But to resume: Amanda Jinl1s had for
several months been the afianced bride
of Dudley Vanderchump, scion Of one
of the oldest and most obsolete families
of ''giddy Gotham" Their antics did
not differ materially from those of other
engaged persons. When the light was
turned down in the Jinks parlor the
young brother of Amanda could hear
soft gurgling sounds like the water es-
Gaping from the kitchen sink; and when
they parted at the gate there was the
usual explosive kiss, like the bung blown
out OF beer barrel.
This delightful state of affairs was not
destined to be of long duration. The
first intimation that Amanda had Of her
lovers Inconsistency was his unwilling
ness to read Walter Scott's novels with
her. Heretofore, they had spent hours
every day reading the delightful ro-
mances of Sir Walter. Then, again,
Amanda noticed that Vanderchump's
parting hug had lost much of its tenac-
ity. She no longer felt as she was in a
hay press, and the parting kiss became
voiceless echo. One day as Amanda
was passing an ice-cream lair she per-
ceived her tickle Dudley playing second
spoon in an ice cream duett with q very
blonde girl named Smith, whose father
had much wealth.
Thus they became estranged and
gradually drifted apart, but when
Amanda read in the morning paper that
| her Dudley was about to wed Miss
Smith it caused a pang to shoot through
her heart, although she determined to
| accept the invitation to the wedding.
At the reception Amanda managed to
get near enough the bride to whisper:
"Dudely, you have not acted square
with mo, but forgive, as don't think

your name indicates, you are chump."
"You threw away your chances. Why
didn't you say something about this yes
terday?" replied Dudley Vanderchump,
turning to his young bride partly to
conceal his emotion.
Before retiring that night Amanda
wrote very sarcastic letter to Dudley,
referring to the lack Of beauty on the
part Of Mrs. " and tntimating that
she was the red-headedest, green
eyedest woman in New York, and that
II he ever had occasion to box his wife's
ears it would infuse thrill into the
lumber market, so large were they. The
letter concluded with heartfelt wish
for the young husbands prosperity
under these most Instantaneous cir
cumstances, and in q postscript she said
she would never forget him.
The lovers never met again. Amanda
Jinks became a wanderer on the face of
the world, and wrote books of travel in
foreign lands that made the publishers
sigh, SO slow did they sell. After eight
cen years absence Amanda Jinks once
more returned to New York.
By the way, just before Amanda left
this country, while on Long Sound
boat she rescued from the burning
steamer little boy whose parents had
persisted in the flames. Amanda had
put this little waif in charge of the
gardener at her villa, man by the
name Of O'Donohue,
Amanda looked forward with intense
pleasure to meeting her little ward.

ing ofGO0 workmel ut Benwood and ses

Tram was about starring. when Engineer
Lee Wells, of Wheeling, heard warn
ing note from the engineer of train No
- known as thc Chicago express, which
eoiu MIN that the train was approaching
on same track about fifty rods ahead OF
where the governors train, which was
designated as No -. was standing.
"A wide and low highway bridge spans
the railroad tracks here. making it i'm
possible to see approaching trains on
the other side of the bridge. Nbout
twenty-five feet behind No. "a. an ac-
comm0datlon train running tween
wheeling and Cumberland, came to- a
stand. When Engineer Wells noticed
the approach OF the Chicago express he
immediately reversed his engine, back
ing his train, but the Chicago express,
was moving at so high rate of speed
that 1T soon caught up to the governors
train and crashed into it. The cow
catchers of both trains were demolished.
but the engine of the Chicago express
was more generally wrecked, as were
the platforms of three of the eight pas
senger coaches comprising the train.
Gov. Hills train was thrown back on
the accommodation train. and the cow
catcher of that locomotive was smashed.
Behlnd the accommodation train was a
heavily loaded freight train. and the
three trains together were thrown back
on that with slight force, with no dam
age to the latter except that the cow
catcher OF the engine was torn away.
lad the Governors train consisted of
ordinary coaches instead of two strongly
built parlor coaches it would have been
c1,.,1l w.
two heavy trains. AS it was. both of
these cars escaped without even a
seyatch
The engineer on No. 20 and the en-
ginecr on accommodation train behind
MN had orders, saying they would meet
train No. Z at Moundsville. and telling
them to take the second siding east of
Moundsville. The engineer on No. :
had orders not to pass the second switch
until these two trains were side tracked.
Train No. was in the act of taking the
side track when the collision occurred.
Engineer Fleming, who had been in
the employ Of the road for many years,
said he attempted to stop his train on
the other side of the second switch,
when he applied the air-brake he found
they could not control the train.
On examination he found that the air
had been shut off at the air reservoir on
the tender, which, of course, rendered
the air brakes useless, and his train was
carried past the second switch with the
above result. Engineer Fleming had
his knee cap injured, but no one else
suffered even scratch. The governor
was not at all excited, and calmly wit
messed the rush of occupants from the
first car in their endeavor to escape.
After delay of two hours at Mounds
vile, the engine drawing the governors
train, being too badly crippled to pro-
coed, two parlor cars on that train were
attached to the rear end of the accom-
mediation train, which was the only one
of the three trains in the collision
which was able to proceed.
