The journey of the company gave rise

be told again. The coming of the party
was of course made known along the

DRUMMED OUT.

The following story is related of a
member of the gospel, who has been
striking sledge hammer blows at SIM
in this city;
On a recent occasion the man OF
God preached telling sermon against
sin and sinners. lie excoriated those
of the devils followers who occupy
high worldly positions and to one
man, at least, in the congregation his
words must have gone straight home.
This individual rose from his seat
when the sermon was over and turn
ing to his nearest neighbor said, "that
preacher ought to be drummed out OF
town." When these words were con-
veyed to the preachers ears his coun-
tenance underwent sudden change
and CLEAN came into bis eyes such
as might have appeared at the sound
of the drum and fife thirty years ago,
when as gallant confederate soldier
he led the battle cry on many stub
bornly contested field. His answer
was, "tell that individual that in years
gone by l have repeatedly left town,
at the sound of the drum, both in pur-
suit and retreat, then | fought with
men for the cause of man, and our
banner was, by turns, carried with the
pride of victory and humiliation of

flag and for higher cause. With

upon himself, but will venture the as

MARROW ESCAPES.

With regard to the number Of mon
ey kings and famous figures of finance
who have had a close call with the
liking Of terrors," death, within the
past year, and their numerous narrow
not to say miraculous, escapes from
sudden and violent ends, a New York
paper prints the following:
"Quite u number Of men of millions
have had narrow escapes from sudden
deaths during the past year or So"
remarked a Wall street man in the
lobby Of the Wlnsor hotel the other
evening. 81 was reminded of that
fact a few days ago by the report in
the newspaper Of the narrow escape
George Gould had from quick death
by the premature discharge Of his gun
while hunting in the Adirondack.
Russell Sage started the ball rolling
by escaping the bomb of Norcross, the
discovery Of whose identity by the
World was one Of the greatest t
feats of modern journalism. Mr.. Sage
had narrow escape, indeed, but not
more so than did William X Wander
bilt, who barely saved himself u year
ago when his big yacht, Alya, went
down at night. Mr.. Cornelius Van
derbilt just escaped death from train
of cars about the same time Then
John w. Mackey, the California Bo-
nauza king, was shot at and wounded
by Rippoy San Francisco crank who
fancjed he had been wronged by the
money king.

being murdered. A passenger sitting
In front ofMr. Yerkes was killed, but

IRON MOUNTAIN CROSSING.

Since giving an account of the acci-
dent at the College EIlll Crossing, on
the Iron Mountain railway, in which
Martin Leverett lost his life, we learn
that the report, as to the train of cat
tie cars causing the accident, was un-
true and that Leyerett's wagon was
struck by theswitch engine alone. 1t
is also stated that the engine came
down on him without warning, neith-
or bell nor whistle being sounded
that the engine was going at great
speed is evidenced by the fact that
parts of the wrecked vehicle are scat
tered along the track for distance Of
one hundred feet, showing that the
engiue run that distance after striking
the vehicle before it could be stopped.
SO far as the gates, on either side Of
the crossing are concerned they are Of
no added benefit, when left,unguarded
as they now are, for twelve out Of
every twenty four hours and those
twelve including the early morning
and evening hours. There is only
one remedy for the evil and that is q
good substantial bridge, which might
ere this, have been constructed out of
the sums paid out by the company,
already, as damages for injury and
death, growing out of accidents on
this self same crossing. Indeed we
feel assured that this last accident will
cost the railway company, in the shape
of damages for the killing Of Lever
ette, money sufficient TO erect safe
and sufficient bridge over the tracks
at the crossing, which would not only
serve public safety, but would prove
a protection to the company as wei.
That the officers Of the road will has
ton to erect this safeguard, without
delay, we earnestly trust

SENATOR PALMER's VIEWS.
The Venerable nlinoissn Discusses
the Howaiian Situation.

Senator Palmer, the veteran Illinois
statesman, in an interview on the Ha-
waiian question and the state of
affairs between that country and the
United States Government, under
President Cleveland's administration,
authorized the following statement:
ain treating this Hawaiian matter the
president will deal with conditions
and not theories, and win necessarily
be compelled to accept the conditions
as he finds them He viii not make
war upon the Hawaiians, nor win he
countenance the Oligarchy which sup
erseded the titled kingdom and left to
the queen no other function than that
which enables her to. be pro0gate. /
have no doubt the president will act
upon the American doctrine of non
interference, and although he may re-
gret the necessity of leaving in power
the men who overthrow the painted
queen OF a painted kingdom, and
whose authority was obtained by q
collusion with the American minister,
he will, | repeat, deal with the condi-
tions as be finds them. But | should
be surprised If he should permit HIM
self to be involved in politics which
commit the United States to pro-
tectorate of those islands which are
now in the care of mere capitalists,
whose government means only the
slavery of every species of labor and
the acquisition Of fortunes for them
selves"
Senator Palmer also expressed the
opinion that the Corwin did not carry
dispatches conveying instructions ma
terially different from those originally
given to Minister Willis. lie thought
Mr.. Cloveland's excuse to restore the
status quo, and believed he would as
far as he legally and constitutionally
might, but that he would not overstep
the bounds Of executive authority, he
was confident lie also expressed the
opinion that the president early next
week would furnish congress with full
information concerning his course in
the Hawaiian ENHANCEMENT.
