royal palace Of Roth Cruachan to battle
in the fountain. The maidens WON
dered at the sight of the venerable
stranger surrounded by his monks, and
they questioned him eagerly as to who
he was and whence lie am and what
king lie served.
When Patrick had told them of the
lofty message he bore, the grace of God
touched tho hearts OF the maidens, so
that they believed and were baptized in
the waters Of the fountain, which st..
Patrick had blessed for tho purpose.
Immediately on coming out of tho
water they prayed that they might be
united with God, Patrick's king, and
be with him forever. Almost instantly
the blush Of health left their cheeks
and they calmly sank to sleep in death.
Their bodies were laid side by side in

4 uILmIYGr0NIIN's ESCAPE.
While Travelling In the West He Has a
ThriIIing EXnnrience.

Gus Schafer Of this city writes The
GAZETTE from Marysyille, Cal, detail
ing the incidents of an accident to a
train on which be was u passenger and
his narrow escape from death. While
riding across the Majovc desert, GO
miles from Albuquerque, New Mexico,
III miles from Maiove, to which point
the railroad company hauls water 81
miles for the locomotive, the last sleeper
jumped the races and plunged down a
steep bank. There were AS passengers
aboard the car, rs Of whom We're
women and eight children. When the
car jumped the track the burning lamps
poured their flaming contents into the
car, which was instantly like u seething
furnace. The passengers beat hasty re-
treat being able to save only what they
had on their backs As the passengers
were in bed when the accident occurred
they We're barely able to save their lives
and did not stop to regain pos
session of their personal effects, 1t
was necessary for the passengers
10 quit the car through the windows and
in the rescue many We're burned, cut
and bruised. The curtains of the next
sleeper forward were used with the bed
material from the berths in making q
covering for the unfortunate passengers
until store was reached at Maiove
where each was supplied with some
coarse garment which served for the
remainder Of the trip. The party in
aggregate lost besides the clothing about
Is watches and chains and a very large
amount d money. Mr., Schafer writes
he lost his shoes, hat and grip, but later
recovered the grip,a young woman pick
ing it up thinking il was her brothers,
which contained several hundred dollars
in money and much iewclry. Mr.Schafer
escaped withouta scratch but his fight to
get ont Of the car before the flames
reached him must have been very excit-
