RAILROAD CASUALTIES.
juries Which May Prove Fatal
Another MishaD.

Another accident occurred at tn.
West Yard of the p, W. & B. Railroad
shortly after 6 o'clock last evening
which came near resulting in instant
death John Brennan, employed as
head brakeman on the fast freight train
going south, was sitting upon the track
in the West Yard talking with a friend
while his train was being made up,
WHEN a shifting engine, with one cal
attached, backed down upon him, and
struck him before he was aware of his
danger
AS soon az he was struck, the engine
was reversed and the car drawn from
oft the man, when he arose on his feet,
and said to the yardmaster; ooh Ned,
I'm hurt and Immediately fell over
in the arms of Mr.. Carter. His right
arm and shoulder were horribly mutt
lated and the sight was a asickening one.
He was at once placed in box car and
conveyed to the hospital room at the p.
W. & Il. station, where he received
medical attention from Drs. Kane,
Bullock and Draper, who were sum
moned. Upon examination they found
| his collar bone broken, his arm and
hand badly crushed, and the bones
broken in several places. The injuries
to his arm are Of such nature that it
| is thought it will have to be amputated.
After the wounds had been properly
dressed he was sent to his home in
Philadelphia on the go train
The accident resulted from sheer
Carelessness on the part OF the brake
man, as he had no business to be sit
ting on the track. Many accidents
occur in similar manner, which
would otherwise be avoided if the EN-
plOy ees were not so reckless. The in
iured man. home is in LatrObe, Pa,
but he has been boarding in Philadel-
phia for some time. Brennan was
formerly in the employ Of the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railroad and was
badly injured on that road. He has
been III his present position since March
last, and has been slightly injured two
or three times before. But little hopes
are entertained of his recovery from the
wounds received last night.
HAND CRUSHED.
Jacob Pearson, % brakeman on the
Delaware road, while coupling cars a,
Gre tenwuod station, had his hand badly |
crushed between the bumpers, which |
necessitated the ampntation of three of |
his fingers. The operation was perform
ed by DR.. Marshall, of Milford, and |
the man brought to this city and con-
veyed to his home, No. 33 Wilson street.

Unjust " heat Grading.

A Wlnona special to the Pioneer
Press of the 1th inst. has the follow
ing truthful report of the business sit.
uation in the west:
a gentleman who has returned here
from tour through Western Mime
sofa and Central Dakota, SAYS that
farmers are selling but comparatively
little wheat out there as yet, owing to
what they deem injustice on the part
OF gram operators in the matter of
grading wheat. AS it is ut present.
the best hard wheat only grades No. ?.
All other wheat grades No. ;. The
dissatisfaction on the part Of the far
mcrS and the unsatisfactory low prices
affect all kinds OF mercantile business
adversely. The merchants sympa-
thles are with the farmers in the pos.
ltion they have taken, and the result
Is that the retail merchants generally
are extending their credit rather than
making collections and paving up.
Report says that smut IN wheat exists
in various localities more or less, but
the general impression prevails that
the scare is magnltied purposely, in
the interest of grain dealers.

place iii the body of Il living animal.
On this account, horses which are eN-
clusiyely fed on corn and hay do not
receive that kind Of nourlshment
which appears necessary for the due
support and maintenance OF the
animal fabric; hence, We must not be
surprised that corn-fed horses show
evidence of being languid, by sweat
ing profusely while being worked.

contrary. contain more of the essen
tial elements OF nutrition than any
other article Of food which can be fed
with impunity to horses, but are
decidedly nutritious. They are the
cheapest because there is less risk in
feeding them, and experience has
proved that horses properly ted on
oats and timothy hay, with regular
exercise, good grooming and proper
sanitary regulations, can be brought
to the highest state OF physical cul-
ture. and can perform more Work
with less evidence of fatigue than
when fed on any other article OF
food. American Farmer.

from Cisalpine Gaul. The Senate, to
insure Rome against the troops of Gaul,
had issued the famous mandate that
devoted to the Internal gods and de-
clared sacrilegious and parricidal who
ever should cross the Rubicon with a le-
gion or cohort.
When the Senate refused Caesar the
con sulship and continuation of his gov
eminent, he determined. in defiance.
to pass the limit of his rule and march
to Rome. But on reaching the banks
of the stream he was filled with doubt
and hesitation at the danger he would
incur. For a long time he conferred with
his friends, saying the river once passed
the sword must decide everything.
While he debated, prodigy occurred,
always welcome to the Roman. A man
of lofty stature and remarkable beauty
was suddenly seen seated at short dis
lance playing on pipe. Some shep-
herds and soldiers of the neighboring
guard collected around the piper to
listen. Among the soldiers were some
with trumpets. Caesar seized one OF
the trumpets and urged his horse to the
bank of the river, where he drew from
the instrument most warlike blasts.
Then dashing across to the opposite
bank, he exclaimed: "On! on! the die
is cast! The voices of the immortal
gods and the in Justice of our enemies
call!'' But his decision involved Rome
in a long and fearful struggle.
Another saying is mo Quarter"
Formerly the ransom of soldier was a
quarter of his pay. II the victor de-
sired to retain his prisoner, or have him
put to death, he refused his ransom;
that is, would take no quarter which
might pay for his deliveran e. So the
expression means to make no conces-
sion, but to act with extreme rigor.
A ''Sardonic' laugh, that is to say, a
convu' sive, deadly kind of laugh. In
Sardinia there grows kind of ranun-
culus called SARDINIA, which contracts
in strange way the muscles of the face
when it is eaten, so that the lips are
forcibly drawn back, and the patient to
whom it is administered seems to smile
while dying
But another explanation is more gen.
erously admitted, drawn from an an
cient custom of the Sardianians. At
certain yearly festival, there were sac
rifce not only the prisoners of war.
but all old men who had passed their
sixtieth year. These wretched morta S
were forced to smile during the horri-
BILE ceremony of being put to death.
ceremony that was prolonged for the
editication of the lookers-on. Thus a
sardonic laugh means one that is mere
ly on the lips. but is vo d of all JOY or
merriment, concealing the bitterness at
heart. Amy Lovei, IN The Household.

FIFTY YEARS APART.

They sit in the winter cleaning,
And the fire burns bright between;
One has passed seventy summers,
And the other just seventeen.
They rest in happy silence
As the shadows deepen fast;
One lives in a coming future,
And one in long, long past.
Each dreams of rush of music,
And a question whispered low;
A. One will hear it this evening,
One heard it long ago.
Each dreams of q loving hus )and.
Whose brave heart is hers alone;
For one the joy is coming,
For one the Joy has flown. -at
Each dreams of life of gladness
Spent under the sunny skies;
And both the hope and the mem'ry
Shine in the happy eyes.

And who knows Which is the best?
The sorrow and joy are mingled,
But only the end is rest.

Popular Phrases.


tons to which we are SO accustomed
they pass without remark, until some
one struck w tn the humOr OF the phrase
will repeat it, trying to solve the ques-
ton of its origin. The old, careless.
familiar exclamation is the subject OF
curious investigation. Sometimes it
may be traced to the Greeks, Romans
or Arabs, AMI found to be little changed
since the days of antiquity. Among
these sayings there is tn s one that was
formerly used in polite society, but has
been banished as vul gar saying. 1t is,
"God bless 20 sr' the greeting made to
any one that sneezed.
No people were ever more supersti-
tious than the Romans. They were
guided by the merest accidents. With
them sneezing was an augury that they
interprete in various ways. From
noon until midnight it was a favorable
sign. but from midnight until noon it
was unfavo able; herald of happiness
or woe also, according as one sneezed

bit of an lent superstition arose the
custom now nearly forgotten among
Christians, of crying out, "God bless
yOu!'' when one sneezCs.
The reason of It's use as an augury
has not been discovered But sneeling
has everywhere and IN all times been
considered worthy of certain degree
of attention. According to the Jews
the custom OF wishing well to one who
sneezes dates far, far back, even to the
creation. When Adam was driven out
Ofparadise. SO runs the tradition, God
ordained that man should sneeze only
at the moment of death. But now
sneezing is looked on as a return to life.
The French peasants say that patient

The Siamese explain it differently.
They say there are in the internal re-
gions Judges who write all the sins of
men in large books. The Supreme
Judge is continually occupied in review
ing the collection, and the unfortunate
mortal whose sins fall beneath the eye
of the Judge will sneeze as he read.
