A Dreadful Disaster. An accident occurred Monday morning on the Dedham Branch of the Boston and Providence railroad, between Forest Hill and Roslindale, at what is known as Bussey Park Bridge. The 7 o'clock train from Dedham, consisting of seven cars and bag gage car, under charge of Conductor Til -1en, broke through the bridge. The en $ine and three cars went over safely. but five others fell through the bridge to the road beneath. a distance of :)0 feet. The last ear, which was the smoker, turned -completely over and struck on top of the others, all being crushed almost out of shape. The cause of the accident is said to have been the breaking of the bridge. it is stated that the bridge is a comparatively new one, and that the accident was caused by a truck of one of the cars giving away. causing the car to strike against the abut ment of the bridge.. . The smoking car after it fell caught fire. bnt the fire department was promptly ou hand and prevented any spread of the .llames. The bodies of the dead have all been removed, and of the wounded sone are-at hospitals and some have been taken home. The latest estimate of the casualties is 32 killed and about 5-0 wounded. That the horrors of tire were not added to the terrible isaster was due to the proptness with which relief was sent. A chemidal engine from Roslindale was at - the -scene within Lo minutes after the wreck occurred. brouzit by a letter-car rier, who gave au alain of fire upon ob serving flames issuing from the debris. The flames were soon extinguished and the fire men then did excellent work in rescuing the injured. The stoves in all the cars em securely fastened to the floors by iron bolts and the doors of the stoves were locked. In only one car did the stove up *-t, although in one instance a stove was - %mashed clear through the roof of the car inwhieh it had been. Woman's Wondrus Iluck. A case of extraordinary pluck on the - rof a woman occurred at Jefferson E edical Colege, Philadelphia, recently. Thelady'applied to have a tumor removed _ -.from het arm. The physicians decided to Iaveithe operation performed in the pres .&zeece of the students, and when the hour for the clinic arrived arrived the lady was i.t G:iietedrinto theamphitheatre. The doctors -ld-her that they would have to adminis er ether, as the operation would prove painitl. She refused to allow this to e~ cron~e, and then the physicians tried to Qi~uce her to take a glassof brandy, which she likewise refused. They next offered eAwr, a glass of wine, but the lady simply waved it away, saying that she would be tbleio undergo the operation. The doctors consulted for a moment and ='ecided to take the woman at her word and ~ o ahead. They bared her arm to the difoulder, laid her on her side and then buried the knife in the flesh, cut a big gash over si zJnches in length, pulled the bleed ing pieces apart, removed the tumor, -;aed.the bone and then sewed the parts geTe... During all this time the patient never moved. Not a cry escaped her, and *shel~gritted her teeth her face became as w*te as-a sheet. The physicians and stu .dents looked on with amazement at the plucky woman and mai-veled how she could endure the terrible pain without a whimpez. After the operation was over, Brt turning to the 600 students, said: There is not a man among you who could have stood this operation as heroic asthislady has." d and Mrterious Murder. SL; gdarig and mysterious murder was a tdinCharleston Thmsay. William Henry 'Baxter, a colored boy sixteen years -old, employed at Werner's iron works, on iorbeek alley, wa called to the door by soze bys. When Baxter reached the do, one of. the boys stabbed him in the let5east. Frank Whitman, a black skh, was at work in the rear of the build ing, and says he saw two or three boys come to the door and heard them call Bax - e '--'iz alew moment he saw Baxter return andl cling for a i':tke while to his bench, thesn fall to the floor. Baxter vomited, afgok, as if, in convulsions andl died in a 2few minutes. No one was found who saw the-blow struck. The wound was nade aidek blade, probably a dagger. It * tlie breast just above the left nipple and evidently pierced the heart. Mr. T. W. Sires, manager of the iron works, found Baxter dying. The boy was then taken home. .bei'her the father nor mother ofI th?eboy knew of any quarrel that might hgjg~ed to the.-murder. The police are now working on the matter. Whitman, the blacksmith, thinks he could identify .one. of .the'muderers. The scene of the murderwas between Meeting and King streets-a public, open spot-the crime was commtwd in noonday. -Leprosy in New Orleana. While delving for informatien on the - ubjedt of the city's health, I ascertained what I believe is not generally known in hew Orleans-that leprosy exists here to a corisid~erable etstent. It has been known in. a vague sort of way that there were some cases of the dreaded disease in the * lower parishes, -but not that it prevailed to any extent in New Orleans. There are Vnow under treatment in the Charity Hos pital no less than 18 cases. I am informed that the victims of the disease do not know with what they are atliicted, and are going about their usual vocations. One of these, -.woman, is a cook. I am told the nature of their disease is concealed so as to spare them from isola tion. Perhaps the distinguished medical 2 entliae at the hospital know best what ia propetr in the premises, but the unpreju dicecdobserver would say, far better these unfortunates. be shnnned and forced into aphiltionL than that they spread the malady 'y contact and by bearing children, which thg -are now in danger of doing inno &nd f.-Cr.Cicago Times.

A Voung man vbho lcf-t his clareir's front qate in a hurried manner and lit away out in'the street asserts that her father was afflicted with paliitation of the feet. "Ma'ma, what is hush?" "Why, dcar. what makes you ask such a ijuestion< "'Cause when I asked sister what made herdress stick out behind, she said 'Hush " " The Yankee seamen used to be the best in the world. The crews shipped now-a days are almost whol!y made up of men of foreign nationality, chielly Germas rad Swedes. A Wyoming man recently blew out his brains because he had the rheumatism. If he thought that his rheumatism was caused by too much brains lie must have been sad ly mistaken. "A farmer's wife" wants to know if we can recommend anything to destroy the "common grub." We guess the next tramp that comes along could oblige you, if the family can't stand your cooking. It will harrow up the feelings of senti mental people to learn that the balladi "Comin Thro' the Rye" does n.t refer to a field of grain, but to a little stream in S-ot land. There are others who use it to refer to a mixture of grain and water. An inquirer asked what he shouId dio with a horse that was troubled with per-ti ical dizziness, and tLe editor : nwerod in these words: "Our advice -would oe o take the horse sonic day when he is a. dizzy and sell him to a stranger." "What comes after T-' asked a :sewr of a small boy who was learning Ih : bet. "You do, sir, to see si Joie. There was an audible titter among the more advanced pupils, which of course wa, quickly suppressed. "There is a single sentence in the E1:g lish foreign enlistment act which cont;ainrs six hundred words." A longer senrte:;c was that of a New York judge the other day. In contains twenty years. A southern Dakota man recently pri im ise-l his dying wife that lie would meet hir in heaven. When the fact became known that the man was an editor, the joke was regarded as too good to keel). The colored folks at Washington hiave re solved that the Freedman's Bank swindUc was "the most sinful swindle that ever stained earth cr shocked high heaven." This lets the trade dollar out a little. "Well, I swow:" declared Farncr Jonres: 'these literary chaps have the dutrndest ideas. Talkin' about the sbhadder of thre grave! Now who ever heard of a hole in the ground muakin' a shiadder' Beecher's Belief. In a recent letter to D~r. Muirrisoni of Baltimore. 3Ir. Beecher said: "The for mulated doctrines, as I hold them, aire: A personal God, creator and ruler over all things: the human family universally sir ful; the need and possibility and facts of conversion; the divine agency in such a work: Jesus Christ the manifestatio:T of God in human conditions; His oflice in re demption supreme. I do not believe in the Calvinistic form of stating the atcnement. I do not believe in the fall of the hiuman race in Adam, and of course, I do not hold that Christ's work was to satisfy the law broken by Adam for all his posterty. The race was not lost, but has been aseendingr steadily from creation. I anm in hearty ac cord with revivals and revival preaching, with the educating forces of the church, and in sympathy with all ministers who in their several ways seek to build up men into the image of Jesus Christ, by whose faithfulness, generosity, and hove I hope to be saved and brought home to heaven." A Humnan Body in a Barrel. The Adams Express Company received t Dalton, Indiana, on the 10th a barrel from New- York, via the New York n: New England railroad, for dlelivery to the American Express Company and to be f. r warded to parties in New Brunswick. The American Express Company refused to re-I eive the barrel on account of certain sits iious marks on it resembling hlood. The arrel was then taken back to tire train fice of the Adamus Exprest. On the bar rel being opened the head of am womn was hiscovered packed in straw, aind enougihI vas seen to convince the oilicials that tother ortions of a human body werec contaiined n the barrel. The head.was carefully re laced and the barrel, with its contt-nts, aken to Jinkhamn's undertak'int establi 1h nent, on Ihoward street.
