A London Fad.

An American who has returned
from Europe has this to say con-
cerning a popular "fad":-T do not
suppose you will believe me, but it is
a fact that ] saw dozens ofwomen in
London who wore single eye glass
or monocle in the street. The first
woman I saw on Bond street, and
she must have been at least 43 years
old. She was tall and slim, and her
face was lined and scanned with dis
sipation and care. She stared at
me supercilious through a single
glass which was attached to a thread;
and / nearly fell backward off the
curb. Before / had gone a dozen
PAGES furtherI saw another woman
pull her eyeglass up from the sling
by which it was suspended from her
dress, stick it in her eye precisely as
q man might have done, and glare
earnestly through it ut a sporting
newspaper. Then / kept my eyes
open, and / counted half q dozen
women with eyeglasses before / got
away from Bond street. 1t was q
whim, pure and simple, and ON awful
affectation."

Terrible Railroad Accident,

The st. Louis express, on the New York
Central road, met with bad accident about
two miles east of Palatine, n Y. The first
section broke down and stopped for repairs.
The rear brakeman was sent back to signal
the second section, but for some unknown
reason failed to perform his duty. The en-
gineer Of the second section says he did not
see him, and the first thing he saw was the
lights OF the first section directly in his front
The first section was made up of baggage,
mail, express and three passenger cars packed
with people and Wagner sleeper on the end
The crash was terrific The second section
teIescoped into the first section, knocking
out the lights and plunging everything into
darkness it is feared that the
total number of deaths will run
up to twenty-five and possibly more. as the
the car was full. 1t is difficult to get partic-
ulars at this hour. Relief trains with sur
geons and physicians on board have gone
from Albany and Utica.
The rear private coach, the kank akee, tel
escOped the Wagner car of the first section
to halfit distance. The only damage caus-
ed to the day cars was in the smashing OF
windows and lamps. When the crash came
every seatinthe coach next ahead the sleeper of
the first section was taken. Onehalf of the
passengers were women. They made q wild
break for the door, but were deferred from
jumping out in the darkness by the coolhead-
ed passengers. The wreck could not have
occurred in a more unfavorable place. On
the left, in the pitchy darkness, and fifty
feet below, was the roaring Mohawk. Not o
light could be seen except those in the coaches.
The lights in tho sleepers had all been ex-
tinguished. One-half of the passengers were
awakened from sound sleep to find them
selves wrapped in gloom. For while the
people were too dazed to do anything. The
train men were mute and reserved az usual
under such circumstances. 1t was the three
rear heavy Wagner sleeping and private
coaches that had sustained the shock, and
saved those three passenger coaches filed
with men, women and children from destruc-
tion. Axes and saws were procured and will
ing hands set to work to cut away the sides
of the telescoped cars.

COLLAPSE OF A CORNER.

Heavy Shipments Of merican Cotton

LIVERPOOL, Special.-The cotton corner
has collapsed on report that Mr.. Steen-
strand, the manipulation Of the corner, WIS
selling. The new crop is pouring in rapidly,
and this will lessen Mr.. Steenstrands oppor-
tunities for disposing of his stock 1t Is the
general opinion that the ring is smashed.
The total amount rendered in settlement of
contracts to deliver is 49, 400 bales Mr..
Steenstrand does not conceal his surprise
and disappointment at the failure of the
corner. He sayh it was the large number of
bulls that rode upon his back that caused the
collapse. He had not anticipated that 80
many would buy cotton in the hope that
there would be a rise in prices that would en-
able them to sell at profit The quantity
of cotton held by bulls until the last
movem ent was much larger than he ex-
pected. They must have lost heavily, he
said, but he was unable to give an idea of
their losses. He said he believed one result
of the collapse would be the abolition of
short time mills. 1t is reported that the cor
ner operators will ship the bulk of their cot
ton to the continent The rumor, however,
is not believed, as the stocks in Europe are
already heavy. The Liverpool market is re-
joicing that the loss will fall mostly upon
continental bears 1t is reported that one
large spinner in Alsace suffers to the extent
of 91OO, 600 on this account, but few fail
ures are expected here.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE COLLAPSE.
MANCHESTER, Specialize excitement
on the cotton exchange here was much less
than at Liverpool, though the market was
very animated. No opinion can be definitely
formed as to the full significance of the col
lapse of the cotton corner until the situation
is better known, but confidence is expressed
that it will be impossible to make a new cor
ner for October. 1t is not expected, how
ever, that cotton will become really cheap.
The prospect for a fortnighG's stoppage of
the mills has diminished. 1t is reported that
MIR. Steenstrand's gain through the corner
will not exceed 100000 He expected to
make g25O,OOO He has been buying since
December, when he purchased at 32-64d.
1t is evident that at the last moment he
feared concerted action by the brokers and
spinners and tried to unload his stock.

Like liquid gold the wheat field lies,
A marvel of yellow and russell and green,
That ripples and runs, that floats and flies,
With the subtle shadows, the change, the

Such as play in the golden hair of q girl,
A ripple of amber, a flare
Oflight sweeping after, O curl
In the hollows like swirling feet
Offairy walters, the colors run
To the western sun
Through the deeps of the ripening wheat.
Broad as the feckless soaring sky,
Mysterious, fair as the moon-led sea.
The vast plain flames on the dazzled eye
Under the fierce suns alchemy,
The slow hawk stoops
To his prey in the deeps;
The sunfower droops
To the lazy wave; the wind sleeps,
Then all in dazzling links and loops,
A riot of shadow and shine,
A glory of olive and amber wine,
To the westering sun the colors run
Through the deeps OF the ripening wheat
Oglorious land! Ny Western land.
Outspread beneath the setting sun!
Once more amid your swells l stand,
And cross yourBod lands dry and dun

Who sweeps amid the ripened grain
With swift, stern reapers, once again.

The report of the last synod of the diocese
Of Athabasca, the most northerly religious
association in the world, has reached the
Free Press at Winnipeg. The synod was held
at St Luke s church, Vermillion. 4 memorial
prepared by the synod for presentation to
the minister of the interior throws vivid
light on the difficulties attendant on the Ia
bors of the missionaries in tue far northern
district. During the winter of 1886 and 1887,
between the Peace and Athabasca rivers on
account of starvation and consequent canni-
balism, party of twenty-nine Cree Indians
was reduced to three. In the Mackenzie river
district there were several cases of death by
starvation and one or more ofcannibalism.
During the last winter among the Fort Chipe
wyan Indians between twenty and thirty
starved to death, and the death of Others
was accelerated by the want of food. The
memorial closes with an urgent appeal for
aid from the government. Mackenzie diocese,
lying further north, has necessarily much
greater. privations.
