A Distressing Accident.

Mr.. Joseph Ellis, living on south
Washington street, was the victim OF a
serious accident late yesterday evening
while on his way home from a cunning
trip in lower Fairfax county. Hehadjust
passed over Hunting creek bridge and
was proceeding along the north causeway
with his double-barrei gun on his should
err. He was holding the firearm at an
angle of about forty-five degrees when 1t
was suddenly converted into two pieces,
by a pin which holds the barrels to the
stock working loose and falling out.
The stock fell behind Mr.. Ellis and the
barrels in front of him. The latter
struck a stone in the road which dis
charged the contents of both chambers
into Mo. Elliss rig hit leg, SCATTERING the
bone and making a terrible wound. A
youny man who was with him at the
time succeeded in procuring assistance
and the won nded man was conveyed to
the Alexa ndria Hospital. DR.. Purvis
soon app cared and made an examna-
ton. There was but one way in which
to save the unfortunate mans life and
that wa to amputate the shattered limb
and the doctor, assisted by Drs. Smith
and Delaney, took the leg off at The knee.
Mr. Ellis was resting easy today. The
accident was peculiar and one not to
have been anticipated.

at Sideburn, in Fairfax county, short
distance southwest OF this city. Three
locomotives were virtually demolished
and two freight cars smashed. One OF
the trains was a double-header and the
other was drawn by single locomotive.
But one person was hurt-a fireman OF
one of the engines-and he only slightly.
The track was not cleared until about
one o'clock this morning. For several
hours passenger trains were held up on
both sides of the wreck. A new depot
building has recently been erected at
Sideburn-a structure superior to the
station in this city-and passengers aud
members ofthe crews ofthe wrecked trains
attempted to enter it for shelter. They
found it locked, however, and minus
stove. In the meantime the north
wind was moaning through the trees and
ice forming in the brooks. Some com
bustibles were gathered anda fire started
which was fed by railway ties until the
track was cleared and the trains allowed
to move.

The Rest Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe.]
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle Of
the night by a whoop from one of the
children. The Group remedies are al
most as sure to be lost in case OF Group
as a revolver is to be lost in case Of burg
lars. There used to be an Oldfashioned
remedy for Group, known as hive syrup
and tolu, but some modern mothers say
that Chamberlain Cough Remedy is
better, and does not cost so much. 1t
causes the patient to a throw up the
phlegm" quicker, and gives relief in
shorter time. Give this remedy as soon
as the croupy cough appears and it will
prevent the attack. 1t never fails and
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale

that SO long as British railways have the
primitive four-wheeled wagons In Use they
cannot very materially reduce their work
ing expenses.
He submits the following comparative
statement:
