A Miners Romance.


At Amhes. College, in the class of '53,
there we're two chums, who had stuck tc-
gether ever since they had first entered col
lege. They were fast friends and no
trouble had ever disturbed their friendship.
One was the son of rich parents and the
other of a country minister. When they
graduated, the rich mans son went into
business with his father in New York and
took his friend with him as an employee.
Things went smoothly for some time,
when that common accident of life happen
ed-they both fell in love with the same
gill. The fight in the heart of the employee
was long and bitter, but contrasting his
position with that of his friend, the differ
once in the advantages he could offer the
woman, he yielded, and with scarce
word of parting, with none of explanation,
heieft New York and went West. A year
afterwards found him in San Francisco,
and he soon joined the gold diggers. His
fortune was varied-at times rich, at times
silver mining and when the silver craze
struck Leadville he went there. There he
was successful, and this spring, rich
man, he determined to return East for the
first time in twenty-four years. Yester-
day, as he got off the southwestern train at
Wilton, Iowa, and went to get on the
main line train, which was to carry him to
Chicago, lady who was trying to turn a
seat attracted his attention. Stepping for
ward to help her, he first looked with won
der, then, joy to see that it was thewoman
he had run away from SO long ago, a
woman now past forty but handsome
yet. lie talked to her timidly at first,
and uncertain. When he learned that she
was yet unmarried his questions came
faster yet, and her present condition was
soon known to him. Her parents had died,
and, depending on her own eXertions for
support, she had taught school, and at
present was principal of school in West
ern Iowa. The old love still lived in the
miners heart, and he soon found that he
had not been entirely forgotten by her.
To make long story short, it was very
happy looking couple who got off the train
here last night, looking for minister, and
still happier one which registered at the
Sherman as Mr. and Mrs. Shearburn,
Leadvile, Colorado Washington Post.

The Worst Railroad Accident on Record

CITY OF MEXICO, June 27.-The f,low-
the accident on the Morelos Railway. A
temporary bridge over chasm near NAL
pals, on the recntly-opened Morelos Rail
way, was washed away, and train carry
ing the Third battalion of Infantry plung-
ed down the abyss. For some time past
the district where it occurred has been
swept by fierce storms, swelling the creek
into torrents and laying waste many fertile
fields. The bridge spanning the river at
the point mentioned, although known to be
unsafe, was still in use when the fated
train bearing a battalion of soldiers at
temped its passage. The result was a
crash as the undermined supports gave
way, and the engine ard cars were hurled
headlong down the chasm. In the freight
vans, comprising portion Of the train was
consignment of alchohol. This took fire,
and the consequent explosion contributed
much to the loss Of life. The few who es-
to the rescue of their unfortunate COM
rades, but it was some hours before the ex-
act extent of the disaster became apparent.
1t is now known that thirteen officers and
one hundred and ninety-two privates were
either killed outright by the fall or roasted
TO death, while fifty others sustained hurts
of more or less serious character The
train was entirely consumed.
The latest accounts of the disaster on
the Morelos Railroad report that II officers
and 1877 privates We're killed. This list
does not include the railroad officials and
employees or the women and children of the
soldiers, many of whom were on the train.
Only sixty persons in all were saved
alive, and of those forty are more or less
Injured.
