M. Goodwin. From Weilncsday'a Dally. The funeral services over the remains of the late Mrs. L.

Griswold were held yescerday afternoon at tbe fa ED ily residence on West Main street, and were conducted by Kev.M. M. Goodwin, rector oE St. John's Episcopal church. Tbe residence was completely tilled with friends ot the family and of the deceased who assembled to sorrowfully pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of a woman whose endearing qualities hud won her so many friends.

TheretnainB rested in a beautiful black casket and upon and around the bier were profusion of exquisite fioral offerings. The choir wae composed of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Miss Clara Eyman and Sherman McClelland, The beautiful burial service of the Episcopal church was used. After the opening sentence of the eervice the choir chanted "Abide With Me." This was followed by a scriptural reading, Oor- rinthians xv; 20.

Cardinal Newman's great hymn, "Lend Kindly Light," was sung by the choir. The address of Hector GooOwin was on "The Continuity of the Christian Life." His remarks were earnest and eloquent, and each thought was expressed in beautiful language, A resume of his tribute is appended: The address opened with ivn illustration of a lioral clock mnde by some famous botanist. The hours were shown by Uie opening and closing (lowers. One by one the flowers spreflil forth their petals that shone brightlyi the light and one by one they closed their cups train until darkness felt nnd the last petal had closed in upon itself. So our joys were sufticioat were they to Inat, but they onunot.

Attar summer's day comee the summer's night and after a brief space of them the winter nnd all are dead and the lone trees stand. Does death thus wreck our hopes, our joys, our loves, our friendships, our Cbristinn ec-mmunititsa? No, The words "I am tbe Resurrection and the Life" have created the nngel of hope that guards the sleep of the Christian and muile them to the living radiant with peace and immortality. How grandly Christ, reposed on this idea ot life, life endless in its own being; a reality which death find time cannot bonish. True he will bow his head and cense to breathe in obedience to the laws of humanity whiuh he shared, already he eaters Paradise, not alone, but leading a child ot humanity by the hand. Then to sbow us that he simply chnnged worlds He comas back again and shows Himself alive.

All then to prove how phantasmal death is Ho departe in nil the fullness of life, simply drawing about Him the drapery ot cloud. Mr. Goodwin then pictured a soul fully imbued with the blessed tacts of the Resurrection, Continuing he said: Could we loi'e and and think of our living ns we love nod think ot our dead the highest dreams ot human happiness would be realiiied. The enrnestness of purpose, strong power of affection, the nobility of aim, the harmony and sweetness ot nature which marked the character ot our loved ones gone ore realised in the highest and dearest sense when "we no more teel the touch of a vanished hand or hear the sound of voice that ia still." Mts. Mary Francis Griawold needs not the breath of human eulogy to waft her to her tinrtl resting place.

Already she is in the presence of the Father nnd his angels. Ber devotion to dear ones, her affection, her earnest friendships, her loyalty of character, her Christian sincerity nnd worth shall ever abide in the hearts of the Oeeply bereaved nnd in those iimong viliom she lixed and walked during her earthly life. All the record ot that life will not be known until we shnil have access to the archives of lieuven, where are written by nngel hands in letters ol gold the history ot God's believing children, God has a higher use for such souls. In nur Father's bouse are many mansions nnd Christ has gone to prepare ft place tor nil ranks ot mortals for whom he died. It is sown 'in corruption, it is raised in incorvuptiun.

It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. The i progress ot the soul in grace is not nrrested but stimulated by the truth. The great unity oE life Inste on. Death isbutnn incident in immortality. Mr, Goodwin closed by quotingeorae atannas Crom May Eeilley's liemtliful poem, "Sometime" At the ulose ot the ndilress the choir sang "Nearer My God to 1 ft favorite hymn of the late Mrs.

Griswold. Rev. Goodwin offered prayer and pronounced benediction, nnd ns the tody was borne to the funeral car, the choir solemnly chanted "Thy Will be Done. 11 At the grave the committal service of tbe Episcopal church wns used, and ns all thai, was mortal ot the beloved woman was lowered to the lust resting place, the choir chanted ii hymn, The grave woe bricked up and rilled with flowers and evergreens, robbing it in a measure ot ita sombre character.

TWO ENGINES COLLIDE At Crmutmt of the IHlnoln Central tbe Wfttosih BallroitiJh From Wednesday's Daily, At tbe crossing of the Illinois Central and the Wabosb. railroads yesterday forenoon, there was a collision which created quite an excitement for the time being, and created havoc with two engines. Engineer Joe Paulus ot the Wabash, had a close call for his life, but no one else was tmrt in the affair. About 10:30 o'clock, Engineer Paulns, on engine 467, was pushing a freight car across the Illinois Central tracks, going east, According to all the reportslieard, he "had the is the- flagman in tbe target nouse had signals so arranged that Paulus understood that the road was clear and that he had the light to the- crossing, When almost over the Illinois Central tracks, and when too late to reverse his engine and go back, Paulus saw that the south bound Illinois Central passen- get train wua approaching nt such a rate ot speed that a collision waa inevitable. In an effort to avert the trouVtle, Paul us opened wide the throttle and tried to get out of the way ot the passenger train.

Tbe Illinois Central train was pulled by Win. Egger on engine 1102. The latter snw that a collision was impending and he top made an effort tonvert it by etoppioghis tram. Egger applied the air bmkas to his train and reversed his engine. In spite of the efforts ot the engineers, their locomotives came together.

The Central engine struck the Wabnsh locomotive on the guides in front of the right cylinder, and lifted the machine from the rails and pushed it towards the target house. When the Wabash enRiue came down upon the denot ptntCorm, tlie boards jjjive way antl the ens me settled down, leaning at an angle of almost 40 degrees. The smoke stuck ot engine 467 struck tbe tnrcet house and that place was shfiken like a reed in a storm, but did cot go down. The target man, tearing dire possibilities, tied down the steps to safety. Fireman John Bahr, ot tbe abash engine, jumped in time to escape all injury.

Engineer Paulus wns not so When the engine tipped ho wns caught in the gangway, between the cab and the tender. The tender remained on the rails, while the engine hud been swung nround in such a way ns to catch Pimlus just as he tried to leave his place in the cab. By those persons on the platform, tbe fact was nt onue recognised ttiat poor Paulus was in on uncomfortable and perhaps quite dnogerous position. Everyone who saw the affair was ready and willing to aid in getting the engineer to a place of safety. With jnokscrews to raise the engine nnd axes and saws to cnt away the cnb willing hands were eoon at work, but it was perhaps bnlf an hour before Pnulus could be tnken tlown.

He wns nt once carried to a bedroom in the Central hotel, where Dr. M. Catto was summoned to care for him. Hisi injuries were found to be severe bruises about the thighs. Paulus was bruised some about the abdomen, but there was no evidence that he had suffered any serious internnl injuries.

His right leg between his hip and knee was greatly bruised, but no bones were broken. The injured engineer is married man and hie home is in Springfield, He preferred to remain tor the present nt the Central hotel and lost evening Mrs. Paulus came to Decntnr to nurse her husband, who will, trom present indications, recover without any permanent disability. The Illinois Central engine was thrown from the rails by the ehock of tbe collision nnd the pilot nnd front ond wasso badly damaged that another engine was sent down from Ciinton to take the place of the 1102. The Wabnsh wreck crew at once went to work and in a short time hod the track in passable shape, so that none of the trains was delayed to any material extent.

How such an accident could bccur in broad daylight is a mystery. The Wa- bnsh engineer had the right ot way and there was no fog to obscure tbe target to such an extent as to excuse the accident on that score. The Central engine did oot stop at the tank for water, but tho train had been stopped SOOteet north of the crossing as the law requires. To P. D.

E. official Engineer Egger said he had whistled for the target and had the right otway. Ho came on and did not notice until boo late to stop that tbe signal bfid been so changed that the Wnbash had the crossing rights.

It is cot a question of profit to liny one doing business on the street. It is a question ot whether the property owners interested shall have what business there is on North Mnin and Merchant streets stamped out. ''On Water said he, "the property would be worth a great deal more if there was no park there. If a solid row of business buildings was along the Water street side of the park it would vastly improve property values on tbe east side ot the itteet.

An awful accident occured yesterday forenoon at the- new Shlaudeman building at the corner of North Water and Green streets. Win, New, a painter, a distance of thirtx-lh'a and received such injuries that his escape from inatant death seemed almost miracle, Myer the contracting painters, have bad men at work on the building mentioned several times this winter, but the wet weather hue of late interfered with the outside painting.

Yesterday morning the weather being (air, the work was resumed. Win. New and Will Blackburn started to paint the cornice and (or that purpose raised the swinging scaffold, such us painters always use in that work, Tbe men mentioned, with the assistance ot Charles Eagle, had iftieed the scaffold to the cornice, almost thirty-fivs feet above the ground, and scarcely hjid they done so, when, the end upon which New was seated gave way, and lie fell to the cround, whirling over and over in his descent. There was no sidewalk where New fell, but those witnesses ot the accident who rushed to i expected to find only a lifeless body. New struck on his left shoulder and breast.

He was alive butwas covered with blood about the face and bend whoa picked up. He carried into Euebsamen's saloon in the Shlaudeman building nnd Drs. C. Jones and J. M.

Lee were summoned to attend him. New'g entire left side was practically crushed and eifiht ribs on tlint side were broken, some of them in or more places. His nose was broken and there was an ugly scalp wound on his head but the skuJUvas not crushed. The physicians at once did what was possible to relievo the suffering ot the man by dressing his wounds. New was a member ot the Painters 1 and Decorators' Union wd members ol that order took charge of off airs and had him removed to St.

Mary's hospital, where after a time bo seemed to partially rally from the shock and regained consciousness. The extent of his internal injuries could not be told, but the physicians at once said that there was no hope that the man could recover. While New re- sained consciousness and realized that happened about him, hie tongue vvns paralyzed and he was unable to talk. New ie a man about 3o years old. He has baea married but he and his wiEe lived apart nnd none of bis acquaintances linew the whereabouts of his wife, He had worked in Decatur during tbe summer Benson for several years and only recently returned to this city from Galena, where hie mother lives.

She was telegraphed to yesterday to come at once to Decatur and a reply was received saying eho would be here this morning, The accident was due to the scaffold weights on the being moved. A painters' scaffold ie a ladder supported at each end by a block ncd tackle. Tbe latter is in turn attached to heavy pieces of timber which project over the edge ot the roof. These timlere nre heldrlrmand made secure by biesacks of sand being placed upon them. The scaffolding used yesterday was swung several weeks ago and had remained idle.

Yesterday the men used it without first going on the root to see that all was secure, By some means the sacks at the south end ot the scaffold had been displaced but did not give wi.y until the painters had been drawn almost to toe top of the building. Blackburn, who was on the north end of the scaffold, caught the ropes and hold to them when the stage swung from beneath him. Ho 8tved himself by climbing up the ropes and onto the roof. BLACKDUP.N'S STOKV. Billy Blackburn, xvho was on the swing withNew, had a marvelous escape.

Just before the end upon which New was sitting fell, Blackburn glanced over and saw the "look or projecting beam, swaying to and fro. He gave a warning cry to hie companion, end at the same timegrabbed hold of the ropes on his side. New did not have an opportunity to heed Blackburn's ery, tor at the instant it was uttered the ropes slipped from the "look cut" and he fell headlong to the earth. Blackburn was left hanging to the ropes, forty or fifty feet above the ground. His position was a perilous one, but a strong, muscular fellow he proceeded to help himself without any unnecessary of time.

He began to climb the rope hand over hand to the "look out" above him. His progress was slow, but sure and was watched with breathless interest by the spectators below. They gave a sigh of relief when they saw Blackburn reach the top of the building and swing over.the ledge in safety. Yesterday afternoon Blackburn was about town and pnve the reporter bis version of the accident. In substance it was its follows: -The swing was put up a month or more ago.

It hung from tivo "look out" beams, which are fourteen feet in length. On the end ot these beams, sacks ot sand weighing IOC pounds were placed to hold the beams in position.

S1.0S. Mad DDK Scurt The little town of Lovington is in the throes of a mad dog score. A canine belonging to Scott Murphy went mod a few days ago and bit a horse belonging to Win. Lewis. The horse soon showed signs of hydrophobia and was killed.

A number of worthless CUM have nnee been slaughtered and DOW every dog in the village must be muzzled or suffer the penalty ot death. at Irwiift these sacks'muBt have bsen moved, but we did not make an examination before getting on the swing ae we probably should have done. We took ourpnints from the third story nnd stopped out on the swing. Then we began to pull up to the cornice, Before we had gone far my ropes caught and I called to Charlie Eagle, who was standing on the ground, to give me a lift. He did so and then I stopped until he could pull on New's side.

Whilo he was thus engaged I glanced across the swing and saw the "lookout" above New swinging back and forth. I called to htm and grabbed the ropes on my side, but before he could help himself tbe "look out" on his side toppled over the edge of ihe building and he fell to the ground, I managed to climb up over the edge ot the building and save myself. It seemed to me like I hung there five minutes." The JUI-T ia the Hunter CMC Will be Completeit Thl M4rnin 5 Prom Prlday'g Circuit court adjourned early yesterday afternoon. At half past four o'clock tbe machinery came to a dead stop because there were no more talesmen to examine in the Hunter case. At that time eleven men had been accepted by both sides.

The epecinl venire for 100 men, issued Wednesday afternoon, has, been almost exhausted. There are about thirty men who cnn yet be called on and of that number only one is necessary to complete the jury. Soon after tttree o'clock yesterday afternoon a recess was taken to await the arrival of the Central twin from the south. It was thought that train would bring in a party of tnlesmen, but oaly one came. When he reported to the circuit clerk be was promptly put on the stand and Attorney Jobus tor the defense began to examine him.

The prospective juror was quickly excused for tbe reason that he had well-grounded opinion on the case. Tbore being no otber material to work on the judge ordered an adjournment until o'clock this mornmc. The eleven jurors are E. B. Smith, W.

B. Elliot, F. Bentou, Levi Cross, D. L. VIRUS, W.

E. White, F. Stevenson, C. Pluck, Petty John, Marshall Wallace and B. L.

Hmveustme. The judge allowed each side six peremptory challenges and tbe defense have exhausted their allotment, while tbe prosecution have used but four The jurymen are not allowed to separate, Ae eoon as court adjourned they were marched off to jury room where they remained nil night. D. L. Vigus, one at the cutters in the Race overall factory, is a member of the jury.

George Pecdletoo, the other cutter, was called home to Chicago by illness in his fam ily, md an effqrt was made to have Mr Vigus return to tbe factory and work part ot tha night, under the watchful eyeofa bailiff. The request could not be granted. The republicans are in the majority 011 the jury. Seven members are of that political faith, while only four are democrats. There have some mutteriugs of discontent among the attorneys for the defense on this account.

A complaint was made yeater- dny that it appeared as if no other than republicans hud been summoned. There is apparently no ground tor this. The talesmen are called from the lists in the regular order tbat they are drawn, and if there are more republicans in the venire than democrats tbere is no help tor it. The "Wheat Crop, The secretary oE the Illinois state board of agriculture hna received re- poite on the condition of the winter wheat crop Erom nil sections ot the state except the extreme north, where very little winter wheat is raised. The area seeded last till, acres, was 4 per cent larger than tbe 1891 area, and had the season been more favorable an even larger area would have been planted.

But the ground was so dry that much that was plowed was allowed to lie follow. While hwit, particularly ia Southern Illinois, did not get ee good start aa usual, tbere w.is no especially injurious weather until nbout tbe middle ot March, when the cold followed by cold winds during the day, aroused the apprehensions ot wbeftt growers as to the effect on the growing crop. In the northern and central tion of the state the wheat is in a fair average considering the late last fall. Continuous cold did less injury than tbe alternate freezing sud thawing. The snow ol the 20th inst.

very beneficial to the wheat, protecting it from the wind and supplying the surface moisture, which WHS beginning (o be needed. South of tbe center of the state more injury is anticipated than further north, as the plant did not get so good a start, and wae not so well prepared to withstand tbe trying weather, but it is too early yet to estimate the amount ot injury done, and some are hopeful that there is no material damage. Below the Air Line railroad, the prospect tor wheat is very poor. Most of the wheat was sown late on account ot the dry weather, and went into winter quarters in very poor condition. The most sanguine estimates do not place tbe crop in Southern Illinois at more than 50 per cent ot that of 1891, r.OfiAT.
