I saw MT. Hatch and his mother climbing | out of another window. ran along and found that we could reach the ground by means of the platform. I lowered Miss Petersen, Mr. and Mrs. Ashe leaping to the ground. The upper part of the car by this time was in flames. Passing along by the sleeper, saw the legs of man protruding from the car. He was piteously calling for help. He appeared calm and thoroughly conscious of his DO sition. I succeeded in partly extricating him, when train man came to my as- sistance, and we saved him from horri- ble death. He proved to be John F. Cassell, of San Francisco, and he was the last person taken alive from the ruins.
 ''All human efforts were of no further avail, as the sleeper was in sheet of flame. We left the spot and limped down to the bottom of the ravine, some fifty feet below, where we found ex- Gov. Downey, MT. Cassell, MT. and Mrs. Ashe, Miss Petersen, Capt. Watterhouse and daughter, and 8 few other persons scattered about, shivering in the cold blast. Among the rocks on the steep side of the slope, lay Wright the porter, wounded to death, and begging piteous- ly for help. At this time there were some big, strong men, fully dressed, pa- rading up and down, who were appealed to for aid by the injured, but who took no notice whatever of their cries of srf- fering. 1 attempted to assist Wright, who was dying, but, being worn out, I could do but little. A brakeman named Mckenzie did all in his power for us.

Enlarge the Police.

ED. CALL: There have appeared
articles in the Leader upon this
subject, and the measure is APPROX
ed. The late horrid murder perpe-
trated in the darkness Of the night
calls for an increased force of this
necessary precaution, and it is but
reasonable that there should be
Waterman of this class for the
third ward JUSTICE" in the
Charleston Call.
Yes, increase the number of your
saloons-advertise their business of
crime and death, and then cry
aloud for more policemen to save
you from your own folly. This is
the way it goes, in all saloon-cursed
towns and cities.
Our Council last. week opened
the way for two or three more six
hundred-dollar policemen in Par
kersburg. But-O, yes it is from
the saloons we get our revenue.

Yellow Jacket Cider.

A Kentucky man, in taking a
drink of cider the other day, swal-
lowed live yellow-ja which
stung him several times in its pas
sage down his throat. He imme-
diately bought a barrel of the ci-
der, saying that it had as much
SNAP" in it, and was justas warm
ing as fifty cent whisky, and was
twenty per cent. cheaper.-Er.
Now here's key to the whole
question, and the same is heartily
commended to the friends of oil
cense and regulation"
Let the bonds of the liquor-seli-
ers compel them to substitute live
yellow jackets for the alcohol in
their drinks, or at least to dilute
the liquor, say in the proportion
Of two parts alcohol to one part live
yellow-jackets.
This would give the "snap,"
without the maximum Of devil
ment, and then you see it would
avoid the odium of being stump
tuary or prohibitory." This would
be simply license and regulation,
and as the CommercjaI would say,
would commend itself to all jnteJH-
gent and respectable dealers.
Let's have yellow-jacket re-
form.

But others quite as competent
to surmise, believe that the judges
are convinced by the weight of ar
gument and law which was given
for the validity of the amendment,
and that they are brave and fair
minded enough to make reversal
Of their decision.

into type, we have the unpleasant
news that the decision of the

ing the amendment null and void,

Iowa Amendment Case.

The all-absorbing topic Of dis
cussion both in and cut Of temper
ance circles, is the rc-haaring Of the
celebrated amendment case, which
was heard by the Supreme Court
in Davenport, last week. Many
prominent temperance people were
in attendance from different parts
Of the State, Our president, Mrs.
Carhart, Mrs. Aldrich, Mrs Max
field, and other ladies representing
the deep interest which the W. G.
7. U. had in this matter. The ar
guments lasted three days. The le-
gal talent employed in the case is of
the very best in the State and it
was a contest between giant intel
lects, but one truth was very no
ticeable to all present, -viz., the
great earncstness and undoubted
sincerity of the counsel for the
amendment. The words and tones
and gestures were those Of men who
were giving to the world their deep
est, most profound convictions
men who were pleading for justice,
truth and right, for God and home
and native land" whose clear eyes
saw far into the future, and whose
spiritual vision penetrated the
evil of humanity which hides the
solemn truths of eternity from us.
Mr.. Duncombe, (the only Demo
crat in the counseD, from Fort
Dodge, Judge Nourse, of Des
Moines, and Senator Wilson, of
Fairfield, have made for them
selves records which will be a rich
legacy to their children. Mr.. Bills,
of Davenport, the opposing law
yer, is an able and talented man,
and worked heroically for his side.
His argument was very ingenious
and he used all the arts which a
smart lawyer can apply to a bad
case. He dwelt at great length on
presidents for sustaining techni-
calities; he raised false issues, dis
torted authorities, and did not
quote fairly his opponents or meet
squarely their propositions. The
gentleman who was advertised as
his colleague, Judge Wright, Of
Des Moines, did not speak.
What the decision of the Court
will be it is impossible to surmise.
One able lawyer gave the following
as his opinion
"The amendment lawyers have
beaten the other side to death in
the argument, but the Court said
the horse was seventeen feet high,

Shade Trees.

Superintendent Butcher, in the
April School journal, recommends
that the afternoon of Friday, the
2Sth day Of April, 1888, be devoted
to the planting Of shade and orna-
mental trees about the school
house lot of every free school in the
State, by the teachers, pupils, par
ents and school officers. -Tfibune.
We regret we did not notice this
recommendation in time to add our
little mite of encouragement to this
happJ idea. We are an enthusiast
on the question Of sha de trees. We
always did like a Clean cool shade,
no less when a school boy than
when a sheave-gatherer. There is
no manner of sense in having our
posterity baking and frying during
recess and noon play-times, when
their comfort and happiness could
be secured at so small expense. We
believe the school laws should re.
quire Trustees to plant all school
lots in shade trees at public ex-
pense.

life could be- maintained on vegetable

courses accompanied by brown bread
and cup of cocoa for each guest. A
"hOtch- -potch" soup was first served. 1T
was composed of potatoes, turnips, car

claimed for it that it is nutritious. The
next dish was pie made of haricOt

followed the sweets, a hot mess OF rhu-
