A COLLISION ON THE RAIL.
Two Locomotives Telescoped on the South
Carolina Railway.

Two Locomotives IeleSCOpeC On tne South
Carolina Railway.
A collision between the Charleston
bound Augusta passenger train, Con-
ductor Webb, and an outwari-bound
freight train, Capt. Goodwin, occurred
about one-quarter Of mile this side Of
Sineath's Station, a few minutes after
O'Clock yesterday morning. The usual
place of meeting is at Sineatil's, and
the accident is probably owing to
faulty time-piece in the hands of one of
the conductors. The passenger train
people claim to have been on time, with
the right of way. The freight train
people evidently thought the same thing,
and came on with a full head Of steam.
All hands on both engines jumped into
the water wheI they saw the accident
inevitable, the engineer of the passenger
train reversing his engine first, however.
Ffc result " as u wreck. The passenger
engine being at a reverse, drew itself
out of the wreck, its forewbeels of the
rails, smokestack gone, and its entire
front badly battered, when its engineer
quickly boarded and stopped her. The
engine of the freight train suffered by
far the most injury. Its forewheels
were driven under its fireboX, while the
body of the engine diagonally across
the track. The tender was jerked COM
pletely from the track and thrown over
on its side, the first box car telescoping
the engine. There was no injury, ex-
cepting to a few crossties, done to the
track, and nobody was hurt.-News and

threw rope around the sleeper's neck

Then noiselessly opening the door of

body into the road. leaped out himself,
and after robbing the corpse of a pocket
book stuffed with notes, concealed the
body among the brushwood. The next
night he had returned with spade and

Such Is the trustworthy narrative
related to us the other dayin the contest

grandson of a Marshal of France, to
which it was related by the great musi-

declare, if they please, that musicians
are highly imaginative people and often

Joseph dreamed with his eyes open.

A GRAND GRAFTON.
The Remarkable and Peculiar Power of
President Lincoln's Oratory.

The Remarkable and Peculiar Power OF
President Lincoln's Oratory.
Mr.. Lincoln's grafton at the dedica-
ton of the Getty ysburg cemetery was
undoubtedly his masterpiece. A great
crowd stood about the platform in the
presence of the new-made trenches and
graves OF the soldiers, patiently listen
ing to the elaborate and highly-pol-
ished oration of Edward Everett, who,
faultlessly dressed, with modulated
voice and graceful action, delivered his
well-rounded periods. It was a calm,
thoughtful, statesman-like view of the
situation. Only two or three times did
the hearers manifest any excitement
1t was a solemn occasion, and all
seemed to be sadly depressed. The
North had, after bloody battle, driven
the South back to their homes that
was all; the future was inexplicable.
Mr.. Everett. having at last closed, the
next speaker on the programme was
Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States. As he came forward
his presence never seemed more
peculiar, and his ungainliness of figure,
Lib cAOuCAlHCoo VI I'll CcS duu Ills dugu~
larity of gesture, as contrasted with
the gracefulness of person, speech and
manner which had distinguished Mr..
Everett, produced for the moment a
feeling of disappointment, and had the
double effect of exciting curiosity and
sharpening anticipation. Tall, un-
calmly, but with every line of his face
expressive of care and grief, the Presi-
dent delivered his short and epigram-
matte sentences in shrill, piping voice,
at times almost shrieking out out that
grand epic whose sentiments and words
will resound in future ages. As Mr..
Lincoln proceeded, no face ever more an.
mistakably mirrored aconviction than
did Mr.. Everett's, that by these few
and weighty sentences the memory of
what he said was erased. The OF alton
of Mr.. Everett, abounding in classi-
cal references and faultless in rhetoric,
did not move the hearts of the people
as did the plain, sententious speech of
Mr.. Lincoln. When, at the close of
the exercise, Mr.. Everett congratu-
lated the President, he remarked
laughingly, but with sense Of truth:
"You have said all on this occasion
that will be remembered by posterity."

A Big Blow.

VALLEY CITY, Dak. June l1.--A tor
nado passed through this section this
evening 1t was first noticed about 6
O'Clock. a heavy dark, mass of CLOUDS
gathered in the northwest. with brisk,
cool wind. Claps of thunder and very
heavy lightning followed. At $3.50 it
became dark and the air was full of fly
ing lumber and dust. 1t looked like a
very dangerous affair. People ran to
their homes, many getting in the cellars.
The damage in tins city, however, is
very Slight. One Garner was found
hanging to telegraph pole, e,unhurt. A
counter blew 800 feet and landed beside
him. Paul Parado's windmill, 100 feet
high, was blown down. Smith a mer-
chant, had large pane of glass broken
out of his front store window. 1t is
thought that this city is so far below the
elevation, and the rain coming on so
quick, it seemed to separate the wind
and stop it's force. The wind blew
about twenty minutes, and the rain
lasted forty five minutes, coming
down in spouts.
