The San Fernando cotton factory, near the City of Mexico, was burned. Five operatives perished in the flames. A terrible railway catastrophe occurre 1 near Streator, 111. The incoming noon passenger train on the Burlington road, at Otten creek, two and one-half miles from town, had been Sagged by a man f i om a freight that had stuck on the grade this side of the crock, and had stopped just by the north bridge. Another freight was following close behind the passenger. A flagman went back, but he had not gone far before tho train was upon him. The grade is very he.tv.v, and before the freight could be stopped it plunged into the rear coach of the passenger train, ' crushing the car into fragments. A scene of wild confusion ensued. Four of tlie passengers were killed outright, while tho cries of the wounded could be heard on all sides. 4Two other passengers died shortly after of their injuries, and nine were badly wounded, some fatally. The locomotive exploded after penetrating the cars, half the vietims being scalded to death. A passenger, who was one of the slightly injured, says it all happened so quickly that he could not describe it. There was 9 crash, the enr filled with steam, and then in a few moments all was still. He did not hear any cry or call f roai the two women who were killed. They were In the scat in front of him. He found them breathing their last. Pearre, one of the men kilted, was sitting just behind him. If it had been a flash of lightning that struck them it could not have come more suddenly. Dr. J. H. Finley and Ed Smith, injured ia

the railroad disaster near Streator, 111., are dead, making eight victims in all. The balance of the wounded are on the road to recovery. The wrecked coach was literally splintered to pieces, and the only wonder is that any one could have been in there and come out alive. Tho engine drove more than half way through tho car, crushing the floor into tho smallest possible i'ragmonts. All around lay portions of the wreck wheels, cars, -fragments of doors all attesting the fearful force of the shock, Several pieces of skin, with nails attached, from scalded, shriveled hands, were picked up. The jury of inquest found that the coming train could not have been more than 400 feet away, as it came down from the north. .The passenger train had been driven forward perhaps 800 feet by the force of the collision. Conductor Mat Kennedy, of the fated passenger train, gave a straightforward account of the accident. He was flagged about forty rods from where the accident occurred. When the train slacked up for the flagman, Conductor Kennedy went to tbe engino to find out what the obstruction was. The train ran along slowly until it had approached within ten car-lengtlis of tho gravel train in front, which the switch-engino was nnable to move. Feeing this, he ran to the rear end of his train and ordered his brakeman to flag the freight which he knew to be behind him. The brakeman got the flag, but had gone but about lour car-lengths when the freight came crashing down the grade, and the engine was buried in tho passenger-coach. Tho freight was a wild train, and should not have run faster than eighteen miles an hour, nnd should not have been closer than five minutes behind the passenger, which it was not.

WIDOW BRIG G8. fftty tUie Lost l'lenh and Mad to Leavt Michigan From the Detroit Free Prces.1 A span of ponies attached to an-emi

' grant wagon, containing a woman and j three children, and various household goods, halted on Grand Biver avenue I to have a blacksmith set a shoe for one ' of horses. As the woman seemed to be ' alone, or at least had no man in sight, the smith asked: "Old man sick?" "No, sir; I buried him up the country a year ago." "Then you are a widow?" "I reckon I am, and my name it Briggs." "Which way are you jogging?" "Going southeast may be into Indiana." "Got sick of Michigan?" continued the blacksmith, as he pared away at the hoof. "Well, the State is good enough," she slowly answered. "Some might) fine land, good schools, and tolerable weather, but I had to get out of where I was. I lost a pound a week right along for the last three weeks.". "Ague?" "Humph! I'd like to see the ague upset us! No, sir! My husband wasn't cold before I had an offer oi marriage ! It wasn't a month before 1 had three of 'em. Why, it wasn't six months before their tracks were as thick around my house as cat-trails on the snow!" "Had your pick, eh?" "Pick! I could have married anybody from my hired man to a chap .who owned a section of land and: four saw-mills. They came singly and in droves; they came by day and by night." "And you you " "Say, you!" she exclaimed, as she drew herself up, "do I look like an idiot?" "No, ma'am." "Well, when I fling, my three children at the head of a second husband and give up the $800 in cash in my pocket, you can call me an idiot. No, sir! I repelled 'em." "And they got?" "They had to. Susan, hand me that second-husband repeller. It's in the back end of the wagon." The girl hunted around and fished up a hickory club four feet long, and the woman held it out for inspection nd said: "There's hairs of six different colors sticking in the splinters, and these blood-stains are the pure quill. You can judge whether they sat there and made love, or tore down the front fence in their hurry to reach the woods." "By George!" whispered the smith, after a long inspection. "Well, I guess you don't want to marry." "K'rect, sir. If you have any old widowers in this town, or if you know any one between here and Indiana who wants a headache that will last all winter without any letting up, just put 'em up to begin to ask me if my heart don't yearn for love and my soul rattle around for some one to call me darling!" TUJB VUZZLMV JURY. Clergymen are often accused of preaching above the heads of their congregations. ' The accusation is wellfounded in some cases, and doubtless the old woman was right when she asked her pastor, just after he preached a learned but obscure sermon, "Sir, did not the Master say, 'Feed my lambs?' Why, then, do you insist on feeding the oomelopards?" But the pulpit is not the only place where obscurity enters, as the following anecdote shows : A good law story is told of a case in the United States District Court at Albany many years ago. A patent-right suit was on before Judge Nelson. William H. Seward was counsel on one side. In summing up, he occupied a whole day. The counsel on the other side also made a long speech, and the Judge charged. After the jury had been out about two hour they came into court, and the foreman said, "Your Honor, the jury would like to ask a question." Judge You can proceed. Foreman Well, your Honor, we would like to know what this suit is about. JPlt 4.X tK AND TJEAItS. It is a good sign for a strong man to be downright homesick, and he need not be ashamed of it if he cries once in a while, "Capt. Poolittle?" said to Jonathan Slick, whom he found in tears in New York and longing for his Connecticut home, 'Tve seen the time, Jonathan, when a minister's prayers didn't seem half so easin' to the heart. A.n honest chap might as well feel streaked about saying the Lord's prayer, for the tears that thinkin' of that we love sets agoin' have eenamost s much religion about 'em as singin fwxd prayin' and goin' to meetin'. Prayer, Jonathan, prayer falls upon the natur like the warm sun on a patch of young onions and tears, genuine tears, that come from tender thoughts of home, Jonathan, well, consarn me if they ain't the rain that keeps the young shoots jreen,
