There is one lucky baby and
happy mother in California tonight,
says the Stockton Independent of
August 4th. The mother and babe
were passengers ON the Southern
Pacific north-tound passenger train
yesterday afternoon. The child which
was about year old. was standing in
its m'ther's lap looking out of tho
open window. 1t gave one of those
sudden springs to which babies are
addicted and. before the mother
could clutch 1t. went out through the
open window. The shrek Of the
mother brought brakeman to tn.
spot, who pulled the bell cord, and
the train. which was going at full
speed, was checked as soon as posi-.
bic.
The conductor scon made his
appearance, and when the case was
explained to rim, ordered the train to
be backed up slowly TIL the spot was
reached where the BABY had made the
frightfal plunge. IT, the surprise Of
all the sound Of the babies cries were
heard, for it WAS supposed that il
would be instantly killed.
Nearly avery man On the trair
jumped of to search for the little one
which was found by the road sid,
crying Justify. II was soon placed in
its mothers arms. perfectly uninjnred
not even showing = scrstch a. an evi
dence of its narrow escape from
death.

wood lumber ha, become valuable in
Mississippi aud at New Orleans. it
now commands from S55 /" 800 a
thousand, which is considerably more
than is paid for white pine. 1t has
been discovered that cottonwood Is es-

A Sertlement In sight.

NEW York, Aug. 21.-A special from
Port-au- Prince Ct August s says: These
are exciting times fol HSyti. The Span
ism gunboat Sanchez went TO ST. Marc
last Monday morning, having the En-.
glish c~onsu'-general and the Spanish
consul on board. The two consuls we're
empowered 10 make peace with General
HiDnolyte. but the first demand of Legi-
tim, hat the northern army should be
Withdrawn and that Hippolyte was to
enter Port au-Prince with II small body
guard, knocked the arrangement in the
head. Hippolyte then dictated his own
terms and the Spanish gunbost returned
here Tuesday evening. The meeting in
the palace directly after was stormy. 1t
is generally understood in Port-au.Prince
that a cessation of hostilities has been
arranged.
The English gunboat Forward has left
here and her destination, though secret,
ia probably St. Marc, Legitime probably
having agreed to H~ippolyte's terms.
There ia a m on the streets that Legi-
time has been guaranteed a cafe passage
out OF the country aad a certain amount
of cash and that he is TO leave here on d
French steamer August IA. but many
think his life will not be spared that long
in Port-au. Prince.

Extremely Anxious TO Marry

VANDALIA, Mo, Aug. 21.-Two months
ago a store in the town OF Perry was
robbed and about $500 worth of clothing
stolen. Suspicion fell on Henry King, a
young man of good character, but no ar.
rest was made, as the majority of the
people believed him innocent. Three
weeks after the robbery the people were
astonished at the news hat King had
married a woman fifteen years his senior.
Yesterday the young husband attempted
suicide by taking poison. While his
friends were at work trying to save him
he told them it was true that he was
guilty of the robbery and the fact was
only known to one other person, the
woman he married. She secured proof
of his guilt before the marriage, and call
ing him up showed her proofs and told
him that she would give him his choice
of marrying her or going to the peniten-
tiary. He pleaded in vain hat he was
too ycnng to marry yet and that she was
old enough to be his mother. The old
girl knew the value Of her hand and was
relentless. Honeymoon or the Jail was
her ultimatum, and the poor fellow wilted
and consented 10 be married. After hard
work the doctors saved him, and he says
he prefers the penitentlary TO the EN-.
braces Of his antique spouse. The woman

TOLEDO, Aug. ga call has been
issued for a convention of colored voters
of Ohio to be held in Toledo September
10, to determine the course they will
pursue in TIE coming state election. In a
circular accompanying the call they cite
many grievances against the pres.
ent state administration. School
troubles at Oxford and other places
where colored children are excluded from
public schools is mentioned. Governor
Foraker is denounced for his ill-treat-
ment of colored voters. The call is

berry of the city treasury and a large part

compelled to resign, turned smuggler the
day he was elected, and ever SINCE, under
cover of his office, defrauded the city of
immense sums, amounting in the aggre-
gate to $50, 0C0, 600. There is a strong
suspicion that two members of the min
istry shared largely in the plumber.

pset few days, the facts OF which have
just been developed. Last winter Emma
Nash and ice Nash, man and wife, were
