ELEVEN KILLED.
Distressing Hallway Accident at Manches-
ter. Eng.


ter. Eng.
LIVERPOOL, July 2O.-A terrible acct
dent occurred along the line of the
Manchester ship canal. A train pass.
ing along the railroad running near
the canal fell over the latter's embank-
ment near this city, killing eleven men
who were working under the heading.
In addition to the men killed, many
other workmen were injured.
The accident was due to the fact that
the pointsman, q boy II years of age,
mistook the points and turned a rail
road train, consisting of twenty-five
wagons loaded with ballast, into a
siding leading into cutting. The
train then crashed into a slight buff
fer at the end of the cutting
and toppled over upon the men at work
below the em6ankment. The bodies
OF the men killed were horribly mu-
tilated. The boy pofntsman ran away
when he saw, the accident which was
due to his mistake. The lad was cap
turcd later in the day and was charged
with manslaughter.

Mental Longevity.


Three hundred years ago centcnari:
ans were almost as frequent as now.
but there is no doubt that the value of
longevity has considerably increased.
The biographical chronicle of the
middle ages abounds with instances of
old men who died atop-surviving his
own soul, ," as Dean Swift expressed it
from personal experience, While the
nineteenth century seems rs prolific Of
Patriarchs who preserve their mental
yigor to the very last. The names OF
Goethe, Bancroft, De Lesseps,, Glad.
stone and Kossuth prove that their in.
tellectua1 longevity cannot be consid.
cred the privilege of any special ma.
ton, but rather as the result of sani-

when he was thirty-fve years old.
Since then he has written an average
of two books q year, and is now the
author of sixty volumes of more or less

Before putting a single line to paper he
mentally prepares all his material,
makes his maps, lays out his routes
and reflects upon his work for months.
Then, when the story has been written
he corrccts it at least ten times before
giving the final proofs to the printer.
Tho majority of his books are works of
