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.

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.”— Edward Heron Allen to Philadelphia Times. ■ Jones' Scheme.
