EE MoST ALTO PARK.-Itis estimated
that upwards of 5000 excursionists were
at Mont Alto Park, Pa, on Thursday the
3lst Of August, and, although rainy
day, MANY were disappointed in not get
ting there, on account of the Z. V. K. K.
being unable to furnish sufficient coaches
to meet the demand.
Mont Alto has already become one of
the most popular mountain resorts in this
country. So great is the demand for
the grounds, that, during the excursion
season. they must be engaged from two
weeks to month beforehand.

tx A railroad accident occurred Sum-
day night last about 10 O'Clock on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad a: Shaefer's
Dam, near Oakland. The wreck consist
ed of about twelve or fifteen cars and L
locomotive, which were used for the first
time. Ont of three car loads of wheat
one may be saved, while the oats are al
most an entire loss. The principle part
Of the cargo consisted OF cattle, beeves,
mules and pigs, and these might be seen,
the dead ones lying along the road i'll con-
fusion, and the live ones-moStly mules,
as might be expected-grazing around in
the neighboring farms. There was one
life lost, that of j. II. Sollars, Il drover
from Washington, Fayette county, Ohio,
who WAS drawn ont from nnder the loco
motive, which lay with It's headlight in
the water. All on board being warned,
jumped off, except the fireman who stuck
to his post, and, TO the surprize of all,
clsmbered out unhurt from the side-lishts
of the engine which had 'careened 10 one
side. The scene of the accident was visit
ed by the guests of the Deer Park and
Oakland Hotels, and the residents Of the
surrounding country. There. were some
curious sights presented.

4 Word of Warning.

Under the above heading the Du-
iuth Tribune of a recent date contain
ed an article which seems SO appropri-
ate to Superior as we'll as to Duluth
and other towns, we feel warranted in
giving it place in our columns. High
price in real estate and rents is the rock
| upon which many town with other
wise bright prospects have been wreck
ed, and her streets left desOlate that
might have been bordered with state
ly mansions and elegant business
blocks, and crowded with a busy, pros
porous people. 1t will do our people
no harm to read the article and to So
berly consider the warning. The arti-
Gle is as follows
1t is just possible that the boom in
real estate and rents which we are now
enjoying may be overdone 1t looks
very much as if a reaction would set
in, and then somebody will get left.
There is danger that property owners
will defeat their own ends by running
the price up so high. The demand for
dwellings and business places is at pre-
sent so great that it cannot be sup
piled, but there is no guarantee that
this demand will continue if the prices
are kept up above an ordinary mans
reach. We may drive prospective set
tiers elsewhere, and thus block our
progress somewhat. The better policy
would be to ask only reasonable rents,
this would encourage settlers to come
here and start in business, and the
whole town will reap the benefit. The
valuation of property would have
natural and well distributed increase.
and the danger of collapse would be
removed.
1t is not alone in Duluth that
property and rents have taken a sud
den and abnormal rise. All over the
same complaint is made, that it is
nearly impossible to find business
houses or dwellings at figures upon
which those who lease them can live.

remnant of his heretofore unblessed
life would be worth to him if, when he
asked lovely Vivian for her love, she

the fragrant, half-dim fernery, with
his handsome face pale with tender
ness, as he told her how he loved her

And Vivian?

have me tell you what you wish,
knowing what | have told you?"
A grasping sort of vague fear crept
chilly over him in that one instant
when she laid diamond-crusted gold
locket in his hand.
And then he opened it to look into
his own eyes-the picture he had Civ
en- Isabel Lisle nineteen years before.
She smiled in his astonished face.
"Iou don't know-no one knows

Vivian will you give yourself to me?"
And she stepped inside the out
stretched arms, and laid her bright
head on his breast, and made him
realize that it was for his highest hu-
man happiness that fate had seemed
so apparently cruel in all those past
dreay years, which now, in one little
moment, were blotted out forever.
