SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
A Gas Main I'm the River at Pittsburgh
Broken by "a tug Boat

The tow boat iron City, was blown
to pieces near Pittsburgh, Pa, at an
early hour Wednesday morning while
stuck on the bar at the head of Hers
Island, in the Allegheny river. The
crew, numbering SIX men, were blown
into the river. The engineer, George
Ashton, was instantly killed, and
Jackson was fatally injured and the
others seriously hurt. The vessel was
burned down to the waters edge and
is total loss
About six o'clock Tuesday evening
the Iron City, in running down the
river, was swung onto the bar, where
she was badly aground just over the
pipe of the Philadelphia Gas Com
pany. All evening and up to the
time OF the explosion, the vessel tried
to back off into deep waite. Shortly
after o'clock final effort was made
to get off the bar The engines were
forced to their fullest capacity,
but the boilers could not stand the
pressure and collapsed The concus-
sion from the explosion was terrific,
and awOke the upper end of the two
cities. Pieces of the vessel were blown
from the middle of the river, where
the boat was grounded, to the Allie
gheny shore, 500 yards away. A part
of the cabin alightcd on the roof of
Gerde's tannery, directly opposite on
the Allegheny side. The boat took
Ere and burned rapidly to the waters
edge. The water was shall wv, and
the crew, with the exception of Ash
ton and Jackson, easily reached the
bar, Within few moments after the
explosion the river banks aud the
island became thicklv crowded with
people The few skitfs that could be
secured were at once filled witk eager
VS. OF rescuers, who FASTENED to
the scene uf the disaster. The survi
vors Of the crew were taken from the
bar and taken 10 the Allegheny shore
where all possible was done for their
injuries.
The Iron City was built in Pitts
burg eleven years ago, and was 1875
feet long and twenty-five feet wide.
When built she was considered an ex
cel(ent craft and has been continually
engaged in har Dor towing Her orig
inal cost was about $4,000

they had been lost during the day,
and with them other papers of value
TO her; that at this discovery she com
pletely broke down, and that after
telling her story, which seemed so
honest and truthful, the landiady had
concluded any way to provide for her
until morning came, when she would
make an effort to find what she had
lost, or give ample satisfaction in
some way as 10 her character; that
she had gone supperiess to her room,
and was apparently quite i'll as to the
result Of the misfortune.
Brown then informed Mrs. Fin
castle of his find, and the young lady
was requested TO come down to the
parlor, and. after describing the arti-
Giles lost, they were delivered to her.
She received them with many words
thanks and tears of joy. The land
lady read the recommendation and
took the names of two or three per-
sons in the city, and then informed
her boarder that she might consider
herself at home.
In an interview that followed Mr.
Brown learned that Miss D0rris had
come to this city from the state and
county where he had been raised, and
further questions ELECTED the fact that
the young lady was the daughter of
an old schoolmate of his, Miss Silnick,
whose husband had fallen In the war
for the Union but who had since mar
rled again. Further that Miss Doris
stepfather had made her home so un-
pleasant that, after teaching a year or
two in her native county, she had
turned her face west ward, and had
subse euently drifted to this great city
for employment The letter of recon-
mendation was from some good friends
of hers at Castleton, n Y, who wish
ed her success She had arrived in the
city with very little means, and there
being no opening for teaching had
sought and obtained temporary en-
ploy ment in book bindery, but work
had fallen IF, she was not an expert
and had been discharged, and, as her
means were slender had come to the
West Side seeking cheaper board. This
was her story.
Brown looked over her references
and informed her that he would give
her place in his store as cashier as
soon as she was able to enter upon its
duties, and BIDDING her adieu, he went
home and related to his bachelor room
mate his adventure. Before he went
to sleep he tried to solve the question
whether his thoughts in the forenoon
had any connection with the appear
ance of this young woman, the daught
err of the blue-eyed girl he had known
so well forty years ago, Who can
telll
Tho young lady became Browns
Cashier the next day, and in less than
a year she became Mrs. Brown aud
she is very happy little woman, and
her hus band is as thrifty as ever and
as happy as school-boy.
Hiring that new Cashier" re-
marked Mr. Brown one day, was the
best investment | ever made in my
life. She knows how to run the bus

IRON is washing into or from the ladle,
or when iron with welding heat is
withdrawn from the forge, or such as
seen when the liquid metal drops up
on the earth, or such as is seen in the
wake of an exploded rocket. The
strangest feature to me was, no such
sparks or stars appeared except at the
end of the line of fire rain, which
stopped about five feet from the earth,
as near as l can judge. The piazza
had three steps from the ground. l
could not have been more than three
feet high, and the line of fire rain
burst into sparks on level with my
eyes. None that l saw struck the
earth, but after sparkling on this
line, disappeared to be succeeded by
others in quick succession. Irecollect

A Wife Can Testify For Her Husband
Savannah News


By a ruling of Judge Spee1 in the
United States court yesterday, the pre-
cedent was established of allowing
wife to testify in case in which her
husband Is a defendant The case is
that of Oliver Williams, colored,
charged with passing a counterfeit
dollar The transaction occurred Aug.
"a, 1885. Williams was a street arab
and peddled watermelons around the
city. On the day III question he
bought a load of melons from negro
named Houston. The latter alleges
that a silver dollar paid him by Viii
iiams was counterfeit, and that Will
Hams had said he intended to pass it
on SEINE of the island niggers." Will
lams was put upon the stand, and he
denied ever having the coin in his
possession.
LIZ Williams, his wife, was call
ed by the defense, and District Attor-
ney objected. He stated that he knew
of no instance in any of the books
where United States Court had per-
mitted wife to testify in such case.
4 hOIo sSCuuo W o6 no law on Lub v ueS-
ton, and Mr. Darnell quothe the sta
tute law of Georgia and the common
law, DO h of which forbid wife
from testifying for or against her hus-
band, except in suits for divorce, pro
secution for cruel treatment, and SINH
lar cases.
&c eenleaf on Evidence" was cited
and Wharton" Powell and Gamer
can Reports" we're referred TO.
The Judge said that h respected
the authorities quoted, and although
he did not know of any ruling of the
Uuited States Court on this point to
be found IN the reports, he recalled
one that came under his personal no
tice. The case was that of ex-pirate
Yarbroush, tried in Atlanta before
J Judge McCay, of the United States
Circuit Court, at the fall term of 1888.
The parties were charged with con
spiracy, and the wife of Jasper Var
brough was called TO prove an alibi
for her husband. Judge McCay held
That Mrs. Ydrbrough could testify. and
she was allowed 10 dose. Judge Speer
was associated in the case as counsel.
HIS Honor mentioned Judge McCays
ruling and remarked he would rule

lngly placed on the stand.

Relov'd-tis but Sream-yet still | see
The watching beauty Of your face so fair
watch again the light that never dies
Upon the yellow glory Of your hair.
I raze into the eyes that wrought my woe
The gray eyes flashing meath their heavy firing
watch the hue that glows upon your check,
The sweetest rosebud knows no fairer tnge.
And vet tits but a draam-the face lov'd
Will perfect, lie no more against N owns
The heart has ctas'd to beat fer me, and yet
NV love has never, never weaker grown.
How we can love IL women only knew
The pow'r she holds 10 work us good or III,
The happiness and peace her smiles may bring,
The sorrows that Ter voice has pow'r 20 still
Surely she could not prove to us unkind,
Surely she would not win us 70 betrayl
Knowing that she can give us life or death
Aud turn our darkest night into bright day.
Sweet forgive you--tho' your lovely face
Breaks In upon my lonely, unlov'd reel
have no powr TO judge love you still,
Altho' you broke The heart wit 10 my breast.
