parents when but 2 years of age, en-
migrating into Kentucky, where he
grew up into manhood.
About 1880 he emigrated to the
state of Illinois. where he met with
and married Miss Juda Ellis on the
18th day of June, 1885, IN the city of
Jacksonville, Morgan Co.
Ten children where the fruit of this

Father Finch was member of the
Universalist church, although his
parents and seven sisters were mem
bers of the Presbyterian church.
He and an older brother were be-
levers in Universalism from boyhood.
Himself and wife became members of
that church about 1850.
Deceased was a pioneer of this
county and also the last surviving
member of his fathers family, having
enjoyed this life some 16 years longer
than any of his sisters or brothers.
He was also a member of the Odd
Fellows from 1856 until he came

To his family he was faithful IA
ther and kind protector, and died as
he firmly believing in the ia
therhood of God and brotherhood of
mankind.
The following lines expresses his
firm belief
And Oh there lives within my heart
hope long nursed by me.
And should its cheering ray depart,
How dark my soul would be.
That as in Adam, all have died,
In Christ shall all men live
And eyer round his throne abide
Eternal praise to-give.
That even the wicked shall at last
! Be fitted for the skies:
And when their dreadful doom Is past.
To life and light arise.
ask not how remote the day,
Nor what the sinners woe;
Before their dross is purged away,
Enough for me to know;
That when the cup of woe is drained;
The metal purified,
They'll cling to what they once disdained,
And live by:Him that died.

A Horrible Wreck.

BosToN, Mass, Aug. l0.-One Of
the most disastrous railroad accidents that
ever occurred in the vicinity Of Boston,
and one that rivals the famous Wo,laston
disaster OF October >, $50, occurred short
ly after l o'clock this afternoon on the
same road, the Old Colony and very near
the same vicinity,
In the Wolaston disaster fifteen were
killed and nearly $50 injured. To-day ff-
teen persons were killed, twelve instantly,
twenty three were seriously injured, three
fatally, and several more sustained slight
injuries.
The train wrecked today was the Woods
Holl express which left Woods Holl at
10 80 a. N. and was due in Boston at l 10
p. m. 1t consisted of locomotive LIZ,
manned by Engineer Babeoek and Fire
man John Ryan, baggage car, smok err
the Pullman car Puritan and four ordinary
coaches heavily loaded
The train had passed Quincy station at
IL 81 p. M, running about ten miles an
hour, aud just beyond Presidents bridge,
about one-eighth Of a mile toward Boston,
the engine left the track, from a cause at
present undetermined, and plunged into
an embankment twelve feet high and was
buried upon one side. The tender, bag
gage car, smoker and Pullman passed by
the engine and were stretched along for
a distance Of one hundred feet beside the
track. The foremost passenger coach, No.
236, left the rails, and its foremost truck
swerved to the left and plunged diagonally
through the car floor The car then fell
upon its left side upon the engine. The
lower forward portion was torn to pieces
and of the passengers in the car, some
fifty in number, many were thrown int
the rear corner, from which eleven dead
bodies were afterwards taken out

The Union Works OF San Francisco
have Just completed lOO-stamp silver
mill, which is one of the largest pieces of
mining machinery ever built, and, it is as
serted, the finest stamp mill ever made
anywhere. The mill was made for tht
Hunchaca de Bolivia company, a corpora
ton of Partisan and Bolivian capitalists.
1t is the largest silver producing company
in the world and has exceedingly rich
mines in Bolivia, "A 900 feet above the sea.
The company has built a railroad 900 miles
long from its mines to the sea coast at
Antofagosta, Chill, where the mill will be
erected. The mill weighs 2,O0O tons in its
entirety. Twelve hundred tons are being
loaded on a bark and the rest will follow
in another vessel in thirty days.
alt is the finest piece of modern min
ing machinery ever built said a
member of the company. s'It is finely fin
ished, and it contains several improve
ments of technical kind which will be
interesting to mining engineers. What
makes this machinery noteworthy, is that
it is the first large piece made
here for export for some time, as Chicago,
by cheaper labor, has secured all foreign
contracts.
