THE EfFEtls
The meeting was a glorious success for
the Democrats.
The Hanover Democrats are practically q
unit for Wickham and Cardweli, and the
Richmonders present were astonished TO
see the number OF negroes who were talk
ing and shouting for Wickham. Auditor
Allen made good speech from his stand
point. but Ran. Tucker snuffed it out, and
was besides exceedingly sharp on the Au-
ditor. Nearly all that Jones said against
Wickham, Wlckham answered; all that he
did moi answer, the cheers OF his neighbors
answered for him. Ii was an all-day-long
ovation for him.
when the discussion was over calls were
made for George ID. Wise and Mr. Beirne.
Both escaped. Mr.. Cardwell made brief
speech. and the stand was then surrender
ed TO the colored people-Laws speaking
for Wickham, and one or two Others for
Jones.
1t was about O'Clock when the speak
ing was all finished. Then the crowd be-
gan to disperse. About hundred went TO

Effect of Tobacco on Boys.

DR.. G. Decaisue tds had IN his
Charge thirty eight youths from nine
to fifteen years Of age; who are ad-
dicted to smoking; and has made
known SOME interesting results con-
corning the effects of tobacco upon
these boys. The extent to which to-
bacco was used edsand the effects
were Of conrse Unequal, but were
very decided in twenty-seven cases.
With twenty-five Of the boys there
was disturbance of circulation; palpi-
tation of the heart imperfect slug
gishness Of intellect and to some ex-
tent craving for alcoholic stimulsnts.
Twelve patients sufferd from bleed
ing Of the nose. ten had constant
nightmare; four HID liberated mouths,
and one became d victim of consump-
ton; The symptoms were ihost
marked in the YOUNGEST children, but
among those Of equal age the best fed
were least affected. Eleven boys
stopped smoking; and were cured
within year.

1t sounds like a romance to hear

body reads that one made by Rev.
William Bacan Stevens. It is too

know. 1t ought to be somewhere
in history. In ten years from to-day
this history can't be written. The

Shocking Accident to a Child.

Miss Mollie Byram, eleven years old, the
daughter of Charles R. Byran, of Charles
ton, met with shocking accident this af-
tsrnoon. She climbed upon high fence to
gather some leaves, and while standing
upon the stringer near the top her foot
slipped. Instantly she threw her hands out
to grasp the fence, but unfortunately twas
studded thickly with long, sharp-pointed
nails, which pierced and terribly lacerated
both hands. The nervous shock to the child
and her suffering may be imagined when it
is understood that she hung screaming with
no support but the nails piercing ner flesh
until she could be taken down by persons
attracted by her cries. There is danger of
lockjaw, but no signs of it have yet ap.

RECORD OF 4 DAY.
Serious Collision on the Panhandle Raj
Road-One Man Killed and Several Be-
riOusly Injured.

Z
Road-One Man Killed and Several So
riously Injured.
WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. q.
At :25 O'Clock this morning collision
occurred on the P, G. & st. L. Road, about
one mile west of Mingo Junction, o., where
the memorable disaster Of 1878 occurred.
The Cincinnati express going west, drawn
by engine 81, and the second section OF
east-bound freight train No. 46, drawn by
engine SO, came together at full speed on a
curve where high hill extends for one
third Of a mile. Both engines were COM
pletely demolished, and four freight cars,
loaded with pork in boxes, lard in barrels
and oats in bulk, and the mail and express
cars of the passenger train were reduced to
kindling wood. Owing to the character OF
the road where the accident occurred,
trains approaching can not be seen until
close on each other. The engineer of the
passenger, Charles Wolfe, noticed the APP
proach of the freight train, and applied the
air brake and reversed the engine, but this
had little effect before the freight train,
composed Of thirty cars and coming
down grade, crashed into him. The
passenger coaches and sleepers kept
the track and the passengers es.
capped with slight bruises and severe
shaking up. William Hoyt, postal clerk,
indianapolis, had a leg broken and his
body was crushed SO badly that he will die.
He was surrounded by debris requiring
chopping to release him. j. B. Newman,
postal clerk, Indianapolis, was slightly
hurt. Charles Wolfe, engineer OF the pas
senger train, thumb amputated and badly
bruised about the body and head; will re.
cover. J. T. Watson and A. N. Brown, pos.
tai clerks, Indianapolis; Joseph Little,
colored porter on postal car, all slightly
hurt. The engineer of the freight and both
hremen jumped when they saw the danger.
Engineer Wolfe stuck to his post. The
accident resulted from the carelessness of
Conductor Swaney of the freight. The
passenger train was ten minutes late and
the freight twenty minutes. The latter had
teIegraphic orders to go to Mingo not later
than l :l3 a. m. The conductor did not read
the order, and thought the operator said
1870. A wrecking train was at once sent
to the spot, and by 10:30 a. m. the track was
cleared and traffic resumed.
The point where the wreck occurred is
known to freight men as "The Slaughter
Pen," and to the passenger and mail EN-
ployes as "Dead Mans Glen" In the diss
aster of 1878 three mail clerks of Indianapo-
lis,J Johnson, Graham and Andrews, lost their
lives. Close by in the Ohio river is where
an excursion boat blew up, killing and
drowning sixty people, July 4, 1882.

.TILL DEATH US DO PART.v

s'Till death us do part, rang out the
low, clear voice of the officiating minis
ter throughout the quiet church. And
q Till death us do part spoke the man
who knelt before him; and Till death
us do part in her turn repeated the
woman.
Thus they plighted their troth in the
face of the world and before Heaven,
that man and woman, Humphrey Car
bonel and Emma Crane d They had
promised to love and cherish and honor
each other, and he to comfort her and
she to obey him in sickness and in
health, for better for worse, for richer
for poorer, until death did them part!
May breezes stole softly in through
the open porch; May violets filled the
air with perfume; May birds were sing
ing; May dews yet sparkled on the
,jeWeled grass. It was a true bridal
morning; and, amid the almost Sabbath
stiffness and the spring tide loneliness,
the vows were exchanged that made
them one. AZ, nj s45
Until death!lea The lover-husband
glanced down upon the timid girl
whose hand lay in his, feeling suddenly
how terrible was that word death!
Why should the thought have come to
him? He clasped the trembling hand
closer, as if he felt already the chilling
of those warm pulses. Even in the
midst of the solemn service, his imagin-
alton travelled forward to a day when
those solemn promises would have been
fulfilled, and death had ended all her
death. 1t did not occur to Captain
Carbonel to think that it might be his
own. 9
The young girl, happy and smiling in
her bridal robes, never once thought OF
death at all How should she? And
how still less, hoa1---could either OF
them call up q picture Of something
worse than death to break the marriage
VOW?
A young couple they, supremely
happy on that May morning. Sum.
shine, and glistening dew, and opening
flowers, and the joyous song Of birds
they do not put forth notions of winter
chill and gloom. No, nor portend it.
what God hath joined together, let
not man put asunder 8y
The tremulous voice of the clergy
man, for he was agitated, pronounced
those words very solemnly. The smile
upon the bridegroom's lip echoed but
that of his heart. Who should have
power to put asunder two who loved so
well? And Emma? She thought only
of the strong, manly form by her side.
It was the old, old story of the oak and
the vine. The present happiness was
perfect, and the future would be like
unto it; nay. much more abundant.
So reason we in our blindness, in the
inexperienced youth Of our early morn
ing, when the glamour Of hope is upon
us, and all looks radiant Later. stand
ING before the calm-faced teacher.
whose name is Life, we learn that no
earthly existence is perfect; that the
sunniest life hath shadows, and that
the sweet spring time, the brightest
summer, must give place to faded
flowers, to dying leaves.
"You cannot have Emma unless you
