pEerIOus ADVENTURE.
Hanging 20 the outside of n I.ocomo-
tive Going Forty Miies aa Hour.


lstaunton Vindicator.l
Last week at Crozet station, on the
Chesapeake aud Ohio road. Captain
G. I. Morton, general agent Of the
Staunton Life, was invited by the en-
gineer of the fast express to ride on the
engine thirteen miles to Charlottesville
and see how the fast train went over a
smooth track. Before the train had
gone a mile, however, the blast
of the engine got out Of fix
and a great volume Of flame and
smoke burst out Of the fre-box, envelop-
ing everything. The clothing Of the en-
pineer and fireman took fire. and they
were driven out Of the cab back on to
the tender. The. engineers clothing,
being oily, was burning fercely, and he
snatched off the top of the manhole Of
the tank and jumped down into the
water. Captain Morton climbed out OF
the cab window and clung on to the
outside of the engine, which was flying
along at the rate of forty miles an hour.
The situation all around was most peri
lous; but the engineer after quench-
ing his burning clothing scrambled
out of the water, rushed into the flame,
and held there until he could get hold
of the lever and reverse his engine.
This soon slackened the speed, the train
was stopped, and the fire was extin-
guisbed with water from the tank. The
interior Of the cab was badly burned,
and the cushion on which Captain Nor
ton had been sitting was burned up.
The face and hands Of the engineer and
the fremen we're badly scorched, as
we're Captain Morton's.

A Russiau-COurt FayOritc.

Princess Natalie Kurakin, says the
London Figaro, was an imposing beau-
ty, with the temper Of a fiend, and be-
came the most admired and feared wo-
man at the court Of the late Emperor
Alexander. Her husband idolized her,
but unfortunately allowed her complete
control over him. TO indulge her love for
luxury he went beyond his means, and
then sold one estate after another. One
night when she was adorned in full
splendor for a court ball the General
kept her waiting. At last he came, great
ly excited, with a red face and flashing
eyes. She supposed the excitement was
caused by wine, and told him so in
vehement words. "No, darling" he
protested "look !" And he handed
her package of rouble notes. BAH"
she replied, ~ will cure you Of clubs
and gaming " and she threw them into
the fire. lie shrieked in despair, and
rushed forward to save them. Too
late There was a bright blaze, and
they were gone. Natalie" be said,
in hollow voice, "you have just de-
stroyed our whole fortune. To-day |
received orders from the Emperor to
Join the army in the Caucasus to-mor-
row. In order to secure yours and our
sons future I to-day sold our last
estate, and everything is now in ashes"
General Kurakin was killed in one Of
his first engagements in the Caucasus,
and Natalie became the most heartless
of widows.

kneeling, struck him with his ns''

blow at the others head. Inc man

1t seemed that one or both would be
thrown over and dashed to pieces on

badly hurt. They were separated and
sent to different portions of the work.

follow because General Terry will sue

Entering the army he commanded the

A Cold Time for NJ. Lesssr.

dent Of The Pioneer, with the Afghan
boundary Commission, says: "On the

THE COCKADE CITY.

Roam TO BE PUSHED FORWARD.
Large Force to be Pat TO wOrk-The Trial
Of Puryear-Tobacco Interest
Sudden Death.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch
pprPRsRURG. March IL, 1886.

lCorrespondence OF the Richmond Dispatch
PETERSBURG, March IL, 1886.
II is learned on good authority that
large force of workmen will be put to
labor on the Atlantic and Danville rail-
road next week for the construction oil
the road from Hicksford west to Dan
vile. and that the work will be pushed
forward to completion as rapidly as
possible.
Our tobacco-manufacturers have large
orders on hand for export shipments,
and the prediction is made that this
years record Of exports will be much
larger than that Of any previous year.
Some Of the manufacturers experience
difficulty in getting laborers for the to-
bacco they desire to put up.
1t is learned from citizens OF Din
widdie that great interest is felt in the
trial Of Holmes r. Puryear, which is
to commence next Tuesday. Ii is ex-
pected that 3 great crowd will be pre-
sent to hear the evidence. There IS
thought to be little doubt that the jurors
will be summoned from one Of the
neighboriDg counties, where the facts IN
the case are not so familiar as they are
in Dinwiddie, and where so much preju-
dice does not exist against the prisoner.
The prosecution shows every DISPOSE
ton to accord the prisoner the fairest
trial, and has agreed that the jury shall
be drawn from some other vicinage-
relying on the evidence to be presented
to secure conviction. 1t is learned to-
day, however, that should Judge Han
cock decline to 90 outside Of the county
for a Jury the defence will ask a post
ponement of the trial until the 7th OF
April-the regular term of the Circuit
Court.
Jeff. Weaver, a worthy colored man
with a large family, living on the farm
of Mr.. Richard Boisseau, near Din
widdie Courthouse. was employed for
several days to work for Mr.. j. Y.
Harris at the Courthouse. Yesterday,
while carrying a bundle Of slabs in his
arms, he fell to the ground and died
withou, a word or struggle. 1t is sup
posed that death was caused by heart
disease.

Ward catastrophe, will be inherited BY
his daughter, Mrs. Grant. 1t is sup
posed to amount to from seven hun
bred thousand to eight hundred thou
sand dollars.
jerome b. Chafee was born In
Niagara county, n. Y, April II,
1926. His family moved while he was
young 10 Adrian, Mich, where he mar
lied and made his start in life. The
death of his wife, when his daughter
NOW Mrs. Grant, was ten months old,
broke up his home. He went to St.
Joseph, Mo-, where he established him.
self as banker. Ia 1857 he went to
Elmwood, Kan. where banking and
real estate kept him actively and pros
perously employed until 1860. Then
he again moved and settled in what is
now Gilpin county, COL, and went at
once into mining. Gold was the object
of his search. Within five years he
was said to be a stakeholder in at least
one hundred gold and silver-mines.
They raised and lowered his fortunes
repeatedly. OF late he had great sue
cess.
Mr.. Chailee took part in public affairs
from the time Of his emigration to Col
orado. lie represented his county in
the first Territorial Legislature in 1861.
In 1868 he was Speaker of the House.
The Legislature elected him to the
United States Senate in 1865, when 1t
was hoped that Colorado might be adj
mitted to the Union. In 1871 he went
to Congress as the Territorial Delegate,
and during his two terms ne devoted
himself to making Colorado State. lie
never ceased to work for that object
until it was attained, for which he was
honored with election as the first United
States senator. lie took his seat on
December 4, 1876, serving until March
3. 1879. Mr.. Chaffee never held office
after his senatorial term, but served on
the Republican National Committees Of
1880 and 1884.
The relations Of Mr.. Chaffee with the
late General Grant are historically in
teresting. They began in strife, du-
ring 1875, when Chafiee bitterly OPP
posed the nomination of General Ed
ward McCook to be Governor Of Colo
rado. McCook was confirmed. In
1876 President Grant and Chailee be-
came recOnciled, and the vote of Colo
RADIO was thus secured for the Repub-
lican party in the election of that year
From that time the two men were
friendly, particularly so after the in'
teresting family relation before re-
ferred to was formed between them il
1850.
The deceased was of medium size
and stout. His hair had grown gray
and bald spots were plentiful on his
head. He had a massive head, solidly
planted on broad shoulders, an open
genial face, with smile on it oftenel
than repose, high and expansive brow
square set jaws, and steady gray eyes
His health was bad during the last year,
of his life, but his attention to bust
, ness was almost incessant.

Prince Alexander and the Jews.


The:anti.Jewish predjudices Of Cen
trail Europe are still strong in the Bal
kans, where an idea is entertained that
the Jews are much too favorable to the
Mahommedans, with whom they have
ties Of ceremonial and even of theology
cal kinship. They are therefore shame
fully prosecuted. Prince Alexander,
however, not only protects them, but
recently accepted the services Of q whole
battalion Of 500 men composed exclu-
siyely of Jews-an incident without q
precedent, we believe, in the history Of
Europe.
The Jews thus honorsd showed most
determined courage. and in the battle
of Sliynitza and the following engage
