e A special from Soda Springs of tn,

n the Oregon Short Line was wrecked

. Another railroad horror occurred
Thursday in New York state. The ac-
}, cident was caused by freight train on
: the West Shore road breaking in two,
, and the st. Louis express, which was
following, crashing into the rear portion
of the freight train. Ten Italians, who
) we're en- route to Niagara Falls and who
were in the smoking car, were killed and
: eleven others were injured. All of the
passenger train bura except the three
sleeping cars, but it is thought that
most of the occupants escaped. The in
jured were taken to Syracuse and cared
for, while the bodies Of those killed were
turned over to the coroner at Port
Byron, where an inquest will be held.
DR.. Henry T. Helmbold, the famous
Buchu man, who was credited with hav-
ing piled up a fortune of S1O,OOO,OOO by

1t is the fourth time within the last
twenty years that the doctors family
has been compelled to place him under
restraint. This will probably be the
last, for competent physicians have pro-
nounced his case hopeless
Secretary Tracy has finally decided to
award the contracts for building cruiser
No. Ii to Cramp & Sons of Philadelphia,
although both the iron works of Maine
were the lowest of the bidders. In ex-
planation Of his action the secretary
says the Bath company cannot build the |
engines, but propose to sub-let that part
OF the work, and it would be inconven-
lent to have the hull and engines built
at different places; further that the
Bath company admit they could not
complete the vessel within contract
time, and finally, that it would be too
great risk to give the building of one
OF the most important ships in the navy
to new and inexperienced firm.
