WRECK ON THE n. & w.

An Engine and Several Cars Completely
Demolished.
A wreck occurred on tho Norfolk and
Western main line about two and one
half miles west of this place at an early
hour this morning. Freight train No.
rs was coming down the mountain In
two sections, and when at bridge No.
252 the first section broke loose, drop
ping four cars, including the cabin car,
at the end of the bridge.
Before the last cars could be again
coupled on the second section came
laundering down the mountain and
crashed into the rear of the loose cars.
The cabin car was totally demolished
and fired and the three freight cars
badly wrecked. The engine was COM
pletely dismantled back to the cab.
Another story as to the cause of the
wreck says that the trains had orders
to slow down to a speed of four miles
per hour in crossing bridge 252, which
Is being rebuilt The first section
obeyed orders and was running at a
very slow speed, when the rear section,
running at very high speed, crashed
into them. This theory, however, is
discredited among railroad men, as
they say II such had been the case the
damage would necessarily have been
much greater.
The, wreck train from this city was
quickly on hand, and by 10 o'clock to
day the track was again clear and in
order.

ing, when the whole company are to re-

THANKSGIVING IN ADVERSELY
by o +. FLIPPo.


There are some souls TO whom this day
Suggests no grateful song OF praise;
Waters OF Marah I'LL their cup,
And memory dwclls on mournful DAYS
The year has brought them naught but gloom
Trouble and loss, with grief and tears
Have crowded all the months agonc,
And I'LL this hour with darkest fears.
How Can they sing the grateful song,
When h"nrt IL sad and hone IL dead?
When all that gladdened life is gone
LII &c metcors from the sky have sped:
So asks the troubled soul to-day,
When all is hung in hopeless gloom,
And furnace fires wax fierce and hot,
And lifc's fond hopes the past entOmb.
DC still poor heart-'tis we'll with thee;
Thy chastcnings prove His constant love,
And weary honrs of pain and woe
Are bencdictions from above.
Then praise the Lord for furnace fires
That purge thy drosa ard cleanse thy heart;
Perfect through suffering" is His word,
And trials prove "that better part"
Thy cup OF sorrow comes from God,
Accept and drink with grateful song,
A Ill hlcss the hand that smites In love,
And Join In praise the happy throng,
VINO on this day thankagivings pour
10 Him whose mercies crown our days;
And trust Him mid LIES darkest hour
And turn thy deepest griefs to praise.

TILE NoRFOLK CoNvENTIoN.

The success OF the Worlds Fair con-
vention at Norfolk means much for Vir-
ginia. 1t is evident that there is a
strong sentiment in favor of an appro-
priation by the incoming legislature to
aid in preparing Virginia's representa-
ton at the big show in Chicago.
A Columbian Exposition, celebra-
ton Of the anniversary of the discovery
of America with Virginia left out, would
be like playing Hamlet with Hamlet
quietly reposing behind the scenes.
The sagacious men Of tho State see
the Importance of having Virginia's re-
sources fully exhibited at the great
fair, and the action taken at Norfolk
yesterday should meet with the hearty
endorsement and cooperation of the en-
tire State.
With the State debt out of the way,
Virginia will ente- upon new era of
progress, and it would be folly to neg
iect the great opportunity that will be
offered OF Chicago.
II the proper pressure of public senti-
rnent Is brought to bear upon the legis
lature the appropriation recommended
by the Norfolk Convention will be
made. With this aid from the State,
the cooperation on the part of the
counties, towns and cities, that should
be easily secured, would assure an ex-
hibit hat would not only make every
Virginian proud Of his State, but also
put dimes and dollars into the pockets
every inhabitant.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Another Thanksgiving Day haa come.
To-day thousands of the American peo-
pie will assemble in their accustomed
places of worship, and return to the
substantial feast that is one of the
characteristics of the day.
No other people on earth have more
to be thankful for than Americans.
They are the best fed, the best clothed
in short. surrounded by more of the
comforts and conveniences of modern
times than any other people ON the
globe.
While the year just past has been one
of comparative depression in business
circles, the stability of American
finances has been demonstrated by the
severe strain of the money stringency.
Bountitul crops have rewarded the
1abors Of the husbandman. While fam
inc stalks in other lands. Americas
people to-day sit down to beautifully
supplied tables. The festive turkey
will reign supreme in thousands OF
households, and amid family reunions
business cares will be forgotten, and
happiness added to other blessings.
The day is, year after year, moro gen.
orally observed all over the country,
and it is no longer q New England Gus.
tom, but in reality national holiday
with all the beautiful old characteristics
of she original New England Thanks
giving Day.
