Pensacola, Fla., Nov. 19.—A shocking accident, which will probably result fatal ly, occurred on Palaiox street, just op posite the Convent of Mercy, this after noon. The convent school had just beau dismissed, and Gabriel Jordan, aged 11 yea; s, sou of Hubert Jordan, deceased, attempted to run across tho street, looking back at his companions and unaware of the approaching of a street car. As the car came the lad ran into one of the horses, which caused the latter to shy and jump forward, knocking the boy down across the track. The driver applied the brakes and the car, which was crowded with passengers, v, as almost immediately brought to a standstill When stopped one wheel was resting on the child’s body, and the passengers got out and rolled it off. He was carried home in a patrol wagon and medical aid summoned. The doctors are unable as yet to give an opinion, but it is hardly probable that the little fellow can survive the shock. Palmetto Pointers. Palmetto, Fla., Nov. 18.—The orange crop is proving to be very remunerative to the growers, aud there lias been some very rich beds of phosphate found on the Terreo Clia river.

MARRIAGE IN JAPAN. After Thirty-five Failures a Native Has Wedded His Thirty-sixth Bride. If wo are to believe the press of JaDan, writes James Payn, their view of matrimo nial happiness is far more sensible than that entertaiued at home. “The prineiole un derlying their whole marital relation is that the affection that makes mar riage happy is not the love which precedes union, but the respect, esteem, and sense of mutual helpfulness that grows up afterward." This is an admirable truth, though it bos been ignored bv nil the poets, and almost all the novelists, of Eu rope. It has. indeed, beau observed of life long friendship that it is hard that it should be superseded, and have, so to speak, “its nose put out of joint,’’ by a chit of a girl whom a man has only known for a week; but love is so vehement a passion that (for the time, at least) it sweeps all be fore it, and there is nothing for poor friend ship but to get out of the way, But t > compare this sudden flood, as we do—and even give it the pre-eminence— with the deep, strong current of married love, with all its common interests, and memories of sun and shade, is ludicrously false. That we sometimes haug ourselves because we cannot marry our first love is nothing to the purpose, for we certainly are in no position to estimate her value; we know nothing about her. “Our love is like all other loves, A little glow, a little shiver, A rosebud, and A pair of gloves, And Fly not yet’ upon the river." Is it reasonable that the loss of this, how ever attractive, stranger should be weighed in the same balance with that of the w:fe who has proved herself what, iu the former’s case, we have only hoped for, and who has Ual ved our sorrows and doubled our joysl Yes, it is the lover balked of his mistress upon whom all tho sentiment of fiction is lavished; it ha3 not a word of pity lor the widower, though it makes plenty of fun of him it lie marries again. One can only suppose that this distortion of the mir ror of life arises from the fact that it is chiefly young people who lead novels, and that those ohildren of Mammon, the novelists, appeal to tho sympathies of their best clients. In Japau (where there ave no serials) peo - plo have more common sense. Of one Jap anese. indeed, we read that tn his efforts to secure ati ied and faithful partner, “whose respect, esteem, etc , should grow up after ward," he has married no less tUan five-a id thirty obit* of girls, ail of whom have dis appointed expectation, a id. still in hopes, he has just been united to his thirty-sixth bride.

A Lake Keuka Chicken That Can't Forget the Fun She Bad Eight Years Ago. From the Xeu> York Sun. Hammonpsport, Not. 8. —Linn Mason of this village has a 9-year-old hen on his farm in the town of Pultney that has a long memory. The first brood she ever batched was from a setting of ducks’eggs. She was exceedingly proud of her family, and after they were a few days old she wandered with them through the vineyard toward Lake Keuka. The ducklings no sooner came in sight of the lake than they toddled toward it, unmindful of the calls of their hen mother or her distressed (agitation. They plunged into the wifeir, and at onoe were in the full enjoymenC| )f their natural element. The hen ran up and down along the sh re, calling frantically to hor brood, and manifesting her distre-B in vari ous ways But the ducklings paid no at tention to her, and sported their fluffy bodies about on the water. By and by, seeing that no harm catne to her brood from the con tact with the to her dangerous water, the hon quieted down, and it was not long be fore she seemed to be enjoying the antics of the ducklings in the lake as much as they were them selves. She watched them intern ly, occa sionally giving low and contented clucks, until the clucks were satisfied with their cuting and came iu and rejoined their guardian, who led them back home again. Every day after that the hen took her brood to the lake bright and early, and stood by aud watched them sporting in the water with as plain evidences of enjoyment of the scene as actions could give. She con tinued to take dally pleasure iu watching the young ducks in the lake until they grew out of her care, and even then she occasion ally strolled down to the water for an hour or s >, aud watched them as they swam. The next spring this lien was set on eggs of her own kind, and hatched out a tine brood of chicks. The first thing sho did when she got around with her new family was to lead tho chicks down to the lake. She seemed to be surprised w en they showed no inclination to go in the water, and tried to coax them in. Not succeeding in thnt, she picked up a chick in her bill end dropped it in the lake. She stood and watched the struggles of the chick in the water until it was drowned. That seemed to De a disappointment to her. She picked tip another chicken aud dropped it in th 6 lake. That one struggled in the same way, and soon died. This seemed to enrage the hen, and she grabbed another chick, tossed it in the water, then another and threw it in, and evidently intent on dumping the whole brood in tho lake in her disappointed rage, when one of the family, who had no ticed the strange action of the hen, ran to the rescue and drove the hen and the rest of the brood to the house and shut them up. The hen has hatched a brood of chickens every year since, and to test her recollection of her enjoyment of her first brood of duck lings in the lako she has been permitted to run at large with her broods. Not once has she lailed to lead them to the lake and try to induce them to go into the water, ending U P by grabbing a chick and tossing it in. when she is coraled and shut up again. If this ten has no memory, what has she got? A SOBNE AT AN ALTAR. A Woman's Futile Effort to Stop a Marriage Ceremony. Chicago, Nov. 2. —Miss Gertrule Howe wns about to bo married to Frederick Burke, at 217 South Hslated street, by Rev. Carl N. Moller, in St. Stephen’s Church, when a startling incident interrupted the ceremony. As the pastor recited the for mula as to whether any reason existed why the couple ought not to be married a tall, fragile, black-eyed girl, bearing a baby ia her arms, stepped forward and sternly said: "I forbid the marriage.” The church was crowded with friends who had come to witness the ceremony, and as this bomb shell declaration was uttered everybody started up with amazement. The groom’s ruddy face paled and he staggei ed as if he had received a mortal blow. The bride al most fainted at the altar steps. The cler gyman was aghaff at the unexpected turn of events. He demanded an explanation from the woman who had stepped out of a front pew to dispute the carrying out of the marriage ceremony. The groom recov ered his composure first and whispered to his best man to bring a paper from bis over coat pocket. The document was toon handed to the clergyman and evidently proved satisfactory, for the ceremony pro ceeded. The girl, who was Sarah Harris, pro tested, declaring Burke already had a wife and family in Canada, and also ho had promised to marry her before he had told her of his previous marriage. But before the altar steps the groom declared he was not married and that the woman, Sarah Harris, had signed the document, theu in the minister's hand, giving up all claims on him for the support of her and their child. Burke is a partner in the grocery store of Cairns & tiurko, at 217 South Halsted street. Miss Harris was a domestic at the residence of Mrs. Wilcox, of "285 West Adams street. Burke delivered the groceries week after week at the hous, aud it was during these visits he became infatuated with the pretty domestic. Miss Harris is a tall,black-haired, bkekeyed girl, with ciear-cut features, and she made sad havoc with the heart of the susceptible grocervuian. The first met in ■ December, 1888, and six months afterward became engaged. Burke deferred tho mar riage time after time, and in Ap ii, this year, a baby was born. Five weeks before the birth Miss Harris procurred a warrant for his arrest, and he was arraigned before Justice White. He then swore he had a wife and family in Canada, and was discharged. Weak and ill, and with no friends to help her in her great trouble, Miss Harris signed a paper giving up all claims on Burke for SIOO and the payment of the doctor’s foe*. Thursday morning Miss Harris was startled to hear her betrayer was to be married. She wont to see tho bride and tald her the story of her sufferings and desertion. The groom was sent for, but, he in a fashion, explained the matter away. Then the deceived woman went to the church determined to frustrate the marriage of a man who already had a wife and family in Canada. But she was again doomed to disappointment, and she turned away from the’church sick at heart and weary of the web of deceit that had been woven around htr. To support herself aud baby she works in Talbot Freeman’s restaurant every night, leaving her child in her room at 90 South Peoria stroet. A CLERGYMAN’S CONFESSION,. He Shocks his Congregation and They Believe He Is Insane. From tin Sew York Sun. Stockton, Cal., Nov. 17.—The Rev. D. L. Munroe, pastor of the Presbyterian church which has the largest and most fashionable congregation, created a sent a tion yesterday when, without warning, he made a confession of his sins to his hearers. He said ten years ago he bad improper rela tions with a woman on the promise of mar riage, which he didn’t expect to fulfill. Since then he had married, but had unduly admired various members of his flock, whom ho covered with confusion by naming them. Ho said most, of his improper thoughts came to him w.ieu going home witn at tractive sisters from prayer meetings. He said he proposed tojjoin the Baptists and do pennance by preac-iug to fallen women in dives. His remarks caused the greatest sensa tion in town, where married and single ladies whom he named are prominent. Tne most charitable construction to place on his remarks is that he insane. He declares that God commanded him to make this confcsiion from the pulpit. A church meetiug is is to bo held, and be will proba bly be asee.l to step down and out.

From the yew York Ti met. Harrisburg, Nov. 17. —The democrats of Dillsburg, a small village in York county, and the birthplace of Senator M. 8. Quay, celebrated the victory of Nov. 4 in a de cidedly novel manner the other day. The house in which the junior senator was first eeeu aud heard is stiff standing in that town. It is now owned by a democrat, and he con ceived the idea that it would be an appropri ate thing to drape the house in mourning because of Quay’s defeat in the state. Ac.ing upon the thought, he, with the assistance of some of his friends, decorated the whole building with black material. The snutters were closed, and there Was a soinbreness about the building which seemed to be made more effective by an area in deep mourning erected before the front door. Suspended from the arch was a banner with a heavy black border, on which were the words “At Kest” in large black letters. The grape arbor leadlug from the front door to near the gate was also draped, and just inside the gate was an arch, from which was nuug a banner on which was inscribed “M. 8. Quay-. Born Oct. 30, 1833. Died Nov. 4, loao.” Every inhabitant of the town walked to the house, and as each democrat came along he showed his appreciation by joining in thee jeers for Pattison. The republicans were disgusted, and their humiliation was discernible upon their laces. Many farmers came in from the country to see the house ill mourning, and as the shades of night cast a pall over the building the surroundings were even more somber. Long after night tae democrats congregated and gave a parting cheer. The next day ail traces of mourning were re moved. PETRI eIED BODY EXHUMED. Tho Remains of a Girl Burled Threa Years Ago Turned to Stone. Sunbcry, Pa., Nov. Iff—Some days ago James Sewell of this place purchased a burial lot in Pomphrct Minor cemetery and prepared to remove the bodies of deceased members of his family from the Sunbury cemetery for transfer t the new lot. The first grave opened was that of his daughter. Miss Ella Sewell, who died iu 1887. The workmen were unable to lift the body out of the open grave, and assistance was sent for. It required seven strong men to lift the casket. When the lid was removed, to the surprise of ail the spectators, tho body was found to be in a perfect state of petrification. Even the flowers placed in the casket were petrified. Except for its marble-like pallor and slightly sunken cheeks tho body looked like that of a peacefully sleeping girl. In life Miss Sewell was an attractive brunette, with dark hair. When the body was viewed hor hair had turned to snowy white. Ex perts assign as the cause of the marvel the damp condition of the ground, occasioned by tile exceptional floods of June, 1889. WENT TO CHURCH IN HER BLEEP.

SHE IS CURED. An Omaha Malden Who Won't Wear Tights on the Stage. From the St. Ijau.it Remthlic. Si. Joskph, Mo.. Nov. 15.— Miss Isabelle Hastings, the daughter of a prominent Omaha oltizen, was possessed of a longing for the stage which must have grown into an unconquerable desire, for last Tuesday she requested a situati .n with E. A. Stevens, manager of the Pearl of Pekin Company. Although the youngdady confessed that the had Dover figured as a footligat fairy, she was engaged and came to St. Joseph with the company Wednesday afternoon. That evening the fun began. Mr. Stevens told her that she bad been assigned a place among the chorus of French maids and that she was to appear in tights. Miss Hasti gs was horrified, but at that time bowed her head in silence and went back to her room at the St. Charles hotel to meditate. On going to the thnater that evening, she told Mr. Stevens that she could not appear in tights. “Can’t, eh!” ejaculated the manager in amazement. "‘And why not, pray!” “Well, sir,” responded the pretty Omaha maiden, “if you think I’m going to stand in tights before every bald-beaded man in Missouri tor $6 a week and railroad fare you’re mistaken. I never have worn tights, and If I had known you expected me to sacrifice my modesty I would never have joined your company.” “Miss Hastings,” responded the manager. “I fear you are not of this earth. This evening you may wear a Chinese skirt so long that it may trip you.
