Queer Accident to a Freight Car.

A very peculiar mishap to a freight
train has just come to the attention Of
the motive power department of the
Panhandle in this city, and in it's de-
tails it assumes the nature of miracle
as strange as those of old. The train
was running at rapid rate between
Xenia and Trebeins, distance of four
miles, when the trucks Of enc of the
cars gave way and jumped onto the
tracks of the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton road, which runs parallel with
the Pennsylvania at that point. The
trucks lighted squarely on the rails,
and continued running until they
smashed into pilot of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton engine running in
the opposite direction. The Panhandle
train evidently did not suffer any in
convenience owing to the loss Of
trucks, as it was not discovered until
Trebeins was reached, and then it was
found that the body of the freight car
was held in position by the couplings
and had run two miles without any
wheels. The accident is perhaps With
out parallel in annals Of railways

Russell Sage has the reputation OF
being a hard-hearted and cold-blooded
money lender, but he seems to have
hit of sympathy after all. Last
week he sued the Erie railroad COM
pany for allowing it's employees to Kill
ono Of his horses which had fallen
through trestle and broken its leg.
The railroad men had killed the ami
NAL to put it out of its misery. Mr..
Sage employed a veterinary surgeon
to examine the dead animal and he re-
ported that it's life could have been
saved by keeping the. leg in splints.
The breaking of an animals leg Is
death. A broken leg Of a man is not
regarded as serious and he uses 1t
after proper treatment with as much
effect as before. Horses legs are lit
tie different and their legs may be set
and healed as are mems. Mr.. Sage
will find he has struck chord of SYM
patty that thousands of good people
will feel with him.

CRISIS IN VICTORIA'S FINANCES

England's Queen Once Had Marrow
Escape from Bankruptcy.
1t Is fact that not very many years
ago her majesty escaped complete
financial ruin by mere chance. The
failure OF certain great bank is with
In everybody's recollection. 1t came
like thunderbolt upon the whole COM
mercial world. The deficit was not to
be counted in hundreds of thousands.
but in millions of money. AS for the
shareholders in the unlimited company,
they were liable individually to the
whole extent of the banks debt. That
Is to say, the owner of ten-pound note
share was a part debtor of the six or
seven millions that the bank was short.
This, OF course, meant hopeless ruin
even to the very richest of them. The
first call swept away the savings of a
lifetime of the widow and orphan. In
a short time the weight of debt had
attacked and swallowed UP the
middle-class holders of shares. Then,
grinding as slowly and surely as "the
mills of the GODS" it reached the capt.
talist and millionaire and left them
sucked dry and penniless. 1t mattered
nothing whether they had one share or
a hundred, the result was the same
hopeless ruin. Now, it happened that
some time before this failure loyal
Scotchman had died, bequeathing sun
dry shares in this bank to the queen
Her advisers sat long in council con-
sidering this bequest, and her fate
trembled in the balance. At last they
decided that it was beneath her dig

the bank and made capital of it from
the point Of view of what might have
happened" They pictured Osborne,

Apple Butter Like Grandmother 'A

The first thing to dc is to secure
some good sweet cider apple cider) and
boil it half away. This should be done
the day before you expect to begin with
the apples. use porcelain-lined ket-
tie that holds five gallons. Boil it half
away and let it remain in the kettle
over night on the back of the stove
The advantage of this Is it is warm, and
will begin cooking earlier. AS soon as
possible the next morning I begin and
prepare the apples as for sauce and put
into the cider all 1t will hold. Fill
the pot full to the top and az 1t cooks

keep the kettle full until 1t Is quite

often, as it will burn very readily II it

gether with the fact that no man will

that, after all, it is not the metals, how

for which they are exchanged And

Spanish ineffciency has been shown
up in ludicroGo way by the recent
self-foating of the new cruiser Princesa
de Asturias, at Cadiz. The vessel,
which 1t had taken seven years to
build, got stuck in the mud when they
tried to launch her over month ago.
After trying their best to float her
without success for thirty days, the
Spanish engineers gave up the job,
adopting the usual Micawber policy OF
Spain of waiting for something to turn
up. They were justified by the cruis-
ers slipping into the water Of her own
accord one afternoon when no one
was watching her.

One of the silliest things of which
the plutocrats were guilty in the re-
cent campaign was their attack on
that part of the Chicago platform that
criticised the action Of the Supreme
Court in regard to it's decision on the
income tax. There was nothing new
or strange in that. Some of the best
republicans that ever lived criticised
severely the decision of the U. S. Su-
preme Court in the bred Scott case and
were of course denounced for it by the
slave power.

A milkman of Bayonne, N. j., tried
to drown himself on Tuesday, and the
water would NOT drown him! 1t was
not deep enough, but the large iron
anchor which he had tied to himself
when he jumped in was heavy enough
to keep him in two feet OF water for
several hours. Then he was rescued,

water and the milkman prejudiced the
former in the latter's favor.
