Hurled Over an Enbankment.

READING, PENN, August 19.-Joanna
Heights, this County, the place of Meth.

day. Jacob Group, miller residing two
miles from Morgantown, attended, with his
wife and two grandchildren, Misses Annie
and Minnie Shirk While driving along
a public road along high hill an
engine dashed along the railroad be.
low and this scared the horse. He
dashed down the road at frightful rate of
speed, throwing out the occupants of the
carriage, who rolled down the steep EN-
bankment. Mr.. Group was picked up in.
sensible, his head in pool of blood. He
remained unconscious for several hours,
and his injuries being on his head vail
probably prove fatal. He is seventy five
years Of age. Mrs. Groups arm was
stripped of its flesh, and she will
probably lose The limb. She Is
seventy two years old, and the shock to her
nervous system is enough to kill her. Miss
Annie Shirk had her leg broken near the
ankle and Miss Minnie Shirk had her arm
dislocated. The greatest excitement pre-
walls, and it is not known how many will
actually survive. The carriage was smashed
to splinters and the horse ran several miles
from the place of the accident.

An Anti-German Demonstration
.... Made at Madrid.
Underground Railroad Accidental Pecu-
liar Conflagration.

MADRID, August 23.-An Anti German
demonstration was begun in Madrid to-day.
AT four O'Clock forty thousand persons had
assembled in the Brado with banners and
other emhlems. Speeches were made in
spanish and French denouncing Bismarck's
acllon IN annexing the Carolines. The chief
sneaker was Spanish Colonel in full uni
form. No insulting reference was made to
Germany, but the rights of Spain were
iuily proclaimed. A procession marched
through the chief streets, arous-
ing great enthusiasm. Opposite the
Prime Minister'S palace, cheers were
raised for the Premier, but he did not ap-
pear, and the cheering changed to bowling
and whistling. Several men scaled the
balconies and planted National flag amid
enthusiastic cheers. All the clubs includ-
ing the military and the aristo, displayed
banners. The procession was headed by
Democratic leaders. 1t did not pass through
the street upon which the German Lega-
tion is situated. At a meeting of the mill
tary club, General Salamanca presiding,
1t was unanimously agreed, amid intense
excitement, to expel the German honorary
members. .H -..
LONDON, August pa terrible collision
occurred on the District Railroad at Earls
Court Station. The signals were broken
just as the train came into the station,
leaving the signals turned in such manner
as to indicate to train approaching from
the opposite direction that the track was
clear. At that moment Great
Western train came into the station
and struck the engine of the other
train with terrific force. The scene which
ensued was horrible. The lights were
shattered and most of them extinguished,
and the narrow underground tunnel was
filed with the shrieks OF the wounded and
dying. The driver of the Great Western
engine was killed, and the stoker and five
passengers were fatally injured. Many
others were cut and bruised more or less
severely.
LONDON, August pa fire broke out in
the crowded quarter of Hoxton, suburb
of the city, to-day, and, owing to the mar
row streets, the fremen were unable to
check its progress for several hours. The
burning buildings were inhabited by the
poorer class of people, and many Of them
were compelled to jnmp from the windows
to save their lives. A lodging house filed
with people was attacked by the flames,
and in spite of the heroic efforts of the fire
brigade to save the occupants a man and
two children were burned to death.

GLOWING PROSPECTS.
Best Crop Ever Known, and the Business
& Situation Unusually Good.


BALTIMORE, August 19.-The Baltimore
MANUFACTURERS Record will publish to-
morrow nearly five pages of special report,
covering the whole South, from Virginia to
Texas, showing that the prospects of the
crops and the outlook for business in that
section are remarkably good. Not only is
the acreage of the cotton, corn and tobacco
crop the largest on record, but the reports
are almost unanimous in stating that the
yield of these crops, as well as of
smaller crops, excepting wheat,
will exceed the best crops ever
before produced. 1t is also shown
that the crops have been made at lower
cost than in any preceding year, and the
liens on crops for money advanced to the
farmers is much less than heretofore.
Official reports from South Carolina show
that while that State will produce about
four million bushels more of corn, and
probably over three hundred Thousand
bales of cotton more than last year, the ag-
gregate amount of agricultural liens given
to obtain advances upon growing crops is
S,0OO,O0O less than in 1882, notwith-
standing the fact that the intervening
years of 1888 and 1884 were unfavorable
crop years. In Georgia the Agricultural
Department estimates the corn crop at
4U,UUO,UUU bushels, against 3l,OOO,0OU last
year, and 24,6O0,000 in 1888. Regarding
corn the reports from the whole South are
of the most flattering character, some stat
ing that the yield will be the best for years,
others for twenty years, and many the
best ever know. 1t is thought by
the U. S. Commissioner of Agri-
culture that the increased acreage in
corn over last year, and the splendid
yield which is now assured, will give the
South not less than 5O,OO0,OO0 bushels of
corn more than last year. The cotton crop,
it is believed, is safe for much the largest
yield ever made, and for at least 100000
or 800, 900 bales more than last year. OF
tobacco, fruits and vegetables, the. crops
are the largest ever made in the South,
while rice promises a splendid yield
and sugar far more satsfac-
tory and profitable crop than
in 1884. Stimulated by the unprecedented
crops, business is already showing marked
Improvement, and the prospects through
out the South for fall and winter trade are
reported as unusually good. In the organ
ization of railroad and manufacturing en-
terprises there is great activity, and the
outlook for industrial interests Is particu-
larly promising.

A Monster Snake Seen Near Pierceville,
aaN Ind, .4 $50


--h Ind. A-
PIERCEvILLE, IND, August 20.--The
monster snake which has created the in
tense excitement here during the past week
was not found by the posse of men and
boys who spent yesterday searching the
woods, and the skeptical, who regarded the
report as only snake story, were becom-
ing quite boastful But If this locality were
searched with microscope to-day for a
person who doubted hecurrent impression
not one could be found. The unanimous
adoption of the belief that there is SER
pent Of immense size at large here occur
red to-day, when James Wright, farmer
living two miles south of here, near
the charcoal pits, announced that the un-
welcome monster had crossed the field
where he was blowing for wheat. Wright
first noticed its trail in the fresh soil, and,
following it, saw the immense reptile NOV
ing into an adjoining thicket or slash. He
corroborates Mrs. Stockman's statement
that the monster is from fifteen to twenty
feet in length, but gives it as his opinion
that its diameter is not over ten inches.
Having full view of it movingin the sun
light, it appeared to glisten as II Shiny
or amphibious, and he says is dull brown
color, with greenish- yellow spots. Mr..
Wright made all haste to give the alarm,
but as the announcement had a terrifying
effect on his neighbors the serpent was
again allowed to escape into the slash,
which is thick with underground and
briers, and affords an excellent hiding
place. Thos. Alexander, one of the oldest
residents of this locality, states that
a reptile Of the description given by
Wright was seen in this locality nine years
ago. These statements have raised the ex
citement to fever heat. The abundance of
berries and fox grapes with which the
woods here abound will 60 to waste this
year, for our boldest citizens are so terri
fed by the presence of the monster that
they are as timid about entering the woods
as are small boys.

BRADFORD, Pa, August 23.-The severest
rain-storm experienced for long time
reached this section about 1890 this even
ing, and for hours rain poured down inces-

Reminiscence of the Past Century.

WASHINGTON, August 21.-In excavating
cistern at General Eppa Hunton's stables
at Warrenton, Va, yesterday, grave was
discovered. Il was supposed to be that of
Mario, an African chief and voudoo doc
tor who, about the time of the revolution,
poisoned and killed thirty slaves belong
ing to John Chiffon, and was hung
for the crime near the site of the
grave. Tradition says that Mario claimed
that he would be saved by supernatural
power, and in that dav, when witchcraft
was a popular belief, his expectation made
some impression on the officers of the law,
and additional precautions were taken for
his security. Just as he was about to be
executed a cyclone occurred, injuring
many people, who were blown from the
trees. Mario was, however, executed.

Honor ,lle departed,

History and tradition hands down few
worthier examples than that OF bestowing
a httibg and enduring tribute to. the
departed. The old masters in sculpture
were ever wont to emulate each other in
the delineation OF imaginary ecclesiastical
beings, angels, cherubs, &c, &C., while the
liie-size forms Of the departed, armored
knights, ideal objects, armorial crests and
sacred symbols found willing service at
the shrine Of genius. Tombs, mosoleums,
vaults and catacombs were rendered SIN
gularly artistic and imposing by the sculp-
tors chisel. But the atmospheric action
upon the finer tracings and carvings in
succeeding years demonstrated that more
desirable material be secured and the adop-
ton OF more massive columns and artist
icaliy shaped blocks OF enduring granite
capable Of resisting the storms OF thou
sand years. These are now universally
the preference, designed in endless shapes
and embellished with graceful dies, caps,
turrets, DC.
To form anything Ike acorrect idea OF
modern memorial architecture or design
ing, there will be found in our midst one
OF the most competent and inviting studios
in the country at 1878. Market street,
Crangle's Block, where Messrs. L. a..
Moore & Co., have established bureau Of
designs in monumental and statuary work,
which will amply repay allloyers ofartto
visit.
we feel safe in saying that in our city
we possest in this respect one Of the most
competent and reliable firms, with all the
facilities OF producers and manufacturers
ofany city III the Union.
