REMARKABLE WRECK.
Two Trains Collide and a Third
Crashes Into Them.
Batavia, N. Y., Sept. 30.—8 y a
j wreck on the Lehigh Vallhy road,
about a mile and a half east of
here this morning, Brakeman
Kimball was killed and Engineer
Dennis McCarthy fatally injured.
Eastbound freight, No. 540,
stopped on the main line at Niag
ara, just where the Lehigh con
nects with the “peanut” branch of
the New York Central, probably
to cool a hot journal. While
standing on the main line a double
header, also eastbound, came
thundering up behind and crashed
into the rear of the standing train,
piling up the cars for a quarter of
a mile along the tracks. Just then
a westbound train came along and
added to the devastation by jam
ming into the derailed cars.
The wind was blowing a gale and
some of the cars caught fire. The
fire resisted all efforts to extin
guish it for hours. The wreck is
very costly. It is remarkable that
no trainmen were injured.

She Sweetly Sleeps.
The angel of death visited the
home of Mr and Mrs. J. F. Hay
good, in Erath county, Tex . Sept.
18th, 1896, and took from them
their darling little daughter, Alma,
aged about nine years.
She had been sick a long time
and suffered greatly, but she is
gone where all her suffering are
over, where death has lost its
power. O how it broke the heart
of loved ones, to hear that little
one say, “We all have to die, and
lam going to die before I get
well ” And sure enough she did.
She is now in that bright world
where her three little infant sisters
has gone before.
She was a bright and loving
child and those who know her
most, loved her best. I will say
to parents, brothers mid sisters
weep not, for her loss is your eter
nal gain, and may it be inetru
mental in bringing you near the
fold of Christ, so you can meet in
Heaven, where the missing link
can be re-united into one unbroken
chain.
“Asleep in Jesus! bleesed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep;
I A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.”
Sorrowing friends, and broken
, hearted relatives will meet her
some sweet day. Cousin Della.

1| A severe storm visited the Geor
■lgia coast lastTuesday night which
■ indicted terrible damage at Bruns
wick, Savannah and other coast
■ towns in Georgia. In Savannah
the property damage is estimated
at nearly one million dollars while
; twelve lives were lost. In Bruns
wick the loss is estimated at half
; a million dollars, while a number
of people were killed. It is the
• most disastrous sb-rin that ever
visited Brunswick. A larg> num
ber of smaller inland towns suf-
I sered great damage, but not
; nearly so heavily as the cities on
the coast.
The Darlington, Wis , Journal
says editorially of a popular pat
ent medicine: “We know from
experience that Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy is all that is claimed for it. as
on two occasions it stopped excru
ciating pains and possibly saved
us from an untimely grave. We
would not rest easy over night
without it in the house.” This
remedy undoubtedly saves more
pain and suffering than any other
medicine in the world. Every

‘‘Sam Jones Did It.”
From the Macon Telegraph
Sam Jones is out in another let
ter on elections in Georgia. This '
recalls to mind a conversation >
with Col. W allace, Butler’s venera
ble 1 wyer and noted philanthrop- ;
ist. Speaking of Sam Jones’ first
letter, Colonel Wallace remarked j
t > me: “1 have read Sam Jones' |
letter. It is a remarkable one. j
Did you observe anything peculiar
about it?” “Yes,” I replied, “very
peculiar for a preacher, for, know
ing that Steve Clay’s powers are
only advisory and not mandatory,
I can’t see how he was willing to j
leave a false impression on the !
reader.”
“You are right about that,”ans- j
wered Colonel Wallace, “but the
remarkable thing I refer to is his
admission that he committed per
jury.”
“I recollect his confession of
chewing up ballots to falsify the
count, but Ido not remember a
bout perjury.”
“Y’es,” replied Colonel Wallace,
“he stated he was election mana- 1
ger. Election managers are sworn 1
officers. He who chews the ballot
and falsifies the count commits 1
perjury and if not punished is out
of the penitentiary by neglect. 1
Sam Jon-s says he chewed ballots
while a manager.”
And Colonel Wallace added : “A
man who tampers with the ballots
and confesses openly his falsifying
the count should be modest in
prating about an honest ballot and
a fair count and in criticising oth
ers who are trying to do right.
Steve Clay wants a fair count and
has advised that nianag'-rs l> > eh c
i
>ed from both parties. Hispowersl
are advisory only, and Sam Jones
knows it” Rambler.

lii Memory,
Miss Carrie V. Mosely died at j
her home at Alpine, Ga., on the i
morning of Aug. 20th, 1896. The i
deceased was in her 57th year.
Fop three months before her
death she was confined to her bed.
and very great were her sufferings, I
which she bore with great patience
and Chris.ian resignation. She >
did not fear death, for she had
lived a noble Christian life, ever
performing the many duties which
her willing Lauds found to do.
The p .or and sic k were her espec- '
. ial charges.
She was a loving mother and a
thoroughly unselfish friend and
will be greatly missed by both rel
atives and friends.
Many joys and sorrows were hers I
but now she has her reward and I
is sweetly as eep in Jesus from ;
which we would not awaken or re
call her, although we so sadly miss
' her. S. A. G.

STRUCK BY ENGINE.
Mrs. Hite and Her Child Caught
on a Trestle by a Fast Flying
Train.
Rome, Sept.—This morning the .
10:201 o’clock train from Atlanta'
on the Southern r >.->d, knocked
, Mrs. T. O. Hite, who held her ba
by in her arms, from a trestle 10
feet high near Lindale four miles
from Romo.
Mr. Hite and his wife and five
children were crossing the trestle
on their way to the Atlanta Junc
tion, wlwe they intended to take
j the train to Rock Run, Ala. Just
ias they were midway the trestle
1 the passenger train camo up behind
‘ running at a speed of 10 miles an
hour.
Hite and his four children leap
ed from the trestle to the ground
10 feet below. Mrs. Hite became
terror stricken. She held her in
fant tightly in her arms, went to
the edge of the trestle and stooped
down In an instant the locomo
tive was upon her and struck her
of the head, throwing her into the
creek.
She sustained a terrible wound
on the head, but was not killed.
The infant escaped uninjured. The
engineer applied the brake and al
most succeeded in stopping his
train before it struck the woman.
Mrs. Hite is in the city hospital
here in a critical condition.
The Only Known Venomous Bird.
New Guinea is the home of the
must wonderful feathered creature
known to the student of ornithol
ogy —the awful rpir n’dooh, or
“bird of death.” The venom of
this bird is more deadly than that
of any serpent except the cobra
In fact no antidote fur the bite of
the creature is known. A wound
from its beak causes excruciating
pains in every part of the body,
loss of sight, speech and hearing,
convulsions, lockjaw and certain
death.
Is the Sun Burning Up?
Thousands of curious and in
genious theories have been ad
vanced to account for the effect
that the sun, although he has
whirled his burning disc across the
heavens for untold ages, continues
to burn without being consumed,
or his bulk being lessened in the
least. Some, of our most learned
astronomers believe, or pretend to
believe, that the great orb is a ball
of gas, but ©ven a great globe of
gas would be consumed to its ut
most atom in the course of a few
thousand years. Others say that
fires are kept up by the burning of
the remains of wrecked worlds
which are constantly falling into
its mysterious, burning- d.pHre
But even this ■"aSems far more
probable, and those who take an
opposite view declaring that it is a
monstrously absurd conclusion.
In summing up his opinion on the
last conclusion, one of the "most
eminent astronomers of the day :
has figured that a mountain range .
consisting of 176 cubic miles could i
fall into the sun and yet not fur-;
j nish fuel enough to keep up the ;
1 present rate of heat for a single 1
second; and that a mass equal to
! our earth would only furnish heat
for 93 years. If these conclusions
’ are correct we may well ask : Os
I what wonderful, indestructible
substance is our great light-giver
, composed?

1 WATSON MAY WITHDRAW.
Confusion in the Silver Camp
Over the Prospect.
Nashville, Oct. I.—A special to
the American from Atlanta, Ga ~
I says: Tom Watson is at his room
at the Kimball House, surrounded
by a phalanx of populistic breth
ren. tonight and is shut out from
the rest of the world so absolutely
that all efforts to get from him
anything about his movements or
intentions has proved unavailing.
The air of mystery that surrounds
him has perhaps been in a measure
responsible for the many rumors
that are afloat. Those have taken
definite shape in the statement
that he is certainly going to with
draw from the populist ticket in
disgust, Tom will neither affirm
or deny this rumor. He is as
dumb as the proverbial oyster.
The story goes that in the people’s
party paper tomorrow he will ex
plain his position ful'y, and that
the effect of it will be his with
draw al.
Today Watson spoke at Stone
Mountain. He made no direct al
lusion to any idea of withdrawing,
and, indeed, left his hearers im
pressed strongly with the belief
that ho proposed to stick, come
what may.
This afternoon the Evening
Journal contained a story, pub
lished over a Washington date
line, which intimated strongly
that the withdrawal was in sight.
It spoke of Watson’s disgust at
the treatment he has received at
the hands of other populist lead
ers The story had the appearance
of a “grape vine.” The fact that
Watson’s paper is published from
tho Journal’s presses gives cred
ence to the belief which is general
hero that the Journal has had a
tip. Whether ho comes off or
not, ’Watson is disgusted. He is
quoted as having said to a friend
that he believed McKinley is go
ing to win,
Praise Your Wife.
“How do 1 look?” asked a young
wife who stood before her husband
dressed to attend a party with
h i m.
Tie raised hie eyes from the pa
per he was reading, looked at her
critically and said:
“All right. You’ll do,”
Iler heart sunk and her lips
quivered, but he did not know it.
She was conscious of looking her
best, and she wanted a word of
praise, of admiration, from her
husband, and she failed to receive
it.
Why was he so grudging of his
praise? Ask the average man who
answers his wife in that way when
she asks his opinion, as she inva
riably does, and be will tell you
' that she always looks well—dressed
lin good taste and above criticism.
But why doesn’t he say that to her,
or rather why does he not make a
little lover-lilrtlspeech for such an
occasion? Even the courteous re
. marks he would bestow on thecus
: toms of an ordinary acquaintance
i are withheld from his own wife.
There was a husband—l e is dead
| now—who used to say to his wife :
1 ‘‘My d ar. you are looking charm
ing this evening,” or “I lovp you
i best in that blue dress of yours
He was a poor stick of a man in
the way of worldly success, but his
wid 'W canonized him for just those
loving tributes, given to her with
a lover’s deference after many
years of wedded life.

A POPULIST FLOP.
The People’s Tribune Withdraws
Its Support From Watson.
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 30.
The People’s Tribune, owned by
Capt. R. F. Kolb, father of the
populist party in Alabama, is out
today in a long editorial in which
it withdraws its support from Wat
son and the populist nominees for
congress and throws it to Bryan

to throw his support to the silver

Dr. E. 11. Sherman, cousin of
John Sherman, was frightened to
death during the storm at his resi
dence in Washington one night
last week. While going out to his
barn two large trees were blown
down in front of him. He re
turned to the house, sat down in a
chair and immediately expired.
According to an Indianapolis
paper the examination of the body
of a farmer killed by lightning
near Kokomo, Ind , early this week
has revealed a curious effect of the
bolt. Nearly every bone in the
min’s body was shattered and re
duced to small splinters without
burning or lacerating the flesh.
The horse which he was driving at
the time, though instantly killed
by the same bolt, remained stand
ing; and the beast’s bones, joints
and muscles were made perfectly
rigid by the fatal shock.
The latest swindling game was
practiced successfully the other
day at Benton, Pa., says the Troy
Times. Two mon who appeared
to be strong silver and gold advo
cates, were in the Central depot
and became involved in a heated
discussion. The gold man offered ,
to bet a gold double eagle that if
he hammered the coin into a shape
less mass it would still be worth
S2O. He was ostensibly taken up
by the silver advocate, but when
it came to selling the lump to Jew
eller Roth the store was closed.
James Haggerty, a strong sound
money advocate who stood by and
, who had implicit faith in the val
ue of gold, gave the man S2O for
the battered coin. The two enthu
siasts disappeared shortly after,
and then it was discovered that
■ the metal left by them was spur

WHICH OR NEITHER?
Will This Demand Induce
Watson or Sewall to
Withdraw?
Philadelphia, Oct. I.—The A
merican of this week will print an
editorial with the caption : “Sow
all or Watson—Which, or Neith
er?”
It calls on both of these gentle
men in the interest of the election
of Bryan to withdraw in order that
Chairman Jones may name a can
didate who will bo acceptable to
all interests. Mr. Barker writes:
“Bryan is acceptable to all. But
Sowall is not. Neither is Watson.
We impugn neither the American
ism of Mr. Sewall or Mr. Watson,
but neither is recognized by all
parties as the man for the crisis.
Mr. Sewall re not acceptable to the
populists. The democrats will not
take Mr. Watson. What, thou, are
we to do? We answer: Take
them both down. Put up a candi
date acceptable to all Americans.
“Such a man can certainly be
found. Who that man is is not
for us to say. It is not for demo
crats or populists or bimetallist
republicans. The man for the
place must not bo tho candidate of
any party; ho must bo the candi
date of all. It is for the trusted
leaders of our wage-earning classes
in unison with tho loaders of the
democratic and populist parties
and of the bimetallic republicans,
to sfiy who that man shall be. ’.’he
election is only five weeks off; i 'it
there is yet time to take down both
Messrs Sewall and Watson and put
up a now man wlio will stand for
all Americans. If this is done
nothing can prevent the election
of Mr. Bryan by an
vote.”
