Railroad Accident -froviilential E .capo.
The southern bound train on the G.
Z. ~. Il. H., or Saturday uight had
providcntial escape from destruction
That Afternoon there was heavy
rain storm on tho limo of tho road
above Chester. On that portion of
road there is long low cmLankmcnt
several hundred yards long, with a
culvert at each cad. Tho crlverts be.
came chokcd with trash ard tho waters
rose ill they washed ever tho cm-
bankmcnt. Finally tho cu'vorts were
blown out, and two chasms, each Of
about ten feet in width, were fo,me,l
under the track. The section master
left hand to warn the trains of dan.
ger, but he became intoxicutcd and
left his post. At ii p. NJ. tho train
came daahiag by, and before the en-
ginecr was aware Of danger, the whole
train passed over the chasm. The
train hss stopped, and on cxamina-
tlon it was found that tho stringcrs
supporting the track had their ends
resting on either bank. Over this
the whole train had passed. The sec.
tion master then appeared and gave
notice Of the othor wash out. This
was examined and it was discovered
that the joints i'll tho stringers with
immediately over tho wash. Had tho
engine gotten on this, the whole
train would have tcen wrecked. -
Several hours were consumed in re-
pairing the damage. From the state
mcnts furnished US, the section mas
ter and train hands were guilty of
criminal carelcssNess and should be
punished.

lIarriSburg'S Fascinating Woman.

In Harrisburg there is fascinating
woman who has been married four
times within ten years. and there are
at least i dozen Lncn SO anxious to get
her that they have renancd bachc.
lorS in the hope that her last husband
would follow in the footsteps Of his
illustrious predecessors. Sure enough,
a few weeks ago the man died, and
all these fellows began Immediately
to prepare for opening the campaign
ag; inst the widow.
Onc man, named Hyde, determined
to have the first chance so he jam.
med himself into tho widows carriage
OIL the way home from, the funeral.
Taking her hand and looking with
tender glanccs upon tho handkerchief
into which she sobbcd her dutiful
toars, he asked her to be his--tc
let him tako the place of the dear
departed, and to comfort her in her
bereavement. The. widow removed
her handkerchief, blew her nose gent
ly, and said:
"Alr. Hyde, should gladly conaid-
er your offer, and perhaps I might
have accepted it, but you arc too late:
tho minister proposed to me in tho
grave yard while you we're lowering
tho coffin, and l snid 'Yes = But |
will tell you what will do I'll give
you the first chance after hc dies ="
Mr.. Hyde said he would wait.
"Mrs. Jinks," said a little red
headed girl, with PUG nose and bare
feet, "M other says you will oblocgc
her by lcndin' her stick Of firc-wood,
fill this cluct with vinegar, putin
a little soft soap in this pan and
please not let Your turkey gobblefs
roost on our fence"

On last Saturday afternoon and evening
the members of Rushtaboo Lodge, No.
$50, Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
OF Haskins, held their first anniversary.
The programme laid out for the occasion
called for pleasant, social and intellect
ull entertainment, and was executed In
manner highly satisfactory to the Frater'
nifty and their invited guests.
At 8 p. NJ. the exercises opened with
an able address from w. G. EARL, of To-
ledo, Secretary of the Grand Lodge OF
Ohio, in which he fully vindicated the
Order from the narrow prejudices Of some
people against all secret societies.
This address was followed by we'll
timed discourse upon the same subject by
s. II. FAIRcHILD, Il o., of Bowling
Green. Mr.. F. Is an enthu siastic admrer
of the Order, and gave both time and
means to start Lodge at McComb, Han.
cock county, a number Of years aS,,
which Is now In existence and In flOut-
ishing condition.
At the conclusion of the exercises at
the church all repaired to the Hall b.
meath the Lodge 70 )m where a COLLATION.
was spread that did ample credit to the
lady friends of the . O.der who were en-
gagged in it. After all were fully satisfied
that justice had been "meated" out to
them in this respect, the tables were clear
ed from the room, music sent for, and ur-
