The horrible acoident on the Blue Hideo trestle last Thursday, by which a young negro woman lost her life and a negro child was seriou-ly injured, only by a miracle escaping death, brings us to wonder that years and years bav9 passed by beforo the inovitablo happenod. For twenty years trains have been passing ovor tho structure almost in the hoartof towu, and duriug that time tho railway track and trestle havo boon used to a great extent ns a public thoroughfare. Wheic such is tho case it is but a ques tion of timo until human lifo wiil bo sac rificed. Tho trestle is about 200 foot long and ">0 fot.I high. Its continued uso by pedestrians is a coustant monuco to lifo. Thoro is scarcely a citizen of tho town who bas not at somo time used this trestle instead of going by tho strict at tho side, which is not properly opened, and consequently not so easy to travel as tho trestle. Tho question is, is not tho lifo of this young negro woman too great a prico to pay for tho convonieuco of the trestle as a public thoroughfare for tho past twonty years? Thon, too, what guarantee havo we that twonty years will again elapse before another viotim is claimed? Life is too precious to bo hazarded for a slight convenience. It strikes us that the proper thing for tho town authorities to do is to pass an ordinance making it a misdemeanor for pedestrians to use the trestle, fixing a rino for so doing, and posting due notice of such action at each ond of the trestle. Tho street runniug parallel with the rail way tracks can bo put in good order for pedestrians at a small cost, and it should bo dono. This horrible accideut may nover occur again-it may occur to-day. Which is better, to tompt fate, or to pass a law to protect thoso who otherwise thought lessly jeopardize their lives? Chapped hands aro quickly curod by applyiug Chamberlain's Salve. Prico 20c.

Rome, Italy, Nov. 18.-A bomb was ex ploded scar the high altar in St. Peter's to-day. The ?difi?e was crowded, and an indescribable scene of confusion followed the explosion. Thore were no fatalities. As Boon as the oohoes of tho tremen dous roar had ceased a canon sought, by reassuring words, to quiet the people, but in vain. They Hud in all directions, and a number of women fainted. Women and children screamed and men tried to protect their families in the crush. The church is so large, however, that there was ample room for the crowd to scatter, and no one was injured. No trace of the perpetrator o* the deed has been found. St. Anaolotus, who was ordained by Peter himself, erected an oratory in 00 A. D., on the site of the present basilica to mark the spot where tho remaius of St. Peter are hurled. To-day was the anniversary of the dedi cation of the basilioa to St. Peter, and it was beautifully decorated for th? oc casion. Holy relics were exposed and a largo number of the faithful attended the services. Cardinal Rampolia, formerly papal secretary of State, was among those present. He took part in the service in tho choir obapol. Tho last mass had just boen concluded whon tho explosion occurred, aud only ono canon, who had not quite finished, remained at the altar of St. Petronila. This altar is at tho end of tho right aisle, and it was near boro that the bomb had boou placed. As tho canon turned to bless tho communicant?, there was a tro n?ndoos roar which echoed through the lofty ai ches of thc immense dome like a thunderclap. At tho snroo time a denso smoko spread throughout this portion of tho basilica, and a strong odor of gunpowder lilied tito air. Confusion and panic at onco seized tho people. Tho canon at tho altar tried to stom tho fido of fear. Ho shouted out: "Do not bo afraid; it is nothing; morely tho noonday gun." His words, however, had littlo effect. They wore refuted by the smoko and tho pungent smell of powdor aud tho people oontinuod their headlong Hight. Chairs were overthrown, making the confusion moro serious. Mon ana women lied, stumbling in all directions, tho screams of children and orles of anguish were hoard oo all sides, and for a few minutes it Boomed as if nothing could obviate a grave disaster. The vast size of the churob, however, gavo room for tho crowd to scatter, anet at the ond of a few moments the people were surging to ward the doors, excited and nervous, but orderly. As soon as the smoke cleared away a hasty examination showed that nobody had beeu hurt in the churoh and that no one had been wounded by the explosion. Calm was gradually restored ana people roturned to view the extent of the dam age. It was discovered that the bomb had boon placed under a soaffolding which had been erected to faoilitato repairs to tho roof oxactly over the celebrated tomb of clement XIII. When tho first gen darmes reaohed the spot tho scan'olding was found to be smouldoriug, but this lire was easily extinguished. The tomb was found to be uninjured and even tho pavement shows scarcely any signs of tho explosion. A Methodist Minister Recommends Chamber lain's Cough Remedy.
