WRECK ON BLUE RIDGE. Blue Ridge Passenger Train Ran into Southern Freight. Last night Blue Ridge passenger train No. ll, due to arrive hero at 8 o'clock, WB8 delayed at Seneca for two hours owiug to an accident at that point. Southern passenger train No. 40, northbound, was standing on the Southern main line, and a Southern freight train, southbound, had backed onto the Blue Ridge track, the rear of this train being almost side by side with No. 4O's engine, the steam from which obscured from view the caboose of the freight train. There wes no .lag out, and Engineer J. R. Hughes, of the Blue Ridge train, had no warning that tho Southern freight was obstructing his track. Ho waB running i ito the station at about ten miles au hour speed, having fortu nately already slowed down before his'engine struck the rear of the freight. Vbe pilot of the Blue Ridge ongino was knocked off by tho force of the crash, and tho engine trucks were also injured, though not suffi ciently to prevent the run being con tinued to Walhalla at a very slow rate of speed after the tracks had been cleared up. The Southern freight caboose waa thrown over against No. 4 O's passenger coaches and was badly smashed, as was also the fiat car just ahead of the caboose. Blue Ridge passengers were given a genuine shaking up, and some sustained bruises, though no ono was seriously hurt. Tho Crime of Idleness. Idleness means trouble for any one.

Stanton: My Queen. lt \v8B midnight when she came to me My Queen! Dut so low the loveless heavens Seemed to lean, They caught the smile that bright ened, And a glory o'er them lightened And 'twas morning when she came lo me My Queen! It was death-time when she came to me My Queen! But her Ups with loving kisses, Seemed to lean, In the storm and In the strife, And she kissed me back to life, And 'twas love time When she came to me My Queen! May the Colonel and his bride live to see many returns .of St. Valentine's day, and may each be as happy and bright as is indicated the one just past has been. Washington's Plague Spots lie In the low, marshy bottoms of the Potomac, the breeding ground of ma laria germs. These germs cause chills, fever and ague, biliousness, jaundice, lassitude, weakness and general debility and bring suffering or death to thousands yearly. But Electric Bitters never fall to destroy them and cure malaria troubles. "They are the best all-round tonic and cure for malaria I ever used," writes R. M. James, of Louellen, S. C. They cure stomach, liver, kid ney and blood troubles and will pre vent typhoid. Try them, G Oe. Guar anteed by all druggists. Nicholson-Vissage. Married, In Walhalla, on February 14), by Rev.
