a Wonderful Picture.

Directly otter the great Johnstown
food, some time during June, at any
rate, D. S. Wingrovc, superintendent of
the marble yard at the penitcntiary at
Baltimore, found slab Of marble with
lines and veins which made a perfect
picture Of the fatad city Of Johnstown
and the surrounding country. The
sky is plainly marked, as are also the
hills and mountains surrounding the
town. Piles upon piles of ruins are
marked, with an occasional steeple or
toppling wall overhanging the scene Of
awful destruction. Taken all in all, the
scientists consider it one of the most
wonderful natural formations ever found
in America.-St. Louis Republic.

Two Distinguished BROTHERS.

Two wise looking young men met in
the billiard room Of the Chatham hotel
in Paris the other evening. Both wanted
to play a game. but they did not know
each other. The elder, Ir. Combe Ten

me ina game of billiards, sir? My name
is Tennant-Tm the brother of the lady
who married Mr. Henry NJ. Stanley"
"Thank you, Mr. Tenant" answered
the other; II shall be most happy to
join you. My name is Chanler-r1n the
brother Of tie gentleman who married

The trial of Judge Sachs, so far has
developed nothing but the fact that he
liked to play the game of faro. This is
net in itself crime, but it indicates
that the judge had deuced poor judg-
ment. If all the lovers of the game
however were deharred from holding
public office, the state of Washington
would have to import most of its judi
cial officers.

Church Ventilation,

We wish somebody would give us
few practical views as to tho ventilation
of churches. BY the timo a religious
service on Sunday is half through the
church often becomes so hot the air so
impure and the hearers so sleepy that
little good is done by the sermon. We
wish architects were half rs solicitous
about ventilation as they are about the
turn of an arch or the groove Of a pillar.

Senator George Hearst, of California,
died saturday. He was born in Miss
ouri Sept. 5, $50, and came to the
coast in 1850. The writer was intima-
tely acquainted with him having: been
in his employ, and connected with him
in mining ventures for number of
years. He was large hearted gener-
Gus man, of fine intellectual attain
ments, and though but taking little
part in the debates of the senate was
s.bundantly able to meet any member
of the snate in debate had he chosen to
do 80. The miners of the coast have
lost in him their best friend.

The democracy took possession of
the lower house of congress Wednes-
day, and as they have an overwhel-
ming majority, it is not likely that the
disgraceful scenes of the past year will
be re-enacted. President Harrison
reached the halfway post of his admin
istration the same day, and in a little
more than a year another contest for
party national supremacy will have
begun. We venture the prediction
that the present house of congress will
elect the next president, who will of
course in that ease be n democrat.

That the residents of this school dis
trict hove not done their duty by the

only have the school officers neglected
10 visit the school, but its patrons have
likewise neglected it. We believe it

DeSpondency Over Money Matters
Leads to Suicide.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.-Charles FL.
Hinton, clerk in the law department of
the Southern Pacific Railroad COMPANY.
committed suicide by hanging at an early
hour this morning, at his residence, CAT
Folsom street.
Hinton for some time has been troubled
over money matters, most particularly
regarding promissory note for which he
was responsible. Lately this matter was
settled, but Hinton, instead of recover
ing his usual cheerfulness. remained
moody and respondent. Prior to the
settlement of the matter Hinton threat
ened to commit suicide, but his friends
believed he would no longer think of do
ing so after his troubles had passed of.
At 6:25 this morning his brother Guv
went out IN the back yard, and by the

he saw man crouched down by the cate

tied one end of the rope TO some lattice
work that surmounted the gate. The
other end he madeinto slipnoose, which
he placed around his neck. He then
crouched down, bringing the full weight
OF his body on the sliplpose, and as he
was very heavy man strangulation took
place IN comparatively short time.
There were no evidences that after he had
attached the rope to his neck he had

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
A North-Bound Flyer Wrecked il
New York.

NEwBURG (N. ", Dec. 15.-The north
bound flyer on the Central Railroad col
lided with a switch engine opposite the
station here this evening, and both trains
were wrecked. The fireman of the ex-
press was killed and Engineer James
Kelly fatally hurt. No passengers were
killed, but several received slight in
juries. The blame for the accident is laiu
on Engineer Kelly of the express. who is
said to have run by the danger signal.
A freight train had broken down near
Fishkill. Danger lights were put up,
and a switch engine sent out to tow it out
OF the way. 1t was this engine that
the express collided with. When crossing
the main track the engineer of the linn
tied, Kelley, says he saw red lights, but
thought they were on the New England
road. When he perceived his mistake it
was too late to stop.
When the trains met the tender of the
limited engine was forced into the COM
bination car, which then mounted the
coal car and the freight train.
Two men in the baggage compartment
OF the combination car miraculousIy es-
capped. In the buffet car the people were
pitched in all directions, and nearly every
bit of crockery in the car broken. The
passengers were painfully bruised and
cut,
