Terrible Accident.

A terrible accident occurred near Grid
ley. Ill, few days ago. A daughter Of
Rudolph Witzig, farmer, was driving a
hay-rake when the horses became fright
ened and ran away. Her father called to
her to ho'd them, and she did, and was
dragged along barbed wire fence, which
caught her under the chin and tore off her
entire face, leaving only her eyes and ears.
The jaws and face were left hanging to the
fence. She retains consciousness and can
see out of one eye, and makes her wants
known by writing; but as she cannot par
take of food, she can survive but a short
time. She is about 20 years of age.

be retired with the rank and pay Of q col

Devastation in Mexico.

Late advises from Leon, Mexico, the
principal scene Of the great flood, say that
masses of peoble are packed in portals,
stables and every available place of shell
ter, averaging one perron to every square
yard of space, with piles of flag mating
on the ground for beds and few miserable
rags for cover. All able bodied men have
been sent away to work by the govern
ment. RatiorA of bread meat are issued
and everything possible IS done to relieve
suffering. Children up to IL years of age
are among these masses, without thread
of clothing, and at night are wrapped in
whatever rags the family have for covering.
Anything whatever of food or clothing, no
matter how poor, is received with extreme
gratitude. In view of the nature of the
buildings involyed-they being constructed
of abode-and the great number of them
which were destroyed, it is still believed
that the lodies of many hundred people
are i'll the ruins. Some $50 were recover
ed, but the stencil was SO great that further
search was abandoned.

Isaac Waldorf, Jewish merchant of

ried to his own daughter. Waldorf separ-
ated fromhis wife in Austria many years
ago and came to America. He married
again. and had three children by his sec
ond wife. This wife died some years ago.
One day about eighteen months ago Wal
dorf met pretty young girl on the street
who was crying, and said she had just
come from Vienna and had lost her way
He befriended her and took her to his home
temporarily. His children liked her. and.
he retained her as governess and finally
married her. She in time became a mo-
ther. Recently her mother came from
Vienna to visit her and recognized Wal
dorf as her husband. The grand rabbi
has been appealed to for advice in straigh-
tening out as far as possible the unfor-
tunate relations among the parties. 1t is
thought that Waldorf's second marriage
was bigamous. and his children by it illc-
gitimate. and his third marriage is, of
course, void in law as well as in morals.
