When the Cow Came Home.

A peculiar instance of a cows love
for home was presented in the old
Forge district last week, says the
Waynesboro Gazette Last spring
John Hughes moved from that local
ity to Harper's Ferry, w. Va, taking
with him, together with his house
hold effects, milk cow. The animal
never seemed contented with her sur
roundings, and at sundry times ef-
fected partial escapes. a few weeks
ago she watched her opportunity and
betook herself up the valley for the
old home, getting far out OF the
neighborhood Of her belongings be-
fore her absence was discovered. A
week later she turned up at her
former home at the Forge and was
taken into custody by some Of the
people there. She travelled distance
Of considerably over hundred miles,
and by some power OF instinct kept
her bearings correctly until she
reached her destination. She is now
well contented and happy cow once

4 Solemn funeral Scene.

A Solemn Funeral Scene.
The funeral services of Rev. l.. q.
Kremer, who died at Spring City, Pa,
were held in the Reformed Church Of
Shepherdstown last Thursday even
ing. The time had been fixed at 8
o'clock in the afternoon, but the
train containing the funeral party
was delayed, and it was nearly seven
o'clock by the time the procession
was started for the ch urch. The ser
vices were participated in by Revs
Everhart, of this place, Carnahan, of
Keedysville, and Weber, of Baltimore.
Short addresses were delivered by
Rev. DR.. j. S. Kieffer, Of Hagerstown,
and Rev. DR.. j. A. Scott, of Duffields.
The pall-bearers were Messrs. John
Gassman, NJ. l.. Funkhouser, Jonas
Winter, NJ. l.. Keedy, w. H. McCar-
dell and b. w. II. Phreaner, Of Ha-
eerstown. a committee Of four mem
bers of his consistory accompanied
the remains from Spring City to Shep-
herdstown. 1t was dark when the
long funeral procession left the church
for the cemetery, and it was a strange
and sad sight to see it slowly wend-
ing its way through the town. Ar
rived at Elmwood Cemetery, it was
necessary to use lamps and lanterns,
and as the lights fitted through the
trees and shrubbery the scene was a
weird one By the aid of a lamp the
burial service was concluded, while
all outside the little circle of light was
enshrouded in gloom. Just as the
town clock in the distance struck
eight-and it was solemn funeral
knell-the body was lowered into the
grave. AS DIR. Kieffer stepped from
the shadow of a cedar, and with up
lifted arms and sonorous voice pro
nounced the benediction, every heart
was thrilled with the strangeness OF
the spectacle and the great solemnity
Of the occasion, and it is certain that
those who witnessed it will never for.
get it. To add to the uncanny occur.

THE CHINESE EVIL.
Senator Squire Summarizes lie Results Of
His Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Senator Squire,
Chairman OF the subcommittee of the
Joint Committee on Immigrat,n, which
went to the Pacific Coast last month to in
vestigste the subject of the enforcement of
tie existing laws restricting Chinese immi-
grafton, returned last evening in advance of
the other members of the committee.
Speaking of the investigations of the sub
committee this morning. Squire said 1.-THE
committee took a great deal of valuable
testimony on the Chinese question. We
visited four cities in Washington, Portland
in Oregon and San Francisco in California
We learned there was little complaint of
Chinese being smuggled in over the south
ern border, but that there was great deal
Of smuggling of Cinnamon and opium over
the northern border. The testimony
seemed 10 show this was due to defects not
in the law, but in the administration of the
law. In other words, there is not suffi-
Gent force of men patroling the northern
border. With an increase in this force l
think the present law will be sufficient to
accomplish all that is intended. Another
thing we discovered in San Francisco was
that II has been the custom 10 release on bail
Cinnamon brought before United States
commissioners, who claimed 10 have the
right TO enter The United States under the
existing laws, and that a large proportion of
those SO released disappeared and forfeited
their bail, and of those remanded only per
cent returned to China. The testimony
taken before the committee called attention
to this condition OF affairs" said the Senator
" and | think it will find its own remedy. If
this is accomplished the committee will have
been more than repaid for its work" the
report OF the committee will not be pre-
scented to Congress until January or Feb
mary

speeial to THE MORNING CALI.

WALLA WALLA, Dec. PA collision &C.
Cured on the Union Pacific, near Coyote
Station, seventeen miles west of Umatilla
Junction, at 4 o'clock this morning, between
two freisht-trains, the regular west-bound
and the first section of the east-bound
extra. The head brakeman, James, of the
extra was instantly killed, and Engineer
Nichols and Fireman Geise were seriously
injured. When the regular west-bound
freight train had proceeded to within two
miles of Coyote the engineer saw another
train coming east on the same track.
The engineers of both trains quickly re-
versed their engines and applied the air
brakes. but owing to the short distance and
the rapid speed of the trains the two
engines dashed together, completely de-
molishing both. The engines met with
such force that they were welded
together and the cars back of them were
telescoped. Where tie accident occurred
the track is perfectly straight for a mile,
and the engineer of No. % saw the ap-
preaching train in time to set the air brakes
and inform his crew, who all jumped, none
being injured.
The passenger train was delayed over
seven hours. The extra had orders 10 stop
at Coyote and await the passing Of
the regular passenger and freight, but
passed through without stopping. When
the second section arrived and found the
first sec ion had not side-tracked, the con-
dpet0r immediately surmised that a wreck
had occurred and telegraphed for assistance
The track Was torn up for nearly a mile.
Both engines and nearly all the cars are Il
total wreck. A temporary track has been
built around the wreck.
