stipulated in his bid that 81 additional

Special to the REcoRD-UNIoS.

CLEVELAND Ohio, Sept. q. = What
will undoubtedly prove the most dis
astrous accident in the history of the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railway took place this morning early
near Shreve. A fast east-bound express
train collided with west-bound freight,
both running at full speed. The collision
occurred on a sharp curve, and in a cut
where neither crew was able to see the
other train approaching.
Immediately after the crash flames
burst forth, and it is believed but two or
three persons were killed outright, the
others having been pinned down and
slowly roasted to death.
Thirteen burned and blackened trunks
were taken from the wreck. They were
those of George Smith, Fireman, Crest
line; d. E. Reese, Postal Clerk, Massillon;
III. S. Allen, Postal Clerk, Columbiana;
G. c. Mann, Postal Clerk, Chicago; j. D.
Patterson, Postal Clerk, Beaver Falls,
Pa; A. d. Glenn, Brakeman, Allegheny;
n. Hammond, Fireman, Allegheny:
Samuel Jackson, Expressman, Chicago:
and five unidentified bodies, including
those of lady and child. Some of these
unidentified were bound for Alliance, o.,
and others for Espeyville, Pa.
The seriously injured are: Frank Burt.
Crestline, engineer of express train;
James Ady, Sandusky, passenger; G.
Stoker, Pittsburg, Pa; D. o. Rhodes,
Mahonington, Pa; w. II. Brown, Hunt
ington, Ind; L. Koch, Massillon, o.: NJ.
Armstrong, Noblesville, Ind; j. E. Earn
est, Millville, n. J.
Two postal cars, filed with through
mail, one express car and three freight
cars were consumed by fire.
This afternoon $4,000 in silver bricks
were taken from beneath the mass of
iron and cinders. Some OF the silver was
melted.
A temporary track has been built
around the wreck and travel partially re-
sumed.
The wreck was a terrible one, and with
the exception of three Pullman cars the
passenger train was shapeless mass.
AS soon as the people of Shreve heard
OF the wreck many of them FASTENED to
the scene with local physicians, and tried
to extinguish the flames and rescue the
unfortunates in the day coaches. The
fire had gained too great Roadway, how
ever, and little could be done. Those
that persisted were pinned down by the
timbers and the people outside had to
stand back while the helpless victims
burned slowly to death.
The fireman of the freight train had
horrible death, as he was caught in the
cab and his frighfully burned body
dangled in the air in view of hundreds
who visited the scene, the wreckers being
unable to get at it because of the heat.

THESE ARE BOSTON GIRLS.
They Resemble Diana's Huntresses, Ac-
cording to Very Good Judges.

Any one who thinks that physical
development and training are likely to
make girls "masculine" will do well to
ask to be admitted to the normal
school of gymnastics at a time when
the young ladies are at their work, says
the transcript. The Listener saw soms
hundred of them the other day (there
seemed as many as hundred, though
he did not count them), and he per-
ceiwed nothing masculine about them
except their Instructor, who was a man,
and one student, who was a man, too.
In the gallery there were two young
gentlemen as spectators; and when,
during a recess, the girl students were
amusing themselves in all sorts of
ways, and making calls upon one
another, running laughingly hand in
hand as they did so, one of these young
men remarked, "Not much like boys,
eh?" and the other said, "Not much!"
And yet some of their exercises were
not unworthy of the strength and sup
pleness of man. One thing that par
ticularly pleased the Listener was the
class running. The girls ran several
times around the hall, like Diana's
huntresses, gracefully and beautifully.
One might have supposed that skirts,
stays and generations of indoor stupor
had put an end forever to the ability
of women to run swiftly and grace
fully, but it is apparent that this art,
as well as many other beautiful
athletic things, was only dormant. A
little following of nature brings it all
back. There are many movements in
the Swedish system of physical train
ing which are not beautiful in them
selves, but it is explained that they
are merely means to an end, and are
practiced for the sake of the reactions
they produce upon the system.

DIAMETER OF A THUNDERBoLT.
Curious Points About the FuIgurite, Some-
times Known as Lightning Holes.

"Did you ever see the diameter of a
lightning flash measured?" asked a
geologist. "Well, here is the case
which once inclosed flash of light
ming, fitting it exactly, so that YOU
can just see how big it was This is
called 'fugurite, or lightning hole. ,
and the material it is made of is glass.
1 will tell you how it was manufac-
tured, though it took only fraction
of second to turn it out. When a
bolt of lightning strikes bed of sand
it plunges downward into the sand a
distance, less or greater, into glass the
silica in the material through which it
passes. Thus, by its great heat, it
forms at once glass tube of precicely
its own size. Now and then such a
tube, known as 'fulgurite, is found
and dug up. Fulgurites have been
followed into the sand by excavations
for nearly thirty feet. They vary in
interior diameter from the size of a
quill of three inches or more, accord
ing to the bore of the flash. But full
they are found also in solid rocks,
though very naturally of slight depth,
and frequently existing merely as a
1H1H CLASSY COdGluS Oh bn0 surface.
Such fulgurites occur in astonishing
abundance on the summit of Little
Ararat in Armenia. The rock is so
soft and so porous that blocks a foot
long can be obtained, perforated in all
directions by little tubes filled with
bottls-green glass formed from the
fused rock.
"There is small specimen in the
National museum which has the ap-
pearance of having been bored by the
torpedo, the holes made by the worm
subsequently filled with glass. l may
add that Charles Darwin mentions
these fulgurites in his book of travels,
and Humboldt found some on the high
Nevada de Zoluca, in Mexico, Hum
boldt ascended this preeipitous peak
at the risk of his life, !"

STOPPING A RAILROAD TRAIN.
The Daredevil Feat of Foolish Girl in
New Jersey.

A quite thrilling incident occurred
on the straight stretch of line of the
New York & New Jersey railroad, be-
tween Woodbridge and Carlstadt. AS
a passenger train was proceeding at
full speed a 16-year-old girl left her
half-dozen companions in the roadway
that runs near the track and stepped
quickly in front of the locomotive,
which was not more than 800 feet
away. She was laughing defantly,
facing the locomotive, standing fairly
between the rails, and the engineer
knew that she was bent upon mischief
and not upon suicide. He made the
passengers jump on their seats with
the blood-curdling whistle that he sent
out of his engine, but the girl between
the rails snapped her fingers and
danced derisively. The engineer had
to stop the train or run over her. OF
the two evils he choose the one he sup
posed to be the least His fireman did
not agree with him, but there was no
time to argue the point. When the
locomotive was brought to standstill
it's pilot was hardly five feet from the
girls skirts.
81 told them you'd have to STOP" she
said; al knew you daren't run over
me-" Then she laughed and ran after
her companions, leaving the engineer
and his fireman to make up for lost
time.
The writer, says the Troy Times, was
witness to peculiar accident on the
Erie railroad several years ago, except
that the foolhardy performer was big
male loafer, who stood before the ap-
preaching engine fiourishing his fists
deiantly at the engineer and placing
his thumb to his nose in derision. The
engine did not stop, but came up slow
ly, and a Jet of steam struck the big
fellow squarely in the face. He sprang
to one side as though shot, and as he
did SO he encountered another jet from
the side of the engine SO overwhelming
that he fell to the ground. But, Of
course, no gentlemanly engineer would
play such joke on saucy and foolish
young woman.

Pulsations and Power of the Heart.

The workings of the human heart
have been computed by celebrated
psychologist, and he has demonstrated
that it is equal to the lifting of 12O
tons in twenty-four hours. Presum-
ing that the blood is thrown out of the
heart at each pulsation in the proper
ton OF sixty-nine strokes per minute
and at the assumed force of nine feet,
the mileage of the blood through the
body might be taken at 207 yards per
minute, I miles per hour, 168 miles

How to Make Pig Raising Paw.

The profit in hog raising comes
largely by management. If he can
have a nice fresh pasture in summer
with fresh drinking water always ac-
cessible, a small ration of grain and is
kept free from worms he will be thrifty
and make a good frame on which to
build the hog of commerce at small
cost and will not be liable to disease.
He should have salt and wood ashes or
salt and lime mixed to correct his d.
gestion; this is particularly necessary
when he is put into the fattening pen.
He should also have charcoal. 1t alone
is a better medicine and conditioner
than any III the market that does not
contain it. If out of condition or sick
or wormy, the medicated charcoal pow
ders for hogs will give speedy relief if
taken in reasonable time. The better
plan is to give an occasional dose as a
corrective and conditioner. Prevent.
ives are better than cures and are much
the cheaper and safer plan.-W. D.
