am u . ST. LOUIS, May 2§.â€"-The west-bound train on the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad, which left St. Louis last night at 8.15, was wrecked three miles from Sullivan, Mo. Not a passenger escaped unhurt. and forty-ï¬ve are known to be seriously injured, though no deaths are reported. The train was running at a highrate of speed when suddenly, without Warning, the track gave way, and the 10- comotive, baggage car and ï¬ve coaches went over the embankment. The train men and those who were only slightly mjured at once set no work to prevent the additional horror of ï¬re, in which they succeeded, and then turned their atten- tion to the more unfortunate injured, and in a short time Iorty-ï¬ve passengers, all badly hurt, had been released for the de- bris. A temporary hospital was impro- verised at Sullivan, and the most serious- ly injured were taken there, while others were brought to St. Louis on the relief n. - â€A..- ,.c W516 usvubuu vv K.-. train, which was hurried to the scene of the disaster. It Was 11.25 p. m- when the accident occured. The train was tra- velling at high speed, and most of the ' A ers had already gone to sleep, whileithle few remaining awake were about to dose; Thereis a curve on the roadathree miles west bfzï¬ullivan, and when that point was reachgda sudden jolt and a jar was felt all ogm'tthe train, and the people in the rear was could hear the forward cars rattling ever the ties and crushing noises of cars being demolished. A creek is crossed by the road at that point, and there is a embankment thirty feet high. Most of the passengers thought the train was going through a. bridge, and A FEELING 0F HORROR chilled their blood. In an instant all the coaches except the two sleepingcars had been thrown from the rails. People were thrown about in the cars in all directions and some of them were thrown“ through the windows and down the embankment. The train properly was made up of a. mail car, an express car, baggage car, a smoker. a ladies’ coach; a a reclining chair car and two Pullman sleepers. Back of these sleepers were hitched ï¬ve empty coaches which had been picked up at a way station. The front truck of the ï¬rst sleeper jumped the track, but the rest of the car remained and the rear sleeper and empty coaches behind it never left the track. Fortunately there were no ï¬res in the car and the jolt extinguished the lights immediately. 9 .1 , _--:J.._.L Forty-Five Persons Injured The explanation given of the accident by the train men was that the spikes and ï¬sh-plates had been removed from the rails at the curves. leaving the rail loose on the ties. The forward portion of the locomotive passed the place all right. but the tender jumped the track and was thrown part of the way down the em- bankment. Who removed the spikes snd plates is not known, but the supposition is that it was the work of train robbers. The railroad ofï¬cials claim that this is a case of train wrecking. On the train was a large body of physicians returning from Springï¬eld, Where the national convention is being held, and they rendered valuable assistance in caring for the injured. A company of Englishmen was on a. tiger-hunt in India. The heaters had been :1: work for some time, when ashuut was heard which meant that a man-eater ...... -- -w- -- ___-,- was making toward the sportsmen All hands put themselves into position to re- ceive the attack. One of the company describes the meeting, which ended with an adv enture which no one was expecting. Lieutenant Farrington was on my right, in line with the mouth of the gully. and not more than twenty feet from my elbow. He had a double-barrelled rifle of heavy calibre. while I had a repeater. In three or four minutes after the cry of warning the tiger appeared in the mouth of the éâ€"tiily;V‘-l’1étxdl(;11 to Farrington, and looking him straight in the face. “Holdaon ! He’s my meat !†shouted the lieutenant, as he brought his gun up, And it became a. point of honor with the rest of us to hold our ï¬re. He took cool 1nd careful aim, but the bullet simply touched the skin between the tiger’s ears. The beast dropped like a stone, but was up in an instant, and with a roar to shake any man’s nerves, he sprang forward at the lieutenant. In the tenth of a. second I turned my eyes to the ofï¬cer, and what was my hor- ror to see a. serpent twining itself about his legs, and rearing its head to a level with his shoulder. I forgot all about the tiger and for the ï¬rst time in my life my blood seemed turned to ice. Farrington stood with. his left foot ahead and his right foot braced, and as the tiger touched the ground for his last spring the rifle spoke again, and the beast rolled over with a. ball through his brain. Then, while we all kept our places like so many blocks of stone, he dropped his rifle, seized the snake just below the head with his right hand, and came walking toward The serpent writhed and twisted in its rage. and as it uncniled itself from the man’sleg, he flung it thirty feet away. It was rushing back at him, when one of the party with a. shotgun blew its head ofl. We ran after him, and shook his hand :and showered unstinted praise on him for his nerve, but he would not be a. hero. It was the presence of the serpent which had disturbed his ï¬rst aim. He felt it under his foot, and realized that its bite meant death, but a maddened tiger was before him, and he did not give the snake a second thought. “ Good shot I†remarked Farrington, as he walked back and picked up his rifle. We are all dissatisï¬ed. The only diï¬â€˜er- enceis that some of us sit down in the squalor of our dissatisfaction, while others make 5 ladder of it. . ‘ "Aboy’s description of ha ' a‘tooth pulled expressed it about as we as any- thing, we have seen :â€"“Just before it killed me the tooth came out. 5’ A Coil About His Lez. Train Derailed. of the accident in a smash- mg _ , Thirty-ï¬ve years ago at ,Bufl'alo, N. Y., he fell in love with his cousin, Harriet» Fiske, but she rejected his suit and mar- ried Albert Stage. A few years of happy married life ensued, and then Stage went to the war and was heard of no more. Fiske, having accumulated wealth in Colorado, again renewed his suit. Mrs. Stage, thinking her husband was dead, married him. They came to Wichita and lived very happily until the son of Albert Stage, learning the mystery of his father’s life, determined to solve it. After several years search he found his father alive in Florida. Correspondence was opened which resulted in the return of Stage and his marriage secured him to his wife. After the separation Fiske went abroad, but returned a year afterwards broken in health and purse. His former wife found him and took him home, where he receiv- ed the tenderest care and warmest sym- patho from both his wife and her ï¬rst husband until his death. The Queen’s Genealogy.

We remember that the was the daughter of the Duke of Kent, the niece of 'her immediate predecessor on the throne.

Here is a glimpse at woman’s lot in Africa from a chapter in a recent book on South Africa, which describe’s some of the customs of the Sawzee tribe : “ A beauti- ful young wife of the king had in some innocent way displeased him. The order was given to smell her out, and the witch doctors did their horrible work. Execu- tioners were told off, and they were sent out to the young wife to tell her of her sentence. She dressed herself in her best ornaments, and determined to appear before the king to say ‘ good-by.’ She had been the ruler’s playmate and favorite sweetheart as a child, and she ventured to send a message to him asking permission to say ‘ good-by’ to him. The king refused the request. Calmly preparing for death, the young woman disregarded the denial, and walked to where His Majesty was sitting drinking champagne. She said to him : ‘ King, I have come to say “ Good- bye â€; tell me why you are killing me.’ The King vouchsafed no answer and turned his face away. The poor woman proceeded to bid adieu to the other wives and girls of the monarch. They stood in a row, and as she walked down in front of them she said : ‘ I am the ï¬rst, but there will be more of you to come after me. Without another Word she quietly followed her ex- ecutioners. The] led her about three miies from the kraal, across the Tillian river, and there hanged her on a low thorn tree. The rein by which she was sus- pended being too long, her feet nearly ‘ touched the ground, and strangulation was completed by beating the rein with sticks, the person of royalty being sacred to the ccmmon touch.†I see that some hypochondriac has written a letter to the papers protesting against the vigorous exercise now indulged in by young women, claiming that it gives them hands like those of hired men, and partly destroys the beautiful outlines of their person so deeply admired by men. He goes on to say that when a fellow wants a wife he doesn’t look or ask for for such accomplishments as the ability to ride a ï¬ery horse, drive in a tack with a rifle ball, row a. boat, or be a specialist in any acrobatic games. I used to reason in the same way years ago. When I was a. young man I married a girl who still abides with me. She was the daughter of an athlete, and from him she inherited a. love for such unwomanly practices as boxing, walking, and so on. much to my anoyance. I used to tell her that she might have been better employ- ed reading her Bible; but she seemed to enjoy it, and I didn’t want to be harsh. Well, one villainously cold winter I fell sick. I was stretched out on a bed, suf- fering the agonies of the ladiea and gen- tlemen in the nether world, unable to move hand nor foot. On a memorable morning a rap came to the door and my wife responded. When the portal was swung ajar she was con- fronted by a big raw-boned tramp, who looked as strong as a draugt horse. pHe endured he: with a rho‘iee col- lection of imported - and domes- tic onths_ that he wanted something to eat, and wanted it right away.

I Was lying there like a corpse, un- able to lift a. hand, and you may imgaine that my feelings were not boisterously hi- larious. \Vell, what did she do 2 Recovering from her scare, she wrench- ed her arm free and pasted that tramp in the mouth with her left . ' Before he could ï¬gure out what struck him he caught. her right on his neck and went down like a church. He came up pretty groggy and mad all over, but she wasn’t through with him. She just lammed that tramp around the eyes and neck until he made a. sneak for the gate, looking as though he had been run through a. cornâ€"shellcr. During the latter part of May or early in June a vigorous campaign should be entered upon. All carpets, clothes, cloth- covered furniture, furs and rugs should be thoroughly shaken and aired, and, if pos- sible, exposed to the sunlight as long as practicable. If the house is badly infested or if». any particular article is sup- posed to be ~ badly infested, a free use Of benzine will be advisable. All floor cracks and dark closets should be sprayedlwith this substance. Too muchpains cannot be taken to destroy every moth and ever) egg and every newly hatched larva, for immunity for the rest of the year depends largelyâ€"almost entirelyâ€" upon the thoroughness with which the work of extermination is carried on at this time. The benzine spray will kill the in- sect m every stage, and it is one of the few substances which will destroy the egg. I would, however. repeat the caution as to its inflammability. No light should be brought into a room in which it has been used until after thorough airing and until the order is almost dissipated. The proper packing away of furs and winter clothing through the summer is a serious matter. A great deal of unneces- sary expenditure in the way of cedar chests and cedar wardrobes and various compounds in the way of powders has been urged by writers on these pests. But ex- perience fully proves that after a. thorough treatment in May anu June, garments may be safely put army for the rest of the sea» son with no other protection then wrapping them closely in stiff paper. Ah excellent plan is to buy for a small sum, from a tailor, a number of pasteboard boxes in which they deliver suits, and carefully fold and pack away all clothes, gumming a strip of wrapping paper around the edge of the cover so as to leave no crack. These boxes will last for a lifetime with careful use. Others use for the same purpose ordinary paper flour sacks or linen pillow-cases, which answer well. The success of these means depends entirely on the thoroughness of the preliminary work. Camphor, tobacco, naphthaline and other strong odorants are only partial repellants, and without the precautions urged are of little avail.â€"Good Housekeep- ing, , PORT ARTHUR, May 20.â€"Quite a. sensa- tion was created in town to-day by the ar- rest here of Lee Whitehead, of Eau Claire, Wis. Whitehead came here on the steamer Ossifracre last Thursday and regis- tered at the Albion hotel. Thls forenoon on the steamer United Empire from Duluth came a person said to be his wife, and also Sheriï¬' Clarke, of Wisconsin ; and lawyer S. E. Cheeseman, of Duluth, having followed the woman, immediately after their arrival a warrant was issued for the arrest of Whitehead, who, it is said, is wanted for big forgeries and embezzle- ment in Wisconsin. He was foreman and paymaster in the woods for the Chippewa Logging Company. It is slleged that he embezzled the company’s funds and used ï¬ctitious names in paying men, and then endorsed the cheques and pocketed the money. It is said that he had full power to issue the company’s cheques, and that the embezzlement is heavy. Whitehead is now lodged in jail here, and if he re- fuses to go back extradition proceedings will be taken at once for his return. A preliminary hearing of the case will take place in the morning before Judge Hamil- ton. “I never complained of my condition but once,†said an old man, “when my feet were bare, and I had no money to buy shoes; but I met a. man without feet, and became contented.†“What’salife insurance ‘1†asked one boy of another. “Well, I make out,†said his companion, “it’s a concern that keeps a man poor all the time he’s alive so that he may die rich.†VERY LIKELY.--On a new building being erected in Partick recently a mason accidentally let- a large stone drop from the scaï¬'olding inside the building.
