in . telescope manner. The car was crowded
with people-every seat being occupied and
many standing in the aisle. In among these
the locomotive rushed quick as q flash, just as
the Beverly train had started, mangling and
killing in the most terrible manner. Suisse

Austria and Prussia, on some important prln
cipies of policy. The details of the agreement
were written down on both sides, ana tne twe
nature of treaty, therefore, but not of {
formal treaty, because the fnnctionaries whose
