that it would require pages of newspa-
pers to chronicle the names of subscri-

fully one hundred thousand persons
have sent their one-cent contributions
to the news paper Offices in the various
cities where the indignation of the peo-
pie has taken that form of expression.
In Cincinnati alone nearly sixty thou
sand persons have subscribed, while in
Cleveland, Columbus and Pittsburgh
the subscriptions will aggregate not
less than fifteen thousand. The sub
scriptions to the Cook fund at the

A GIRL OF GRIT.
Cra,oling 400 Feet Across Railroad
Bridge at Night and Through
a Tempest to Saue Train
from Wreck.


On last Wednesday night, says the
Ogden { Iowa. Reporter of July Is,
when O'Neil, Donahue and Olmstead
went down to death, a noble GIRL but
Is years of age, was watching and
praying for those whose duty called
them out over the railroad in the fear.
full storm. Kate Shelly, whose faith
er was killed on the railroad some
years ago, lives with her mother just
on the east side of the river, and near
ly opposite where the engine made the
fearful plunge and Donahue and Ohm
stead lost their lives Miss Shelly and
her mother heard the crash and, realiz-
ing what had happened, Kate took a
lantern, and, amid the hurricane Of
wind, the deluge of water, the inces-
SAINT glare of the lightning, and peal
upon peal of thunder, left her home
and started for the wreck Her light
soon went out, but she felt her way
through the woods and fallen timbers
to the edge of the dashing waters that
covered the drowned men, She could
hear, above the roar of the tempest,
the voice of Wood, the engineer, who
had caught in a tree top. She knew
that the express, with its load of pas
sengers, was nearly due, and none to
warn them of their danger. She, a
young girl, was the only living being
who could prevent an awful catastro-
phe The telegraph Office at Moingona
or Boone, was the only place where she
could notify the officers To Boone
was five miles over hills and through
the woods, and before she could get
there the express would have passed.
To Moingona was only mile, but be-
tween there and Moingona was the
Des Moines river, ten or fifteen feet
above its natural height, and to cross
this she must pass over the railroad
bridge, fifty feet above the rushing
waters. She must cross the bridge
400 feet long with nothing but the
ties and rails, the wind blowing gale,
and the foaming, seething. muddy
waters beneath. Rot one man in a
thousand but would have shrunk from
such task Not one man in FIVE hum
dred would have gone over at any
price. or under any circumstances.
But this brave, noble girl, with the
nerve of a giant, gathered about her
her flowing skirts, and on hand and
knees crawled over the long, weary
bridge. Tie after tie was passed. 1t
was time for the express train to come
dashing over the bridge, and to hurl
her down to death amid the dark and
muddy waters of the roaring, rushing
river The blood from her lacerated
knees has stained her dress, but she
does not falter. She reaches the shore,
and the remaining halfmile she flies,
almost, to the telegraph Office. Breath
less, and in broken accents, she tells
her tale of death and destruction, and
faints in the arms of the bystandcrs.
The wires were set at work and q
more horrible disaster averted. a

BAD OUTLOOK FOR PEACH
ES.

In the old peach growing section of
Newcastle county, Del, there are alb
solutely no peaches whatever In a
county which, in previous years, pro-
duced upward of 1000, 600 baskets,
and shipped upward of 100 car loads
day, there will not be more than one
car load to be shipped on any one day
during the entire season and perhaps
1000 baskets will be all that will be
grown there. 1t is even doubtful if
from the entire State ofDelaware there
will be single daily shipment of one
full car load of really ripe peaches.
There will be, it is claimed, 10000
baskets of peaches grown in Sussex
county, in the neighborhood of Lewes.
Our correspondent, however, could find
no one there who expected any more
good peaches that they would need for
family use. There are good many
natural or ungrafted peach trees in
this section which may furnish good
many peaches for the market, but even
adding this natural and uncultivated
crop in estimating. it is exceeding
doubtful if there will be half of the TO-
900 baskets looked for. There will be
a few peaches and some good ones
shipped from Worcester county, Md,
but most of them will come in next
week, as they are of the Hall and
Troth varieties. A drive of upward of
forty miles through this country did
not reveal half a dozen trees that were
anything like full, while many thous-
and of trees were seen without peach
on them. In fact, if there aye any
quantity of peaches at all in the penin-
sula, they are TO be found in Kent,
Queen Ann and Cecil counties, Md,
over near the waters of the Chesapeake
Bay. But those who few weeks ago
believed that they would have good
supply of peaches realize now that
they will raise but a small crop.
Thousands of the young peaches have
already fallen to the ground, victims of
the curculio stings, and of those which
remain no good peaches can be expect
ed, as in all probability they will all
be stung and permaturely ripened.
The orchard belonging to Mr.. Taylor,
in Monmouth county, N. j., which
was mentioned by the Times two
months ago as phenomenon, being
the only orchard for miles around Civ
ing any prospects for crop, is report
ed as still full of young fruit and in a
healthy condition, and its owner is
calculating upon a crop of several
thousand baskets A great many
permaturely ripened peaches are COM
ing to the market from the Hudson
river counties, which proves that the
trees are very much diseasedf but every
one interested in the cultivation of
peaches in that section asserts that
there will be large crop Of fine peach

WHAT SHE SAW IN CHURCH.

He staid at home and she went to
church, after dinner he asked her:
what was the text, May 2"
ooh, something, somewhere in Gen.
erations; l have forgotten the chapter
and verse Mrs Hight sat right be-
fore me with Mother Hubbard bonnet
on. How could l hear anything when
/ could not even see the minister? |

"How did you like the new minis
e. ?"
"Oh, he's splendid and Kate Dartin
was there in Spanish lace cape that
never cost less than $50; and they can't
pay their butcher bills, and I'd wear
cotton lace or GO without any first.
"Did he say anything about the new
mission fund ?"
"No, and the Jones girls were all
rugged out in their yellow silks made
over; you would have died laughing to
have seen them. Such taste as these
girls have; and the minister gave out
that the Dorcas Society will meet at
Sister Jones' residence-the old poky
place"
at seems you didn't hear much of
the sermon"
"Well, Pm sure it's better to go to
church, if you don't hear the sermon,
than to stay at home and read the
papers and oh, Harry! the new minis
ter has lovely voice; it nearly puts
me to sleep; and did tell you that the

Mrs. Rich had real cameEs hair

A long silence, during which Harry
thought of several things, and his wife
was busy contemplating the sky or
view, then she sundenly exclaimed !:
"There! | knew I'd forgot to tell you
something. Would you believe it,

REASONS FOR DRESSING
PLAINLY ON THE LORDS
DAY

l. 1t would lessen the burden of
many who find it hard to maintain
their places in society
2. 1t would lessen the force of the
temptations which often lead men to
barter honor and honesty for display.
8. If there was less style in dress
at church, people in moderate circum-
stances would be more inclined to at
tend.
4. Universal moderation in dress
at church would improve the worship
by the removal of many wandering
thoughts.
5. 1t would enable all classes of
people to attend church better in un-
favorable weather.
6. 1t would lessen, on the part of
rich, the temptations of vanity.
I. 1t would lesson, on the part of
the poor, the temptations to be envi-
Gus and malicious.
8. 1t would save valuable time on
the Lords day.
9. 1t would relieve our means of a
serious pressure, and thus enable US to
do more for good enterprise.

THE ARTIC WINTER.

Lieutenant Schwatka, the Arctic ex-
plorer, gives some interesting facts in
regard to the character and duration of
the Arctic winter. He says:
"The generally received opinion that
the Arctic winter, especially in the
higher ATTITUDES, is long, dreary one
of perfect Opaque darkness is not strict
ly correct In latitude $50 20/ 2W N,
the highest point ever reached by man,
there are hours and AZ minutes of
twilight on December %, the shortest
day in the year in the Northern Hem
isphere. In latitude $50 27' N, the
highest point where white men have
wintered, there are 6 hours and 2 min
utes in the shortest day, and 32S geo.
graphical miles from that point must
yet be attained before the true Pluton-
ic zone, or that one in which there is
no twilight whatsoever, even upon the
shortest day of the year, can be said to
have been entered by man. Of course,
about the beginning aud ending of this
twilight it is very feeble and easily ex-
tinguished by even the slightest mists /;
but nevertheless, it exists, and is very
appreciable on clear, cold days, or
nights, properly speaking. The North
Pole itself is only shrouded in perfect
blackness from November 13 to Janu-
ary 80, period of II days. Suppos-
ing that the sun has set (supposing a
circumpolar sea or body of water un-
limited to vision) on September "a, not
to rise until March Is for that particu-
lar point, giving period of about so
days of uniformly varying twilight,
the Pole has about 1873 days of contin-
uous daylight, 100 days of varying
twilight, and II of perfect inky dark
ness (save when the moon has north
ern declination) in the period of typi-
cal year. During the period of little
! over four days the sun shines continu-
,,usly on both the North and South
Poles at the same time, owing to re-
fra, ,'tion, parallax, semi-diameter, and
dip tf the horizon"

OUR FLAG.

The following concerning our flag
will be information to some. Every
body knows it at sight, yet but few
know its dimensions or composition:
"The garrison flag is the National
flag. 1t is made of bunting, 36 feet fly,
and 20 feet hoist, in thirteen horizon
tai stripes of equal breadth, alternating
red white and blue beginning with red.
In the.upper quarter nextthe staff, is the
Union. composed of number of white
stars, equal to the number of States,
one-tbird the length of the flag, ex-
tending to the lower edge of the fourth
red stripe from the top.
The storm flag is 2Oxl0 the recruit
ing flag nine feet, nine inches by four
feet four inches The regimental flag
is six feet six inches fly and six feet
deep on the staff. AS there are 3S
States in the Union there should be
the same number of stars on the flag.
