FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.

PEORIA, Dec. 11.-Last night q fright
track short distance below Bush q
Browns distillery. The circumstances OF
the sad affair are as follows: social
gathering of some sort was held mt the
who attended were Jacob Paul,
young man about 23 years Of
age. and Miss Mary NIiltner.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Miss Miltne
started for home with Mr.. Paul as her
escort They walked down the rail-
road on the P, P. s. J. track, and
after they had gone a short distunee,
they saw the P, p, s. j. train
due here at 10 O'Clock, coming towadrs
them Then they stepped over to the C.,
B. S O. track and were struck by the st.
Louis special which leaves here at os45s
Both were knocked down, Miss Miltner
being instantly killed. Her body was hor-
ribly mutilated. Paul fell outward as the
pilot struck him, but his left leg was crush
ed under the remorseless wheels, and am
putation will be necessary. He received
other injuries, and it is hardly probable
that he will be able to pull through. The
engineer of the c., B. & @. brought his
train to halt as soon as possible, an6
Paul and the body of the young lady wer'
placed in the baggage car and taken to- tn,

somewhat exhilarated he declared that
Don Cameron had been willing to have

from his bosses, Grant and Conkling, In

The Man Who Meant Well.

A few days since periodical dealer
was returning from Boston and was
seated in q car in which there were
many vacant seats. Before rim sat q
well.dressed lady, and beside her on
the seat was small sachel. When the
train reached Andover the lady rose to
depart. and as she approached the door
of the car the philanthropic dealer in
periodicals noticed that the sachel still
remained on the seat she had vacated.
Surprising that it was her property, he
hastily seized it, and rushing to the
door, politely handed it to the lady just
as She was stepping from the car. She
acceptedit, and the train moved on. AS
the train approached the Lawrence
north depot gentleman who had been
seated in the forward end of the car
went toward the seat formerly Occu-
pied by the lady. He looked upon and
under it, and examined other seats in
the immediate vicinity, and appeared
greatly disturbed. The man of period
icals, noticing his excited manner, in
quired if he had lost anything. and
was much surprised and chagrined to
learn that the sachel he had given to
the lady At Andover was the property
of the excited individual, and, more
over, contained valuable papers and .
large SUM Of money. The gentleman
took the next train for Andover to
search for his missing property. but with
what success he met has not been ascer-
tanned. 1t may be, however, that he
gained possession of his sachel. Is moth
Ing further has been heard from him.

The Autopsy Of the Body Of the Late
President,
ELBERoN, N. j., Sept mber 20.

ELBERoN, N. j., Sept mber 20.
The following official bulletin was pre-.
pared at eleven tonight by the surgeons
who have been in attendance upon the late
Pre- sident:
"By previous arrangement the post
mortem examination of the body of Presi-
dent Garfield was made this afternoon in
the presence and with the assistance of Drs.
Hamilton, Agnew, Bliss, Barnes, Wood.
ward, Reyburn, Andrew II. Smith, of
Elberon, and Acting Assistant Surgeon D.
s. Lamb, of the Army Medical Museum Of
Washington.
[" The operation was performed by DR..
Lamb.
''It was found that the ball, after tract
uring the right eleventh rib, had passed
through the spinal column, In front of the
spinal canal, fracturing the body of the first
lumbar vertebra, driving number of small
fragments of bone into the adjacent soft
parts, and lodging just below the pancreas,
about two inches and q half to the left of the
spine, and behind the peritoneum, where 1t
had become completely encysted.
"The immediate cause Of death was Sec
ondary hemorrhage from one of the mesen-
trio arteries adjoining he track Of the ball,
the blood rupturing the peritoneum and
nearly pint escaping into the abdominal
cavity.
"This hemorrhage is believed to have been
the cause of the severe pain in the lower
part Of the chest complained OF just before
death:
IAN abscess cavity, six inches by four In
dimensions, was found in the vicinity of the
gall bladder, between the liver and the
transverse colon, which were strongly inter-
adherent. 1t did not involve the substance
of the liver, and no communication was
found between it and the wound.
''Along the suppuration channel ex-
tended from the external wound between
the loin muscles and the right kidney al
most to the right groin. This channel is
now known to be due to the burrowing of
the pus from the wound. 1t was supposed
during life to have been the track of the ball.
ION examination Of the organs Of the
chest evidences Of severe bronchitis were
found on both sides, with broncho:pneti-
aud, though to much less extent, Of the
left.
"The lungs contained no assesses and
the heart no clots.
'.The liver was enlarged and fatty, but
free from assesses, nor were any found in
any other organ except the left kidney,
which contained, near its surface, . small
abscess about one-third of an inch in diam
eter.

Stylish Wool Suits.

Fine wooden costumes are now con-
sidered as choice as those Of silk, and
are in especial favor when made of
French cashmere in combination with
MORE or plush, and sometimes all three
materials are combined in one dress.
The basque or the pointed waist and
lead shades, seal brown, golden brown,
brick-dust red, porcelain blue, bronze
or myrtle green, with a preference for
brown and green very distinctly
marked; the MORE box-plaited skirt or
that of plush is of the same shade as the
corsage. and a single color prevails
throughout the dress. The trimming
preferred is the open embroidery done
on the cashmere, and only small
quantity of this is needed. as it is con-
fined to the front Of the drapery and to
trimming the basque. A pretty de-
sign for cashmere and MORE skirts has
six plaits of the cash mere, three on
each side, meeting in the middle of the
front; beside this is MORE panel three
fingers broad, with chenille fringe at
the foot, and further along the sides is
a side-p!aited cashmere panel of five
plaits, with two bands of MORE at the
foot, while behind is a draped CASH
mere breadth with the ends concealed.
Some panier folds of cashmere bor-
dered with MORE are across the hips,
and the basque has a MORE vest front
and two box plaits at the back. Other
cashmeres have the point ed corset-fitted
waist, very long and sharp, with two
MORE piping cords as its finish, and
Saxon embroidery Of cashmere on the
edge. A Erectoire basque OF myrtle
green cashmere has the deep notched
collar of changeable green and red
plush, with a plush plastron and red
vest. while the Kilt skirt has no drapery
except a single cluster of curved
plaits of cashmere sewed in the side
seams and crossing the back breadth
only. Laced girdles o: MORE with two
points in front and behind are on the
shirred ahd plated waists of cashmere
basques worn by girls and very young
ladies.
New cheviot suits have silk braid
bindings instead of stitching, and are
made of small checks or blocks of two
contrasting colors, or else of striped
pattern. The waists are double-breast-
ed basques. round like gentlemen's
morning coats, or ease they are close
French sacques with box plaits set on
to represent the popular hunting jack
cts. The plaits and belts are narrower
on French jackets than on the English
styles in vogue here. The skirts are
mock kits, tn It is, with deep kilt-plait-
ing set on foundation skirt of silk, and
the Srapery has wrinkled apron front
and bouffant back. -Harper's BGzar.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

The sum of $4,000 was recently
secured In New York City for the aid OF
the Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary. Toward this two ladies each con-
tributed $4,000.
The Rev. David Burt, Superintend-
cot OF Public instruction in Minnesota,
disabled by disease, has resigned, and
Prof.. ID: L. Kiehle, Principal of the
State Normal School at St. Cloud,
Mimi, is appointed his successor.
"A number of teachers institutes
have lately been held in West Virginia.
and teachers and citizens alike showed
an enthusiastic desire to learn new
methods. High schools are increasing
in the State.
I'm the German Reformed Church a
movement prevails to some extent for
the restoration of the order of deacon
esses as it is believed to have existed in
apostolic times. There are conflicting
opinions as to the details, but the ma
jority in favor of the movement is said
to be powerful.
Moody continues his opposition to
church fairs. When asked how to Sc
cure genuine revival of religion, he
answers, "Put aside all those distract
ing church fairs" When asked as to
the best manner of training new con-
verts. he says, First keep them out Of
fairs.
Complaint is made in Philadelphia
that the salaries of the public school
teachers are inadequate, and it is said
that the most competent teachers are
resigning. Last year in the public
schools of that city there were 1885
women teachers and but u men, the
average annual salary amounting to
$4S6. IA.

have been unfortunate enough to marry
wealthy women, and it has destroyed
their usefulness in the church they rep.
resent. Brethren who are OH the look

ministers wives should remember this
and give the poor girls chance. Rich

laymen have these.
