Tho train was composed of vostibulcd Pullman oars, throe sleeping oars, a day ooaoh, conibina tion smokor and baggago oar, and a mail oar, and was drawn by ono of tho now Atlantio typo of onginoa. The smoking oar was complotoly telosoopod by tho stool mail car ahead, whioh went through it as if it were paper, tearing, crushing, uiaiming and carrying doath. The soono of tho wrook is on a sharp ourve. On ono sido, 10 foot bolow, Hows tho Shonando rivor, on tho othor is a stoop bluff.

He has a wifo and family in Book Hill. \ THE SHIP SUBSIDY STEAL Senator Mclaurin Advocates Mark Hanna's Pet Scheme u*v -1 i- i i *? ?? uvu,ixi? snip suDBiuy Din earno up in the 11 n > t?" il States ^onato Thursday Senator MoLaurin, of this Stato, an* nouuetd his intention of voting tor it and Senator Morgan, of Alabama, op P' s^d it in vigorous ianguago. Mr. Mchaurin spoko in support of tho bill, basing his his advocacy of tho measuro upon tho theory that tho pa-sage of it vould benefit the cotton growing inter ! ?>ls of tho southern Stutos. Ho cited t) e ?c ion of the South cm (Jot* on Spin iters association at Cliarlotto, N. (J., in urging legislation of tho character purposed in tho pending bill. Ho contended also that anything that would stiniulato Aiucrican shipping would bontit not only tho cotton intorosts but all other agricultural interests. Tho resolutions adopted at Charlotte, he said, typify tho sentiment of the cntiro Houth and propago a return of the old prostigo and prosperity of that seotion. Mr. MoLaurin referred to the effect of the Civil war upon tho south and said tho time had oomc to put asido tho animosities aroused by that struggle and tako up tho iutcrcsts that wero characteristic of the old south. Mr. Mallory said in reply to Mr. MoLaurin that his opposition to tho bill was based upon the opinion that it would not do what it profossod to do in aiding tho Amoricau shipping. MORGAN AT THE HAT. Mr. Morgan then spoke for fivo hours. Mr. Morgan urged that tho shipping bill ho oomnmtcd to tho oommitteo, to bo rceaBt in order that its constitutional and other impcrfcoticns might bo oorreotcd. He said it was now boiDg considered not on its merits but as a party measure. "A measure cannot become a party moasuro," suggested Mr. All'flon of Iowa, "until wo know what it is. As it ! stands before us now it is merely tho measure of tho oommitteo and is sub jeet to suoh amoudmcnt and ohango as the senate may dotermiuo." Mr. Morgau expressed tho opinion that tho American ship yards now, wihout any assistance, wore the host in the world. "Do you not think," asked Mr. Halo, "that if the naval ships built in our yards wcro put to the tost of aotual ooDfliot thoy would prove themsolvcs to bo the best ever oonstruotod ' ' "Thoy have proved that," roplkd Mr. Morgan. ItererriDg to tho o; mpetition likely to ariso botween the Unitod States and foreign nations, when this govornmont should voto a subsidy to Amorioan ships, Mr. Morgan declared it would result in a commercial conflict between the United States and great Britain in which tho financial battorios of tho two countries would be arrayed against each other. Ho was inclinod to think tho United States might bo worstod in such a oonfliot bcoauso of the immensely superior sea powor of Great Britain. Mr. Morgan pleaded for the adoption of tho Clay amendment to the subsidy bill authorizing negotiations for a right of way for tho Nioaragun canal. Muoh as ho opposod the shipping hill, ho indicated a purposo not to oppose it if tho Nicaragua amendment was addod and provision made that congress shoud havo power to repeal tho shipping act at any timo. Marriage of a Queen. Wilholmina, tho first ruling qucon of Holland, Thursday married Duko Henry of Mecklenburg Sohworin, who beoomes prince of tho N'othorlands by proclamation in tho (Jourt Gazott Thursday cvoning. The marriago was a series of brilliant colored piotures. Hut tho scvcro simplicity of tho Dutch form of marriago, which was followed to tho lettor in tho oivil contract before the minister of justico, Dr. P. VV. A. Cort van Der Linden, and in tho old fashioned roligious sorvioo in Grooto Kcrk, gavcit a democratic spirit. Electrocuted. Lorenzo Priori, who murdorod Yinoca ziGaruzo, in Now York City, December 11, 1898, and a few wocko ago soourod a stay of cxeoution by tho representation that thoorimo was committed by his wifo's brother, Jamos Saoarrdo, was put to death iu tho clcotrio ohair in tho state prison at Sing Sing Wednesday. It roquirod two shooks to kill him. Ho loft with tho priosts who attended him a statement declaring his innooenc 3. Republican Anti-Trust Plank. This tendency of trusts to inoreaso in numhorand to raise prices is calculated to show tho agriculturists an i other classes of oonsumors how hollow was tho auti trust plank in tho Philadelphia platform, and ought to oouvineo those among thorn who voted the Republican tiokot that they demrvo to he disciplined by an automat c kicking machine. Paying tho Piper. Karl Roberts says he will nood every soldier in Sculh Africa for the noxt twclvo months and will ask the houso of oommon for $350,000,000 during tho onsuing financial year, in addition to what has already bcon votod for the war. And yet Kogland has 1,003,005 paupors to support by publio taxation. Kvidontly tho Kritinh statesman has something to think over just now. Don't Like Fat Friars. The news from tho Fhilipiots is that tho nativo Catholios in tho disIriotof itinondo in Manila aro ditaMs fiod and threaten to separato from tho chureh. It isexplainod that thoy have no gricvanoo against tho church itself, but to tho friars?the fat friars, it is presumed, though not of tho Mark HanI na stripe. - < + CONWAY.

For as some ono has said, at tho grave all men aro equal. How llimsy a thing scrtns kingship, all earthly powor and display when brought faoo to face with tho Angel of Death. It is as some great maj.'Htio ship whofio great proportionfi and woo dcrful oonntruotion oxeito admiration, and oven amazement, yet which, in tho fury of tho gale ifi picked up, loused about ltko a ship in a mill raoo, its masts stripped off as if they were straws and the wholo finally broken in two and thrown to the bottom of tho oooan, an a child might chunk a pobblo into a tub of water. All things seem great or auiall by ocntraHt, out tho great ships that go down to the floa aro not more at tho mercy of tho storm nor moro incignificant in its fury than tho grcatoHtof king and <picoriH nnd princoH and lords at ono look or nod or call from th?

For of | all oplumoral things, thin thing of kingly power and display and glory and even < xistouoo is tho most ephemeral. Vot they all play it out to tho end? even beyond tho ood.
