A Terrible Wreck,

An accident happened on the e. O..
4 S. w. r. II. thirteen miles West of
Louisville, last Saturday evening by
which three men lost their lives. A
severe storm was raging and the light
ming had struck tree one mile West of
Pleasure Ridge Park, and thrown it
across the track. Freight train No.
8 going West ran into it, wreckihg the
engine and five cars and instantly
killing the engineer, Thomas Sherrell,
the fireman, Mr.. Filburn and ID. j.
Peak brakeman. The conductor,
Thomas Goodman was stunned, but re-
covered in time to give warning to the
West bound passenger train which was
only few minutes behind. DIR. J. s.
Morton and Mr.. Thomas Baird of our
town were on the passenger train and
saw the wreck.

Quite a Fact

Strangers and outsiders pass their
judgment on a town by the papers
that are published In it. II only a few
struggling advertisements appear, they
say the town is dead, the merchants
have no business, or lack enterprise and
spirit. If, on the other hand, attracts
i've advertisements, filling column after
column, meet their eye, they form a
different notion of the town, and say ii
is a live town with energetic and pro-
gressive merchants, and that it means
business. 1t gives confidence to the
place not attained otherwise. There is
no channel through which the life
blood Of a town so quickly flows as
through the advertising columns of its
Democrat.

An Abduction and a Rescue

Some five or six years ago, Stock
Finley, of Morgantown, and Miss Sallie
Kahn, daughter of Abe Kahn, of Crom-
well, We're married, and IN due season "a
daughter was born to them. Their
dispositions and natures were not con-
genial, and they did not live happily
together, and soon after >the birth of
their child they separated and haye
been living apart since. Finley is now
living in Montgomery, Ala. The babe
proved to be such cheerful, lively
girl that they christened her "Sun.
shine," and such she was to the
mother, who has kept her up to the
18th inst. On the 18th inst. "hannahr
Finley, of Morgantown, a brother to
Stock, came to Cromwell, and after
watching around till Monday he sue
ceeded in getting possession of the girl
while she was out visiting. We under
stand that Abe Kahn, the child's
grandfather, saw him when he took the
child but did not try to prevent him
and did not tell her mother of it for
some time, who was almost frantic
when she learned it.
Finley procured a skiff and rowed
down TO Mr.. Roan's, on Green river,
there he took a horse to Morgantown,
there he procured rig and drove to
South Union and took the cars for
Montgomery, Ala. Joseph Kahn, a
brother to the mother, left Tuesday i'm
pursuit, and overlook Finley in the cars
at Nashville, Tenn. The child was
asleep at the time and when awakened
cried piteously to go home with "Uncle
Joe" to her mother. Kahn told Finley
he would have the child or kill him.
He got her. Finley tried to get the POI
lice to interfere, but Kahn bullied them
out of it and got on an East bound train
and returned home.
The mothers joy knew no bounds
when her darling little waif "Sun-
shine" was returned to her, safe and
sound.
