A TRAM GOES THROUGHA TRESTLE.

The first section of the Cuban fast
mail train, from New York for Jack
sonyille, went through a trestle on the
Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
road near Blackshear, Ga, last Satur-
day morning. Twenty-three persons
were killed and between thirty and
forty injured. The train was composed
of an engine, a combination baggage
and smoking car, a passenger coach,
two Pullman Sleepers and the private
car of a. p. Wilbur, president of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad. The train
had crossed the Hurricane river and
the engine gotten clear of the trestle
through and fell forty feet to the
ground. The combination car struck
first, and the others tumbled on ii,
crushing and grinding everything.
The few fortunate ones who were
free went to work to relieve their
fellow passengers who were i'll the
wreck. The people from the village
of Blackshear went to the scene and
gave their assistance. Some brought
wagons and took some OF the wounded
to Waycross. As soon as word of the
frightful accident reached Savannah
a relief train, with fourteen doctors
and big corps of assistants, left at
once, and shortly afterwards another
relief train, with eight surgeons and
many volunteer nurses from among
the guests of the hotels, were sent out
Of Jacksonville to the scene.
The trestle to Hurricane river Is
about eight hundred or u thousand
feet in length, and the break includes
four hundred feet at the west end, the
tender of the engine lodging against
the abutment. The baggage car left
the track on the trestle, which ac-
counts for the accident. The ties show
where the trucks cut deep into them.
1t was this car that careened the rear
cars, and by its strain dragged the
tender down, the engine having safely
crossed over. The wrecked cars took
fire, and for time it looked as if the
imprisoned passengers would be
burned to death. Fortunately the
flames were soon eXtinguished. Among
the killed was the son of President
Wilbur, and among those injured were
George Gould and his wife.

AMMONIA IN BAKING POWDERS.
From the Scientific american.


Among the recent discoveries in sci
ence and chemistry, none is more i'm
portant than the uses TO which COM
mon ammonia can be properly put as
a leavening agent, and which indicate
that this familiar salt is hereafter to
perform an active part i'll the prepare
ton of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia il an eX-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place a
small portion of it upon IA knife and
hold it over flame, and ii will almost
Immediately be entirely developed
into gas and pass off into the air. The
gas thus formed is simple compost
ton of nitrogen and hydrogen. No
residue is left from the ammonia.
This gives it its superiority asa leaven-
ing power over soda and cream of tar
tar used alone, and has inducedits use
as a supplement to these articles. y
small quantity of ammonia in the
dough is effective in producing bread
that will be lighter, sweeter and more
wholesome than that risen by any
other leavering agent. When 1t Is
acted upon by the heat of baking, the
leavening gas that raises the dough is
liberated. In this act it uses itself up,
as it We're; the ammonia Is entirely
diffused, leaving no trace or residuum
whatever. The light, fluffy, tlaky APP
pearance. so desirable in biscuits etc,
and so sought after by professional
cooks, is said to be impaired to them
only by the use of this agent.
The bakers and baking powderman
ufacturers producing the finest goods
have been quick to avail themselves
of this useful discovery, and the hand
soonest and best bread and cake are
now largely risen by the aid of am
monia combined, of course, with other
leavening material.
Ammonia is one of the best known
products of the laboratory. If, as
seems to be justly claimed for it, the
application of its properties to the
purposes of cooking, results in giving
us lighter and more wholesome bread,
biscuit and cake, it will prove a boon
to dyspeptic humanity, and will speed
lily force itself into general use in the
new field to which science unassigned

a FATHERS TERRIBLE REVENGE.

Springfield, Mo-, has been thrown
into a state of extreme excitement by
the atrocious attack of frenZied ia
Their upon the mistress of maynard
son. Effie Ellis, of st. Louis, is the
victim. and now lies in agony, with
her ewes burned out and her face
Scared with burns from vitriol. She
was an abandoned woman, and had
ruined Fenton Cox, son OF DIR. George
w. Cox, the United States pension ex-
aminer of the Springfield district, and a
prominent man politically and III the
medical fraternity. Worked TO a fren-
w by the shame of a debauched son,
he enticed the girl from st. Louis by
means of kilograms signed with his
sons name, and early one morning
last week met her at the Springfield
depot. There was but one carriage
there. and the driver hurried
her to it with the assurance that he
was sent TO her for that purpose. 1t
was still dark. but as the door closed
she saw a man in the carriage who
seized her as she attempted to step
out. She recognized him as DIR. Cox,
and feared trouble, but the whip was
put TO the horses. and in twinkle
they were dashing down the street.
Mortified. she cried TO the man for
mercy and not to murder her.
iii do worse than kill you, | will
disfigure YOU for life" was the re
Spouse, and thereupon he struck her
over the head with bottle. \ liquid
poured down over her head, face and
shoulders. and burned and ate its way
into her flesh, causing intense agony.
Her ewes were also attacked by the
burning stuff, which proved to be sui
phuric acid, and she felt as though
She was being consumed. The doctor
i. said to have also struck her several
severe blows with his fist. Her cries
attracted the police, and the carriage
was stopped. The girl was taken to
Steigers Hotel, and physicians called,
who found that one eye was totally
destroyed, and the other will proba-
bly, become SightleSs. Her face, back,
shoulders and chest are SCARED with
burns, and she is horribly disfigured
for life The doctor surrendered to
the sheriff, but was soon released on
his own recognizance. Later he Ell
tered into $4,000 bonds. While DIR.
Cox was in the sheriff : Office an eX-
cited crowd gathered around, and
lynching was freely talked of, but bet
ter counsel prevailed, and since it was
found that the girls life is not in dan
ger, quiet has reigned.
Efiie Ellis is a woman of the lower
world. and had succeeded in infatuat
ing young Fenton Cox. During the
past year he spent enormous sums OF
money on the woman, and lived such
a degraded life that his father finally
became frantic and committed the
crime above detailed.

HE WAS TICKLE IN HIS LOVE.

A dispatch from Parkersburg, this
State. to the Baltimore american, says:
Among the recent candidates who
were received into the ministry of the
West Virginia Conference ofthe Meth
odist Church was young man named
Geo. Shaw, living in Jackson county.
The first charge for Rev. Shaw was at
Fairfield. in kanawha county. While
there he wooed and won n beautiful
girl named Miss Ira Little. While at
Fairfield he was assiduouS in his devo-
tions TO Miss Little. About three
months ago he was temporarily trans
ferred to charge at Ceredo, i'll Wayne
county Forgetting his first love,
though he had promised her marriage,
he soon found in Miss Hattie Willis, "A
member of his new flock, one much
more to his fancy, and III time wooed,
won and wed her. 1t was now Miss
Little's turn. Instead Of committing
suicide or instituting a Baby Bunt-
ing suit, she took her parents into
her confidence, and the matter was
brought before the Methodist Church.
1t has just resulted in the young di-
vine being suspended from preaching
At the close of discourse preached
by the young mans father i'll Ceredo,
the Young minister stood up in his
pulpit and announced therefrom that
he had been suspended because he
had promised TO marry one lady and
deserted her for another. The young
minister will leave for Ohio in a few
DAYS TO join the Ohio Conference.

HE OUGHT TO HAVE BIC DAMAGES

A dispatch from Minneapolis, Mimi,
SAYS: sylvester ). Hall, the builder
who disappeared over two years ago,
turned up Friday, having come di
rectly from the Rochester Insane Asy
lum, where he has been confined. In
August, 1885, three weeks after his
marriage, Mr.. Hall left his his home
for the Boston Block, telling his wife
he was expecting to take a contract
for the erection of a row of buildings.
That was the last seen of him until
Friday. \ search for the missing man
was instituted and kept pformonths,
but without success. Hall cleared up
the matter in a strange story. He
said that after leaving the architects
Office he went out to the Shore Line
bridge at the western limit of st.
Paul to look at the location of the
houses he was to build, and before re-
turning sat down to rest. Just then
a st. Paul policeman, i'll search OF
Henry Jones, an escaped lunatlc,
came up and arrested him. 1t was a
case of mistaken identity, and he was
taken to the Probate Court at st.
Paul, identified as Jones by three men
and sent to the Rochester Insane Asy-
lum. He was given odd jobs of car
penter work and kept in the institu-
ton until March 4, 1888, when expert
examiners pronounced him well and
he was discharged. Hall is boiling
with indignation over his terrible
treatment, and will bring an action
for heavy damages against the st.
Paul authorities.

Let the Government Give Relief.

Now that the decision of the Supreme
Court removes every shadow of oppo-
sition to the Bell Telephone Company,
that powerful monopoly can make
charges TO suit itself. 1t is safe to say
that it will make them plenty high
enough. Charging an annual rental
of from sixty to one hundred dollars
for instruments that cost only about
four dollars, the treatment of the pub
in the past shows what can be eX-
pected in the future.
1t seems time now for Congress or
the State Legislatures to step i'll and
take hand Wherever unjust and
eXtortionate charges are made, laws
should be formed TO regulate the
prices and to protect the people.
Surely it is proper and right for the
State or the nation to save its citizens
from the greed of monopolists.

HOW HIS FAMILY WE'RE POISONED

Samuel Wilson, lumberman, with
his wife and four children lived in
wild section of the Green River bot
toms near Calhoun, KY. He was re
Gently engaged in gathering hoop
poles. His hogs and chickens having
become the prey of timber wolves, he
poisoned quarter of hog meat TO de-
stroy the thieves BY some serious
negligence he had omitted TO take it
from his smoke house, and the meat
was unconsciously prepared by his
wife for the dinner of the family
Thursday. The meat was scarcely
swallowed before all became sick and
rapidly grew worse. Within two hours
all were helpless, and were found in
this condition toward nightfall by a
loggerman who CHANGED that way.
Help was quickly summoned, but it
was unavailing, as during the night
three of the children died, and Friday
the father, mother and another q lid
died in great agony. Their bodies in
the meantime had swollen to enor-
nous proportions from the effects of
the poison, just as they had been bit
ten by rattlesnake. All were buried
Saturday near their desolate hut.

He Had Pretty Hard Luck.

Probably few men have experienced
as many serious accidents as Theo-
dore Gehringer, who died of apopleXy
in Philadelphia recently. Thirty-five
years ago he was run over by heavy
Conestoga wagon; five years later he
was badly crushed, it is said, by the
elephant Romeo, and two years after
that horse kicked him and fractured
a leg in two places. Scarcely had he
recovered from the last mishap when
another horse kicked him and broke
both his legs. About 1860 he was the
victim again of vicious horse, and in
1882, it is reported, he fell from the
Cresheim bridge, near Mount Airy,
and fractured an arm, besides receiv-
ing severe internal injuries. In July,
1885, he fell down stairs, broke his col
lar-bone and was otherwife injured.
Two years ago he was again kicked
by horse, and on February II last
he received severe injuries by falling
on the ice, from which he contracted
erysipelas. He had almost recovered
when he received the stroke of apo
pleXy which resulted in his death.

Nasal Voices, catarrh and False Teeth

A prominent English woman says
the American women all have hlgh,
shrill. nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twitting they get about this nasal
twang. and yet it is a fact caused by
our dry stimulating atmosphere, and
the universal presence OF catarrnal
difficulties.
But why should so many of our
women have false teeth?
That is more of a poser to the En-
glish. 1t is quite impossible TO ac,,
count for it except on the theory OF
deraneed stomach action caused by
imprudence in eating and by want OF
regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere pre-
vail and end III cough and consump-
ton. which are promoted by mal-nu-
triton induced by deranged stomach
action. The condition is a modern
one. one unknown to our ancestors
who prevented the catarrh, cold,
cough and consumption by abundant
and regular use of what is known as
Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption Remedy and Log Cabin Sar-
parilla, two old fashioned standard
remedies handed down from our an
cestors. and now exclusively put forth
under the strongest guarantees OF
purity and efficacy by the word famed
makers of Warmers safe cure. These
two remedies plentifully used as the
spring and summer seasons advance
give positive assurance of freedom,
both from catarrh and those dreadful
and if neglected. inevitable conse-
quences, pneumonia, lung troubles
and consumption. which so generally
and fatally prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem, Henry
Co., Iowa, served four years in the
late war and contracted n disease
called consumption by the doctors.
He had frequent hemorrhages. After
using Warmers Log Cabin Cough and
Consumption remedy. he says. under
date of Jan. 10Th, 1888: Il do not bleed
at the lungs any more. my cough does
not bother Inc. and | do not have any
more smothering spells Warner
Log Cabin Rose Cream cured his wife
of catarrh and she is sound and
well.
OF course we do not like 10 have our
women called nose takers and false
teeth owners, but these conditions can
be readily overcome in the manner in
