Their Lives
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Jan. 2S.-At a
late hour tonight it became rumored
around the city that-a horrible accident
occurred this afternoon on the Southern
Pacific road, in which large number of
people lost their lives.
Railroad men refuse absolutely to talk
about the accident, though they admit it
occurred.
From best information obtainabIe it
appears that an east-bound passenger
train teleseoped intoa freight near Luz
ling, fifty miles east of this city on what
is known as Iron Mountain hill.
The wires between here and Luling are
not working, so that all direct sources of
information are cut of.
at O'Clock this afternoon seven or
eight passenger coaches with several ply
sieians were sent out from here to the
scene of the wreck.

Obituary..

MARTIN.-On May T. 1899, Fanny Lewis
Martin aged tifty-three years, the wife of
w. S. Martin, and the daughter of o. II.
Lewis, deceased, calmly and peacefully
breathed her last at her home in Plainfield
To the people who knew and loved Mrs.
Martin something more seems due to her
memory than a mere mention of her death.
1t is not too much to say that her family
has lost devoted wife and mother and the
community a dear friend and kind neigh
Dor. She was always ready with her words
of welcome and good cheer to receive all
who came to her home. Her life was a
busy and active one, and she possessed one
of those rare characters that gave her com
fort and enjoyment as she labored. She
sought after the flowers in lifes pathway
while others were seeking for the thorns,
end liberal in her religious views, she cared
not for caste or creed, but in her magnani-
nous heart was "a place for every one. She
loved books, and from their companionship
she derived knowledge and strength. The
loneliness of the home bereft of that self
sacrificing wife and mother none but God
and their own hearts know. Her sickness
was long and distressing Day by day she
grew weaker, but with the same peaceful
spirit that had marked her life she sank
consciously toward the great unseen with
no fear as to the future. Many sorrowful
friends administered the last earthly rites
and beautiful flowers spoke of the love OF
the people. Rev. l.. l., Warren offciated
this being the sixth time he has been called
to perform this sad rite for members Of
her family. Only two survive-Mrs. G. A,
Shortt of East Montpelier and Rev. j. j
Lewis of South Boston. A FRIEND.

with the car and not with the triple
alliance. The car, to all appearances,
has outgeneraled the sagacious chan
cellor. OF equal significance is the
precarious hold of Crispi upon the 1tal-
ian government He has already been
forced to recede from the agreement
made upon joining the triple alliance,
and it begins to look as though this
were not enough for the Italians, but
that he would be driven from power
altogether, with the result that Italy
would once again throw herself into
the arms of France. The withdrawal
of Italy from the alliance would destroy
the formidable character of the latter
at once and compel Germany 10 seek
other friendships, or run the imminent
risk of a general hostile combination
against the empire. The young Ger
man emperor may find worthy outlet
for his feverish activity before the
summer wanes.-Baltimore american.

The Peers Must Go.

Nothing seems clearer than that the
British house of lords, as at present con-
stituted, must go, and that, too, in
short time. But few years have
passed since Mr.. Labouchere's annual
motion was received with almost uni
versal derision and buried under an
immense majority, but when he moved
on Friday to abolish the upper house
it was defeated in fair house by only
forty-one votes, number of the tories
voting for the motion. The business
of the upper house is transacted usu-
ally by about fifteen members. The
hereditary peers, with rare exceptions,
absent themselves from the sessions,
many of them being untitled by char
acter and capacity to decide public
questions and having no taste for poll
tics. The spiritual lords interest them
selves very little in matters that do not
concern their own order, and hence the
law lords do most of the work. A good
attendance can generally be secured,
however, to defeat any measure favor
able to the people, and it is for this
reason that opposition to the peers as
now constituted has taken such strong
hold of the public mind. When their
presence is needed for the discussion
or passage of ordinary measures they
complacently delegate their duties to
an Insignificant minority; but let any
bill for reform of abuses or enlarge
ment of the liberties and privileges of
the masses be presented and they will
turn out in tremendous force to give it
death blow. Their sole usefulness has
thus been reduced to acting as fender
against hasty legislation, and, as reform
measures have generally been discussed
for a generation in England before
their passage, the house of peers is no
longer useful in this capacity, but is
simply an obstruction to the machinery
of government. The parliament which
succeeds the present body will prob
ably reform the peers out of politics
and create more useful legislative
body to take their place.-Baltimore

0'Brien and Parnell.

The temperature of the Parnell in
vestigation is steadily rising. Attorney
general Webster was markedly success
full in batting Mr.. O'Brien, who, when
confronted with his own writings,
justified them with passionate intensity.
The editor of United Ireland has no
reason to be grateful to the English
government. He has been repeatedly
prosecuted and imprisoned for press
offences, and he has frequently been
expelled from the house of commons
for his vehemence in debate. 1t was
natural for him to assume a defiant
attitude when he was cross-eXamined
respecting the vigorous articles which
he had written for his journal. Apollo
gies and explanations were not to be
expected from one who had been sem
fenced to Jail many times for his out
spoken utterances. He gloried in
everything that he had done and writ
ten-even went to the length of describ-
ing the murder of the police at Man
chester as legitimate warfare, conducted
from the highest motives-and favored
the encouragement with superheated
defamation, of which an effective use
The unionist journals profess to be
Mortified by this exhibition of disloyalty
and recklessness. Surely they could
not have expected the impulsive and
aggressive nationalist editor to be
meek, apologize and conciliatory when
asked if he had been sincere in his
diatribes and denunciations of English
methods of governing Ireland But
Mr.. O'Brien was not the only Irish
leader to take fire. Mr.. Parnell,
who only once lost his self-command
during his own cross-eXamination
could not remain an unmoved witness
of cold-blooded attempts to discredit
his associates character. From his
place in the courtroom he encouraged
Mr.. O'Brien with sympathetic exclama-
tons when the witness language was
most violent, and thereby brought upon
himself reprimand from the presiding
Judge. So intense was his feeling OF
indignation that, in addressing an Irish
deputation the same evening, he com.
planned that political issues had been
laid before a commission which was in.
competent to decide them impartially
Such acrid criticism as his speech con.
tanned was undoubtedly imprudent and
ill-timed, but he had not recovered from
the excitement of the days proceed
ings in court and had just cause to re-
sent the partisan use which has beer
made of the commission. Mr.. Parnel
mas been the coolest man on the home
rule side, and even he is now flaming
with wrath as he perceives what is the
deliberate policy of the prosecution
and where the ill-concealed sympathes
of the judges lie. 1t is evident tina
every nationalist member is to be
" drawn" " in the same manner as Mr.
O'Brien was baited and Infatuated. The
forged letters have disappeared from
the case, and the Irish members are t
be exhibited in cross-eXamination a
men who at some stage of their caree
have been breathing out threatening
and slaughter against England, and whc
are still unrepentant and disloyal a
heart. All this lies outside the rea
scope of the investigation, but it ma,
prove helpful to the unionist cause, ant
consequently the case drags on.-Ne,
York Tribune.

Press Notes.

LAY away the little shirt-waist
That our darling boy once wore;
In the rag-bag gently shove 1t,
He won't need it any more.
With pair Of red suspenders
We must soon our boy endow,
For the fact is most apparent
Papa's pants fit Johnnie now.
Lay aside the knickerbockers
With the fringe around the knees,
Take the marbles from the pocket,
All the strings and nails and keys.
Buy him socks instead of stockings,
Or the boy will raise row;
For our darling has been growing
Papa's pants fit Johnnie now.
