the following timely suggestion':
"An n saw, crowbar nnd jickscrow la

would hnvo been sufficient nt the Angola, the
I.ovclnnd and Mast Hope disasters, to have
saved every person not injured by the ac
cident. "The compnnies would bava been them
selves the gainers. They would have saved
cars liv the arrangement, as well ns the
damages paid for the death and disabling
of passengers.

tho Indignant Jane comes back on Marlin
as follows:
Mil. Eiiitou. I noticed a piece In your
paper of last week signed F. R. Martin,
stating that his wife Jane, (meaning me, I
suppose, ) had left his bed und board with
out any just cause or provocation, etc. I
reply (irst, that said Martin, alias Francis
Dupuy, never had any bed, and if it were
not lor the one I left him, he would now
bo sleeping on the floor. 2d, if a man's
getting drunk and raving with tho delirium
tremens every few days with its attendant
sou . tckemng Hell on earth, is no provoca
tion for leaving him, then I plead guilty.
31. I am nut green enough to u;k any one
to trust a me on his a count who could
not bim-elf get trusted for a row of pins
w here he is known. 4th, I claim not to be
the wife of said .Martin alias Dupuy, for I
have some time since, had good reisun fur
believing that he has two previous wives
living, , who are us happy in the riddance
of his whisky fumes us I am. For the
above reasons I subscribe myself what I
really am, Jan-e LSou.utura.
