LAWYER AND PREACHER.
How Judge Christian Got His Clients Out
of Jail and Married Them.


Judge Hiram Christian is the old orig.
inal lawyer of Mcdowell, w. Va. He has
practiced law so long In this county that
the memory of man runneth not TO the
contrary" The Judge, however, combines
with his law practice general utility. He
breaches occasionally, pulls tooth with
as much dexterity as the latest graduates
of the dental schools, and In the old days
was known as a man who would fight at
the drop OF hat. He Is above all an all
round good fellow. A few days ago the
Judge was called upon to take case which
seemed surrounded by more than ordinary
difficulties.
Lucien Gabriel, an Italian, and Lizzie
Smith, an English girl, both from Algoma,
this county, had fallen in love with each
other, and their love led them beyond the
bounds OF good citizenship, or, rather, fur
Their than Is allowed In good society. They
were arrested and both were languishing
In the county jail with cruel bars separat-
ing them from complete happiness.
After remaining IN jail for ton days they
sent for Judge ClOstian. The case was
an easy one for the judge. He had them re-
leased from jail temporarily and took them
cOAoio "uuBe NHullDSrs Oh Jne criminal
court to try and effect :, permanent release.
While Judge Chambers was inquiring in
to the details of the case, with the culprits
sitting in his Office, Judge Christian then
and there produced marriage license,
and, temporarily dropping his role as at
torney, So to speak, took on the robes of a
minister of the gospel and proceeded to
make the troubled twain happy one
After the ceremony and the oongratula-
tions the minister was lawyer again, and
he produced a bond for the offenders, duly
signed and sealed, with his own wife as
surety. Judge Chambers relented, receipt
ed the bond, and Lucien Gabriel and his
bride went out into freedom and bliss -

TRAMP ACROSS CONTINENT.

Zahnd and His Family Reached Camden
on Their Journey to Germany.
John Zahnd, his wife and four children,
all girls, 8, 8, 9 and 10 years old, left the
city hall at Camden, n. j., recently to
continue tramp begun nine months ago
from Washington and to end In Germany
The five reached Camden the other night,
footsore and weary, through the driving
snowstorm and appealed for shelter In the
tramps' quarters In police headquarters.

me the next morning. "Well, it is sad

NEW THEORY ON MAINE.

ply To Cripple the Cruiser.
j y. Casanova, Cuban postal COM
missioner under the Cleveland admins
tration, a leading citizen of Philips
burg, Pa, but temporarily residing in
New York city, recently expressed the
opinion that it was almost a certainty
that there would be war between the
United States and Spain; that with
Spain war was necessary in order to
have an excuse for the loss of Cuba I;
that Cuban independence, won by the
insurgent, would be considered a dis
grace by Spain; that the De LONE Incl
dent was in line with Spain's policy to
bring about war, as was also the
blowing up Of the Maine.
Concerning the Maine, he makes the
statement that the Spanish officers in
Havana did not intend to destroy the
vessel or take life, but that torpedo
was exploded in the hope that the act
would be deemed sufficient to bring
about declaration of war by the Unit.
ed States; that in the explosion of the
torpedo the conclusion caused the burst.
ing OF magazine on the Maine, which
wrought the complete destruction of the
ship and the terrible loss ci life.
Mr.. Casanova is native Cuban and
was compelled to leave thu island on
account of his activity in behalf of Gu
ban Independence. The Casanova family
have lost hundreds of thousands of dol
lars on account of the present insurrec-
tion, possessing large property interests
in Cuba. He thinks that if the Maine
incident does not provoke America to
war the Spaniards will cause the assas-
sination OF General Lee or commit some
other act that will bring on a war. =

BIG HAWAIIAN TRADE.
United States Ships Carry the Bulk of the
Commerce.


Commerce.
During the year 1897 427 vessels, with a
tonnage of 513, 500, entered the ports of
the Hawaiian rcprblic. The United States
still leads the whole world in the number
of ships and aggregate tonnage engaged in
the Hawaiian trade. Ships carrying tho
American flag numbered 2S6, with a tom
mage of $780, 045, while all other national
tiles only numbered li1 with q tonnage
of 243, ISL. This Is good increase over
the figures for 1896, but what will be par
ticularly gratifying to Americans Is the
fact that the increase is almost entirely In
our favor. OF the increase of Al vessels 80
were American, while all other countries
had only two.
The above figures do not fully show the
preponderance of American bottoms, be-
cause they include steamers touching here
only to discharge mail and a few passen-
gers. The majority of these steamers are
British and as they carry little freight to
and from these islands 1t Is misleading to
include them in any report of the nation
atty of vessels employed by the Hawaiians
i'm their commerce with the world. Only
one steamer, the Australia, makes this
place her port of discharge and she Is
owned by Americans and has an American
register. She plies between here and San
Francisco. making ID trips each year.
To appreciate how much Of the products
of these islands Is carried In American
bottoms the steam tonnage should be de-
Quoted. In 1897 sailing vessels to the
number of 29l, with tonnage Of 215, 262,
entered the ports of these islands. OF this
number 237, with tonnage Of 1874, 406, or
80 per cent, were American, while those
from all other countries only numbered 81,
with tonnage of 90 s56.-New York

CURIOUS RAILWAY WRECK.
Cattle Were Killed, Grain Was Spilled,
but Eggs Remained Unbrokeu.


Seven cars in the center of a full
train of special freight on the Burling-
ton road recently left the track near
Plano, Ills, the result Of broken
flange, and were tumbled over into a
ditch.
Four of the cars were laden with
grain, two contained cattle and one was
packed from the floor to the roof with
eggs. The grain cars were splintered
and the grain scattered all about. Many
of the cattle in two of the cars were
killed, but the car containing the eggs,
although it turned over twice before
landing in the ditch, preserved its con-
tents intact. Investigation showed that
not an egg was broken.
The Burlington puts this down as one
of the most remarkable wrecks on the
road. The tracks were cleared in three
hours and traffic resumed. Chicago
