Y., has brought suit for $2, 000 damages in the Supreme Court against John J. Reisler, a proprietor of a barber shop at 838 High street and Broadway. Palmer's grievance is that hi? beard, of which he was quite proud, was cut off by one of Relsler's employees. Palmer fell asleep in the barber's chair, he says, after having told the man simply to trim his whiskers, but the barber stupidly sheared off all the whiskers and shaved hts face. The application of a wet towel on Palmer's face awoke him, and when he realized that his beard was gone he sought a law yer instante, and brought suit at once. CUNNING OF THE COYOTE. His Patience and Some of His Other . Peculiar Traits. (From The Outing Magazine.) This is the coyote-co-yotay, with all the syllables, to the Mexican who named him "klote" merely to the American wanderer who has come and gone so often that he at last re gards himself a resident stockman and farmer. It is this little beast's triangular visage, his sharp nose fitted for the easy investigation of other people's aifalrs, bis oblique green eyes with their squint of cowardice and perpet ual hunger that should have a placo in the adornment of escutcheons. It is notorious that the vicissitudes of his belly never bring to him the fate upon whose verge he always lives, and that nothing but strychnine, and not always that, will bring an end to his forlorn career! As his gray back moves slowly along above the reeds and coarse grass and he turns his head to look at you, he knows at onco whether or not you have with you a gun, and you cannot know ?ow he knows. Once satisfied that you are unarmed, he will remain near In spite of any vocal remonstrances, and by and by may proceed to interview you in a way that for unobtrusiveness might be taken as a model of the art. Lie down on the thick brown car pet of tho wilderness and be still for twenty minutes, and, retching him from the corner of your eye, yoG Will see that ho has been joined by others of his brethren hitherto unseen, lie seems to bo curious to know, first, if you are dead, and, second, if by any chance - and he liven upon chances-there is anything else in your neighborhood that he might find eatable. If by any means you manage to offend him deeply at this, juncture the chances are that he and his4 com rades may retire still farther and then bark ceaselessly until they have hooted you out of the neighborhood. That night he and some of his com panions may come and steal the straps from your saddle, the meat from the frying pan-boots from be side your lowly bed. FRED. <IOO NSON AND DAUGHTER j Killed Near West Point-Bodies were Thrown on Engine Pilot. (Atlanta Georgian. August 31.) Lockod in each other's arms, the bodies of Fred. Johnson and his daughter, Mrs. Pulles, were found on the pilot of Wost Point train No. 38, between West Poiut and LaGrange, Saturday morning, after the train, speeding at 70 miles an hour, had dashed out their lives. Passengers on the train arriving in Atlanta at noon tell a turilling story ot the fa tality. Engineer Mc Waters was sending No. 38, the West Point flyer from New Orleans to New York, at ? lightning clip ovr the straight track. A hun dred yards ahead he saw a buggy, containing a man and a woman, crossing the track, but there was plenty of time for them to cross the track. But evidently the driver be came frightened and hesitated. Then came a crash, a shock and the vehicle was splintered into kindling wood. It required time for Engineer Mc Waters to bring the flying train to a stop, and it was backed to the point where the buggy and its living freight had been struck. But there wore no traces of the bodies, and neither the engineer nor the fireman had rosie ru bored seeing them hurled to one side. Then McWaters stepped to the pilot, and there, thrown high against the boiler head, he founri that for which he was searching. The body of an aged man? his brains dashed out, and that of a young woman, the two locked in a close embrace, were there. The old man 'had seised his daughter close to his breast In a frantic effort to save her, and though he coud not ward off death, her fea tures were unmarred by the terrific shock, her face protected by his strong embrace. At ore side of the track was found the horse, torn to pieces by the shock. Close at hand, was the buggy, totally demolished. Friends came to the scene of the fatality, and took charge of the bodies. They identified the old man as Fred. Johnson, aged 65 years, a prosperous farmer. The young woman was his daughter, Mrs. Pulles, aged 33, of Standing Rock, Alabama. Passengers say there was no pos sibility of avoiding the accident. (Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Ono of the Best on the Market.
