chopping their heads off with a broadax. truest, the wisest, Mr. Lamar has stood
among the foremost, where the conflict
was most lurid and the blows fell thick-
est and heaviest, and now that peace
has been achieved, there is a kind of
"poetic justice" in his elevation to one
of the noblest dignities in the gift of'the
nation, by the President whose election
was made possible by a movement in
which he bore so conspicuous a part.
Mr. Lamar is a democrat bnt not a
partisan, he is a scholar and a statesman
but not a politician and above all he is a
patriot, He rose above the bitterness
engendered by the wrongs inflicted upon
the South and looking out to thc Union
loving men of the North sought their aid
to restore his beloved South to her place
in the family of States. Standing thus
upon an eminence, the waves of section-
al hate meeting from the opposing ex-
tremes broke at his feet and thfe breath
of a purer atmosphere was about him.
Thus he could eulogize the ability,learn-
ing and eminent public services of
Charles Sumner and defend Jeff Davis
against the false aspersions of Gen.
Sherman, with entire consistency. He
could favor the election of Greeley in
opposition to the lmpracticables of the
South, and he could plead the cause of
these same impracticables against the
fanatics of the North; he could say to
the North "we surrendered in good
faith," and to the South, "your man-
hood is pledged to abide the results o f
the war,

them as to their choice for President.
Replies from seventy of them indicate

New York, Jan. 22.—Dr. Carl Daniel
Adolf Donai, editor of the Volks Zeituug,
died here yesterday,aged sixty nine years.
He was one or the best known socialistic
writers, ranking with Carl Marks, Las-
selle and Frederick Engle. He was a na-
tive of Saxe, Altenberg, and a graduate
of the University of Leipsic, was of Hu
guenot blood and a born revolutionist.
He took prominent parts in the uprisings

French against Germany in the Franco
Prussian war. His body will lie embalm-

cremated.
Houston, Tex., Jan. 19.—Judge C.
Anson Jones, the most polished and schol-
arly member of the Houston bar, died to
night after an illness of about two weeks
duration. His friend* thought that he
was recovering until within t«e past few
days, when lie grew worse and died of
paralyse of the brain. He was the sou
of Anson Jones, lust President of the Re-
public of Texas, and was thirty-eight
years of age. He was Count}* Judge for
several terms and was the present City
Attorney. No man in the city stood
higher than he. He was never married,
but his mother brother and sister survive
him.
Galveston, Jan. 18.—A special from
Knnis .-ays; Seven persons were drown
cd to-dav in Sand Lake, about ten nnlas
east of Ennis. Two young women,
daughters of William Williams, a farm-
er, and a young man named Babbitt
were skating on the lake when the ice
gave way and they sank iu four and a
half feet of water. Miss Babbitt and
two little girls aged eight and fourteen
years, also daughters ot Williams, who
were on the shore watching the sport,
were drowned in attempting to rescue
their friends. A very small child of
Williams also fell through the ice, but
was saved by one of the drowning young
ladies catching and throwing it out on
thc ice.
Young Williams, a brother. of the
young ladies drowned, was a quarter of
a mile away at his home. He saw the
trouble and ran to the assistance of the
unlortunates, but he was soon everpow-
<■ red by the struggles ot those who were
drowning, and he, too, was drowned.
Mrs. Williams, thu mother, made an ef-
fort to save tbem all,but she was pulled
down, and would have met the fate of
her childaen but for thc timely aid of
her two daughters, aged ten and twelve
years. These children threw her a rope
and scceeded in pulling hci ashore.

Ad Engineer'a Story-
Tt was with this same night freight
that I had a startling adventure the next
summer. I had gone to bed and to sleep
before it came in. It was exeatly 11,50
as shown by the clock, when I got a call
on the instrument, and as I sprang out
of bed I heard the operator at Iv , a
station eighteen milles below me, click-
ing off, '-For God's sake, stop and side
track No. 8 ! There's a runaway engine
coming up the line." I got this b^ear,
you understand, and I gave him an O.
Iv. as soon as he was done. Iu three
minutes I was out of doors and had my
"Dinger—Stop!" signal set for the first
time in months, and as I started down
the track with my lantern I could hear
the rumble of No. 9, as she crossed the
bridge three miles above. She was on
time and booming right along, but it was
clear, and the red light would stop her.
I should have told yon that there were
two tracks in fiontos the station. One
was thc main track, of course, and the
other a long siding with a switch at ei-
ther end. No. 9 had the right of way
at night,Jand instead ofjsidc tracking he:
I proposed to switch off the runaway. I
went down the tics as hard as I could
run, and just as I reached thc switch I
heard No. 9 blow f<fcr my station. While
I was unlocking thc switch ths engineer
called for brakes, and then I knew he
had seen thc light and would stop. I
pulled the bar over and then picked up
my lantern and ran back, reaching thc
station just as the heavy freight was com
ing to a stand. My purpose was to run
down and open the other switch, and
thus let thc runaway out on the main
track again, lo run until her steam went
down, but I had scarcely moved one hun-
dred yards when I heard her coming. It
was then too late, alid I stood on the
olatform to see her go past. She was
truly a runaway. She had broken away
from the accommodation ' train, which
came no further than G and was
coming with a full head of steam on and
everything roaring. There was gross
carelessness iu bringing about this acci-
dent, but it was covered up and kept out
of print We could hear the ruuaway a
mile off and we could locate her as she
came through the woods by the shower
of sparks flying from the smokestack.
On she came, and as she struck the
switch it seemed as if she must go over.
There was a click-cty-clash and a bang,
and she righted and whizzed past us like
a fiery arrow.
We knew what would happen at the
other end of the siding. There was a
field beyond, and when the runaway left
the rails, she tore up a hundred feet of
track, and made splinters of a score of
ties and plowing her way into the field
for a quater of a mile blew up. Had
she encountered 9 on thc main track
there must have been a terrible smashup
' At the speed she was going the runaway
would have climbed mht oti top of the
train. After the explosion I entered
the station and called for K to give
him the news, but he could not be rais-
ed. I could not get him until thc usual
hour next morning, and then I learned
something which made my hair stand on
end. He had not heard a word of the
matter. He was not iu his office when
the accommodation passed, and he had
heard nothing from G the station
above where the engine broke away. I
then called for the agent at G , and
it turned out that at 5 o'clock on the af-
ternoon previous he had met with an ac-
cident by which he had been delirious
all night. When they went for him to
telegraph about the engine, he was in
bed and being held by two men, and
they did not even try to make him un-
derstand what had happened. As a mat-
ter of fact and record, no living hand
had checked that message to me. Every
man on the line was examined but all de-
nied it, I heard it came from lv ,
IIow do I explain it ? 1 never could. I
have had people tell me it was mind tel-
egraphing to mind, but you can take any
theory you wish. I was called for in the
usual way, understood fully what was
being said and hurried out to do what I
haye described. The matter has been a
mysteiy and a puzzle for years, and I
have no hope of a solution.
How did I lose my leg? Well, there
was a mystery about t hat. We had
changed our time and a passenger train
passed my station at i a. m. 1 awoke
one night>at 1 o'clack and feeling that
the upper sw'tch had been left open by
the freight train. I lighted my lantern
and ran up there and sure enough, it
stood wide opea, and a death trap had
been set for the express. T closet! it
and was on my way back when three
cars which had broken away from the
freight- several miles away, ai the top of
a graee, came'whooping down, and in
trying to get out of the way I made a
stumble and got my legs under the
wheels. I dragged myself into the sta-
tion ami tried to call up the office above
me, bul could raise no line. The cars
were missed aad banted from ene end of
the line to the other, and, strangely
enough, they could not be found. It was
an odd3thing to lose cars in this fashion,
and before they got thraugh searching
men walked over evcy foot of the line.
It was six was six weeks before they
were found. Thsy had left the rails at a
j curvc near a steep bank, and had gone
I over the rocks into a deep river without
! leaving a trace. It was as if they had
I been picked np and filing over by human

Justice Lamar Takes the (Xtfh and Hi
Seat-
Washington. Jan. 18.—The Supreme
Court of the United States sits with a
full bench to-day foi- the first time since
the 4th of May, 1885. Mr. Lamar reach-
ed the Capitol a littie after 11 o'clock
this morning, ami proceeded to the jus-
tice's room of the Supreme Court,where
the oath of office, the ordinary modified
oath, was administered to him iu pri-
vate.
The judicial oath was administered in
public immediately after the day's ses-
sion was opened.
The small space reserved for thc gen-
eral public was crowded with strangers,
but the space within the inclosure re-
served for the bar contained not more
than the u<ual number of lawyers.
Among the people of note present was
the Attoruey-Gcueral and the New
Secretary of State, Mr. Vilas.
The judges in their black silk robes,
filed into the chamber in solid procession
at 12 o'clock, and the assemblage, at the
tap of the marshal's gavel, arose re-
spectfully and remained standing until
the members of the court had taken
their places. Mr. Lamar, clad in a well
fitting suit of black, followed the court
and took his sea" beside Clerk McKinney
at the right of the bench.
The. Chief Justice announced that the
first proceeding would be the reading of
the commission of Mr. Lamar, and the
administration of the oath. The com-
mission was then handed to the clerk
who read it, after which Mr. Lamar
read impressively from manuscript the
judicial oath as follows:
"I. L. Q. 0. Lamar, do solemnly
swear that I will administer justice wits-
out respcct topersousand doequal justice
to the poor and to thc rich, and that I
will faithfully and impartially dis-
charge and perforin all the duties incum-
bent on me as associate justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
according to the best of my abilitiy and
understanding, agreeable to thc Consti-
tution and laws of the United States, so
hell) me God."
He took the Bible as he uttered the
last sentence, and at the end he solemn-
ly kissed if. He was then escorted be-
hind the screen,-whit h extends the length
of the bench behind the chairs of thc
justices, and after a minute's delay re-
appeared at the left, clad in a new,flow-
ing robe of giossy black silk. The court
and the assemiilage arose, the new jus-
tice bowed 10 his associates and then to
the bar and to the public, and took his
seat inthe chair of junior justice at
the extreme left of the Uench.
The court (iron proceeded with its
ordinary routine of liusineas.

Chicago, .fan. 17.—A special from
Omaha savs: When Tbursdak's blizzard
came up, a teacher, ?diss Minnie Free-
man, who is still in her teens, was at
the little sciroo'house of Myra Valley
district with thirteen pupils, ranging iu
age from six to fifteen years. The first
blast of the blizzard struck the school-
house with such force as to tear the door
from its hinges. A second terrific gust
carried away the roof,leaving the fright-
ened little ones exposed to t!io elements
The plucky teacher was equal to the
emergency. She gathered her pupils to-
gethei, and securing a coil of strong
heavy twine, began with the largest and
tied them all together by their arms,
three abreast. Taking the youngest in
her arms, she tied the end of the twine
around her own body, und with all. the
words of encouragement she could mus-
ter, started out into the furious storm.
Selecting her way carefully, thc brave
girl led her little charges through the
snow drifts and the blinding blizzard,
and after a wearisome journey of three-
quarters of a mile, thc little baud reach-
