which loft Chicago Sunday night, was
wrecked n mile above Carmel village,
Ind. The train was running at q rapid
rate and was approaching . long tsestie
across Wickerson creek, when the tender
OF the engine jumped the track. The en-
gineer reversed his engine, but bsfore the
air brakes could check the speed Of the
train the locomotive and baggage car had
cleared the ~trestle, but the sleeper snd
smoking coach went over into the creek,
both taking fro almost Immediately and
being consumed in o remarkably short
time.
Those who escaped injury busted them
selves in digging out the dead and injured
from the wreck, but before this could be

Investigation revealed that the accident
was due to the spreading of the rails about
$50 feet from the trestle.
Officials Of the road at indianapolis say
that the train was going quite slowly when
the accident occurred. The engine got
clear over, the cars Immediately next to it

fire, whether from lamps or stoves has moi
been yet ascertained. A second train
arriving on the scene of the
accident shortly afterwards, the dead
and wounded were put on board and taken
back to indianapolis. The wrecked train
was not the vestibule. Nearly all the
killed were in the sleeper, which was
among the first Of the cars to take fire.
The cars were almost totally consumed.
Immediately on hearing of the accident

it was President Ingalls, of the C. C. C. y

been in the east for two weeks past and
had just left Washington for New York.

A Minnesota Girls Suicide.

Last night, after the family had retired,
Edith McNery, hardly fourteen years old,
got up and went into another room to a
bureau drawer. Taking an unloaded re-
volver she put in two cartridges aud came
back into the room where she was sleeping
with two little sisters, who were both awake.
She told them to cover up their heads,
which they did, when she put the revolver
to her ear aud sent the ball through her
brain, killing herself instantly. Her
mother died about two years ago, and since
that time she has had to look after the
home and a large family of children, being
the Oldest girl. This burden, too heavy
for such young shoulders, is the only sup.
possible cause for the rash act.

The following story of a monkeys
heroism is told by all Indian paper: "A
large ourang outang was very much at
tached to his master and to the baby
boy, who wa the pet of the whole
family. One day a fire suddenly broke
out in the house, and everybody was
running here and there to put it out,
while the little boy in his nursery was
almost forgotten, and when they
thought of him the staircase was all in
flames. What could be done? AS they
were looking UP and wondering, u large
hairy hand and arm opened the window,
and presently the monkey appeared
with the baby in his arms, and carefully
climbed down over the porch, and
brought the child safely to his nurse.
Nobody else could have done it, for a
man cannot climb like a monkey, and is
not nearly SO strong. You may Imagine
how the faithful creature was praised
and petted after that. This is a true
story, and the child who was saved was
the young Marquis of Kildare.

TWENTY years ago diamonds were at
three times their present value. The
discovery of the South African mines
brought down the price, but amalgama-
ton in the last twelve months has put
it up by above 100 per cent. Tie
rough estimate is that during the last
few years the output of diamonds has
been 1000, 900 carats per annum, and
that these cut into 100000 carats,
have sold for $4,000, 900. 1t costs ten
shillings per carat to cut diamonds.
The South African mines being now
amalgamated, the output is reduced to
one-half, i. e. 1900, 600 carats, but the
merchants estimate that this will still
produce GA, 200 .O0O. because they re.
gard this as a fixed amount which, no
matter what the price of diamonds may
be, will be spent on them.
