His Story Shows That the Czarowitl
Is Far from Brave.
I ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 6.-The letter
which recently appeared in The Ber
lingske Tidende of Copenhagen, in which
Prince George of Greece gave detailed
account of the attack made on the
czarowitz at Otsu, near Kioto, Japan,
by Japanese policeman, has greatly
altered the estimates which were at
first formed here of the princes action
upon that occasion, and has been tha
means of placing him in terrible dis
grace in this city.
1t is considered here that the story az
told by Prince George emphasizes Ger.
tain rumors that the cZarowitz did moi
exhibit much bravery in running away
when he was attacked. Particular of
fense is taken at the statement in the
princes published letter that after the
czaroSitz had been struck, and while he
was endeavoring to make his escape
from his assailant, he tumbled to the
ground through sheer fright.

DASTARDLY PLOT.
It Results in Throwing a Train
from the Track.
powNA ATHIRTY FOOT EMBANKMENT

The Sleeping Car Turned Over
Twice in the Descent, and Yet Not
Single Passenger Was Killed,
Though Many Received Serious
Injuries.
KALAMAZOO, Mich, Aug. GA das-
tardly and successful plot to wreck
train was carried into execution yester-
day afternoon on the Grand Rapids and
Indiana road near Cooper, the first sta
tion north of Kalamazoo. The fated
train was the through express carrying
the Mackinaw and Chicago sleeper and
due here at noon. After leaving Cooper,
and while the train was running thirty
five miles an hour, Engineer Clark Sny-
der noticed what appeared to be an open
switch a short distance ahead. He
quickly applied the air brakes, but be-
fore the train could be stopped it had
reached the fatal spot. The engine
wheels caught in the rails and ties and
staid on the track, but the rest of the
train went over an embankment thirty
feet high.
The Car Rolled Over Twice.
There were about sixty passengers in
the train and twelve in the Wagner
sleeping car. In the descent of the lat
ter to the bottom of the embankment it
rolled over twice, and finally rested
right side up almost completely demol-
ished. The trucks and wheels tore with
terrific force through the bottom of the
coach, and the escape of the passengers
from instant death is nothing short of a
miracle. Brakeman Conway, of Ft.
,,,. ~. 4,
head, ran to this city for aid. A special
train bearing corps of surgeons went
out, and in an hour brought the injured
to the Borgess. hospital.
A Deliberate Plot.
While the injured were being cared
for railroad men investigated the cause
of the accident and discovered that it
was caused by a deliberate plot to wreck
the train. What seemed to Engineer
Snyder to be an open switch was q rail
sprung from its place by bolts being
taken out. The condition of the nuts
and bolts plainly showed this. They
were not broken, and marks on the nuts
showed where the wrench had been
used. The ties and spikes used i'll hold
ing down the rails bore evidence of hav-
ing been tampered with.
List of the Injured.
The following is a list of the injured:
A. Conway. of Wayne, head cut; N. b.
Williamson, Trenton, N. j., arm injured,
head cut, great loss of blood; DIR. q. B.

searles Doesn't Believe Il.

METHUEN, Aug. GA reporter called
at the mansion of Mr.. e. F. Searles, the
millionaire widower of Mrs. Mary Hop
hns-Searles, to ascertain what was
known, if anything, of the alleged prop
osition to contest Mrs. Searles' will. Mr..
Searles positively refused to be seen.
Mr.. Bell, his private secretary, stated
that MIR. Searles was deeply indignant
over the newspaper stories. Mr.. Bell
thought the report that Timothy Hop.
klns would contest the will of his late
foster mother was untrue and utterly
ridiculous. In closing the interview he
remarked: "You are authorized to deny
that Mr.: Searles has any knowledge Of
an impending lawsuit. :"

In its first stages diarrhea may usually
be checked by feeding boiled rice with
powdered chalk. Three drops of CAM
phorated spirit on a pill of meal four
times day may be given in severe cases,
and rice boiled in milk should then be
ths only food. Barley is the first grain
fed on recovery. Bone dust is excellent
as a preventive, and young chickens
should be well supplied with it. This
disease, which is liable to run into
cholera, is caused usually by wet or cold
Weather, lack of fresh water and green
food, or the means or shelter from exces-
siye sun. In addition to the remedies
suggested it is advised to shelter the sick
birds from the sun and also from damp.

THE ENGINE TURNED ovER.
And Two of the Nineteen Passen-
| gers Received Fatal Injuries.

anu Two OF the Nineteen Passens
gers Received Fatal Injuries.
: CUMBERLAND, Md, Aug. 0. - At
switchback. on the West Virginia Gen.
tral railroad, about sixty miles from
here, seventeen men boarded an engine
to go to their work in the lumber re-
gions. Two women asked permission to
ride out short distance to a berry
patch. Their request was granted, and
the engine containing the nineteen pas
sengers started on its journey. It had
hardly got under steam when the en-
gine struck a piece of timber that was
lying on the track, turning it COM
pletely over.
As soon as the men who were least in
Jured could manage to extricate them
selves they went to work to release their
more unfortunate comrades, whose con-
dition was pitiable to behold. The first
person extricated was Alice Robbins.
The escaping steam had cooked the flesh
on her face, arms and hands in hor-
rible manner, and her injuries are con-
sidered fatal. John Mckenzie, who
lives at Frostburg, was caught under
the engine and scalded SO badly that he
died later of his injuries. The others
seriously but not fatally injured are:
Robert Robinson, the engineer, badly
scalded and bruised; Frank Craver, fire
man, scalded and bruised; Lewis Lay
man, scalded about hands and face;
John Hickey, hurtinternally and scalded;
Jennie burst, badly bruised and scalded.
AS soon as word could be sent the
physicians of Elk Garden, the nearest
town, We're telegraphed for, and they
promptly responded, relieving as far as
possible the sufferings of the injured.

attorney, says the failure was due to de-
probation in southern securities. The

however, and in most cases it was but a
temporary embarrassment. Tho stock

thereabouts. Mr.. Einstein confidently

virulent feeling occurred at Elisabetgrad,

ghetto, and in every way tried to avoid
coming in contact with the members of
the mob.
