ONE THING Is NEEDrUL.

A Young believer had lost his joy in the
Lord, and had fallen into consequent des-
pondency. As he sat in the house, in the
depth of sorrow, his anxious mother said to
him. my dear boy, you seem bowed
down with care you:look as if the whole
world were resting upon you, and you had
to bear up the universe" His answe: struck
me as well worthy of remembrance.
Mother" said he, ''if had to carry the
whole world could do 1t more easily with
God than / can bear my life without Him."
Il is even 80. When the Lord is with US,
nothing is beyond our power; but when Hi.
presence is withdrawn not only is the grass
hopper burden. but we are burden to
ourselves, and we grow weary Of living,
whatever temporal comforts we may possess.
You may light as many candles ns you please,
but there is no day till the sun rises; and 80
with all the consultations we can muster. our
soul is still In the dark till the Lord shines
upon us in grace.-(Rev. c. H. Sprrgeon.

was profuse in his. praise of his team, and
especially Of one Of the horses, interlarding
bis praises with oaths; You have omitted i,s q

said the driver. "Wbst Is that2 have
studied that horse over and over. and did

at the doctor In surprise, and there was that
samc demure look, with stwinkle in bis eye.

preach total abstinence by word and exam

to send its sweet influence into the hearts OF
your loved ones. When your boys are
pledged at their first communion, watch
over their pledge very carefully, especially

FATAL COLLAPSE.
A Bridge Gives Way and the Work
men Fall Sixty Feet.

An appalling accident occurred to gang
Of workmen who werS doing some construc-
ton work on the line OF the Great Northern
Railroad in Washington, resulting In the,
death Of seven of the men, the fatal injury
Of five more, and the serious injury OF six
others. n
The men were employed by Shepard, Sims,
& Co., and had finished the track to tho
Wenatchee River. They then started tolay
rails across the stream. The east approach
and the first span were crossed safely.
when the middle OF the second span was
reached the false work under the bridge
collapsed, and the track machine, to-
gether with two car loads OF ties and
timber and several cars loaded with,
below. The workmen were thrown in
every direction, and some Of them were
buried under ties and rails. The water In
the river was about three feet deep aud ran
through solid rock channel. Conductor
John Leonard, OF St. Paul, was standing at
the end Of his train when the accident oc-
Cured. HIS body was afterward found
with heavy rail lying across his head and
another across his feet holding him under
water.
The accident was due to the undermining
Of the false work of the bridge by the water.
That part OF thu road on which 1t occurred
is still under the control OF the contractors
and has not yet been accepted by the rail-
road company. -
No intination of the catastrophe was given
to the unfortunate men. ALI were busy with
their respective duties when the bridge
shook, tottered and finally collapsed
entirely, dashing them against the solid
rock below. Six fat oars and an engine
were on the the bridge at tho time.
The engine was unooupled, lucdly for some
OF the injured, because the horror OF
roasting to death would have besn added to
the distressing accident. The temporary
structure was supported by piles driven In
the gravel, and In such way that eaoh
span depended on the other. hsnce both
? spans are now a mass OF broksu timber as
the bottom of the gully

evidence in his defense, nor did they
make an argument, for they knew
it would be useless.
This morning when court convened
Hon. Miguel Salazar made a long
and able argument, alleging insanity
and that some of the instructions to
The jury were prejudicial to the pris-
oner. This was replied to by Hon.
L @ Fort, district attorney, in behalf
of the territory. After hearing both
arguments, Judge O'Brien overruled
the motion for new trial.
Faulkner, when asked by Judge
.O'Brien if he had anything to say,
arose and made a good long speech,
denying his guilt and charging that
if sentenced to hang and hung, the
one who passed sentence and the one
who executed it would be more
guilty of murder than he was charged
to be.
Judge O'Brien then reviewed the
case, the finding of the jury, etc.,
and sentenced the prisoner to be
hung on Friday, the Sd day of June,
between the hours of 0 a. m. and
p. m. in the court yard of the county
Jail here, and if an appeal was taken

and the case affirmed, then the SEN

court, which sits in July.
The prisoner, who has made many
threats that he would cheat justice
and get away and have his revenge
on the witnesses, attorney and judge,
was watched very closely and guard
ed carefully by Sheriff Lopez, who is
taking every prccaution to prevent
any attempt at an escape.

The full particulars of the shoot
ing of the Hot Springs the other day,
which we were unable to get at the
time, are as follows: Alex Stenger
had room at the Club house aud,
after going to his room, Mr.. Nelson
heard two shots fired by him. He
went out and called Mr.. McDougall
to go up with him, as he was afraid
Stenger had committed suicide.
When they knocked at the door
Stenger came and opened it with his
revolver in his hand and when he
saw Mr.. Nelson drew it on him.
Mr.. McDougall grabbed it and threw
it down toward the floor, getting his
finger under the hammer, which
Sterger pulled twice while the tussle
was going on, and finally succeeded
in discharging it, the ball lodging in
McDougal's foot. The wound is
not serious and Mr.. McDougall is
along nicely. No arrests
have been made, as the party who
did the shooting was little out of
his mind at the time.
