the perfume of dollhouse bloom.
There was an actual ''crush' ofthe

She came at last, in her flowing
bridal draperies, orange buds upon
her, and dainty bridal roses that
were not whittier than her girlish cheek.
She took her place at the side of the
expectant bridegroom, who was him

denly upon those about them, while
outside the evening gloom half hid a
woman, crouching under one of the
low, unfastened windows, over which
velvet curtains fell, but through which
the clear tones Of the Clergyman
voice reached the listener.

There was slight pause, but no re-
spouse came from the guests, among
whom Charlie Vincent stood, calm and
proud, but very pale.
The clergyman resumed, proceeding
with the ceremony, when suddenly the
curtain that concealed one of the win
dows was thrust aside. The sash was
pushed further up, and a woman-a
stranger to them all-stepped into the
room. She advanced toward the
clergyman, the guests making way for

a Young Heroine.

An accident occurred last Thursday
upon the Z. w. & B. r. r. to freight
train. caused by the breaking Of an axle
rs the train was coming down
heavy grade near Elkton, by which II
or Is cars were totally wrecked, and
the track was badly torn up. 1t hap
pened just at the foot of the lawn of the
residence of Mr.. VIM. DeGoey, ut Belle
Hill, close to which the tracks run, and
not hundred yards from the house.
When the accident occurred his daugh-
ter, Miss Jennie DeGocy, was standing
upon the lawn, looking at the long
train of cars gliding rapidly down the
grade and was startled by suddenly see
ing them crash together in mass, tel
escoping one another, and piling up a
confused mass Of broken timber, iron
work, wheels, trucks, &C., completely
blocking and tearing up both tracks for
Il considerable distance. At the same
Instant she observed another train COM
ing down rapidly upon the wreck, aud
not a half a mile away. The crew Of
the wrecked train were too much dazed
and excited to think of anything but
their own condition at the time, indeed
they could not see the approaching
train as sharp curve interviewed, but
Miss DeGoey, from the elevated posi-
ton she occupied, had clear view of
the track both ways. She saw that to
save the approaching train prompt ac-
ton was necessary, and she WAS equal
to the occasion. Snatching off her red
petticoat, she ran rapidly up the track,
and, using the garment rs signal, at
tractsd the attention of the engineer,
who stopped his train just in the nick
of time. There is but little doubt that
q second accident with loss Of life would
have occurred, had not Miss DeGoey
observed the approaching train, and
acted with the admirable presence OF
mind and good judgment she displayed.

From sleep 10 Death.

Saturday night about half-past twelve
O'Clock fire broke out in a five-story
tenement house on First Avenue, New
York, starting in room filled with in
flammable material, which quickly
burned up, filling the house with fmoke.
The tenants became anic-stricken.
Some jumped to the street from the win
dows and others rushed down stairs,
falling over each other, and suffering
Injuries of more or less serious nature.
When the alarm was sent out the en-
gines of the district were putting out
fire that was caused by defective fiue
in Park avenue. 1t delayed the firemen
somewhat in getting to First avenue
When they did arrive they found the
house surrounded by great crowd, and
dead, dying and wounded were lying
on the sidewalk and in the halls and
bedrooms. The cries Of agony were
heartrending. A general alarm was
sent out, and ainbulances, doctors and
policemen came to the scene in goodly
numbers. The wounded were selected
AS rapidly as possible from the dead and
conveyed to Bellevue Hospital. In half
an hour fourteen wounded were lying
in cots in the hospital, and as many doc
tors worked over them, trying to re-
store life or alleviate pain. Ten per-
sons lost their lives, either having been
suffocated or killed by jumping from
windows.

Terrific Boiler Explosion.

At Galveston, Texas, on Sunday
morning, a terrific explosion occurred.
One of the boilers Mt the Fremont Hotel
blew up, Instantly killing four persons,
wounding several others, and doing
great damage to the hotel and neigh
boring property. The killed were the
engineer and fireman, a colored man
and white woman. The boiler was sit
uated at the northwest corner OF the
building, and was small one-story
brick structure attached to the main
building. The explosion shook the
great building with such terrible force
that the guests thought an earthquake
had occurred, and ran panic stricken
about the Railways. Not one brick OF
the boiler house remains upon another,
but scattered about for half square lie
the debris of the building, engine,
pumps and boilers. The northwest
wing of the hotel, adjoining the boiler
house, was badly damaged, the wall be-
ing cracked and the windows demolish-
ed. Fortunately but few guests were
quartered in this portion Of the building.
There were two horizontal tubular
boilers, each OF sixty-horse power, at
tached to the hotel, only oIe of which
was being used at the time of the ex-
plosion. Both boilers were new. They
were manufactured in St. Louis, and
were set up only last October. AS the
mass of iron left its bed it shot away
from the main structure, passing out OF
the engine-house enc first. 1t crossed
an intervening yard, passed through
two-story frame building where SER
wants slept, then crossed Twenty-fourth
street. passing entirely over story
and-a-half frame house, fronting on
Twenty-fourth street, then crashed
through the roof of small frame house
occupied by colored family, who es-
eaped unhurt. Continuing onward 1t
entered a one-story house Of ill-repute
kept by colored woman. This house
was practically annihilated, not one
stick being left standing. 1t was here
that Clara Miller, the white woman,
was killed, and Maurice Sullivan fatally
injured. Every colored occupant of
the house escaped uninjured. After
causing this destruction the giant mis-
sile finally landed inside of an adjoining
small structure, protruding half inside
the house and half out Various theo-
res are afloat concerning the cause of
the accident. The engineers who have
examined the wreck generally agree
that the boiler was defective.

Striking Coal Miners.

A dispatch from Piedmont, w. Va,
to the Baltimore american says: Mr..
Thomas B. Davis, a brother of ex-Sena-
tor Henry G.. Davis, arrived here Tues
day from Elk Garden, in company with
James Little, superintendent of the
Armstrong mine, belonging TO the Big
Vein Company, of West Virginia, at
Window, a station along the road. Mr..
Little showed the following notice,
which was posted up Monday, written,
but not printed:
On and after Tuesday, May 5, 1885,
we, your employees, demand fifty Ger is
per ton for mining, and all other labor
in proportion.
Answer by notice at mouth Of mine.
No meetings will be held whatever.
(Signed) Your EMPLOYEES.
The operators took no notice Of the
poster, and when Mr.. Little arrived at
the mine Tuesday, all the men were out.
One hundred men work in that mine.
At the Atlantic mine, of West Virginia,
where Levi Il. Dewitt, OF Piedmont, is
superintendent, where sixty men are
generally employed, all were on strike.
At Elk Garden mine, No. /, only about
forty men were at work. At Elk Gar
den, Nos. 2 and 3, about ten were work
ing. Whether this strike will extend to
all the mines along the Georges Creek,
remains to be seen. The Maryland min
ers are getting ready to hold big meet
ing on Saturday next, when all the
minos will be represented by delegates.
The mines in the Elk Garden region, it
is said Tuesday night, will be closed up
Wednesday, unless the men 60 to work
at six o'clock. They will all be paid of,
and probably most Of them discharged.
A number of miners were In Piedmont
Tuesday night with their time orders in
their pocket. The meeting at Lonacon-
ING Wednesday will settle the question
of a strike in the Georges Greek region.
If the Georges Creek miners refuse to
strike, it will be question whether Elk
Garden miners will be taken back. Ex-
Senator Henry G. Davis is in Richmond,
and is represented here by his brother,
Thomas B. Davis.

Another Death Trap.

Another horrible accident occurred I'D
Brooklyn on Tuesday, caused by the
collapsing and burning Of five-story
building, occupied BY several manu-
featuring firms, who employed four
hundred persons, mostly women. The
cause of the fire was the Overturning OF
the boilers of soap factory en- the sec
ond floor. The west wall of the middle
wing, on Atlantic street, had settled;
workmen were screwing it up with
iacks: the middle jack had been screwed
ND too high, and it was lowered, when
the W hole weight of the wall came upon
the two jacks at the end, and it fell.
There was loud crash then rumbling
sound, followed quickly by the piercing
and agonizing cries of numbers OF
Young women who were employed on
the upper floors. The building had
csught fire. Like finder IL burned.
The stairways and rooms were filled
with smoke. The occupants in the up
per stories of the death-trap became
anic-stricken. Some of the poor girls
had been caught and hemmed in by the
falling timbers from the roof. line
others, when the fire burst forth,
crowded 10 the froLt windows, and II
is feared that number Of them perish
ed. Nearly all could have been saved
had they been calm, but crazed with
terror, some of them jumped from the
windows, and many others were taken
out in a fainting condition. Many Of
the girls who jumped from the windows
were caught by the firemen and volun-
teer life savers. Eight strong men
held 4 blanket, which broke the fall OF
a number of the girls. The fremen
made every effort to stay the progress
of the flames, but the infammable char
acter and peculiar construction OF the
building afforded them little chance to
save it. The structure had so many
windows with wooden easements and
so many interior shafts that it was like
a blast furnace within the first half an
hour, and returned the streams Of
water in The shape of steam without In
the least diminishing the brightness OF
the blaze. Just before the main wall
fell Daniel j. Lowery, the engineer,
who was under the impression that his
wife was in the building, frantically
made a dash for the entrance. Ee was
buried beneath the wall. That was the
last of him. There were about twenty
persons injured, and three killed. The
scene at the police station, where the
dead bodies removed from the ruins
were conveyed, was pitiful one. A
bed quilt WAS thrown over the bodies,
and many people came to see if they
could not recognize the undistinguisha-
bic black mass. All failed, however,
and all statements were simply guess
work. NiLe dead bodies had been found
IN to Thursday
