way to strike cuttings is to fill a large flower

and cover them with pane of window glass.
Place the pot in q pan Of hot water, in u win.

pleted in the fore part OF summer, frequently
become grassy and weedy before the time OF
digging, when the size 0: the tops precludes

A Strange Accident-Narrow Escape
from Death.

PlTrsBCIGH, January 23.-An accl-
dent of a strange and miraculous char
acter occurred here today with results
that seem almost incredible. A freight
train ran off the track near the corner
of Grant street and Seventh avenue,
demoli-hing a dwelling in which Mrs.
Reagan and her three children were
sleeping. Mrs. X. heard the crashing
OF cars and the shouts of men and
realized that the house was in danger.
She seized her baby in her arms, sprang
out of bed, ran down stairs, and had
Just reached a part OF the stairs when
the car struck the house and completely
shattered the end aud side, throwing
the whole building into mass of ruins.
Mrs. X. and her baby were buried in
the debris, the entire second floor,
except a part upheld by the back wall
of the house, falling over them. They
were protected by the floor falling upon
portions OF the wreck, which kept it
from falling directly upon them. The
child was not hurt, but the mother sus-
tanned many bruises. The other
children were sleeping on the second
floor, one side of which fell to the
ground. They rolled against the wheels
OF the car that had caused the ruin, and
were uninjured. Not an article in the
house escaped the wreck.

Mr.. Brewster, who had been elected
Speaker at the time when Col. Carter

ators in an informal meeting held after

all members OF the House are pledged
to reform and their is no doubt that
extensive notifications Of obnoxious
laws will take place. Mr.. Davidson
offered resolution to reconsider the
late act OF the Senate unseatIng some

This was done to facilitate the seating
OF more OF Warmoth' 8 adherents.

tax of 16 cts per pound on all manu-
featured tobacco.
Mr.. Kellogg, OF Connecticut, present
ed a petition OF certain citizens of New
Haven for the repeal of the law taxing
spirits.
Mr.. Sargent, from the committee on
Mining, reported bill to promote the

closes all valuable mineral deposits in
lands belonging to the United States,

open to occupation and purchase under
the regulations prescribed by law and
according to local customs on rates Of
miners in the several mining districts so
far as the same are applicable and not
inconsistent with the laws Of the United
States.
The remaining thirteen sections make
a detailed provision regulating the man
ner of making and contesting claims for
mineral lands. The most important
section seems to be the fourth, which
provides that when a tunnel is run for
the development OF a vein or lode or for
the discovery Of mines, the owners OF
such tunnel shall have the right OF
possession OF all veins or lodes not
previously known TO and discovered in
such tunnel, 10 the extent OF FIVE hun

Shooting ARRAY at CharlestOn-An
F.F,v. on His Muscle.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, January o.
An exciting shooting scrape took place
here at o'clock this evening. During
the war the lands Of John Clarkson, a
wealty Virginian, were sold for taxes,
and he sued for recovery. Dispositions
were being taken to day in lawyer
Kenna's office, on Kanawha street.
The defendants to the suit were United
States Marshal Hedgeman Slack and
his father and brother. A dispute arose
about a question that was asked, when
Clarkson called old man Slack liar.
Hedgeman Slack struck Clarkson, and
a general melee ensued, in which seven
shots were fired, Clarkson shooting once
and the Stacks six. times. The room
was small and over a dozen persons were
present. Clarkson was hit four times,
one being q dangerous wound in the
breast, but not necessarily fatal. All
the parties are Of wealth and respecta-
bility, and the excitement is great.
