DEATH l v f liiE FLAMES. A FEARFUL ACCIDENT ON THE RAILS. A' Woman Barns lo a Crisp Before thb Eybs of TliosD Who Are Tryiaj? to Rescue-HeK 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^ odly. and a im.rneM later her voice was raised in prayir. The flames now completely encircit-.! the helpless victim, and tho firu::«J away. Ag the hiazr ca she fought to keep tin her face, she told her n dress and left messages husband cud family'. Ji;e closing 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 of wen, a man whose every heart 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." ire driven t her arm ui.d ad- 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. Hon Robert G.

The depart ment baa been beseiged by letters from county boards and teachers seek ing permission to opea their schools during the present month or before the year b out and to ebargo next year’s school term with the work done nov. The school year and the calendar year are ci incident and next year’s term cannot be opened until alter January 1.

The peo ple may bj praying over the matter, aud for the Senne, in the neighbor hood of Albany, bu% impelled by a sense of dry, humiliating though it may be, for Thomasville is a moral town, we understand that in this vi cinity words have bicn uttered in reference to the Senate not used in Sunday schools or by preachers and very pious people. The everlasting “talking" m the Senate has, we very much fear, caused more “cassia" than praying. Senatorial “courtesy” has caused a fearful araou it of profanitj; but the provocation has been very great, and it is net unlikely the record ing angel has written ‘justifiabl opposite the charges. Visitors to the Worlds Fair who have been kissing what they believed to be the Blarney stone have been wasting their time, as it is said that the original stone is still in Ireland, while tho Chicago stone- is nothing more than a fake.

Mr. Wickwire—Perhaps it was tbe thumb she kept her butbaud under.— Indianapolis Journal 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.

We gues3 Uncle Sam con’d carry that much around in the pockets of his capacious trousers. The demand for a prompt settlement of the vexed question has become so universal, and iu language so plain that senators cannot longer ignoro the will ot the people.

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. 864.000 iu silver certificates It has nearlv seven thousand tons ot silver bu!i*on "i t its vau’ts, representing $160,000,000 or more, ^wbich it has au'hority of law tocoi.i for redemption purpose*.. - Irjiit- is i.ol a *1*. cngiHM'*!*' i.f silver* in htayei.'j name what would h* 1 Would Air.
