 CUMBERLAND, Md, March 14.-A huge boulder rolled down the mountainside to-day and fell upon the Western Virginia Central railroad track in cut between Ohaffee and Blaine, forty miles of the city. The work train with crew of twelve men was dis patched to the spot to remove the obstruc- tion. While they were at work great mass of earth from the steep mountain side over whelmed seven of them. Two were dead when taken out and one has died since, and three were seriously and perhaps fatally in. jured. The dead arc: Jamee o. Lambert Of Chaffee, W.

Entertainments. DIxEY Is COMING.

Adonis Dixey or Mir. Henry E. Dixey, as he will hencsforth be known, will be at the Hyperion thester the latter half of next week. His artistic success will without doubt coon save him from being alluded to as Adonis. Enough is known of the "Seven Ages" from it's run in New York to insure a very large attendance on Thursday night next. The production here in every detail will be ore. cisely the same as at the Standard theater. There are two features of the production, however, which most everyone will be sur prised to find in burlesque and they are re- spectively Miss Elaine Ellison and Miss Der tha Williams. The former lady has nothing to do with the burlesque proper, but merely talks to the audience between the several ages-this, however, she does in such g charming manner as to earn for her the next best hit to Dixey himself. The other is 6 little lady aged three years, probably the youngest speaking child on the stage, but although she has but half dozen words tc speak, she has been the subject of many eulogies by the most prominent critics and syndicate letter writers of the country.

AN ACCIDENT IN OHIO.

A Fast Train Ruus Into . Huge BouI-
 der-The Engine Thrown Into a
 River-All the Cars sDitched-0ne Man
 Killed-SeveralI Injured.
 NEWARK, O.. March 14.-A frightful wreck occurred at Blackhand on the. Central Ohio division of the Baltimore and sOhio railroad this morning. One man was killed outright, two were dangerously wounded and five slightly. A large rock had rolled on the track two miles west of the point named and the fast Chicago vestibule train, running forty miles an hour and due here at 12:30, struck the rock, which was as large as passenger coach. Atthe place where the accident oc. cured there is high hill on one side of the road and the river flows on the other. The engine was dumped completely around and thrown into the water, while the baggage, sleeper were all ditched, the trucks being knocked out from under them. There were about onehundred passengers aboard and the accident was remarkably fortunate one in it's results.
 Only 8 few minutes before the accident the watchman passed the place and the wreck had not fallen. Engineer John Moore saw engine too late to be of any use. He was thrown from his cab, together with Engineer John Hart, who happened to be on the train at the time, and although they alighted on soft dirt, both were probably fatally hurt internally. Fireman Jesse Balin was found alongside the track, mangled frightfully. Many others were injured, but none fatally.
 THE WESTERN RIVERS.
 Water Running over the Levees at
 Newport, Ark. - Heavy Losses sus.
 talned.
 MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 14-A special to the Appeal from Newport, Ark, says: The rivers commenced running over the levees at ten o'clock last night and the whole town except Fort street is now four inches under water. Business is entirely suspended. The White and Black rivers commenced falling this afternoon and it is hoped the worst is over. The damage to the adjacent country is very heavy. The rise was sudden and without warning. Everything moveable are gone. The country south of Newport, which embraces some of the finest farms is very heavy, regardless of the loss of busf- ness.
 MEMPHIS, March 14.-The river is now at the highest point ever recorded and is still rising. Passengers on the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas railroad on the train 1eav- ing New Orleans last night and arriving here this morning were treated to novel scenes along the road. The lowlands and lsgoons in the Mississippi delta are flooded until the only land visible is the ridge on which the track runs and promontories which protrude above the water now and then. These placea afford shelter for hundreds of squirrels and small game driven there by inundation. Huts and cabins in the lover lands are sub merged several feet in water. Tied at their doors are skiffs and dugouts which afford their occupants their only means of transit from one place to another.

In few weeks now one of the most objec- tionable trestles that any railroad ever built will be entirely filled in. It is what is known as the Round Hill brook trestle on the Derby extension.

 The men in charge of the shovel live on the track, having car fitted up for that purpose, including kitchen, dining room and sleeping apartments.

Socialism in Germany.

Major Wilhelm Kaufman, editor of
the Cleveland Anzeiger, who has spent
the past year in Germany and is familiar
with the political situation there, says
I'm Germany the common lot of o
common man is to pay taxes, serve as a
soldier and keep his mouth shut. The
Socialists want to do away with armies,
and they claim that if they get in power
there will be no more war, but an inter
national brotherhood of peaceful men.
The workingmen are told that when
the Socialists are in power they will not
have to work so hard or so Tonga very
cunning device to catch votes. The
gain they make entitle them to repre-
sentation on all the committees of the
Reichstag. The anti Socialist law will
fall. They will not be so oppressed
They will have liberty in organizing
openly, and opportunity will be given
them to develop the programme of the
future. think that the result will be
that Germany will drift more and more
into parliamentary government, and
the rights of the crown will be lessened
1t is truly strong indication of great
anti monarchial movement in Europe
Tie government must RELY upon the
middle classes more, and not so much
upon the bureaucracy and aristocracy.
There is no danger that the Socialistic
party will be the ruling one, These
elections do not mean the fall of the en-
pire or the division of property, but they
mean that Germany will be more
literally governed country.

ONLY NEEDED CAPITAL.
Another Great Inventor who Meet,
with an Unappreciative Reception.

Another Great Inventor who Meets
with an UnapprecIative Reception.
The office of Chief Paris is the Mecca
of all the fire escape inventors in the
country They all seem to head for
Washington, and the first thing they
do upon arriving is to call on the chief
explain to them the working OF the ap-
paratus, and ask him for written in
dorsement of it. Scarcely day passes
without his receivinga visit from one
or two of these inventors, each Of
whom of course, claims that his is the
best, cheapest and simplest flre.escape
In the world. Many Of these contri-
vances are really mehtorous, but large
number of them are ilnpracticable
emanations from the brains Of cranlts.
The acme of the ridiculous, ho Sever,
was reached this morning, when wild
eyed man with a small box nler his
arm slalkcd into the chiefs office and
deposited the box on his desk.
81 have here" he said, '1he only
thoroughly safe fire-escape that ever
was invented. This is only model of
it / have here, he continued, taking
from the box and holding up to view
small. oval sheet-iron receptacle.
The escape, when completed, will be
made of the heaviest boiler iron. It
will be little over six feet high, aud
one side of il opens like door, The
inside is thickly padded. This string
! which you see coming out of the top of
| the model is to be rope which is
fastened inside about the middle of the
escape. 1t is suspended by this rope
just outside the window of each room
or n hotel, with the door facing the
window.
"When a fire breaks out the occu-
pant of the room opens the window,
steps into the escape, shuts the door
and fastens it by patent clamp of my
own device. He then cuts the rope
with a knife he finds hanging beside it,
and down goes the machine to the
ground, Then the door is opened, my
patent clamp working from both sides,
and the man comes out safe and sound
You sec, the iron will be so thick thai
a fall from the top of a ten-story build
ing will not so much as dent it, and the
thick padding inside prevents the man
from being injured by the jarring when
the escape strikes the ground. Now
Mr.. Paris, / want you to give me 6
few lines approving of my invention
which, / am sure, must strike you ia
vorably. and that will be great helr
to me in obtaining the necessary capita
to place it on the market. There's
money in it, for the escape only needs
to be seen to be sold, but it'll take {
great deal of capital to manufacture it
and ! want to get up company"
He didn't get the recommendation
and left the Office muttering something
about all great inventions being unap
preciated at first.
