Two soldiers in the British army had fgh,

and an attempt made to ascertain who struck

of them revealed a correspondence of a

Shocking Death of Prominent Rail-
way Official.

A serious railroad accident happened
on the 30th ult., three miles west of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, resulting in the
instant death of John B. Watkins,
General Superintendent of the Iowa
Division of the Chicago and North
western road. Albert Keep, President
of the road, Mr.. Watkins, and num-
Der of other prominent railroad men,
were travelling in a special car attached
to the Pacific express, going east, when
within three miles of Cedar Rapids the
engine broke down, and while the train
was at a halt freight train came thun-
dering along. Mr.. Watkins, hearing
the freight approaching, jumped from
his sleeping berth, calling upon Mr..
Keep and others to follow him. He
opened the door, and while standing on
the third step of the front platform of
the directors car, the trains collided,
and the platforms breaking to pieces,
Mr.. Watkins was crushed between the
Pullman and directors car, the iron
railing striking him just above the hips,
cutting his left leg nearly off just below
the trunk, and forcing out his bowels.
He lived about 20 minutes afterward,
and was conscious almost to the last.
He said to the porter in charge of the
car Isaac, can't you help me out Of
here, amt there noway to get me out ?"
Isaac gave him some brandy and water
to drink, put pillow under his head
as it rested among the splinters against
the broken door of the car, and in this
awful position the poor man gasped his
last breath, exclaiming at every gasp,
"Oh dear oh dear p The steps of
the car were covered with his LIES
blood. A large pool had collected on
the track underneath, and the snow for
a hundred feet back along the track was
crimsoned with his blood. When the
cars were pulled apart, which was four
hours after the collision had taken
place, his body was found to be nearly
cut in two, and his legs and thighs
hanging by shreds of skin from the
trunk of the body. Mr.. Keep also had
very narrow escape. He followed Mr..
Watkins on the platform, and was
thrown with great force through the
door of the Pullman car, receiving
many slight wounds on different parts
of the body. Mr.. Hughitt and The rest
of the party in the directors car also
had very narrow escapes.

Prayer Cures.

At the weekly meeting of the Method
list preachers at Wesleyan Hall this
forenoon, the efficacy of prayer was re-
ferred to in connection with the late
reported miracle" at Piermont, N.
H. The Rev. G. w. F. Clark
said he was personally acquainted with
Mrs. Sherman, on whom the miracle"
was performed, and had no doubt that
the reports published in the secular
papers of the day were true. The Rev.
Joshua Gill said he was personally ac-
quainted with the Rev. Mr.. Sherman
and his wife, who were devoted Chris
tians. He fully Endorsed the state
ments which had been published. The
venerable Father Merrill spoke at some
length on special answers to prayer. He
related two wonderful instances in
which the power and efficacy of prayer
were shown. In one case a lady who
was afflicted with a lameness in one
limb was cured after praying with
friends for a number of hours in the
other lady who had been an invalid
for number of years was entirely
cured, and went about the house sing
ing praises. Boston Herald.

Gen. L0ngstreet Said to BE Organizing
an Expedition Against Cuba, Backed
by the President.
New Orleans Cor. Louisville Couris

New Orleans Cor. Louisville Courier.l
1t is currently reported and believed
by many wel-informed parties that
Longstreet is now actively eng ged In
organizing an expedition for a descent
upon Cuba, and that he is doing it with
the knowledge and countenance, if not
acquisition of Cuba has always been a
favorite hope, not only with the political
leaders in Louisiana, but many even of
the most prominent and wealthiest bust
ness men have INDUCED it. When
Lopez undertook his expedition, a stock
company, in aid of the enterprise, was
organized, of which very many such
men were members, and subscribed lib
orally. They constituted the junta or
council, wherein were debated and de-
cided all matters pertaining, not alone
to the conduct of the campaign, but to
the subsequent policy to be adopted,
provided the expedition was successful.
The expeditionary force was recruited
and organized under the direction and
control of this council. The officers
were appointed by it, and it was, in all
respects, invested with supreme au-
thority. These parties doubtless ex-
pected to reap rich reward in the event
of success. They would have claimed
all the offices of trust and emolument"
in the new reconstructed Cuba, and it is
fair to presume that they anticipated
profitable return in kind upon their
outlay of capital Similar aid was
afforded the other expeditions which
have been projected. The members of
the Lopez junta would not, perhaps
feel inducements SO potent to exert
themselves in behalf of Cuban indie
pendence and annexation now as they
did then. The abolition of slavery
would strip the scheme of the features
which formerly recommended it most
strongly to them. Nor have they now
SC much spare cash for tempting, but
exceedingly doubtful, investments, as
this one certainly is, as in the good old
ante bellum times. There are plenty of
bold Yankee spectators, however, who
may think it a good thing, and the
President himself, with his judicous
eye to location and talent in the real
estate line, may find some eligible spot
there as we'll worth gobblement as

Mirage of the Moon.

The Toledo (Ohio) Commercial re-
lates the following extraordinary phe-
nomenon:
A sight very rarely seen was witnessed
from this city yesterday forenoon, Oct.
10. The morning was one of the
brightest sunlight, with sky remarka-
bly, clear. About $50 our attention
was called to what at first sight was
taken for the moon, the only thing APP
pearing remarkable being its unusual
brightness in this presence of such clear
sunlight. The appearance was in a
northwesterly direction, and at an angle
of 45 degrees from the horizon. A sec
ond thought, however, showed that the
moon had set about two hours previous,
and, of course, was then far below The
horizon.
The mystery was at once solved by
the reflection that what was seen was
simply a looming or mirage of the
moon. Such phenomena in the case of
shipping and other objects in connection
with larger bodies of water and extern
sive plains are frequently seen but we
never before heard of this kind. Occur
ring, as it did, over the land, and some
distance from the lake, makes it the
more remarkable. The neon was near
its last quarter, and its lines were most
distinctly drawn, though upon careful
examination something like tremulous-
ness could be observed.
The explanation of the mystery is IA
miliar with all students in astronomy
and atmospheric phenomena. TWAS an
optical illusion, due to unequal densi-
ties and refracting powers of adjacent
strata in the air. Sometimes the opera
ton is simply refraction or bending of
the rays of light in their passage from
one strata to another while at others,
the angle and relation of strata being
favorable, there is perfect reflection,
as from a mirror. In the present case
it had more the appearance of a refec-
ton. This phenomenon is oftner OBJ
served in the morning, for the reason
that the atmosphere near the surface of
the water or the land retains its heat
through the night, and hence is rarer
than the strata above. Thus RAYS of
light, as in this case of the moon, is
passing from the rarer to the denser
medium are refracted or reflected, ac-
cording to the inclination of the angle
and the relative densities of the strata.
Many curious cases of mirage are re-
corded. Capt. Scoresby, in 1922,
saw the ship Fame at distance of
seventeen miles beyond the visible
horizon of the observer. In 1906 the
whole of Dover was seen at Ramsgate,
England, though ordinarily only the
tops of the highest spires were in sight.
From Sandusky, Ohio, the islands and
shipping on the lake have frequently
doomed up ten to fifteen degrees above
the horizon of the observer while the
Canada shore could be seen with glass.
Travellers on the plains IF the West have
observed like phenomena. But the
presentation of the moon, as in the pres
ent case, has not before been known to
us. At all events, it was remarkable
and highly interesting phenomenon.

1t is not generally known that under
the provisions of its ancient charter the
Governor and the corporation of the
Bank of England are obliged not only to
purchase at their fair value sny precious
metals rendered to them, but also to
take charge of any gold or silver, in in
gots or plate, that may be brought to
them for safe-keeping. From time to
time plate chests haze been deposited
with this view in the vaults of the bank,
and many of them have been there so
long that they are actually rotting away.
On a recent occasion the servants Of the
bank discovered chest, which, on be-
ing moved, literally fell to pieces. On
examining the contents quantity OF
massive plate was discovered of the
period of Charles /. This circumstance
might not in itself be very interesting,
but that there was found with the plate

Fashion Notes.

THE "belt and buckle" mania is on
the wane.
In Paris wristlets of antiquated lace
are fashionable.
ELIzABETHAN ruffs of black silk lined
with pink satin are new.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. fashionable in
1777 are revived this season.
THE newest walking suits are shorter
and scantier than heretofore.
IT doesn't matter much whether your
new bonnet has strings or not.
BLACK cloth sacques, heavily braided,
are comfortable and fashionable.
FLOWERS in the rim of bonnets, in
stead of face trimming, is the rule
A SORT of modified or dwarf stove
pipe hat is worn by some of the bellies.
ALL hats must turn up on the left
side. If they don't, be sure to pin
'em.
WICKED people say many of the par
Tor mantel ornaments are used on the
new bonnets.
BLACK velvet sashes are always SER
viceable, and no daughter in the family
should be without one.
PANIERs have had their day and are
seldom worn. The same may be said
with truth of hoop skirts.
A FAvoRITE style of trimming dresses
is of two or three shades of the color

made.
SIX and eight button kid gloves,
extending up the arm as far as the
elbow, will continue the fashion for full
Dress
HIGH combs after the Spanish style
are much worn. The new style of
wearing the hair makes the combs orna-
mental.
THE ladies appear to have taken the
front breadths out of their overskirts
and sewed them on the same garment
behind.
Lone trained skirts of black silk, cut
IN battlement pattern around the button
and bound with black velvet, are very
stylish.
STEEL ornaments, such as stars,
darts, arrows, etc.. are called into re-
QUESTION in connection with bonnet
building.
DIAMOND powder for the hair was
found so injurious to the eyes and hair
that few ladies in society have the cour-
age to use it.
SOME of the new jewelry is very pref
ty. Simple lobe ear-rings-the palmer
the better-are the fashion. Contract
ors' wives and daughters have just now
the monopoly of diamonds.
SMALL mufs suspended from around
the neck with cord or ribbon, will be
fashionable next winter among the
bellies. Our grandmamas and maiden
aunts will air, as usual, their ac-sinaiteS
in fur or base drums.
