A most unfortunate accident, which
came near being fatal, occurred near
here, late Tuesday evening, TO Mr.. Reeve
Lewis and Miss Clarissa Hill while out
automobiling. They had gone 10 Lake
Bruen, several miles above st. Joseph,
and were returning. A gate crosses the
public road at a point near the head Of
the lake. A high bluff borders the road
on the lake side, and Is the auto sped
through the opening in diagonal course
the steering gear became disabled and
the car, though running ON low gear,
crossed the road and reached the bluff,
going over the embankment before the
occupants could get out.
Mr.. Lewis was hurt badly, his thigh
being broken, besides receiving other
serious injuries. Miss Hill suffered no
broken bones, but was badly bruised
about her body and severely cut on both
lower limbs. Medical aid was summoned
and the wounded couple brought to St.
Joseph. Both are now reported now do
ing well.

tain and Southern Railway Company,
were yesterday transferred from the
Adams County Circuit Court to the Unit
ed States District Court at jackson by
Circuit Judge Ernest E. Brown.
They are the suits of Mrs. F. A. Pick

friend to Daniel, Curtis, Kirby and Coney
Pickering, for $40, 900, and a second suit
of two counts, for $4,000 in the first
count, and $50, 900 in the second.
The grounds upon which the transfer

more than 5000 and the litigsnts are
non-residents.
Mrs. Pickering is suing in the first suit
for damages for the posting Of an alleged
false bulletin announcing the annullment
of train carrying her husbands corpse,
which caused her to miss connection at
Natchez, resulting in the decomposition
of the body by an eighteen hour delay.
She was en- route from Locust Ridge, La,

leges that acting for the railroad In the
clearing Of q wreck, J. d. McGehee as

Shortly before ten o'clock on the
tenth day of February, I walked from
my hotel over to the Jefferson Trust
company in the city of Richmond. I
was taken at once into the vault of
the safety deposit boxes, where
found Miss Caroline Pickney and the
vault officer, Mr.. Montague Thomas.
This young man greeted me courteous
~, but ! had only another stately nod
from Miss Pickney. She would never

was the theory of the master bred in

Promptly at ten, Mr.. Robert Hender-
son arrived. He wore large checked
ulster, a top hat and astonishingly
yellow gloves. He greeted me as a
lost neighbor discovered in distant
country, shook vigorously the rather
limp hand of Mr.. Montague Thomas,
but went back on his heels before Miss
Caroline Pickney. She did not see
him, she never saw him.
appreciated the need to get the
matter speedily over, and requested
Mr.. Henderson to allow Miss Pickney
to examine the jewels. He threw open
his ulster, revealing small leather
handbag, secured to his waist by a
chain, such as is used by bank mes
sengers. He opened the bag and took
out an ancient black leather case,
which he also opened and held in his
hand. In it, lying coiled up against
the lining of old purple velvet was a
pyramid pin, two drop earrings and a
strand of oriental pearls. Miss Pick

I had a word with Popinot at the
door, after oiling the itching in his
palm with a silver dollar. "Poofi"
he said, Madame Versay was less
French than his cafe cat. She was
born in Harlem under shamrock. She
had heard him, Popinot, name the di-
vine Versailles in food of longing
for his native country. The name
pleased her; she implored him to say
