Richmond, Ind. Feb. ,25. A ter
rlble accident occurred on the Rich
mcnd division OF the Pan Handle

sons we're instantly killed and one
MORALLY wounded, and who has
since died, two seriously, possibly
fatally. and large number more or
less injured. Ii was the fast train
between Chicag, and Cincinnati,
which was coming down steep
grade into the town, when the frame
work OF the engine broke and de.
rallied every car. However, they
passed the station and came TO the
canal bridge, where there is fifteen
foot fall, before the fatality occurred,
and whtre it came near rowing
even more terrible, ms the cars
caught fire; but the fire was quick
ly extinguished.
The smoker first turned on its
side, and the day coach and parlor
car "Eugenia," the smoking com
plr,ment Of which contained all the
killed, breaking away from the
smoking car. but holding on togeih-
er, rolled over twice IN their descent
Of the embankment. Meanwhile
the dersiled baggage car had hung
to the engine and away beoynd the
other cars struck guard at the road
crossing, agOin mounted the track
and escaped almost uninjured; but
tee engine, though holding the rail;
was about as badly wrecked as the
parlor car and da coach.

Many new varieties, however, that
have sho c Tor awhile as bright as
the MONDAY sun in the armament,
have finally gone down behind a
c'ous Of oblivion. Notwithstanding
the great yigor and. energy that have
been displayed in originating and
introducing new varieties TO the
public, there have been none yet
sent out that are superior for gener-
al cultivation TO the old Concord.
1t is enc of the oldest reliable Amer
can grapes, and snearly all OF the
most valuable varieties that have
to light since lts origin are its de-
scendants. Had you asked quar-
ter Of a century ago some we'll in
formed grape-grower, who was not
interested in pushing to the front
soma new favorte, what grape he
deemed the most valuable for gener-
al cultivation, you would have been
told "The Concord" Ask the same
question Of a similar person to-day,
and you will receive for answer "The
Concord.
Next to il, for general cultivation
stands the Ives Seeding, followed
by the Norton's Virginia. No one
would dare say that these three var
ieties are superior in quality, for
such is not the case; but, IN the 9TH
err hand, they are inferior in point
OF flavor TO many other varieties;
but the simple fact is they are good
enough, and we can have them in
abundance, when other varieties,
under the same treatment, would
utterly fail.
