The altitudinous man of the wheel ia the
victim Of peculiar circumstances. 1t was in
the summer Of 1889 that man named Brad
ley was loading logs in fat-car on side
track at Kelly's station, In Wabash county,
Ind. A freight came along with one ca.
about a foot higher than freight-cars usually
are. On the centre roof-board Of this car
stood gay and festive brakeman six feet
three inches high, being nine inches higher
than the average knight Of the wheel.
Across the track were some telegraph wires
the lowest Of which hung about foot lower
than such wires usually do. On this particu-
lar occasion the law Of general average went
into temporary retirement
The low telegraph wire caught the tall
brakeman under the chin. The brakeman
didn't give way, but the insulator ON the
eross-tree Of the first telegraph pole did, and

few seconds there was large amount OF
loose telegraph wire following the train, and
Mr. Bradley being then and there engaged in
the laudable labor OF loading logs, was en-
tangled in the wiry mesh, which pulled him
under the wheels Of the train SO that he was
compelled to close the circuit Of his days He
didn't leave any widow, but he left seven
snail children, mostly twins, and now the

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS IN

From the edition of Messrs.
Geo. p Rowell & Cos American
Newspaper Directory, now in
press, it appears that the news
papers and periodicals of all kinds
at present issued in the United
States and Canada reach a grand
total OF 13,402. This is a net
gain of precisely 1000 during the
last twelve months, and exhibits
an increase Of 1913 over the total
number published just ten years
since. The increase in 1874 over
the total for 1873 was 493. Dur
ing the past year the dailies have
increased from 1.ljS to l, ,254, the
weeklles from 9,062 to hoops;
and the monthlies from 1901 to
,499. The greatest increase is
in the western states. Illinois,

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, April Is, 1884.
To the Presiding Elders, Greeting:
Being informed that many of the minis
ters who received their appointments at
the Arkansas and South Arkansas Confer
ences, are still away from their work, and
many of them engaged in other secular
calling, instead of dispensing the word of
truth and life unto the people over whom
they were appointed.
This is, therefore, to cite and admQnish
them to repair imme mediately to their several
charges, and failing to do so for ten days
hereafter, except where they are prevented
by Providential causes, they must be i'm
mediately suspended and so remain until
the next Annual Conference.
Pastors in charge are forbidden to in any
manner employ said ministers, and if they
do, they must themselves be tried and be
suspended until the ensuing Annual Con-
ference for completely in said neglect OF
duty.
Presiding Elders will see to it that this
order is rigidly enforced through this dis
trict SO that the supremacy Of the laws and
discipline of our chureh may be vindicated
and sustained.
Respectfully,
