A Famous Wine

The Emperor Williams present to
Prince Bismarck consisted of dozen
bottles Of the famous Steinberg cabinet
OF the great comet year, which is the
finest and rarest wine in the imperial
cellars and remarkable both for its fra

worthy of the occasion, for all such wine
is absolutely priceless, and it is prob
ably only to be found in the cellars of
the emperor and of the Duke of Luxem-
burg, except for any stray bottles which
may yet be hidden away in few coun-

A religious riot in miniature has taken
place at Nantes. Some Catholic Youths
were passing through fair when they
caught sight of booth labeled ''Sanc.

dressed in the rough robes and cowl of a
Capuchin monk and protested to show
inside several relics or curiosities. in

and the whale which swallowed Jonah.

orange merchant had to bear the conse-

LACED by the Catholics, who pelted the
Snowman with the fruit Of the Hesperides
until he had to retreat inside what he
had really to use as sanctuary for his

GOOD ADVICE '

Marriage is q lottery, you say,
And all single folks should give thanks.
Now, do not think it's that way
Or that all the married draw blanks.
Some men are most thoughtless and slow
And quite sure the wrong thing to do,
And others cause heartache and woe.
lam sorry to say this is true.
Some women are wicked also 49,.
And cause as much harm as q man.
No one is born perfect, you know,
Or has been since time first began.
But some men are thoughtful and kind
And strive to make life's burdens light.
Some very good women you'll find
Who always will try to do right.
For married folks there's good way,
And it is quite easy to learn
Love each other we'll every day,
And all faults to virtues will turn.
There's another plan you might try,
And think it worthy of note
First ''pluck the beam from your own eva
Ere you look for the other ones mote.n

TIME TO APPLY THE BRAKES.

The Leaders of the Great Coal Miners
Strike Trembling at Its Magnitude and
Awful Possibilities.
COLUMBUS, O., May 27.-Secretary Nc
Bryde said yesterday that the miners
strike had assumed a very menacing
condition toward the industries of the
country, and, in his opinion, it was high
time the fast train on both sides got to-
gether and settled it. There was more
money lost every day by reason of the
idle mines than all the profits on the
great railroad contracts which are
blocking the settlement put together.
cit is not our fault" said he, ''that the
strike is continued. We have been or
ganized and ready to negotiate as a
body since the strike began. The opera
tors cannot act as a unit for some rea-
son.
President John Mcbride received a
letter from brewing company at
Terre Haute, Ind, in which an offer
was made that if coal was allowed to
be mined for the company they would
pay 5000 per week into the treasury of
the United Mine Workers besides pay
ing the scale wages.
A brewing company at Massillon, O.,
made piteous appeal. They had been
getting their coal from private bank.
It is now closed. They have but little
coal, and can get none. If their cool
ing and ice-making machines are
stopped such an enormous expense will
be put upon the company that it will
bankrupt it.
President Mcbride left for Spring
field last evening without taking any
action in these cases. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that the rioting miners
at Cripple Creek, Col, are gold and sill
yer miners, and do got belong to the
coal miners union.

CUMBERLAND, Md, May 27.-Thls-
morning ahont o'clock one of the most.
disastrous wrecks known in the history
nf the Baltimore & Ohio railroad oc-
Cured near Pine Grove, two ana one
half miles east Of lockwood, "a, On
the Pittsburgh division OF that ROAD.
The Inflated train was the New forh
& Pittsburgh express, which left TINS
place at 1880 this morning with two
regular express cars, combination eN-
press and mail car and several day
coaches. -.
The coaches were well filled WITH
passengers, and the train was running
at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
Suddenly, without a moments warn
ing, the engine dashed into large
landslide, sending it in twinkling
down into the creek. where 1T still lies.
The combination mail and express and
the regular express cars crashed into :
the engine with terrific force, and in q
few minutes were on fire. The coaches
with their precious burden OF passen- :
gers were jammed together, but did not
leave the track, to which fortunate oc-
currence is due the fact that there were /,
none of the passengers injured.
AS soon as the train quieted from the :
conclusion, the passengers rushed to
the piled-up and burning express cars
where they found Messenger Stohl, OF
the United States Express Co., strug-
Cling to escape from his car. In mo-
ment he was rescued but not until he
had received serious injuries about the
head and body and probably internally,
but it is thought he will recover.
The passengers then turned their att
tention to the derailed engine below in.
the creek, and were Mortified to find no
signs of the engineer or his fireman.
For five long, weary hours they con-
tinued their search, until at last they
found the crushed and dead body of
Fireman Rhinehart under the locomo-
tive. One of his feet was entirely
burned off.
Continuing their search they came
across bits of the remains of the unfor-
tunate Engineer Nicholson. These"
they gathered up and put in a bucket,
tirely consumed by fire.
Messenger Stohl was taken to Balti-
more, where he lives, on train this
afternoon. The remains of Engineer
Nicholson and Fireman Rhinehart were
taken to Glenwood, Pa, where they
leave families.
All traffic was suspended for five OF
six hours.
