Remarkable Accident at Bellaire, o.
! Heavy Loss of Property.
One of the most unique and fortunate
accidents ever recorded happened at
the Cleveland, Lorrain & Wheeling Rail-
road, just over the river from Wheeling
on the 10Th. The yard engine was left
ION the track with steam up while the
Fcrew went to dinner. In some unknown
way, it is supposed by the tanpering of
small boys, the throttle was opened just
fas a passenger train passed and the
Switch was thrown open. The en-
CINE quickly acquired momentum
until il was dashing at speed of sixty
miles an hour over the crooked tracks,
for the most part built on high trestle.
Over the river it whizzed past the as
tonished people along the line clear to
Bellaire, five miles from the starting
point, where it crashed into long train
of freight cars heavily laden with coke.
The engine was demolished and j.
rained coke for rods in all directions.
the train being broken into atoms. By
the merest accident nobody was hurt,
but the money loss is heavy.

A dispatch of the 10Th from Iron
Mountain, Mich, says: A terrible ac-
cident happened to No. 6. the north
bound passenger train on the Chicago &
North Western railroad about l clock
this afternoon, near Elmwood, small
meeting point betW cen Iron River and
Watersmeet, by which Lieut.. Gov. Me-
Donald, of Michigan, FL. A. futile, the
wealthy iron merchant of Cleveland,
and w. f. Cochrane, of Escanaba,
were killed and several other per-
sous seriously injured. The train
was running at a very high rate
of speed and while going around a
sharp curve the hange on wheel of the
last coach broke and threw the coach
over. It struck on a large stump which
literally demolished the coach.
There were nine persons in the coach
and only two escaped uniDjured. Those
instantly killed we're: IL. A. Tuttie, of
the firm of Tuttle, Oglebey & Co., Cleve-
land; w. f. Cochrane, of Escanaba, who
is one of the principal stockholders and
vice president of the new rolling mills
there. Lieut.-Gov. Ii. j. Macdonald, of
Michigan, who lived but a few minutes
after the accident. His arm was COM
pletely torn out and piece ofthe wood
from the Car was run through his right
side The injured are: E. P. Foster,
of this city, who is very seriously in
jured in the back and face, but will re-
broken and seriously injured; Mrs.
Percy Beezer aud child, OF Ashland.
Wis, also seriously injured. One
other lady, name unknown, was
seriously hurt. The coupling did not
part and the coach was dragged three
lengths before the train was stopped.
But for the stump and the security of
the coupling the accident would not
have been serious.
Mr.. O. e. Davidson, of Common
wealth, at the time of the accident was
playing cards with Lieut.. Gov. Nc
Donald, Mr.. futile and Mr.. Coch-
rane. He says that the first intima-
ton that he had that anything was
wrong, was iolting sensation.
the car then swayed two or three
remembered nothing more until he
found himself two or three. hundred
feet in the rear of the train in
the snow. It seems that the car
in turning over struck stump
which penetrated it between the
men who were playing cards. Mr.. Tut
tie who was seated in the seat to the
rear of the table, was instantly killed,
his neck being broken. Mr.. Mcdonald
was in the same seat with him and
his arm was torn out of the
shoulder and was found at least
forty feet from the body. He
lived about two hours and was conscious
for few minutes. The whole side of
the car was torn out by second
stump and it seems miraculous that
any escaped. The dead were picked
MP and brought to Watersmeet.

No New Sovereignty.

The Osservatore Romano says: s'The
Pope cannot accept the guarantees law,
which, instead of recognizing his an
cient rights, confers new sovereignty
upon him. His acceptance of the law
might cause suspicion that too close a
connection existed between Italy and
the papacy, and this would be preju-
dical 70 the interests OF the church.
Moreover, the law would not save the
Vatican in the event of war and the de-
feat of Italy, and might lead to the
burning of the Vatican

the other of 500 pounds, charged with
No. dynamite and each was dis

Evils OF ssFussiness.o

The wear and tear of worry, of use
less fretting, is that which impairs
the machinery of the average Ameri-
can woman's mind. Its not n-.l
routine Of to-day that makes her life
miserable, but the worry about TO-
morrow and the dread of the effects
Of yesterdays possible outcome. The
mental "hot box is prepetually
ahame in the fretting woman's train
Of thought. She fears the result of
things done, and is melancholy over
the possible result of things undone.
She may come honestly by this per
nicious proneness to mental friction
because of being born Of parent.
equally fretful and apprehensive
without reason. None the less is it
the duty of women-and, men, too
to cultivate serenity and to strive for
placidity as the greatest of attributes.
The whole American nation is one of
fussers and worriers and conjurors
of uncomfortable, peace-hlling ghosts
from nowhere save the confines Of a
disordered in imagination. Between
supine don't-careness and fussy Nd
prehension there is a middle ground
that American women people with
unnecessary worries, and that Amer
ican mothers must rescue from this
uncanny population. The fussv
mother viii have fussy sons and
daughters. The child is not the
father of the man so much a. the
daughter Is the mother OF the child
rem. 1t Is the mother that transmit.
the dominant traits TO her progeny.
and the serenity of the mother viii
be found in her daughters, rather
than the nervousness and unrest OF
the American father. The content,
ment that is better than wealth must.
perforce, be more valuable than anv,
thing which wealth can buy. Is not
a contented nature, therefore. nj
least as well worth striving for as is
gold or silver or precions stones
When the fair head of a household
is of the fussy kind, life in that home
Is not a rest, peace, calm, but q
perpetual effervescence, a parody on
true home life. The father NAV be
of the fretful, worrying kind. He
Is not at home long enough to bestov
upon his home the impress of his
fussiness. But if the wife and
mother lacks repose and serenity oi
mind, then is that household a hot
bed of the disorder of fussiness. and
the children viii be counterparts OF
| the fidgetv, apprehensive mother.
