Unhappy the bride that the Fain rains
on" whispered one old dame.
Married in blackr' shuddered anoth-
err; while third shook her head, Aas she
muttered: Married in haste, repent at
leisure"
But all unconscious of il-omen, Syl-
phide Courtlandt passed out of the porc2
to receive spiteful dash of rain, like
icy tears, upon her brow and to be salut-
ed by the muttering of distant thunder
from the leaden heavens.
Meanwhile, the scene outside the
church had been in startling contrast
to tne solemn, peaceful proceedings
within. Soon after the bridal pair had
entered, and the crowd had surged into
the porch, filling every crack and crevice,
a horseman had ridden up at break-neck
speed, dismounted at the graveyard wall,
and tethered his foaming steed to syca-
more that grew hard by. He was breath
less, and covered with mud from hard
riding, though his dark face was flush
ed and his deep-set black eyes fairly
scintillated.
There is no denying the fact that he
is handsome man, handsome in a fierce,
brutal way; young man, too, scarcely
thirty, but bearing the traces Of prema-
ture age, which dissipation ever sets up
on the countenances of its votaries.

DIE IN a WRECK.
Two Persons Killed and Many Hurt
at Madison, Ill.


Mt Madison, Ill.
A frightful railroad accident occurred
at Madison, H., a suburb of st. Louis,
Friday. Two persons were killed out
right and many more were injured, sew
cral probably fatally.
The train was a Union Terminal sub
urban, carrying people to work. The
accident was caused by the derailing of
the engine. 1t left the track and plung-
ed into mud up to its driving wheels.
The train was moving at high rate of
speed and the engine took with it a num-
Der of cars. They crashed into one an
other, tearing up the track for sixty feet.
The train of eight coaches was filled with
people going to work. Scarcely Il passen-
ger escaped injury.
One car was completely filed with
women, and their hysterical screams,
mingled with those of the injured and
dying, were heartrending. One woman's
head was crushed between two cars. An
other girl was cut in two. The scene was
narrowing. Many women worked brave
ly to relieve the suffering of the injured
Though themselves badly bruised they
went from one to another of the help
less, giving them what comfort and help
they could.
