A long train Of loaded jumbo coal cars
was going east, and running at high
rate of speed.
Suddenly brake rigging on one Of
the cars near the head of the train came
loose in some way and dropped to the
rails. The collision Of the wheels OF
the car with the obstruction snapped an
axle, which threw the car from the
track. Instantly car wheels. brakes,
timbers, rails and coal were flying
thick in the air, as car after car went
piling upon the first one and one on
another. Ten cars were torn to splin-
tiers.

other track, and two tumbled down an
embankment. Not q truck or bit of
brake apparatus was left en- a single
one of these cars, and the ten others
were simply piles of stove wood and
scrap iron. The rails were completely
ripped from the ties for distance of
400 feet on the east-bound track, and
for 200 feet on the west-bound track.
THE roadbed for that distance was
covered two feet deep with coal. The
whole thing was done in less than fif-

A Royal Treasure Find,

People who leave loose change in
the pockets of old waistcoats and then
search for it with frantic avidity in
times Of financial stringency will
relish the story OF George IV.'s sub.
lime indifference to money. The
Duke Of Wellington told Lady de Ros
the story and it is related in her
daughters recently published book of
memoirs. The King, from the time
ne was a young man, constantly car
ried pocketbook, into which he
thrust bank notes, letters, trinkets,
locks of hair, and keepsakes AS
soon as the pocketbook became full
he used to put it away in drawer
without troubling himself to examine
its contents. and substitute for it a
new one drawn from stock he kept
on hand. This when filled was laid
aside and replaced in like manner.
When the King died it developed on
the Duke and another executor to eX-
anime the monarch's personal effects
and they discovered an entire chest
OF drawers filled with fat pocketbooks
which contained not less than $50,
900 in money.

there Is chance of heavy fight, may
never return, to do something for the
poor and dependent of your beautiful
town. Take this purse, my dear doc
tor, know not how much it contains,
and give it to those who may need it."
The Doctor, who was an exceedingly
kind-hearted man, took the purse-its

away, he said:

what they Go not understand, I am

Graham, I must leave you. and shall

family on board the Wanderer this az

The Doctor said he would surely be
there, and then he hurried home to give
Lea and her mother another evidence
OF Captain FOx's princely generosity
and Christian thoughtfulness.
He found Ellen Condit at his house,
and told her that he would go up soon
to see her father, whose extraordinary
conduct OF late puzzled him not little,
and made him extremely anxious for
his old friends health.

and we should not be at all surprised
to see him return, at any time, dressed
as sailor and walking with rolling
gait, while he shouts to us that he has
enlisted" said Ellen, smiling.
"Oh, Heaven forbid. But, OF course,
Ellen, you will attend the reception on
board the Wanderer this afternoon?"
said DR.. Hedges.
| Yes; Lea and I were talking about
that. We think some of the officers

Gamins In Rome.

A correspondent OF the New York

Rome have all the curiosity, shrewd-

Wedding Presents That Count.

Aside from the money that will be
settled upon the Duke of York and
his bride by Parliament, they will
have enough in the way of wedding
presents to support them during their
natural lives should the Radicals up

their own resources.
In such a case the Duke OF York
could 20 to New York and open
jewelry store that would astonish the
natives, with judicious advertising
and proper use of his title so as to
bring about quick sales. Even at a
small profit on such sales sufficient
sum would be realized to enable the
ex-royal pair to live in style in New
York and to cut pretty large swath
generally. The value of these pres
ents in money cannot be vet known,
hut rumors OF what will come from
India and other English possessions
are already rife, and they are more
reliable than rumOrs usually are.
They indicate that the Duke of York
will need to build some very large
vaults to hold even the gifts that will
be bestowed upon him in what may
be termed an official manner by the
governments that he will one day be
at the head of if all things 90 we'll

Then will come his gifts from other
European nations with which En-

will send something to prove its
loyalty. Philadelphia Press.

mastiff, drove up in front of a Gin

the Times-Star of that city, and
jumping from his buggy snapped the
hitch strap into the ring OF his horses
bit, and then placed the other end of
the strap in the mouth Of his mastiff,
which by this time had seated him
self on the curbstone. There the
mastiff sat like statue of stone hold

master went in to "see a man." On
the gentleman's exit the dog yielded
up the strap and the gentleman drove

What Trees to Plant,

Plant varieties that grow and thrive
in your own neighborhood. The white
elm will flourish on a great variety Of
soils, but it is at its best on clayey
ground or where the subsoil is clay.
For majestic form and depth of shade
this tree is the monarch of the woods.
The oaks are slow growers, but they
endure hardships like good soldiers
and struggle up to vigorous. self
poised life amid bleakest surround
ings.
In beauty of form and finish the
leaf of the red oak is without rival,
while the tree itself is the most fit
ting emblem in the forest of that en-
during strength that bides its time
amid storm and strife. Plant an oak,
greetings to generations that will be
born in the good time coming.
Hard naples may be planted on al,
most any soil, but perhaps thrive best
on light loans or sand. Their COM
pact, oval tops and brilliant green
foliage render them the most desir-,
able shade trees that are to the man
ner born. They will hold the tintsi
of the western sky incarnadined I'M
their foliage long after the elms have
shaken down "the last leaf upon the,

The cut leafed, white birch is, per-,

Fifty-six years later, in 1885, one of
blacksmiths took place in Dantzic
which only ended, but then rather
abruptly. when the local authorities
obtained permission to issue an edict
proclaiming that until further notice
any workman refusing to obey the
lawful dictates of his employer as to
continuing operations was to be sum-
marily deprived of his ears.

GROVER SURRENDERS.
This Will Garry the Matter 10 the Psepls II
1884 Elections.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2o.--A special to
the Lewiston Journal says; Demo-
cratic senators have practically agreed on Q
compromise As = substitute for uncondi-
tionsl repeal. as ms sjority Of them refuse
to change the rules, so As TO pass uncondi-
tional repeal. II is said that Cleveland
agrees not to veto the compromise. II de-
fers the repeal of the silver purchase pro-
vision of the Sherman act for about one
year, till after the next congressional cleo
tons. The silver men think this will carry
the silver question into the elections OF
1894, and that they will secure a majority
and next year prevent repeal from going in
to effect. Then there are some Republicans
who think this is better than nothing, but
most Republicans regard this compromise
as mischievous mSkssh which will pro-
long the silver agitation and business.
The compromise will pass the Senate
next week and then 20 to the House.
II will be seen that should this compro-
mise be adopted before the end of October.
there would be II months during which the
secretary Of treasury must purchase 4,50O,-
600 ounces of bullion each month, paying
therefor in treasury notes. This would in
crease by S63 200. 900 the present silver
circulation of S556, 200 900, making n total
of S6l2 900, 900.
A cloture resolution was introduced in
the Senate by Voorhees, and went over till
tomorrow. He said it WAS practically tho
same as that heretofore offered by Hill.
II provides that after any bill or resolu-
ton has been debated for 80 days, any sem
stor may submit motion fixing time to
take the final vote that the motion shall bc
put Immediately; and that during its pend
ing ior at the time fixed for the final vote.
