Another Account of the Wreck.

the coal trains between Roanoke and the
coal regions OF Pocahontas were tied up
Yesterday on account OF the accident that
occurred yesterday morning about 6
o'clock.
on this side OF Flat Top tunnel the cab
of an engine which was coupled TO
freight train was discovered to be on fire.
The flames became unmanageable and the
engineer and fireman had to abandon the
engine.
The burning engine rushed along on
its journey and finally plunged into the
rear end OF a train which was just going
into the tunnel. completely wrecking the
cabin car and one freight car. which was
loaded with coke.
The mass of debris in the tunnel was
ignited by the burning engine and burned
the entire day. the coke making a very
hot fire and rendering II almost impossi-
bic for the workmen to get near the
scene. heavy stream OF water was
turned on and the work OF track clearing
begun. BY o'clock in the evening the
track was cleared and trains were NOV
ing along without hitch.

EGYPT AND UGANDA.
Mr.. Labouchcre Makes n Most Interesting
Speech In Parliament.

LONDON. Feb. BIN the House Of Com
mons to-day the debate on the address pro-
ceeded mOnotOnOusly until Henry Labon-
chere proposed an amendment In favor or
Withdrawing entirely from Uganda Mr..
Laboucheres speech, however, disappointed
the opposition, who had expected heavy
attack on the Government policy in East and
North Africa. In fact, the speech was OF
the nature OF n friendly remonstrance with
Ministers for not having cut loose at once
from the responsibility inherited from the
Conservatives.
After an academic discussion lasting for
three hours. the House OF Lords assented
10 the Queens address without division.
Mr. Labouchere. addressing himself
first to the Egyptian question, recognized
the fact, he said. that the action OF the
Government In Egypt had been necessary
often TO maintain the law, but
he felt that now the sooner
the occupation ceased the better
it would be for all concerned, as the
Khediye and his people were unaltera5ly
opposed to the British regime. He hoped
that the Government would treat with
France in a friendly spirit on questions
concerned in the withdrawal. II would
be a disgrace to the great Liberal party
If they went out OF office without having
fulfilled their pledges to leave Egypt.
Referring TO the understanding that
Lord Salisbury assured Italy of British
support in case OF war between Italy
and France. Mr. Labouchere requested
the prime minister 20 state that his Gov
eminent was in nowise responsible II
Italy. in consequence Of her membership
of the Triple Alliance, went TO war with
France In that case Italy must be left
to fight her own battles. liberal cheers.)
Recurring TO the subject OF Uganda Mr.
Labouchere ridiculed the professions Of
the East African Company to a mission
OF civilization. The prospectus Of the
company, with It's mingling OF trade and
philanthropy. smacked of humbug such
as Horatio Bottomley, of the Hansard
Union, might have put his name TO. The
real power of the company lay In the
spirit of jingoism behind IT, He would
warn the House that II this sort Of thing
continued, the British Empire would go
TO pieces like an over-fllled balloon.
Ironical laughter greeted this state
ment. but raising his voice Mr.. La
bouchere proceeded without pause 10 his
final statement. that as a practical man.

certain important observations made from
data acquired by a comparison OF the result
of preliminary practice with the results CO.
talncd during the present experiments. In
the preliminary practice range curves had
been calculated from valve settings. In the
test shots were plotted not only from valve
setting, but by the loss OF pressure In the

either Of these gave n complete system OF

"reminiscences of January.

WALKERTON. VA. Feb. Especial
January has come and gone, but not the
ice. II was one Of the coolest and most
terrible months that our Oldest inhabl-
tants ever remembered. There were six
SHOWS and only two rains. The ground
was covered with snow for over three
weeks. and 1t was bitter cold, but
sleighing was much enjoyed by the oid
as well as the young. The Mattaponi
river here was frozen over. and persons
walked across for weeks, but the ice is
fast going out. The steamer Elm City
could not leave to-day on account Of the
ice. She has been ice-bound all the year
so far, but expects to make her regular
trip on Tuesday, weather permitting.
