A Sad Accident,

UNION CITY, Sept. 15.-News has just
reached this city of sad accident which
occurred at Palestine, small town in
the western part of this county. While
Mrs. Robert MoCorkle was visiting a
near neighber her little S-year-old
daughter fell into forty-foot wen and
was drowned. About an hour after the
accident help was obtained. and Mr..
Gill Nichols ventured down into the
we'll to recover the body. He had but
little trouble in finding it. While the
crowd on the outside began to,draw him
up, and he was within ten feet of the
top, the rope broke, and Mr.. Nichols,
with the dead child in his arms, fell
back into the water. He was finaI y
rescued and found to be seriously hurt.
The absence of Mr.. McCorkle, who is in
Middle Tennessee holding a revival,
makes the accident doubly sad and ex-
tremely pathetic.

a LOYAL PRINCE.

He Loved His Wife Better than PrIncely
Status, and Suffered Ostracism for Thir-
ty-Five Years-Victory Comes at Last.
BUDA PEsTH, Oct 1.-The romance in
the life of Prince Rudolph, of Thurn
and Taxis, is about to terminate in his
restoration to his social and courtly
privileges. In 1857 the prince scandal
lied the best blood of the continent by
marrying secretly Jennie Staendler, an
1s-year-old girl of beautiful face and
figure, but of no family. His family
was furious and tried to have the mar
riage annuled. The prince, however,
was loyal to his bride. He was then
deprived of his hereditary rights and
was ostracized from the society of the
nobility. He lived happily with
his wife and made no eff
fort to regain his lost So
cial position. He reared sew
eral children of great personal
beauty, and with them and his wife he
passed most of his time without inter
est for court or politics. Occasional
efforts to reconcile him with his family
were shattered by his Indifference.
To-day, however, contemporaneously
with the announcement of his daugh-
diplomat it is stated that his family
have relented; that he will be restored
to all his hereditary rights. and that
all his old friends and acquaintances
have raised the social boycott to which
they have subjected him and his family
for thirty-five years.
