Daniel Boone and the Lincoln Family.


Many will be surprised that the pic
ture by Thomas Sully of Daniel Boone.
in the November Century just issued,
in connection with 1.-The Life of Lin
coln,' is said to have been painted
from life by the celebrated Philadel-
phia artist. Mr.. Sully died only in
1872, but ut the time of Boone's death,
in 1920, Sully was about thirty-seven
years of age. having been born in 1888
1t appears from the new Life of Lincoln
that it was probably under the auspices
OF Boone that the grandfather of the
President set out from Rockingham
County, Virginia, to make a home fol-
himself and his family in that wild re-
gion which Boone was wrestling from
the savage holders" The Century will
print fac-simile from the field book OF
Daniel Boone recording the Lincoln
claim on the King River. 1t appears,
moreover, that one of the numerous
Abraham Lincolns married into the
Boone family in 1850.

The Congressional Issue La Toilette

A WILD ENGINE
into a Freight Train.
Two Wen Injured.

PARKERsBuRG, w. VA, Feb. ID
Early Sunday morning the west
bound freight eollided with a stray
engine on the track at Bridge So"
Just short distance the other side
of Kanawha station. The stray en-
CINE had no headlight burning, and
was running about thirty miles per
hour, and she struck the freight be-
fore the engineer could even check
his train. Both engines were dam
aged by the collision, and six freight
cars wrecked and ditched. Engineer
major" Anderson was on the freight
and whistled the alarm, pulled back
his reverse bar and jumped. He
struck bank and was thrown back
nearly under the train. He was
bruised and sustained badly
sprained wrist. The brakeman es-
capped without injury, but the fire
man, John Armsey, had started back
over the train and was thrown under
two wrecked cars. His cries at
tracted attention, and he was cut
out with axes. He was terribly
bruised, and it is feared sustained
internal injuries.
The engine with which the freight
collided was passenger engine No.
700, which brought in the evening
train. The "hostler" had attended
to it and left in ON switch in the
yard. The switchpin was found
forced open, and it is supposed that
some one took the engine from the
yard.
The Waterman at Kanawha sta
ton is positive that there was man
aboard when it passed there, but
there was none on the engine when
the collision occurred. Another the
DRY is that the engine was not left
in the "back notion as is custo-
mary, and that it raised steam
enough to make the run of twelve
miles in about twenty minutes. At
any rate no clue to the perpetrator
of the act has been found.

If the Safe Journal is correct in
its statement on the subject there is
a deal of criminal Matchmaking
going on just now in Parkersburg.
1t is practiced, generally, by n
man and his wife. The wife, who
will generally be seen well dressed,
acts as the ol-pigeon and displays
her charms by tireless parade on
the streets to decoy the nnwary.
The husband follows at respectful
distance. The woman takes her vic
tim home, when the husband PUSHES
in, claiming to be outraged and de
mands "hush' money or gore. He
generally gets the former as we have
heard of no gore shed. Sometimes
the programme is varied and they
encounter on some obscure street
Rumor says that these brazen-faced
thieves have succeeded in getting as
high as $500 from one individual
alone, even taking the notes of their
luckless victims payable after date.
A sealskin sacque and an ulster of
tar and feathers and an excursion
on fence rails is sure cure for such
piccadilloes.

During a recent term of circuit

The witness was i'll and had physi-

convincing language:
"This certifies that is af-

a Letter From YOur Sire.

The following interesting letter
from General Washington was writ
ten to Sir John Sinclair, an ancestor
of Hon. Josiah Sinclair, of Benwood,
Ohio county. He was a Scottish
baronet and visited this country to
inquire into the condition of the ag
ricultural industry, and from him
Sir Johns Run, Morgan county, is
said to take its name, in commemor-
alton of his party camping there
while ON n fox hunt. At the time
the letter was written Sir John Sin
clair was member of Parliament,
with large landed estates in Scot
land, where he did great deal of
experimental high-farming. Wash
ington's handwriting is very clear,
the characters well formed, and the
ink still of fairly good color.
PHILADELPHIA, 9th March, 1897.
SIR:-On the 18th of Deer wrote
you long letter and intended be-
fore the close of the last session Of
Congress (Which ended on the third
instant conformably to the Constitu
tion) to have addressed you again,
but oppressed as / was with the va
rious occurrences incident thereto,
especially in the latter part of it, it
has not been in my power to do so
during it's continuance; and now the
arrangements necessary to my de-
parture from this city-for a more
tranquil theatre, and for the indul
gence of rural pursuits, will oblige
me to suspend my purpose until l
am fixed at Mount Vernon, where /
expect soon to be; having resigned
the chair of government to Mr.. Jno.
Adams on Friday last, the day on
which / completed my second four
years. administration.
Under the circumstances here
mentioned l should not have troub-
led you at this time with so short a
letter but for the purpose of accom-
panying it with two or three pam
phlets on the subject of agriculture;
one of which treats more extensively
on Gypsum as manure than any I
have seen before.
The other two will only serve to
show what essays of similar kind
are making in this infant country.
l am sorry to add that nothing
final in Congress has been decided
respecting the institution of Ma
tional board of Agriculture recon-
mended by me at the opening of the
Session. But this did not, as | be-
lieve, proceed from any disinclina-
ton to the measure, but from their
limited sitting, and a pressure of
what they conceived more important
business. l think it highly proba-
BILE that next Session will bring this
matter to maturity.
With the highest esteem and res
pect, have the honor to be, Sir,
Yr. most H'bly O'bt Serv't,
G. WASHINGTON.
Sir John Sinclair, Bart.
