Bouillon, who, it will be recalled, with
q two handed sword cleaved Turk
into halves from the shoulder to the
hips, would be quite long enough for
any one who wished to put it to prac-
tical use. 1t is six feet two inches In
length.
OF gorgeous swords which are not
so much weapons as settings for pre-
cious stones the most valuable In Eng
lish Is said to be the one presented by
the Egyptians to Lord Wolseley and
valued at $4,000 This sum is COM
paratively Insignificant for a bejeweled
sword If the value of the sword brought
over to Europe some years ago by the
then shah of Persia-namely, $4,000
be taken as a standard Of what dia-
mond hilted weapon ought to cost.
Competent authorities on the subject
familiar with that famous weapon OF
the Persian ruler are rather skeptical
as to the existence of the gaekwar Of
Baroda's gorgeous blade, which is sup
posed to be worth more than twenty
swords of equal beauty and value to
the shahs. but it is popularity supposed
that the diamonds, rubies and emeralds
with which it is thickly incrusted bring
up its value to about $1,0O0,OO0-Ex'

ate wild parsnip, his life being
saved by the use of the stoma Oh

on clean clothes and got on his
horse and rode away. He tied the
horse, leaving his gun tied on
the saddle, and walked half mile,
where the death occurred. There
was no signs of any tracks and no
marks of violence. The body was
buried near the Indian school yes

MARK TWAINS DESCRIP-
ton OF An EARTHQUAKE

The last issue of Goodwin's
Weekly contains the discription.o of
an earthquake in, San Francisco,
written by Mark Twain in the early
CO.'S for the Virginia Enterprise.
From what he calls an imperfect
memory, Editor Goodwin quotes
the. following: ... ..#
"All at once the old world seemed
to be seized with cramps. The
plums in California are just getting
ripe; you may remember what half
ripe plums did to you when as a
boy you used to steal them. Men,
for the moment, lost their wits, ap-
parently. Indeed therelwas Eonly
one man in San Francisco twho
showed any presence Of mind, and
he was a preacher over in Oakland.
He did just what would have done
had l been given a. chance. He
went down .out of hisNpulpit and
embraced a woman. The papers
say she was his wife and maybe she
was, but if she was it was "a pity.
1t would have shown SO much more
presence of mind to have embraced
some other gentleman's wife.
ga yuong man came downTfrom
the. fifth story of a house on Stock
ton street. He had on no clothing ex-
cept a.knit undershirt, which came
about as near concealing his person,
as does the tin-foil a champagne
bottle.
MAN yelled at him, small:boys
shouted to him, while women be-
sought him to take their sunbon-
nets, their parasols, their aprons,
their hoop skirts-any thing, to
cover himself up and not stand
there distraeting peoples attention
from the earthquake.
1.-The young man gazed all
around, then gazed down at himself,
and then he went upstairs. am
told he went up lively.
"Pete Hopkins-he weighed 400
pounds-was shaken off Telegraph
hill onto three story house. The
paper, always disappearing
things, ascribed the destruction of
the house to the earthquake"
