A Chapter of Accidents.

Last week Thursday was an I'M
lucky day on the central division of
the Central Vermont railroad. The
trouble began with the mail train
east, which was delayed 40 minutes
near JoDesville by a hot box. Then
there was a collision at Bethel be-
tween two freight trains, in which ] z
ears were wrecked and the track
blocked for four hours, so that the
local train from White River Junct.
was several hours late.
The afternoon mail trains left Bel
lows Falls 80 minutes behind time
because of a wreck at Greenfield on
the Connecticut road. The train over
the Rutland division reached Bur-
lington at 40, but the one over the
Central division was not so fortu-
nate. The train, consisting of mail,
baggage and parlor cars and six
coaches, collided with freight train
in the yard at Northfeld, The freight
had taken the siding so as to leave
the main line clear for the mail, but
the crew of the freight neglected to
properly set the switch. The heavy
mail train came down the mountain
from Roxbury and collided, head on,
with the freight. Both engines were
badly damaged and the platforms
OF the mail and baggage cars so
badly broken that they we're left
off at Mortified. The engineer of
the passenger engine jumped and was
uninlured. The postal clerk was
slightly hurt, the news agent an an
kle sprained and the passengers we're
shaken up considerably. Mrs. At
lanta Melhinch of Ogdensburg, a pas
senger in the rear car, was the most
seriously injured. She was thrown
against the back of a seat with such
force as to cut cash two inches in
length in her forehead. Some of the
seats and lamps in the cars were
broken and glassware and china in
the buffet of the parlor car we're
shattered. A freight engine was Sc
cured and the train proceeded after
an hours delay.
Meanwhile two carloads of people
who had witnessed the Inauguration
at the State House we're awaiting
the train at Montpelier Junction, a
place which can give Essex Junction,
immortalized by Hon. E. j. Phelps,
some points in the way of dismalness.
The train finally reached Essex June
ton two hours and a half behind
time and only three minutes ahead
of the Chicago express, which was
sent to st. Albars ahead of the mail
train. Passengers from the two
trains came to Burlington together
and on the way in the train ran over
a skunk, making a strong and pene-
trating termination to a series of
mishaps.-Daily Free Press.

CHICAGo's AWAKENING. Chicago is
also having its reform wave, and it
has very much the appearance of
meaning business. At an immense
public meeting held in Central Music
Hall, with two or three overflow
meetings, men like Marshal Field and
p. D. Armour attended, and lawyers,
bankers, Protestant ministers, Ro-
man Catholic priests, college profess
ors, merchants and labor agitat0rs
were among the speakers. Rev. DR..
Clark, the DR.. Parkhurst of that city,
stated thenumber of public gambling
places which would be closed, and de-
clared that other forms of gambling
would next be attacked. Bucket
shops will be closed. Property own
ers who rent such premises for i'm
moral purposes will be prosecuted,
and general stirring up of the
criminal classes is threatened. The
Civic Federation is the name of the
organization which is the primary
moving force.

This month will witness the launch
ing of the largest steamship ever
built in this country. This is the st.
Louis, one of the two new ships now
building by VIM. Cramp & Sons at
Philadelphia, for the American line.
Each is $40 feet long, with twin
screws, will be of II 900 tons, and
have quadruple engines of 10000
horse power. Their hulls are entirely
of steel, and they are American
throughout. The interior of each
ship is divided into nine water-tight
compartments, without any doors or
openings whatsoever in the interven-
ing bulkheads. This feature elimi-
mates what Mr.. Cramp calls the hui
man factor" and by preventing the
leaving open of bulkhead doors in
cases of emergency, renders the ship
unsuitable. More than that, if cut
in two by collision, it is believed
that the separated halves will float
independent of each other.

To RECOVER $4, $780, OO.-Another
attempt is to be made to raise the
treasure of $4,900,00O in British
guineas, which went down off Port
Morris in Lond Island Sound in
1880, with the English man-of-war
Hussar." The plan which is to be
put in operation in few days is the
most novel yet devised. George W.
Thomas of Orange, N. j., who is said
to represent a syndicate with CAPT
tai of $750,000, has chartered the
tug "Chester" and fitted her out
with wrecking appliances. The "Ches-
ter" will be so moored above the
spot where the wreck lies that it will
remain stationery. Divers will be
sent down to loosen the sand and
earth that hides the wreck at a given
point. At that point big tube,
connected with a powerful suction
pump on board the Chester" will be
applied. The loosened material will
thus be pumped to the surface and
then shot through a giant sieve
This sieve will notpermit the passage
of anything as large as guinea.

Chairman Wilson, whose name is
associated with the mongrel tariff
bill, has returned from Europe. He
has been wined and dined and ban
guetted by the Englishmen, and his
travel through the country has been
like a triumphal march. 1t is only
natural that the British manufacture
ers and British workingmen should
treat Wilson as their best friend. He
and his party have worked to start
up British factories and industries
and stop those at home. No wonder
the Englishmen appreciate and toady
him. But in England is where he
should look for support hereafter
He will get no banquets and hurrahs
from American workingmen.

1t is said that Germany objects to
the working of the new sugar tariff. -
There must be some mistake about
this and the administration will have
it changed at once. Grover and his
party didn't mean to have anything
about the tariff that any foreigner
would object to. In fact, foreigners
are the only ones it was made for.
We trust under the circumstances
Germany will not kick up a muss
about any little oversight on sugar.
We Democrats certainly meant well
by Germany and every other country
under the sun, except the United
States.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, the vener-
able poet, is dead. He died at his
home in Boston last Sunday. and as
the press despatch read, without a
semblance of a struggle or a pain
he passed away as he has lived,
peacefully and beautifully" Pages
might be written eulogistic of the
great poet, but nothing better or
more fitting can beuttered than that
given in the above quotation. A
great man has gone, but as long as
the world lasts will his beautiful life

Abraham Lincoln's first speech on
the tariff question was notv very long,
but it was so plain that anybody
could understand it. He said he did
not pretend to be learned in political
economy, but he thought he knew
enough to know that "when an
American paid 500 for steel to an
English manufacturer, America had
the steel and England had the 500
But when he paid 500 to an Ameri.
can manufacturer, America had both
the steel and the 500" That was
sum and substance of the tariff
question as he viewed it.

INTEMPERANoE AMONG WoMEN-There is
much said about the growing habit of in
temperance among women; perhaps more
than the facts would warrant II this habit
exists it is owing to the fact that women are
often forced to perform domestic and social
duties under great physical suffering, and by
partaking of liquors for temporary relief
or a little protraction of strength, the habit
becomes necessity. If all ladies who suffer
with the complaints peculiar to their sex
would take DR.. Perce's Favorite Prescrip
tion they would find natures restorative,
and the evil results of pernicious drugs and
liquors would be avoided. For all cases Of
nervous and general debility, sleeplessnessl

tain in curative action that itcan be guaran
teed to benefit or cure or money returned.

Spools of cotton are numbered in
some mysterious way-the higher the
number the finer being the cotton.
The number used to be printed on a
label pasted on the spool, which
promptly came off when the spool
was handled. Now, however, the
spools of some threadmakers bear
the number of the cotton embossed
on the wood, so that, with or with
out labels, the size of the thread can
be known.

Montreal convention in 1898 the
board of trustees voted unanimously
to send the convention of 1895 to
San Francisco, provided a reasona-
bic railroad rate should be guaran-

the Cleveland convention. When the
Cleveland meeting was held the va
rious railroad lines had failed to
agree upon any rate, and they were
given to the first of September to
come to an agreement. The com
mittee could wait no longer and has
unanimously decided that the con
vention of '95 shall be held in Boston
in July next. This is claimed to be
as important a convention as has
ever visited New England. The con-
vention of '96 will be held in Wash
ington, D. c., and California is again
in the field for '97.

WHAT MADE HER INSANE
Police Mystifed by a Nude
Woman Running at
Large.

NEW YORK, Aug. II, 1S94.-A woman
without stitch of clothing on appeared
suddenly in Madison street at one o'clock
this morning, running at breakneck
speed wrnging her hands and shrieking
that some one was wrecking her home.
Where she came from no one knew or
knows till this hour. She might have
dropped from the clouds or from out of
window.
No one was found afterward who saw
her start, and not the least trace was
discovered, despite the persistent search,
OF the clothing she must have left some
where.
There she was, with her long black
hair streaming out behind as she ran,and
little drops of blood reddening the pave.
nent where it cut her naked foot. Early
as the hour was, there was crowd be-
hind her that jeered and carried on.
At Catherine street, Policeman Lawton
stood and swung his club. He said the
apparation came from the direction of
Market street, and started open mouthed.
She ran right up to him, shouting
Save me, They are running my home.
AS the crowd closed in pointing their
fingers at the woman. the policeman re,
coverd his presence of mind and yanked
her into the hallway of SO Madison street,
where sympathetizing tenant gave her
skirt. Thus rigged out, she was taken
crowd had partly melted away and the
coast was Comparatively clear. She left
wringing her hands and begging with
piteous cries to be saved from some one,
whom who she did not say.
AT the station house Sergeant King
questioned her and learned that her
name was Alice Scott She said first that
she belonged in Monroe street, but after
a violent interval insisted that she came
from Westchester. Before the question >
ing had proceeded far she suddenly fell
on the floor and writhed and kicked her
heels In a paroxysm of violence.
Nothing could be done with her and
she was sent over to Gouverneur Slip
Hospital in an ambulance, but there she
carried on so that they were glad to
strap her in a straight jacket and pack
her off to Bellevue. They put her in the
insane ward up there to watch and see
what might develop 1t was clear that
she was insane, but what caused her in
sanity was not so clear
