of four years, as she gazed eagerly at
the cushion full of sparkling orna-

How much is it?" she asked, after
making very deliberate choice and
laying her purchase money, bright
penny, on the counter. "Oh, nothing"
returned the kind-hearted Mrs. Briggs,
as Mary's mother was one of her regu-
lar customers. Imagine her amuse-
ment as the little bargain hunter"
said most eagerly: "I'n take two,
then."-

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Jan. 1S.-One

fatally injured and nine other persons
we're seriously hurt in head-on col.
lision between two passenger trains
on the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad at Keystone, twenty-five
miles west of here.
The westbound overland limited,
and an eastbound fast freight were
ordered to pass at keystone. A
freight train on the siding prevented
the eastbound passenger train from
pulling in on the switch. The pas.
senger train had run past the station
and was ready to back onto the siding
when the Overland limited, going at
the rate of Is miles an hour, crashed
into it.
Both engines were reduced to scrap
and the mail, baggage and chair cars
of the limited were wrecked.
The engineer escaped by jumping.

The crash was terrific. Passengers
were thrown into heaps and in the
panic that followed those who were
not pinioned beneath the debris,
broke windows and climbed out to
safety.
At first it was thought that many
people had been killed for the cries
of the injured indicated that many
were buried beneath the wreckage.
Word was sent to Cedar Rapids and
soon a special train, equipped with
surgeons and supplies, was sent from
Marion. The injured were brought to
the hospital here.

NEGRO AssAsslNATED.

While he was driving along the
Hodges Ferry road William Stokes, a
negro, so years old. was murdered by
An assassin in ambush who fired bull
let into his head, causing almost IN
stantaneous death. Stokes was on his
way to his home in Hattonsyille, about
three and half miles from Norfolk,
when he was assassinated. His wife
was seated beside him in the country
wagon when the bullet that killed him
was fired from the bushes.
The woman. terribly frightened, was
afraid to cry out, she said, for fear that
she. too, would be shot. She took the
the reins and drove on for about half
mile, and then aroused persons living
near the road and told them what had
occurred. When DIR. Roper. the core
ner, arrived, he found the murdered
negro sitting upright in his seat. The
assassin's bullet penetrated the right
side OF Stokes head, back Of the ear,
and emerged below the ear on the LETT
side.
The man g wife told the constabulary
something about some threats that had
been made against her husband, and
later Joseph Myers, negro, was ar
rested, it being alleged that he IS the
negro who had previously threatened
Stokes.

MAY SAVE THE LORDS.

II is seen now that the British gov
ernment will return with substantially
the same majority as it had before the
dissolution OF parliament, and the
future course OF the elections has loss
live interest than the question OF what
will happen when parliament actually
meets. This forms the subject OF a
very determined discussion IN the col
umns Of the party newspapers ana IN
the speeches OF public men.
Lord Rosebery said ut the beginning
of the elections in a speech that should
the government suffer loss OF only
five seats it could not pass the veto
bill. This contention has been taken
up by the unionist press. which argues
that unless the government secures al
increased majority it will have no man
date to deal with he House of Lords.
The liberals, on the other hand, con-
tend that not only will the govern
ment have majority larger than that
of former strong uni mist ministers,
but that tho nation hpS now thrice IN
succession given the liberal govern
ment vote OF couflenc'
To this the unionists rcpg that the
question of change in the crnstitu-
ton is on quite different plane t!'i"
ordinary legislation aud they point on
that specific maiorities are required IN
the United States and in other countries
before the constitution can be changed.
Everybody, however, appears to lie
in the dark as to the actual possibilities
OF the situation and many are OF the
opinion that it may still be settled by
negotiation and compromise.
Both sides appear equally confident
OF gaining a few more seats the coming
week. Up to the present 504 seats out
OF GO have been filled The relative
position OF the two parties is exactly
the same in the u W parliament as in
the old, each having gained twenty-onc
seats from the other.

PRESENCE OF MIND OF PRIEST

Rev. James ]. Kane, rector OF st.
Raphaels Roman Catholic Church,
in Philadelphia, yesterday morning
probably prevented injuries to many
OF his congregation il not several
deaths from panic when he calmly
continued chanting the 10 O'Clock
mass in the church while smoke from
a fire in the basement poured through
the cracks in the floor just beneath
the altar rail, later to be followed by
flames.
The fire apparently had been
smouldering for long time, having
caught from an overheated furnace.
During the mass the church sexton
notified the priest that the building
was on fire and received whispered in
structions to call the fire department
and attack the flames with the fire ex-
tinguishers with which the building was
supplied.
After giving these instructions
Father Kane calmly went on with the
services. At the end the smoke became
so dense that the congregation could
hardly see the priest, but could hear
his voice coming to them through the
pail OF smoke.
With the mass over the members
Of the congregation, Of whom fortu-
nately there we're few, owing to the
inclement weather, started in mad
rush for the doors. Calmly Father
Kane stepped before the altar rail
and notified the panic-stricken persons
that the service was not over until
they had left the edifice and that
they we're supposed to go out quietly
and not like a lot OF stampeded cattle.
The calmness of the priest reassur-
ed the members of the congregation
and they passed quietly into the street.
Immediately afterward Father Kane
Invested himself Of his ecclesiastical
garments and became a real tirehght,er
to such good purpose that when the
fire department arrived the fire was
under control.
