WOB;E AND WORSE. Time only heightens the horrors wrought by the premature explosion of a blast in the Northern Paoifio freight yards here last night. At 11 p. m. the men engaged in taking out the mangled viotims were forced to desist, because among the rooks which were being cleared away were five other blasts that might be exploded in the task of removing the mass of debris that buried the viotims. Up to that hour eighteen bodies had been taken out. There are yet 27 men unaccounted' for, all of whom are probably buried beneath the mighty mase of rook. The fatality wast terrible. The men were given no chance for life. It was either instant death or slight injury. There were about 200 pounds of giant powder in the blast. The aooident was paused by some one's oarelessness. The man in charge of the blast and three assistants were blown to atoms. It is the custom to prepare blade and charge them and at the hours- of 12 noon and 6 p.m., after the men have left work and gone to a place of safety, to elloot them. In this case it seems that one blast had been prepared and the foreman, C. McPherson,was preparing -'a second. The men had all finished their work, and _were nuitia. • . i i .'r . ' a . , a picking up their lunoh pails ready to go to their homes after the day's work, when they met a horrible and expected death. Either the rook was too hotdrom the notion of the drills or else the tamping exploded he second blast, and that exploded the first. A man who was tamping paid the penalty with his life. A man who stood beside him escaped with- slieht bruises, although 20,000 cubic feet of rook were hurled for hundreds of feet in every direc- tion. Another man who was near the deadly blast, and who was supposed to 'be dead, was seen shortly after the explosion in a half. crazed condition, walking around with hie clothing torn to shreds. v t, THE CLIFF FELL CN THEM.. The men were working in a out, levelling off the ground for'the new freight yards. The cliff of rook on the side of the , out which was being removed was twenty feet high. The blasts are so arranged that the rook is thrown toward the -out. Not antici- pating the blast, about 30. men were under the oliff when the blast exploded. A great mass of rock and earth rose in the air and -pitched over into the out, burying the men beneath its awful weight. None of them bad time to run, but a few escaped in a miraouloae manner. Over 100 men were at work in the adjoining oats and at once were on the scene of the accident and began with picks and shovels to search for bodies. From all over the huge mass of rock groans and shrieks issued, and the air was filled with the horrible noises and the appeals of the wounded and dying. A short half hour and all was still, except for the working- men with picks in band, w(ao by the light of lanterns worked late into the night remov- ing dead bodies. - ENGLISH NIGHT MAIL Comes to Grief on its Way to Paris—A Van Goes Ovcr an Embank= Ont—Onee Elan Killed. A Paris oable says Early this morning Paris was startled with a report that a frightful accident had happened on the Northern Railway. Information was soon forthcoming that the English night mail from London to Paris had come to grief. The following is the official report ofthe disaster whioh was embodied in the report made by the Chemin de Fer da Nord to the Minister of the Interior : " Between Allis/Allis/and La Faloise, the night mail from Lon- don ran into a piece of iron work that had been dropped by a goods train. The consequence was that the engine, two car- riages and the mail van left the rails and went over an embankment between five and six metres in height. Fortunately there wall only one passenger in the oar- riage that went over theembankment. He was an employee of the Chemin de Fer du Nord, and he was killed. The driver and fireman escaped. The guard had oompomid fracture of the leg and other injuries. The passengers escaped without injury. They were conveyed back to Amiens and brought on to Paris by another route,"and reached Paris at half -past nine with the mails. There was no interruption to the London - Paris traffio except a, delay ' of about a quarter of an hour to the half -past eleven express train through having to work tem- porarily on a Bingle lino. French Poultry Figures. Poultry -breeders may read with interest the following statistioe which have been collected, says our correspondent, for the French Department of Agriouitnre. The income derived by Frenob people who rear fowls, according to octroi and market re- turns, is 337,100,000 francs, of which 150,500,000 francs represent the value of the flesh and 183,600,000 francs that of the eggs.

The policeman followed the man to the oorner of Canal street, wherethe man pointed to a dirty -faced, weak-kneed lad not two feet high, who was standing com- placently on the corner with a lighted cigarette in hiahand. "I'm not going to arrest that kid," de- slaraa the nnljnamwn your up o'oi,sr s'on man. " What is your number ? I'll report yon for neglect of duty." When the lad felt the policeman's hand on his shoulder he cried, and 500 persona gathered in the apace of five minutes. Abuse was heaped on the head of the police- man by the onlookers, who declared it an outrage to arrest a ohild. The policeman never felt more uncomfortable, but he was nnabbato explain that he had made the arrest against his own inolination. The man who had paused the trouble disappeared. The boy was Meyer Levy, aged 7, of No. 16 Ludlow street. " Don't cry, there's a nine little boy," tenderly said the newly -appointed Justice, Clarenea, W.

STREET PAR HORROR. A Locomotive Crashes into a Car Injuring About a Dozen People, Some Fatally. A Cleveland despatch says : A frightful accident occurred at the Wilson avenue crossing of the New York, Chicago, and St. Louis railway in this city about 7.30 Satur- day evening, by which at least a dozen persons were terrible injured, some fatally. The crossing is on a steep grade, down which runs an eleotrio street railway line. At the time the aooident occurred a freight train was standing close to the crossing on the south track. An eleotrio motor, draw- ing one oar, was approaching from the south. The safety gates were put np, and the road apparently clear. Just as the motor had crossed the railway track a locomotive, running twenty miles an hour, dashed out frombehind the freight train. The pilot of the engine struck the electric train between the motor and trail car, tear- ing them apart and hurling one to each' side of the traok. At least a score of persons were .on the trail car, and they were tumbled about in all directions, some being hurled about a dozen feet away,and others pinned under the car, which was demoliehed. The street railway barns were close to the scene of the -wreck, and a rescuing party was soon on hand. The viotims were hurried away in ambulances to the hospitals. Following is a list of injured Minnie Mock, crushed, died at hospital ; J. A. Moore, right arm crushed, leg lacerated ; Annie Nieman, collar bone broken, face cut ; Louisa Mock, out on head and arms ; Edward Watson, right foot crushed ; Chas. Woods, body bruised : Geo. Somers, - leg ont ; George Neff, several bruises ; Lizzie Cable, badly braised; Lizzie and Eliza Bragg, cut on head and bruised ; Mrs. Mooney, leg sprained; Frank Rose, bruised about the hip, arm, and shoulder ; Leone, Howell, out about the legs and head. A New Variety. " Summer brave" is, according to the New York Sun, the very latest thing out in^ way of polite slang. A summer brave, says Mr. Dana, is not a dude, though his apparel is gorgeous and his general appear. mace wonderful to behold ; , he is not a Masher, though he is a heartbreaker, and he is not necessarily a brainless fop, though the presumption is strong that he comes close to it. He differs from these varieties of the tailor-made man in that he makes nis appearance in the warm season of the year alone, and at fashionable summer resorts exolneivdly.: He is not to be seen at Coney .Island, Cheltenham Beaoh, or other places where common people congregate, but he is numerous at Saratoga, Newport, Long Branch,. Waukesha, and Oconomo- woc. Whether he hascome to stay, or whether he will gradually fade away like the dude, is yet to early to tell.—Chicago News. Composing Machine.

If a bridegroom was to cudgel hie brains for a month could he think of anj'thing more embarrassing than to be made de- fendant, on the eve of his own wedding, in a suit for alienating a wife's affection. Suoh a case is before the Supreme Court. Cards were issued for the marriage of Edward C. Burkhardt, of the well-known real estate firm of Burkhardt Brothers,and Mies Laura Schmidt, daughter of Lorenz Schmidt, a well-known German citizen of High street. The complaint in an action brought by John F. McLaughlin against Edward C. Burkhardt for 610,000 damages, for alien- -a ..,;i.,, n n £%o 4 _ - • - er, was ' e ' with the clerk ofthe Supreme Court this morning. John F. McLaughlin is a newspaper man. For a number of years he was Buffalo man- ager for the Elmira Telegram. - At present he is special correspondent for a number of out of town newspapers. He alleges in his oomplaint that his wife, Myra McLaughlin, was assaulted by Edward C. Burkhardt at 184 Main street, in October, 1887, and that by threats Mrs. McLaughlin was made to continuo an intimacy with Burkhardt for two years thereafter. He olaims $10,000 damages. - place indicated was the Buffalo office of the Elmira paper, and Mrs. MoLaughlin was frequently there alone in charge of the office while her husband was away gather- ing news and collecting money. Mr. McLaughlin was found at his mother's residence, 432 Miohigan street,. anedead was at first adverse to talk about the . " It will do no good to talk about it," he said.

" What did you do then 2" " Confronted her with what I found out. She denied everything at first and after ward confessed all:" Mrs. McLaughlin is a brunette, petite of figure, dresses well and is rather good look- ing. She is , 27 years old. Her maiden name was Myra House and she name from Beameville, Ont., a village lying between Hamilton and St. Catharines. She was married to McLaughlin in this city July 8th, 1884, by Rev. G. Chapman Jones, formerly pastor of Asbury M. R. Chnrob. McLaughlin is one year older and is a dark- haired, bright-eyed, handsome young man. Mrs. McLaughlin claims, her husband says, that she was loyal to her marriage vows until she met Burkhardt. Lonis ,Brannlein is McLaughlin's attor- ney. Fie appeared before Judge Lewis yesterday and secured denial of, a demand from the other side been bill of particulars. The complaint was served several days ago, but not filed till to -clay. The defendant, through Roberts, Alexander & Mooser, his attorneys, makes a general denial. Divorce proceedings were begun, it is said, some time ago, but abandoned for a peculiar reason. Mrs. McLaughlin fell ill and her husband was sent for and spent the night at the sick woman's bedside car- ing for her. Constructively this was a condoning of the alleged offence. Some surprises are expected when the case comes to trial. At noon today it was learned that Mr.. Burkhardt and Miss Schmidt were married this morning at St. Louie' Church. • Things to Remember. Never fail to keep an appointment. Never delay in answering letters or re- turning books. Never tell long stories\ of which, you yourself are the hero. ,f Never inconvenience .'people by com- ing in late at church, theatre lecture or concert. - Never stop peoplewho are hurrying along the street and detain them for ten or twenty minuted: Never call on people just at bedtime, or daring dinner or before they are downstaira in the morning. Never, when _von see two people engaged in earnest talk, step in and enter upon a miscollaneone conversation. Never speak disrespectfully of yonr parents nor cf your sisters. People may laugh at yonr wit, but they will &spice yon for it. Never begin fo talk about "this, that and everything " to ono who is trying to read the morning paper or a book or anything else Never talk when others are singing or doing anything else for yonr amusement ; and never -the instant they are finished begin to talk upon a different topic.—New York World.

Yesterday the people attending the fair, says the Kingston Whig, saw a successful balloon ascension by Prof. MoEwen, Jack- son, Mich:, a famous aeronaut.

It was inflated in the centre of the field, and the operation wee seen cf'ietinetiy from ea parts ' of the groups. Before the canvas was ready to be filled there was a great deal of confusion. Small boys and men insisted upon crowding the professor in his work, and only by assum- ing a savage and determined attitude could he get along. He did the work of three policemen in keeping the .small boys out of the way. He secured twenty men to hold the balloon while it was being filled. Henry MoCambridgo anted as engineer in- side. The fire was made out of barrel staves and with a enlendid draft__mad.w t.Tk aar i is ns y tie annvae e`"gan to swell, and the professor remarked to the engineer : "Harry, is she filling rapidly ?" He replied : "You bet she is, and it is get- ting pretty hot inside." " We'll not be long on the ground," shouted Mr. MoEwen, as he leaped over the sod, In an instant he divested himself of his frock ooat and silk hat, and appeared in a glittering blue costume, fringed with silvery lace. He got his parachute in order and in a short time was ready for the ascension. Slowly 'the balloon began to rise upwards, while the people watched it with intense interest. When it left the earth the professor sprang on the bar hanging from the canvas and in hie flight sang out, " Good bye, Good bye, remember Josie Mills to -night." He rose over 1,000 feet, drifting to the south. He then jumped with his parachute which had been attached to the side of the balloon. The supreme moment in the affair was when he left the balloon, and before the parachute opened. The drop was very suc- cessful and the professor landed on Caton's property near the Montreal road, in view of hundreds of people, who had followed him. One young lady was so overcome, by the eight of the man doming down that she fainted away. The balloon was recovered a short distance from where the professor landed. "BOUT YOURSELVES." What Happened at a Wholesate.Weddinf in Penney 'van Ia. There lived some years ago in Western Pennsylvania, according to " Harper," an old oiroait preacher, Father West by name, whose genial humor and kindliness of heart had g}eatl endepedrhim i,o all,the people ., zza. with the young folks matrimonially inclined, and his opportnuities to " tie ,the • knot " were numerous. On one oceasion he tonna- upon his arrival at a certain town, sevefal couples awaiting hie blessing. The old man was tired and wished to make short work of the job. " Stand np," he • began, " and jine hands." Which being done, he rattled through a marriage service that, like himself, was original. " There," ' he said, when it way finished, " ye can. go ; ye're man and wife, ey'ry one o' ye." Two of the couples hesitated, and finally made . it apparent that in the sadden " lining " • they had become confused, and has taken the hands of the wrong persona. The old • situation, but he instantly straightened up, and with a wave of his hand diseersed them. " I married ye all," he said ; " sort, yourselves." . Passionate Heroines. The "Speaker's" second article addressed to lady novelists is " on heroines who burst and roll across the floor." This heroine - (we read) is as " untiring in her efforts to please" as an actress, and she begins at once. ' She never merely laughs or cries;. she bursts, whether it be into laughter or tears, as recklessly as the circus ladies burst through tissue paper. She does nothing, indeed, in the common way. When she visits friends she its down (plump) on their invitation, and after the Guardsman goes she falls heavily ou hie departure. In her agony she rolls across her bedroom floor with herbair down. In real life, perhaps, she oonld not be quite so regardless of her person (not to speak of her clothes), but she is a nelioious sense- tiontie read:. about.
