COURAG SAVED HER LIFE.

A Young Woman Hangs Beneath a
Trestle as a Train ThundersPast.
Clinging for her life to a rough beam
while flying express train thundered
and sWayed above her head. Swing
ing in midair with death above and
below her until almost exhausted by
the fatigue that came of the terrible
strain upon her, physically and men
tally.
This was the dire predicament in
which Miss Norma Onken, of Ridsway
avenue, Avondale was placed one az
ternoon, and it was only due to her
cool Judgment and calm presence OF
mind that she did not meet with a
shocking death. In attempting to
cross a railroad trestle which spans
the rocky bed of Bloody Run, little
bed north of Avondale, she was run
down by an express train, the engin-
eer of which was endeavoring to make
up for lost time by running at full
speed. To prevent being hurled from
the trestle she was compelled to let
herself down on the outside Of the
track and hang on until she was
rescued.
With Mr.. Richard Hall, of Walnut
Hills, and Miss Mamie Fisher, of
Avondale, she started out for walk.
They went along the Cincinnati and
Lebanon and Northern Narrow Gauge
railroad toward Lebanon, and as
they reached the trestle Mr.. Hall and
Miss Fisher held back, fearing to meet
a train. Miss Onken, though know
ing it to be near train time, thought
to cross the trestle before the train
could come. .....
She was about half way over when
the Montgomery accommodate due
in Cincinnati at 1886, whistled. She
looked up and was Mortified to see the
train driving toward her with great
speed. It was train No. IL, of which
Ed. F. Doherty is conductor and Lee
Barnard trainman, and it was trav-
cling between thirty-fve and forty
miles an hour. When Miss Onken saw
the train coming toward her she dis
played a wonderful presence of mind
by throwing herself over the side of
the trestle and there clinging to the
timber. .-.
The engineer, George Collins, seeing
the gentleman and lady at the other end
of the trestle, reversed the engine and
stopped as soon as possible; but it
was not until he had passed Miss
Onken some distance. Running back
on the trestle Doherty and Barnard
each took one of Miss Onken's hands
pulled her up on the track. Her face
was black and blue, and she was more
dead than alive. She was exhausted
and could have held on but a very
short time longer.
Without help just at that time she
would have fallen into the creek twen-
ty feet or more below her.
After resting a few moments she was
able to resume her walk, none the
worse for her narrowing experience.
The spot where the scene occurred ia
notedfo accidents. On the 4th of July
last an old colored woman was thrown
from the trestle and dreadfully in
jured. breaking two Of her limbs and
fraeturing her skull. A few weeks ago
there was q collision at this point, and

A Glorious River

The St. Lawrence is a phenomena.
among rivers. No other river is fed by
such gigantic lakes. No other river is
so independent Of the elements. tides
pises alike rain, snow and sunshine.
Ice and wind may be said to be the
only things that affect it's mighty flow.
Something almost as phenomenal as
the ST. Lawrence itself is thefact that
there is SO httlegenerally known about
it. It might be safely affirmed that
not Que per cent of the American public
are aware of the fact that among all
the great rivers of the world, the St.
Lawrence is the only absolutely flood
less one. Such, however is the case.
The st. LaWrance despises rain and
sunshine. Its greatest variation
caused by drought or rain hardly ever
exceeds a foot or fourteen inches The
cause of this almost everlasting same
ness of volume is easily understood.
The ST. Lawrence is fed BY the might
lest bodies Of fresh water on earth.
Immense as is the volume Of water it
pours into the ocean, any one who has
traversed all the immense lakes that
feed it, and for the surplus waters OF
which it is the only channel to thesea,
wonders that it is not even more q
gantic tnan it is. Not one drop of the
waters of the five great lakes finds It's
way to the ocean save through this
gigantic, extraordinary and wond-
rously beautiful river. No wonder,
then, that it should despise the rain
and defy the sunshine o. Russalin

Prevention.

Is better than cure and people who are subject
to rheum Ia tism, can prevent attacks by keeping
the blood pure and free from the acid which
causes the disease. This suggests the use OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla. unquestionably the best
blood purifier, and which has been used with great
success for this very purpose by many people.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has also cured innumer-
able cases OF rheumatism OF the severest sort, by
its powerful effect in neutralizng acidity of the
blood, and in enabling the kidneys and liver to
properly remove the waste of the system. Try it,

"A Fact.

From an interview, N Y. World.
In an interview with a leading drug house
the n. Y. World, Nov. 9, 1880, gives the
following comment on the proprietors OF
reliable patent medicines:
HE IS aspecialist, andshould know more
OF the disease he actually treats than the or
binary physician; for while the latter may
come across say fifty cases in year of the
particular disease which his medicine COM
bats, its manufacturer investigates thou

which you buy ready made up for so cents,
IS n!kely to do more good than that of the
ordinary physician, who charges you any
where from 81 to $40 for giving it, and
leaves you to pay the cost of having it pre-
The patent medicine man, too, usually
has the good sense to confne himself to or
binary, Everyday diseases. He leaves
to the physician cases in which
there is immediate danger to life,
such as violent fevers. He does this
because, in the treatment of such cases,
lnere are other elements of importance be-
SIDES medicine, such as proper diet, good
nursing, a knowledge of the patients

solute danger to life, where the disease is
one winch some physician has already de-
term1ned, the patent medicine maker says
lear ieaIlessly: have preparation which is

ment is true.'
This is absolutely true asregards the great
remedy for pain, st. Jacobs Oil. 1t can as
sert without fear of contradiction, that it is a
prompt and permanent cure of pain It
can show proofs of cures of chronic cases of
70, 80 and 40 years standing: In truth it
rarely ever fails if used according to direc-
lions, and large proportion Of cures is

They Will Blow Your Horn for You

Every one in the South interested
in or knowing Of the proposed start
ing of any new manufacturing or

small, or of the extensions of factories
or mines, now in operation, or the

benefit himself, as well as the South

4 business of reporting every new
manufacturing concern, from a cotton
gin to "A furnace, every new mining
company, and every bank started

nation is read by thousands of peo-
pie all over the United States, and is
often republished by hundreds of
other papers that look to the Manu-
facturers' Record for information
about this section. The result is that
every new enterprise, and the town
IN which it is located, are widely adj
vertised without cost, and great good
often results. In this way the wants
Of Southern manufacturers who wish
to buy machinery are made public,
and catalogues of all machinery in
their line, with prices, etc, are re-
Ceived, and they are thus enabled to
select the best machinery at the low
est cost. The Manufacturers Record
invites all information of this charac-
ter, and everybody in the South
should take an interest in seeing that
that journal receives the earliest
notices that can possibly be given Of
such new enterprises, or of the en-
largement of those now in operation.
