Railroad Wreck in Ontario.

ST. GEORGE, Ont, February 28.-- The
bridge through which the st. Louis ex
press crashed last evening is sixty feet
high, and is a substantial iron structure
with massive stone pillars. To avoid even
the possibility of accident it was over
hauled week or two ago. The accident
was caused by a'broken wheel. Tbs heavy
dining car broke through the iron trestle-
work after the ties and other wood work
had been stripped off by the
car ahead. The dining car had been
constructed mostly of iron. 1t was all
most impossible to force an entrance into
it by the use of axes and saws 1t fell on
its end and the passengers were thrown to
the bottom among mass of broken tables
and dishes. Upon the top of all this fell
the cooking furnace in full running order.
The danger of fire was imminent, but
luckily the first thought of the rescuers
was to prevent this still worse horror from
befalling the poor victims crushed be-
meath the mass of debris. Beneath all one
man lay calling for help, and when taken
out he was found to be very slightly in
jured. The shrieks of lady near him
were heartrending, and she died before the
rescuers could get her out. Two men
were sitting together, engaged in conver-
sation when the crash came. One was in
stantly killed, and the other was rescued,
badly but not hopelessly injured.

MISCEGENATIO
A Negro Farm Hand Marries White
Girl and Gets in tJail.

A Negro Farm Hand Marries a White
Girl and Gets in tJail
LOUISVILLE, KY, February 27.-Thomas
Cassonnee, negro, and Annie Abbott,
buxom white girl of this city, were mar
ried in JeffersOnville yesterday by s. A.
Miller, negro preacher. The parties
came to Jeffersonville the night before
from Trimble county, KY, and remained
in seclusion until morning, when Swain
went to the county clerk and scared
license, making oath that his
bride elect was 21 and saying nothing as
to her complexion. Shortly after the
marriage the brides father, VIM. Abbott,
we'll to do farmer, turned up in great
distress and was wild with grief when he
found that his daughter had married his
negro farm hand. He caused the arrest
of the bridegroom and the minister,
who swore the girl had a veil over her face
during the ceremony, and that in conse-
quence he did not know her color. He
gave $500 bond and was released, while the
bride and groom were left in jail. The
charge is miscegenation, and the punish
ment is three years imprisonment.

explanation of the infinite. The three
friends had by their long study of the
mysteries of the universe reached state
of exaltation that was an absolute belief
in the power of the divine.
A near and dear relative of Colonel
Price, lady now living and we'll known in
Missouri, Mrs. Willis, was compelled to
undergo a dangerous surgical operation
in New York. The three friends, on their
knees at her bedside, registered a vow that
if the lady be spared they would de-
vote the remainder of their lives
to the propagation of the holy
truths'in which they believed; would re-
nounce the world and work for the spirit
ual elevation of mankind. The lady lived,
and the trio kept their vow. They
preached on the streets and were last seen
by an old friend of Colonel Prices en-
gagged in that calling in Buffalo, N. Y.
This is the story told by relatives and
near friends, and the prominence of the
parties has attracted much attention and
comment upon the rare and peculiar oo-
currence.

accurately made by expert engineers, and
armed with these papers, Ocl. w. A. Lay
ton, the president of the road, went to
New York for the purpose of negotiating,
bonds for the construction of the line, but
New York capitalists were unwilling to
take hold of them. So the road has since
rested in abeyance. Yesterday an agent
of the Queen and Crescent system came
TO Waco for the purpose of Investigating
the surveys, estimates, ETC., of
the line. 1t is believed in rail
road circles here that the Erlanger
system is desirous of occupying that line,
and the incorporators of the Texas Mid
land would be willing to turn over their
charter, contracts, right-of-way and esti-
mates to the Erlanger system to see the
road constructed. The line penetrates the
rich pineries of east Texas and the mines
pf Cherokee county. 1t would give Waco
b direct line to Cincinnati, and would
shorten the route to New York by over
POO miles.
