A Train Goes Through a Trestle, Killing
Five Passengers and Wo1nding Forty.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, July l3.-A terrible
accident occurred on the Virginia Midland
Railroad early yesterday morning The
through southern train that left here at
11:2o Wednesday night, went through q
trestle between Orange Court House and
Barboursville, distance of forty-eight
feet, killing five persons outright and
wounding upward of forty, some severely.
Among the killed is Cornelius Cox, of the
engineer department of the road. The
names Of the Others have not yet been re-
ceived. The train hands were all more or
less hurt, but none seriously.
About two miles south of Orange is a
trestle forty-eight feet high, which was
known to be weak and the railroad COM
pany was engaged in filling it in. The
train was moving at a speed of six miles
crossing the trestle. under regular orders
The engine had passed safely over most of
the trestle, when the smoker, mail, baggage
and express cars went down with q great
crash, dragging down the engine and ten
der and two passenger coaches Two
sleepers remained on the trestle. The
engine went down, pilot end foremost, thus
communicating no fire to the wreck All
lights were extinguished in the fall
ihc ucsiu sOilit vi the WOunueu were
taken to Orange, while tine more seriously
burt were taken TO Charlottesville and
placed in the cottage hospital, hotels and
homes of friends.
As far as now can be ascertaincd five
were killed. C. Cox, of Alexandria, of the
engineering department of the Piedmont
air line, was instantly killed: H. T. Whit
tington. of Greensboro. n. c, postal clerk.

Percentage of Blonde. and Brune.te..

In the course of fifteen minutes walk
on Broadway the other day a reporter
counted 200 women, young and old, with
hair ranging from a medium brown to
the darker shades which all but artists
call black. Only thirteen women were
passed who were of the pronounced blonde
order. Three of these were of the reddish
classes and the hair of two had apparently
been bleached. At the theatre, the same
evening, of fifty women within easy
range, six had fair skins, blue eyes and
light hair. They sat surrounded. by q
bevy of dark women, who gave its pre-
vailing tone to the complexion of the
house. Interest in the result observed
led next morning u public school. One
class of eighty girls had eight blondes to
seventy-two average browns and bru-
nettes. Another of sixty-five girls had
sixteen fair haired pupils to fifty-five
standard brown heads and darker In a
third class the proportions were seven
light to fifty muddy and dark The state
ment may be hazartied that not above
8 or 10 per cent. of New York women
are blondes. Go anywhere where pretty
girls congregate and you meet TALL strik-
ing looking figures with dark hair and
big, dark eyes. Is the blonde type disap-
pearing, and if SO why?-New York Mail
and Express.
