Oause Roy to Write Letter.
The following letter. written by boy
anxious to WORK but shut out on account Of
the increase of women employed in every
imaginable position where boys have
been, is full Of sound ssnee and shows
that many OF the boys who are to be
found on the streets, are there through
no fault Of theirs, while their sisters,
who could often obtain employment
more suited to them, fill their positions
which, from their very nature, seem
suited for boys alone.

SIR: Let me ask the girls il theJ think

How would any boy Ike to be told By his
sister to stay at home and mind the

graceful and would he not be entitled TO
politely tell her to mind her own busi-

wear our pantaloons2 Is there not plenty
Of work for yon at home without taking
our places and leave us boys, anxious to

have nothing to do IL we 20 out on the

Some kind gentleman comes along,
now and again, and asks us why we don't

would work II we only got II, but We
cannot, nor can we stay all the time in

Since see the way girls act, am
opposed to women voting, and think

The Cause of the Accident.
Freight train No. % was side tracked at
Sloan's Valley. When the first Cincinnati
train passed south the crew Of the freight
appear to have overlooked the fact that
No. was to follow, and they pulled out
and started northward. Less than a quar-
ter of a mile away they entered a tunnel
which is one-sixth Of a mile long. In the
most hopeless place that trainmen ever
meet death the engines Of the two trains
dashed into each other and the cars fol-
lowing jammed into each other in a mass.
The burning of the trains in a tunnel rem
dered it impossible TO clear the track as
readily as it could be done on open ground,
the smoke aud heat preventing men from
entering.
The initial cause Of the collision was a
wreck which occurred at Elihu station,
two miles below Somerset. A mixed train
was stopping so leave a car, and had not
yet got into motion, when a freight came
up in the rear and struck the last car
Young Mr.. Payne, a commercial traveller

and drawn away from the burning train.
