Pullman Car Wrecked by an ExiIoslou
of Gas.
Yesterday afternoon an explosion oc
curred on the O.' Ji. & N. near Moeier
that niUrtit have resulted in the serious
injury and probable death of a number
' cf past-enters had it taken place a little
later in the evening. It was caused by
an accumulation ofcoal gaa in one of
the Baker heaters, which exploded and
blew out the end of the car as complete
ly as if it had been dynamite.-
At the time of the accident no one was
in the car but Peter Harris, the colored
porter, and he was badly cat up about
the head and face, and one of his hacds
was lacerated. He was brought to this
city and Dr. Doane on examining him
found that no bones had been
broken and that he was not in
jured outside of the wounds alie:dy
mentioned. When the reporter called
upon him this morning he was ab!e to
tit up aud did not seem to be eufl.-r:ng
any greut amount of pain.
It was lucky that the accident did not
occur during the niitht, when the car
was full of sleeping passengers, or it

The follov.iEg- is reported from a
cross-roads justice's court:
"Inoav, jedge," said the witness, "I'm
about ter tej.1. the truth!"
"Do you Kicsn ter tell me," said the
. jw.tice, "that- you've been lyin' these

- "Jedge," replied the witness, "I wuz

I'm g-winc ter tell you right now ef
you call ins a liar I'll knock you clean

The justice regarded him sternly for
three minutes and then said :
"John, ef I didn't think that you wuz
drinkin I'd fine you ten dollars for
contempt o' court!" Atlanta. Consti
tution. Justification.
"Huh!" snorted the husband who
had beem inveigled into attending the
rendition of a sermon. "Call him a
boy preacher! He's 40 if he's a day." .
"He does look that, way," said the
wife: "but," she continued, in her
anixiety to plead, "don't you think he j
has the mind of a boy?"

CAUGHT THE EDUCATED CRAB.
It Had Spoiled Cnp'n Eph'i Flahims;,
But Wu Lsailcd lx Medford Ram.
The Educated Crab came to grief the
other day and Cap'n Eph Browles vis
ited the villag-e to celebrate the event.
When last seen, bound over the hills of
Hardscrabble, he was close hauled and
laying a course as tortuous as the wake
of a mackerel smack beating to wind
ward agninst- tide and a stiff no'th
e as ter.
Cap'n Eph had been fishing- for the
Educated Crab ever since he was so
afflicted with rheumatism that he had
to knock off cruising between Bishop
and Clerk's lighthouse and the Hand
kerchief ledge, and do all his fishing in
the bay or off the breakwater. He had
always maintained that the Educated
Crab was raised in Buzzard's bay and
that it had legs around New Bedford.
It showed a vicious knowledge, accord
ing to Cap'n Eph, only to have been
gained by long experience among
whalemen. .
- "I s'pose that air crab hez been afoul
my line at least 'leven hundred times,"
remarked Cap'n Eph when he stood in
front of the post office and displayed the
cadaver of the crab, which . he had
brought from the beach carefully
wrapped in a paper.
"How do I know it's the same crab?
Don't yer s'pose I kin tell his figger
head from yourn? (addressing the
neighbor on his left and pointing to the
one on his right.) Crabs hev phizes jest
ez much ez pussons. 'Sides, there never
wus a crab afore that wuz sheathed all
along its keel and deck with barnacles.
I've beam tell thet yer could tell th age
uv a rattlesnake by th' rattles he steered
by Ef thet holds good in th' case uv
crabs this'n must be nigh a thousand
years old. ' . . - ,;
"It ud steal bait f aster'n a hull school
uv fryers. Thet's where his eddication
cum in. I've leaned over the gunwale
when I wuz fishing in clear water an
watched him skirmish "round mor'n SO
times. He'd go skuttlin' 'round my hook
four or five times, jes ter get th' bear
ings uv th bait, but he wouldn't make
no effort ter tech th bait until he'd gone
up ag'in th tide for two or three fath
oms. Then he'd come sailin' back with
the tide on his beam an' heave to about
three inches from my line.
"Every other crab would hev jes
grabbed fur th' bait an' made sail. That
wuzn't th' style of th' Eddicated Crab,
aowsomever he'd jes' port his helm an
swing athwart th' tide till he'd got his
starboard claw fore an' aft with my line,
an' then he'd grab th hook by th eye
ytC pint its biziness end away from his
belly while he picked the bait off with
his pert claw. It didn't matter how fast
I hauled in th' line, he'd hev th hook
bare by th time I rized him to the edge
or th'- water. r
"He spiled my fishin' fur three sum
mers, but I kotched him at last. How
it cum about shows that th' smartest
irab ain't no way superior to man ef it
meddles with rum. Night afore las' I
opened half a . bucket ur clams an set
the bait down by the table right under
where I'd sot a nigh about full bottle uv
Medford rum; what I used to rub my
leg fur rheumatiz. I'd disremembered
! all about that bottle when I cum hum
long about nine o'clock o' night an'
j tried to light th' glim. Whilst I wuz
I foolin.' 'round fur a match I knocked th
aottle over an' most all the likker
3washed down on them air clams. I
sussed myself fur a lubber all night.
ur I had pains in my leg an' stumach
mighty bad. But I ain't sorry thet I
spilled th' likker now, seein that I
kotched th eddiented crab, v
"I thot ez the likker. would be likely
to spile th' bnit, an sure enough I didn't
g-it a bite till th' tide wuz about ebb an
th' ole crab hove in sight. He took to
the rum soaked bait jest ez kindly ez a
prohibitionist away from hum. He
lleaned my hook an made sail fur his
port, but bivneby he cum back under
full headway an' seemed dreadful eager
fur 'nother bite. He got it, but acted
so wobbly that it sot me ter thinking.
Says I ter myself, 'you hev sartainly got
brains enough-to git tangled up in
your latitude ef you hist in much more

Cap'n Crab navigate all over the bottom
with it. Bimeby I seed thet he was too
wobbly ter steer , within three pints uv
his course. He hed to tack half a dozen
times afore he could lay himself along
side the hook when I baited up agin
and then he jest grabbed at th' bait,
hook and all, regardless o' - conse
kecences. I let him git a good hold
if ore I yanked, an when I did give a pull
on th' line I druv th hook nigh half
through his port quarter. It wasn't
time for th' wink ur a yallerleg's eye
afore I hed him in th' boat; an he lay
