The wagon was driven by Mr. A. H. Lane, of the Standard Oil Co. | The cartridge, which some one had carelessly thrown in the street, ex- ploded when the wheel struck it. The ball richocheted upwards, passed through the door of the A. C. L. I barber shop and struck the bottow of a chair, glancing thence and striking a sign in the rear of the shop. It rebounded and struck A. (. Leggett, one of the barbers, but its force was spent, and no material injury was done.

Although buying of freight cars has been on more liberal scale dur- the past month, orders for passenger coaches and motive power show a falling off. The big railroads of the country evidently have been awaiting the freight rate decision before making their equipment com- mitments.
