1t Cured the Disease.

The remedies for the grip are almost
as numerous as the cases Of that dreaded
malady. One WAS tried by William Par
rott, Of Dillsboro. Ills. at the sugges-
tion. Of a well meaning friend. between
whom and the unfortunate Parrot there
is now chilling GOODNESS. The friend
told Parrot that his grip would be
driven from his system in ten hours by a
warm lye bath. Parrott followed his
friends instructions. and the warm lye
caused the patient TO shed his skin like
a snake. and removed his hair and beard.
He is now as bald as a billiard ball. and
his cuticle all over his body is as smooth
as that Of freshly skinned calf But
the grip is gone. e.-Yankee Blade.

The case to be heard in Supreme

tionalIty of the compulsory education
act will be one of most unusual interest.
inasmuch as 1t vitality affects nearly
every home in the State. On the ruling
OF the court of course, will depend the
further enforcement or the notification
of the law.
There are points of no mean moment
to be presented on either hand. The
State will attempt to show that the iu..
risdiction of the commonwealth may
supersede that of the parent in control
OF the child when education is at stake:
whereas the defense will make an an
peal to the constitutional rights and
liberties of a citizen in the control Of
his minor children, claiming that a
mans liberty of citizenship is thus in
fringed upon. Able and voluminous
briefs both pro and con present the
case, which cannot but attract wide at

RESULT OF CARELESSNESS.

Frightful Accident on the Hudson River
Road-Seyen Victims to Brakeman's
Carelessness.
YoNKERs. n. Y, Dec. Con the
Hudson River road yesterday morning
a collision oc .urred i the tunnel at
Sing Sing prison between a freight and
local train This blocked the road
with trains on both sides of the tunnel.
The weather was thick. rendering
difficult the running of trains with any
degree of safety. While the Niagara
Falls special was standing at Hastings
the st. Louis express crashed into the
rear sleeper and several cars, mostly
sleepers, were telescoped
Several persons are reported to have
been killed and many injured. Some
say that the mum Der of killed is eight,
while others calm that ten persons
were either crushed or scaled to death.
The locomotive when it crashed into
the rear sleeper of the leading train
exploded its boiler, and the escaping
steam did deadly work on the poor vic
Tins who were in the wreck
Among the injured taken ont are d.
C. Livingston, a man named Murphy.
Mrs. f. NJ. Ford and her sister and a
man named Ridgeway.
1t was feared that there would be an
other collision by the trains which
were coming from the Grand Central
depot and brakemen were sent back
with red lights to signal the trains
The rear Wagner car of the Niagara
express was telescoped. All the victims
were in that car The injured were re-
moved to the station at Dobbs Ferry.
Seven persons in all were killed, as
follows:
A. NJ. Knight, conductor on the Wag-
ner car at the rear of the Niagara ex-
press
A. NJ. Baldwin, of New York
Thomes w. Tolley, of Boston.
Four persons not yet identified.
The injured are:

Wagner car, badly injured.

ously injured.
Miss Lillian Baldwin. seriously in
jured.
There were eighteen passengers in
the rear coach of the Niagara express.
Only three of them escaped uninjured.
A brakeman was ordered back with
a signal light. lie was told to go at
least 1000 feet The man when he
reached there considered the distance
too short in which to allow the express
for the west time to slow up.
He went along further some 700 feet
up to where n switchman's house stood.
There the brakeman and the switch
man met. 1t was Christmas evening.
There was Il bottle of whisky in the
hut and the men went in. They pledged
their healths and pledged the day and
all unmindful of the charges they
fingered over the bottle. 1t was only
minute or more at most but not more
than a mile awav the train was coming
with the speed of lightning
The half finished drink was thrown
down and the brakeman rushed frantic
ally out, but the train seemed only the
phantom OF death, SO swiftly it passed
him. lie hallooed, but only the sound
of the rushing wind answered him as
the train flew on. Death was riding in
the cab, and the brakeman and his
friend, the switchman, sat down palsied
at the disaster inevitable to which their
carelessness had so larcly contributed.
