Thursday as Fred Baily was going to school at the South building, he jumped on a freight train and was riding on top of a car, just as he was steping from one car to another the cars parted and Fred fell to the track below, and wai laying across tho rail.". A brakomon happened to be near and caught Fred aud pulled him from in front of the moving train. Had the brakeman not been close at hand, the chances are that Frod would have been killed, and probably the railrood company would hava hud a damage suit on its hands, and yet they would have been no wise in the fault. It is a fact that a number of young.boys are in the habit of climbing on trains while they are in motion, and it is a great wonder that more of them are not injured. Parents, warn yonr boys and girls to keep off of^the railroad..

MEXICAN BOUNDARY LINE.
The Joint Commission Oncc HJore IJogins Work in Washington.
WASHINGTON,
The purpose of the commission is to resurvey the land boundary from the Rio Grande west to the coast. When the original boundary line was fixed in the early fifties, but few monuments and markings were erected. Most of them have since disappeared. The commission has spent about three years in field work and held its last session in San Diego, Cal., about a, year ago. The location of the line does not involve any disputed territory. Yesterday the commission began work on the field notes. Colonel Barlow is of the opinion that the full report will not be completed before spring. Another Mexican boundary line commission is working on the boundary originally fixed by the Rio Grande river, which has it constantly shifting bed.

INDIANAPOLIS,
the Holmes case was revived here yesterday by the reappearance of Detective Geyer of Philadelphia. He turned up unexpectedly in Covington. Going to the house where Howard Pietzel was murdered and his body burned, Geyer fitted a key from his pocket in the front door night latch. It worked perfectly. The key had been found on the person of iiolmes after his arrest in Philadelphia. Dr. Thompson, who lived in the house before Holmes occupied it, recognized tho key as tho one he had himself carried for two years.
Kliuniiiatic Man Suicides.
LOUISVILLK,
a
three days' ordeal, Theodore Durant yesterday left the witness stand. District Attorney Barnes tried to draw from the defendant adnn.ssion-s that he was well acquainted witn the use of bromo-seltzer, as used iu medicine. Durant's replies indicated t'r.-t ha had devoted the night to a study of the compound, as he replied that he had conversed with Dr. West about it in the jail the previous evening. He was able to give its analysis and detailed its pathological effect.
For the first time during the trial Durant pleaded ignorance. In reply to a question by Mr. Barnes ho snirt he did not know what an alibi was until after his trial began.
Winie testifying yesterday the prisoner became badly eont'usx-d at times, and when questioned regarding his experience at Cooper mouic.u college, became so mixed ui his dates that he had to refer to a card tiiat he carried iu his pocket to set himself right. He became noticeably confused and rather testy in liis replies when examined vu regard to the interview he had with G-ubert F. Gralia-rn, a follow studenr, at the, city prison, whom tho prosecution claims Durant asked Uralmm to furnish him with a co »y of tli." notes of Dr. Cheney's If- tare, rs .'u.-rJiiiig:

The district atrovney au'-iiii fon.vid Dnrant to- admit that he had wricien a statement of his case and enclosed it'in an envelope to his attoriu-ys wxtii the ins ructions to "o^eii it if he was eonvictod and to return it ii he was not cor.victeid."
Durant was ashed if he uil not recently s.aoSv an ciivelope be..ring such an inscription to Miss Carrie Cunningham, a local newspaper reporter. Durant replied emphatically that he had not. lie also denied that he had told Miss Cunningham that he had heard suspicious noises in the belfry of tho rhnanuel church on the afreriiuou that Blanche Lamoot was murdered.
Several specimens of iXaant's handwriting was iu'trodueod in evidence for the purp"se of comparing them with the writing on the wrapper in which tiie rings of Blanche Lauiouc were maiied to her aunt, Mrs. hole.

"WASHINGTON,
Oct. 12. Secretary
Smith said that he had no knowledge that tho Corbett-Fitzimmons prize fight managers were intending to have the fight on the government reservation at Hot Springs, Ark., but that should any attempt be made to have the fight on the reservation he would see that the law was enforced. Corbett and Fitznnimons would not be granted a permit- from the interior department, and if any of the lessees should grant the privilege of a right upon the lands they
had obtained from the government, he
instructions from Commissioner Browning and would take immediate steps to prevent the fight taking place in the Indian Territory. Chief Perryman,

Kessier had been ai'flicteu for some time with rheumatism, aud it is thought tho deadly shot was fired iu a fit of temporary insanity, caused by the intense pain ho suffered. He was quite wealthy.

Tex., Oct. 12..—Kit Robin-
son, colored, was hanged here yesterday before a large number of people for the murder, in June, 1895, of John Johnson, an old white man, who was a pumper for a railroad.

Acting Commissioner Smith replied that he presumed the chief meant prize fights, and that Agent Wisdom had been instructed to suppress ail saoh exhibitions. io l''igliti.ig at Ilot Springs.
LITTLE ROCK,
Oct. lxi. Governor
Clarke, who has been examining the laws closely touching the gubernatorial power to prevent prize fighting, has outlined liis intentions in communications addressed to the oincers at HotSprings and the principals in the proposed fight. The governor will hold himself ready to co-operate with Judge Dufiie of the Hot Springs district to prevent the fight should it appear that the local authorities fail to impress upon the lighters and their backers with sufficient force the propriety of declaring the fight off.
