The Bride was One of the Victims Of
t he d isaster at shoholn.

A despatch to the N. z. SIN says
a wedding occurred at the Delaware
House in Port Jervis, N. j., under
peculiarly interesting and romantic cir
cumstances, the bride being one Of the
victims of the late terrible railroad dis
aster near shohola. Among the passen-
gers on board of the first day coach OF
the Chicago express train, which was
one of the cars that made the f,arful
plunge down an eighty-foot embank-
ment in pitch and darkness and storm to
the brink Of the Delaware River, was
Miss Hannah Yearsly, q handsome and
intelligent young English girl from
Congelton, Cheshire, where her father
is engaged in business Us n WOODEN mer-
chant. She had sailed from Liverpool
alone on August 2, and landed in New
York Just in time to catch the fated
train. Her destination was Kansas
City where her old country lover and
playmate awaited her coming when the
pair were TO be united in wedlock.
| Cyrus Arthur Slater, printer by
trade and the lover in question, came to
this country five years ago, and having
made due provision for his sweetheart
sent for her to join him. By the advice
of her parents, and in order to avoid
annoyances to which q young single
woman might be subject, she took the
name of her betrothed and travelled as
Mrs. Cyrus Slater, under which desig-
nation she appears in the list of casual-
ties published in the Sun as one of those
dangerously injured.
The telegram sent to her lover, in
forming him of the misfortune that
had overtaken his expectant bride,
brought him to this town by the quick
est train, which reached here yesterday.
He found her suffering from severe body
bruises and scalp wounds, and her
pretty face somewhat disfgured by cruel
decorations, but she is in fair way to
recover her health, if not all of her
former beauty. The meeting between
the two lovers under such circumstances
was naturally an affecting one, and re-
suited in an agreement to be married at
once. Accordingly, last evening, the
Rev. Calvin S. Hare, Baptist clergy
man, was called in, the faithful groom
took his place by the bedside Of the
invalid bride, and the pair were united
in wedlock amid the hearty congratula-
tions and good wishes of the little group
of sympathizing strangers who were
permitted to witness the ceremony.

The Peculiar circumstances.

They were sitting together in the
warm parlor, saying littlo but thinking
much. But lovers do not need to say
much to be conapanionable.
The little clock on the mantel for a
considerable time had been the only
speaker, says the Boston Courier. Its
tick. tick, tick, tick, seemed to say:
.Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her, kiss her. .
To the maiden it said: "Leap year,
leap year, leap year, leap year" and its
reiteration of this phrase forced the
maid to break the silence:
elbow funny some people are = she
said.

be married"
"Oh r.

balloon some on the middle arch of q
bridge, some in boat, some in rail

coal mine"
eyes, have noticed it."
"What is the object, I wonder9''
"Marriage, of course. D."
"But I mean their object in getting
married out Of the usual way"
,ssWell, I'll tell you what think.
They get married in this way 30 that
they can tell their children and their
grandchildren that they were married
under peculiar circumstances, as, for
instance, your mother and me, children,
were married in coal mine,' or, Your
grandmother and me, children, were
~, rriad in q balloon ~
'Ill bet that's just the reason" said
the maiden.
"Of course it is the reason"
There was pause. Then the maiden
with a glowing cheek said:
"I've been thinking, john"
"Yes E" he said, interrogatively.

blush.
"Well, Bella, you've been thinking

4 WeIi.Plantad Village Street.

t is not always that village Stree
makes a pleasing picture, but tie i'm

for the first time to face the leafv vista
FROM which our illustration page 200
Is taken would be to make sketch Of
1t. And yet the elements OF this pic
fure are of the simplest and mott
natural character. We can conceive Ct
q street which would be attractive On
account of the well-plantcd anl we'll
kept lawns on either side, wish road
borders straight and trim. But here
the lawns form no feature OF Importance,
and the problem of how much space
shall be devoted to wheelwaT and t}ot
path is left to settle itself in the IL So
practical and natural way, as TIC feet
and wheels themselves may die asS.
The paths are therefore laid just where
Eiey are most convenient, add certainly
the flowing curves which MAX, the
boundary between grass and gravel are
more beautiful than any straight line
could be, while they do not demand il.e
frequent labor of cutting the SOD ani
raking over the roadway, which are
necessary when a formal border il
neatly kept. The dandelions in the
grass bear witness that the lawn-mower
is not used to destroy all the wild flow
ers, and these in their season ada to the
natural and rural charm OF the street.
The brightness Of bit of sky seen be
nearth the overarching limbs OF frees
which frame it in always adds tone Of
eheerfulness to such vista, AID lia
Sunshine which here Sits through tile
foliage on either hand f5rb;d3 aay
thought of gloominess in the dwellings,
which a too dense shade in1arial:lf sng-
gests. Altogether, this street lic:ine
has balance and harmony Which would
not probably characterize one composed
of various border plantations r3adai III
accordance with the individual tastes of
different landowners, and il is, there
fore, pleasantly suggestive of COM
munity of interest in the street and lis
beauty "a suggestion emphasized by the
public well which stands for neigIlbor-
illness and sociability.
1t would not be wise nor practicable
for any other town or village to initiate
this example in detail. But no serious
offense against the canons of good taste
can be committed where village street
is so planted that it makes a comltleAe
picture a picture as peaceful and
natural as the one here presented, and
with such unity of motive that 70 cor
tradictions or incongruitics are apparent.

The Eats of a Fourteen Year Old Negro
Boy in Louisiana.
NEW ORLEANs, La, Feb. Jim Cor
nelius, negro fourteen years old, was
hanged at Minden, Webster parish, yes
terdsy for the murder year ago OF
Ernest Wren, the iour-yesr-old son Of G
P. Wren, member of the Legislature from
that parish. The negro boy was in
Wren's employ and the little child was
playing around the negro boy who
pushed him down and made him bite his
tongue so that his mouth bled. Toe
little fellow cried and threatened to tell
his mother. The negro begged him not
to tell as he did not want to be whipped,
but tie little fellow persisted. The negro
then struck him with an axe handle,
crushing his skull and msngling his head
so that ne died almost instantly. The
boy WAS charged with the crime and cou-
fess5d He was tried snd convicted, but
on appeal 8 new trial Was granted on
account Of iniormslities in the indict-
ment On the second trial he was sgain
convicted and sentenced to be hanged The
Governor approx the Edea!h sentence
six weeks ago. Up to the time OF his
death the condem' ed boy seemed iDdlf-
ferert. He was visited by white preach
ers who labored with him, and by col
ored preachers. The latters' work
seemed effective, for when he ascended
the scaffold he d clared he was going
right to God to be an angel in heaven.
The fall wks seven feet, but his neck was
not broken. He stranaled to death in
eight m putes. His parents, well to do
ans;honest people, refused to receive the
ndHs OF the boy murderer, and he was
,6titfed by the sheriff.

LONDON, Feb. AT the conclusion Of
q performance at Lowry's Music hall in
Dublin last night, Mile. Senide, one OF

her photograph taken in that position. A
sudden fash of light caused the beast TO
close his jaws, and he retired growing to
q corner of the cage dragging the helpless
victim with him. Then ne shook the girl
violently, tearing her bare breast with
his claws. The attendants at once sprang
toward the cage and attacked the lion
with irons, and finally succeeded in
breaking him II. Mile. Senide was re-
moved TO her lodgings and medical aid
was summoned. Her neck, shoulders,

COST OF AMERICAN WOOL.
Eject of Free Trade on the RaiAing of
Msrino Wool.


Msrino Wool.
BosToN, MASS, Feb. THE Boston
Commercial Bulletin has collected from
wool growers IN sll parts of the country
statistics showing the cost to the grower
Of raising pound CT American wool. In
summing up the result, the Bulletin will
say, editorialiy: American hne wool
costs the grower, without his own profit
Oh freight to the mill, from to Is cents
more the secured pound, according 10
grade, than the corresponding grade Of
free foreign wool would cost the
American manufacturer st his mill
American medium wool similarly costs
the grower from to cents more the
secured pound than tree imported
medium woods would cost the msnu-
tscturer. The prediction Is msde that
the removal of the duty on combiDg: or
clothing wool would destroy the raising
of merino wool in this country, but that
in the older states, as in Canada to day,
sheep might not be raised for wool, but
for mutton, and as Merino sheep do rot
make good mutton Southdown or Cots
void, sheep that do make good mutton,
could take their place.
