The private vaults in the city ought all to be thoroughly cleaned immediately by leaving an order with Raymond, at Doctor Buckley's office.

Attend to this important matter before the hot weather is upon us, Horace Greeley's head was level when he wrote if you want, to keep a town from thriving don't build any more houses than you can convenientlypccupy yourself. If you should accidently have an empty building and anyone wants to rent, ask three times the value of it. Demand a shylock price for every foot of ground that Godfhas given you stewardship over.

vanna Saturday morning at 10:15 o'clock bound for Chicago. About an hour afterwards No 14 extra followed, with John Foley, of Chicago, as conductor, and John Nelson, formerly of Freeport, as engineer. When near Leaf River, the bead train broke in two, and the one that followed came along at full speed, and before it could be averted, there was crash, the engine going right through the caboose, and two or three other cars. There were several loads of grain, and a lot of empty box cars, and the whole business made a bad looking wreck. THE DKAD AND WOUNDED.

It was some time before they found the conductor, Albert Bromley, who was buried in the wreck, and presented anything but a pleasant sight to gaze upon. John Nelson, a former resident of Freeport and brother-in-law of L'ou McGovern, was the engineer of the locomotive on the extra, and he sustained serious injuries about the head and body. A brakeman and fireman were also Injured. All were taken to Leaf River, where their wounds were attended to. CLEARING THE WRECK.

It was not long before there were wrecking cars with gangs of men from Freeport, Savanna and elsewhere, and the work of clearing the track was proceeded with aa quickly as possible. The men worked all Saturday night and Sunday, and many hundreds of people paid the place a visit. HOW )T OCCURRED. A gentleman who was at the wreck, said to-day: "When the trains had just passed the small station of Tuck er's Siding, and turning a curve the hind train overtook the first and ran into it at full spead, jamming the engine of the second into pieces, demolishing the cars and ditching the greater portion of the first train. Conductor Albert Brogley, -of Savanna, was in sttmtly killed, his body being horribly mangled.

Jack Nelson, engineer, was badly cut in the head, and otherwise injured. His fireman, and Chas Brewell, brakeman, were seriously injured though probably not fatally. The parties injured were taken to Leaf River, where District Surgeon Planning dressed their wounds. A traveling man, named Stevens, who was sitting in the cupola of the caboose, miraculously escaped by jumping irom the top of the car at the niche of time. It is also thought, a tramp, who was stealing a ride, and who was seen on the train after leaving Lanark Junction, was buried among the debris, but his body has not, as yet, been found.

It was a horrible wreck, and took several hours to clear it away so trains could pass. Wheels were strewn everywhere, while fragments of cars were piled upon each other in profusion. Wrecking trains from Savanna and from Chicago were on hand in a very short time, and rapid progress was made to ward clearing the track. The loss of the train of about twenty cars and the engine are almost complete, as most of them are past repairing." NOTES. Conductor John Foley, who was on the engine at the time of the accide it, was slightly Injured.

Superintendent Clinton and a gang of men are at work at the wreck to-day. Brogley was a member of the Robinson Division Order of Railway Conductors, and had an insurance of in it. Both conductors attended the ball at Savanna Friday night. John Nelson went home to Chicago, and to-day was reported better. IMPORTANT ARREST ON'MONDAY, On the 16th of last June, the dence of Reuben Penticoff, in Loran township, was burglarized, and over 0000 in money taken.

Ever since Chief of Police Sanderson has been working the case, and this morning he placed under arrest a man named John McClenathan, who is charged with the crime. The accused was taken before Justice Wagner, and held in bonds of to appear next Monday. Bail was furnished. McClenathan is well known in this city, and has heretofore borne a good reputation. The chief is certain that he is the right man, and if it should prove to be a fact, it will be quite a feather in the chief's cap.

The Temperance Temperance nail was crowded Sab bath afternoon, wbere was conducted a gospel temperance meeting under the auspices of the Murphy Temperance Union. At 3:30 o'clock the exercises commenced with singing by the choir, Miss Diffenbaugh playing the instrument. Rev Schlung read the Scripture lesson, Dr Jenkins offerd a prayer, and a duett, "I'll Knock at the Door," was prettily rendered by Minnie Bergman and Etta Heard. George Crissman, by request, recited "I'll Never Chew Tobacco," followed by a solo and jshoras, "My Mother's Grave," by Ma- Inie McMurray, Mamie Culviu, Annie Work and Mabel Dana. Prof Chas Snyder waathen introduced, and for half an hour entertained his auditors with an eloquent address on the subject of temperance.

To the speaker it was plain that the time was not far distant when the people would raise up in their might against the monster intemperance. At the conclusion of the gentleman's talk, three little girls sang a piece, after which Dr Jenkins made a few general remarks, adding that on next Sabbath afternoon he would speak onVAlchohol and the Public Health." The choir sang "Scatter Seeds of Kindness," after which the benediction was pronounced and the audience the front of the residence of Hettin JR, Dirksen has taken the contract to erect a new residence for Frank Hathews.

Pleasant it in as we journey along to have wayside milestones erected at various points to tell us of the distance travelled and of the space yet intervened before reaching our journey's end. Such milestones in the journey of life are the various instituted to mark the eras in married life, one of the most important being the silver era. It is pleasant to be one of the celebrants at a silvsr wedding, especially when the guests all so thoroughly eater into the zest of the occasion; when the presents are so many and so rare; when everything is prepared for the wedding guest, with such exquisite taste as it was at the silver wedding of Mr and Mrs John Snyder at their residence, near Buena Vista, on Friday, April 17th, where, notwithstanding the rain and bad roads a merry company to the number of about fifty, assembled to celebrate the anniversary.

The company passed the early part of the day in social conversation, when in an appropriate manner a beautiful array of presents were presented to the host and hostess. Mr Snyder responded in a very brief, but touching a anner. The entertainment was surpassing complete and enjoyable asd every participator was hearty in his thanks to the host and hostess, Mr and Mrs Snyder, for whom all undoubtedly feel the wish that they may live to see under such happy circumstances their golden wedding day. In the evening Mr John Snyder, son of Mr and Mrs Snyder, celebrated the twenty-third anniversary of his birthday. The evening was passed in social conversation, and those who fancied to trip the light fantastic were favored with suitable music.

Mr Jonathan Price and Henry Bender, furnished the music for the occasion. Mr Henry Moeller sang a beautiful song of his own composition, entitled "The Silver Wedding Day," and at twelve o'clock refreshments were served, after which dancing was continued until the wee sma' hours of the morning, when all departed to their respective homes satisfied that they never had a better time, and wishing Mr John many returns of the day.

2 The Weather. EDITOR OUBNAL As there has been some talk of the cold for the past three winters, I will give you the correct figures and then all can judge for themselves. In the winter of 1882 and 18S3 there were 89 mornings that the thermometer was below zero, and five of these mornings it was over 20 below, and three mornings in succession more than 20 below. In the winter of 1883 and 1884, there was 28 mornings that the thermometer was below zero, and only three mornings that it was more than 20 below, and in the winter of 1885 there were forty mornings below zero, and ten of them were more i in 20 below. In the month of February 1885, there were twelve mornings in succession below zero, and fourteen mornings in the month were below zero, so I think that was the cool month if it was the short one.
