Love Thai Stood the Test.

Those who Witnessed the solemnizing
Of the nuptials in which Miss Mary E.
Flynn and James A. Polk were made
life partners ut Newport, Del, the other
day, recalled i frightful accident which
befell the couple one dark evening three
years ago. The young lovers were run
into by a fast express on the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore rail
road, and hurled bleeding and uncon-
scious to the ground. The. horse was cut
to pieces and the vehicle wrecked. The
bride elect was hurt more seriously than
the groom, and her life was despaired of.
She recovered somewhat, but is GRIP
pie for life. This frightful calamity did
not cool the ardor of the lovers, and the
anniversary of the accident which near
ly killed both was celebrated by a mar
riage.-Cor. Baltimore American.

why She Stopped the Car.

On Tuesday "a broken trolley wire de-
layed the Western avenue street cars an
hour or more just at dinner time. When
the first west bound car passed Twelfth
street the conductor was awakened from
reverie by a cry from within the car
to stop, while a younger lady was seen
wildly gesticulating, apparently for his
benefit. The car was stopped. The
young woman, out of breath, ran up 10
within a few feet and shouted: MIA,
your dinners on the table in the dining
room. The cars were late and could
not wait" ''Ma" shook her head and
then the younger one turned and re-
sumed her journey cityward. -Minreap-

NEar7 stuckenbprg,s Case.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Dec 9--Martin T.
Coomss, q physician of high standing
here, has made report in the case OF
Mary StUckenborg, the woman on
whose Nerson are exhibited every Fri
day the marks of the crucifxion. He
carefully observed the phenomena. He
cannot account for the appearance of
the marks, but he believes them of
natural origin. He saw the spots in the
woman's hands appear, bleed and dis
appear. Also he observed the marks OF
the cross on her brow, and on her shoul-
der. The investigation will be con.
tinued. Other physicians made obser.
vations. although not SO extended at tbs
time, with Ok. Coomes, and concur in
his report.

Rescued or Lynched.

STAaEE, Fla, Dec. Crank Foster,
who was to have been hanged here on
Thursday, for the murder of w. H.
Epperson, two years ago, was forcibly
taken from the county Jail by party of
unknown men. It was at first believed
that he was the victim Of lynching
party, but as no trace of Fosters body
can be found the opinion is now general
that nc was rescued by friends. Foster
is very desperate character and a great
deal Of uneasinass is felt because the
man had threatened to kill the county
officials who were prominent in securing
his conviction for murder. A posse has
been sent to look for the prisoner.

Death of a Noted Negro woman.

Over the eastern branch Of the Poto-
mac, in Anacosta, better known as Union
town during the war, there was buried
recently woman whose story did much
to stimulate the antislavery sentiment
In the north. She was q revelation of
the possibilities of patient negro ambi-
ton. Born fifty-six years ago, in Prince
George county, Md, she was a little
slave girl of six when her ouner put her
out to service in a Washington family.
At that age she began to hoard money to
buy her freedom. Year after year sis
put by the pennies, for nothing larger
fell to her in tips.
She had collected &i00in coDDers when
the attention Of some Of the public men
of that day was called to her. Hannibal
Hamlin, then in congress bat cfterward
vice president, became especially inter-
ested. He told the story OF EmeEne.
Belt with such pathcs chat $3.50 was cen
tributed by northern people Then 4.
series Of entertainments WAS given to aid
her, and a few years before the war the
girl, grown to womanhood, was able to
hand over to her master 500 and receive
her freedom.-W Washington Cor. ST. Louis
