AN AUTOMATIC DISASTER.

Two Trains Wrecked and Several Persona
Killed and Injured by q System which
Worked Wrong on a Closo Connection.
: WASHINGTON, February 20. NORTH
pound passenger train No. 81 of the
virginia Midland Railroad and the
south-Dound freight train of the Balti-
moro ~ Potomac Railroad collided at
four Mile Run, about three miles
nofth OF Alexandria, about 10 o'clock
last night. The Virginia Midland
tram was due at 1908 and was on time;
1t had the right of way. The train was
made up of the engine, mail, express,
baggage, one passenger and two sleep-
ing cars. AS the passenger train
emerged from the viaduct at Four Mile
Run it was struck by the freight train.
The engineer of the freight train had
both legs and one arm cut off and died
before being taken from the wreck.
The conductor of the passenger train
was crushed between two cars, and the
engineer of tho freight train and the
fireman OF the passenger train were
evidently killed when the engines came
together. Portions of their bodies
were dragged out Of the burned wreck
OF the engines some hours after the
collision. The fireman of the freight
saved his life by jumping. The killed
are George Frcer, engineer of the
freight; Tom Darby, fireman Of the
passenger; Andrew Augur, conductor
of the passenger; and Bruce, cngi-
nccr of the passenger train. Injured:
Il. w. Jones, chief clerk of the postal
car, about the head and body; w. A.
McNcal, mail agent, about the head :;
Z. Il. Stewart, postal clerk; J. T..
Crane (colorcdD, postal clerk; Thomas
Gaylor, mail wcighcr, severely.
The latest report from the scene of
the collision at -Four Mile Run makes
it certain that four men were killed in
the accident, with the probability that
one other who is missing is buried
under the wreck. The killed are all
train hands.
WAsuINGroN, February 2O.-Thc
postal officials say the collision on the
Virginia Midland Railroad last night
caused the largest loss of mail matter
of which there is any record in the
department. The fire which resulted
from the collision destroyed thirteen
through registered mail pouches COM
ing from New Orleans, Mobile and
other points in the South, and destined
for Washington, New York and East
ern cities. These pouches arc known
to have contained money and valua-
blcs, but to what amount cannot yet
be asccrtaincd. The fire also DESTROYED
100 sacks of ordinary mail matter, Il
heavy miscellaneous mail and 19O reg
istcrcd letters taken up for delivery
along the line and not enclosed in
pouches. The ordinary mail lost is
supposed TO have come from Louisiana,
Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, parts Of
Georgia and South Carolina and points
i'll Virginia.

Malarial Poison.

The drouth in Southwest Georgia
last spring dried up the wells, and we
were compelled to use wafer from the
creek on the plantation. The result
was that all were troubled with chills
and fever. | carried with me several
bottles of Switt's Specific, and as long
as took it had perfect heath. AS
soon as l ceased taking it, like the
rest, was afflicted with chills. When
L resumed its use, l was all right
again. We have used it in our family
as an antitodc for malaria poison for
two or three years, and have never
known it TO fail in single instance.
