TROLLEY AND FREIGHT TRAIN.
They Collide in Chicago, with n Re-
suit that One Man Is lead and
Many Wounded.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-One man was
killed and a dozen men, women and
children more or less seriously in
jured in a collision, Sunday night, be-
tween a Western avenue electric train
and a Chicago, Burlington 6 Quincy
freight train at the Eighteenth street
crossing. The motor and trailer,
which made up the electric train, was
crowded with passengers, and it seems
a miracle that SO many escaped in
slant death. The dead mans name
was Hugh Curran.
A mistake of the f1agman at the
crossing was responsible for the acct
dent. The freight, which consisted of
AZ cars with an engine at either end,
broke in two as it neared Western
n The front part of the train
passed the crossing and the fagman,
not noticing the remaining portion of
the train coming at full speed, half a
block away, pulled up thu gates and
gave the signal that the crossing was
clear. The electric train, which had
been waiting for the train to pass,
started to cross the tracks and was
hit square in the middle by the last
half of the freight train. Both of the
street cars were overturned in the
ditch by the collision.

From Sunday, the day they were
wrecked, until Thursday, when they
were rescued, the survivors drifted 60
miles on the half submerged raft.
Several attempts were made to land
on the Three Kings islands, but with
out success. Three men died on Mon
day night from drinking salt water.
All of the survivors suffered the tor
lures of thirst, and four other men
and the stewardess died of exhaustion
before they were picked up by the
Penguin. They had a cruel disappoint-
ment on Tuesday night. A steamer
was sighted in the distance, and fran
tic shouts were raised by those on the
raft to attract attention. The steamer
lowered a boat, which passed within
fifty yards of them, but the boats crew
apparently did not see the raft, and
returned to their vessel.

ON THE LITTLE sUNFLowER.
The President Had a Sunday Dinner In Camp
of Roast Bear Paws. 'Possum
and 'Taters. ~

Smedes, Miss, Nov. 17.-Sunday was
a quiet day at the presidents camp on
the Little S~unlower. There was no
hunt, but the president and several
members of the party spent a couple
Of hours in the morning rambling
over the forest trails on their horses.
Dinner was the chief event of the day.
The menu included roast bear paws
and 'possum and sweet potatoes. Din
ner was served in camp style on a
rough pine board table set up in the
open air. Tin plates and tin cups were
used. There were not enough knives
and forks to &c around, and the col
ored cook announced to the amuse-
ment of everybody, as the party sat
down, that On account of the scarcity

them only to the colonel" Gas the
president is invariably called in camp

The president is enjoying his out

days of such complete freedom and
rest since he entered the White House.
The insurgent newspaper men re-
turned to the assault Sunday. Hay
ing been rcpulsed on the land side
by Mr.. Mangum's pickets, they re-
solved to try to effect an entry to the
camp by the water route. A boat was
chartered at Vicksburg, according to
the story in circulation here, and it
was reported to have left that place
at three O'Clock Sunday morning. The
route of the expedition is to be up
the Mississippi to tie mouth of the
Yazoo, thence up the latter river to
the Big Sunflower. The distance, owing
to the twists and bends in the river,
is over forty miles, but if the party
started it did not reach it's destina-
ton. The river men say there is now
a sand bar at the mouth of the Yazoo
which would stop any craft drawing
over IL inches.
The Chicago party which is hunting
with Bob Bobo's pack of hounds 20
miles north of here is reported to have
had better luck than the presidents
party, according to a message re-
ceived here. The party during the
last week bagged IL deer and four
bears. Holt Golfers dander is up,
and he vows that the colonel" will
not go home empty handed. His dogs

would hardly understand this-what,
What was the old cradle on the kitch-
en- floor for? And little Jerry and lit
tie John in it!
<Phineas Quimby stood still over the
old cradle and gazed down into it in
helpless bewilde1.nent. Had he lost
his wits, or had the years rolled
from his bent old shoulders and left
him standing there, strong and
straight, looking down at the crum-
pied faces of his little twin sons?
Was he young again? We're the old
age and the loneliness and the heart
break in his stubborn old soul only
a bad dream? And he was young
and had little John again-had both
his boys!
The babies stirred from their pIa-
cid browse, and one of them flung
out a lusty little fist and opened a
pair of wide blue eyes. Little John,
that n was! With an inarticulate
cry of tenderness and love, father
stopped and gathered the warm,
sweet morsel into his old arms, and
laid his grizzled head against it, in
the old, old way. Mother found him
so.
"Father. father!" she cried, from
the doorway. All her soul was in her
eager, old voice.

wake me up! I've got little John in
my arms"
In the quiet kitchen there was only
the sound of b~aby-crooning then.
Mother had lifted little Jerry, and
was grading him in her own arms.
The o sunshine lighted all their
faces, young and old. 1t was father
who spoke first, after awhile:

about it," he said, quietly. II know

"Here I am, father. I'm here!"
And it was John standing there in
the door, and father striding toward
him with his hands out! And it was

babies who lowered over them both

other. And for John himself there was
the cid message-"Your mother is
lovingyou, John" 1t was always there.
TO Jerry she wrote briefly. Jerry
was a busy man, with a hundred out
side interests-outside' of mother. His
letters to hef were wont to be rare and
short. but there was always a message
to father in them. She missed that i n
Johns long. tender letters.
I'm half afraid to write" she
thought, as she took up her pen; "Jer-
rvs folks have so many rich friends,
and so many places to go to-Tm afraid
they won't want to come" But she
dipped her pen in the ink and began.
MY dear boy"-she always began
her letters to both sons that way-"My
dear boy. your father says to put on
all your bonnets, every one of you, and
come to the old home to keep Thanks
giving. He's quite set upon it. You
know-you haven't forgotten, dear?-
that it is our golden wedding Thanks
giving, and it's time you came! Think
of having a father and mother so years
married and not coming! Your father
says to say he has waited as long as he
can-and you must come home or he
will disown you! And he is in earnest,
dear! He is hungry for a sight of your
face. And your mother-dear boy,
come right home quick! Iwant to kiss
you all"
Both letters were sealed, and then
she directed them in her quavery,
quaint little hand. But her face was
grave enough.
I'm afraid Jeary's folks won't want
to come, and l don't know what Phin-
cas- would do if they didn't. He's
set his heart. We ought not to have
waited till the last minute-I don't
see why we did. There won't be time
TOT them to answer-oh. dear, they
haven't been home for so long, and !
can't help thinking they won't want
to come now!"
But she went briskly to work with
her preparations. She cooked and
cooked till the shelves in her neat
pantry groaned under their loads.
Jerry's folks could not have cleared
them in a week. She made the mince
pies aile way the boys had always
liked them, long ago. She made a mo-
lasses sauce for the pudding because
they had been fond of that kind.
AND she made two little saucer pies
she had never failed to make, long
ago. They were pumpkin pies, and
she crimped the edges carefully.
"Jerfy's girls are grown up, and
maybe they won't care for them
maybe nobody WILL" she thought,
but I always made them for the
boys, and l said l would to-day. Only
l hoped, then, that Johns folks
would come. l hoped till the last
minute
1t was the last minute now, and
mother had given up. She had set

the long table with her whitest linen
and her prettiest dishes. Then she
had dressed herself in her best dress
and sat down to wait. She was quite
pale. Mother was a little afraid of
Jerry's folks. She wished Phineas
were here to help her receive them,
but he had been called away unex-
pcctedly, and would not be back
much before dinner time. One of the
neighbors had needed him.
Somewhere down the road sounded
the rumble of stage wheels, and
mother got up, nervously, and stood
on the floor, listening. 1t was such
a pity Jerry's folks had had to come
up in he stage! Hark!-yes, it was
turning into the lane. 1t was almost
here. She must go to the door and
meet them. A strange, girlish shy
ness swept yer the little old figure,
and two spots of pink color bios
somed in her wrinkled' cheeks.
The rumble ceased. A confusion of
voices greeted mothers ear-sweet,
shrill little voices, with the bubble of
laughter running through them. And
then, above them all, a mans deep
voice called: Mother! Mother,
where are you?" What did it all
mean-for it was Johns voice call
ing! IT was Johns wife getting out
Of the stage, and Johns little chill
dren chattering and bubbling! Johns
folks!
Mother found herself at the door
in the midst of them all, and her
wonder and faint dismay were
drowned in the sweetness and JOY of
their coming and the warm rain of
their kisses on her face.
There were SO many little voices in
her ear, SO many little arms around
her neck! And John was there-a
big, bearded John, with little Johns
love in his voice! There was no room
for dismay at all-only joy. 1t was
later when the mystery had cleared
itself away and it was. almost time
for Phineas to come that the dismay
came back. Dear land, what would
Phineas say?
Mother stole away by herself and
looked things in the face. She had
not told John that it was all a mis-
take, and that his letter had gone to
Jerry and Jerry's invitation come to
him. 1t was all clear enough now to
mother, but she had not told John.
How could she? In a moment the
joy was overwhelmed in the utter
dismay. For Phineas would be home
soon, very soon.
Something must be done. The lit
tie children-if the father should see
Johns children, would they not plead
for him? No, wait-the babies
