Two Men Lose Their Lives in Railroad
Acknowledgements Escape.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, October IS
The most disastrous accident that ever
happened on the Chesapeake * Ohio
Railroad occurred at the switch opposite
Porters ferry yesterday morning. A train,
due here at 4.36 am, but half an
hour late, struck the switch, which
was oren. and ran over the
embankment about fifteen feet,
drawing after ii the tender, baggage car,
two coaches, and Pullman sleeper. Two
of the passenger coaches telescOped, the
stove was upset In the baggage car, and
In very few moments the car was on
fire. The flames extended to the other
coaches, but before any one was injured,
other than the fireman, the passengers,
about fifty in number, escaped by jump
ing through the windows aid doors TO
the ground. The flames gained such
headway that il was impossible 10 save
the mail and baggage.
Fireman John G. Elkins, resident OF
Hinton, had in some manner been
wedged in the Gao and could not get out.
The intense heat drove of the would-be
rescuers, and after the fire had died ou!
a portion of the body was taken out OF
the ruins. Search was continued for
Others who might have perished in The
flames, and portion OF dead body,
which was Identified as that OF Conductor
w. A. Netherlsnd, was discovered in the
smouldering flames. Netherland, when
last seen, was working to save the i'm
prisOned fireman.

There Is nothing in that. When 1t Is the
public desire that there should be no

dicate no cowardice for either party to
change the date for the demonstration.

cosole her.

being moved with pity for 80 much grief,
took in his baud fake Of the snow, and,
breathing upon it, babe it take the form Of
a flower and bud and bloom. He at the

Education Of Children

The theory of the education of masses Of
children all alike is wrong theory. No
two individual things in the inorganic or
orgrnic world were ever created alike in
all particulars. The law of difference is
the law of nature, and the following of the
law of nature is the road toward success.
As this principle in education becomes
more aud more apprehended, the more
will processes in education cease TO he
be empirical, and becomes more practical.
