TWO RUNAWAY TRAINS.

They Cause the Loss of Several Lives and
Destruction of Several Cars.
Three men were killed and three seri
ously injured by the running wild of a
stone train in the vicinity of Lyons, COL,
on the morning of the 22d. When En-
gineer Norton found he could not con-
troll his engine he jumped and was skilled.
Both brakemen jumped, one being
almost instantly killed, and the other
sustaining injuries from which he cannot
recover. The train continued on its
wild career until the dump was
reached, when all the cars went over,
and piled up in promiscuous mass of
ruins. The names of the killed were:
E. Norton, engineer; Ferguson, car-re-
pairer; w. Gurken, car-repairer. In
jured: James Considine, conductor; J.
B. Strayer, brakeman; James Miller,
fireman.

NIT, Cal, crashed into another freight
train at Cascade and twenty cars were
piled up in wreck. Conductor Kings

and brakemen Beaver and Levir of the
other train were killed and one or two
others were badly hurt

Another Mystery in the Ziese Stabbing
Affair at Minneapolis.

M1NNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Aug. 25.-The
Ziese stabbing ARRAY is as much mys-
terry as ever, though it is now certain
Ziese was not killed. The police
traced him yesterday to house
in Riverside Avenue, where he
formerly boarded. Here he had been
attended by physician, and the cash in
his throat sewed up When he saw the
police coming he broke through the
back door and escaped. He is now
thought to be in st. Paul. His
wounds were quite dangerous. The
woman of the house says Ziese told
her story about being cut in a barber
shop and running from the police for
fear of arrest. His conduct appears to
be very mysterious. Marshall and
O'Brien have been held to the grand jury
and are in jail, but unless Ziese appears
to prosecute they will have to be set
free

Volcano in Alaska in Constant State OF
EruptiOn-Light for Mariners.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 25.-Passengers
on the steamer Arago confirm the re-
port that Mount Bogosloy, Alaska, is in
state of eruption. The steamer left
Ounalaska July 3, and at that time large
volumns of steam and smoke could be
seen issuing from the volcano,
while at night a pillar Of
fire thousands of feet in height was dis
cernible for miles. Bogosloy has been
in a state of active eruption ever since.
The sight is grand one, and mariners
hope the activity will continue, as it
serves as a lighthouse in guiding vessels
through Ounamak Pass. Steam and
smoke have been seen to issue from the
center, and fire lava was daily expected
% be seen issuing from the mouth.

A French Girls Predicsment.

A comical coniretemps has just
taken place 10 one of the provincial
towns of France. Over twenty years
ago The wife of a prominent citizen
gave birth to a il tie girl who was
christened Camille, and whose birth,
according to French law, was duly
registered at the mayors office. But
as Camille is a name that il given to
hoys as vel as to girls in France,
the N .yor made a mistake in enter
ing the registration and set down The
infant as being a boy, Time passeh
on and the other day Mile. Camille
who was on the point of being mar
ried re lived rotice to report him
self for military service. Owing to
the overwhelming red tapeism of
French official matters, the ppor girl
has had all the trouble in the world to
prove that she is really young woman
and not a man at all. Moral Mo h.
ers 10 France should never bestow
upon their daughters names that are
masculine as well as feminine Paris

smiiax at wedding or Receptions.

N4li
Smi,ax is not now called into re-
QUESTION by first class florists at either
wedding or reception. They will use
cut flowers as much as possible. Fash
ionable people have a great liking for
cut flowers. They can get better
re ults by using them than in any other
way. A great bunch of cut flowers
in an urn or a vase or a cut gla So
bowl is much more effective than the
made up piece. 1t is more elegant.
Ferns are now a substitute for smilax,
and ferns and cut flowers make a
lovely combination. In funeral de-
signs ivy leaves and wheat are now
given the preference in place of flow
ers. Ivy is symbolicsl of time and
wheat of age There are few designs
exhibited at funerals except in the
country where tue fashion holds ON
with a stronger grip Roses and
hysciDths in large punches are also
used at funerals in this city. They
are considered to be ''real swell. :"
Vivid contrasts are made in the use of
ribbons. A bunch of pink roses will
ne tied with black ribbon and q
bunch of white roses with a lavender
colnIed ribbon. The interior decJra-
ton of the coffin is alb lished alto
gether. 1t is a year since the fashion
changed. When wedding engage.
men,s are announced it is now custom
AIRY for friends of the prospective
bride to send punches of hJwers tied
with a ribbon of the same color.
Handle baskets and vases of flowers
are also fashionable in this connection.
