Wednesday the word was given
out that postmaster Hunt had resign
ed his position in favor of Mrs. J. B.
Hunt, who Is good republican al
though her husband is q democrat,
and a petition to have her appointed
was circulated. Immediately there
after another petition was started in
favor of Geo. P. Wells, whose poll
tics are well known. While not pres
ent when the petitions were beng
circulated, we understand that the
opposition to Mrs. Hunt was on the
grounds that the democrats were try
ing to dictate who should be the next
postmaster, and that Jim Hunt would
virtually be postmaster if his wife
receives this appointment. What
the outcome will be we do not know.
but think we can give pretty good
guess.-Arlington Review.

this morning to q passenger train which

spread, and all the cars following the
smoker left the track, and rolled, one on
top Of the other, to the bottom of thirty
foot embankment. There they caught fire
from the stoves, and soon they were a
mass of red hot embers. Passengers
crawled out Of the windows as best they
could. The following is list of wounded
as far as ascertained:
Hon. DAVID GRAY, of Buffalo, and his
brother, who were on their way to Cuba /;
both seriously injured.
J. P. TUCKER, Pullman car porter, New

Q. COLEMAN, also Pullman Car porter,

head.
J. ZIMMERMAN, Buffalo; bruised in side
and knees.
Miss PLANT, Hamilton, Ont; bruised and
cut.
MORRIS LINK, Sandusky, O., fracture of
clavlcle and Two ribs broken.
Many others were more or less bruised
and cut, but were able to take care of
themselves. The wounded named are at
the city hospital.
David Gray Of Buffalo, who was an In.
valid en- route to Cuba, in company with
his brother, is unconscious from the shock
and internal injuries. His brother is able
to walk about The passengers lost all
their hand baggage and those in the
sleepers their money and iewelry, The
passengers say the accident was not caused
by the spreading rails as claimed by the
company's officials, but due solely to
flimsy nature of day coach which was old
enough for retirement.

Bsyonne after the Empress and her moth
er had returned thither from Brighton,
where they had spent q charming summer,
so far away back in the past as 1916. The
Countess de Teba was in that season a
belle of the Chain pier and Kemp Town
esplanRde. She was devoted to Rosas.
But, souvent femme varie; the Due de

which, should the Empress ever be brought

The Comtesse de Montijo and her beau
teous daughters were essentially birds

While the correspondence was going on
with the Spanish patriot, Due d'Ossunna

loved one. What brought Nine. de
Montijo so much to England was her old
intimacy with the late Lord Clarendon.
He took scarcely less deep interest in
her second daughter, whom fate had
marked out to be to the Suez
canal what Isabella the Catholic was
to America, and to be the unconscious
tool of Bismarck in abasing France and
building up his new German Empire.
Lord Clarendon's friendship led to the

gress at TT. Wayne.

HUNTINGTON. March 16.-[Special. The
myterious death of John B. Young, on
last Tuesday, and the serious illness Of his
entire family, with the exception OF a
married daughter, is the subject of con-
siderable comment here, and there are
many who do not believe the report which
was at the time given out, that he had been
poisoned with mouldy cheese. 1t is charged
by many that some other poison was used,
and unfair means are suspected. At the
request Of DR.. Leyman, at whose grocery
the cheese was bought, Coroner Wright
stopped the funeral of Mr.. Young
and took possession of the body.
he has sent some of the cheese like that
purchased by the Youngs and the heart,
lungs, liver, kidneys and stomach to a
competent chemist at Ft. Wayne for
analysis, and an answer in regard to the
cheese is expected to-day. The coroner
began the examination of witnesses. DR..
Leyman testified that he took q part OF
the same cheese home and that it in no
way affected any of his family. 1t was
also developed that Rose, who ate
some Of the cheese given to Mr..
Young, came near dying, and his
physicians say that from his symptoms he
thought he had been poisoned with arsenic.
Nathaniel Mason a son in-laW Of the de-
ceased took him the cheese that it is said
poisoned him with the rest Of his supper
which he ate at his butcher shop. One fact
that is being connected with this affair is
that Mason who is a painter some time
ago, was working with a man who was
poisoned with croton oil, which had been
pnt in his dinner bucket, while Mason's
dinner was all right, although il
was put up at the same place. Mason
married Mr., Youngs youngest
daughter and her death which
occurred about four years ago was more or
less mysterious. Mrs. Young, the widow
Of the deceased, and the other immediate
members of his family are satisfied that
all Of the suspicious of foul play are
groundless. Mr.. Young's two brothers,
who live at Crown Point, are anxious that
the investigation go on, as they think it
strange that they were not appraised of the
serious illness of their brother when there
was ample time to have done so. It is be-
lleYed that the Young's domestic affairs
were not the most pleasant, as he has slept
in his butcher shop more of the time thso
at home for more tn an year and had his
meals sent to him.

Too Much Talk.
New Albany Ledger. |

new AIDAuy DtuBbT,
There is Just little too much talk in the
newspapers about this and that msnufAcs-
uring establishment shutting down if the
Mills tariff bill becomes law. The bill is
imperfect in It's present shape, needs
amendment IN several important partlcu-
lars and will not be likely to pass without
amendment. But these statements about
closing doors if certain things are done
sound too much like threats. The Ameri-
can people do not take kindly to threats.
This is shown by the results of the last
election. Daring the canvass there were
many such statements made as are being
given out, that in the event of Cleveland's
election the factories would close. Cleve.
land was elected and the factories did not
close. It is like the old cry OF wolf.
When the wolf comes nobody will be-
lieVe the cry.
