A Runaway Accident

Runaway Accident
Mount Joy Star.
On Wednesday afternoon, as Joshua an d
John McCurrran, were about crossing the
railroad, near the residence of Daniel
s. Miller, several miles east of town, they
stopped to hear if any train was
about, not seeing or hearing any
thing, they crossed, when tho limited
express camo laundering along at light
ming rate, as is claimed, without giving
their proper signal. They had barely
crossed the track, when the train passed,
this together with the whistIing they then
done, when too late to CO any good, scared
the horse and ran agaist the fence, which
caused one of tho occupants to fall out.
Luckily however, he fell on the opposite
side of tho wagon. or else he would have
fallen under thu cars, SO near the
track were they. The horse ran several
hundred yards when the other one was
thrown out. Tho vehicle is complete
wreck, but both McCurrans escaped with
slight injuries.

Whore Does cho Danger Come In?

Editors Of In:cltigencer:
The removal Of the duty ON matches has
called a new and dangerous competition
into tho market. Sweden is shipping
hundreds OF tons TO this country. Al
Though they pay 35 per cent. duty they
can be scld cheaper than the home made
article .-Neac Era.
We should like TO know what danger
there is IN getting cheap nlatches-that is,
what evil can possibly COMO to the con-
sumers. Ii we are correctly informed
match making in this couatry is monop
oily, So rich and strong that it has made a
corncr in woodlands to supply its needs in
manufacturing O! course cheap matches
would lessen the grip of this monstrOus
monopoly, and this to the mind OF the Era
would be dangerous. When . high
protective tariff takes possession OF minds
of uncertain calibsc the consumer is never
thought about, bat whatever threatens
the pockets of the precious monopolist is
dangerous. Whatever threatens the peO
ple's comforts or liberties is dangerous
not what curbs the giant strides of pres.
ens monopoiies. The Era will certainly
have to reform, lis catechisn.

tina: it had entered ny body.
Upon recovering Eom the shock
l returned the fire, and at once
walked away from the scene, the
firing then being very general and
rapid.
Believing myself to be wounded,
l made an examination as soon as
possible, and found that the bail
from Fortier's pistol had struck u
button on my vest, crushing it, cut
ting through che thickness of be
vest, lodging in the other, aid
causing severe confusion on my
chest.
Learning, later in the day, that
an order had been issued for my
arrest, | at once surrendered my
self.
Deeply as I deplore the result of
the encounter between Capt. For
tier and myself, it is a consolation
TO me reflect that the affray was
unsought, unexpected, and totally
undesired on my part. But for the
extraordinary accident of the ball
aimed at my life being turned by a
button on my vest, l should not be
alive to make this statement.
Fortunately every statement of
mine in regard TO the shooting can
be substant;ated by the testimony
of a number of reputable gentle

to Wednesday night. The COM

appointed by the chairman of tie
convention. Everything was going
along tremendously at last ac-
counts. Gen. Ogden has addressed
letter to the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

the contest. The Ogdenites have
searched in vain for some one to
take his place. No one is willing
to lead the opposition to the slaugh-

stantly. To-night's mail will Prob
ably give the result in full, with all
the nominees, from Gov. McEnery

In this happy condition the sou
of our beloved brother passed to lts
rest in heaven.
'.He Tended in our view
Midst flaming hosts above.
To him:
ITO die was but to fall asleep
In the soft arms of God.
Yes:
Full of faith in Christ he died.
And victorious III the race,
Won the crown for which he WED,
Not of merit, but of grace"
He is not, for God has taken
him.
Our dear brother had been trou-
bled with malaria for some time,
aud had requested the Bishop to
grant him transfer from this Con-
ference to the Mississippi Confer
ence, but while he was awaiting the
Bishops reply God gave him q
transfer to glory, and appointed
him minister before the eternal
throne, in the upper sanctuary, for
the term Of eternity.
But few days ago, at Confer
epce, he answered ''here' to the
Bishops roll call; ON Friday. Oct.
18th, ut five minutes past z P. NJ,
he answered here to the roll call
of the Bishop OF Souls ID heaven.
and absent from the body, he was
present with the Lord.
For some time before his death
he had been deeply impressed with
the Apostle Paul's word, 10 me to
live is Christ, and to die is GAIN;
ana By his daily lie and triumphant
end he has nobIy exemplifed them.
As neighbor, we esteemed him.
As a christian, we loved him. And
us fellow laborers in the ministry,
we sympathized with one another
in the Trials and difficulties common
TO ministerial! life.
Brother featherstun possessed q
kind and generous heart, and SEEM
ed never happier than when others
shared his hospitality, thus remind
ing us of Peters words, "Silver and
gold have ! none; but such as |
have give I thee" We wonld that
God might have spared him to his
Borrowing wife and helpless chill
dren for 4 lew more years, ut least.
but we submit to His will, with a
prayer upon our lips, that He may
be husband to the widow and
father to the fatherless, and bring
them all at last to that God-lighted
cline where they may meet him
who has gone before, and share
eternal joys together.

A fatal affray occurred in the
Seventh Ward, New Orleans, last
Friday, during the progress of the
election of delegates to the State
convention, in which Capt. Michel
J. Fortier, Gustave Remand and
Edward Mason were killed, and
seven men wounded. On Monday,
JAS. d. Houston, Robert Brewster,

done the killing, were examined

cused were discharged except JAS.
D. Houston, who was charged with
having killed Capt. Fcrtier, and
bound over, in the sum of $40, 900,
to appear before the Criminal Dis
trict Court. Mr.. Houston has pub

unfortunate affair:
As Chairman of the Executive

THE TOY PISTOL.

Now that Christmas is close at
hand, and parents are selecting
the presents which they desire
Santa Claus to bring for the nmuse-
ment of Young America, we take
this occasion to caution them not to
invest in that dangerous emisary Of
death, popularity called tue "toy
pistol" That it is not "toy," is
shown by the fact that in New Or
leans alone, it is estimated that at
least twenty boys are killed every
year by this treacherous playthin..
The fatal effects of the toy pistol
were thoroughly demonstrated on
the Fourth of July, 1882, when $50
boys were killed by it IN ten of the
leading Northern cities, no less
than % in Boston alone. OF course
the papers were Mortified by
slaughter like this, greater than
any known since Herod's days, and
straightway inyesti gated the mat
ter.
They pronounced the toy pistol
the most dangerous weapon ever
invented, and wisely advised par
ents to supply their sons with dyna-
mite instead. as much safer end
more harmless.
The metal used in the construc-
ton of she toy pistol was, they
found, such that the least wound
from it poisoned the blood and
produced loekjaw and death. A
wound from this little weapon,
therefore, is far more dangerous
than one from a genuine revolver,
as is evidenced by the fact that
none injured ever recover fIom it,
but all die, and always from lock
jaw. No matter how trifiing and
insignificant the wound may APP
pear at first, no matter how great
is the care shown a scratch from
one Of these pistols-wounding
from ball is not necessary, a mere
bruise or scratch is sutficient-lock-
jaw sets in.
We therefore hope, for the good
Of the boys, that parents will not
place these dangerous toys in their
hands. and that they will avoid
them even more than would rat
tlesnake. There are thousands of
other inventions designed for the
pleasure and amusement of the
rising generation, ard we would
advise the complete isolation of the
toy pistol. The boys can get along
very well without it, and at the
same time make all the noise they
want. And they should always bear
in mind the important fact that
Boys who ne'er with pistols play,
Will live to die some other way.

Nothing fills childhood with

Beautiful theme
OF chiIdhood's dream;
Beautiful Thoughts that mingle
With all the joys
Of girls and boys,
Like The bells soft jingle.
Beautiful hope
Of crystal rope
Don't snap it quick in twain:
Let no word cold
Unloose the hold
On baby's heart and brain.
0, mystic veil,
Behind whose pale
The baby mind reposes.
Don't lit 1t yet,
Or sad regret
Will mar their beds of roses.
o, let them live
In realms that give
Such pure and sweet delight!
Nor break charm,
So free from harm,
That fills their lives with light.
O. parent, pause,
Ere Santa Claus
Is banished from your hearth
Ere baby's signs,
And piteous cries.
In place ofioy and mirth.
For, in LIES spring
Sweet flowers cling
With tendrills trusting ever:
Let no rude blast
Undo their clasp
And thus forever sever.
