There lately entered the Grand Central depot at New York a locomotive with a tragic his tory.

The accideut was the sensation of the year. The engine was fished out and haa been running on the road ever since. A singular circumstance connected with this accident is that it indirectly proved the fortune of the men whose iucorrect sifinals causid it.

Susan Todd, who is over sixty years old, agaiust her thirty six year oid husbind, Dr George S Todd, for desertiou, was called ia Court here yesterday. lu some respects it rivals the Baby Bunting suit. A few years ago George S. Todd came east from Colorado to study dentistry. He became a boarder at the house of Mrs. Susan Finney, and in time Mr 3. Finney, who had sons as old as Todd and older, and a sweet daughter of seventeen, became strangely infatuated with the young student. She formed a settled reso lution to bacomc wedded to him re gardless of the extreme disparity iu their ages. From affidavits in the case there is every appearance that the marriage wes forced. However the matrimo nial rite was celebrated between the two and ever thereafter the horrified young husband has been a refugee beyond the borders*- of her abode. Mrs Todd has used every induce ment to get him to come back to her. She wrote any number of cute and sweet little letters signed "Your lov ing wife, Sue." "Your affectionate Sue," and tilled witn the warmth of a maidens love. Iu one of these pleasaut notes she called the absent one "My dear, dear George," and wound up by calling him her "Own little darliug" and drawing the out line of a ring filled with little dots of the pen over which she wrote tho ex planatory word "Kisses " Divorce proceeding are pending in Colorado, and Judge Biddle granted a postponement in the desertion case.

MILLER BUG'S. The Hattield-McCoy Vendetta. The atrocities of the Hatfields and McCoys oc. the West Virginia aud Kentucky birder are almost beyond belief. The barbarities extended over a period of years, beginning with a trivial law suit, and have been ended temporarily, at least, by the arr»st of part of the liatfield gang. Ttie crowning piece of deviltry was that of the night of Jan. 1, 13SS, when 13 of the ll* ttie Id gang, headed bv Jas Vauce, surrounded the M«'- Coy homestead, near the mouth of I'oad Creek, aa influent of the Tug from the Kentucky side, burned the bouse l'rom with all its couteuts, kill ed his son and daughter, beat their mother with the butt of a gun till they thought ah* was dead aud left the little children ia the house to die in the cold on the bleak mountainside among the bushes, to which thuy had escaped with nothing ou but their night clothes. It was about ten o'clock, when the McCoys, consisting of old "Kan'l," his son Calvin, his daughter Alfara, and another daughter were preparing for bed Suddeulv they heard the trampling of many men at the door way, and in a moment three or four men yelled- "Hello, in there; open this door, or we'll break it in and burn the house!" Calviu McCoy, who had a Win chester and plenty of ammunition, re assured his mother and sisters and the children, ail of them the orphans of bis murdered brothers, and telling his father to load an old-fashioued double-barreled shotgun, prepared for a siege. He glanced out of a crack in the log* of the hou j e and found the attacking party all huddled so closely under the window of the bouse as to defy his efforts to shoot at any of them Once or twice he did shoot, but no one was apparently hurt by the shots. Loarniug that they must burn the house iu order to dislodge their victims, the Hatfielda fiaally set fire to the building. When it began to blaze, one of the daughters, Alfara, 20 yeard old aud far gone in consumption, ran into an annex and seizing a churn, dashed its yjntents on the flamed, extinguishing them. B'lffled iu this instance, the infuriated mtn surrounded the brave girl aud threatened her with instaut de.ith death if she should a<ain inter fere. She replied that she intended to do all in her power to save the lives uf her parents and the little chil dren in the house. "I know you, 'Cap' Hatfield, and you cau't scare me!" said the girl, suddenly recognizing one of the men. ''Kill her, Cap; kill her; she'll be a witness against us if yon don't," said one ot the baud. "Cap" raised his Winchester and in a feeoud a bullet burrrowed in the poor girl's brain. Meautime the house was again fired iu several places and this time burned without interference. It was but a poor log structure at best and, as the logs were old aud dry, readily succumbed to the flames, fanned by the sweeping January blasts. Old Mrs. McCoy, learning of the death of her daughter, ran out of the main building toward the annex, only to be met by two or three of the mur derers, aad one of them, after a mo ment's parley, clubbed his Winches ter and struck her to the grouud, re peating the stroke several times. As the heat began to get intense within the house it became apparent that some diversion must ba nude in order to saye the lives of even the children. Calvin McCoy heroically agreed to sacrifice himself. He told his father to stay in the house while he would open the door suddenly and rush to the shelter of a corn crib handy, from which he could fight to gome purpose, while the old gentle man might get in a shot occasionally from his shot gun The father re monstrated, but the son was deter mined to make the break. It was un expected, and the youth had almost reached cover when he was discovered and a volley fired at him. One of the balls struck him iu the back of the head and he fell forward dead. At this moment the father, c!ad in bis night clothes and followed by the children, appeared in the doorway, about which almost all the assassius were huddled. As he opened the tho door and stepped out he discharg ed one barrel to his right band and the other to his left. Jihrieka of pain and baffled rage commingled in the midnight air as the fiends ran off into the darkness. Taking advantage of their discomfiture, Mr. McCoy gather ed his little ones around him and es caped to the brush, where he and they shivered till daybreak, where they were joined soon after by the mother and another daughter, who had suc ceeded in putting the body of Alfara out of reach of the flame. The two shots from Mr. McCoy's gun must have done terrible execu tion, U3 it is said two or three new made graves have been found ia tho Hatfield settlement, and as many more are said to be carrying their arms iu slings or are hobbling around on crutches. It was the first blow, the father who had been bereaved of five children, bad struck iu his own behalf; and even then it was one of desperation and not of veugearce. Coming down from the bushes in the gray of the morning, Mr. McCoy found his daughter lying near tho smoking ruins of his house,her brains oozing from a hole in her forehead. Out from the house,near the corncrib, lav the sou who had lost his own life in the heroic effort to save the lives of the otfiers. He had not even a suit of clothing left. His little grand children crowded around him,begging for fuod aud clothing. They had been dragged from bed just in time to es cape being burned to death. His wife lay near the annex, unable to move aud still dazed from the blows of the night before. Xo friend or neighbor appeared to help him and it was hours before any appeared to care for his dead or provide succor for the liviug. The atrocities of the savages that a hundred years ago had made tbe same spot historical bore no relation to the fiendish cruelties of that memorable night. After the funeral of his children, Mr McCoy, as he had no longer a home, concluded to move to Pike Court Ilovse. He took bis family there early last week and at once re turned to remove his married son and his family to the same home in Pike. —FERTILIZERS FOR THE QARDEN— In Harris' New Seed Catalogue for 1888 there is a valuable article on this subject from the pen of Joseph Harris.

Jt is a sin gular fact that those business men who are so economically inclined that can never be persuaded to advertise regularly, iu any established newspa per, are always investing their mo ney in worthless experiments. Let an entire stranger, with a smooth tongue, come to the town ivnd he ex periences little or no trouble iu secur ing abundant advertising for any catchpenny scheme. Judicious ad vertising pnys, but three is a heap of it that is iujudicious aud the money paid tor such adrertismeuts might as well be poured into a rat hole. Women in Business. In this age of extreme activity and wonderful development, it is a note worthy fact that many women have made their own way in mercantile life, and successfully compete with men in many lines of business.
