Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 15.—A wreck had
carred out on one of the divisions of a
*d centering here, and the waiting room
the union depot was pretty well filled
th engineers and conductors eager to hear
i news and catch the first glimpse of the
fated train as It swung under the shed,
was 11 o'clock, and the train was due
ir since 8. It was chilly, cold weather,
i the men were huddled about the fire
raising about the cause of the run-off
and telling their 'experiences on the road.

running dovn to the swamp and hiding,
but I didn'thave time to deliberate. The
trains were tinning like the devil, headed
toward eaoh other, and nothing under the

and killing hundreds of people.
“I ra n bad to the office to catch the

there was no tffice there. I asked the sta

hold the trails but it had been gone twenty
minutes. Both trains were flying along
between telegraph stations and noth

somebody brought news from the wreck. I
calculated that in fifteen minutes the trains
would meet. I aroused the day operator

The surveying corps of the Mexican Gulf,
Pacific and Puget Sound railroad, which is
projected from Pensacola to the Mississippi
river, have reached Pensacola from Kutaw,
Ala., the terminus of the road.
Tne locomotives for the Jaffa and Jerusa

bear the names of Jerusalem, Rarnleh and
Jaffa. A Philadelphia company has the
honor of supplying the motive power.
Here is a little road that pays. The
January statement of the Wrighcsville and
Tennille railroad shows the net earnings
for that month to be $4,888 46, which is
over 4 per cent on the capital stock of the
company, or about 30 per cent, more than
for the corresponding month of last vear.
Recent statistics show that the French
railways annually kill one person out of
each 2,000,000 carried, while in England
21,000,000 are carried before one meets a
violent death in a railway aocident, French
railways annu illy wouud one passenger out
of each 500,000 carried, English one in each
750,000, Belgium one in each 1,650,000, and
Prussia only one in each 4,000,000.
The Reading Railroad Company has
taken an important ste:> in ordering auto
matic couplings for more than 5,000 new
cars, which will also have air-brake appli
ances. The order calls for more than 3,000
coal cars, 1,000 gondolas, 1,000 box cars and
50 stock cars. The rolling stock will cost
the company $3,000,000, and the extra cost
of couplers will amount to $125,000.
Charles Watts, superintendent of the
Chicago division of the Pi ttsburg, Fort
Wayne and Chicago road, claims that the
fastest time ever made on an American
railway was on that road lately. His of
ficial report showed that this special train
ran fifty-three miles in forty-five minutes,
eleven miles of which were covered in seven
minutes, or at an average speed of ninety
four miles an hour.
The colored people of Louisiana have or
ganized an equal rights association to force
the railroads to give them the same accom
modations that the whites have. A similar
organization is to bo established in Ala
bama. The leaders of the movement claim
that the Central of Georgia and the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia roads are
the only ones iu the state that give them
accommodations equal to the whiles.
A colored lad has obtained a judgment of
$5,000 at Raymond, Miss., in a suit against
the Alabama and Vicksburg road for in
juries reoeived by being struck by an en

attorney claiming that he had received no
notice of the suit. Evidence was given,
however, to shdw that notice bad been
served, and as no defense was made the
company is left without the right to appeal
the case.
The New York, New Haven and Hart
ford has added to its equipment a oar

it are two large staterooms 12 feet long and
6 feet wide. It is also supplied with four
sleeping sections, with no upper berths,
and has vestibule chairs, sofa scats and

ROUND ABOUT GOTHAM.
MISS WILLING’S CONQUEST AND
ITS SOCIAL S GNIFICANCE.
How Cupid, Slightly Assisted by Cir
cumstances, Shot an Arrow at Close
Range—Gossip About Two Notable
Families.
(Copj-rtgAf.)
Nkw York, Feh. 14. —The marriage of
John Jacob Astor and Miss Ava Ridgway
Willing, on Tuesday, will unite the royal
families of New York and Philadelphia.
Mrs. William Astor, mother of “Jack,” is
the queen of society in the metropolis;
while Mr a Edward S. Willing reigus in a
sphere so high that several of her own near
relatives will never get into it.
In the time of William Penn, the Willing*
obtained large grants of land from the
crown, and from Penn hiiuseif. This
method of acquiring real estate was con
sidered a geo 1 thing in those davs, and it
certainly had its advantages over the
modern method cf paying hard cosh for
undeveloped town lots in western deserts.
It established the Willings upon a footing
which has always remaiued firm. They are
not so rich as the Astors, but they have
alwsvs been able to enjoy the costly luxury
of social prominence.
“Tnere are, unhappily, no orders of no
bility iu my country,” said one of Mbs
Willing’s ancestors to a foreign potentate,
“but, if there were, I should be the Duke of
Pennsylvania.”
However, in spite of Miss Wllliug’s
descent from a mail who came so near being
a duke, I am strongly of the opinion that
an alliance with her family was uot sought
by Mrs. Astor. The match pleases Jack,
and his mother conseuts. To understand
how Jack was brought to this state of mind
(if any notion of his can thus be designated)
one must appreciate the many attraction i
of tile young lady, the tender solicitude of
her mother, and the evideut de-ire of Fata
to perpetrate a record-breaking pun by
marrying the host catch of the day to a
daugnter of the house of Willing.
A non? the attractions aforesaid is the
cunningcst little French accent ever heard
in these parts No native of France could
possibly have acquired it, but Miss Willing
picked it up during her stay of some years
in I'nris, where her education was perfected.
She mispronounces several English words
so prettily os to give bewitching effect to
language which oa another girl's lips would
seem commonplace. But fate would have
ensnared Jack if this delightful eccentricity
hadn’t. It is wonderful, the way these
young people have been thrown together
during the last two years. When Juck was
in Paris with his mother a year or so ago,
the Willings arrived unexpectedly at the
same hotel. Jaok was so moved by this
coincidence that he packed up his bagirago
and went over to London. This was done
with Mrs. Astor’s full approval.
When the Astors returned to this country
they w ent to Newport. The Williugs re
turned shortly after and also went to New
port. Later the Astors went to Le.ox, but
the separation was brief, as the Willings
had also arranged to spend a part of the
summer in Lenox. There the two young
people were seen one day walking in a leafy
road, and Jack looked as if he were saying
something of importance. As he had
never been known to do such a thing before,
his friends at once surmised that he had
been deeply affected. This was last sum
mer, and the e igagement had been spoken
of in print the previous March, but had
been vigorously denied by all oonoertied,
especially by Miss Willing, in New York
the Willings live at the Cambridge, which
makes them next door neighbors of Mrs.
William Astor. Thus it is seen that Cupid
did not have to make any long shots. When
they are married they will probably live
with Jack’s parents, who, it is said, will
soon ereot anew palace at a point on Fifth
avenue not so closely besieged by trade as
the present residence, on the oorner of
Thiity-fourth street.
Everybody wishes them happiness. JfR
used to be a hard boy to get along with,
For instance his playful ways on board his
father’s yacht nearly created a mutiny. , it
is related that one day he saw a sailor lean
ing over the rail near the bow, and it oc
curred to him that it would be very funny
to stick an awl into the most exposed por
tion of the seaman’s anatomy. He did so,
and the hardy tar fell overboard with a tre
mendous howl, striking bis bead on the
anchor chain, which was not se.iously in
jured. The sailor, however, was rendered
unconscious, and might nave boon drowned
if a boat hadn’t been handy. On another
occasion it is said that he got a noose
around the cook’s nock, and was going to
give an imitation < f the execution of Capt.
Kidd, when he was dissuaded by some of
the sailors. The captain complained to Mr.
Astor, who admitted that Jack ought to be
punished, but said that be preferred not to
run the risk of doing it himself.
Jack went to Harvard college, where he
remained a year or two longer than roost
young men do, but failed to secure a de
gree. Ho is not a good student, though his
general build, ma n tier of locomotion, and
peculiarity of speech, suggest that eminent
pedagogue, Dominie Sampson.
There have been many misstatements
about the Astor family since this wedding
has been talked about, so perhaps it may be
well enough to briefly state the facts. Tne
original John Jacob Astor, who came over
from Waldorf, Germauy, iu 1784, bring
ing as his stocK in trade a few flutes and an
abundance of "bull luck,” left $20,000,090
to his sou, William 8., who doubled it, and
at his death divided it between his two sons,
John Jacob 11. and William. John Jacob
111., or “Jack,” is William’s son. William
Waldorf Astor is the sou of John Jacob 11.
He is said to be worth $100,000,000, which
is more than his ur.cle William (Jack’s
father) possesses. Jack, of course, has a
comfortable fortune in his own right, and
will pr obably be worth at least 170,000,000
some day.
The wife of William Waldorf, by the
way, was a Philadelphian. Her maiden
name was Paul. There has been much talk
of social rivalry between her an Mrs. Wil
liam Astor, aud doubtless Mrs. Jack’s en
ergies will be expected to assist the tri
umphs of her mother-in-law. When it is
remembered that Mrs. William Astor (as
a Scbermerhorn) considers herself superior
to her husband’s family, and that Mrs. Will
ing acknowledges no equal in Philadelphia,
the tremendous social leverage about to be
exerted may be estimated.
Mrs. Willing will bo remembered as hav
ing dared to sav that Quaker City society
was “brazon faced,” and having got her
self nicely talked about to pay for It. At
that time some of the queer facts of her
own history were brought out. Her father
was Dr. Rhea Barton, of no very
distinguished lineage. Her mother was of
the family of Frazier, whioh is a
bit above the ordinary. Dr. Barton
became a widower and then married
again, his second wife being a daughter
of John Jacob Ridgway, of a very
old Philadelphia family. Mrs. Willing’s
preference for the Ridgways has been so
marked that it bas confused people’s no
tion till they forgot that she wasn’t the
daughter of Dr. Barton’s second wife. Her
two daughters. Alice and Ava, have Ridg
way for their middle names; she herself
wore tbe magnificent Ridgway jewels which
came to her at her stepmother’s death; and,
in short, a great deal was beard of tbe
Ridgways and very little of anybody else.
Edward S. Willing is interesting as being
one of the few Americans who have fought
on tbe field of honor. His sister many
years ago married James Schott, Jr., a
society man of Philadelphia, and wa3
divorced Bix years later, after her husband
had fought a duel with Pierce Butler, a
Philadelphian of Willing’s set. Strangely
enough, tbe cause of the duel was something
which Mr. Schott saw in the Astor house
in New York. The first duel was followed
by a second, in which Edward 8. Willing
faced William Schott, a brother of James,
on account of a quarrel growing out of the
■caudaL Both were slightly wounded.
The Willing* now live in a handsome
house at SXI South Broad street, where the
wedding will occur on Tuesday. About 500
people are invited, and a special train will

take the New York goests over. The ar

▲ COW IN A6MOR.
The Ingenious Invention of a Citizen
of South Dakota.
From the New York Tribune.
A late copy of the Buffalo Gap (S. D.)
Mirror gives an account of an ingenious
invention of a citizen of that place. Block
itt Ferguson. We learn from the Mirror's
excellent account that Mr. Ferguson is a
blacksmith, having a shop in Cheyenne ave
nue. and living with his wife and family in.
the suburbs. Ho has long been known to
his feliow-townsmeu as a m -st ingenious
man and has been responsible for several in
ventions of more or less merit, among them
lying a ssfoty dog-catch on mine hoisting
apparatus. We claim no expert knowledge
on mine hoisting machinery, bht we should
say that a dog-catch must be a very impor
tant thing about the mouth of the shaft,
and it cannot be pleasant to have dogs con
stantly tumbling down on the miners.
But Mr. Ferguson’s present invention is
Boruuthing as far removed from mining as
possible. He has lived on the frontier
(though born in Connecticut) and been
through several Indian disturbances. In
these ho has always lost more or less stock,
for, though never a stock raiser, he has been
in the habit of keeping a cow and some
times a calf or two. These the Indians have
invariably swooped down upon and kil'ed.
Buffalo Gap is situated only a few miles
west of the Bad Lands, and when the late
trouble began it instantly occurred to Mr.
Fergus in that it probably meant the loss of
another cow, as he owned one of
these useful and nutritious animals. The
thought was depressing, and he began to
cast about for some plan to prevent the
coming sacrifice, if possible. While turn
ing the matter over is his mind Mr. Fergu
son happened to glance in an illustrated
copy ot “Don Quixote.” Ho had scarcely
opened the volume when the idea came to
him, why not make a bullet-proof armor for
his cow? To think is to act with Blookitt
Ferguson, and inside of thirty minutes ho
had the patient beast in his stwp and was
tmsy hitmnering out thin plates for her
back.
Mr. Ferguson is n rapid workman, and
at the end of a week’s time be had the cow
clad in complete mall. Hor badjr was cov
ered with large plates, and her neck, head
and legs with smaller one3, all carefully
articulated so that she could walk, lie
down, and iudoed perform all ordinary
movements yvith ease. In the helmet bolos
were, of course, left for eyes and mouth,
though thaso wore no larger than wore ab
solutely necessary, and had she been as
bibukmsly inclined us the knights of
Branksomehall she would have “drunk the
red wine through the helinet
barred." Unlike the ghost of Hamlet’s
father, she wore her beaver down.
Her horns Mr. Ferguson had tipped with
sharps steel points, thus rendering her
armed as well as protected. Mr. Ferguson
had considerable difficulty iu devising a
suitable covering for her tail. I’latos were
found out of the question. Finally, how
ever, he hit on the plan of winding her tail
with wire, like a garden hose, and he found
that it worked admirably, interfering but
little with its flexibility and affording rea
sonable protection. The comulote armor
weighed about 300 pounds. When every
thing was finished thooow was led out to the
Ferguson homestead and allowed to graze

AERIAL NAVIGATION,
A Short Letter in Response to the
Query, “Is It Practicable.'’
Brie fly, but emphatically, says a writer
for tho Scientific American, I say, “Yes!”
and by the following most simplo means :
Imagine the whole top cf accompanying
diagram, down to the point F, to bo one
rigid piece. If it were then to float in
space, tbe fln-lika sail, D, would causa the
baloon, A, to face the wind at A This be
ing made cioar, it follows that additional
lougtli of the baloon w ulil not increase
resistenoe to tbe wind, plainly demonstrat
ing that 100 tons of weight cm be carried
just as easily ns even half a ton, as
far as tbo baloon is concerned. The
swivel, F, permits tbe swinging around
in evory direction of the compass of tbe
passenger car, (J, by means of fan wheel, H,
aud rudder, J. The swiftly levolviug fan
wheel iranaris velocity to both car aud the
passive balloon overbold; the latter so con
trived, as shown, as to make it utterly im
possible for it to get athwart the wind. In
side of A a smaller balloon, N, is connected
through pipe, M, with an air pump on b ard
the passenger car. Pumping air into the
smaller balloon forces the gas out of the
larger, and bringing it down through pipe,
K, renders it available as fuel to generate
motive power. One pound of ballast thrown
overboard will enable tbe use of thirty
cubic feet of gas, or if the balloon, A,
is large enough to carry an excess
of 200 pounds of ballast, 215 cubic yards of
gas may be consumed as fuel without loss of
buoyancy. Every available power may be
applied. Hand power, even, is adequate.
Electric motors, gas or petroleum engines
can also be so adapted as to render service
as motors in an airship.
Should the invention be introduced, it
will revolutionize tho present order of
things on tho habitable globe, and call for
the immediate investment of more than
four times the capital now invested in rail
roads and telegraph put together. Two
hundred miles an hour will not begin to
touch the limit of speed. This is my firm
conviction, aud I daclare, by the eternal
verities of cause and effect, that the results,
as de cribed, will be as sure as the law of
gravitation. All willing to assist in the ex
periment are cordially welcomed to a share
in the emoluments and glory. I both invito
and challenge expert criticism.
TO SMOKEKS~
Accumulations of mucus are especially well
marked in tbe morning after smoking during
evening hours, and the gastric walls are covered
with a thick, tenacious layer. Food entering,
the stomach at this time wld become covered
with this tenacious coating, which for a time
protects It from tho action of the gastric fer
ments, and proper digestion 1* prevented. One
or two of the Soden Pastilles taken in the
morning before breakfast will clear the throat
and stomach of all accumulations of mucus.
