4 terrible accident occurred on the Michl
pan Central Railroad about l O'Clock on Fri
day morning of last week, short distance east
of Jackson, Mich. BY an objectionable piece
of carelessness switch engine was allowed to
remain on the main track at the time when
the western bound express train was due. The
train of course came along on time and col
nded with the engine, "telcscop;ng" three or
four passenger cars of the express train and
numbering the passengers by wholesale. On
Friday some 20 dead persons were taken from
the wreck and over fifty were badly, some ia
tally injured The excuse for leaving the
switch engine IN SO dangerous position was,
that the telegraph operator had told the train
master, who was using it in making up a
freight train, that the express was so minutes
behind time As the report was untrue, oil
course such an excuse will not relieve the rail-
road company of its responsibility, and it will
have heavy bill of damages to pay, to say
nothing Of the criminal prosecution which the
careless employees will have TO meet.

BIRDS

on, the beautiful birds they are lovely indeed;
They do fly through the air at a wonderful speed;
They pour forth their notes they sail through the sky
While their bright, handsome colors attract every eye
Some people cruel, and Kill the dear birds.
And then their sweet music no longer is heard
Thea let us refrain from this miserable strife,
LET them live and be happy though brief is their life
Some birds may be tanned, as the robin, the wren
They re afectionac pets when tanned rightyanG them!
Although II is winter and all birds have fed
our pet bird is singing, 30 happy and glad.
And when the cold winter comes steadily on
We remember in sadness the birds have all gone;
But we think when spring with her pattcring rain
And warm pleasant sunshine vel see them again.

SIX BUSINESS HOUSES DESTROYED BY FIRE
AT MILAN.
Special to the Appeal
MILAN, June 20.-At two o'clock yester-
day morning a FIRE broke out in Cooley's
drug store on Williams street, and soon, ow-
ing to the combustible material, the building
was in flames The alarm was soon given,
bat owing to the lack of water it soon caught
the next two stores on the north, occu-
pied by A. Jourdan & Co., dry goods, and E..
Stone, groceries. 1t then caught the brick
building on the south, known as the Luter
house, and occupied by DIR. James R. Harri-
son, M'Call & Rankin, and Rhodes & Ware,
lawyers. The whole were entirely destroyed.
The losses were as follows: Cooley's drug
store, on stock, $4,000; insurance, $500; part
of stock saved. E. Stone, groceries, $500;
insurance, 5000. A. Jourdan, dry goods,
$4,000; insurance, $1400 On stock. The
buildings were owned by A. Jourdan, were
not insured, and are total loss. The law
yers lost all their books and papers. none Of
which were insured. DR.. Harrison lost his
books and instruments. The fire was the
work of incendiaries, who also tried to set
FIRE to Davis's saloon, across the street, as a
pile of shavings were found in the back door
with charred match. 1t was reported that
two men were burned, but upon investiga'
ton 1T proved canard.

The New York World deserves the great
est credit for the successful manner In which
at has worked up the obelisk business. 1t
has had monopoly of it, thanks to the dis
erection with which 1t kept its own counsel
and the judicious manner IN which ito agents
labored Negotiations, it tells us, were be-.
gun eighteen months ago to secure the grand
obelisk now standing at Alexandria, Egypt,
and the khedive has presented this maGni6-
cent gift to the western world. The hbe-
rality Of a citizen OF New York has provided
for the transportation and setting up In some
conspicuous public spot of the monument,
and the transfer will be made with all possible
dispatch. 1t is twin 10 that obelisk recently
erected on the Thames embanknent, London,
and it's record runs back two thousand years,
to the time when two obelisks of rose-colored
syenite we're taken from the granite quar-
ries OF Syene, and planted before the temple
of the sun-god, at Heliopois, whence they
were taken to Alexandria during the reign
of Tberius, bat took their name from ira
dition that they were taken TO Alexandra in
the time of Cleopatra.

THE LETTER CARRIERS DEFICIENCY BILL.
The letter-carriers deficiency bill was re-
ported back to the senate to-day and placed
upon the calendar. The committee struck
out the entire amount, seventy-one thousand
dollars, voted by the house for the payment
of the increased salary to letter-carriers for
the current fiscal year under the reciassi6ca-
ton authorized by the act of last February,
and reduced the amount of four hundred
and fifteen thousand dollars provided by the
house for its payment and for increased sala-
RES and the extension OF the free delivery
service fer the next fiscal year to four hun
bred thousand dollars. The committee have
added to the bill for deficiency the sum of
one hundred thousand dollars to pay judg-
ments heretofore rendered by the court of
claims, and appropriates fifteen thousand
dollars to enable the general land office to
adjust and settle State claims for swamp
lands. Fhe last two amend ments were Of
fered by Senators Rollins and Cockren, re-
spectively, to the legislative and executive

Isaac is the lecherous beast whose excuses
compelled hasty flight from Boston and his
silence for some years. In politics he was
firsta bitter uncompromising Kuow-NothinR
and in Kansas, where he began life as a
preacher, for the second time he was a RadI-

he is the prOtege of Kearney. and of course

helped to burn the convent at Charlestown,
