A bad smashup occurred on the Drum- mond Counties railroad on Sunday Jast, resulting in the loss of one life and a con- siderable loss in the way of damages. The I. C. R. authorities, it appears, were engag- ed in ploughing out the road, preparatory to its being formally taken over on March frst. The special train consi-ted of three engines and a Russel plow, besides care, and while ruoning ata fair rte of speed, the plow left the rails and was bedly «mashed up. The lerge I. C. R. ten wheel- er, one of the engines attached, was elso badly wrecked, while the others were more or lees damaged. Fireman Dessault was so badly injured that he has since died. To say nothing of the loss ofa life, the smashup war very costly. The Ru-sell plow cost $10,000 while the damage to the engines will likely be at least as much more.

Why He Left the Stage.

There is in Philadelphia a man who abandoned the theatrical profession be- cause he could not lift Fanny Daven- port. He wasa member of one of the local stock companies about 20 years ago, when Miss Davenport came to Philadelphia with one of the men of her company sick. She applied to the manager of the theater in which the young man referred to was employed for some one to take the sick man’s place, and asthe young actor was not in the cast of the play then running his services were loaned to Miss Davenport. He was cast for the part of Caius Lucius in ‘‘Cymbeline,’’ and the business of the part required that he should take Miss Davenport in his arms and carry her off the stage. The lady weighed considerably more than he did, and when he attempted to pick her up he found that his strength was not equal to the task. His struggles caused the audience to laugh, and that spoiled a good scene. He was so humiliated that he left the profession after that engage- ment.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
