IA DISASTROUS WRECK AN AWFUL CATASTROPHE CAUs- ED BY AN BEREAVEMENT GIVING WAY IN
 INDIANA.
  MANY PERSONS KILLED.
 - It Is Impossible to Get the Names of the Unfortunates as They
 Are Still Buried in
 Water.
MANY PERSONS KILLED.

EVANSVILLE, IND., March II, lS97.- The most disastrous wreck that has ever occurred on the Terre Haute railroad happened yesterday morn ing between l2 and o'clock as. the train known as the Midnight Cam non Ball from Chicago was coming south over the road.
 Recent rains have had terrible ef- feet on the road bed and the entire service of the road has been engaged since last Friday In getting the road Ill shape for travel. It was pros nounced safe last night, and the train service resumed. All trains had orders to proceed cautiously on slow time for safety, and the train that was wrecked was coming on under these orders. At Il point three quarters of Il mile north Of Hazleton the embankment suddenly gave way and the engine, baggage car and part of the smoker went down. The engine turned over but the baggage car remained upright. The smoker hung over the abyss. Engineer Me- Cuteheon escaped death, but his fire man. Joe Coleman, waskilled. Con- ductor Sears, of Terre Hante, who was In the smoker, was also killed.
 It is reported there were fifteen passengers in the smoker. All of these were killed. 1t is impossible to get their names, as they are still in the wreck. Shortly after the train went down the creyasse spread, and it is now 100 feet wide.
 The baggage car and smoker which contains the ill-fated passen- gers, fioated off into field.
 Where the accident occurred there was long stretch of embankment upon which the track was laid sur rounded by the backwater from White river.
 1t is supposed ground hogs had burrowed under the embankment to get away from the flood and the wa ter followed, making the accident possible.

The sCheap John Printer.

While in Chilcothe a few weeks ago we overheard a "Cheap John" printer trying to secure a job of printing from a prominent business man The c. J had informed him that he would print a certain lot of stationery cheaper than he was pay ing for it to the home printers, when he received this rebnke: T do not care if you can, you could not print it for me if you did it for noth- ing. Our newspapers are the best friends our city has, and they can do my printing as long as I have any to do." If the business men of Breckinridge adopt the same prin- eiple, it would not be long until we could put in new press and enlarge and make better the paper that is an advertisement of our town every week. sSend me a copy of your paper is the request received almost every week from parties of whom We have never heard, located any where from California to Massachu
 setts, -Breckinridge Bulletin.

Facts About Matches.

Wax matches are employed IN
Europe to an extent vastly greater
than IN this country.
An average of eight matches for each
man, woman aud child is used IN the
United States daily.
The body of a wax match is mado
by drawing cotton strands, twenty or
thirty at a time, through melted
stearine.
1t costs more to strike match in
France than in any other civilized
country, because the business is
mouopolized by the Government.
Sweden is the greatest match pro-
ducing country in the world, although
the industry is conducted on an enoi-
nous scale IN the United States and
elsewhere.
The "safety" match was invented by
a Swcde named Lundetrom, in 1850.
the head of the safety match contains
chlorate of potash and sulphur, while
the friction paper on the box is spread
with paste of amorphous phosphor IS
and antimony.

How could the man be ignorant that

And, above all, how did precisely this

The young man put his foot on the
doorsill to enter.
Prescott struck him upon the FORE

But he was strong and determined, and
rushed at Prescott's breast with both
hands, showing him from the doorway
and springing into the house. Upon
this Prescott again seized him and flung
him 1eeling from the threshold, shut
the door and bolted it, and walked into
the parlor, giving q long, level glance
at his wife, who was standing up, as
still as statue.

Prescott had never seen his wife look

looked like a queen newly crowned.

which those who command either them

KEEP THE SILVER SHINING.

To keep silver in perfect condition
1t should be well washed and rubbed
after every time of using. Perfectly
clean hot water must be provided and
plenty of soap used. a small mop
will be found better than cloth to
wash it with, as the water must be al.
most too hot to bear the hands in. 1t
should be dried at once with per-
fectly dry towel and rubbed with q
clean wash leather before putting back
into the silver basket.
Any stains should be removed from
silver as soon as detected, or they may
be hard to remove if left. The silver
must be we'll soaked in strong soap
and water for an hour or two, then
rubbed over with whiting made into
q paste with vinegar and left to dry.
When dry they must be polished with
o leather after first washing in hot
water. Where ink has been dropped
on silver, it can be removed by at
once using little chloride of lime,
which must be washed off as soon as
the stain is removed.

fully down under her long, dark lashes
at the curious but admiring crowd
that constantly surrounded her.
Another smart frock, this time seen
in the audience, was made of black
broadcloth, and with the full skirt and
rounded jacket was worn a shirt waist
of heavy gros grain poppy red silk.
The picturesque hat that crowned this
suit was on the short.backed sailor
shape, and WAS trimmed with wealth
of poppies and full bow of black
velvet ribbon.
Another well-known woman OF fash.

colored cloth gown on the Etonian
style; the short jacket had uniquely
shaped revers and was exquisitely
tailor stitched.
A mousseline de sole chiffon vest OF
palest yellow, fancifully trimmed with
plated founces, was worn beneath the
jacket, and the effect, as may be I'M
agined, was most charming, for the
severe elegance of the gown was soft

daintiness of the rest.
