LOVE LEADS TO DISASTER.
Widow of n Locomotive Engineer
Fails to Recover Damages Be
cause Kiss Caused Wreck.

The supreme court of Ohio has af-
firmed the judgment Off the superior
court of Cincinnati against Mrs. John
G. Price, who brought suit for $4,000
damages for the DEATH of her husband,
an engineer on the baltimore e. Ohio,
who was killed in a collision.
1t was Prices habit when the train
passed his house to throw a kiss to
his wife, who was always on the look
out for the expected greeting. One
day the look toward the home and
woman that he loved proved fatal.
On account of the presence Of Van
derbilt special train on the road sched-
ules had been disarranged and but a
short distance from the spot where
Prices home stood was train wait
ing on the track. Disaster would have
been averted had the engineers eyes
been fixed on the track ahead. The
casualty was one of the worst that
ever happened in Cincinnati, half a
dozen persons being killed and many
injured.

pie"
This account of that interview,
continued Mr.. Vest, substantially
and almost word for word as have
given it, came to me from Stephens
and Mr.. Hunter"
Mr.. Vest said that he considered it
his duty to make this statement in
order that history might not betalsi-
fed; in order that the men who were
said TO have refused this offer at the
hands of President Lincoln should
not be made to sin their graves, add
ing, For if they had refused what
was said TO have been rendered to
them by the President they would
have been accessories to the murder
of every man who fell from that time
in defense of the Confederate cause,
and they SHOULD have given the lie to
the intentions which they professed
when they risked everything, every
thing that is held dear amongst men,
in defense of the Confederate cause. "
While the deep silence still reigned
in the chamber as he spoke, ahd with
every eve directed toward him, Mr..
Vest closed as follows: 1T may be
but very short time until sha
join the twenty-five colleagues | had
in the Confederate Senate, and | did
not want the statement to go into
the record of this country without
