A Castle Goes Begging.

Hedingham castle, with its 2000
acres of land in the Colne valley, was
offered for sale at the mart. The
most interesting feature of the prop
erty is the magnificent Norman keep,
an almost perfect specimen. Queen
Matilda, wife of King Stephen, is re-
ported to have died in the castle,
which was the stronghold of the Earls
of Oxford from the conquest, and in
the reign of King John it sustained
two sieges. Unfortunately not all
the historical associations combined
could call forth single bid,. and it
had to be withdrawn.-London Tele-

People Who Dot Whistle.

Arabia must be a haven for those
whose lives are made burden to
them by the whistler. The Arab
maintains that a whistler's mouth
cannot be purified for 40 days and
nights, and they assert of the whistler
that satan has touched his body and
caused him to produce the offensive
sound. Then there are the natives Of
the Tonga islands, Polynesia, who
hold that it is a sin to whistle, as it
is an act disrespectful to God. Even
in some districts in north Germany

angels weep.

FATAL RAILROAD sMAsHUP.
Two Trains Collide and About Forty Are
Killed and Number Injured.

Killed and a Number Injured.
BATTLE CREEK, (Mich.), Oct. 90
A frightful wreck and holocaust oc-
Cured early this morning on the
Grand Trunk road, in which twenty
five to fifty persons lost their lives
and score were MANNED.
The eastbound special train loaded
with returning Worlds fair passen-
gers came in collision head on with
the westbound passenger, scausing
most disastrous smashup. The wreck
took fire and many of the wounded
who were pinned beneath broken
timbers and twisted iron were burned
to death.
The responsibility for the accident
is said to rest with Conductor Scott
and Engineer Woolley of the east
bound train, who disobeyed orders by
not stopping at Nicholsto let the west
bound pass.
Twenty four dead bodies have al
ready been taken from the ruins, all
terribly burned and unacceptable.
Those killed, as far as known, are all
Eastern people. Three coaches of
the eastbound train were burned
completely up. 1t is supposed that
fully as many are still in the wreck
as have been taken out, and there are
forty severely ifnot fatally injured.
The eastbound train, in which the
loss OF life was SO firightful, was
Raymond & Whitecomb excursion
returning from Chicago loaded with
passengers from New York and Bos-
ton.
The loss of life was in the west
bound train, and not the east bound
special as at first reported.
Both engines and the baggage car
of the eastbouud train were badly
wrecked, but the rest of the east
bound, being made up of sleepers,
withstood the shock and nobody in
them was hurt.
The westbound train was made up
of thirteen day coaches, four of which
completely telescoped each her,and
it was here that the most frightful
scenes were witnessed, as the cars at
once caught fire from the lamps and
were consumed. The trainmen saved
themselves by jumping. except Con-
ductor Burke of the westbound train,
who was caught between the cars and
badly hurt.
Most of the deaths occurred in one
car, which was telescoped by those in
front and behind it in such way as
to pen the passengers in like rats in
a trap. The accident was mile from
the fire station, and before water
could be turned on and the firemen
get to work the cars were consumed.
Twenty five bodies were taken from
this car alone as soon as the fire was
out, and nearly all had their heads,
arms or legs burned off and were un-
recognizable. They were mostly piled
in one end of the car, where they
were showed by the telescoping of the
cars. Only eight or ten persons es-
capped from this car.
A most horrible sight was that of
Mrs. Charles Van Duzen of Fort
Plains, N. Y, who got half way out
of widow, but her legs were so fast
ened that those who ran to her assist
ance could not rescue her and she
burned to death before their eyes.
