,ne note from Prince Alexander insisting
upon the retirement of Servians fro;n before
Widdin before he will conside the proposal for
a delimitation by the powers of armistice lines
between Servia and Bulgaria, will, it is feared,
further postpone a conclusion of the much
h~oped-for peaceful settlement of affairs.
The London papers in place of the news re-
garding the alleged renewal of fighting
between the Servians and Bulgarians, print a
statement that owing to the censorship of the
Servian authorities they find it impossible to
give any facts regarding the situation at the
front. There are wild reports of various kinds,
but they cannot be traced to any correspond
ent at the front. The papers are grumbling
over the serious loss to which they are sub
jected in having to support expensive staffs of
correspondents ct the seat of hostilities with
out being able to obtain any advantage there
from in the way of furnishing news for their
readers.

by representing that he was on the inside and

enforce those there now.
Col. A. K. Mcclure says the tariff revision

The new registry law in Oregon takes eff

Colonel Joseph Hodgson, OF Mobile, is one
of the men talked about for the democratic

An Extraordinary Suicide.

John B. Mueller, manufacturer OF grave
stones, attempted suicide at Dubuque,
Iowa, in the most extraordinary manner.
While alone in his shop he drove two
stone-chisels into his head, one going en-
tirely through and protruding upon the
other side. The other entered his head for
about one inch and a half. One chisel en-
tered the right side of the head about an
inch in front and above the ear, and came
out in nearly a corresponding place on the
left side. The other chisel he drove into
his forehead to the depth OF an inch and a
quarter. A few moments after the deed he
was found, and was conscious at the time,
but soon became insensible. Physicians
say there is no prospect OF his recovery.
Mueller has for some time been troubled
with melancholy.

rHrRrEEN BOILED An1yE.
Telescoping of Trains on a Tennessee Rail-
road-Passengers Literally BoIeI Alice.

To0d-Pdssea0ers Literally BoueI Alice.
Atlanta (Ga.) dispatch: Il frightful and
fatal collision occurred this morning short
iy after midnight on the Georgia Pacific,
about fifteen miles from Atlanta, in which
eleven lives were lost and three persons
were so badly injured that it is thought
death will result. The circumstances Of the
wreck are as follows: The East Tennessee
and Georgia Pacific trains use the same
track from Atlanta to Austell, where they
i~,iverge, one going west and the other north.
They, however, leave the city from different
depots and meet just at the city limits and
from there both use the same track to Aus
tell. Just one mile east of Austell, towards
Atlanta is a water tank used by the Geor-
gia Pacific. The night passenger train OF
the Georgia Pacific leaves here at 10 O'Clock
and the East Tennessee train leaves at
1915. Last night, however, the Georgia
Pacific train had been somewhat delayed,
and when it stopped at the water tank it
was on the East Tennessee's time.
The East Tennessee passenger train came
flying around the curve near the water
tank, and without a moments warning
went crashing into the rear OF the Georgia
Pacific train. Engineer Owen and the fire
man of the Fast Tennessee train saw the

q collision. The fireman jumped from the
engine but the engineer remained at his post,
reversing the engine and applying the
brakes. He was unable, however, to avert
the collision. The engine tore it's way into
the rear OF the coach, and the real coach
telescoped the one in front OF it which was
forced into the one ahead of that again.
The rear coach was filed with passengers,
many of whom were so pinned down by the
vCraply that fhev wprn ms hla tn stir and pS-
Gaping steam soon caused the death OF five
or six. Cries OF the injured rent the air; all
was darkness, and the statements OF those
who FASTENED to the scene are to the effect
that words car not describe the awfulness
OF the situation. AS soon as possible the
East Tennessee train backed from the
wreck and the work of removing the dead
and Wounds commenced. Following is q
corrected list OF the killed:

gia Pacific, formerly OF Charlottesville, Va,

The Commercial Gazette, of Pittsburgh, pub
fishes a communication from James Briggs, a
miner employed at the Alliquippa mines of
Lynn e. Co., in which he makes the startling
statement that as an outcome of recent riots
at Pine Run the working miners have organized
for the purpose of defending themselves
against future attacks of strikers. He says
they have a sworn family compact demanding
life for life if any of their number falls while
going to work. Thu letter defends the working
miners and asserts that few persons not located
near Monongahela Valley have any idea of
the terrorizing threats used towards those re-
fusing to join the strike.

And in dress which gypsies never wear,
She told my fortune on wheel Of fate.

And make my future fair to see!

And wond'rlng should / never see her
Musing how strange and queer she made me
feel,

oh, big, bright wheel IL was not meet

They helped me in, for I was stunned and
dazed,
My poor bumped head they kindly tried to
nurse,
And on my dear ones form again gazed--
My head grew better and my heart grew
worse.
thanked you for your shabby trick,
o, shameless wheel, 80 bright and quick!
And after that, as I rode by each day,
y used to bow, to stop and then to wait
Till finally always rode that way
And never farther than the little gate
o, how you leaned against that gate
In those bright days, big wheel of fate!
The rest-how can ever tell the restY
One day, the gladdest day Of all my life,
with daisies in her hand and on her breast,
The gypsy girln became my own dear wife
For orange flowers are out of date,
But daisies look like wheels of fate.
