| By the displacement of gllard-rail, at
Annapolis, last Sunday morning, No. COS had
about as serious an accident barring loss OF
life--as the road has experienced for several
months. Two sleepers and two coaches were
| thrown from the track aud overturned-the
forward part of the train having passed the
danger point in safety. The passengers in
the overturned coaches were of course badly
shaken up, and many of them badly bruised,
but no bones were broken. Hon. j. w.
Bergman was on board, having made the
| inaugural trip of several thousand miles
safely, to be spilled out and banged up at
the very threshold of his home. IN fact, he
was about AS seriously injured as any per-
| son on the train. He was standing on the
| platform of the coach, ready to step off when
the car careened throwing him about twen-
ty feet on to the roadbed. His right shout
tier struck first, and a partial dislocation was
the result. He wrote us note giving us the
| above facts in reference to his mishap-"tO
excuse myself for not fulfilling a promise l
| see you made in last weeks REGISTER"
We regret that he has good an excuse
to offer; for we are sure, under more favora
BILE circumstances he would have told us
iHdIlf we NOulu like 10 Teau. MI.
Bergman was highly favored as to position
during the delivery of the inaugural, and
heard every word distinctly. He considers
Grover Cleveland his ideal of great man,
and very graceful and forcible speaker.
Afterward, Mr.. 3. was introduced to and
shook hands with the President-the first
Democratic National Chief Executive, he
says to do anybody a like honor, for nearly
twenty-five years.
Rev. Cooley was in Fredericktown last
week. " e trust he will keep on in the good
work until all our neighbors are reclaimed
and regenerated. But he has a hefty job be-
fore him.-IrOaton Register.
Yes, "rather hefty," Bro. AXE, but nothing
in comparison to the war against satan and
cohorts which the evangelist feels he will
have to wage at 1ronton, the Jericho of
Southeast Missouri. He is now engaged in
goin1Rround its Observation-Disclosures.
The mas been much interest pro and con |
during the whole meeting. We are inform
ed that about 100 We're converted. Rev. |
Godbey left Tuesday for Pennington where |
he will hold another meeting to strengthen |
the nerves of the 16o converts at that place |
recently made.
Will Bro. AXE, of IrOntOn, please take no |
tice as he may come that way.-Stdnddrd.
Humph. brothers what are you talking |
about! IrontOn was converted long ago,
and there isn't ''mother's- SON of "a gun"
within her wide corporate limits but is full |
of religion from the soles of his feet to his
his chin, and that accounts for the happy,
prosperous condition of the ''Hub," you see.
No bad man can live here. Even the horse
thieves flee away from us and steer straight
for our neighbOring suburb, Fredericktown.
Bro. Cooley doesn't come this way,of course.
Why? Because he knows that its not the
righteous, but sinners, who demand his
snatching from the impending burning. 'Tis
not to the elect, but to the lost children of
the house of Israel, he is sent to minister.
You see.
