From the Aurora Springs Messenger.
We see it stated that our friend, j.
Med. Trimble, of Mexico, has entered
into a partnership with Dobson Il
Douglass at Kansas City, and will re-
move from Mexico to that place JAN
uary l. 1887. Mr.. Trimble is one Of
the most promising, as he is n Of
the most brilliant, young members of
the Missouri bar. He is q close stu
dent, upright, careful and painstaking
in all his work, and as an advocate
has few equals in his profession in
northeast Missouri. In his wider
field we predict for him a position
away up yonder. So mote it be.

A MAN is doing the Lords when he
is faithful to his employer-does a

his temper; when he is careful to

courteous to strangers, and lends a
helping hand to the needy: when he
has a word of encouragement for the

Of industry and honesty when he re-
turns good for evil; when he leads
such an upright, benevolent, God

THE FAMILY IANNlSS.

The political battle nov tlagrant in
between the Hon. Bob
aud his brother, the Hon, Alt
is attracting attention on both
sides of the Atlantic. Not only do
all Americans feel u deep interest in
the progress of this unique campaign,
but Englishmen who are curious in
the matter of political novelties are
discussing the remarkable situation
The English newspapers are full OF
g~rotesque misinformation about the
great Taylor family.
The father of the Taylor brothers
is a Methodist Episcopal preacher
who went into politics before the
war, and served in the Thirty-third
Congress when Bob vas a baby. The
old gentleman was a friend Of his
neighbor, Andy Johnson, and went to
Congress a second time in 1866. He
is now an ardent Prohibitionist, and
that party, which is making consider
able Roadway in East Tennessee, is
seriously considering the ~expediency
of running him for Governor against
his two sons Bob and Aft. There
are four other brothers, and they are
said to represent four more sorts of
politics. None of them agrees with
Bob or Aft; none of them agrees with
any of his brothers on the great
questions of the day. AS for the
mother Of this astonishing family she
is said to be n warm advocate Of
woman suffrage.
ALT is the Republican candidate for
Governor. He is described by those
who know him best as = sedate and
conservative gentleman, who lacks
Bob's immense social rivacity. Peo-
pie respect ALI, but they don't hang
around him lovingly and beg him to
take down his fiddle and play them a
mountain jig between drinks. Atthe
last election of a Governor in Tennes-
see the Democratic candidate had n
majority of about 1000. Alfred's
main chance, therefore, is in the hope
that the old gentleman may run as q
Prohibltionist, and draw away eight
or ten thousand votes from Bob.
The country knows more about
Bob, the Democratic candidate for
Governor. He has run for Congress
three times against Pettibone OF
Grecnville, and he was elected once.
The story of Bob's canvass in the
mountains is historical. He fiddled
his way through every township,
making friends and winning votes
wherever he went. A correspondent
of the Atlanta Constitution gives an
interesting account of the events
preceding Bob's election to the For
ty-sixth Congress.
"Outside of the village debating
society Bob Taylor had never made
a speech. But Bob could play the
fiddle. He was asked by al Italian
musician upon n occasion If he
could play the 'wioleen.' 'Wiolin!'
he calculated, Il never heard of the
thing! But I'm h on the fiddle.
He could play the fiddle with his
left hand as well as with his right.
Susanna in the Gourd,' Odd Dan
Tucker 'Whoop-te-doodle-doo, and
Run, Niger, Rum were among the
choice selections with which he was
wont to charm in his audience.

Awful Scenes Described by an Eye-Wit-
ness,

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. l5.-There are
various causes given for the fatal
wreck. Engineer William Harris of the
had orders to meet the excursion at
Irving. He failed to obey the instruc-
tons, and was running at full speed when
the collision occurred. The trainmen
will not talk regarding who is to blame.
A gentleman who was on the train says
the freight train had orders to go to Sill
yer Creek, and the passenger train to
Irving, which is this side, and it was
these orders that caused the collision.
The passenger and excursion train con-
sisted of fourteen coaches. The excite
ment on the train among those who es-
capped was intense. The scenes in the
smoking car can hardly be described.
The first warning given was a slight jar
caused by the heavy pressure OF the air.
brakes. Some of the passengers braced
themselves in their seats, seemingly ap-
%prehensive of danger. Then came the
| terrible shock, followed by the smash
ing of windows and the roof of the
car, and all was a mass Of
bleeding and struggling humanity;
men were locked in each others arms
covered with blood, while underneath
them and on all sides lay the poor unfor-
Inmates who were instantly killed and
crushed out of all human resemblance.
The sight was a terrible one, and it re-
| quired the stoutest nerves to induce one
to take a second look. The wounded
crawled out of the debris and were as
sisted to ~neighboring houses. People
brought bedding, ETC., on which to lay
the dead and'dying, and all that could
! tI-, T.. 1~.A~ ,-a- - ,ryns4 r,nEst Enl~
which had been Immediately sent for,
arrived.
Mrs. J. H. Sigel, of Erie, Pa, a pas
senger on til e Inflated excursion train,
was on her way to Buffalo. She arrived
here safely yesterday afternoon. In an
interview she said: al was in the first
coach, next to the smoking car. The
passenger train was a large one, and car
ried a large number of excursionists, as
we'll as regular passengers. The first we
knew of the collision was a terrific crash
like an explosion. Nobody was hurt eX.
cept those in the smoking-car. The
sight was so horrible that / could not
look at it. Not a single car was thrown
from the track, but the smoker was com
pletely telescoped. 1t was a miracle that
our car was not crushed also
1t was a narrow escape. One
young man in the smoker saved himself
by dropping on the floor, and escaped
with a few bruises. l did not learn thu
cause of the accident, but we were COINS
very slow, while the freight was coming
at a high rate of speed. We were jus
one coach length off the trestle when tn,
collision occurred. The people of Silve,
Creek were very kind, and did all in thei
power. The ladies turned out and sen
up bedding, ETC., for the wounded. Som
of them were taken to different houses
and one of the coaches was turned into
hospital"

ST. LorIs, Dec. S.-A special to the
Post Dspatch from Poplar Bluff, Mo-,
says: W. W. Stead, an alderman Of this
city and well known throughout the
country, was supposed to have died last
Sunday eveaine. Ills Douy was laid out
and all arrangements were made for the
funeral, which was to have occurred to-
day. Yesterday, however, signs Of re-
suscitatlon became apparent, and the
face assumed its natural color; the tenn
perature of the body became distinctly
higher, and the eyelids opened and shut
several times. He was spoken to. but
gave no sign that he heard or understood.
1t is thought possible that he may be
brought back to life, although efforts of
physicians to accomplish that end have so
lar failed. In the meantime the funeral
has been postponed.
