Wreck on the Fort Wavne.

WOOSTER, O., Sept 22.-The Chicago
express on the Fort Wayne road crashed
into a freight train at Shreve this
morning and thirteen persons were
killed outright, three seriously injured
and Others slightly hurt

was approaching the station at full
speed at o'clock this morning when
the first section of freight train No. rs,
which had been lying on siding, sud-
denly pulled on to the main track in
front of it, and before either train

car and four were instantly killed and
the fifth fatally injured.

who were engaged in examining the

There was no panic. Fully ten min

she careened. Several employees of the
owners of the old craft were aboard at

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Judge Guthrie Upsets the Civil Rights Act


Judge Guthrie Upsets The Civil Rights Act
of Kansas.
TOPEKA, Kan, Sept 22.-Hotel and
theater managers, railroad companies
and other public purveyors, will no
longer stand in awe of the civil rights
act passed by the legislature of Kansas
in 1874. 1t was declared unconstitu-
tional by Judge Guthrie of the district
court, in the case of the state VS.. De-
Moss & Armstrong, proprietors of the
St Nicholas hotel, this city.
1t was alleged in the information that
the defendants are proprietors of the
St. Nicholas hotel; that on the 4th dav
of August, 1892, j. L. Leonard, a col
ored man, called for his breakfast at
the hotel and demanded that he should
be given a seat in the dining room; that
the defendants offered to furnish him
for his breakfast anything they had in
the house at the lunch counter, which
he refused to accept, and demanded that
he should be permitted to take a seat
with the other guests at table in the
dining room, which was refused.
DeMoss & Armstrong were prosecuted
under an act entitled "An act to pro-
vide for the protection of citizens in
their civil and public rights" approved
February "a, 1874. The act provides
that if the owners or agents in charge
OF any inn, hotel or boarding house, or
any place of entertainment or amuse-
ment shall make any distinction on &C.
count of race, color or previous condi-
ton of servitude, the person so offend
ing shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
manor. ti. ,..'
The court held that the act of the
legislature was unconstitutional for the
reason that the language of the act and
class of persons intended to be protect
ed by the act was broader than the title
of the act.
The title of the act is For the pro-
lection of citizens in their civil and
public rights" The provisions of the
act apply to all persons, and are there
fore broader than the title of the act

POOR YOUNG GIRLS.
They Are Often Too Trusting and Suffer
for IL.


When most pretty girls who are also
poor reach nineteen they become en-,
gagged to some poor young man, and as
he hasn't the money to marry on, they
wait until he has saved it II the Young
man is improvident, the waiting process
is long and tiresome one. While the
young man is having good time, spend
Ing sixty cents out OF each spare dollar
and saving forty cents for his marriage,
the girl is growing little older, a little
more careworn, and wasting her youth
in waiting for man who in most cases
finds some one more attractive and
breaks the engagement.
II girls will look around at girls who
have waited" for such a man, they will
hesitate before entering upon an en-
gagement that promises to be fruitless,
and leaves them worn out and with no
faith in human nature.
Very often a girl who is waiting for
an improvident young man to become
rich is slave to the csprices of man
who finally deserts her. Very often,
under such circumstances, a woman ac-
cuses the world Of faults 1t is not guilty
OF. In a way, men take very good care
OF themselves, for the reason that they
accept the lessons of life, hard though
they sometimes are; but women make
the mistake Of trusting too much, and
suffering for tn. Y. Ledger.
