Railroad Accident*
Cincinnati, Jan. 3.—A special Irom
Greenwood, Ky., says: The fear grows
uourly that the moat terrible part of the
-jVory of Saturday's wreck remains to be
told. Ad time wears on, and the wrcck
w being clearcd away, the preseuce of
more victims in the debris becomes ap-
jwront.
When the wreck occurred a number
of passengers who were in the ladies'
coach and smoking cars on the north-
bound traiu, succeeded in makiog their

attached to the scalp of a woman. The
fle*h, of course, was burned awav, but
the long locks are in a good state
preservation.
Almost in the same spot where the
hair was found Mr. Gillespie found a
child'* shoe. The other shoe has not yet
been fouud, neither has any account
been given of the loss of a child.
A little deeper in the debris, in the
same spot where the hair and tshoe were
found, a letter was picked up. It was
written in a good, plain, feminine hand,
dated St. Augustine, Florida, addressed
to "Dear Lulu', and signed "Bena,"
There is nothing in the letter to give
any clew to the name of the writer and
receiver, and the envelope cannot be
found.
After the accident, scarcb was made
for an unkuown man who was seen to
enter the toilet room of the ladies' coach
on the northbound train an instant be-
fore the crash came. He was never
seen again, and all efforts to locate him
proved futile. It is believed that he was
unable to get out of the little apartment
and was burned to death in the car. It
is belived that the bones found Inst
night are those of the man and a woman
The child was probably with
its uother and died with her and its
boiiy was bnrned in the debris.
The suspicion grows that there are
more people burned in the wreck than
were extricated.
Referring to the special report from
Greenwood to the effect that additional
remains of victims bad been found in
the debri' Capt. Carroll says: there is
not a particle of truth in the story. He
suys that every employe of . the road,
connected with both trains, and all the
passengers had been accounted for.

Death of Col- .Britton-
Col. J. H. Britton, one of Grayson
county's most prominent and estimable
citizens, departed this life at 2:30
o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Wake-
field hotel in Sherman, the cause of his
death being rheumatism of the heart. It
was his understood wish that his remains
be interred among bis kinsmen at Leha-
nou, Tenn.. and in fulfillment of that
desre they were shipped to that point on
i useriay. But though our sifter city
could not claim the honor of furnishing
the last resting place for him who hail
done so much towards her prosperity,
she yet bad the sad gratification of pay
ing a fitting tribute to his distinguished
merits in the imposing funeral solemni
ties with which she honored his remains.
These services were concluded by the
Rev. J. Carpenter, at the Wakefield
House on Tuesday morning and were
attended by the Grayson Rifles in
body, and the largest assemblage of
prominent meu ever seen together on an
occasion of the kind in the history of
the city,The coffin containing the estim-
able dead was placed in the hearse at 11
a. m. and. followed by the largest funer-
al cortege ever seen in the county, made
its way to the union depot. Here the
remains were turned over to the express
company to be shipped to their already
mentioned destination.
Col. Britton was 52 vears of age at the
tjme of his death and unmarried. He
was senior member of the firm of Brit-
LXon railroad contractors ah<
builders in which capacity he was known
in every part of the State. He was
business man of keen discernment an<
steadfast purpose, and accomplishet
what he undertook with never failing
success. Eminently practical in his
views of public affairs, he was to a self-
sacrificing extent the enemy of political
sinecures. Appointed railroad commis-
sioner by Governor Ireland in 1884 he
served only long enough to find that the
otiice was unnecessary when he resignec

Immigration-
Clarendon, Tex., Jan. 4,—A large and
enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Don-
ley and attached counties was held at the
courthouse yesterday afternoon to testify
their hearty co-operation in the great im-
migration movement.
An organization of a local association
was made and strong resolutions were
passed calling upon all good citizens to
co-operate and aid in the development and
improvement of our social and industrial
interests by encouraging the immigration
of honest, industrious and law-abiding
people. Resolutions were also passed ap-
pointing an executive committee and
thanking the Texas railways for the
promptness and liberality with which
they have responded to the wishes of the
people
After the reguiar resolutions had been
adopted, it was resolved that all the coun-
ties of the Panhandle be invited to assem-
ble in convention at Clarendon about the
end of January, for the purpose of organ-
izing a Panhandle Association to encour-
age immigration into the Panhandle.
Strong speeches were made by the Hon.

No Universal Remedy
has yet been discovered; but, as at least
four-fifths of human diseases have tlieir
source in Impure Blood, a medicine
which restores that fluid from a de-
praved to a healthy condition comes as
near being a universal cure as auv that
can be produced. Ayer's Sarsaparilla
affects the blood in each stage of its
formation, and is, therefore, adapted to
a greater variety of complaints than any
other known medicine.
Boils and Carbuncles,
which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayer's Sarsaparilla after a comparative-
ly brief trial.
Mr. C. K. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va., writes that for years he was af-
flicted with boils which caused him
much suffering.' These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he lias not had
even a pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable com-
plaints. Consumption being only oue of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, a capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of a scrofulous taint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfigured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
Alt sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayer's Sarsaparilla a fair
trial, — avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and csiiecially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect a cure, but more frequently
aggravate aud confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.

Detroit, Mich., Jan 1.—Gen. John Pul-
ford is very ill at his residence here.
Christmas night he was taken with spasms
and the next day it was found that his whole
left side was paralyzed. He has not left his
bed since, and he is hourly threatened with
a recurrence of the shock
It has been said that no man survived be-
ing hit with a solid shot from a cannon. At
Malvern Hill, July 1, 1862 Pulford, then a
captain, was lying on his face with others
supporting a battery, when a solid shot
struck the ground eighty feet distant,
glanced up into the air and fell on Pulford,
strikiug him on the left side of the head. It
split hi3 skull about the ear half way around
his head, broke his jaw and pulverized his
collar-bone The shock threw him up in the
air about three feet, and he fell full length
on his face and was left for dead
Two weeks after he was in Libby Prison
Richmond, unconscious and dilirious. He
was taken in exchange to Baltimore and
placed in the hospital, and for six weeks he
was so violent that he had to be chained.
Consciousness finally returned, and he re-
covered rapidly and soon rejoined his regi-
ment.
But in the Wilderness he received a se-
vere wound in the neck which has caused
him more annoyance than the solid shot. The
shot cut away a portion of the backbone
between the shoulder blades, and the result
is nervous twitching of the back and shoul-
ders and a compete shattering of his nervous
organization. He is obliged to keep an elec-
tric battery almost constantly applied to
that spot, and to take opiates to quiet his
nerves. Gen. Pulford will probably live
onlyja few days.
I once beard a man say, moving from
Macon county, Alabama, to the moun-
tains of North Georgia, that he had
rather go and farm in a country where it
took three billvgoats ti> cliuib one hill,
than to remain in a country where it
took three alligators to live one year.

Ottawa, Ont., Jan. 7.—Further partiej
ulars of the collision of freight trains, last
Wednesday, on the Lake Superior section
of the Canadian Pacific railroad, have
been received. The trains collided 011 a
trestle work bridge between Peninsula
and Stewart station. The trestle gave
way and the trains tumbled, car after car,
into the ravine below, a distance of eighty
feet, The engiue drivers and brakenien,
seven in all, were hurled down with the
cars, and, with the exception of one brake-
man, who jumped into a tree were instant-
ly lulled. Charles Atkinson is the only
one killed whose name is known. The
place where the accident occurred is one
of the wildest and most dangerous parts
of the new line between Sudbury and Win-
nepeg. The horseshoe, as, it is generally
called, is an immense series of trestle
works over the ravine. It is about three-
fourts of a mile long and about 120 feet
high in the center. All the ears were
fined with freight and everything was
smashed to atoms. The train coming
east was laden with Manitoba grain,
thousands of bushels of which are lviug
all over the ice.
A New Matrimonial Scheme-
At a recent wedding reception in South
Carolina, a young lawyer proposed anew
matrimonial scheme |as follows : That
one man in the company be chosen as
President; and that this President be du-
ly sworn to keep entirely secret all com-
munications that should be forwarded to
him in his official capacity that night,and
that each unmarried lady or gentleman
should write his or her name 011 a piece
of paper, and under it the name of the
person he or she wishes to marry, then
liand it to the President tor inspection,
.and if any lady or gentlemsn had recipro-
cally chosen each other, the President was
to inform each of the result and those who
had not been reciprocal in their choice to
be kept secret. The result was that twelve
young ladies and gentlemen had made
reciprocal choices, and eleven out of the
twelve matches have deen solemnized.
Eight of the lucky young meu have con-
fessed that so great was their diffidence
that they should never have addressed
their present wives had it not been for the
above scheme. *

the two survivors kept up the domestic
establishment, assisted somewhat by the
neighbors. Mrs. Allen told a number of
her acquaintances, and ber statements
were confirmed by Mrs. Bove, that the lat-
ter, who was once noted for her beauty,
was tbetrothed in her youth to a young
man living near her Pennsylvania home,
who her parents forbid her to marry,they
favoring another suitor, who was James
Buchanan, afterwards president of the
United States. Not being able to get the
consent to marry the man of her choice
she concluded to live a single life, and
it was not until she had nearly reached ,
her seconed childhood that she was invei-
gled into the unfortunate marriage noted.
She settled in this section with her sister,
Mrs. Allen, about thirty-five years ago,
has always been highly respccted by her
neighbors. The statement by her sister
that Mrs. Bove was the betrothed of Mr.
Buchanan was not made for notoriety,
and it is inferred that he remained a bach-
elor on account of his affection tor her.

One Year in a Dark Room-
A fearful case of cruelty against a boy
was brought to light at Vienna, Austria.
The widow Rosa Brand lived with a lover
of hers, who objected to the son of Rosa,
a boy of 12 years, being in the same
house with him. The mother locked the
boy up in a dark room without a bed or
any other furniture and kept him there
for more than a year, when a denuncia-
tion against her was bronght by neigh-
bors. The judge had no right by the
law of the land either to punish the wo-
man or to take the boy from her. He
could only reprove her and threaten that
the boy would be taken from her if she
repeated the offcnce.

AVhich the bills of mortality of any large
city may be fitly designated, and you will
find thai renal find vesical mnlafiies, that is
to say, those i!i t affect the kidreys and
bladder, have a remarkable prominence—
we had almost said—preponderance.
Bright's disease aud diabetes in the chron-
ic stage are rarely cured, and gravel, ca-
tarrh of the bladder and enuresis, slay
many. Yet at the outset, when the trou-
ble merely amovnts to inactivity of the or-
gans involved, the danger may be nullified
by that pleasant renal tonic and diuretic,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which imparts
the requisite amount of tone to the organs,
without overexciting them, and the use of
which is convenient, and Involves no elab-
orate preparation. Dyspepsia, a usual
concomitant of renal disease, and dbility,
which they invariably produce, are remedi-
ed by it. So also are constipation, malari-
al rheumatic and nervons ailments. J
