BRYAN IN KENTUCKY.
Memorial Services In Honor of GOe.

Memorial Services I'm Honor of Goe-
 bel at Frankfort.
 FRANKFORT, Ky, Feb. 4 .Wil- liam Jennings Bryan spoke here by invitation Of the Kentucky legislature to crowd that filled the Capital thea ter. Both bodies of the general as- sembly adjourned and held memorial services in honor of the late Governor William Goebel in the hall of the house of representatives. MT. Bryan and several members of the legislature made eulogistic addresses, and an orig inal poem was red. Religious services at the grave were conducted by Dr. Arnold
 MT. Bryan was introduced by Gov ernor Beckham, who in presenting him said that, though twice defeated, he was the best loved citizen in public life. Before MT. Bryan began speak ing the lights were turned out for an instant, and as they returned a life size picture of William Goebel came into view.
 Referring to the late Governor Goe- bel, Mr. Bryan said his assassination was encompassed by corporate tnflu- ences that had determined he should never be governor. He said the man who wrote to Goebe1 that he should never be governor is alive now, and his name Is mentioned in connection with the chairmanship of the Demo cratic national committee.
 Mir. Bryan devoted some time to Grover Cleveland, saying that he be- lieved President McKinley's indict- ment of MT. Cleveland, in which Mr. Cleveland was charged with making money the master of man, was cor rectly drawn.
 MT. Bryan said he did not want a reorganization of the Democratic par ty because he did not want the party fo take the chance of falling into the hands of the money power. Commer- cialism in politics, he declared, was now the greatest menace to the coun- try. He said he had heard of one pre- cinct in Delaware where all the votes were bought, and one auctioned off brought $50.
 He said the money question was no more dead now than it was in 1896 and discussed at length trusts and mo- nopolies, which, he said, were being fostered under the Republican policy. He also criticised President Roose- yeIt's policy toward Cuba and on the Panama question.

! DOWN THIRTY FEET.
IntercoloniaI Express Plunged, Into
 the Shubenacadie.

s HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. 4.-One dead three fatally and twenty five seriously injured is the revised casualty list in the wreck of the Intercolonial express train the five cars Of which left the rails at Hunters Crossing, forty miles west of this city, and plunged down a thirty foot embankment into the Shu- bcnacadie river. Every one of the thir- ty passengers suffered more or less se- Iious injuries, as did the ten members of the train crew.
 Dead Mrs.. J ohm Gfassey, Halifax q
 Fatally injured: Conductor Robert Duncan, Halifax; Baggagemaster J. E. Blair, Halifax, and an Armenian ped- dler, name not known. Many others are most seriously injured.
 The relief train, bearing the body of Mrs. Glassey and those most seriously < injured, has reached here from the scene of the wreck, and the injured were removed to the hospital.
 The train, consisting of locomotive, postal car, baggage car, two day coach es and Pullman car, was bound from this city for Montreal and Boston and travelling forty miles an hour when the accident occurred.
 As the curve. at Hunters Crossing was reached Engineer Ross felt jolt and, looking back, saw the baggage car swerve from the rails, followed by the coaches and the mail ear. The. five cars went over the embankment and rolled down into the river, which skirts the roadbed at this point.
 The Pullman turned over twice. One of the coaches struck tree and was ripped open from end to end. The other cars landed bottom up In the water, which fortunately was less than two feet deep.
 Mrs. Glassey was hurled across one of the day coaches and instantly killed, her skull being crushed Con ductor Duncan, who was in the bag gage car, was buried under pile of trunks. His head was crushed, his legs broken and his body cut and bruised. Baggagemaster Blair had his scalp torn off and is bleeding to death. The Armenian peddler, who was riding in one of the day coaches, had nearly every. bone in his body broken. Gar Inspector Hudd was pinned beneath ! T < the wrsckage and only released with the aid of jackscrews an hour after the accident. Postal Clerk E. A. Hart ling escaped with painful bruises. Of the others who are seriously injured many had broken limbs, but 1t is be lieved that none but the three men toned as fatally injured will die. The accident is supposed to have re suited from some defect in the wheels of the truck of the car which first left the. track. A broken rail was at first thought to have wrecked the train, but investigation showed that this was not the case. The overturned cars carried down the telegraph wires, and com municatfon between Hunters Crossing and this city was not re-established for several hours. Traffic on the road was resumed at a late hour.

Do geese .'quack''? NO says the observant critic, geese do not quack, but they squsek." It is the ducks that quack, and the story of the goose go ing about from day to day with a ''quack, quack, quack," is declared to be without good foundation. There is, indeed, quite difference In the vo. cabulary of these feathered creatures. But it requires a sharp ear to discover the difference.

Gamblang at Golf.

Z ssa Although we have not yet reached the gambling goIf' stage of the discus sion upon the desirability or not ot playing golf for 8 stake, the question is being discussed with some fervor. There can be no doubt that the gambling taint has touched the royal and ancient game and that there are many players who have grown to look upon it as insipid without the incentive of something on the match. .''--London Court Journal.
