-Four Persons Killed and q Dozen Others
Injured.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-The southern
express on the Pennsylvania road this
morning collided with an accommoda-
ton train in West Philadelphia. Three
cars Of the accommodation train were
wrecked. Four people were killed and
~ injured. The rumor quickly spread
that it was President Harrison's
epeclaI, but this proved untrue
as the special had already
reached the navy yard. Those
killed were in the last car of the
accommodation train, which was CROSS
ing the track of the southern express,
and was hit full in the middle by the en-
CINE of that train, which smashed it to
pieces. The passengers on the express
train were injured.
The accident was due to the slippery
condition of the tracks, making It inn
possible for the engineer of the express
TO control the train, The killed are Mr..
and Mrs. E. L. Miner, Media; Mary
Reid, Media; Rev. James Walker, Lem
uox.
1t now appears that the presidents
train was behind the express, and was
delayed half an hour.
Several other names are added to the
list Of injured, but their hurts are not
serious. Half dozen others whose
names could not be learned had their
injuries dressed at the hospital and then
departed.

CUDAHY'S CALIFORNIA PLANS,
A Rehash of Investments at
Los Angeles.
The Hog Industry About to Be Given

Coast News.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-Within the
past three weeks Michael Cudahy, the
former business partner of P. D. Ar.
mour, has been visiting in California
and on the 14th inst. left this city fol
Chicago, after having arranged for the
establishment of large packing houses
on land purchased by him known as the
Nsdeau vineyard rancho. The tract Of
land mentioned, and which is to be
turned into stocL yards, is situated
just below the southern limit of the
city of Los Angeles. The area is about
277o acres and was purchased by Mr..
Cudahy for $4,000.
Before deciding to purchase the land
Mr.. Cudahy visited different portions
of the state, searching for a suitable
site. He visited the packing establish
ments at Rodeo and Baden, and it is
said that he expressed some surprise at
the amount of money that had already
been invested. Evidently satisfied that
Northern California was supplied with
sufficient packing establishments and
stock yards, southern trip was made
with the result mentioned.
From Los Angeles Mr.. Oudahy trav-
eled as far as San Diego, and consulted
with many people concerning the ques-
ton of raising hogs. Land owners were
informed that all hogs raised by them
would find ready market at his stock
yards, and from information obtained,
the belief is that the business of raising
hogs will be largely entered into. The
packing houses and stock yards are q
distance of not much over 500 miles from
the cattle ranch of Mr.. Cadahy in Ari-
IONA, and when there is scarcity of
hogs, cattle can be shipped to the Los
Angeles establishment.
While in California the Chicago pack
or had very little to do with newspaper
men, and he was not inclined to impart
much information. He had transacted
the business that he came for and was
particularly anxious to reach Chicago,
Before leaving, however, several cor
tracts for the erection of some of thu
smaller buildings were let, and work will
shortly be commenced.
THE readers of the HERALD have been
kept informed of Mr.. Cudahy's transac-
tions here through the local columns, 30
the above dispatch is not strictly news !;
still it is such good news to Angelefios
that it will bear repeating.-ED.]

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 22.-Two schooners
from this port have been seized by the
Mexican customs officer at San Quintin,
and are held there pending investiga-

engaged in fishing and abalone catching
in Mexican waters, in which case they
will undoubtedly be confscated. Two
more schooners were suspected and steps
taken for their apprehension. Four
schooners from this port are known to
be in those waters. The Mexican Off

Greeks and Romans reveled in roses; they
were used lavishly at their feasts. In The

blooms, and the Spartan soldiers, after the
ERttle of Cifrha, refused to drink any
wine that was not perfuped with roses

A WISE OLD TOAD.
An Interesting Account of a Famous
Toad which WA a Great Pat

An Interesting Account of a Famous
Toad winch wAs Great Pet.
Among all the stories which are told OF
toads none Is more remarkable perhaps
than that Of toad which lived for more
than thirtySsix years In hole Beneath the
doorstep Of French farmhouse.
How old it was when first noticed no one
could say, but it he'd probably lived a long
time before Familiarity with the sight OF
man emboldened 1t to rest TRANQUILITY on
the doorstep, over which persons were con-
stantly passing.
The step became the batrachisn's ohunt-
ing grotnd," where, with little tronble it
might capture the ants which persisted 10
crossing and recressin9 the step. The toad
'hunting for its supper" came TO be re-
garded as one Of the sights of tEe neigh
borhood, and certainly the skillful manner
In which it used its wonderfully formed
tongue entitled Tito be ranked as en- expert.
For one thing it showed wonderful Skill
in Judging distances; the tongne was never
darted out until the insect came within a
certain range. The accuracy of the crea-
lures aim was another matter for surprise.
The Insects were generally in motion when
the tongue was darted out against them,
but the arrow never failed to hit.
The rapidity with which the tongue was
shot forth excited much wonder. The
operation is a complex one The tongue is
doubled or folded up when in the mouth,
therefore twofold action is required--an
uncoiling Of tho weapon and then the dart
ing of It forth.
The withdrawing Of The tongue, with the
captured insect on the tip was not less re.
tnarkable. Notwithstanding the rapid mo-
ton, the finenrss Of the tongue tip and the
struggles Of the prey, the victim was never
dropped.
The toad WAS so tame shat it might Just
ly be called "domestt cated." It wotldre-.
main quietly in one hand and take its, food
from the other, provided a leaf were placed
on the hand which held It. Without this
precaution the warmth Of the human skin
was evidently annoying.
Few things seemed to pleaseitmore than
to be placed on table I'd the evening when
the lamp was lighted. 1t would look
around with the GREATEST confidence IN its
cleaning eyes, and when insects were
placed on the table It snapped them MP
with even greater rapddity than in Its day
huntfngs.
In this way tl,etoad lived for thirty-six
years the pet Of the neighborhood. 1t
might have lived mary years more had
not tame but spitetul raven pecked out
one Of it's eyss.
The bird Brought upon himself universal
hatred for thie assault, but sympathy was
no profit to The poor toad. He could no
longer measure distances accurately or
aim with certainty, and he died in about a
year after bis injury, apparently from
starvation. Youths Companion

jumped. The trains came together and
the stock train started backward with
