STATUE OF THOMAS STARR KING.
was born in %ew York city Dec. II,
1924. His father, Thomas Harrington
King, was Universalist minister. The
son also entered the ministry. He was
pastor of the Hollis Street church, ip
Boston, for eleven years. He Eeot to
San Francisco to take charge Of the Uni.
tartan parish there in 1860. His greatest
fame rests on the fact that when strong
movement was made to carry California
into the Confederacy he combsted the
scheme with eloquence and success. He
died in 1864.
Vanderbilt Planting Trees his Estate.
One hundred and twenty acres have
/. been plowed up and planted with white
pines, which have been arranged throws
seven feet apart, with space of five feet
between the trees in the same row. This
: makes 1900 trees to the acre. The young
trees are from fifteen to eighteen inches
in height ard are obtained from nurs-
cry near Chicago. The white pines which
have been set cut On the slopes where
the timber has been cut down take one
wear to root themselves firmly IN the
soil The second year they grow about
one foot higher, and every succeeding
year they receive an additional upward
growth of three feet or more. ; three
years from the time of planting they will
be at least six feet in height, and in this
climate will attain maximum height of
$50 feet. The idea in planting them SO
u closely together is to make them grow
very tall and prevent them from putting
forth branches near the ground. One
thousand acres are yet to be planted, but
bythe time Mr.. yanderbilts mansion is
ready for occupation the whole mountain
side will be covered with dense woods.
Tho sameness of the timber land will be
relieved by planting many different kinds
of trees at the base of the bills and along
the drives Asheyille q. O. Citizen.

OF the prosecution to prolong the case
as Tar as possible. At one point Mr..
Wm OBrien, who, with Mr.. Dillon, was
to have sailed for the United States next
week. ohaftiDgly reminded Mr. Roman
that his ship was to sail for America on
Thursday next, adding that there ap-
peared to be a race against time between
the Crown counsel and the ship. When
the court adjourned, Mr.. Roman was still
speaking. Upon the adjournment be.

course that is being pursued by the
prosecution. He said it was very evi-

was to protract the trial to the greatest
possible length, and he denounced this
treatment of the case as altogether un.
fair to the men who were being tried.
Ills protest however, seemed to have no
effect upon the court, and the present
policy OF the prosecution will, it is gen.
orally believed, be maintained to the

At 1850 o'clock Saturday night the
worst wreck in that vicinity for twenty
five years occurred about ten miles west
Of GAINESVILLE, 0. Freight train No 25,

GAINESVILLE behind time. East bound
freight No. IS should have been side
tracked at Black Hand. Orders to that
effect was sent out by the train
dispatcher at Newark to the operator at
Black Hand. He was reading novel
and neglected to turn the signal. In
few minutes No. 2S dashed past
at the rate of twenty miles
an hour. The operator too
late realized his terrible mistake. Hur-
riedly he telegraphed to Zansville to
hold No. 2S. But it was too late. Tho
train had already sped onward to its
doom. No earthly power could prevent
the catastrophe. The frantic operator
again took hold Of the key and se,,ss ~is'N !.
to Newark to send out the wreck train,
for too we'll he knew there would be
need of it. Then grabbing his hat,
he rushed out Of the Office and
fled across a corn-feld. He has
not been seen since. The two
trains were now approaching near.
The west-bound passes Pleasant Valley
and the throttle is pulled wider and the
speed increases. Through long curve
and then comes short, sharp curve ono
and half miles west of Pleasant VAL
ley. Just as it made the short curve the
three men in the cab jumped to their
feet and in an instant they were dead.
When the trainmcn first saw each
other they were only forty feet apart.
They had no time to jump. There
was loud crash, followed by low,
deep grinding, and then all was still.
1t was not long before tho people living
in the vicinity began to gather, but they
could do nothing. But the forethought
OF the guilty telegraph operator now
bore fruit The wreck train soon ar
rived and the work of rescuing the dead
and wounded began in earnest. John
Buckingham, engineer; VIM. Firestone,
fireman, and B. Il. Smith, brakeman, all
Of train 23, were found pinned
TO the boiler-head so tightly that
it took several hours to release
them. They were all fright
fully roasted and manglcd. John Kemp,
engineer of train 2S, had his right leg
caught between the tender and engine,
and, being unable to release himself, he
took hold of the leg and wrenched it off
just below the knee He will die. His
fireman, ii. Wilson, had an arm broken
and otherwise injured. Tom McCreary,
brakeman, who was dead-heading it
to Newark on the engine, was in
stantly killed, and, like all the 9TH
ers drcadfully mangled. George
Stoneburner and Glen Bash, two
iron moldcrs of XaneSville, were steal
ing a ride AMI instantly killed, Stonc-
burners remains were gathered up in
pieces and placed in sack. Bash was
not SO badly manglcd, but was nearly
cut in two above the thighs, Two un-
recognizable corpscs were found under
the wreck in the afternoon, and it is fear
ed they are two iron molders of Zanes-
Vile, who are missing, named An5.a
and Harlow.
