A Building Demolished.

An accident occurred at the B. & o.
depot in Oakland Saturday. which
caused considerable excitement for a
time. A running switch" was made
of four cars loaded with ice, and the
cars were run onto the lower switch,
which extends to within few feet of
Mrs. Sincell's blacksmith.shop. The
cars were run in with such force as to
carry tine front one entirely through
the back shop, which was used for the
storing of wagons and wagon mate.
rails, utterly demolishing the build
ing and crushing and destroying the
contents. About half an hour after
the occurrence, while parties were
looking over the ruins, a faint cry
was heard from beneath. and after
removing a part of the debris. John
Richardson. aged about IL years. was
found beneath. but, strange to say.
was not injured in the least. He had
been passing through Mrs. Sincell's
yard and was caught and imprisoned
by the wrecked building, with his
head and face 80 imbedded in the
snow lthat his cries for help could
scarcely be heard.

A Boy Killed in a Mine.

Henry Haussman, aged thirteen
years. was instantly killed Monday
morning, about 9 O'Clock. by fall of
coal in the new mine of the Ameri.
can Coal Company at Homecoming. A
great mass of coal fell on him from
the side of the room and crushed him
to death. His neck lay over the car
track and the head was almost sever
ed from the body. The lad was the
only support of a widowed mother
and several sisters and brothers. His
father, Ernest Haussman, was killed
by the kick of a morse few years
ago. He was working with his uncle,

They heard dull, rumbling noise
and presently heard a sepuIchral
voice calling up to them you have
killed somebody down here" The
horror stricken men fed. They spread
the news and the town was turned
upside down in an hour. Hundreds
of people went to the well and gazed
open mouthed at the bloody drill and
the mysterious cavity it had made.
Not until late in the evening was
the mystery solved by the presenta-
ton of bill for $50 by the Litchfield
Coal Company for one mule killed
by drill. The explanation was this,
the coal company's mine extended
under the gas company's territory,
and their best mule had been in the
way of the drill when it had pierced
the roof of the mine and was killed.

The Cookery Compromise

The suits growing out of the Cook.
erly farm disputes between the West
Virginia Central and Baltimore and
Ohio Railway Companies have been
amicably settled upon money and
traffic bases satisfactory to both
sides. The trial of these suits was to
have come up on Tuesday of this
week in the court at Frederick, Nd.
and prominent counsel were engaged.
The controversy, as will be generally
remembered, commenced when tiisSs
West Virginia Central built its Pied
mont and Cumberland Road. The
issues were Joined at the Cookery

were commenced few days ago, and
it was agreed that Mr.. James Sloan,
Jr.. on the part of the Baltimore and
Ohio, and the Hon. S. B. Elkins for
the West Virginia Central, should be
the arbitrators. These gentlemen
met in Baltimore last Friday night
with president Henry G. Davis, of
the West Virginia Central, and Mr.,
John X. Cowen, Baltimore and Ohio
counsel also present. On Saturday it
was authoratively announced by both
companies that settlement had been
agreed upon. A special dispatch last
night from Cumberland says 1.-THE
basis of the compromise 10 the suit is
that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company is to pay the plaintiff S4O,.
QUO, while all the parallel cases now
in litigation in Cumberland between
the two companies are be dropped,
each side paying its own costs" The
policy of the B. & o. has shown a
marked tendency recently In the .di-
rection of the liberal treatment ofhz
terests which have been rivals asa
can be made friends. The agreement
with the Camden system of West
Virginia railroads was decided de-
parture from former policy. and the
settlement now with the Dayis roads
will make more friends for the Balti-
more and Ohio. 1t is said that strong
men have aided President Mayer, Of
the Baltimore and Ohio in carrying
out this policy, and that Mr.. Sloan
has proved capable coadiutor.

Salvation in Society.
J. M. DAVIS & Son.

The Baltimore Americdn's New
York letter, of the 18th inst, says /:
Here is the Salvation Army. form
erly ridiculed, now introducing itself
into the best society in this city,
bounding at single leap from the
street corner to the drawing.room,
and giving up the satanic chase in
loWly quarters to pursue it among
the rich. For long time it has been
the fashion to slur the religious
methods of the Salyationists.
How things change! Mrs. Bal
lington Booth is hunting the devil
among the rich women of Fifth ave.
nue. at this dav and hour, and preach
ing salvation to the wives of our
wicked millionaires. She has attack

the social scale to being a member of
McAllister's 400. Already the signs
are visible of the eminence of the
army In the social world of New
York. Why the exclusive society
people should have taken in the Sal.
Walton Army after so long ridiculing
1t is matter that is not easy to ex-
plain. But it is certain that Mrs.
BalliDgton Booth has revolutionized
things from the state In which it was
popular to sneer at the army to con-
dition of things in which it is desir-
able to be a member of the army.
1t may come to pass that society
will take as firm hold on the Saliva
tionists as it took on theosOphy. mind
reading, and a dozen other senseless
fads, and if it does, there will be an
end to the public ridicule of the
methods of the Salvation Army as

Duels of Stupid Rams.

It may perhaps throw s"me light
on the obscure causes of the stupidity
of sheep to see them fight. To watch
two rams engage in a duel. which
they do in most gentlemanly man
ner. as if it were as much a matter of
etiquette as an engagement with
swords in the environs of Paris. is
better than most farces nowadays.
Perhaps there are some ten or twenty
rams in a yard or corral, and pres
emily two put their heads together.
Probably they are having CONVEX
sation, and in it some debatable mat.
ter crops up, for one shakes his head
impatiently as if doubling the word
of his interlocutOr. The insulted
ram looks up, advances step or two
and they rattle their horns together.
Instantly all the other gentlemen
gather round as the two intending
cOmbatauts march backward step by
step with an admirable slOWness and
deliberation. They are the two
knights at the ends of the lists.
There is an instant's pause, and then
they hurl themselves violently for
ward to meet forehead to forehead
with a shock that ought to break
their skulls. Then the solemn back
ward march recommends, the pause
is made, and the two belligerents leap
at each other once more, and the ter
rible thud is heard again. Some
times they run ten courses before one
turns dizzy and declines the battle,
but oftener five or six blows make
the thinner skulled turn away. to be
contemptuously hustled in the rear
by the conqueror. Occasionally the
sight of one set of duelist5 inspires

that there is no more interest in this
than in the mere farce OF the display.
However such habit arose it can
hardly now be advantageous to the
species. and must tend to lower them
in the scale of intellect, for while the
thickest skulled remain lords. those
with the most room for brains often
get their craniums cracked with fatal
results. This may help to explain
the very uncommon idiocy of domes-
ticated sheep, just as the duello
among the Australian blackfellows
may throw light on the dull, thick
medicines of some of the native
humans in that country. For their
fayorite method of dueling-at least
it was that of which l heard most
is to take two clubs, and, having
drawn lots in some manner for the
first blow, to strike the loser on the
head as he bends down with the
utmost force possible. If that blow
is not decisive. and it is not always
so, it is the turn of the other man to
do his best, and so on until skull is
