TWO RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
One on the Virginia Midland with Fatal
Results.

Two freight trains collided on the Virginia
Midland railroad yesterday morning at about
o'clock, miles south Of Barboursville, Va.
The southbound train was in charge Of Con-
ductor Burnham, Engineer Ernest Hayes and
Fireman Fred A. Fox, and the northbound
train in charge Of Conductor R. A. Tucker,
Engineer Charles Davis and Fireman Gran
villeA Kelly. The collision resulted In
the death by scalding of Fireman Fox and
the breaking of an arm Of Engineer Hase of
the southbound train, the breaking OF leg OF
Charles Davis, engineer, and the serious bruis-
ing Of Kelly, fireman of the northbound train.
Hase was taken to his home in Charlottesville,
Va; Davis was taken to his home in Alexan-
dria, and the remains Of Fox were brought to
this city.
The accident is said to be due to the neglect
Of the southbound crew to stop at Barbours-
vile for orders, as the northbound crew had
orders to report at Barboursville, for which
point they we're making when the collision oc-
CURED. Both engines we're badly damaged, as
were the cars of both trains.
A collision occurred Saturday between Ivy
depot and Mediums river, Va, on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad. A mixed train in
charge of Capt Snead left Charlottesville
about o'clock. going west, with orders to pass
ct Ivy two sections of an eastbound freight
train. After one section had passed Ivy the
mixed train pulled out and in q short time
came in collision with the second section Of the
freight, wrecking both trains, but fortunately
injuring no one. The road was DISTRACTED
some eight or ten hours.

o'clock in the morning with a strong reconnoi-

vanced close to the dervish camp. Making a
feint of retreating. he drew the whole of Wad-
elJumis force to a point within miles of
Toski. Here the Egyptian infantry were held
In readiness for an attack and a general action
was at once begun. The dervishes made a
gallant defense, but were driven from hill to

OF effective charges, in which Wad-el-Jumi and
the emirs were killed. After several hours of
lighting the dervishes were completely routed
The deryishes fought desperately, throwing
themselves upon the advancing columns re-
peatedly and refusing quarter. The crisis Of
the battle was reached when the dervishes at

Artificial leo

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
The discussion Of the possible substitution of
artificial for natural ice has attracted good
deal Of attention, both from the public, who
are ever ready to seize any hope of escape
from paying the exorbitant prices exacted by
the ice companies, and by practical business
men as well, with an eye to any new and profit
able business. A gentleman Of wide business
experience. who has gathered considerable in
formation on the subject Of artificial ice manu-
facture from special advantages for observa-
ton, gives it as his opinion that artificial ice
could compete successfully in this city with the
natural product. He believes it can be manu.
featured here for 81 ton. He bases his judg-
ment chiefly ON the success of the experiment
in Louisville, KY. A large factory has been in
operation in that city now for eight or nine
years. The city formerly depended for its ice
supply on the crop gathered and stored at La
Porte, q place about 20 miles from Chicago
Since the Louisville company began making
artificial ice these storage houses have been
disused and have fallen into decay. When it
is considered that the cost of storing natural
ice is only about forty cents per ton, the sue
cess of the artificial article in displacing the
natural product the gentleman thinks, demon
strates the small cost at which it can be manu-
featured. Another feature Of artificial ice to
which the gentleman attaches great importance
in deciding the question of its competing sue
cessfully with the natural product is the fact,
which he afirms, that artificial ice is much
more dense and durable than natural ice frozen
in this latitude. 1t will, he says, in the open
air, outlast the other about double the time
This was proved to his satisfaction at a state
fair several years ago at Columbia, s. c., where
exhibits of natural and artificial ice were piled
up like cord wood, side by side. They were
placed on exhibition on Monday, and, while
the former wasted by the Wednesday follow
ing. the artificial ice lasted until Saturday As
for purity he saws the artificial ice will he of
course, as pure as the water of which it is
made, as the freezing materials do not come in
contact with the ice. At Louisville water is
drawn from large spring to fill the moulds in
which it is frozen, and distilled water can be
frozen with equal ease.

the matter he sought his uncle, got the note
from him. but failed TO ascertain the writer's
name. Saturday morning w. b. Meitze was

TALMAGE ON NEwsPAPERs.
Sensible Talk by the Famous RreschsR
a. to the Work Of the Press.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
every Newspaper reporter IN New York b
my personal friend. have been betrayed BY
about every class of men in the world, but
never BY Newspaper man, and I believe there
is spirit Of fairness abroad In the nevspapers
that is hardly to be found anywhere else.
There is no man, however poor, II he has been
done an injustice, that cannot get himself Get
right by the newspaper. We find great deal
Of fault with the newspapers. Perhaps by our
own indistinctness We are reported a. saying
Just what we did mot say, and there ID regular
riot Of commas and semicolons and periods, and
we get used to talking about the 'blundering
printing press Or sometimes we take up Q
paper full of social scandals and divorce cases
and we talk about the filthy, scurrilous press,
but could preach Q whole sermon on the
everlasting blessings Of q good Newspaper.
good newspaper is the grandest temporal
blessing that God has given the people Of this
century.
N''In the first place all the people read the
newspapers, and the newspapers furnish the
greater proportion Of the reading TO the peo-
pie. They don't read books. The old people
look for the deaths, the young look for the
marriages, the business man reads the business
and financial columns, and those who are un-
employed read the want ads Great libraries
make few intelligent men and women, but
newspapers lift the nations into sunlight.
'My idea of a good newspaper is q mirror Of
life itself. Some people complain because the
evil OF the world is reported as well as the
good. The evil must be reported as well as
the good, or how will we know what to guard
against or what to reform? There is q chance
for discrimination as to how much space shall
be given to reports Of such things as prize
fights, but the newspaper that merely presents
the fair and the beautiful and the bright side
OF life is misrepresentation. That family il
best qualified for the duties of life who have
told to them not only what good there is in the
world, but what evil there is in the world, and
is told to select the good and reject the evil"
