further than that, in that it provided fol
the adoption of code of rules, and ap

that no question of consideration coult

eighty one freight cars was coming
down the steep grade on the Reading
Road, Just outside of Shamokin the
trainmen lost control of 1t. The rails
were slippery, the brakes useless and
down towards the coal docks the train
rushed at terrific speed. Engineer
Fry, of Tamaqua, held fast to the
throttle, Il ough his fireman jumped,
until he saw that collision with some
coal oars at the dock was inevitable.
Then he, too, jumped and bis train
crashed into the cars and hurled them
with a shifting engine down the en-
bankment at the side of the trestle
work.
The crew of the shifting engine saw
the runaway train approaching and
escaped in time. Engineer Fry was
only slightly bruised, as also was hii

BERLIN, Nov. 16-Professor Koct
holds supreme sway over public inter
est. The publication of the excite
ment has intensified the excitement botf
here and abroad, and from every Con
ter of Europe and America telegram,
of inquiry are pouring in on Koch
Pfuhl, Cornet, Bergman and other
medical men who are known to be en-.
gagged in treating patients by the new
method. Koch's clinic in Albrecht's
strssse, the Imperial Sanitary institute
Reichsgesundheitsanit, where Corne,
and other Kochists are at work, are
swamped with letters ard personal
applications.
Many medical men, including a mum.
Der of English and American physi-
clans, have been studying the process
under DR. Levy, in the same wards of
private hospital at No. 26 Preuz' auer
strasse, where Professor Koch first
achived striking results with small
means. Here since October eight
prominent cures of consumptives have
been in progress.
The secret of the composition of the
lymph has been communicated to Pro
fessors Bergman, Fraentzal, Brieger,
Levy and other intimates of Professor
Koch here also to Professor Weigert,
of Frankfort; DR.. Rast, chief of the
Hamburg hospital, and Professor
Nothnagel. of the Viena university.
Professor Nothuagel, addressing the
students of the university. said; "We
face one of the greatest intellectual
achievements in the province of medi-
cine for centuries past. Professor
Koch's discovery has far wider scope
than Jenner's, and is perhaps the
