What Rufy Was Afraid Of.

He said it modestly enough-nOt at
all in a boastful way. You see, he was
only quoting grandma.
Il heard her say it couldn't help

course he couldn't help the soft little

cheeks, either When boy is and

that a tornado of suffocating gas
wrecked the buildings, asphyxiated
the people, fire then completing the

which has been made that asphyxiation
of the inhabitants preceded the burning
of the city. the gas being sulphuretted

in the city. The same tornado drove
the ships in the roadstead to the bot

and fired at Miss Suttle. The first
ball entered her back but the young
Iady's corset changed its course, and
no vital part was reached. An in
slant later q second shot rang out in
the little edifce, and this time Miss
Suttle with groan fell to the floor
between the seats. The bullet had en-
tered her back above the corset and
striking the shoulder blade, ranged
downward, entering the heart.
The church goers were astounded,
and for minute or two no one moved.
Taking advantage of this Lee backed
out of the door and started for the
woods on foot and escaped.
Miss Suttle was strikingly beautiful
young woman, and had recently been
graduated with high honors from a
college. 1t is said that she refused
Lees attentions, because she considered
herself above him socially.

A REMARKABLE ACCIDENT.
An Engine Performed a Feat the
Like of Which Has Viewer
Been Recorded.

st. Louis, May 24.-At 1886 Friday
morning 32 cars, heavily loaded with
grain, passed over the Merchants
bridge. Engine 81 was pulling, En-
CINE 6S pushing. All went well until
the head engine reached the steep
grade at the east end of the bridge.
Then. without any seeming reason,
Engine 81 jumped the track.
Before the front wheels had fairly
left the track they were sent flying
in the air by the communicated force
of the rear engine. For moment
they hung there, like the paws of a
ruge elephant, the read wheels mean
While running along on the track at
frightful velocity. Fireman Tooley
leaped for his life, and was seriously
injured. Engineer Linquist, with a
grim determination, remained in the
cab.
Then something happened which
has never happened before, probably
never will again, and is entirely mex
veering to the right, slowly descend
ed, while the rear wheels in turn
assembled until the stress broke the
heavy iron coupling between the Sec
ond and third cars. In another min
ute the ponderous engine had turned
itself completely around and leaped
squarely onto the track running
parallel to the one from which it had
taken it's fight.
With steam kissing from twisted
pipes the engine started on wild
race to death and destruction in an
opposite course. Down the track Of
the bridge it sped, passed the rest
of the train, turned off the bride, and
rapidly approached the foot of Bre-
men street. Linquist leaned from the
cab windown and waited.
At Bremen the engine tottered, and
with final exhaust of steam that /
sounded like a sigh, fell calmly over
on it's side.
When the rescuing party forced it's
way into the bank of steam, Linquist
was found at his post of duty, with
one hand still clutching the lever.
His back was broken. At the city hos
oital, few hours later, he passed
away without recovering conscious

MEMORIAL SERVICES
Conducted by the Md Fellows OF
Columbia.

One of the customs of Odd Fellow
ship-a custom that through years OF
usage, has come to be recognized as 6
sacred duty-is to decorate annually
the graves of their departed brothers
and hold memorial services in honor O
their memory This trust was beauti
fully exem plifed by Columbia Lodge
No. 81, 10. O. F., and Hope Rebekaf
Lodge No. 81 Sunday.
At 80 p. m. the members OF these
lodges assembled at their hall on South
Main street and marched to Rose Hill
Cemetery. An improvised platform
had been erected towards the rear OF
the cemetery, where the exercises were
held The programme carried out was
as follows:
Hymn by Choir-"We Sing Our
Honored Dead. )"
2-Prayer by Chaplain.
3-Ceremony by N. G. and Chaplain.
Hymn by Choir-"lt is Not Death
to Die, etc.
5-Oration by Hon. E. L. Gregory,
p G. NJ, of Mt. Pleasant.
6.-Decoration.
7-Song Be With You Till
We Meet Again.
s-Closing Ceremony by N. g., and
Chaplain.
The grafton by Mr.. Gregory was a
very able one, setting forth the plinci-
Piles of Odd Fellowship as inculcated in
their motto. Friendship, Love and
Truth. " The address was greatly en-
joyed by the large audience that
gathered to witness the exercise.
At The Met hodlst Church.
The memorial services were con-
tinued at the First Methodist church
in the evening at 8 O. clock, when DR..
A. s. Petite preached by re quest, a
sermon on "Odd Fellowship" TAX
ing as text for his discourse, God
is love- hdefined love as a prin
ciple, and said that love asserts itself
by ministering to the sick and dis
tressed, feeding the hungry and
clothing the naked. A test Of love
is obedience. and the person who loves
God will show his love by obeying
Him. He applauded the Odd Fellows
for their noble WORK of caring for the
widows and orphans and others in
need. but Odd Fellowship, he said,
fell :, short of religion in this: that |
their work Was confined principally |
to their order. while true Christianity

He warned them against the mistake
made by many-that they can get for
giveness of their sins by their own
deeds of charity. Christianity re-
quires faith in God and obedience to
all of His commandments and chart
ty is only one of the principles of
Christianity.
The music for this service was es-
pecially good, the choir being assisted
by Prof. f. M. Hutsell and Miss
Maude Walker. The former sang
Jesus Lover of My Soul" in rich,
beautifully modulated voice. and
Miss Walker rendered splendid solo

Gounod. Her beautiful voice was never
heard to better advantage, and her
reputation as q soloist was very much

tice and study.
