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. Always in season. Hopkins’ Steamed Hominy ( Hulled Corn).

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.

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.

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? If your children are subject to I croup waten for the first symptom of the disease —hoarseness. If , Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy i- I given as soon ::s the child becomes 'ho-rse it will prevent the attack. Even after the c w oupy cough has appeared the attack can always be prevented by giving this remedy. It is also invaluable for colds and whooping cough. For by H. H. Arrington, The Eutaw (Ala.)

The success of the Chicago ticket is dangerous only to the man wh” eats the bread that some body else earns.” 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. ‘Oh,’ said a disappointed woman “I would like to L>e a man just to show what a good husl and I could be.”—Detroit Free Press.

Gov’t Report Absolutely pure 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 and Sewall and the silver demo cratic candidates. This confirms the report published in Monday’s Times that Capt. Kolb intended to throw his support to the silver democratic nominees regardloss of the attitude of the middle of the road populists.

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.

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.
