At length the insect responds, and from

to receive it and then proceeding leisurely

These aphidcs are of u species distinct
from those or the rose tree, with which the
ants have been in all probability previously
engaged. They differ in shape, color, sizc,
and in the shape and length of the necta-

the receiver show an intuitlve knowledge
of each other, which can only be accounted
for by an ancestry on both sides stretching
back over an immense period, during which
an intimate relationship must have eX-

TRAIN COLLISION /,

BY United Press.

3 JACKSONVILLE, ILL.,, Jan. 5. A
Eterrible collision occurred early this
morning on the Wabash railroad at
aladdin, q small : station east Of
Hannibal. Six men were killed
outri&s two probably fatally injur-
ed ana many others badly hurt. The
yietimssare: A. S. Bonchard, engin-
eer, Killed outright; JAS. Wilson, en-
gineef, Rihed; four italian emigrant
passengers, names unknown, killed
| and crerdated; M. Fl. Warberry,
fireman, Of Springfield, fatally in
|jured; Ed. Conwell, fireman,
not expected to live. The
trains were the east-bound
and west-bound cannon ball trains.
The east-bound train had the right
of way and was waiting at Aladdin
for the other train to take the
siding. The night was foggy and
engineer Bouchard was not very
well acquainted with the run and
fail.d TO stop at the switch but went
rushing by into the station at {
high rate of speed. He was unable
to see anything ahead of him; a.
least this is the supposition. Th'
engines came together with q terri
BILE crash and in an instant al
was confusion. To add t.
the horror of the scene, boil
t trains took fire, consuming tn
baggage and smoking cars and on
c chair car. The remainder Of tn
cars we're detached and saved. Th
body of Bouchard was found pinne
e to the ground under his engine an
e his fireman was fatally injured
5 Charles Wilson, the engineer of tn
= east-bound train, was buried in th
! wreck and his body has not ye
y been found. His fireman was yer
a severely injured but may recover
O Besides the four Italian emigrant
a killed and cremated, several NOR
y were wounded.

THE WHlSKEY FIGHT.
The Conflict Between Prohibition and
Whiskey at Charlotte.

Whiskey at Charlotte.
Special to STATE CHRONICLE.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., Jan. 5. The
whiskey question here promises to
grow more exciting as the week
passes. Yesterday afternoon the
board of aldermen granted license
to all applicants and the county
commissioners to-day met and pro-
ceeded to pass on them as in tie
former meeting in December. The
vote Ill this body stands 2 for and
2 against license, Esquire S. H.
Hilton, the fifth member, being
doubtful, though in all tormer appli-
cations he has voted against the whis'
ky traffic. In the meeting to-day the
application Of Alderman Buchanan
was first taken up. The same old
proceedings of three weeks ago were
again gone through with and when
the vote was taken license was re
fused. At this jucture Mayor Bre
ward stated that few days ag'
Mr.. Hilton had come to him with
out his solicitation saying that b
thought there should be SOM

ton and that he though

Moreover that if q good man would
apply he would vote for him. The
mayor replied that several good men
had done SO, and that all had been
refused. Upon this Mr.. Hilton said:
off Mr.. w. F. Buchanan will apply
l will vote for him." This was done
without solicitation on the part of
the mayor or Mr.. Buchanan. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Buchanan did
not intend to apply until
he was induced to do so
by lHr. Hilton's assurance that he
would get license. Mr.. Hilton
simply states that if he did say this
he men to make condition that
he would SO do provided that M.
Buchanan proved q good moral
character: Excitement. is ,high to
night as the whiskey men claim
that the commissioners will
vote against them, no matte,
whether they come up to the re-
quirements Of the law or not. How
erer,, the other side claims that nc
one who has applied up to this time
has done so. Here the matter rest
and both sides are uneasy, a,
neither can tell what the other viii
| do.

4 Story With a Moral.

Once upon a time two old friends fell
out about some trivial matter and agreed
to settle their difference according to the
"code." Their seconds, knowing that at
heart neither wanted to murder the 9TH
er, arranged that they should be locked
up in a dark room, and at signal from
the outside both should fire at random.
They were good men and had been good
friends and they bitterly repented their
rashness. To avoid even the possibility
of killing each other soon became their
chief desire and with this end in view one
whom we will call Mr.. A. quietly climbed
up the chimney As the time approach
ed Mr.. B. became more and more desir
Gus to avoid manslaugher, and when at
last the signal was given he "hred" up
the chimney and brought Mr.. A. down.

The ship East Croft, discharging at
New York, was the scene Of wild debauch-
cry during the long voyage from Liver
pool to that port. Scarcely night passed
but drunken shrieks could be heard in
the forehold, and the antics of the bacca-
hanalians were source of unceasing dis
turbance. 1t is doubtful if ever ship
carried as fine a lot of rats as the East
Croft. The rodents must have been eat
ing salt horse and exhausted their water
supply soon after leaving, for the ship had
not been out a fortnight before they
preached the casks of wine that formed a
portion of the cargo. This broachiDg
was done in the neatest manner magma
BILE The thieving tipplers did not take
an axe and drive in a burg, Eut they
gnawed holes as large as dollar pieces un-
til the wood was as thin as paper in a
spot not much larger than a pea. Vhro'
this thin bit the wine irickled drop by
drop,and the rats guzzlcd and guzzled by
the hour, or until their holding-on capac-
ity was overcome, and they fell off their
perch They then squeaked until par
italy sober, when they wandered around
aimlessly, and made things unpleasant
The exact amount of damage done by
the drunken rodents has not yet been de-
termined, but one sixty-gallon cask of
claret hoisted out was short twenty-five
gallons, and two rats were found along
side it which were too drunk TO escape,
and were killed with a stick. Sherry,
the sailors say, is the favori'e tipple of
rats, but the East Croft had no sherry in
her cargo, so they had to do the best
they could on claret invoiced at $3.50
per gallon.

The Youno Docor's Opportunity.

DIR. Hugh Blake Williams tells the
Chicago Herald a doleful story OF the ex
perience of a young physician. You
have no idea, my dear boy" he said, of
the difficulties which environ the young
man when he first starts out in the prac-
tice of medicine and surgery. When l
first started out was trying TO do both,
and so considered myself competent to do
either, but somehow the balance of the
community where started, down IN
old Virginia, did not seem TO agree with
me. used all the arts usually employ

ployed to call me out of church in the

out with a rush that would break up a
camp meeting. None of these things
seemed to work worth cent. To add TO
my discontinue, the balance of the doc
tors in town seemed TO have leagued
against me aud to be working against my
interests.
Finally, however, my chance came.
There was a medical convention one day
in The next county, and all the doctors of
my own town except myself went over
to attend it. That afternoon an Irish
man named Rafferty, fell in a sewer and
broke bis leg. was the on y doctor
