ing accident occurred about $50 O'Clock
this evening at the West Main street
crossing Of the Michigan Central rail-
road.
A street car containing seven ladies
and two gentlemen was crossing the
track when a switch engine dashed
down upon 1t from the east at high
rate of speed. and the driver being una

1t was but the work ofa moment and
the fearful catastrophe was over. The
street car was carried almost to Acade-
my street, the pieces flying in all direc-
tiOns and the human freight being
mangled in q frightful manner.
Those in the car were Mrs. Alexan-
der Haddock, Mrs. M. f. Wattles, Miss
Gertrude Tillotson, Mrs. Geo. Smiley,
Mrs. Middleton, Mrs. Van Antwerp,
Mrs. s. A. Gibson, Mrs. Jonathan
Barnes, L. C. Lull and DIR. Sutton.
The first six were killed, two being
found dead in the cattle guard, one in
the creek near by, two on track and
Mrs. Middleton died an hour later. She
was thrown in the roadway. Mrs. Glib
son was injured in the head and side
and Mrs. Barnes was bruised badly.
The male passengers both escaped. The
driver of the car escaped by jumping.
The switch engine was running at
high rate of speed. The gates at the
crossing where the accident occurred
are not used between $50 and 6:58 D.
M, the gate keeper going home at that
time.
This custom probably deceived the
driver of the street car, who was new
man, and probably supposed that the
gates would of course be down ifan en-
gine were coming.

A Presbyterian Preacher Suddenly
Gets. Q Bonanza.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May Especial. l.
There is intense oil excitement at the
town of Washington, 80 miles from
Pittsburg. A few days ago the great
Robbins we'll was struck at the ed pc of
the town and yesterday 1t flowed at the
rate of one hundred barrels an hour.
The largest owners are Josiah Robbins,
Of Washington, and J. M. GuffeY, OF
Pittsburg. 1t cost Guffey for his share
of the expenses just $129. The we'll and
the lease of four acres, which goes with
it, couldn't be bought to-day for $780,
600 and Guffey has q fourth interest.
The four acres are owned by Rev. Jere-
miah Johnston, of the United Presby-
terian church. BY the terms of the
lease he gets every eighth barrel that
gushes out of the great well. He never
made a dollar outside of his profession
in his life. For years he has written the
short editorials for the first page of the
United Presbyterian ofthis city.

but the case seems to be different with
Mr.. Griffin, who was one of the most
prominent members of the late House

The Blade is openly opposed to Griffin's
nomination, and

That his nomination will insure defeat
at the polls.
All sorts of objections are raised by the
Blade to Mr.. Griffin, but none of them
are explicable, considered from a polit-
cal standpoint. Mr.. Powers, the new
editor of the Blade, is of the opinion
that when it really comes to nominat-
ing candidate for Governor, J. B. For
aker will be pitched upon as the stand
ard-bearer, with the understanding
that he is to 60 to the Senate and his
lieutenant will fall heir to his shoes.
He thinks that the Lucas county dele

lantren are quite craze in the upper cir

opticons, with a large variety of views,
and, having learned to manipulate them
properly, now give entertainments in
their parlors for the benefit of theiI
friends. Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, who is
an excellent amateur photographer, took
many negatives during the famous Blaine
Damrosch coaching trip, from which Ian
tern slides are made. These, together
with other views of Scotland. she has ex.
hibited at several receptions in her pala-

MASHED POTATOES.

The object in MASKING potatoes is to
separate the starch cells, thereby render
ing the potato less indigestible. After
the potatoes are boiled pour off the water
and place them on back of range to
evaporate all absorbed moisture. Then
press them through a strong coarse sieve
twice, or once through the patent masher.
To quart of potatoes add two ounces OF
creWned butter, half a teaspoonful of salt
and half pint of rich cream; beat it up
with fork until as light as snowfakes,
and serves. Thus prepared the potato is
luxury. Do not press them with fork
or knife, as some vegetable cooks at res
taurants are in the habit of doing. If
they are wanted crusted, place the snowy
dish in the oven few minutes to brown.

How to Prevent Coal Oil Accidents.

Professor P. b. Wilson, inspector of
gas and Illuminating oils, offers these
suggestions TO prevent coal oil accidents,
First, replace glass with metal lamps,
especially when the lamp is to be kept
lighted all night; second, the wick should
fill the entire burner, both as to thickness
and width, but not so tight as to prevent
an upward flow of oil to the point of
ignition, nor to prevent air replacing the
oil as it is consumed; third, have no
vents or openings of any kind near the
burner; fourth, do not set a glass lamp
on any heated mantel or other rest where
it will be heated, and from there carry it
suddenly into the cold air of another
room, as the contraction of vapor in the
lamp will cause an inflow of air which
may carry the flame with it; fifth, COM
pletely fill the lamp before using, and
never refill it or trim the wick until the
body of the lamp and the burner has
cooled. Baltimore Sun.

The Hardships of Explorers.

Not very long ago number of men
landed from canoes at Asuncion, Para.
quay, and made their way to a street car.
They were barefoot, ragged and general.
ly disreputable in appearance. They told
the conductor who they We're, and said
they had no money, but at the hotel, a
mile from the landing, they would be
identified and their fares would be paid
The conductor did not do business on
that basis. He told the party they
looked like beggars, and they must pay
their fares or walk. They thereupon
walked to the hotel, where a hearty well
come and plenty of money awaited them.
They were the Thouar exploring expedi-
ton, sent out by the Argentine Govern
ment, just returning from their long trip
on the Pilcomayo River, and officially
complimented for having accomplished
ga hitherto impossible feat"
Explorers usually undergo a good deal
of wear and tear in their personal ap-
pearance. Stanley, who entered Africa
on one side with head of brown hair,
came out on the other with hair almost
white. Sir Samuel Baker said a while
ago that an explorer could not wander
around Central Africa very long and con-
tinue to look like white man.-Nos0

The New York Commercial Adcertise,
states that at Rondout-on- the Hudson a
man died, leaving a property valued at
$1,000. This was partly mortgaged. The
mortgage and costs involved amounted to
1899, thus leaving but 81 to be divided
among the widow and fourteen heirs.
The widow will, however, have only the
use of this dollar during her lifetime, and
must leave it to her heirs at her death.
There were twenty-five defendants in this
