COLLISION IN THE G. 4 o. RAILROAD
YARD HERE.
A Fireman Has Leg Broken-Bag'
gage-Car and Tender
Smashed.

There was collision at the Chesa-
peake and Ohio depot last night which
resulted in the breaking Of one of Fire.
man jim Britton's legs and the destruc-
,ion of considerable property.
Owing to an accident at Lewis's
tunnel, west Of Clifton Forge, the
incoming passenger train due here
at 8:55 P. NJ. dia not arrive until
about 1890.
When this train arrived at the yard
and was opposite the grain-elevstor the
engine was cut loose and switched Off
on q side track, as usual, and the train
allowed to run on down grade to the
depot by itself. 1t was expected to ar
rive at 1925, but was four or five mi
nutes later than that.
At the time Of it's arrival a shifting
engine, on which Mr.. Jim Conner was
engineer and Jim Britton, Esq, fire.
man, was running on the main track.
The switch had just been turned for
the "shifter to go in on q side track,
and it was in motion when the coaches.
which were coming around bend and
close on it, ran into il, causing dam-
aging collision.
The engine-teuder and the baggage
car, which first came in contact with
it, were both badly smashed. The
front platform and steps Of the former
were broken up; the front truck was
knocked about ten feet out Of place,
and the car was otherwise badly dam
sged. The water.tank of the engine
tender was mutilated and showed up
against the cab. which was broken into
fragments, and what was left of it was
hesped up on the engine.
Mr. Britton, the fireman on the shift
er, was caught between tho tender and
cab and had his right leg broken be-
tween the ankle and knee. He was
fortunate, indeed, not to have been
killed. The engineer escaped unhurt.
The wounded man was laid on hand
car near by and DR.. Ross summoned,
who examined his limb and splinted
and dressed it. The doctor is Of the
opinion that both bones were broken.
Mr.. Britton received other injuries,
such as bruises and scratches, but none
of them were serious. After lying on
the hand-car for an hour or more he
was taken to his home, on Seventeenth
street. He is about twenty-one year,
old and unmarried.
The collision occurred about square
from the depot. Of course The pa'sen-
gers had to get off there and walk
down. A number of hands were pu. TO
work directly after the accident oc-
cured to remove the baggage from the
car and get 1t in such shape that II
might be moved from the main track.
Captain Wright was conductor and Mr..
Chslkley engineer on the incoming
train.

Accident ON the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway.


The Louisville express, passenger
train on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
way, bound east, loaded with passen-
gers for Richmond and northern points,
met with an accident yesterday about
noon in the Allegheny tunnel, point
fifteen miles west of Clifton Forge. 1t
came near being very serious affair.
The train had reached the eastern mouth
of the tunnel, when the engine struck
large rock nine feet in diameter lying
partly on the track. 1t had rolled from
the top Of the mountain and lodged on
the track. No passengers or train
hands were hurt. The engine was con-
sidersbly damaged, and the Washing
ton Pullman-car, which was in the rear,
had its front truck broken, caused by
the sudden stoppage.
A force of hands was at once put to
work and the road was cleared in one
hour and half.

CHINESE REMEDIES.
Some Of the Dainty Drugs Prescribed b,
Celestial Physicians.

Some of the Dainty Drugs Prescribed by
Celestial Physicians.
The materia medica OF the Chinese
profession is something stupendous.
The Pan-Tso, their standard work, is in
thirty-eight volumes. 1t presents 1895
formule, into the makeup of which
over 1900 substances enter. While
there is almost no end to Chinese drugs,
there are some substances which are
fsvorites in the practice. Among these
are claws and bones of the tiger and
other wild animals, the cuttle-fish,
dragons teeth, fossils, the hide, horn
and bones of the elephant and rhi-
noceros, the scorpion, snake skins, SCOT,
and so on.
A favorite remedy is known as ''the
tincture of five poisons, " made by steep
ing scorpions, snakes and other venom
Gus creatures in samshu. This is given
for fever. rheumatism and catarrh. In
some parts of China it is considered the
very highest degree of philanthropy for
the rich to place this tincture at their
doors, to be used without cost by the
poor. Gunpowder, termed the ''fine
drug" is used as a vermifuge. Asensible
remedy, which is of comparatively re-
cent introduction among more enlight-
ened people, is the gizzard of the COM
mon fowl, prescribed for dyspepsia. But
the great cure-all with the Chinese is
ginseng root. The resemblance which
the roots often bear to the human form,
either as the result of natural growth or
skillful trimming, is given as the reason
for the Chinese faith in the universal
efficacy of this drug. Large and choice
specimens of the root are carefully pre-
served in embroidered coverings and in.
closed in cases of varying sizes, the
whole being locked in brass-bound
chests. An extraordinarily fine specl-
men is worth five hundred dollars. The
hunting of these roots is pursued with
all the ardor of gold-seeking.
The Chinese have little use for sur
gerry. They resort to cupping and
leeching and lancing on small scale,
and that is about as far rs they 60.
Morbid growths are removed with what
is known as ''the five tigers specific" a
composition of sulphate of iron, alum,
nitrate of potash, metallic mercury and
verditer. In only one respect is their
surgery heroic. They will shove a
needle into the body anywhere about as
| far as it will go.-Dr. g. W. Woods, D.

A Great Scientific Discovery.

A remarkable discovery has recently
oeen communicated to the Academy of
Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, in re-
gard to reproduction in Ameba, the
well-known unicellular plant, found in
the blood of animals. 1t has been the
general belief that these low organisms
propagate only by division; but DR.
Leidy reports two Independent observa-
tons, where reputable microscopists OBJ
served dust-like particles to be elected
from the cells, in all probability the an
alogrses or equivalents of spores in fungi.
If confirmed, it will place plants, former
ly thought to be exceptions, in line with
other departments of the vegetable king
dom that have two forms of reproduc-
ton. Dr. Leidy, however, rarely puts
faith IN any observations that are not
either well authenticated or are in line
with other observations; and the fact
that he believes these observations worthy
of announcement is a strong point in
favor of the reality of the phenomena
