Painful Accident. A very painful and what might have been a very serious Occident happened this morning at ten o'clock to Mr. George Wallace, who is in the employ of the Pacific Express Company. The express wagon which he was driving was at the wholesale produce house of Hamilton & Bro., North Fifth street, and was' being loaded with ap ples in barrels. The wagon was filled with barrels standing on end and oth ers were being rolled on them when the horses started and one of the top barrels rolled, off striking Mr. Wallace to the ground and falling on him with crushing force. He was carried into the store and physicians, Drs. Parker & Shelton, summoned, and at first it was thought he had received serious if not fatal injuries. Examination shouwed that no limbs were broken. He was, however, fearfully lacerated in an ugly gash on the head and se vere cuts on the arms and body. It seems Providential that he was not killed. His wounds are very severe, and he will probably be confined at home for some time. PERSONALS. Mr. J. C. Hill, of the Evening News is still ill at home. Mr. James I. Moore loft for San Antonio to-day. Mrs. Tom Smith is still ill and will probably bo taken to some of the medloinal wolls to recuperate. , Dr. J. B.

Death of Mr. John Farley at Tem ple To-day. A telephone message was recieved at 4 o'olock this morning from Tem ple announcing the death of Mr. John Farley. The message was recieved by Mr. John Harrington who man ages the Waco business of Mr. Farley The older citizens of Waco will regret to hear of John Farley's death. John Farley, from 1875 to the last two years when he moved to Temple, was ono of the prominent business men hero. Ho came originally from Michigan and was for some years a conduotor on tho Michigan Central railroad. From thorn ho wont to the Indian Territory, engaged In the con structlon of the now, Mo. Pacillc railroad. In 1875 ho came to Waco as agent for tho Arctlo Ice Company and In 1870 ho went into business for him self, gradually building up a large business in ice, coal, beer nnd soda wator bottling works, doing all tho business in those Hues for many years. Two years ago he went to Temple where he had establiBed ice works and lived there to the present. About five years ago Mr. Farloy was married In Michigan and tho fruit of the union is two chlldren-a little boy and girl, oged respectively two and four years. Ho leaves his family well provided for. It Is not known at this writing when tho funeral will be but most probably tho remains will be sent to Michigan for inter ment. John Farley was a straight forward and honest business man of a retiring disposition, but of a kind heart, 'ind dlod at tho early age or 41. Mr. Jchn Harrington, who has boon his chlof business man for a great many years, wont down" to Temple on the noon train. He had many friends in Waco who will be pained to hear of his death. ODDITIES IN COLOR. Customers of the Justices Courts The colored population of McLen nan County is a bit of a study. It is devided into two classes, the upper and the lower and there is a middle class. The upper class is educated, refined, usually well to do and respec ted by the white population as good white people are respected, and en vied and hated by the lower class of color. The two classes are drifting wider and wider apart, one going up and the other going dow n. The lower class is a comical bit of study in ebony. One feature is the love of law and courts which pervades the class. To be in a law suit is a dignity and to be defendant in a case is con sidered about as honorable as to be plaintiff. If it was not for the colored patronage the justices of the peace might as well shut up shops, and a justice court affords the subject oi many fine sketches in charcoal. The common colored man is a litigant by nature and if a neighbor looks crosss ways, 'a warrant is immediately sworn out for his arrest. But there is not wanting plenty of causes for ar rest among the lower class. For morality is at a pretty low ebb. Meum and tuum is a vague doctrine and marital rights are pretty vaguely defined in their moral code, Some of the cases which come before the justices are pretty racy and an idle philosospher can find in them curious bits of philosophy. There is just now a warrant out for an uxorious colored man who stole into a colored lady's chamber a few nights ago with felon ious intent, not of property but on virtue. In the hubbub which ensued on the discovery of his presence in the chamber the black Romeo stood swearing by the silver moon, dat de lady looked so sweet he could noi he'p it which beats Romeo for taffy all to pieces considering the circum stances. There is a colored man in town now from the country swearing out a war rant against a neighbor for threaten ing to skin him alive, send him to Hades, mop the ground with him, flatten him like a pancake if he eer comes in the neighborhood again. He is afraid to go home and the other man is cock of the walk and the first mans wife, for whom the second has a hankering, is thecasus bellie. To mor row the other man will come in to swear the peace against the firt. BOTH OF A MIND. A few days ago one of two quar relsome Africans whose beHigerancy is confined to the law courts, in before Justice Makeig to swear out a war rant against the other. While the judge was drawing up the warrant the second party made his appearance at the door, "Daris1 de. man I want's arrested "he exclaimed as he saw the first, and the Judge was hearing the complaint of one while he was finish ing the warrant for the other. Tho judge heard both cases one after the other and sent both to jail and each was satisfied because he had got the other in the jug. rranK Leslie's artist missed t bv not making a sketch of a colored trial in a justices court.
