The:Potomac Disaster.

The steamer Wawassett running
on the Potomac river between WASH
ington and Curriman, took: fire at about
II o'clock on Friday Aug. S,while pas
sing near Chatterton Landing, and
was totally destroyed. There was some
$50 passengers on board at the time
and OF this number some so pe;ished.
The steamer Wawassett was built in
Wilmington, Del, in 1868. She was
1928 tons burthen and was consid cred
as one Of the best Of the boats running
upon the Potomac river. The passen-
ger list at the time of the accident was
largely composed of women and chill
dren, and most of the lost were either
women or children. Upon the dis
covery of the fire the steamer was at
once headed toward the shore, then
about one and one-fourth miles dis
tant, and in about twelve minutes ran
aground in some five feet of water.
The passengers in the forward part
of the vessel saved themselves by
jumping overheard and wadine
ashore. Those in the stern were pre-
vented from going forward by the fire
in the middle part of the vessel, and
sought safety by the boats and by
jumping overheard into the river

Fearful Stage Coach Accident
at Bethlehem, N. Fl,

A fearful stage coach casualty occur
red at Bethlehem, N. H., last Monday,
resulting in the death of three pas
sengers, and seriously injuring twelve
others. A coach drawn by six horses,
and containing seventeen passengers,
was descending a steep hill about
two miles from the Sinclair House,
when one Of the pole straps broke.
The horses became unuanageble and
ran down the hill at a fearful rate,
and as they were turning q short
corner in the road overturned the
coach and passengers, a large portion
of whom were on the outside.
A youth about fourteen years af age.
named j. r. D. Keerl. from Balti-
more, Md, whose father was on
another coach, was instantly killed,
his head being completely crushed by
heavy trunk. Mr.. A. S. Butler, of
Allegan, Mich, was fatally injured,
and died within an hour. Mr.. and
Miss Reeves, Of Phenixville, Pa,
brother and sister, received what were
regarded as fatal injaries. The latter,
who with her brother was taken to
MI. Whitcomb's, died about four o..
clock Tuesday morning, having re.
NAMED conscious almost to the mo.
ment Of death. Mr.. Reeves was un-
conscious all through the night, and
at last accounts there was no hope oil
his recovery. Austin G.. Fox, and
Miss Fox, of New York City were
badly hurt we have not learned the
exact nature of their injuries. Mr.
G. S. Fox Of the same party was
slightly injured. Mrs. LaCroix, OF
Ironton, Ohio, had an arm broken, anc
was otherwise injured. Among those
slightly injured were Mr.. and Mrs.
Culberton, of Ironton, Miss Kennedy
Of Indianapolis, and Chauncy $. Har
rington of Worcester, Mass.
The Littleton Republic, from whicl
we gather the above particulars, com
menting, upon the cause of this sad
casualty, says:
From the best information we CAT
gather, we are satisfied that no blain,
attaches to the driver, Mr.. johnson
He did his best to avoid the calamity
when the danger became apparent
and there is no proof of carelessnes;
on his part at any time. The trouble
is in the general custom, which has
obtained of overlooking coaches will
passengers and heavy baggage. Al
those fatally injured were riding on
the outside, and were struck by thu
heavy trunks which fell from the to,
of the coach. If nothing else viii
prevent this constant overlooking o
coaches, there should be special legls
lation for the purpose.

TIE great Utah divorce suit is
claiming considerable attention at
the hands of the public just at the
present time. The facts of the case
appear to be that Ann Eliza, one of
the many wives of that Uery MARI ed
man, Brigham Young, has been pre-
vailed upon through the influence of a
Methodist Preacher named Stratton
to leave the Mormon circle and COM
mence proceedings for divorce from
the same Brigham, claiming a large
sum of money as alimony to her
claims. Brigham replies that it is but
an attempt to black mail him, inwhich
she is aided by the Rev. Stratton, and
that to such vile demands he will not
pay a shilling, but at all times appears
willing to bid adieu to Ann Eliza,
provided she goes without the ali
mony claimed.
To this arrangement of the affair
Ann Eliza does not give her sanction
and for a time appearances are that the
case will be brought before the courts
for adjustment, but the latest news
from the scene of this domestic dis
pute is that q compromise has been
effected and the case is to be stop
ped. If true it most certainly goes
far TO prove the assertion of Young
that the scheme was but an attempt
at black mailing; but be this as il
may it appears to us that the suit in
its inception is one of the most i'm
prudent and i'll based actions which
the Jurisprudence of the country can
show. That any claim for alimony
should be entertained by the courts
OF Utah in this case is in effect but
acknowledging the legality of polyg'

circumstances of Young's family
when she accepted the position of 10th
or 18th wife, and that any married
contract which she might thus enter
was by the law of the land null anc
void. Notwithstanding these facts she
willingly accepted the position o
concu. binage which Young Offered

that. During her so-called married

ON FAITH AND WORKS


Let us hear what the Apostle James says
about faith and works:
Sow me thy faith without thy works, and l
will show the my faith by thy works.
The Lord say S, Woe unto you Scribes, Phari.
sees, hypocrit you devour widows houses
for pretence make long prayers, we shall
receieve the greater damnation.
Here ~ the danger with all hireling priests
among all nations.
Pure religion is said to be without money
or price.
To pay hirel ings and keep meeting houses in
style and keep in fashion; it makes religion
of great price.
| SO it NAV be on the disease of the body.
| If we take q remedy worse than the disease
it will poison and kill the body.
! Let us look at the two ways of doctoring.
| believe to go to the great physician and the
vegetable Kingdom is the right way of doc
| toring.
Let us strive to have ourpeace made with God
and calling and election sure.
| The signs tell us plainly the second coming Of
the Lord is nigh even at the door.

LORD NELSON scarfs are imported for
the swells.
THE Elizabethan ruff continues very
fashionable.
BLACK satin quilted underskirts will
be worn next winter.
NEw-FAsHIoNED opera cloaks are made
similar to redingotes.
BLACK ostrich feathers are much used
in trimming new bonnets.
OxYDIzEp silver buckles, of antique
design, are all the rage.
WALKING suits of black silk are al
ways handsome and genteel.
VELvETEEN will not be worn next win
ter, save for street underskirts.
CoFFEE-CoLoRED note-paper, with ini-
tials stamped thereon, is the latest.
PROMENADE dresses are made just to
touch the ground behind, and show the
tip of the boot in front.
TORTOISE SHE'LL necklaces with lockets
or cross attached are very fashionable,
am every nine out of ten ladies have
one.
SAsHEs of heavy watered ribbon, half
a yard in width, are much worn and
very handsome. Peacock blue is one
color.
COMPARATIVELY few ladies wear white
skirts in the streets nowadays. Skirts
of black cashmere or mohairs are sub
stituted.
MoNoGRASIs have had their day, and
now it is the fashion to have your ini-
tials on note-paper, handkerchiefs,

Fashion i'm Jewels.

Already turquoises, so desired last
winter, have dropped out of favor, and
it is not to be wondered at. Only the
rage for undecided tints could ever have
made them popular and as that is want
ing, the liking for them wanes also.
Their mixed green-blue is becoming to
nobody, and their intrinsic worth not
being great, they will doubtless be cast
aside next season. Coral, in all its
lovely shades, is no longer the mode,
and charming sets atcost prices languish
unsold in their velvet cases. Coral,
though not precious stone, is one of
the prettiest and most useful of orna-
ments, since it can be appropriately
worn, both on ordinary and full dress
occasions. Plain gold ornaments are
passing out of fashion, not because they
are no longer pretty, but because they
have been so successfully initiated in
base metals that people are afraid of
being suspected of wearing French gilt.
The handsome gold sets are so expensive
that We think it better and cheaper in
the end to spend little more money
and buy set of coral, or jewels which
cannot be initiated, and of which one is
not so likely to grow weary.
The setting of jewels this year is in
the lightest possible framework of gold
called, We believe, the knife-blade
style-and a distinctive feature is the
separating of the jewels from each other
so that the light may strike through
from every side. This is far more
beautiful and artistic than the old form
of clusters, and is destined to high favor.
The marquise, or long oval, is the shape
most in vogue for rings, MS well as pins,
earrings and lockets, and it is particu-
larly becoming. Bracelets are no longer
mere golden shackles, but are inch and
a half bands i'll all manner of designs.
Chain and link bracelets, once the most
ADMIRED, are not now much worn.
