A TUB CAMP CBBEK WRECK.
Can Wrecked aadPaneagen Injured.
Ga., January 80—The
Central railrord train due here at 2:20 thia
afternoon, happened to an accident
about fiive miles below this city, in
which several cars were badly wrecked
and several people severely injured. The
train was a combination of freight and
passenger cars, and was made up of six
freight cars, a mail and express, baggage
and smoking car, and a first class passen -
ger coach.
The train had left Steveus Pottery and
was speeding with the wind toward this
city. When near the trestle over Camp
creek the tracks spread, and three of the
freight cars, together with the mail, bag
gage and passenger coaches, were fprecif
itated down the embankment, the bag''
gage car falling in the creek and the other
Cars thrown into a confused mass.
It was found that the mail agent, Mr.
Adams, was bruised up considerably and
has bead badly cut.
Express Messenger Reese Caraker was
bruised up badly.
O. E. Pace, a traveling salesman for W.
T. Conn & Co., of this city, was badly
hurt but not thought dangerous.
Bagnagemaster Jack Sharp, foot masks
ed.
Mrs. T. L. Avant, bruised up, but not
serious.
The passengers were brought to this city,
where medical attention was given to the
wounded. The scenes of the wreck is de
scribed as pitiful, indeed. It is a miracle
that the entire crew was not killed.
Rudolphis Dead.
ViKNNAJanuary 30.—Archduke Rud
olph, Austrian crown prince, and heir
apparent to the throne, died suddenly to>-
day/near Baden. His death is supposed
to have been caused by appoplexy.
It was krown last evening that the
crown prince was indisposed, but nothing
serious was anticipated, as shown by the
fact that the crown princess went to the
opera. The official account implies that
the crown prince’s death was due to apo
plexy of the brain, but it is slated that the
cause was really apoplexia cordis. His
mouth, after his death, was covered with
blood.JMany persons here still refuse to
believe that the death resulted ftom apo
plexy. All kinds of rumors of shooting
by accident or design are current.
The crown prince always slept with his
bed room door open, but on the morning
of his death the door was found locked
This fact is the subject of much comment.
Meyerlin?, where the death occurred, is
situated amid splendid scenery, and is the
favorite resort of Crown Princes Stephanie.

MISCELANEOUS
WHERE?
Where win this worn wanderer’s
Last resting place bet
’Neath the palms of the south?
Where the lindens spread free?
Will it be in the desert,
Entombed by strange hands,
Or on the sea’s coast,
In the moist, yielding sands?
No matter Gpd’s heaven
Above me will spread;
His stare, as death’s tapers.
Will light nay low bed.
—Laura Garland Carr.
MY FIRST LOVE.
“What an old, worn out title!” I fancy
I hear somebody saying, aa he or she
turns the leaf and reads the heading of
my idyl. Old, I grant you, sir or
madam, but worn out—never! Do you
say, as you meet the hundredth face in a
crowd, “Whit an old, worn out pat
tern!” No; for though the faces possess
the same features, those features indi
vidually and their arrangement are ever
varied, even to the millionth face. So it
is with the story of “My First Love;”
there are features in it which you will
doubtless recognize as having formed
part of your day dream, gentle reader,
but as you turn the last leaf of the nar
rative I believe you will feel with me
that none save ’this old, pure, sweet
phrase has any right to head these lines.
I am an Englishman, brought up in
all the traditions of an old Tory family
by a dear mother —God rest her soul —of
whom her friends used to say: “Ah! but
she is of the old school.” Very stiff and
ceremonious, very punctilious and very
polite, but every action fraught with an
old world purity and courtesy that made
one think of the pictures of Sir Godfrey
and of the perfumes of dried lavender.
Man, says Herbert Spencer, is formed by
his environment, and my environment
was my mother, a womah of the world,
mark you, aux bouts des ongles. You
must not Imagine that I was brought up
to man’s estate in ignorance of the foul
gases of the valley and marsh while
breathing the pure air of the mountain
top. The only effect visible of the ten
der influences which guarded my life
till I was four-and-twenty was a certain
reserve of manner and a more than ordi
nary “English” horror of anything ap-
f (reaching to “bad form.” I tell you all
his to show you once more how love
laughs at prejudices and calmly ignores
preconceived ideas.
My mother died with the tulips of
1886, and some of the fellows at the club
persuaded me to come to America, and
Furthermore, with a view to a thorough
distraction of my thoughts, prevailed
upon me to give a series of readings in
the States of my own and other verses.
I have coquetted a little with the muse,
and, as would bo the case with most
young poets—or rather rhymesters—the
thought of presenting my work viva
voce to the people of the United States
caused a strange thrill of delight. I
communicated, therefore, with Maj.
Pond, and in the early autumn of 18—
I sailed for the States, and commenced a
tour which, I am happy to say, was not
unsuccessful.
The following June found me in Den
ver, Colo., and I put up at the Grand
Canon hotel for a week, during which
time I gave a couple, of readings and
rested amid the gorgeous scenery of the
state. The third day after my arrival I
had come down as usual to take
matutinal coffee ‘in the public dining
room, and was hardly seated when a
lady, whom candor compels me to de
scribe as “an old lady,” came into the
room, accompanied by a young girl.
They took thi . seats exactly opposite to
me. A young girl, did I say? Kay, she .
or 18,
Lmv soy! In a manner which telacffacc
j able. . It* was a round face, with just
slight squareness of jaw which
% premised to give to it a wonderful
strength of personality as years went on.
Iter coloring was perfect, faintly
flushed with the dawn of womanhood,
with white temples and throat, and a
high, pale forehead, the whole framed
in a careless ton ent of hair like to liquid
gold. A pair of great wandering, out
withal fearless, blue eyes, a finely
modeled nose, just the least bit tip tilted,
and a mouth like those of the cherubs
in Raphael’s “Madonna" in the Sistine
chapel. She was a little girl, and her
figure was just taking unto itself the
sweet sinuous curves of womanhood,
which showed themselves as she moved
to her seat with all the untaught, un
conscious grace of perfect and healthy
development. Our eyes met as she sat
down. She looked gt me with a full,
frank gaze in which there was an unde
fined something of half recognition—
she had evidently known some one who
resembled me—and then, having satisfied
herself of my non-identity, she turned
her attention to the older lady and their
respective breakfasts. A moment after
wards I rose and left the room.
During the next two or three days we
met periodically, in the dining room, in
the corridors, in the elevator or on the
streets of Denver, and we always threw
one another in passing that glance
which, though apparently absolutely ex
pressionless, seems to say: “If we knew
one another we should be friends.”
Have you never seen people in the
streets, in theatres, in ball rooms, con
cerning whom, as your eyes meet for a
fractional-part of a second, you have
said this to yourself almost uncon
sciously? I have, and I always regret
these unknown friends of mine, but I
never felt it more strongly than I did
with regard to this golden haired child
whom I met ’way out in Denver, Colo.
The last morning of my stay in the
city arrived, and I was sitting alone in
my room up stairs, jotting down on a
scrap of music paper the chords of an ac
companiment to a little song that I liad
written for a friend in Baltimore. My
task finished, I went down stairs to the
parlor, where there was a piano, to try
their effect, and, finding the room ap
parently empty, 1 seated myself on the
music stool. As I opened the piano
I heard a rustle, and turning round I
saw my little unknown friend sitting in
a low arm chair in the embrasure of a
window, her great blue eyes fixed upon
me in fearless curiosity. I rose instinc
tively and said:
“Shall I be disturbing you, mademoi
selle, if I play over a few chords?” '
“Oh, no,” she said. “Please go on? 1
As I turned to the keyboard she added:
“Will my presence disturb you? Shall 1
go away’r
“By no means,” I hastened to reply;
“on the Contrary. Indeed, I shall take
the liberty, if you will allow me, of ask
ing your opinion on a little melody that
I want to run over.”
She looked out of the window for a
moment, and then turning her eyes full
upon me once more, she remarked:
#b “I came down here because I was so
lODOSOIIIG LID stairs. Annt.iA hoa rrnnA
out on business, and sozge friends I ex-
Ected to call and take me for a drive
ven’t arrived.”
“Is it possible?” was my rejoinder, and
in ten minutes we wejre the greatest
friends in the vzorld. We sat in the
drawing room of the Grand- Canon hotel
for nearly an hour, chatting gayly of
America and England and of our hobbies
and of ourselves. At the end of that
time she rose and said:
“Well, It’s a humiliating necessity, but
I must eat to keep alive, and if you will
excuse me, I’ll go down to luncheon.”
I rose also and answered: “You are
quite right—if there were no prosy side
to life, we should not appreciate the
poetry of it”—and then, after a moment’s
hesitation, added: “I am a foreigner,
and do not understand your rules of
conduct, but would it be very casual of
me to suggest that, as I also must live,
and with that object in view must also
lunch, we should lunch together, as you
are alone?”
“Why, of course—why shouldn’t we?”
and then she added, a look of perplexed
inquiry coming over her brows, “I don’t
know quite who is going to introduce us
to one another, Mr. -?”
“Neal,” said I; “Ronal Neal, at the
service of Mademoiselle ?”
“Tressahar—Pauline Tressahar," said
she, “Let me give you a card.”
She fumbled for her card case and I
for mine, and standing in the doorway
of the hotel parlor we gravely exchanged
cards and bowed formally to one an
other.
“I live in Nashville, Tenn.,” she said,
“and if you ever come there it will give
papa—Cok Euclid Tressahar —very great
pleasure if you will oome and see us—you
will come, won’t you?”
I assured her that I would, and we
went down to lunch. The head waiter
Save me a menu ail’d “^Tcheck l and I or
ered a tiny little meal with some
care, during which operation she
watched me with a nervous, per
plexed look which I perfectly well
understood, but which for the life
of me I couldn’t see any way of soften
ing—unleft I told the head waiter to give
me two checks and filled up one for her
and one for myself, which would have
been foolish to my English ideas. As we
finished our microscopic repast, how
ever, she sgid in the most matter-of-fact
tone to the waiter:
“The check, please.”
The obsequious Italian brought it to me
naturally and she looked up and said:
“And mine, too, waiter.’’
“They are both together, madame.”
“Oh! but—no—l—want” she began.
“Really,” said I, feeling very uncom
fortable, “it is such an absolute nothing
that it would be simpler, and would give
me a pleasure into the bargain, if you
would allow me to sign this, Miss Tres
sahar.”
“Certainly not,” she replied, blushing,
though her tone was quite decided; “will
you hand it to me for a moment?”
I did so and she'gravely. calculated
what her share of our lunch had been,
and then producing her purse she counted
out the exact amount in silver and
handed it over to me with the check.
“Now,” said she, “if you will sign it it
will be all right.”
I did so without a word, fascinated,
but withal feeling a little “mean,” and
then the child, laying a quarter down be
side her plate for the waiter, said:
“Now, let’s go back to the parlor for a
few minutes and then I must go out.”
We went up stairs again and sat for
half an hour or so, talking of quite seri
ous matters, and we bade one
another farewell, mutually expressing a
hope, that in truth it might be not “good
by,” but “au revoir.” I She was leaving
Denver in an hour's: time; J. also was
leaving the same eveitung.
And thus we parted].
Up stairs in my roam I had a some
what battered copy oAmy last volume of
2 1 .-
in vers? expressive of the
pleasure I took to teausferrtog to her the
possession of tile ’rohuno, and so I sent it
down to her ty aservant and betook my
self to my packing. I was thus em
ployed, talking th# w! ie to a friend who
had dropped in to eay “good-by,” when
a bell boy brought u'p a crimson rose
upon a salver from the office.
“Miss Tressahar has just left, sir, and
sends this, with her compliments; she
has received the book and is much
obliged, and says she* will write to thank
you from Nashville.”'
•*•• 5 • • •
I laid the rose reverently between the
leaves of my Bible -and put it into my
valise. A week later I was on a ranch
at Los Angeles, Cal., an( the post brought
me one day a letter of four pages in a
pretty Italian handwriting—it was from
Pauline.
She had received my book just before
she left Denver and hoped I had received
her rose. She had read my verses and
was pleased to say that she liked them—
that they touched her. Some of them,
written in a cynical, despairing strain,
she criticised and regrettea. She hoped
that some day I should meet some one
who would make me think better of life
and cure me of my love of solitude. She
commended my body to happiness, and
my soul to God, and rerSjEnea ever, very
sincerely my friend, Pauline Tressahar.
P. S.—She hoped I woulu not forget my
promise and come to Nashville.
Yesterday—only yesterday—a friend
sent me a Nashville papercontaining an
article concerning myself; almost along
side of the criticism on my poems, in a
column headed “Persona! Intelligence,”
there appeared as an item of local inter
est the announcement of the engage
ment .of “the beautiful daughter of our
esteemed fellow citizen, Col. Euclid
Tressahar,” to the son of some equally
esteemed inhabitant of Nashville, Tenn.
I cut out the article cn myself and
my poems with the paragraph attached
to its side and, folding it up small,
opened my Bible to piadFtt with Pau
line’s gift. The leaves of the book were
perfumed by the sweet dr/ petals—the
soul that still lived of her crimson rose.
And on the page where it bad lain there
was a little crimson stain—x had pressed
it upon the verse of St. Paul’s Epistle to
the brethren at Philippi Whatsoever
tilings are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever tilings are pure, t
whatsoever things are lovely, whatso
ever things are of good report, if there
be any virtue, think <?n these things.”—
