Accident by Fire.

Every reader of this paper knows
the frequency with which the press
is called upon to chronicle the loss of
life, the painful accidents and the
destruction of property by fires, caused
in so many cases by the grossest care
lessness. 1t should, therefore, be the
constant aim of every one to guard,
with the utmost care, against the
possibility thereof. At recent fire
in Washington, Mr.. j. T. Greaves,
of the Fire Department, met with
an accident, spraining his wrist so
severely as to render it altogether
useless. This gentleman says, 81 was
promptly cured by two applications
of Keller's Roman Liniment, and
this is the cleanest, most prompt and
efficacious remedy | have ever used
or known" AS "A household, article,
to be resorted to in cases of accidents
and pain, nothing in this world equals
or even approaches it.

and at the time of her death had been
consistent and useful member, in
Virginia, in Baltimore and then In
Oakland, Md, for 46 years.
She was II years old when she gave
her feart to Christ. She was the
first one Of large, wealthy and in
tluential connection who took her
ctand by the Cross of Emmnnuel.
Her early piety was blessed to her
own parents and many Of her rela-
tives some OF whom and their de-
scendents are now pillars in the
Church of God.
She was a beautiful type of the
purest and best thing on earth, viz:
the Christian woman. The writer of
these lines has known her for 81
years, and amid many of the chang
ing phases of life, and he can truly
say he never met her superior in the
true adOrnment of meek and lovely
Christian spirit.
AS wife, as mother, as mistress, as
a friend and neighbOr, her great
value was enhanced by the beauty of
the Christian virtues which slione
with mildness and constancy in all
these relations. She had lost three
OF her children years ago, and her
affections had been sanctified and
her spirit was softened and mellOwed.
In her latter days in her home in
Oakland, Md, her heart and hand
Joined in the work of establishing
and building up new PRESBYTERIAN
Church. She might without eXag-
geratiOn be called the mother of the
Oakland Church.
In her declining health she suffered
great pain and distress of body.
These she bore not only without
murmur, but with a cheerful, thank
full heart. For two years of her de-
cline her sick room was the most
cheerful place in her husbands
house.
She leaves husband oppressed by
sorrow and by years to mourn her
loss. Also a devoted son, in i'll
health, and two married daughters,
who are weighted down under this
affiiction. May the grace which so
abounded i'll the life, and in the
sickness, and in the death of the wife
and the mother, be vOuchsafed to her
husband and her children.
The sorrow of Oakland for her
death, and its sympathy for her be-
loved husband and children will not
be forgotten there. We will all re-
gard her memory as one regardeth
the sweetness of ointment.

Douglas Again Escapes.

On last Thursday it was discovered
that w. 5. Douglas, convicted of the
murder of IIiser, the mail CARR r,
aud confined in the Jail at Grant
Courthouse, West Virginia, had es
capped. 1t is supposed some one had
furnished him with keys, as on
previous occasion Wien he escaped.
Alter he had unlocke his cell door
he went into the upper story of the
iaiI and thence lowered himself to
the ground by means of rope made
of his blanket. He had large iron
hObble on one of his legs when he
escaped. 1t will be remembered that
Douglas was sentenced last fall to
confinement in the penitentiary for
life, and that he was being kept in
Grant county Jail pending the hear
ing of an appeal by the supreme
court, his counsel having obtained a
suspension of sentence. A number
of persons at once started in search of
the fugitive, but at last accounts he
had not been re captured.- Cuna6er-

the fish on the plate before him dis
appeared, it was evident that he had
eaten fish before. 1t was plain that he
was no novice at the business. In
addition to the family and ours, Ives,
there was "wayfaring man." whom
they called doctor" and a young
hopeful, who from his looks and
manners, must have been a near re-
latiOn of the doctor. When our host
spoke of supper for us, they gave
him to understand that they, too,
were supperless, and would like to
come to the feast. We think they
spoke the words of truth and sober
ness, for when they got to the table
they were terribly in earnest. Had
it not teen that there was bounti-
full supply, the rest of us might have
come out in the short rows. Follow
ing the teaching of the Bible, to "eat
what is set before you, asking no
questions for conscience sake" and
being as fond of fish as of chick ems,
and being inspired, perhaps. by the
earnestness manifested around the
table, we "pitched in" and did
ample justice to the subject. Fad it
been an eating match, it might have
been difficult to determine who was
entitled to the prize. But we all did
well, and felt better for what we had
done. We felt like an Irishman
with whom we once rode in a stage
coach. 1t was ten o'clock in the day
before we could get any breakfast,
and every passenger was hungry and
silent. After breakfast the Irishman
broke the silence by saying: "Faith,
mon, what good humor a bit of good
breakfast puts into a fellows face"
During this time of general good
feeling, produced by the eating ex-
ercise, the wedding came the bride
and groom made their appearance,
having walked two miles through
the darkness and over a rough road
and yet from the pleasing looks of
each they must have walked on
"fowery beds of ease" Well, they
promised to be true and kind to each
other, and having tied the knot as
fast as we could, and having previ-
ously refreshed our prancing steeds
as well as ourselves, we were home
ward bound. Two young men, with
a lantern showed us "a nearer cut"
the distance back not more
than nine miles. They led us through
the darkness and the brush, some
times rocks, till we reached the big
road, the good old way we had gone,
and then left us to "homeWard plOd
our weary way" We reached "the
desired haven" a little after mid
night, ha wing learned, like the phi
losOphcr's mouse, that there are
other places in the world beside
where we live, and that variety is
tue spice of life" 1t was ten miles
there, and nine miles back, and two
for the bride and groom to come, and
if we are correct in our addition,
these figures sum up twenty one
miles; and taking into the account
the time it took us so come and go,
and wait, we call that a long we'd
ding.
