ErightfuI Railroad Accident In Massachusetts,.

A terrible accident occurred on the Fitch
burg Railroad Oh the night of the 9TH, midway
between Sardwell's Ferry and West Deerfeld
station. the eaSt-bound passenger train going
over an embaukment 900 feet in height. The
track runs on the edge of the enibank ment, and
is considered one of the most dangerous places
on the road On the evening of the accident,
when the train arrived at this point, the track
commenced to settle under it for a distance
covering the whole length. The coaches broke
from their trucks and went rolling over and
over down the embankment. As soon as the
cars reached the bottom they caught fire from
the stoves. The shrieks of the wounded and
dying filed the air, and the scene was one too
horrible TO describe. Trains were at once run
to the scene of the disaster with corps of sur
geOns and railroad men, who worked necessarily
ali night, freeing the passengers from the pile
Of debris under which they were buried. Ten
dead bodies were recovered, some of them burned
almost beyond recognition, and 80 people were
seriously injured, some Of them fatally. One
OF the unfortunate passengers was found lying
under six feet of water; another must have
died in frightful agony. When found his right
arm was raised above his head, as though at
tempting to clutch SONIC support, the fingers Of
which were burned to crisp, and the top of
his head was literally roasted. His mouth was
wide open, as if he had shrieked in agony. 1t
is considered marvellous by railroad men that
any person on the train should have escaped
death or injury.

EIoped With Her 6O.year.oId Lover.

Mr. w. Hall, Worth County, Ga, planter,
so years Old, lost his wife some time ago. Since
his bereavement he has been frequent visitor
at the house Of Farmer Rutland. Nj Rutland
finally came 10 the conclusion that the old gen
tleman's visits were directed more to his pretty,
20-yearOla daughter Georgia than himself, and
neighbor Hall was thcreupon forbidden TO enter
the house, and the young lady, whom it seems
was very anxious TO marry him, became dis
consulate. In this emergency Mr. Halls two
dutifui daughters, eyed % and % years, came
to the rescue. They paid visit to Miss
Rutland Oh Sunday, and laughed so heartily
with Mr. Rutland over their fathers foolish
fancy that he was completely disarmed and the
girls were pressed to spend the night with Miss
Georgia. A note to the aged lover informed
him that lie must be waiting in front Of the
house at midnight, and a summons to Squire
Long notified him that little later his pres
ence would be needed at the house of Mr.. Halls
married daughter. Midnight brought with it
q drenchiug rain, but the lover was on hand,
and with his sweetheart and his two daughters
was soon on the way to the place appointed for
the welding. Entering the house it was kept
in darkness go that the attention Of pursuers
might not be attracted. Then Squire Long
ccmented the union, and Farmer Hall took his
bride home.

Tho ChiJese Are CHING.

II is thought that if the present anti Chi
nese agitation is continued for year there
will not be a Chinese merchant left in San
Francisco. At the present time they are clos
ing up their business as fast as they can, and
nearly every steamer takes one or more of
them away. The business OF the merchants is
being ruined by the expulsion of the laborers
FROM the interior. The merchants in the inte-
rior of California, in Oregon, in Washington
Territory, and Nevada have no business, as
their patrons have disappeared and they are
unable to pay their debts. In consequence the
merchants in San Francisco are suffering One
large merchant has $l50000 worth of bills
which he cannot collect, and recent tour of
this and neghboring States enabled him to Sc
cure only $1,000. Merchants have for some
time been assisting each other to prevent fail
ures but it appears as if the limit were about
reached. 1t is affirmed thGt there are more
vacant stores in Chinatown than were ever be-
fore seen, and the prospect is that the number
will grow larger.

Killed by q Lap Dogs Bite.

Last Christmas day, Dr. Brinton II. Warner,
Of Baltimore, picked up little lap dog which
had been run over by street car in that city
He placed it in his handkerchief and started to
carry it to his Office where he intended to set
the animals broken limbs and endeavor to save
his life. While hurrying along the suffering
animal turned in the handkerchief and bit its
benefactors hand. The physician dropped the
dog and hurrying to his office thoroughly eau
terized the wound. The incident worried him
greatly and several times during the past three
months he expressed the fear that he would
die from hydrophoba Last week he was taken
sick and summoned III two eminent physicians
TO attend him, who pronounced his case as one
OF hydrophobia. Everything that science and
humanity could suggest was done for the un-
fortunate man, but after suffering untold ago
MES for several days he died on the 9th inst.

Ruined at Monte Carlo.

Mrs. James Whitcomb, the wife Of a former
Auditor General Of Minnesota has made three
desperate attempts at suicide, on account of the
heavy losses she has sustained at the gaming
tables at Monte Carlo. At first she tried NOR
phine, of which she took large dose, but her
condition WAS discovered in time and her life
was saved. People were set to keep guard over
her, to prevent second attempt on her life ;
but she evaded her watchers and opened vein
in her arm, with the purpose of bleeding to
death. Again she WAS detected before fatal
result was attained and was restored. Finding
it useless to try to prevent repeating her Of
forts, the proprietor of the hotel in which she
lived, for the sake of the reputation OF his
house, requested her to leave the hotel. She
did so, and went at once to Cannes. She had
scarcely arrived there when she threw herself
into the sea- She again failed, however, to
accomplish her aim, and was rescued from
drowning She has since been placed in an
asylum, as the only reliable means of keeping
her from another and perhaps successful sensa-
tional attempt at suicide

The Spring Elections.

Last week municipal elections were held in
the cities and towns of several States, the most
important being those Of Ohio, Indiana, and
Illinois. The Republicans were generally sue
cessful, particularly so in the cities of Chicago,
Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. The
frauds in Cincinnati last Fall, which have
attracted so much attention, were most signally
rebuked, the city giving Republican majority
on the principal candidate voted for of nearly
1000 The Republicans elected IL out of IS
aldermen. In Chicago both branches of the
City Council, which last year were Democratic,
have now a strong Republican majority. In
Wayne County, Ind, there was very marked
change from 500 Democratic majority to 5000
Republican majority. Much interest in the
result of these elections is felt in Washington
among the politicians, in view of their influence
upon the Congressional elections to be held next

Chiefs chihuahua, Mana. Kutle, and Alse-
anna with % others of Chiricahua's Apache
garrison, bucks, women, and children, left Ft.
Bowie, Ariz., last week for TT. Marion as pris-
oners OF war. Gen. Crook went to Bowie sta
ton with them on q buciboar Twenty-Five
Apache scouts escorted them. All went cheer
fully, though understanding what is to be done
with them. chihuahua was riding around all
the morning, hurrying them in preparation to
move. Two weeks ago % hostiles including
six chiefs, were on the war path. Now there
are only 81, of whom IA are squaws and two
chiefs. Thus putting their families and allies
far beyond their reach will be a severe blow to
them. Geronimo's wife and daughter and
some of Natchess children are among the pris-
oners. Sixteen of the IS were captured by
Lieut.. Davis some months ago. To have run
down and killed or captured the other So i'll the
ordinary course of Apache warfare would have
cost many American lives and $4,000 to $50,
000 per head.

Drinkers EnyrnffpI.

The result Of the recent municipal election at
Greensboro, Ga, was victory for the whisky
men. Among those who worked for the cause
OF prohibition were a number of regular drink
ers. Some of them were quite prominent in
the contest, and the whisky men have formed
o boycott against them. The liquor men say
that they cannot buy any more whisky of them,
and when one presents himself at the bar he
will be told that the barkeeper "does not con-
slider it to the dry mans interest to drink
whisky" and he will be refused. The whisky
men seem to mean what they say and declare
that if thoseswho worked against them in the
election want whisky they will have to buy it
In Augusta, Madison or Atlanta. They can't
get it in Greensboro. This boycott" will fall
heavily on some Of the steady drinkers, but the
boycotters will lose the most unless the steady
drinkers are bad pay
