Strange and Deadly Accident.

A terrible accident occurred Tues
day afternoon at the quarry OF the
Lake Champlain granite company at
Westport, n. Y, which resulted in
the death of four persons and the in
Jury of two others. A new gravity
road for the transportation OF stone
from the quarry was being tested for
the first time=Mitrr ~ loaded car. The
road is on a steep incline and the
ears are drawn by cables, the speed
being regulated by a bra Ike at the
drum. The cars are attached to the
cable and the loaded one in its de-
scent draws up the empty one to "a
platform at the top of the incline,
from which it is switched into the
quarry. For some reason the brakes
failed to hold the loaded car in it's
descent, and it went down the incline
at terrific speed while the empty car
was drawn up to the top of the in
cline with fright4ll velocity. Near
the switch, at the top, stood Super
intendent Robertson, his two sons,
and a group of workmen, watching
the progress of the descending car.
So swift was the speed OF the ascend
ing car that there was no time to get
out of the way 1t came up with
such momentum that it was hurled
straight over the head of the super
intendent and was dashed to pieces
against a tree. The flying fragments
carried death into the midst of thu
little group of spectators. Fou1
were killed outright, two of the deaC
being sons of the superintendent
Two Others were badly hurt.

the wife who earnestly desires to eX-
tract from married life for both her

ness which it is capable of yielding
should urgently, diligently seek to
understand her husband-to be thor
oughly familiar with the cast of his
mind, the bent of his inclinations,
his wishes, tastes and feelings. She
should apply herself to the study Of
tehse things with as much earnest
ness and assiduity as she ever de
voted to the mastery of a difficult
musical composition, an intricate
problem in mathematics, or per
picking piece of fancy needlework
Having learned her husbands needs

We have inserted in this issue the
advertisement of the Boston Orange
Growers Company, NJ. D. Brooks,
General Agent, "a School Street,
Boston, offering to investors stock
of the company, on which SIX per
cent. annual dividends will be paid,
for six years, by the American Loan
and Trust Company of Boston, a
company who by its large capital is
able to fulfill all it's promises. By
the growth of the trees and the in
crease of the product of fruit, the
property will about double in value
during the six years, and the value
of the stock correspondingly increase
and a continuance of large dividends
for long term of years may be ex-
pected, as orange-trees with proper
care are ong-lived.
When railroad and other securities
are fuctuating and depreciatfng, az
has been the case in the past year, Is
it not wise to look into the merits o.
a security which seems so safe ano
promises so well as does the stock
offered by this company?
