ELECTRIC NOTION WRECKED
Seven Passengers in the Car Injured
One Fatally.

One Fatally.
A motor and car on the South Side Elcc.
trio Railway ran away ut Pttsburg and was
completely wrecked Tho motor and cur
were coming down the steep grade at Mount
Oliver when tho spo d suddenly increased
and the engineer lost control of the brakes.
The train sped with lightning rapidity to the
bottom of the hill, when it jumped the track
and plunged into telegraph pole. The
motor was twisted aud broken md the cab
was smashed to spllnters. The force of the
sudden stoppage snapped the car coupling
and hurled the car into ditch. The seven
occupants of the car were injured. One,
Mrs Heron, was terribly cut about tie
head, face and body. She is unconscious,
md is believed to have sustained fatal in
ternal injuries Mrs Heinrich was cut about
the head and body, but will recover. Charles
Morgan, Mrs. Elizabeth Stewart and Mrs.
Elizabeth Moore, tho other passengers, Sis
tanned painful cuts and bruises, but were
oble TO return TO their homes unaccompanied.
Engineer McGibbeny jumped from the cab
and was badly hurt. Conductor Smythe
also jumped, but escaped with slight injury.
The cause Of the accident is attributed to
the engineer failing to lower the sprockct
wheel and being unable to stop the motor by
the use OF The brake. One of the passengers,
claims that the engineer did lower the
sproclet Wheel rs he heard him do so, and
that he is not responsible for the accident.
This was the second accident in three weeks.
The escape Of the passengers from instant
death is regarded as miraculous.

WISE WORDS.

Be content; the sea hath fish enough.
Black plums may eat as sweet as
white.
Honor and profit do not always lie in
the same sack.
An cvi intention pervcrts the best &C
tions and makes them sins.
A coxcomb is ugly all over with the
affcctation Of the fine gentleman.
The mill streams that turn the clap
rers of the world arise i'll solitary places
The government of ones self is the
only true freedom of the individual.
Truth is the most powerful thing in
the world, since fiction can only please
by its rcsemh!essS to it.
General observesioas drawn from par
t;culars are the Jewels of knowledge,
compromising great store in little
room.
There may be times when silence is
gold, and speech silver; but there are
times, also. when silence is death aa.
speech is life.
How wisely do they act who take no
anxious thought for the morrow, buta are
attentive according to present ability, to
the duties of the present day.
Love is not altogether dclirium, yet
it has many points in common herewith.
Call it rather discerning of the infinite
in the hnite-of the ideal made real.
How many daily occasions there are
for the exercise of patience, torbearance,
bcncvolence, good humor, cheerful
ness, candor, sincerity, compassion and
self denial.
Truth is the object of our understan nd
ing, us good is ST our WILL and the un-
Outstanding can no more be delighted
with "a lie than the will can choose an
apparent evil.

SUMNER AND WINTER.

In the mellow month of June
When the tawny thrushes sing,
And the yellow cowslips spring
From the meadows BY the brooks
When in dusty forest hooks
Elin huntsmen wind the horn
And the clover-scentcd morn
Ripcns into cloudless noon,
Then love to lie alone
In the grass on some cool hill,
While the meadow-larks all shrill
Life is music Care and pain
Fare but ill in summers reign
When the hills are wrapped in sheets,
When the snow whirls on the leas,
And the icy-iingered trees
Sparkle i'll the moons cool ligat,
When the clouds in the long night
Weave pail for the deal year,
And the keen wind hurls its spear
Right at every one it meets,
Then my heart is never sad,
For think of breezy spring,
And the joys that it will bring
OF the robins OH the lawns
Piping in the dewy dawns.
-W. +. Smyth.

THE CLIFTON CLARION

A new land bill to permit per sons who have filed under pre- emption or homestead law, but who for some reason have failed to acquire titles to lands, to again file under the homestead law, passed the senate, and with i'm portant amendments, was adopted by the House. The Senate will doubtless concur in the amend ments, the first of which authori- zes registers and receivers to grant leave of absence to any who have made entry and who "by reason of doubt, whole or partial destruction of crops, sickness or any other unavoidable casualty" are unable to secure support for himself or those dependent upon him, such absence not to exceed one year at any one time. The second amendment provides that persons who have made home stead entries for less than one quarter section may make addi- tional entry, to complete the quar- ter section of land contiguous to that first filed upon, or in case he desires to make an entire new en- try he may do so by firsi i.relin quishing the original entry, and no additional fees shall be exacted for the second entry. The resi- dence made on the original entry shall connt as residence on the additional or new entry in making final proof.

 EATING CRow.-This expression is now very often applied to the disagreeable task of recanting Q statement or expression of opinion the supporting of a candidate, a party or platform once bitterly opposed, or the opposing of those once vehemently endorsed. But this is not it's original sig ni6cance. To "eat crow" was by change of attitude to submit humbly to a principle or an authority once denounced and defed, and in this sense it's origin is easily under stood. The crow of the cock is not only the sign of its exultation in victory, but it is also it's note of defance,a boastful asser- tion of might and power. To ''eat crow is to swallow the defiance, to confess de- feat, to acknowledge that the vain, glorious assumption cannot be sustained, and to re- cant the challenge issued from boastful lips.
 OUR LANGUAGE.-Over three-eights of the words in the English language are de- rived from the Latin, over one-fourth from the French, and about one-tenth from the Saxon, and a little less from the Greek. The indebtedness to other languages is small.
