Only Dog.


 He was Q bright looking little chap and he walked along Penn avenue lead ing a hungry looking dog by string He seemed undecided where to go oa what to do with the cur.
 Occasionally he would stop as if to think for awhile, cast rather depress- ing glance at the animal. pat him little and start off aimlessly again.
 He finally observed a woman of kindly face, well dressed and who looked as if she might take an interest in almost any kind of dog. He stood and waited for her, and when she came up his face brightened, and he asked appealingly: "Missus, don't yer want ter buy fine dogg''
 "Poor doggyr' and she stopped and patted him.
 How much do you want for him, lit tie boyT'
 "Only n quarter, ma'am. He's a fine dog, he is. Why, yer can teach him any, thing if yer know how. He's a good watchdog, too, and he don't eat much" The woman came to the conclusion that the last statement was true, but she still hesitated about making the purchase. What kind of a dog is itf" she asked hesitatinely.
 He's half bull. You just ought to sAe him chase catsT'
 Well, what's the other half"
 The little fellow pondered for awhile and seemed very much perplexed as hc sized the animal up and thought. Finally his face lit up as he had solved the prob lem, and he answered.:
 Why, just dog"
 He's still trying to sell the animal, and any one who wants dog might get him for much less than n quarter.-Pittsburg Dispatch

Buy Baptist Church For Him.
 NEW BRUNSWICK. N. J., Sept. 23.-The Princeton presbytery of the Cumberland church recently purchased the church edi- flee of the Remsen Avenue Baptist church in New Brunswick. The ostensible object of the move was the founding of church of the Cumberland faith in New Bruns- wick Reliable information now shows that the main purpose of the move was to place the Rev. Dr. Briggs, who has been reduced from preaching in the regular Presbyterian pulpits, in charge.
 It has been understood for some time that some of the leading lights in the Cum berland Presbyterian church are leaning toward BrigGsism, and it is evident from certain articles in their denominational pa per that ovcrtures have been made by the denomination to Professor Briggs to come, with all his followers, into the Cumber- land Presbyterian church.
 Some of the young ministers of the Cum berland church who belong to the recently organized Princeton presbytcry of the Cumberland church are students in the Union seminary of New York, in which in stitution Professor Briggs has long taught. They are in favor of receiving Dr. Briggs, and it is thought that when the Remsen Avenue church is made over to the denomi- nation this winter the pulpit will be sup piled regularly by the Rev. Dr. Briggs.

EIGHTY REPORTED LOST.
A Story of the Sinking of a HaytIan War
 hhiu.

ship.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 23-A report of the sinking of the Haytian warship Alexander Petion was received in this city. All on board, with one exception, were said to have been lost. All told, so were drowned. Among the number were many prominent officials and diplomats of the republic The cause of the disaster is unknown.
 The news of the catastrophe was brought to this city by cx-Minister to Hayti J. S Durham, who arrived on the steamer Prns Willem l from Port au Prince The dis Rster to the Petion occurred on Sept 6 about 5O miles south from Cape Tiberot.
 The cruiser had just been put into com mission. She left Port au Prince Sept. |, bound for san Domingo. She had on board many distinguished passengers, among them being General Moline. San Domingo's s envoy to Hayti; NJ. Cohen, the Haytian minister Go Mexico, and other well known diplomats.
 The suddenness and completeness of the disaster, only one sailor escaping, makes the affair most mysterious, and it is proba- ble that the real cause of the wrecking of the noble ship will never be known. Ac- cording to the testimony of the sole sur vivor, there was absolutely no warning. Neither collision with another vessel, sub merged coral reef nor storm can account for the occurrence.

 She lost nothing but a jib and some put iy out of her seams in her % days and Is hours battle with head winds, and her stores held out so well that the only thing that Captain Cranfield had to send ashore for when he anchored was some coke to cook dinner with. The crew had had break fast.
 Early yesterday afternoon all her cruising rig was taken off and all her racing gear except her sails on board. By Tuesday 1t is expected that she will be ready for a spin down the bay. She will not go into dry dock for n week. Then she will be taken over to the Erie basin to have her bottom put in racing condition.
 The Nigilant is at New Rochelle. Her rigging has been strengthened so that there is no danger of her carrying away anything. She will not be hauled out until just before the race. There will be no change in the date of the race. It will take place on Oct. ,, and both boats will be ready.

coaches being driven into one another with mighty force, crushing the lives out of all who were caught between the splintering timbers Owing to the early hour, but few persons were aboard, and it was some time before the country and townspeople came to the assistance of the trainmen.
 The passengers who were not hurt work ed heroieally in their efforts to take the dead and wounded from the wreck as quickly as it could be done. The broken beams and twisted irons of the telescoped cars were pulled apart, and from beneath them the victims of the catastrophe were lifted. Within n short time many bodies, mangled and dead, were lying on the Drowned grass near the wreck, and a score or more of injured had been carried to the nearest farmhouses, where they were at tended to by surgeons and the country people

\ Brakeman to Blame.

The accident was caused by brakeman of q freight train turning the switch to let the freight out of side track after the first section of the express had passed and just before the arrival of the second section.
 The wrecked train was the second section of the fast express that left Detroit at 1C o'clock Thursday night and was due in Chi cago at 7:I5 Friday morning The freight train which came in collision with the pas senger train had orders to let the express pass it at kingsbury.
 To do this the freight was pulled in on a side track, where it remained until the first section of the express went safely by Then, either through a misunderstanding of the orders or because he did not know that the express train was running in two sections, the freight train brakeman threw the switch so as to permit the freight train to run out on the main line
 Just at that moment the second section of the express came along at a high rate of speed. Before the brakeman had time to throw back the switch the heavy engine of the passenger train had dashed into the siding.
 A moment later the trains met with ter rife force. To add to the horrors of the terrible collision the boiler of the passen- ger engine blew up. scattering human bodies and car wreckRge in all directions. Ten minutes after the accident had oc- cured the most frightful scenes were transpiring.
 All the neighboring towns were appealed to for aid, and a corps of physicians was soon on the spot attending to the injured. The people living in the vicinity of the wreck threw open their homes to the pas sengers of the i'll fated train, and nearly every house was soon transformed into a hospital. A force of volunteers assisted the | AtlFVivino train n ia rasr1fiv1ry ha nd cd and taking the bodies of the dead from beneath the derailed and demolished | coaches.
 The dead were placed side by side in { small room at the station. Relief traini were started from Chicago and St. Louis at an early hour, and when they arrived such of the injured as were in a condition to be removed were taken on to Chicago.
 Death Came While They Slept. The Masonic hall was turned into morgue. and drays and farmers wagons were kept busy for two hours hauling thu dead and wounded to the village, a milt | distant from the depot, where medical hell and nurses were summoned.
 There were two sleepers on the train the Marion and the Kansas City. The for mer escaped injury, but the front half O the Kansas City was converted into kin dlingwood by the day coach, which smash ed over it.
 The passengers in the sleeping cars wer, all yet in their berths when the shocl came. Many of them were thrown iron the beds and severely hurt. The harvest O deaths was reaped in the smoking car ana | day coaches composing the forward part O | the train. There was no time to make an. effort at self preservation.
