Rail Road Accident.

Quite serious accident happened on
Monday of last week to the Pacific Ex-
press train on the P. G. r. r. Just be-
low Coatsville, the engine struck COW
and knocked her off the track, but it
being in cut she rolled back under the
wheels of the baggage car and threw it off
the track. The passenger cars pushed the
baggage car along until it. turned COM
pletely around and the passenger cars
came off the trucks. Had the timbers
not been remarkably strong, they would
have been torn to pieces, but as it was
the frame of the cars protected the pas
sengers, and when the train was stopped,
which the Engineer was enabled to do
very quick with the steam breaks, it was
found no one was hurt. The train was
detained three or four hours, before the
wreck was cleared.

B6~ Henry Lee, F. l.. s., writes to
the editor of the London Lancet in regard
to the paralytic seizures from which
Chang, one of the Siamese twins has re-
Gently suffered. He has received letters
from the twins and their families, which
induce him to believe in the possibility
of their separation in case of the pre-
decease of one of them. A letter from
one of Chang's daughters says, that their
father is low-spirited, can scarcely move
without assistance, and that his whole
right side is perfectly useless. "Uncle
tries to cheer him up, but he has nothing
to say" From the sentence mentioning
Eng's endeavor to cheer and comfort his
brother, DIR. Lee infers in each, distinct
and seperate volition and vitality, and
hence that Eng could be successfully
cut from the dead body of chang, should
the latter die first

B0- The French prisoners in Germany

BG~ The French prisoners in Germany
are now employed on public works on a
considerable SCALE From 1900 to 1000
are engaged in embanking the Elbe at
Magdeburg; 1000 are reclaiming waste
lands in Hanover, and in other provinces
similar undertakings are being carried
out. The Augsburg visitors to the 1913
prisoners at Lechfeld are so numerous
that many are conveyed in goods-wagons.
The making of road through the plain
has been commenced in order to employ
them. The labor is optional, but the
wages are such as to induce most of them
to volunteer. Some are occupied in cut
ting out wooden figures, windmills and
other toys, which they ingeniously accom-
plish with bread-knife. The rations
are the same in material and quantity as
those supplied to German troops, but
they are not quite satisfied with them,
and make more demands than become
prisoners.

Married. hut not Mated.

A rather novel case is pending in the
Circuit Court of the adjoining county of
Dewitt, the preliminary steps of which
were developed in this city yesterday
A young gent, whom we will call Adam,
because that isn't his name, entered the
Sheriff's Office at the Court House and
inquired for Deputy Sheriff Hendryx.-
Mr.. Hendryx, who is always attentive to
business, answered his call Adam stated
that he wanted the officers assistance to
serve q divorce summons for him.
But" said he, it is necessary, that
you should understand the case before
you serve the papers" So he proceeded
to detail the following state of affairs
About three weeks ago, Adam, who
had been paying his addresses to young
Eve in the vicinity, made a treaty with
her, by which they agreed to marry
He obtained license, and they were
privately married without the knowledge
of her parents. But as soon as they
were made one, they agreed to keep their
marriage secret, and not to live togeth-
er to enjoy the honeymoon until three
weeks had passed. In other words, the
indiscreet and grateful Adam and Eve
agreed not to "raise Cain" by troubling
the old people about it, until they were
ready to brave the frowns of relatives,
and casting fear behind them, enter the
garden of Eden together.
The three weeks had nearly passed,
when, on Sunday last, Adam visited the
home of his father-in-law, and as he was
thought to be only sparkling" the pa
rents looked on without censure. But
Adam was impatient, and in an unguard-
ed moment he drew forth the marriage
certificate and handed it to the "stern
parient." The latter perused the docu-
ment, and, turning toward the poor girl,
asked her if it was true. Eve, seeing
the storm gathering upon the brow Of
her father, concluded, like Peter, to deny
her lord and master, and said it was all
a fiction-that she hadn't married him at
all. What then did that cruel father-in-
law do but seize Adam by the collar, and,
opening the door, kick him out of Para
disc. This was an argument a posteriora,
and did not admit of reply. Adam
concluded that he did not want a wife, if
he couldn't get her, and has filed bill
for divorce, and wants Hendryx to serve
the papers. He says the maiden and her
people are worse than Philistines, and
will not allow him to come around their
dwelling. He is very emphatic in his re-
lation of the circumstances, and his anx-
iety for divorce is twice as great as it
was to marry.

How Canada is Going Ahead of Us.

A New York commercial authority
shows that while Congress has been
busily engaged in legislating shipbuild-
ing and shipowning out Of existence,
through the mistaken idea that such a
policy was beneftting the manufactur-
ing interests of the country, the Cana
dams have built up a steam marine
OF which they have good reason 70 be
proud. The writer says:
"In point OF numbers and tonnage
the ROYAL Canadian Steamship Line Of
Montreal, owned by Messrs. Allen, is
the largest fleet controlled by any one
company in the world, not excepting
the Messrs. Cunard. This company
has grown to greatness in proportion as
American shipping interests have de
clined The line now has a weekly
mail of frstclass steamers to Liverpool,
besides a freight line to Glasgow and
Liverpool. Montreal is their point of
departure, and from this port other lines
are established with Liverpool and
London, besides an experimental line of
steamers to the Mediterranean. Works
are now in progress for the opening Of
the harbor of Bic, in the Lower st.
lawrence, which will give the steam
ers two months more Of navigation
each year than they now enjoy, owing
to the early closing OF the river and the
length Of the winter season; and rail-
