upon the Indian and tried to brain him
with the weapon. The chief seized th6

sued without any hippodroming. They
became locked together. The Indian,
with his left arm around Averill, held
the lieutenant’s right wrist with vise-like
grip of his left hand, preventing the use
of the pistol, while in turn the right
hand of the savage, with a knife in its

Tirm, Jan. 5— Oonducter
Fletcher says that the engineer of
the freight train, which collided
with the passenger train near here

is Kyner. He is now at Chicago
junction. Conductor Haskell, of
the possengor train, ran forward in
time to receive some papers from
two dying men,Bullerd and Parks.
Ten of the killed are utterly un-
known. Coroner Lepper will
make a thorough investigation in
the causes ot this frightful catas-
thrope. Of the fifteen persons
kuown to have been killed the fol-
lowjng aro the only ones thus far

Interesting Full About JMIkwovme.
Mr. Dean tells some interesting foots
about bis silkworms. He says that one
ounoe of eggs will produce 40,000 worms.
One hundred worms when first hatched
will weigh one grain. When they have
been properly fed for from twenty-eight
to thirty-one days and are ready for spin-
ning . their ooooons, these same 100 worms
wiU weigh 9,500 grains. That rapid Re-
cession of weight is, of oourse, surpris-
ing but, then, everything about the silk-
worm is more or leas surprising when he
is carefully studied. His very power of
spinning out of himself a filament from
250 yards in length if he has been starved
to as much as a mile and a half, or per-
haps two miles if he is in extra good con-
dition, and the industry with which he
patiently revolves his head around him
800,000 or more tones in forming that
filament into a coooon may well be won-
dered at During toe fifth stage of
