WASHINGTON, Noy. 1S.-Com-
modore Farquhar, chief of the
bureau of yards and docks, in his
annual report to the secretary of the

preparations for the maintenance of

so limited it has not been possible
to keep pace in repairs. Great per-
manent improvements have been
made, however,in the yards. Stress
is laid upon the necessity of an in

yards and stations are: Boston, ,Sl27,-

Where the Idea of Canning Came From.
Few peop Q are aware that we are
indebted to the people of old Pom
peii, who We're all smothered in the
First century of the Christian era,
for one Of the most important indus
tries OF our time-the canning bust
ness. Years ago, when the first ex-
cavations We're made in that buried
city, an Al lerican came upon sew
eral Jars OF figs. When they were
opened the contents were found TO
be as fresh and palatable as when
they were put up eighteen centuries
before.
Investigations instituted on the
spot proved that the fruit had been
put into ] rs in highly heated
state, and that an aperture for the
escape OF steam had been left in the
nd, which, when it had served its
purpose, was sealed over with wax
Yankee ing nuity caught the idea al
once and the next year cannin~
factories Were erected all over the
gnited States. Chicago Herald.

A RAMPANT TRAIN.
Tearing Wildly Down a Mountain
Side Two Engines Smashed.

Tearing Wildly Down Mountain
Side Two Engines Smashed.
MONTEREY, Mexico, Nov. 49,
The particulars Of one Of the most
remarkable and exciting railroad ac-
cidents that ever occurred in Mexico
have reached here. The catastrophe
occurred three days ago on the
Mexican National line, but only
meager details of it were received
here until yesterday. The grade of
the Mexican National road from this
city for distance of 80 miles beyond
Saltillo is very steep, and two en-
gines are required TO get ordinary
freight trains over the Sierra Madre
mountains above Saltillo. On Sum-
day afternoon one of the double
headers was pulling trainload of
corn up the mountain side, IL miles
south of Saltillo; the coupling broke,
releasing the caboose and six cars
filled with 5000 bushels of corn from
the train. james Martin, the COLI
ductor, and Frank Harwood, the
rear brakeman, were in the caboose.
They rushed out and began setting
brakes, but were powerless to stop
the increasing momentum of the
cars down the mountain. Within
a distance of six miles the train was
running at speed of 80 miles an
hour.
The cars began jumping the track
at Bwena Vista, and Martin and
Harwood went down, both meeting
a terrible death. Before Saltillo
was reached, all of the cars with
the exception of the caboose and
one other had left the track. These
two continued the wild flight, pass
ing through the Saltillo yards at
the rate of fully 12O miles an hour.
The train-dispatcher at Saltillo was
terror-stricken when he saw the
tram pass, as he knew they would
certainly crash into another double
header freight train that was pull
ing up the mountain, 20 miles be-
low Saltillo. There was no tele-
graph station within the 20 miles,
and no warning could be given the
crew of the train below. He did
the next best thing by having the
wrecking-car ordered out. The ca
boose and loaded car kept the track.
Frank Davis, the engineer ofsthe up
train, saw 1T coming down the
but too late to save him.
self. His fireman aud the crew of
the second engine jumped and re-
ceived but slight injuries. Davis
was buried under a pile of corn and |
debris. Both engines were conf
pletely dismantled.

THE DEADLY CYCLONE.
A Town in Illinois Totally Des-
troyed.

REDBUD, Ill, Nov. 1S.-Where
twenty-four hours since existed a
beautiful little town, full of happy
homes, is today scene OF wreck
and desolation, with houses, barns,
fences and orchards leveled to the
ground and spread over the sur
rounding country. At $3.50 yesterday
morning cyclone struck the town,
entering from the south. 1t first
demolished the Catholic church and
school and the residence of Herman
Drage. The German Lutheran
church was next leveled to the
ground. After destroying several
barns and bearing away all kind of
fences, it next attacked the two
story residence of Peter Kendall,
which Is solid stone, and crumbled
IL all to fragments. Mrs. Kendall
was severely injured.
The large double brick house oc-
cupied by d. d. Perry as dwelling,
office and composing room of the
Redbnd Democrat, was entirely de-
stroyed. The family were buried in
the ruins, but managed to extricate
themselves without serious injury.
Peterson's agricultural warehouse
was blown down and IA other resi-
dences destroyed. The 1l-year-old
son of Mrs. Jacob Koch was instan-
tly killed and his mother was fatal
ly injured. The others seriously in
jured are Mrs. Peter Harden, Mrs.
Louis Rogers, Julius Holm, Mr..
Heilman, Adden Starr, Miss Emma
Crow, Mrs. John Handerfeldt, Mr..

den, horse trainer, while on his way
home was held up by footpads just
north of the city limits. One man

cars followed down a steep embank-
ment. One man was killed, and
thirteen badly wounded, of whom

out through the top of the rear coach
and tagged the second section train
in time to prevent it from crashing
into the wreck. The dead and in
jured were taken to Peach Springs.

HOMESTEAD STRIKE.
Looking to Settlement of a Long
Protracted Struggle.

IlOUldCtCu 0uA u66iC'
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. 1S.-The
great strike that has continued five
months has reached u crisis. Off
clal action was taken yesterday to
decide whether II is policy to con-
tinue the struggle. Early yesterday
morning the national officers of the
amalgamated association returned
to Homestead, and held a
secret conference. Another confer
ence took place at o'clock yester-
day afternoon with members of the
amalgamated association. 1t is at
this time impossible to obtain any
expression of opinion from the
members of the advisory board; but
it seems certain the strike will be
declared of by the amalgamated
leaders. There yet remains strong
feeling among members of the
amalgamated association against
giving in, and they continue to
strongly oppose the idea of surren-
der. 1t is possible they will hold to
gether and fight it out. The me-
chanics and laborers will, however,
as a result of the conference, be re-
leased from their obligations of re-
naming out on strike with the
amalgamated men, and 1t will be
left to their own option about ac-
cepting employment at the mills,n no
matter how 1t may turn out. So far
az the mechanical department Is
concerned, the strike is over. APP
pllcations from old men for work
are pouring into the mill in unusual
numbers today. AS there are but
few vacancies to be filled, the men
are temporarily turned away.

several thousand insurgent Sarts fed
from the city and tried to cross the prov

were repulsed by the local troops. The
insurrection has spread to Ferghana, and
the position OF the Russians there Is crit

to cope with tho insurgents.
The governor general OF Turkestan re-
fuses to send endorsements to Ferg-
hama, as there are fears OF the security OF
Tashkend, where the Moslems threaten
to revolt. II has transpired that the
Tashkend riots were not due solely to
cholera, but were partly due to religious
excitement caused by orders from the
governor interfering with the rites in the
MOSQUES.
