A correspondent asks: Where are the
biggest dog rearing farms in the worldl
Dog farming is o carried on in China
as Systematically as sheep farming any
where else. There are thousands of
small dog and goat farms dotted over
Manchuria and the eastern borders of
Mongolia. where from a o to some
hundreds OF dogs are annually reared
on zach farm, and where they consti-

bride, for instance, will receive as dowry
a number of dogs proportionate to the

that in no other part of the world are
there to be found such splendid dog

difficult to understand how the dog

the animals when the price Of the robe
is taken into consideration. For one

MANY newspapers seem to be consider
bly, agitated over the request which has
been made to Tennvson, the English poet
laureate, to write the opening ode for the
Chicago worlds ialr. The main objection
seems to be that the request puts a slight
pom esteemed American poets, One
other, objection might also be raised. The
poet laureate of late years has furnished
nothing but a sort of intellectual TUT
irutu which is not calculated to arouse any
robust emotions or create any great en-
thusiasm. The American poets are de-
cidedly good enough Tor an exposition
which is distinctively American.

FRIGHTFUL WRECK.
TWOKilled Outright and Three Fatally
Injured,
NEAR SIR JOHNS STATION ON
The Baltimore and OHIO Rallroad-Tbs Rails Spread
and Six Cars, Including Two Slsspsrs, Leave
the Track, Making Very Ugly Wreck.
The Killed and Injured.

1, CUMBERLAND, MD, October 21.-A
frightful wreck occurred on the Balti-
more .s Ohio railroad near Sir Johns
station, forty miles east Of here, this
afternoon, resulting in the instant kill
ing OF two persons and the injury Of
fonr others, three of whom will die.
Their names are as follows:

Injured:

ton, w. Va, injured about the head,

W. Va, injured internally, will die.
Charles Craig, Cumberland, postal
clerk, injured internally, will die.
J. Mcdonald, passenger, Baltimore,

the rate of fifty miles an hour. Sud

Mr. Searles on the Stand Under Cross Xxx
aminatIon-The Marriage Settlement.
SALEM. MASS, October 21.-The hear
ing in the Searles viii case was resumed
this morning with Edward L. Searles
on the stand. L. S. Dabney appeared
for the first time with counsel for the
will and Russell J. Wilson, of San Fran
cisco, Joined the coueseI for the con
teStantS.
At the opening Mr. Burley, for the
contestants, asked If Nr. Searles knew
why Timothy Hopkins had not been
notified before November Of the pro-
posed marriage, and he,reDlied that be
never dictated TO Mrs. Hopkins in any
thing in regard to her son. He first
heard of a marriage settlement from
Mrs. Hopkins. Witness objected to
marriage settlement after the English
style as it looked to much like buying a
husband.
Witness did not read the paper when
1t was signed; was told that 1t was mar
riage settlement, but knew that it could
not impose any giving BY him to her, as
he had nothing in particular to give by
a marriage settlement.
His wife probably knew OF its con-
tents, as she had caused it to be made.
He did not know whether there had
been anything paid as compensation for
trustee under this marriage settlement.
Witness never opened aletter addressed
to his wife before marriage and none
without her permission since. Mr.. Bur
ley here called for the diaries kept by
Mrs. Searles while in Europe.
Mr.. Stillman came TO Methuen on
their return and saw Mrs. Seares on
business. At the time of the marriage
the witness heard Mrs. Hopkins speak
of peril to her property, and wished
Mr.. Stillman to go to California to look
the matter up. His report after their
return was that the property was in good
shape.
The first suggestion of the copartner-
ship came from Mr.. Stillman at the
suggestion Of Mrs. Searles, to the effect
that she would like some arrangement
made to manage her business. Witness
did not understand that the lawyers
were to have 10 per cent. OF the in
come.
1t was suggested before they left for
Europe that the deeds be made to wit
ness. He did not make the sugges-
tions and did not know who did. The
papers were executed before they left,
as Mr. Tillman was to 90 to California
to look up the propert-sSFAe letter re-
ceived at Nice with the deeds were pro-
duced. The letter gave as a reason for
making the deeds that as the title was
in Mr.. Stillman and the insured title
was not, he had repugnance to record
ing the marriage settlement.
A will of Edward f. SearleS dated
November %, 1887, was introduced. 1t
left the income of sum sufficient to
yield $4,000 per year for the support
of his mother and the residue to his
wife.

at 10 o'clock this morning by President
Henry NJ. Watson. There are 800 dele
gates and about 200 supply men in at
tendance.
Mayor Gourley welcomed the dele
gates, after which President Watson
spoke at length upon the history and
prospects of the Association. The drift
of his remarks were that he favored
electric at the expense of cable roads,
and described the street railway horse
as having been electrocuted. The bal
ance Of the session was taken up with
routine matters.
One of the principal questions to be
discussed at the convention will be in
regard to an international street rail-
way convention, to be held in or near
Chicago in 1898, to which everybody in
tereSted in tramway matters abroad
will be invited.

THE VERDICT
Of Coroner Starr, of Jefferson County,

SrEUBENvILLE, October 21.-Follow-
ing is the full text OF Coroner Starts
verdict on the accident near Mingo
Junction, which resulted In the death
Of Joseph Vestner and William Marshall.
of Columbus, Ohio, as rendered this
afternoon:
After an examination Of the bodies Of
the deceased, Joseph Vestner and Will
liam Marshall, and having heard and
considered the evidence hereto attached
and made part Of this record OF inquisi-
tion, do find that said deceased came
to their deaths on the 10th day OF Octo-
Der, 1891, near Mingo Junction, Jener-
son county, from injuries received In q
collision on the PlttSburg, Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis Railroad, be-
tween passenger train No. >, bound
east, and an extra freight, No. l29,
bound west.
l find that the cause OF the collision
arose from the joint negligence OF David
Obey, engineer OF No. ?. and OF :. w.
Perry, the operator at SIX tower, short
distance west OF hlingo.
Had Obey, the engineer, complied
with the general orders, and on APP
preaching the block at the went end OF
the gauntlet, the strip OF single track
on which the accident occurred, had had
his train under control, as required, so
that should red block appear he could
absolutely stop his train west OF such
signal and west Of the gauntlet, he
would not have met and collided with
the freight, as the freight was under
orders 10 and was stopping nc the tow
eY, safe distance east OF whore No. 2
wovld have stopped had orders been
obeyed.
Had Perry not fallen asleep while on
duty, the freight train would not have
been allowed to pull out from the double
track, east OF the gauntlet, and hence,
although the engineer OF No. 2 was dor
elict, the freight would not have met
with No. . on the single track.
Under the orders as they were carried
out al the time, find there was no neg
ligence on the part Of the freight engin-
eer, as at the time OF the collision he had
his train where IL had right TO be
against all other trains.
AS to the long service OF Perry with
out sleep-nearly thirty-6ve hours-I
find that such over-servlce: was due to
n private arrangement between him and
his co-eupioye In the tower. McGrew,.
TO accommodate McGrew with a whole
days visit to Pittsburg-Porry TO serve
McGrew's tIme-instead OF one half
days absence as authorized by their
superior officer. Perry OF his own volt
tlon and agreement assuming tho pro-
longed over-seryice.
