We can scarcely pick up a paper now without being confronted with an ac- count of a. big disaster. Much of the trouble seems attributable to careless- ness or recklessness on the part of em- ployees. Only a. short time ago we read of an electric train at New York running off the track as it was trying to turn a curve at sixty or seventy after all for this sad condition of things. We’re living in afast age and everybody seems in a htu'ry to “ get there” when he goes on a journey of almost any kind. When a train is late how anxious the great majority of passengers are to know she’s mak- ing up lost time. The journey is end- ed with no accidents and the engineer comes in for a certain share of praise in getting his train through on time. There’s nobody hurt, and everybody is pleased. On the other hand let us imagine an accident to occur with bodily injury and loss of life and prop- erty and the engineer who was praised under identically similar circumstances is now cried down by the public as foolhardy and wreckless. . Who, after DURHAM CHRONICLE the Pennsylvania Railroad while‘ rounding a sharp curve at Black Diamond. The train was a fast ex- press running between New York and Chicago, and was 35 minutes late, and the engineer was trying to make up lost time, so the report goes. About 40 persons were injured, some serious- ly and 14 are said to be missing, and supposed to be buried in the debris at the foot of a sixty foot embarkment where the Pulmans are piled up in a heap of wreckage.

Cufi a very pretty wedding was celebrated last WedneSday at high noon, when his daughter Miss Georgian M. was united in marriage to Mr. th. Picken, both of this vicinity. The knot was securely tied by the Rev. Mr. Bice. The wedding march was played by Miss C. H. Hutton, Mr. Alf. Ashley supported the groom. The bride was given away by her father Mr. Geo. Cufi. The bride carried a bouquet of white carnations and maiden hair fern anduthe brides maid carried pink carnations and maiden hair fern. After the cere~ mony we went to the dining room where a sumptuous dinner was serv- ed, the tables being artistically dec- orated. The groom’s gift to the bride was a gold3bracelet. to the bridesmaid a pretty brooch The bride's wedding costume was white silk and wool eolienne trimmed with white allover lace and white ruch- ing and a white drOp silk skirt. The bridesmaid wore white dotted Swiss muslin trimmed with valenciennes insertion and pale blue ribbon. The ibride’s going away suit was blue ,cloth and a picture hat and gloves to ; match. The presents were many and fuseful, too numerous to mention. ,‘Among them werezâ€"Mr. Geo.

This vote the temperance party regarded as unfair, but the rank and file of the Reform ' party recognized then the importance of showing a strong temperance senti- ment and thought the exactions were . not too severe. We feel confident that a constituency carrying Local Option or any other measure by a three-fifths vote makes a much more healthy shoWing than a bare majority vote would make, and, moreover, the con- stituency or municipality bringing local option into effect by a threecfifths vote, must give a three-fifths vote to have the same measure repealed. As far as leader Graham’s position in the House is concerned there is no cause for astonishment. He is now in op- position and we expect him and his following to say something on these controversial subjects. Mrs. Joseph Rosy was the guest ‘ ,of Mrs. W. E.
