a Train on Which He Was Supposed to
BE Thrown from the Track.
Another attempt has been made upon
the life of the car. This time the con-
spirators planned to wreck a train by
which it WAC believed the car intended
to travel from St. Petersburg to War
saw.
An obstruction was placed upon the
track in the shape of five sleepers, which
was tightly wedged in between the rails.
The train which was supposed to be
carrying the car crashed into this bar
ricade of sleepers and was thrown from
the track.
No details of the outrage have been
obtained, and it is not known whether
any arrests have been made in connec-
| ton with the affair.

The Weather and the Crops.

III the Western States the crops have
mos ly matured aud are generally be-
yond the influence Of the weather. The
deficient rainfall has made the ground
too dry for fall plowing. About the
same conditions prevail in Hin is and
Michigan, bat in southern Indiana the
corn is reported as maturing very slowly
and is not safe from frost.
The cotton picking has been generally
retarded throughout the cotton region
by heavy rains, with considerable dam
age, owing to sprouting and rotting of
bolls. Cane in Louisiana is reported in
fine condition and grinding has com
menced.
In New England the corn is mostly
cut and the crop is good. The fruit

In Pennsylvania the fall seeding is about
completed Tobacco is about harvested
and curing finely. The crop is large
and in good condition.
The tobacco crop is being cut in Ken

Mills Hobbiea
From the New York Tribune.


The Hon. Roger O. Mills has not always
made the tariff question his hobby. When
he was elected to congress eighteen years
ago he was greatly interested in the glorious
subject Of the navigation of the great
American rivers. In fact, he acknowledges
that he owes his first election to his views
on that subject. Corsicana, his native city,
is on the banks of the Drawing Brazos, and
Mr. Mills, in the heated campaign that pre-
coded his first election, pledged himself
when he should sit in the halls OF congress
to get corpulent appropriation for the
opening Of that famous stream TO naviga-
ton. In one oratorical flight, from which
he rarely quotes now, he said:
''There will come time when the Texan
will stand proudly on the banks of the
broad Brazos, and mark the on-sailing of a
stately ship which has passed from New
York harbor down the deep blue Atlantic,
into our royal gulf, and thence through
channel, deep, broad and well-dredged, into
the very heart of our well-loved Texasn
That sentence brought him an over
whelming majority and he did not forget
it, One of the first bills he introduced was
for the appropriation of something ike
BALI million to aid the navigation OF the
Brazos to its source. Instead of half a mill
lion he got five thousand to be used for sur
yeying the course OF the stream. The fol-
lowing summer no was at his home in Cor
sfcana, when two polite strangers called
and introduced themselves as United States
surveyors.
1--WE have been sent down, Mr.. Mills.n
said one, ito survey the Brazos river to it's
source. win you oblige us by telling us
whether we had better go up the river in a
blackboard or on horseback, as it may be
wet liz some placesw
The astute freetrader realized too late
that he had forgotten that the Brazos dried
up completely In the summer. He never
sought another appropriation fo- river nav
igation.

A WIDOW WHO WAITED.
Refused an Offer of Marriage While
Waiting for Married Man.
From the Louisville Couier-Journal


From the Louisville Courier-Journdt
One of the leading attorneys Of this city
was visited the other day by Mrs Margaret
Graham, fair young widow, who wanted
the law to redress curious grievance, and
who left very much disguised when she
| found that the courts could not right her
| wrongs. About eight years ago, she said,
some time after her husband died, she
received an offer of marriage from a man
| of means, and she was disposed to accep5
him. Before doing so she consulted j. K.
Reed, man in whom she had much conf
dence, and who was her neighbor and was
married She land the matter before him
and, to her surprise, he said:
~ don't want you to marry that man."
"Whyp she asked.
because said he, In @ tender tone, II
want you for myself"
Now, Reeds wife was in poor health and
was not expected to live very long. 1t
therefore appeared to the widow that her
| friend and counsellor was only making
prudent provision for the future, and as she
rather prererred him to the other man, she
dismissed tho latter and sat down to wait
for the funeral which must precede her
wedding. She had fair and full under
standing with Reed that they should be
married soou after the wife had left him
widower So she waited and waited, one
YER, threa years. five years, and still the
wife persisted in living, with contrariness
that upset all calculations. But the plighted
troth held good. The widow and her lover
borrowed each others money and got along
on very social and intimate terms-so much
SO that some people in the community act
ually talked unpleasantly about them. Time
went on, aad when the stubborn end came
at last seven years had passed from the date
of the widows engagement. Then she
fondly imacined that she was to have a
new ring ON her finger and she would sit
at the me table with her beloved and
| trade ne stores on his account.
| But LAS for the perfidy Of mankindl
| With six months from the death of his
wife Reed, deaf to all appeals of confding
innocence, led a blushing young girl to the
altar and she became his bride. Aghast at
this wickedness, the wronged woman
wanted to invoke the law upon Reed.
''There must be some law" she said, "for
| such demon as that"
Imagine her disuay when she learned
there was no provision in the statute for
such cases. She went home q sad and dis
appointed woman. thinking Of seven
wasted years that would never come back
to her and the offer that she threw away.
