NARROW ESCAPE.
Near Being Another Drawbridge Acct
dent at Cleveland.

dent at Cleveland.
CLEVELAND (O.), Nov. 22.-There
was a narrow escape early this morning
from a repetition of the dreadful draw
bridge accident that occurred last Satur-
day night. Shortly after O'Clock this
morning the draw of the Superior
viaduct was opened to allow the passage
of vessel. Three cars had stopped at
the west side of the draw to wait until it
should be closed. They contained alto
gether about thirty people.
The current was off, and the motorman
of the Woodland-avenue car, which was
the furthest from the draw, carelessly left
oil his controller. Suddenly the current
was turned on, and the rear car began to
move forward, pushing the two other
cars toward the still open draw.
Instantly there was great panic among
the passengers, who made frantic efforts
10 escape from the cars. Luckily, how
ever, the gates proved strong enough to
resist the pressure, and stopped the cars
on the very edge of the abyss. Had they
given way as the gates did on Saturday
night. the three cars would have fallen
into the river. A woman was badly in
jured in the crush while trying to escape
from one of the cars.

There is a man in Alexandria who has

HIS BODY CUT INTO THREE PIECES
AND BADLY MANGLBD

on the Umpqua Bar-The Captain
of the Vessel Thrown Overheard
and Drowned-A Robber Steals a
Pouch From the Mail Wagon at
OakIand-The Pouch Recovered,
But the Thief Escapes.

SAN FRANCISCO, NOV. -. - a
dreadful accident occurred this morn
ing in Alameda 1t resulted in the death
OF Austin j. Delaney, young man well
known on both sides of the bay. He was
crushed beneath a car of the narrow
gauge train at Park-street station, his
body being terribly mangled.
Young Delaney, who was but 10 years
of age, lives in Alameda, but is en-
ployed in an electrical establishment III
this city. 1t was his habit to take the
1856 local train at Park street every
morning.
At his home in Alameda the young
man had a type-setting plant, with
which, during the evenings, he did a
good deal of work. When he started for
this city to-day he had with him a
large package of printed matter.
He was carrying the bundle under
one arm, and on the other his overcOat
was hanging. Naturally, his move
ments were considerably hampered
Nevertheless, he attempted to board
the train while it was in motion, just as
it started to leave Park street. He
tried to get on the first coach but
missed his hold and fell against the
side of removing car.
The immediate and peculiar result
was that he did not at once fall to the
ground, but while still erect was kept
&hirling about like a top as the car
rushed by him. In a moment, however
he fell, and it seemed to the Mortified
spectators that he was Immediately
drawn under the train, as if by a cur
rent of air.
In point of fact, however, some por-
ton of his clothing, or possibly the over
coat which hung on his arm, must have
caught on a projection, 50 causing him
to be dragged under the train
The wheels of two trucks passed over
him defore the cars could be stopped

TO THE GRAVE BY RAIL.

Leslie's Weekly says: The hearse must
go. The present style of funeral cortege
in New York has been regarded by ell
burial reformers as one of the most ex-
pensive and inconvenient features of q
funeral. A hearse and single carriage
cost SIS, and the expense of funeral
cortege sometimes amounts into the
hundreds. Some of the well-to.do
Italians pay as much as $500 for Car
riages. The priests in many instances
have looked upon these shows as in
tolerable displays OF vulgarity and
vanity, but no one had offered solu-
luton Of this feature of the question
until President Uhlman, of the Brook
lyn 81" Road, asked why the people
could not go by rail to the cemeteries.
Mr.. Uhlman has conceived the fun
eral train, and, fortunately, has the
means to run it. and will do so as soon
as he can equip his stations with ele-
vators for lifting cof1ins to the trains
and make connections with New York
through all the ferries to Brooklyn.
There will be a hearse-car for the coffin,
attached directly to the locomotive,
and one or more passenger cars for the
mourners and their friends. These cars
will be painted, draped and upholster-
ed in black, the wood of black mahog-
any and the seats covered with black
velvet. But all the Cars are to be alike
and uniform in price. One car will ac-
commodate 80 or 40 people, will repre-
sent large funeral, and yet will be
made cheap enough for one lone mourn
er and mis- friend.
The Brooklyn 81" roads at this mo-
ment terminate near all. the large Gem.
eteries, and complete extensions will
soon be built to them, so that funeral
parties will have no need for hearses
and carriages, once they are dismissed
at the ferries. Mr.. Uhlman says his
funeral trains will reduce both the time
and expenses involved in afuneral cor
tege by one-half.

THE LATE MISS CUNNINGHAM.
Letter in Richmond Times
BIRMINeHAM, Ala., Aug. 5, 1885.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug 5, 1895.
Dear Sir-Your reference to Miss
Cunningham is what interests me, and
I venture to note your remark: She
was a granddaughter of William Bird,
of Birdsville, Pa, who went to Alexan-
dria, Va, married there Miss Dalton, a
sister of young lady alleged to have
had the offer of Washington's hand ard
heart. Colonel Bird moved his family
to Hancock county, Ga, in the last de-
cade of thee eighteenth century. One of
his daughters married Capt. Robert
Cunningham, of South Carolina, and
another married B. c. Yancey, re-
nowned lawyer of South Carolina, faith
er of William Lowndes Yancey, the or
ator. Thus, Miss Anne Pamela Cum
ningham, the originator of the Mount
Vernon Association, was first cousin of
w. L. Yancey, and it was through her
influence that he devoted so much time
for two or three years in the labor of
raising the money to purchase Mount
Vernon.
Mrs. Louisa Bird Cunningham was a
woman of unusual accomplishments
and public spirit. So was her younger
sister, Mrs. Caroline Bird Yancey. Upon
opening newspaper at her home, Rose
Hill," Laurens county, S. O., she OBJ
served the difficulties with the Virginia
Legislature, of which you speak. Turn
ing to her invalid daughter, remarka-
bly, intellectual young woman, she ex-
claimed: "You write some letters for
the press, urging the women of all
America to rise up and save the home
of Washington" The letters, signed,
ga Southern Matron.n were rapidly
published, and the result is before the
world.
At the dedication of Washington's
monument, at Richmond, the Mount
Vernon Association invited Edward
Everett and W. l.. Yaneey to deliver
addresses. At the theatre that night,
Colonel Munford, Secretary of State,
delivered to Mr.. Everett, as from the
association, cane, relic of Washing
ton, and to Mr.. Yancey, the field glass
Washington used in the Revolutionary
war. Mr.. Yancey gave this glass to
President Davis upon his inauguration
at Montgomery.
Miss Anne Pamela Cunningham lived
at Mount Vernon after the war, and
was, in some way not quite known to
me, badly treated and expelled by the
"trooley loyal" women farther up the
country. Her remains are buried in
the Presbyterian church-yard at Co.
lumbia, S. G.
I very greatly enjoy your letters;
hence these proffered Celebrations,
which I hope you will pardon. Very
respectfully,
JOHN WITHERsPooN DU BOSE,
Editor Tribune.
