AGoLDEN CHIME.
Out on the air of morning,
On the fragrant air of May,
There rings chime OF music,
golden chime today.
And the bells of the chime are many.
And varied in their tone,
As the human hearts emotions
Through the welded cycle flown.
For the the bells are not fashioned of metal
lis the spirit their music hears
And they tell In their ringing the story
VI nifty welded yearsl
One tells of love that is human.
But lasting and pure and true;
And one, OF trust enduring,
That never wavering knew.
One rings out the high note of gladness:
One the minor tone of pain:
For in hearts one follows the other
AS In Nature the sunshine, the rain.
One tells of love unbounded,
For 0therland-'Gem of the Seal"
And one for the land of adoption
"Amerca"-Home of the free!
One tells of long seasons of .toiling:
And one of a harvesting time;
But the grandest bell that is peaiing
In the golden wedding chime.
IT'S the bell oftwo souls devotion
Alike In peace and strife,
To the God who reigns In heaven
Yet lives in each human life.
"All for His greater gloryl"
Oh! never in Joy or tears
Has this anthem ceased resoundng
Through fifty welded years.
Among the many friends present was Miss
b. Foley. who witnessed the marriage of
Mr.. and Mrs. MCGOWAN 80 years ago.
Miss Sadie Hannegan also wrote poem,
commemorative the happy event.

A N.4RROR ESCAPE.

Horse Killed, Wagon Broken, But the
Driver Escapes Without Serious In
jnry.
An accident that came near being at
tended with serious results occurred at
55S o'clock Friday morning lat the main
crossing of the p, w. & B. railroad at
Newport. The safety gates at this cross
ing are worked by the operator in the
signal tower, and his failure to lower
them Friday morning as an extra freight
train was passing south was the cause
of the accident.
Samuel McAllister of Newport, who
drives milk wagon for Joseph II.
Gould of this city, was driving along
the road on his way to Wilmington and
the gates being up he drove upon the
track, not noticing the approaching train
until it was too late to avoid collision.
The engine struck the team squarely
and rushed it down the track for more
than 150 feet, wrecking the vehicle and
killing the horse instantly. Mr.. Meal
lister, however, escaped with only few
bruises, Notwithstanding the frightful
force with which the wagon was carried
down the track and finally hurled to
one side. The horse was terribly man
gled.
The operator whose neglect resulted
in the accident is new employc, hav-
ing been at the Newport tower only
about two weeks.
