DASHED TO DEATH.
Twenty Persons Killed and Thirty In
iured.

The Thousand Islands train on the
Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg rail
road met with terrible accident al
Carlyon,in Orleans county, N. Y, near
the Lake Ontario shore. 1t ran into q
car on the main line, which had been
blown there from siding by high
wind. The engineer noticed the car
standing on the track and at once put
on air brakes and reversed his engine,
but il was too late, and the engine rush.
ed into the car, and in an instant all
was wreck and confusion. The fireman
and engineer remained at their posts
when they knew that death was certain,
and were instantly killed Twenty per-
sons were killed, and thirty injured,
some of them fatally, so that death is
only question of few days. One
whole family of father. mother aud
children were burned in the wreck.
Among the dead are tho following
Michigan people: Jane Carl, Lansing;
Prof, G. w. Stone, Battle Creek; VIII
lie Lafever, Bay City; Mr.. and Mrs.
Booth, of Bay City; Mrs. j. c. Wort
ley, Saline, and Henry Mccormick, OF
Benton A. b. Bostwick of Adrian.
That so many of the dead and injured
were Michigan people is accounted for
the fact that they were the Michigan
Central Canada Southern excursionists
who left Detroit the day previous. The
traiE was behind time. and at the time
of the collision was running ut the
rate of 40 miles an hour.
1t is estimated that the company's
loss will be 100000, and may reach q
greater sum, as litigation in various
ways will probably grow out of it,

We can confidently appeal to the
experience of every business man,
of vocation and avOcation, for a cor
roberatiOn of this statement. "Dis-
regard of solemn contracts are more
frequent than they we're a few years
ago, men do not make the same
efforts to meet their engagements
which they made in the beginning
of the latter half of the last decade,
property pledged to secure particu-
lar debts has been made away with,

quent, and there is a general loose
ness, which is creating distrust
throughout the whole community"
We do not think any man who
ever had confidence in his fellows
and business relations with them,
will deny that these statements are
in very truth unpalatable facts.
The result Is that credit is more diff
ticnlt to get by the poor man or men
who have no real estate they can
not borrow and they tind security
with difficulty. This state of affairs
Is most detrimental 10 the poorer
classics. The rich can assuredIy pay
cash, get credit or security. What
has brought this about? Not failure
of crops, not low prices for stock,
not general hard times-none. of
the5e-but this daiunable doctrine
that the people have been taught,
that the state Is sovereign, nothing
can be forced from her, she will pay
only what she pleases; though she
could pay all. This teaching or the
spirit of II, has permeated the indi-
vidual, and the result OF IL is that
every man who has debt due him
has become sort of miniature blood
sucking bondholder, and many who
owe debts are in favor of settling at
500 or not at all. II A owes B and
will not pay, though he can, and he
may render b unable TO pay g, and
then G. gets uneasy aud loses conf
dence in the whole gang. This Is
the way II works, as sure as death,
and in few years, unless the face
of public morality is changed, Ten
nessee will be the worst of all the
states for poor man to live in. A
state cannot be taught, nor church
nor society, doctrine which is
wrong, without having the individ-
uaIs of such state, church or society
imbued with the same doctrine in
the performance of their individual
labOrs. Look around you and see

and account for it in any other way
if you can.

Sayings, and Who First Said Them.

Many of our common sayings, so trite
and pithy, are used without the least idea
from whose mouth or pen they first origi-
mated. Probably the works of Shakespeare
furnish us with more of these familiar
maxims than any other writer, for to him
we owe "All is not gold that glitters,'
"Make virtue of necessity" "Screw your
courage to the sticking place" (not point,
"They laugh that win, "This is the short
