from bis cab window, he sigualled to q
friend in the ladies coach, who was looking
ahead, and pointing to the water which was
coursing through the bitches, shook bis head,
as if to say. II do not like it." But the
train did not slacken its speed. In q mo.
ment the crash broke in upon the buzzing of
the car wheels. Passengers were jolted out
of their seats, and some, who turned their
heads, saw the massive thirty.two ton engine
roll over and over like q child's playthinp.
The two front cars we're thrown from the
track thanks to the automatic brake the hin.
dermost car was checked in time aud did not
leave the rails. What injuries were inflicted
on the passengers we're very slight, and they
were soon outside and upon the ground. To
take the situation was the work of moment.
The engine was upright on its wheels at the
foot of the embankment, not parallel with
the track, but at right angles with it. 1t had
made two revolutions in its descent. The top
of the cab was crushed down, the smoke stack
was gone and likewise the bell. The locomo-
tive was covered with mud, but was stand.
ing upright upon its wheels and was tenant
less. The fireman was soon found at con-
siderable distance from the track. He was
standing in the tender, when the crash came,
and he, with the wood in the tender, was hurled
far from the line and escaped with painful
bruises, but not serious in juries The en-.
gineer could not be found. and search for him
was at tonce instituted. This was for some time
pursued without avail, but by and by foot
was seen protruding from the earth. 1t was
even so. He had been literally and entirely
driven into the earth, head, body, arms and
legs. He was dragged out with all possible
speed and carried into one of the cars The
mud was removed, as best it could be done,
from his ears, eyes. nose and mouth the
blood spurted from his ears and be gasped
three times and died. The track was torn to
pieces for distance of fifty yards or more.
Trains on both roads are running from ter
minal points to the wrecks and transferring
passengers and mail. ''.

NEWEST FASHIONS.
Nov lilies at Home ana Ahrssa.

A drol lancy lately developed at ccs-
tune balls--which, by the way, are In
high favor abroad at the present time
promises to be quite the fashion. This
consists OF travestying the head only, and
produces, as may be imagined, both gro
iesque and frightful effects, the ordinary
ball toilets appearing in violent contrast
with the parodied polls rising out of
them.
Among the more pleasing delneations
was that of "The Marvellous Cat" in
which the head of a fine specimen of the
feline race was seen peeping from out the
powdered coifiure of lady robed a Ia
mode. This same idea was illustrated on
another occasion, when entire travesty
was the rule, with dress of white satin,
bordered about with soft white fur and
gloves and shoes, with claw.like termina-
lions, added. The fancy for arraying
themselves as actresses has likewise po5-
Sc ssed the fashionable world, and ladi Z
are actually copying not only the co
tunes but the characteristics Of their
models
Gauze scarfs which are draped in many
different styles are in vogue now, and
there have been several novel adapta-
tions OF them recently. A remarkable
specimen worn on the occasion Of Miss
Roosevclt's wedding. over rich toilet Of
white satin. was OF pale-blue Rauze--a
tint known as moonlight--and richly en-
broidered with a shower Of snow-balls,
the fringe composed of artificial flowers
to match. Another unique one, OF the
same shade of blue. was alive with the
designs Of flying swallows
In evening shoes the novelty consists
in wearing the buckle and bow at the
side and not in the centre Of the foot
This will hardly prove more than pass
ing whim, as it detracts from the SYM
mctry and adds TO the size Of the feet.
Delicate shades for evening wear have
gained at last the victory over dark hues,
and cardinal red Is already thing Of the
past. GRAY is the prevailing color among
spring woollen fabrics, which are show
ing goodly supply of exceedingly fine
checks.

Secrets Of the Cigar Trade.

II Ia a well-known fact that hard times
first affect the dealers In luxuries. In
the cigar trade there has been large de-
crease In sales, and cigarettes have grown
in popular favor. Dealers say that first
class cigarettes can be smoked at q less
expense than poor cigars. The sale OF
cigarettes until year and half ago was
an unimportant item In trade, and they
were kept more a. q matter Of convent
ence for fashionable people than ~ proht.
able investment. Heretofore there
were only few brands, and the maiori.
ty were of foreign manufacture. Now
one hundred and twenty-one different
brands Rnd ready sale in the market,
thirds of which have been hnanufac-
tured within the past eighteen mouths.
Retail dealers state that their trade in
this line has increased two hundred pei
cent. during the past year. They be-
lieve that the habit Of smoking tobacco In
this form Is resorted to n matter of econo
my as Is also plainly shown Ivy theft that
old customers who were wont to purchast
cigars of ssuperior quality are now con-
tent with those OF an inferior grade
Cigar manufacturer on the contrary
deny that cigarettes are taking the place
of ciga $, and while admitting the great
increase IN the sale Of cigarettes, regard
it as a fashion among smokers, and not a
matter Of economy. They further de
clare that the greatest economy Is shown
by the trade In the purchase Of interior
cigars. The high priced cigars once
largely sold, are now manu- iactured in
smaller quantities owing to the hard
times. This does not include the very
finest quality of Havana cigars, which
were heretofore obtained almost exclu-
sively from abroad. Their manufacture
is now carried on In the country and TO
great extent has usurped the trade
formerly confined to Havana and Key
West, because here they can be made
and sold much cheaper. The manufac-
turers at those places are said to have
become greatly alarmed at the increas.
ing trade in fine cigars in this country.
Domestic manufacturers affirm In relation
TO the prevailing custom Of cigarette
smoking, that 1t Is injurious because GER
tain poisonous ingredients are used in
preparing the paper of which the suter
covering is made.
Statistics at Washington show very
large decrease in comparison with that Of
the previous year. According to the
bureau of statistic, the TRIAL number of
cigars and cher upon which the in.
ternal revenue tax was paid during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1876, was L.
S28, ,S07 1896. This is a decrease Of near
ly $4,000. 900 cigars from the year pre-
vious. The amount of cigars, manufac-
tured and imported, in this country dur.
ing the year 1875 reached nearly 2,000,-
0O0,000. The value Of imported cigars
consumed In the United States during
1875 amounted to $3.50, ,7l2.S0 and OF
snuff to 18,470.-N Y Tribune.

In the senate on the 10th, the house
amendments to the consular and diplomatic
appropriation bill were concurred in, and
the bill passed. At the expiration of the
morning hour, consideration OF the bill to

companies was resumed. Mr.. Chaffee sub.
