DEATH l v f liiE FLAMES.
A FEARFUL ACCIDENT ON
THE RAILS.
A' Woman Barns lo a Crisp Before

The terrible accileut^at Battle
Greek. Micb., a lew (laye ngo when
two Woi!d’«j Fair excursion trains col
lided shocked the enure country. Io
one case a mother who had been
pulled out of tbe burning wreck, saw
tier -little iufaut, which was pinned
under the seats,Uterally roast to death.
The most awfubexperieoco of this
terrible affair was that of Mrs. C. C,
Van Dusen of Sprout Brook, N. Y.,
who was burned to death with her
hands freo and ia full p'isotsdoD of
her sense, in spite of tbe utmost cn
deavors of tbo party of rescuers.
Soon after the wreck occurred Mr.
Van Dusen wa* removed from Le
neatb a pile of ^lebris and takou to
the hos pital, where he died io a short
time. He was conscious to the last,
and left his business r.flairs in the
hands of Rov. Gaorgo Culp of this
city, a friend, and died without know
ing that for his wife had been re
served tbe most awful fate of ail.
Mrs. Van Dusen wjis pinned in the
telescoped cars, and at first had no
"doubt ot her ttcapc. As she looked
oat of ttie window nod awaited her
rescuer , the alarm of fire was sud
denly given. .‘Hurry up, please
hurry up,” she said, a3 the fear
crossed her mind that peihaps
she was in danger of but nip
minute later, while strong men v.tro
straining to extricate her, the pos3i>
bility became n probability, and the
flames crept rapidly toward the im
prisoned woman.
“You shan’t burn, we’ll get you
out,” cried the uicn heroically as they
wrestled i rant icafly with the splintered
timbers. There was a lull of speech
for five minutes, ihe rescuers hud
become giants in strength and mad
men in desper.i’.i.m, and they strug
gled wildly with the tangled mass of
wood and iron. 1 he woman was
silentand gazed imploringly and in
quiringly into the (aces of the fire
men.
“My God. 0!i my God!’’ suddenly
burst from the lips of one of the
heroic workers and in that despairing
cry the helpless woman read her
death warrant. She gave one agoniz
ing wail and them Ik- • woman’s weak
ness gave way to a martyr*,* atrength.
•*I can die. Oh jei, J can die if I
must,” she eaiil soothingly lo the
, strong men who v.wre wcf-pk g in their
impotent strength.
Again they struggled hrcathlerely
to rescue, but the fi ne, s uvre cncir
cling the parly, and t! o V-iza claimed
the victim that the crash had spar
“I am a Christian,” she 31 id resi^

was raised in prayir. The flames

minute was a pathetic struggle again*!
the inevitable, but it was tbe flttii
that fought and not the spirit. The
white face of lire woman gazed heav
enward and her lips moved in prayer.
Even the fury of the flames that
wreathed her lips ai d blistered and
curled the whim 11-s j of her arms
were power ets-t ) pv*»vokc a jcrcaro.
Suddenly there was a swaying and
surgieg of the burning timbers ab.i
and around her. A wild groan burst
simultaneous y from the lips of the
spectators and tinu.g men w< pt.
Through ftheir tears they siw the
flames sweep around the martyred
woman ami her hair burned wildly
for a moment. The heal dropped to
one ■ side as the viciiin inhaled tbe
flames, tho praying lips wire stifled
and the soul of Mrs. Van Dusen had
passed beyond the fury of tbe ele
ments of earth. An hour later, tbe
husband for whom she hud left a lov
ing message, joined her in tbe world
to come.
Speaking of the meeting ot sports
men, men who shoot and fish, in
Atlanta, tho Cousin Lilian say
' * “Mr. Hal Morrison moved that the
president appoint a vice president
each county in the state so that each
of the counties might be more deeply
interested in the matter.. The motion
caught a popular chord and went
through.
VPresidcnt Brown,, however, did
not make the appointments, but will
take the mat ter under consideration
and name the vice presidents as fast
aahe can secure the names of persons
in each county who will take an in*
terest in tho work."
Mr. President, we put in nomina*
tion for the county of Thornes the
name of Hon. H. W|. Hopkin?, a
thoroughbred sportsman and gentle
man, one who has done much toward
protecting game in ibis section.
Hon. Pat Walsh corralled Com'
■ missiouer of Agriculture Morton, and
will bring liini to the A ugusta Expo-
iition. When Augusta loses Pat
Walsh, and may the day be long de
ferred,.she will loto.one of tbe truest

beat, of his big Irish bvarf, is for
Augusta, Georgia, tbo South and a
reunited country.
A Woman of Business.
We were camped alongside 01 an
emigrant train in Nebraska, says the
Louisville, Commercial, and just after
supper a woman about 4‘) years of
age, who was smoking a pipe,’came
over to our fire and sized tbe crowd
up, and said :
I've got suthin? to say* Ima
plain-spoken woman. .When I've a
thing on my mind I don't beat arobnd
the bosh."
'We looked at her with curiosity
and surprise, and she leaned against
the wheel of a wagon and continued:
* I've been a widder for three y ears,
Over thar I've got a span of mewls,
a good ho&, a new wagon- .filled wi^th
houaekeepin' staff, and I kin rake up
about $80 in cash I cum along with
the party to take up a cl aim. I’m good-
tempered, healthy and can. s^iuga
ax or hold a plow with most anybody.
As I said, I'm a plain-spoken woman.
If there’s a critter among you that
wants to get married let him stand
up while I take a look at him.”
The eleven of os promptly stood
«P-
‘Git into line," she continued, with
a wave of her hand. M I hain’t alter
beauty er eddecaabum. But I cau'c
take up with a fellow who'd sheer a
wolf to death."
She passed down the line and then
returned half-way and said to a mid
dle-aged man by the name of Rem
ington :
“You’ll do, I reckon. There's a
preacher in camp, and 'won't take
fit Wen minutes to settle things. All
of you who want to see tho marrying
come on."
We followed the couple, who were
made man and wife inside of twenty
minutes, and next morning as we
passed the wagon on the road the
woman looked out and bowed and
said:
“Sorry for the other ten of ye, but
perhaps you’ll meet up with the other
train soon and etnke luck."
Is the end in sight ? A dispatch
from Washington yesterday says:
“It may be stated explicitly, how
ever, that the members of the Senate
on both sides of the chamber, with
out exception, regard it as settled
that a measure is in course of prepa
ration at the hands of the democratic
steering committee, the terms of
which, except as to details, have
been practically agreed upon by the
entire democratic side of the chamber.
Senator Voorhees, who, ss the leader
of tho repeal forces, could have no
part in an effort to secure a compro
mise, showed by every act that he
considered the end near, and when
pproached on the subject replied
that he would not be surprised if the
da)’a work should produce important
results."

A Sensible Farmer.
The Fort Valley Leader quotes a
sensible Houston county farmer as
follows: “I dou’t care how much they
flies about finances in congress. There
is bat one way for the southern farm
er to control the money shark, and
that is to let hts money'alone. As
long as we buy oa credit and borrow
money to make cotton, our money
matters will always be controlled by
those who hare money to loan. The
lands in the south will produce ax
abundance of everything that is nec
essary for food for man or beast,» and
when; we begin to raise a supply of
these things and stop going to towff to
boy them, and stop running .to banks
to borrow money that we can do with
out, we will not give a continental
whether tbe currency is on a gold or
stiver basis. Then our surplus crop
of cotton alone will In five-years en
able the southern planter* to -get all
the gold or silver that they want—
without borrowing a cent ot ft, either. 1
We commend, most heartily, the
above views ot a sensible Georgia
farmer to the calamity howlers. After
all, it depends largely on the man who
farms, whether he succeeds or fails.
Were there ten thousand million dol>
lars ofeilvtr, or any other money in
circulation, it would be beyond the
reach of the farmer if he didu't have
something to sell. Tho farmer who
comes to town to “buy” every time
and who brings nothing to “sell,"
would not, and could not, be bene-
fitted, directly,by any cort of financial
m. The proper function of
the government is to enact wise^and
wholesome financial laws, in favor of
no class and equally favorable to all.
When this is done, it must be left to
the citizen to paddle his owu canoe.
You can't legislate money into a
thriftless man’s pocket. He must
earn it in tome way. It ia the duty
of the citizen to support the govern
ment, not * the duty of the govern*
ment to support the citizen When
the government enacts and enforces
wise and just laws its duty ceases.
Individual prosperity and success de
pends upon individual effort And
this is as it should be. A man would
lose his identity and become a drone
were be to sit down and wait for the
government to support him. Soctety-
and government consists of atoms, and
each must play its part, how success
ful to be determined by the industry
and intelligence of each individual.

Every memb'.. of the State Demo*

of the silver purchase clause ot the
Sherman act. It would be difficult

The following is iu brief the main
features of the compromise measure
brought forward in the senate:
“It provides for the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman
law to take effect October 1, 1894.
It provides for the coinage ot the
silver yet to be purchased as well as
the seigniorage now io tbe treasury.
The one, two and five dollar treasury
notes will he retired and’silver dollars
or silver certificates wi 1 take their
place.”
This would give the country about
eight hundred millions In silver. We

a prompt settlement of the vexed
question has become so universal, and

Mr. Dana of the Sun and Senator
Morgan of Alabama are in a contro
versy as to whether silver, to any ex
tent, was used in Solomon's temple.
That’s going a long way back for an
argument. Noticing this unique dis
cussion, the Enquirer Sun says:
On 1 he 29* h of September the stns
ator in his speech declared that in the
ornamentation of Solomon's temple
there was a great amount of silver
used. “It was burnished with silver,”
he said. The vessels were of gold
and sometimes ot silver. The Sun
undertook to show that these asser
tions wereio contradiction of the sacred
text, that in the first book of Kings,
giving an account of the building of
the temple, nothing was said about
silver, but the edifice is described as
overlaid with gold within and without,
even to the floor, while all the vessels
were of geld. Gold was employed
to the exclusion of silver, because at
that time silver was comparatively
base metal and Solomoo himself would
not use it for his drinking vessels.

An Executive Session.
Washington, Oot. 20.—The Senate
went into executive session at 10:30
this morning.
A cloture lesolution introduced by
Senator Voorhees went over until to*

The legislature of Georgia soon
meets at Ihe Capitol, aod when it does
another and a last effort should be
made to get the state to accept the
Confederate Veteran's Home. If the
legislature cannot see its way dear to
support the institution, the, can at
least accept it as a free gilt. The
people ot Georgia want their o!d
heroes looked after prop r’y in their
old age and if public senranls carry
out the will of their constituents the
Veteran’s Home will be accepted by
the state.—Athens Banner.
The Banner is right. It is a burn,
ing shame that a comfortable aod
valuable home for the old soldiers
should be refuted by the law makers
of the state. Let ,thc agitation be
kept op. The otd soldiers will win
ia the end.

and Corbett cannot possibly box here.
What offer will you make? Both men
are anxious to meet in England.”
The dispatch was signed Davo Hol
land. A meeting of the directors
the National Sporting Club will be
held as early as possible, and there is
no doubt that every cfTort will be made
to have the fight settled in London.
Asbury Park, N. J., Oct. ifi—Pugil*
ist James J. Corbett to-night received
word that tbe Kicgs county officials
at a special meeting had decided to

Island club.
When seen at his tr doing quarters
to night, Corbett said he proposed
