IL was about o'clock yesterday
afternoon when the west-bOund ex-
press ON the G. & o. branch of the
Iron Noun tain read was struck by the
hurricane. and the result was one of
the most serious wrecks ever known
on the system. The train, in charge
of Conductor Jack Lower and En-
gineer Andy Hill, had just reached
the limits Of the city, when the pas
sengers and crew noticed the ap-
proach of a funnel-shaped cloud that
was dealing destruction to everything
in its path, uprOOting large trees and
hurting mis- sizes before it.
The train and the cyclone met. and
the wind lifted the entire line of
coaches and landed them at a distance
of twenty feet from the track, almost
turning them completely over
Those who were not hurt seriously
had to free themselves and rescue
others less fortunate. Efforts were
being made in this direction when a
new danger presented itself. Flames
were seen in the rear of the train,
and only for the heroic action of
Brakeman CartWen an even worse
catastrophe might have been re-
corded. He hastily secured a heavy
piece of tim Der and battered down
the car door, rushed in and extin-
guished the flames Nearby were a
woman and little child on fire. and
hastily catching them up he extin-
guished the fire, but not till both had
been severely burned
A little fellow years old, supposed
to have fallen out of the window
when the train was overturned, was
found dead, his body being badly
bruised. Aside from the train and
its passe ngers the damage done by
the cyclone, which seems to have
been purely local, was slight. Its
path was not over thirty yards wide
aud did not extend more than a mile.

UNITED woRKMEN.

On the Foundation Of Fraternity Must the
Order stand-Notes.
If it were possible in any way to increase
the interest Of the member in the purely
fraternal features of the order so that it
would have something of the same infu-
encc now enjoyed by the Masonic order,
our success would become vastly greater
than it be in any other way. The
"A. o. u. w. cannot succeed on its protec-
tion features only. 1t is absolutely essen
tial to its prosperity and growth that in
addition to these beneficial features, the
fraternal part be carried out. AS has Of
ten been said. fraternity is the foundation
upon which our order is built, and II that
weakens it viii soon tOpple over.-Oyer-
seer.

looking man. Are the rest of my
clothes all right?''
''Well, I notice that your left shoe is
on your right foot. and your right is on
your left. -
GLOW glad am to know it, will
change them Immediately. Everything
else all right?''
HAT is back side to-
''Thank you. Everything else proper?''
''Your watch is dangling
eyes, I see. Anything else?''
"Oh, nothing special. but I noticed
when you arranged your necktie that
you had forgotten to put on your shirtP'
81 am SO glad you told me before I
go into the house for one. Please tell
me if everything else is all right.
''Well, opinions differ somewhat in
regard to the proper details of mems
dress, but personally think it is better
to button the first button on ones vest
into the first buttonhole rather than
into tho fourth, as you have done.
think it is better, too, when one combs
his hair III the morning, to leave the
comb in the cOmbcase rather than
in ones own hair. as you have
done. I also think. that it is better,
when one is fortunate enough to have
a good set of false teeth, to put in
both the upper and lower sets and not
merely the upper tier, as you have done.
I think, too, it is better form to have
ones suspenders securely buttoned rath-
er than have them bangle on tho ground
like yours. But then. all this, you know
is a mere matter Of opinion. !"
81 am sure I thank you sincerely, .
said the anxious looking man, and a
mixed sad and sweet smile crept over
his face. s'You see. while my wife is
away on her summer vacation have no
one to tell me whether 1 get my clothes
on right or not. You have done me
great favor, and 1 shall always remem-
Der it with gratitude.
