gignor Brin, Italian Minister of Ma
liae, at a dinner given by his electors,
said that the navy, which in 1886 was
valued at $30,000,000, is now valued at
170,000,000. The recent manoeuvres bore
testimony to the fact that a large portion
of the fleet could be manned without
recourse to unusul recruiting measures.
The progress made in naval affairs was
very satisfactory, considering that Italy
did not aim at an aggressive policy.
Kniser Wilhelm’s hatred of the French

hibit the use of the word “menu,” and
to order that of “Speisekarte” to be
substituted in its stead, The Berlin
press is reported to have expressed the
liveliest satisfaction at this fresh instance
pf the young Lmperor’s patriotism.
The last number of the Prison Mirror
contains a strong and well written pro¬
test against the recent conviction to im¬
prisonment for life in Kentucky of a
boy eleven years old. The writer t ikes
the ground that such a child, though a
murderer, is a fit subject for some sort
of a reformatory or educational institu¬
tion. The Prison Mh-ror is a neat and
readable little sheet, edited entirely by
the convicts of the prison in Stillwater,
Minn. It contains nearly altogether
original matter. It has just changed its
chief editor, ffie former incumbent, 8
life prisoner, having been pardoned.
The Berthon canvas folding boat is
likely to be adopted for use in the United

reports upon the trial are favorable to
the adoption of the boat. It cousists of

thickness of water-proof canvas. The
frame is hinged along the keel. When
the thwarts are taken out the sides coma
together, and but little additional space
is required for their storage. They can
be readily adjusted and rapidly placed
in the water. It is not a lifeboat, but
besides occupying small space on board

‘■There is one thing observable in St.

vho understand the English language to
teach that language to their children to
the exclusion of their own language.
There are hundreds of German and
Italian families in St. Louis whose
children are ignorant of the language of
their parents’ country, but who can
speak English fluently. While the old
English stock will be eradicated and ad¬
sorbed by other nationalities in the

the English language will, therefore,
forever remain the language of the
country.”

There was a slight frost at Decatur on
Monday and a white frost Tuesday morn¬
ing, with ice in many places. Tendei
vegetation is killed. Five new cases of
yellow fever are repoited. Nearly all
recent cases have been amongst nurses
and persons greatly exposed, and all have
been mild. A great many refugees have
returned.
W. A. Schumaker, the postmaster at
Carbon Hill, was shot and instantly
hilled by his wife, who is only seventeen
years of age. Schumaker was much
dejected over the result of the election
and began drinking heavily. He quar¬
reled with his wife, threatening to kill
her. He attacked her with a knife, but
Bhe succeeded in disarming him, and
begged him to spare her life. Schumaker,
who seemed to have become a maniac,
then, seized the kerosene oil can, and,
cursing his young wife, told her he
would pour oil on her and burn her up.
As he attacked her the second time she
drew a pistol and shot him through the
heart, killing him instantly.

There has been no frost as anticipated
in Jacksonville. The weatheris still cold,

yellow fever will probably stands continue in
Florida all Winter. He. alone in
this opinion. All the other experts agree
that a killing frost and thorough disin¬

pearance of the disease. There were
only 12 new cases on Sunday. There
were six new cases, four white, two col¬
ored, in Gainesville on Sunday.

A strike has prevailed at Bevier some
months and there have been frequent
rows between the strikers and the new

resulted in a pitched battle. A. J. An¬

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
An accident that is remarkable in rail¬
road history for the miraculous escape ol
its passengers from fatal injury, hap¬
pened on the Air Line Road Monday
morning near Folsom, a small station
ninety-nine miles north of Atlanta, Ga.
Train No. 58 left Atlanta at 7.10 a. m.
on Monday. It was made up of bag¬
gage, mail and express cars, first and
second class passenger coaches, and a
new and elegant vestibule sleeper, the
“Swanuanoca.” The train was well
loaded. Among them were Rev. Dr,
Henry McDonald, G. Kauffman, travel¬
ing salesman for Hirsch Bros; Jacob
Steinheimer, tobacco merchant; R. L.
Williams, traveling passenger agent oi
the Memphis & Little Rock Road. W.
Y. Holland, of Hartwell, Ga., was also
a passenger, The train arrived at Toe
coa on time and left there at 10.25.
Near that place the company has a force
of men at work laying new steel rails, end
the train was running at reduced speed
when the accident occurred. Near Fol¬
som, a small station six miles north ol
Toccoa, the engine and tender passed
safely over a new rail that had not been
securely fastened to the crossties, their
weight either breaking or displacing it.
The mail car struck the broken or mis¬
placed rail, and jumping the track went
tumbling down a fifteen foot embank¬
ment, almost a total wreck. Down the
embankment rolled the baggage and ex¬
press cars, followed by the coaches and
sleeper, and the wreck was complete,
The following is a list of those injured
in the wreck: Postal Clerk Shumate,
seriously injured, being bruised inur
nally; Postal Clerk Allison, bruised in¬
ternally, injuries serious, but not likely
fatal; E. L. Russeli, a director of the
Mobile & Ohio, and general counsel for
the road, hand cut and spine injured;
J. D. Beale, Montgomery, Ala., wounded
in the hand with broken glass, and
slightly burned while assisting passen¬
gers from the sleeper; Harry D. Zeigler,
Philadelphia, shoulder dislocated ; J. P.
Jones, express messenger, Lynchburg,
severe scalp wounds; W. Y. Holland,
painfully bruised, and tongue badly in¬
jured. C. Kauffman, J. M. Wood and R.
E. Seligman, of Galveston, Texas. J. E.
Waxelbaum, of Macon, the conductor
and trainmen, were all slightly injured.
GEN. HARRISON.
The President-elect passes the time
very quietly at his residence in Indian
apolis, receiving a goodly number of
neighbors and home friends who called,

Harrison’s mail has steadily increased un

newspapers that arrive. In view of these
circumstances, Gen. Harrison requested
the correspondent of the Associated Press

the several thousand friends throughout
the nation who had telegraphed expressions or of

THE PROUD LADY GONfl.
Away from the noise and clatter,
The din of the busy street,
Is a cauaret, shaded and silent,
Where at evening we often meet.
Bhe is a proud, rich lady,
Beautiful, wealthy and grand,
And society’s legions marshal
At the wave of her jeweled hand.
Yet far from the glamor and glitter.
From revel and rout and ball,
Bhe seeks her old companion.
When the evening shadows fall.
I read in her eyes of azure
A welcome tender and strong,
And her greeting to me is the music
Of a sweet, old fashioned song.
Bhe sits when the fading sunshine
Falls on her pure, sweet face,
About her, draped and twining,
An aura of shimmering lace.
We chat over old excursions
By woodland and stream and shore;
We clink our glasses, the wine flies;
“Come, waiter, and bring us more,*
I open my eyes, the waiter
Is before me, bottle in hand.
But alasl the rich, proud lady
Has gone to the shadowy land.
For although I weave about her
This web of an ancient time,
The lady long since has banished
Her minstrel and his rhyme.
