that on. } night while ho was employed In the
gambling house formerly kept by Jim Wilson

up to Mtdclloton as bo wns sitting at the
able dealing nut cards , nnd pulled out a re

the \\oapon within six inches ot Middle ton's
face nnd pulled the tripscr twice. The re
volver failed to bo discharged , however ,
either tlmo , although an examination of tbo
weapon afterwards proved that it had been
loaded. From that time on the local gam
blers were of the opinion that Mldtilcton was
not born for the purpose of being killed In
that way , and they xvoro therefore very much
surprised to hear of his liaUntr been shot

time that It was the form of a man. He nt
once reversed his engine and blew Ills whistle.
It was too late to atop , and the whole train
paiaed o\er tbo prostiatc form before it came
to a standstill. Tlio body was picked up nnd
brought to the Dlulfi , where an inquest was
held.

The body of the dead man was so mangled
us to bo hardly recognizable. The bead was
severed completely from the shoulders , tut
otherwise win hardly scratched. The tiunk
wns soiled In twain The arms wore liter
ally bioken to pieces and both Icps were sev
ered from the body.
The engineer stated that when he picked
up the body ho felt of the foot and found It
completely cold. J. S Ilockman , the liicman ,
corroborated this statement , and ( I II.
Whoclc , ono of the hraiieincn , said ho fou-id
the face cold within fifteen mhuitos after the
accident , but ho thought the foot was a trillo
warm. 'JLJio fact that the man was
cold when ha was picked up leads
the ralltoad men to think that ho was dtail
when the tiain struck him , having died from
heart disease. An examination of the heart
will show -whether ho has been subject to
heart disease , and with thohouo of llmlmy

A. llusy liurglur ,
Residents of Bluff street wcro troubled
with a bold , bad burglar night before last.
The residence of H. L. Shcphnrd was vis
ited , but almost as soon ns tbo burglar had
entered tbo house , nn J before ho had had a
chance to load up , Mr. Shephard appeared on
the scene. The room from which ho emerged
was light , while the room where the burglar
was holding his scanco was dark , so that ho
had aa opportunity to escape before Mr.
Sbephnrd could get hold of nlmor see what
ho looked llko. Shophnrd raado a grab for
him , but iust as the fjmb took root the buip-
lar slid out of the door and slammed the door
niter him.
W. W. Willaco's house was the next on
the burclnr's ' programme. Will Wallace wns
rending In the room ndjol'iing the dining
room at about midnight. Ho heard footsteps
in the dining room , but thoupln that It was
some other member of the family. Ho paid
no attention to it , but soon after on going
into the next room ho found the silvmvaro
all gone thut bad been left on the table after
\\Iththooxcoptlonofa largo silver
latter , which had evidently been dropped
n i the entry by tbo burglar on account of Its
umvleldlncss. Solid sllverwuroto thovaluo
of $ 'iO was taken. The strange part of the
business is that durlnc all this tlmo the door
between the rooms wns open , nnd the burg
lar must hnvo passed within ten feet of
where "Wallace was sitting and ha/1 carried
on all his operations under his very nose
The fact tbnt a pair of overshoes was also
among the missing property is regarded as
partially accounting for the quietness with
which the man carried on bis work.
An attempt was also mndo to enter the
residence ot L. Xurmeuhlcn , which is situ
ated nearly across the street from tbo other
two , but the visitor \\ns fripbtcncit off be-
ford bo hivi effected an cntrunio Who the
man is who nmdo himself so plentiful around
the Bluff street houses Is not known , but it
is thought to bj the work of an amateur.
The police have boon put on the trail , nnd an
attempt will bo inailo to rcco\or tbo silver-
wait ) which was obtained from Mr. Wallace.
Some of It , It is thcfURht , can bo recovered ,
ns It was engraved with n monoKram of the
owner.

"In a few moments I noticed a commo

The guests of honor , attended by tlioir
mammas nid IIULSOS , arrived at the

lighted and tlio president assisted his
fjrmtKon in reaching. "When sup-
poi \\is uimouncod the president
and Master Benny marched at the head
of the piocossloii to the prhnlo dining
loom. There the vouthful guests \\oro \ \
lifted into high chairs. The florjil con-
tcr-pioco of the table consisted of two
American flags in a field of green. The
guests found at their phiccs little baskets
tied with the "Union colors and filled
\\lth bon-bons There wore also flower
whips , the handles wound \\lth rod ,
wliito and blue ribbons , and lire-balls
dandled at the end , in which llttlo bollfl
tingled as their youthful owners pluyed
with them. Knoh whip hud the nnmo j > f

the ribbon loops. When the little ones
\vero seated the host , Cluster Benjamin ,
gravely asked a Messing in German , and
the feast began. President Hnrribpn
stood behind his grandson's ' clmir ,
ana Mrs. Hnnison plnjed attend
ant upon her granddaughter Mary.
Mammas and nurses formed an
admiring coidon around thorn all ,
while the babies drank bouillon and
ate tlioir ko cieam and c.ikes. The
cream was served to them in pink boxes
tied with pink ribbons. During the
meal , as well us during tlio dancing
which followed , Piof. Sousn and a few
members of the bmd gave a musical
melange. After supper thoio \ \ asa
