On business trip, some months
ago, The Rambler stood in one of
the great Rail- DAD depots, await
ing his train. At the great iron
fence of the station stood, also a
little group waiting-an old wo-
man and an old man, and a man
young in years. They, too, were
waiting for a tram. The young
man was going away westward
somewhere. He told the old folks
be would come back at Christmas
to see them. The father and moth
er, their shoulders bent with long
years Of burden bearing, had come
to say their poor little, fearful
goodbye. The three stood there
waiting, waiting, waiting. 1t was
pitiful. it was pathetic beyond all
power Of language to portray.
The train arrived. There was a
passionate parting at the gate.
The train passed on It's way.
Up and down, up and down
the long floor of the station
the old man and the old woman
walked for a time, his feeble right
arm pressing her old brown shawl
to her old bent figure, she weep
ing the while, the old heat break
ing. He sought to soothe her,
his own old heart breaking, too,
The old bonnet and the old hat
touched each other, as the old
hearts did, and the good old sore
rowing souls walked up and down
there in the chill of the red Fall
evening. Now and then he lifted
his LETT sleeve to his eyes, his
right arm still pressing the waist
it first pressed, young and fair and
1.-the, more than forty years before,
She, dear old heart, made little
effort to dry her eyes, faded by
years of tears. The tenderness of
it all was infinite. Our train came
and we rolled out of the great sta
ton, on u homeward way; but
that scene has haunted US through
all the Intervening months, and as
the glad Christmsstide approaches
we wonder if it holds for those
two old sorrowing hearts the joy
of their boy $ return: God grant
that it may. Indeed, if the world
had half as much love and tender
ness and sweetness and self sacri-
fee as that bent old mother,
weeping the departure of her boy,
charity would rule the earth. It is
such lives as hers that make the
world as good as it is and hallows
mankind to the glory of God.

some IRREGULARITIES.
A wreck of this nature always has
some peculiar features about it that
cannot be accounted for. except by a
person of strong Imaginative faculty.
One peculiar thing was that one or two
of the ears in the rear end of the train
had their trucks shattered and broken,
while others in the middle or nearest the
wreck were not no.iceably damaged IN
the least. The heavy hanges of the
ear wheels where snapped off while
parts of the engine. moro liable to be
broken into a thousand pieces, were
not damaged.
50 ONE BYE WITNESS.
As far as can be learned there was
only one eye witness of the collision
outside of the railroad men who we're
themselves concerned in the wreck
This WAS q l6an by the name of Dyer
who is employed in the insane hospital
] and who happened 10 be up and look
/ ing out the west window st thst par
tieular time. He saw the two train:
coming toward each other, and few
/ minutes later heard the crash and saw
by the weird flames Of the bu-ninl
ears that something awful had hap
pened. In less than ten minutes b,
was on the scene, fully expecting t.
hear the groans of dying men and Il
find their mangled boiies by the sid,
of the rosds He rendered all the hell
possible and assisted in calling tn
wreck train from this city. BE sait
that he looked at his watch an instan
! after the collision aud that it was ex
actly 2 O'Clock.

The Elections Tuesday.

1t seems that the Democrats have
carried the Kentucky State Legisla-
turc by safe majority and with the
result for Governor still in doubt, and
both sides claiming Il majority of sew
eral thousands, the defeat, when the
suicidal policy pursued by the De-
mocracy is considered, does not seem
to be very overwhelming. The same
is to some degree true in Ohio. The
Legislature will be Democratic, and
the result shows that had the oppO-
nents of Hannaism and the Admins
tration been united, the result would
have been rebuke to their high
handed course. Nash's plurality over
Mclean is given at about $4,000.
Jones non-partisan) received about
100000 votes.
In Maryland, the Democrats have a
clear majority on all their ticket. J.
w. Smith is elected Governor by H.
600 majority, and the Democratic pre-.
ponderance on n joint ballot in the
Legislature will DC 50.
AS usual in New York the CITY and
Brooklyn so Democratic and the out
side counties Republican. There will
be a Republican increase of IL in the
Assembly. But that does not signify
any change of State policy.
Shaw for Governor of Iowa is re-
ported to have a majority of 10000,
with the Legislature Republican by II
on joint ballot.
The Democrats carried Nebraska nv
10000.
The Republican plurality in Massa-
chusetts is 66,OOO; in Pennsylvania,
100000; in Dakota, 1000. Gains for
that party are likewise shown in New
Jersey (Which always goes with New
York; in Colorado and in Kansas.
1t is quite probable that the contest
for Governor in Kentucky will have to
be decided by the Legislature, which,
let it be remembered, is safely Demo.
cratic, and therefore likely to decide
the matter fairly and justly.

HONORs TO SCHLEY.-It seems that
the. American people are determined
to do justice to the achievements of
Rear Admiral Schley, at Santiago, de-
spite the efforts Of the Administration
to accord the honors to Sampson.
Now the people OF Atlanta are show
ing their appreciation by an ovation
to him on his visit south this week.
Twelve thousand people crowded the
auditorium to witness and take part
on the presentation of a loving-cup.
1t will be difficult task to rob the
man who gave the orders for demoli-
ton of the Spanish navy OF the honors
always accorded to successful CON-
manders, and it is the rankest of par
tisanship which prompts such an at.
tempt.

A CAR on the Seattle Ballard line
was held up, at IL 20 Monday night,
by two highwaymen and a gun, and
nine passengers were robbed of their
watches and money. The matter pos
sesses somewhat of local interest
from the fact that H. w. Mari, OF the
Stewart & Holmes Drug Co, was one
OF the victims. Mr.. M. was resident
OF this place in youth. and his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Mari, reside here.
He was relieved OF about $40 in money
