THE FOOT WAS WOODEN,

And Its Owner Used to Having 1t Stepped
 On in Street Cars.
 A Michigan avenue car stopped at Second street recently to permit young lady and gentleman to get on, says the Detroit News.
 AS the former, who was young as well as pretty, passed forward to accept seat offered her, she tripped over the out stretched foot of an individual who was sit ing at the rear of the car.
 In an instant she was almost at full length in the bottom of the car. The ex- clamatiOns of the passengers and the black looks they directed at the extended stum- bling block should have caused its owner to sink through the seat. Quicker almost than she went down, however, she was on her feet again, and gracefully acknowledg. ing the courtesy of the gentleman who sur rendered his seat. She was greatly em- barrassed, and her escort looked like a thunder cloud and as if he would like to punch the head of the fellow who had caused all tho trouble. But he didn't He contented himself with occasionally step ping vigorously on the still extended and offending foot. There did not seem to be the least sign of consciousness from its owner, while the passengers awaited the denouement Finally, with lurch from tho car as an excuse, the foot received an other ferocious dig that was so pronounced as to almost twist the man 0et of the seat Thinking that perhaps he Id really in jured the man, the escort rh 4led an ex- cuse that was received in great equanimity with the gratifying explanation:
 ''Oh, don't apologize; it's Q wooden one | and used to being stepped On."

THE UNKNOWN DEAD.

ThGre Is No Record of Them, SHvc in the
 Book of the Recording Angel.
 'Found in the water the body of an un- known man"-'found dead in an area an unknown woman"-"died at the station house, where he had applied for shelter, a man; name unknown" Announcements to this effect, though 8 little moro circum stantial, appear daily in our public journals, says the New York Ledger. An unfortu- nate human waif drops dead in the street; his corpse is taken to the nearest police office; twelve individuals, in great hurry to get back to their business, say "acci- dental death," and the coroner pockets his fee; whcreupon the body is hastily thrust into pine coffin and hurried off to the home of the homeless and nameless-Pot- ter's Field. It can not be helped, perhaps, yet it is, nevertheless, very sad.
 But little time is given for identification especially in summer, when the safety of the living demands the speedy interment of the dead. Sometimes the only parties who ''view the body'' are the jurors, the cor oner and the police. Once cast into blank grave in the pauper Golgotha, the dead un- known may be considered as among the "things lost on earth" There is no record of him thereafter, save in tho book of the Recording Angel Friends may mourn his loss-for sometimes the ''unknown" have friends. They may learn his fate and even trace his clay to the Cemetery of the Desti- tute; but only to the gate-no farther. Who shall designate his particular molderinR- place amid the undistinguishable hosts of ! mounds, as like each other as the pillows o1 l the sea!
 This Is not as it should be. Some relic of 1 the unknown dead should be preserved ! whereby they might, if search should be afterward made for them by friends or rel
 atives, be identified; and the graves should
 be numbered and catalogued, so that on
 such a relic being recognized, the dust o1
 it's former possessor might be discoverabIe
 But who cares for the ''unknownv
 | Rattle his bones over the stones
 He's only pauper whom nobody owhs!'

MRS. MAVERICK VERY WEAK.
She Was Much Affected on Receiving the

She Was Muci, Affected on Receiving the
 News of Her Rcpricve.
 LIVERPOOL, Aug. 24.-When Mrs May brick received the news of the commu tation of her sentence she was much affected thereby, although incapable in her weak state of any marked mani festation of emotion.
 The chaplain of the jail visited her at breakfast time at which hour her con- dition had reached the weakest point since her conviction by reason of the revulsion of feeling following her re- prieve. She is now completely pros trated and it is feared that she will not live long in the confinement prescribed by the modification of her sentence.
 Brierly, Mrs. MaybriclS's paramour, sailed for Boston on the steamer Scythia yesterday.
 The committee which since Mrs. May bricks conviction has been actively at work to secure it's reversal by the Home Secretary, has resolved to continue the agitation in her behalf and to urge the Home Office to grant her free pardon. They hope for success on the ground that MT. Matthews decision to commute the sentence Is based on the reasonable doubts which exist as to whether the condemned woman poisoned her hus- band.

Much Sadness In Knoxville Over the Flat
 Gap Crock Railroad Accident.
 KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 24.-The scenes in this city last night were of a mournful character. Great excitement prevailed when the reports of tho acci- don't, at Flap Gap Creek, reached here and thousands of people wero assembled at the station waiting for the relief train to arrive. The feeling was intensified as the wounded and dead were taken from the train and the many ghastly scenes made a number of the throng sick.
 Over a hundred carriages were in readiness to convey the wounded and killed to places of refuge. Many of those hurt lad to wait some time to have their injuries attended to, thero being scarcity of physicians. The drenching rain. which was faGing, will, in all probability, tend to make the wounded ones cases moro serious. Col. Isham G. Young, chairman of the Board of Public Works, died last even- ing. Edward F. Barker Is thought to be dying, also Alderman J. E. Barry. Barker was pinned under tho cars for more than an hour. County Judge Maloney is in precarious condition. He will hardly recover. His ribs are broken.
 l An inquest was held over the body of Col. Powers, and verdict of accidental death from unavoidable causes was re- turned. His remains were shipped to Augusta, Ky.
 The city Is in mourning and business practically suspended.
 The belief is general that the wreck can be attributed to the bad condition of the road. The city subscribed e25O,- 900 two years ago toward the construc- ton of the road and the contract period expires to-day. It was to show the city authorities that the road was com pleted that the excursion was given. George Eager of Boston, the president of the company which built the road. and Lenox Smith. vice-president of the Knoxville Cumberland Gap and Louis vile Railroad escaped injury.

 Where do worthless men and women como from?
 From worthless homes.
 This is probably the best direct answer that can be given to this comprehensive query, says the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
 Badly-reared children develop into worth less men and women. This is the rule. The exceptions either way arc not numerous.
 Occasionally you find boy or girl in respectable family whose instincts are low and whose tastes arc inclined to be vicious. These arc the "black sheep" They are not uncommon even in the best of families.
 Is there any necessity for these being black when all the others are white2
 In somo instances there is, because some children are born with very low order of moral sense just as some arc born with a very low order of intelligence. The greater number of wicked and i'm moral men and women are such because of defective training rather than because of inherent depravity. They have not had the advantage of an environment calculated to develop their better natures.
 This should be sufficient to show the ne cessity of rearing children in such 8 way as to encourage the development of the moral
  afford the surest protection to society against crime and ipbsnorality. How many of those who are interested in providing for neglected children in foreign countries ever think of those at home who are really in more deplorablc con- dition than those who are engaging their attention?
 What is to be done about ita One way is for society to take charge of every homeless child and provide for it an environment that will tend to develop its better qualities.
 Who are homeless! All who are without the means of proper education and framing. A house and parents do not constitute home in it's true sense.
 Let society take charge of all children that are not being properly trained, wheth- CT they have parents living or not It will be cheaper in tho end than to allow them | to grow up in wickedness until maturity, and then board them in jail or warehouses. Besides, this will decrease the number of criminals and the amount of crime, and ill 1 the same ratio improve society. Something can be done by improving | homes, but as a rule those who have gone so far as to settle down to living careless, immoral lives, are almost hopeless. They l regard their children as accidents, and have | no care for them beyond keeping them in food and clothing until they are able to take care of themselves.
 What can you expect from home the at mosphere of which is rocking with profan- 1 ity and vulgaritya You would be surprised | to find purity and refinement coming from it. These are two of the most desirable qualities in men and women. Without them society would go to sticks in short order. They distinguish the civilized from 1 the uncivilized.

Shot Her from Behind.

ROME, N. Y., Aug. a4.-The murder of Miss Maud Bortle by Edward Knowles was cold-blooded and unprovoked. Miss Bortle was the 16-year-old daughter of Edward J. Bortle, an extensive hop grower of the town of Lenox. She was bright girl, and no one knew that she had an enemy in the world. Tho mur- lerer Is 34 years old and cousin of his victim, Though not an idiot, his mind seems unbalanced.

THE SMOkERS'S WEED.
Something About the Country's Immense
 Tobacco Crops.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug. 23.-Re- ports from all of the seed-leaf tobacco growing sections of the United States indicates fair yield of good average quality. Farmers have generally sold out their crops. and the prospect for good prices Is excellent.
 The acreage in the Connecticut val ley has increased over that of last year, but of course Is nothing to what it was ten years ago, while the acreage in the Housatonic valley is larger than ever. The crop is large in both valleys, and in the heaviest tobacco-grow- ing towns, such as Hatfield, East Hartford and South Windsor, which together have nearly three thousand acres, the quality was never better, al- though the yield is perhaps 200 pounds per acre less than last year. Very few offers have yet been made for the new crop, for which growers expect from ten to twenty cents per pound. The crop will be two-thirds harvested this week and the remainder will be put in by September.
 In New York State the crop in Onon- daga county is grown on more acres than last year, but the yield per acre is less and ten days more of good weather will be needed to perfect tho latest late set plants. The quality is excellent on the uplands, but here. as clsewhe re in the Chemung valley and Big Flats dis trict, tho crop On low land has been in- jured by the wet.
 The crop in both sections is largely Havana, as it is tn Massachusetts, the finest seed-leaf being raised in East Hartford. The Pci.nsylvaUia crop occu- pies fully as many acres as last year, including l5,O0o acres in the single county of Lancaster. There is ten dency on the part of the growers to get larger patches of tobacco yearly, but comparatively few farmers new to the business embark in it. The crop is about equally divided between seed leaf and Havana seed. The yield as well as the | quality will be fully up to the standard, not less than 45, GOO cases in Lancaster County, where it averages 1,450 pounds of seed-leaf and no pounds of Havana seed per acre.
 The crop will be mostly housed by the end of the week. Twenty cents has been offered in one case for the first i and second grades, with the filler
 thrown In. Wisconsin has about ten per | cent more acres in tabacco this year | forward, and much ol the earlier set is | already housed, while the latter Is do. ing nicely.

 WHEELING. W.Va., Aug. 24.-A fright full collision occurred yesterday on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad between Grafton and Parkersburg.
 An accommodation train collided with a special east-bound train. carrying Bal timore and Ohio officials, at point be- tween Petroleum and Silver Run, 25 miles from here, on the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The special train. was ordered to pass the accommo odation at Petroleum, the farther point east, and the accommoda- tion to pass the special train at Silver Run, tho farther point west. At the time of the collision both trains were going at the rate of 35 miles an hour. The trains met on sharp curve and without moments notice dashed into each other, wrecking both engines and baggage car, instantly killing Engineer Layman, fatally 1nJurlng Engineer George Rowland, and instantly killing the two firemen-James Fletcher and John Bailey.
 One of the officials, named Hunter, | was badly and perhaps fatally hurt. A Mrs. Manley, of Central, West Virginia, was badly injured. Councilman Robert Malley of this city was cut and bruised. Baggagemaster Rose was cut. A colored porter on the special was thrown through glass door and probably fatal ly injured.

THE NEW JOHNSTOWN.
Homes Are Springing Up All Over tn
 Flooded District.

JoHNsTowN, Pa., Aug.-24.-Houses are springing up all over the flooded district with astonishing rapidity, and the people here arc making every en- deavor to become settled.
 A number of workmen are putting up buildings 5Ox110 feet for families, each house being expected to comfortably accommodate thirty small families. These houses are being constructed and will be throughly furnished by tho National Red Cross.
 It is said that the invitation of the Red Cross Association to President Harrison to visit Johnstown has been misinterpreted; that the President was not invited to visit the scene of the great flood to view for himself ''the ter rible condition of things there," but to see what great progress had been made in providing for the homeless, etc.

 OTTAWA, Aug. 24.-1t has been known that during the past week the Dominion Government has been receiving some Important despatches from England on the Behring Sea dispute, but the reti- :ence of tho Cabinet Ministers here has made it difficult to ascertain the pur- pose of these deSpatches. It was learned, however, that as one of the results of ;he informal correspondence between she British and United States Govern nents an understanding was arrived at that the form only of seizing Canadian Iessels caught sealing or with seals on board in Behring Sea would be gone through with. while only in the most lagrant cases which could not be passed sver would the cargo be conHscated. This, it Is held, allows matters to 'tand just as they were with regard to he claim of the United Stated to these .eal fisheries until the question of juris- fiction is definitely settled. At the tame time tho bill of damages for illegal | 'eizure against the United States, !hould the case be decided against ;hem, would be very materially lessened | by pursuing such course.
 It is said to-day that the United | States Government has submitted a pro- oosal to the British Government with a view of arriving at an early settlement of the Behring Sea question, and which will be submitted at full meeting oi the Dominion Cabinet, and that a meet ing has been called for Sept. 15, which all members of the Cabinet now absent from Ottawa have been requested to attend.
