Bodies Recovered Piecemeal.

LYxCHBURG, Va, July 3, lS89.-Thc
scene of the terrible disaster near Thax-
toms, on the Norfolk a. Western Railroad,
is beyond description. There is hardly
enough left Of the train Of eight cars that
took the leap to the bottom Of the awful
pit to make one car.
Unrecognizable portions Of eight bodies
have been taken out, and it is believed
thai fully fifteen others were entirely con
sumed by the fire.
A survivor Of the wreck says that cries
for help were heard from all parts Of the
wreck, but those unhurt were powerless Ia
render assistance.
The women who managed to escape lay
about on the damp ground, suffering from
their Injuries until daybreak, and many
walked long distances to farm houses.
The few passengers left uninjured did all
in their power for the unfortunates.
There were about thirty people who
escaped with only slight injuries and ten
who are seriously injured. The list Of the
dead will be increased as friends Of the
missing people come forward and identify
them. There Is no way at present to as
certain the number Of dead owing TO the
fact that the train was entirely consumed.
The debris of the wreck has been entirely
removed.
STATEMENT OF A PAssExGER.
wAsMfxGToS, July ., ISS0.-Hcnry n.
Martin, Of New Orleans, who was on the
wreck Of the Norfolk and Western Rail
road, but escaped uninjured, as his sleeper
alone Of all the coaches remained on the
tracks arrived In this city this evening.
He said that the night Of accident was
very dark aud stormy, and when he look
ed out Of the window ten minutes before
the disaster the rain was coming down
harder than he had ever seen it before.
An emhankment had been built at the
scene Of the washout with small culvert
beneath to carry of water. The unusual
ly heavy rain fall HAD backed the water up
against this embankment and had under
mined the whole mass Of earth, making a
deep ditch into which the engine and
seven coaches plunged.
Az soon as those who escaped realized
the situation they went to the assistance
Of the injured, but could render very little
aid, as their strength was inadequate 10
Lift the heavy beams which pinionei most
Of the unfortunatcs.
There was no shelter for the injured
who were exposed to the inclemcnt wealth.
or. They were without medical assistance
until six o'clock when the wrccking train
arrived from Roanoke, twcnty-one miles
distant. Nobody, Mr.. Martin says, will
ever know just how many were lost. II e

~ do not believe that anybody in an
ordinary coach escaped alive, and it was
only by miracle that two people in the
coach In front Of mine came out of the
wreck alive The conductor of the train

Death of JnO. B. Reed.

OF the death of Mr.. Jno. b. Reed of Tar
entum, father of John NJ. Reed of Butler,
the Taley Times Of that town says.
THE DEATH OF JOHN 3. REED.
In the death of Mr.. j. b. Reed the com
munity has sustained a loss which will be
deeply felt. In the varied relations of
church member, odd Fellow, Good Tenn
plar. business man, etc, his interest was
so great and zeal so pronounced rs to rem
der him at once "a conspicuous figure and
beloved associate in various fields OF labor
tending to the promotion of the welfare of
his fellowmcn. and the advance OF the so
cietary and industrial interests Of the place.
His character was above reproach. He
was distinguished for the even, steady and
consistent tenor Of his life, and for that
cunstancy of purpose aud that carnestness
and honesty of effort which won for him
the confidence of all those who were
brought into contact with him, and enab-
led those who co operated with him III the
various relations of life tO fully rely on him
to faithfully perform the part allotted to
him.
He will be all the more missed by all the
older residents of the community, as he
has been known tC them from childhood.
Many years ago, when he was mere boy,

period when he had become young man
and his father was engaged in the market

that trade, and for a number of years follow
ed the canal. He had three brothers, Will
son, Carson and Stewart, all known TO our
older citizens At the time of his decease,
Mr. Reed held a position at the planning mill
of James Kennedy and Sons, of this place,
where he was held in high esteem. The
position s one for which it will be difficult
to find worthy successor. But i'll the fam
ily circle which had already been broken
by the death Of the mother, the death Of the
surviving parent will fall with crushing
weight aud saddening effect. But not
without hope they mourn. His exemplary
life and reposing trust in his Redeemcr is
their assurance in this hour of their sor-
row. that it is well with him. May they
walk in his footsteps, and meet him on the
other shore To them we tender our earn

their sad bereavement

Nelson's Tapestries and Fans.

Christine Missions two passions are
tapestry and fans. Most of the former
she has picked up for herself, and she
has some rare and beautiful bits; but the
fans are mostly gifts. One Of them was
given to her in St. Petersburg by a Rus
sian prince, and is a COPY of the famous
fan of the queen of Dude. 1t is white silk,
embroidered with pearls and emeralds,
Ihe sticks of gold and ivory, set with small
rUbies, and the monograms in diamonds.
The Empress Eugene gave her fan that
once belonged to Nine. Dubarry, and was
painted by Boucher, the wrought pearl
sticks of which are studded with tur-
quoises. The Venetians gave her a fan
of silver filigree and the most exquisite
of old Venetian point lace. An Indian
prince, the Thakore of Morvi, who heard
her sing and saw her fans, added re-

New Conception of the Chinese.

Mrs. Arson Burlingame in Bermuda last
winter and have since formed an entirely
new conception OF the Chinese character.
She says that the American people only sec
the refuse of the Chinese nation. Among all
the people she has met, and certainly Mrs
BurhngaIne is sufficiently travelled, she thinks
the Chinese most eXquisitely hoSpitable. The
cultured classes are agreeable and courteous
in the extreme, extending to travellers and
guests all the distinguished attention which
Is often rarely to be found here. When living
In China it was, of course, necessary for
themselves TO preserve some degree of state
and ceremony, and she depended almost alb
Solutely upon her Chinese ma ior dono. who
although u servant, was nevertheless invalu-
able in assisting her to maintain the proper
etiquette and position required DESTROYS of
living IN the American style as much as DOS
sible and of presenting the people with Amer
lean dishes as well as customs. she often
found it very difficult in that strange climate
and country TO procure the material for
truly American dinner. But this priceless
head butler of hers was always capable of
ransacking the whole country to set forth the
banquet toblcS.
The care ken of herself and children also
was suffice to stir her heart with gratitude
even now. Mlny times Mr. Buriingame
would have occasion TO make some Journey
by land or ip on the rivers, while she would
follow With the children and servants at a
slower pace. Then, when danger of any
kind was threatened, when anuoyauces We're
to be overcome and varied troubles TO be
avoided, all was done with strict reference
TO her best welfare and wishes with a spon-
famous good nature and SOLICITORS paiustal<-
