was behind time. Il is stated that the body
of a Young lady was found in the wreck,
burned to a crisp from the waist up.
A train on the Iron Mountain Railroad
was thrown from the track just below
Jefferson Barracks, about fourteen miles

of the cars containing about twenty per-
sons, was precipitated down an embank-
ment, making two complete revolutions,
and nearly every person in it was more or
less injured, some of them severely, but
none fatally.

CHRIsTMAs.-The Christmas holidays have been
more than ordinarily enjoyed here. On Christmas
eve the streets were enivened with great many
faces usually met with in the workshop, the count
ing room or the school room, and not few thus
early had begun to take pretty freely from the Aow
ing bowl. On Christmas day egg-nog was made
use of freely and during the day several old fash
toned stcuff fights resulted therefrom. Black eyes
and bloody nasal protuberances, and we presume
severe headaches In the end, were the rather I'M
pleasant sequel Every man has right to enjoy
holiday as he chooses, but are unable to see the
pleasure or the profit Of such as this, especially the
latter portion.
As has usually been the custom, toe Sabbath
Schools of the eity-or at least portion Of them
had their Christmas trees, from which append
ed presents for the little folks making their eyes to
sparkle with pleasure and pure, unadulteratod joy
We envy not the heart Of the man who cannot en-
| 10Y one OF these occasions.
The most successful feature in the programme
arranged fo- pleasuro-seekers was the German ball.
at tho Akin House, under the auspices Of the Knox
Vile Turn Verein The attendance was very large
The music of the concert was delightful treat, the
| dance was charming the Christmas tree beautiful
and the supper magnificent, just what one would
expect from our enterprisng, wide-awake German
citizens The word fail is not in their vocabulary,
hence whatever they put their hands to is bound to
! succeed.
! Thus large portion Of our citizens have had q
| MERRY Christmas" With the poverty and
tho destitute il has been probably different. The
! bit r cold winter winds have brought no joy to
their household No Santa Claus has went stealth
ily by night, while little ones have been chilled be-
meath their scsnty coverings, TO leave nice warm
garments to gladden. their hearts and keep warm
their little forms The psngs and suflerings they
endure are only known TO a just God and NEE:
with little sympathy from a ccld-bearted world, but
He that tempers the cold winds TO tho shorn lambs
will not disregard their cry.

Hard words came first, then blows when Finley
drew a small pocket pistol and shot Parham IN tho

ranging toward the elbow. The ball was extracted,
