BURNING OF THE BAGGAGE-CAR

car turned endwise and rolled down the
hill. The second car, combination
coach, carrying the baggage of the
theatrical company, stayed right where
it was on the track, not even leaving the
ties. The smoking car fell on its
side and started down the hill.
Three times the car turned COM
pletely over. The brakeman was
fixing the fire at the time the car left the
tracks, and, the stovc-door being open.
the live Goals flew everywhere among
the many passengers. The car was set
on fire in many places, and the flames
burned the frightened occupants. The
car was not broken much, however, and
all those in the ear escaped by breaking
through the windows before any were
fatally burned. Some painful bruises
resulted, however, to the people in the
car, as they were thrown from floor to
ceiling and from ceiling to floor with
each turn it made. The car was con-
sumed by the flames after all the pas
sengers had gotten out.
Next to the smoker was the ladies' car,
and in it the greatest mischief was done.
AS it started to roll down the steep de-
cline, as the smoker had done before it,
it found harder road to travel. Direct
ly in it path was the broken, jagged
stump of tree. The side of the car
struck this with terrific force, and the
sharp, firmly set timber piercing the side
instantly killed Nine. Van Rokey and
Ben Hamburg. Both victims were
mangled in a frightful way and what
was left of the drummer was partly car

ArmOl Ing Of Ships.

The limit in the heaviness of armor
applied to ships may perhaps have
been reached, and it seems natural
that, its development having run a
course much like that OF the armor
Of men, may come eventually to a
similar end. In the middle ages,
when gunpOwer was first introduced.
the armOr OF knights and men at
arms was gradually increased in
weight to meet the new weapons. As
the quality OF powder and the guns
improved armor was added to until it
reached point where if a knight
was unhOrsed it required several
squires to get him into the saddle
again, or if a man fell he could not
pick himself up unaided. The next
step was to limit the armor to the
more vital portions, retaining only
the cuirass and helmet. Finally even
these were thrown away. Somewhat
similar may be the transition in
modern navies. The guns having
beaten the armor, ships may have to
discard their coats of mail and rely
upon Offense as the best protection,
just as intelligent pugilists defend
themselves by the counter rather than
by the simple guard.
The farmers' union. (Memphis, Mo.) 1891-1895, 1892-01-21

ried away in basket and the rest
brought on a stretcher.
The other occupants Of the car were
just realizing that something awful had
happened and to feel their own injuries
when the car came to q stop against a
large sycamore. A moment later dowu
came the last car, heavy Pullman
coach, with an awful crash, settling
down almost squarely on the ladies' car,
