An admirable feature of the work was
the charming music both vocal and instru-

room below.

is said to have been insured. He came to
Wichita recently and his remains will be
shipped to Wheeling, w. Va, Wednes-
day, for burial.
Mr.. Wade lived on South Washington
avenue and lefta wife and three children to
mourn his sad and untimely end. He too,
was insured. He was also a young man
having not yet reached 80. His life was
also insured in the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Firemen. Frank Young is also
married man, while James Martin is
unmarried.
All of them were young men Of good
character and habits and were each very
popular in railroad circles and, in fact,
among all those who knew them.
Their wives and children are broken
down with grief and are entitled to tn
sympathy and the consolation of the COM
munity.
No arrangements, so far as heard from
last night, had been made for an inquest
but it is likely the railroad men
will demand an investigation of some
kind. No funeral arrangements had
been made last night and the bodies will
probably not be buried till Wednesday.
Young and Martin will live unless their
injuries are more serious than the doctors
anticipate.

James Martin, one of the injured men,
was seen last night by a reporter of the
! EAGLE, and, although very sick man and
/ then having his wounds dressed by bis
/ physician, he kindly gave a statement
concerning the unfortunate occurrence.
I'VE started out" said he, with the
engine and one car of stock for Wichita
Reamer was at he throttle and he was
driving her at the rate of forty or forty-fiye
miles an hour. IL was jumping and rock
ing up and down and finally it jumped the
track and as we jumped it turned over on
its side and that is about all | know of it
except that it seemed TO me pieces were
flying by the hundred in every direction
Reamer was not caught under the engine
and could get away from the escaping
steam had it not been for his broken
leg. don't think Wade ever knew what
happened him as / think he was killed in

were all talking about the wreck that hap
pened at Springfield some time ago in
which three or four men Were killed and
Frank Malby was remarkiug that it was
the same kind of az engine that caused
that trouble" Here Mr. Martin showed
signs of weariness and the reporter didn't
press him for more extended explana-
tiou.
MIR. Dilday, travelling representative of
the EAGLE, came very near being in the
wreck. He was at Derby doing business
and had intended coming back on that
engine, but fortunately he hadn't his bus
iness completed by the time it left the sta
tion. He came up 10 the fatal scene on
the next train twenty or thirty minutes
after and accompanied the dead and
wounded back 10 Wichita He gives a
graphic description of the wreck and the
sutferings OF the unfortunate poor fellows
that were in il.
The engine is what is known as ELS and
was "Mogul" with three drive wheels.
1t is said that ii is the same engine that
caused the loss OF four or five lives at
Argentine some time ago Ii is also said
on good authority that Phil. Reamer. the
engineer, was not a licensed engineer,
although he bas been running the engine
in switch work for some time.
All the men in the wreck were residents
of Wichita and are well known here.

Ten DAYS for Wearing "SneeIers. >,


Talking about police justices, an old
time observer said; 1--WE have had some
pretty good specimens of police justices in
Brooklyn long before today, but one of
the most modest, unique characters /
ever came across was the late Tom Riley.
When Riley assembled the bench he did
not know much about law, but could
beat the decks in the quickness with
which he would judge a prisoner by his
appearance. Ia those days what were
known as "speeler" trousers were in
vogue with certain young men, and Riley
was very much down on them. Indeed,
1t was said that the mere fact that an
accused person had mis- neither limbs COW
cred by the Objectionable garment was
regarded by Riley as prima facie evil
dence of guilt.
lone morning a young fellow was
arraigned before him. The Judge list
ened to the evidence, but that did not
seem to move him. Finally he arose
from his seat, looked over the desk at
the young mans trousers, the ends of
which protruded far over the shoes, and
calmly remarked: 'Speelers. Ten DAYS. ,
1t is needless to add that after that the
new kind of trousers soon went out of
fashion. brooklyn Eagle.

GRANDMOTHERS DAYS.

In our grandmothers' days, when cabin rude,
Unfinished and bare, held the little all
Of the pair who were building the household
fire,
The light of it falling on window and wall,
Was there less of happiness then than now?
liz our grandmothers' days, when the kettle
swung
On the sooty crane in the chimney wide,
AID the spitted fowl, that sputtered and sung,
Swung gently from side TO side,
Was there less of happiness then than now?
In our grandmothers' days, when the broad
stone hearth
Was the trysting place of the lovers dear.
And the high backed settle reflected the glow
OF the freight on faces suggestively near,
Was there less of happiness then than nows
In our grandmothers' days, when the children
came,
And the humble home was filed with glee,
AS. clothed in their gGrb Of homespun, they
roamed
And frolicked Ike birds and butterflies free,
Was there less of happiness then than nowS
In our grandmothers' days, when the cradle
stood
In sound Of the burning, whirring wheel,
And the baby crooned and clapped his hands
At each click of the swiftly revolving reel,
Was there less of happiness then than now?
In our grandnothers' days, when trouble came,
And sometimes even the wolf, to the door,
The home was their castle and love lent it
grace,
And if oft times the battle of life was full sore,
Was there less of happiness then than now2

In battle Corean generals are ALWAYS
accompanied by their servants. When
he rides on horseback, general has a
| servant on each side of his war horse ia
hold him in position, and third stands
at the horses head TO hold the animal
during the fight, or TO lead 1t TO the ad-
vance or retreat.
These servants accompanied General
Han to the gate of the kings audience
! hall. They left him there, and he walked
alone across the yard, with his head bent
and his sword hilt toward the ground.
He walked softly up the steps at the left
leading into the room in which his males

on all fours and bumped his head before

his king.
Then, rising, he stood, with his sword
uplifted, at the right of the king. while
my audience took place. AT the close of
1T he backed out from the kings presence
with Bonded head, and so continued ill
outside the gate, where he again sprang
into greatness, and had a whole host of
servants to do him homage.

the ruin of the service. Corea will

When our forefathers began to num-
Der the houses in their cities they went
to work in very simple fashion. They
put on the first house, 2 on the next,
on the third, and so on until they came
to the end of a street Then they crossed
over, and if the last house they had num-
bered was so, the first on the opposite
side was 81, the next 81, and so on until
they came back to their starting point,
when perhaps number 100 faced number
l. As straight and regular streets took
the place of crooked and winding ones a
new plan of numbering came into
vogue. The odd numbers were given to
the houses on one side of the street, and
even numbers to those on the other side.
When a streets direction was known a
number at once told whether a house
faced north or south, or east or west

Universal Brick Press.

A machine has been designed for max.
ing bricks and tiles on the semi-dry
process. The clay or material to be
formed into bricks is fed into hopper
in a loose and graduated state. The
finish is delivered as the charger re-
turns to refill the empty mold Each
brick receives four distinct presses,
whereby the air is thoroughly expressed.
All the labor required is one man TO tip
the clay INTO the grinding pan, and one
boy to take of the bricks as the machine
delivers them.
Among the various purposes for which
This machine is employed, besides brick
and tile making, are the forming Of
purple ore, or "blue billy, " into briquettes
for the smelling furnace, the forming Of
nickel oxide into cakes for the asssying
furnace, the forming OF dry cement COM
pound into blocks ready for ciinkering
and the pressing OF coal and coke bri-

Catholic Bibles.

The clergy of the Roman Catholic
church brought out in 1882, at Rheims,
an English translation of the New Tesla
ment, and in 1910, at Douai, an English
version of the Old Testament, now
known as "the Douai Bible" Like Wy
cliffs, these were translations of trans
lation, taken from the Latin Vulgate
The Douai Bible abounds in curious n.y.
brid words which one never meets with
anywhere else, but quite a large num-
Der Of the readings and renderings Of the
Douai Bible were adopted by the revis-
ers in 1881. They did not, however,
adopt the variation of the "treacle" rem
dering which the Douai revisers took,
SIS there no rosen in Galaad?'
The Catholic version of the Bible now
most commonly used in this country is
one made by DR.. Challoner, in 1749 and
1850, of the Rheims New Testament and
the Douai Old Testament. A revision of
both was also made in 1888 by the Rev.

ton of Archbishop Troy. of Dublin, and
