NEWS OF THE WEEK.
New York Central Train Wrecked.

A train composed of an engine and
eight vestibuled Wagner sleepers was
thrown from the track at Greenbush,
n. Y, at midnight Thursday by
distractions placed on the track.
The train was late and running at
80 miles an hour. The front of the
engine was raised into the air, the
hrstcar rolled down an embankment
and landed on its side, the second
turned somersault and landed in
ditch bottom side up, the third was
thrown across the ditch like bridge
and the other five were thrown
diagonally across the north-bound
track. With the exception of good
shaking up, none of the 81 passen-
gers were injured. The news of the
wreck was carried to Albany by the
conductor and Max Laclerc, cor
respondent OF a Paris journal, who
walked all the way A relief train
was at once dispatched The three
vestibuled cars which were ditched
sustained no damage beyond broken
windows and scratched paint work.
Each car cost SIT, 900. The none
tary loss appears to be small COM
pared with the value of the rolling
stock which composed the train.
Superintendent Bissell said that
these cars were the finest in the
world in point of strength and dura-
bility, and that it was undoubtedly
owing to this fact that no lives were
lost 1t is estimated that the loss
will not exceed 81 900. Pinkerton
detectives were at once stationed all
along the line between Albany and
Pougkeepsie and each man is re-
sponsible for the portion of track
assigned to him. Vice President
Webb offered $4,000 reward for the
arrest and conviction of the person
or persons who placed the obstruc-
tions on the track. On Sunday John
]. Reed, a brakeman, was arrested
and made confession of the whole
thing, giving the names of his four
accOmplices, all of whom are strikers
The engine and Sc freight cars on
the Richmond and Danville road
crashed through bridge into the
Yadin river, few miles from Sails
bury, S. c., Saturday. The conduc-
tor, uncoupled the caboose when 25
yards from the bridge and saved it.
A brakeman stood on his car during
its leap of 60 feet to the bottom of
the river but rose unhurt and swan
ashore The loss is 100000 and it
is strange that no one was badly
hurt

Vermont Is All Right.

Vermont is finding no end of con-
ISOLATION for the momentary chagrin
caused by the census revelations.
Within a few months she has seen
Vermonters raised to the high offices
of commandments of the Grand
Army of the Republic, surgeon-gene-
raj of the army, and assistant score
tary of war, while Vermonter was
already secretary of war. She has
always a constant source of pride
and JOY in the Hon. George F.
Edmunds; and now she has made
great democratic gains in her cleo
tons The Green Mountain state
may have remained about stationary,
according to the statistics of pop
ulation, for the last ten years while
her sister states were growing, but
she is all right--[New York Sun.

WHAT IS TIT

The Influence That Sometimes
Guides us Against Our VIII.
"No, do not believe in ghosts" said an
old lady of great experience; "but 1 do
believe in the ministration of spirits"
This is not the age, not the country, in
which the supernatural fourishes. Inter
est centers about the practical. Haunted
houses are rented without great difficulty,
if the landlord is willing to knock off a
portion of the rent.
There are many, however, who will ad-
NIT the exertion at times Of some peculiar
influence swsying our actions. We are
led to do things we should not do of our
own volition-the wisdom of which We do
not appreciate until afterwards; then we
wonder how we came to do them. We are
forced to learn that worldly wisdom is not
always that which guides into the wisest
courses.
In this practical age results are what
people are looking after. They believe in
what they see; the ''evidence of things not
SEEM is to be weighed in the future.
When a man is sick he wants to get well;
he cares little what medical method is en-
ployed if it cures. But if it does not cure
he soon begins to doubt the skill of the
physician, and inquire into his methods of
medication. A happy thing it is, some
times, if some influence induces investiga-
ton before it is too late.

ven, Conn, writes, June 80, 1890: Gone
