A TERRIBLE accident occurred at four
o'clock last Friday morning in the yards of
the Grand Trunk railroad at Battle Creek,
Mich. in which thirty people lost their
lives and nearly three score were badly in
iured. A RAYMOND & Whitcomb special
for New York and Boston and the Pacific
express over TIE Grand Trunk came to-
gether in head collision due to the fact
that the conductor and engineer of the east
bound train dsobeyed orders. When the
collision took place the second and third
coaches on the train going west were COM
pletely telescoped. 1t was in these cars
that the horrible sacrifice of life took place.
The second coach cut through the third
coach like knife, the roof passed over the
heads of the sleeping, and the Inflated
passengers were entombed in fiery fur
mace. The engine and baggage car of the
special were badly wrecked, but the
coaches, being sleepers, and the train mov-
ing slowly, escaped injury. The passengers
in the four coaches were more or less in
jured, and in one OF them, called the un-
lucky coach, which has been in several &C
cidents before there were twenty-five dead
bodies taken out by the fremen They
were pinioned under seats and jammed up
against the end of the coach by the next
coach, which had teescoped it, and then
burned like rats in trap. The Pacific
express was made up of thirteen old
coaches, four of which were completely
burned, catching fire from oil lamps in the
cars. The bodies of the victims were so
badly burned as to be unrecognizabe.
Nearly all had their heads arms or legs
burned off and cannot yet he identified. As
the second car was driven back through the
third it swept the people in a mass to the
north end of the latter car, in the vicinity of
the stove, where most of the bodies were
afterward found. The cars Immediately
| took fire, and in an instant they were all in
a blaze. Mrs. Charles VanDusen of Fort
Plain, N. Y succeeded in getting half way
out of the window, but her legs were fas-
tened, and those who ran to her assist
ance could not release her. She was
burned to death before their eyes, with one
half Of her body still hanging out of the
window Before death came to relieve her
sufferings she gave her name. G. Fl. Ward
and b. S. Ward of Moretown were on the
ill.starred train, but escaped uniniured.

CRY of fire started panic in a public
school building in Washington, ID. G., last

In the senate, last Friday, the case of j.

frmed by vote of 80 to %.
THE full bench of the supreme court OF
Massachusetts has rendered adecision to the
effect that man is justified in preventing
a dog fight, and that, If in so doing he is
bitten, the owner of the offending dog must

The decision is in case in which Daniel b.
Matteson of Palmer was plaintiff and Homer

Strong's dog attacked dog accompanying
Matteson in the street, and Matteson, while
holding his dog back, was bitten by Strong's

Paine's celery compound, which has tonic
effect, should not be able to keep up and
work hard.
81 recommended Paine's celery COM
pound to friend who dined with us yes
terday, and on leaving here she went and
bought bottle. / shall do all l can for it,
for believe in it,"
So the society woman, whose health and
grace are famous the country over, and who
is in a position to command the best medi-
cal advice, finds in Pane's celery com
pound the same relief from the effects of
overwork and illness that the poorer,
harder working woman finds.
And this great remedy that makes peo-
Pile we'll is equally within the reach of all.
1t is for sale in every respectable drug
store in the country, and is in greater de-
mand to-day than any remedy in the world.
1t is the one true specific for diseases
arising from debilitated nervous system,
probably the most remarkable remedy that
the scientific research of this country has
produced. Prof. Edward E. Phelps M D.,
LID, of Dartmouth College, first pre-
scribed what is now known the world over
as Paine's celery compound, positive cure
for dyspepsia, biliousness, liver complaint,
neuralgia, rheumatism and kidney troubles.
For the latter Paine's celery compound has
succeeded again and again where every
thing else has failed.
Washington correspondents have recently
given it great deal of attention since the
cures effected in that city.
The medical journals of the country have
given more space in the last few years to
the many remarkable cures where the use
of Paine's celery compound has made peo-
pie well than to any other one subject.
Try it and be better.

"a beautiful woman in beautiful gown "
is the way they describe her.
1.-THE Rev. DIR. Morgan Dix finds fault
with women" says the New York Sun,
for thinking more about their personal
charms than about their souls, but Miss
Mabel Jenness feels it her duty to INSTRUCT
them as to the best use of those charms in
the attainment of correct and elegant
carriage and by the proper artistic care
of the body In her view the soul ex-
presses itself through the body, and action
goes on between the two, with the result
that physical grace has moral value"
AS Mrs. Jenness-Mller is known the
world over for her ideas on dress reform, so
her sister, Miss Mabel Jenness, whose like
ness is given above, is celebrated for her
crusade for physical culture among the
gentler sex.
Her system of physical training is at
tracing great deal of attention. "She is
herself society girl, and yet finds time,'
says the Sun, "to practice her system, and
in the midst of her multitudinous duties
is never tired, never sick, doesn't know
where her nerves are, and is stranger to
headaches" The reason is apparent in a
letter written July 10, 1893, from Washing
ton, d. g.:

" to try Paine's celery compound at time

FOREIGN IN BRIEF.

THE recent storm which swept the western
coast of Mexico caused loss of many
thousands of dollars to stockmen and
farmers. Entire villages were also swept
away. The death roll exceeds one hundred
and fifty.
Two THOUSAND striking miners attacked
the Sutton Heath golfers at st. Helens
county of Lancaster, England, last week
Thursday. They were repulsed by the po-
lice after severe struggle. Ten ring
leaders were arrested Four policemen and
three miners were wounded severely and
several more on each side received injuries.
CHARLES FRANCOIS GoUNoD, composer of
the opera " Faust" died last week in Paris
from the effects of stroke of apoplexy. AT
the time he was stricken several singers
were at his house and Gounod Joined them
in the performance of his requiem mass.
He sang with great earnestness and full
power. Almost at the last note his voice
faltered and he fell to the floor. He never
recovered consciousness.
IT is said that the ameer of Afghanistan
is selling as slaves prisoners who were cap
tured by his forces during the recent re-
bellion OF the HaZara tribes. The expenses
incurred in putting down the rebellion were
heavy, and the ameer is said to be selling
his captives into slavery to recoup himself
for the money thus expended. Ten thou
sand persons have been already sold to
slave merchants and others.
In recent report to the department at
Washington, Consul Sandberg at Bagdad

There is a rumor that $4,000 persons died

rational attempt is made to stay the disease.
