Michael Whites Fatal Injury Sur
 pris His Many Friends
 An old friend of Michael White, who was killed at the branch yesterday, told a Democrat reporter to-day that when he picked up the paper last night and read the article regarding the death of MT White he could scarcely believe it. He had been talking to him a couple of days ago and never saw him in better health and spirits. MT Whites body was brought to Water bury to-day and taken to the residence of his daughter. The accident com pletely unnerved the employees of La on the job during the rest of the after on the job during the rest of theafter- noon. The company seems to be play ing in rather hard luck so far as seri- ous accidents are concerned. Last year one of their employees was killed at the north end dam and this one coming so soon after it makes things a kind of bad for them.

WORSHIP THE GOLDEN CALF


 When saw a dying broker clutch the cyphered tape at the ticker as he watched his fortune ebbing away; when the maddened throng, in their frenzy lost to all sense of the mystery of life and death, hustled out the body of the dead broker that there might be more room for stampede in the sagging market; when the gilded sign was erased from the marble slab, announc- ing another failure; when saw strong men tremble with lip and eyelid, and burst into tears; when saw the hag- gard face of grey-haired women in weeds and the fading blight upon the beauty of American girls; when the storm of wild and piteous shrieks filled the air, thought if these scenes and emotions were connected with any thing else-it would be called religious or political fanaticism.
 We call it trade-business- .'operations; the Genius of gambling is defied and on the altar glitters the grinning Golden Calf. Frequent warn ings may be of no avail, but the hand writing flashed forth on the heavy clouds, proclaiming to vaulting ambi- tion, OCT leaping itself. Halt!-The National Magazine for June.
