When n second search of the debris
was made and it was certain that no
bodies reamined the freight car was
backed down to the city depot, the
charred remains transferred to an IN
dertaker's; q wrecking crew set to
work, the debris again sorted and
afterwards burnt, and there is nothing
in the railroad yards but heap OF
ashes to tell the story of one of the
most awful holocausts in the history
OF the railroad.

compelled to witness and helpless to
relieve.
No pen can describe the last mo-
ments of Mrs. Charles Van Dusen. She
had succeeded in getting herself out OF
the window, but her limbs were PIN
ioned by the heavy framework of the
seat she had been occupying with her
husband. Thus held, roasting and
burning from the feet up, she pleaded
and begged for the help that those out
side were powerless to give. Despite
her terrible agony she retained con-
sciousness to the last, and as the flames
crept up and surrounded her she called
out her name and that of friends to be
notified.
Il am a teacher in the Methodist
Sunday-school at Sprout Brook, n.
"" she cried. Say die like Chris
tian."
Then the side of the car gave way
and she fell back into the flames.
Her husband had meanwhile been
rescued from the next car into which
he had been driven by the force of the
collision. Both limbs were fractured
and he had also received internal in
juries. He retained consciousness un-
til his death, but was kept in igno-
rance of the fate of his wife. In his
last breath he asked Rev. George B.
Kulp to send his love to his two chill
dren that he had left at home and also
to give them his watch. He was Al
years old and deacon in the Metho-
dist church of his native village.

hat liedgepeth. the train robber, will
secure a new trial.
Hedgepeth was found guilty OF train robbery
and sentenced to twenty-five years in the pcni-
tentiary. He was his own attorney the attor
neys who had been defending him stating that
they could not be present The principal
witness against Hedsepeth was Joseph Fur
ling. four courts attorney. VINO testitel that
Hedgepeth had stated to him that he would
plead guilty IL Furling would get him a SEN
tence OF ten or fifteen years. and that the lat
Ter went to the police authorities and endeav-
ored to make arrangements and failed. The
Revised Statutes Of 1899 section S9sJ. provides
among other things. that attorney shall be
an incompetent witness to testify concerning
any communication made to him by his client
In that relation. or his advice thereon without
the consent Of such client In the case of
Cross ct al. rs. higgins. reported in the 80
Mo Rep. Judge Bliss held that the term
client as used in the statute should
lie understood in its most enlarged sense.
and the prohibition should close the
looking to professional aid: that the rule
which excludes Testimony of professional COM
municntions etween attorneys and clients is
broad enough to embrace case where the one
scekirg ounsel pays no fee. does not employ
the attorney. but employs others in the prose-
cution Of the business. This was Kansas
City case Plaintiff met attorney named
Douglas on the street. stated some OF the facts
in the case and asked him his opinion. which he
said he could not give without consulting his
hooks. He was never employed or paid any
fee. and nothing more passed between them in
reference to the matter. Douglas. being after
wards called TO testify to the conver-
sation. his evidence was excluded on the
ground that he would be divulying privilcg ed
communications. and on appeal the supreme
court affirmed this ruling.
1t would seem that the prosecution
walked deliberately into a trap set by
the defense.

Before q Small Audience.

WASHINGTON. Aug. IA. - Before a
small audience of both members and
spectators, the silver debate was re-
sumed at II o'clock and Mr.. Wheeler of
Alabama. continued his speech. Mr..
Morse OF Massachusetts,, followed Mr..
Wheeler. He gave his heartily approval
to the views o. the president relative to
the repeal of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman pill. but he believed that the
present business depression was not to be
attributed entirely TO the Sherman bill.
It came from the threat of the Demo-
Gratis to pass tariff legislation.
Mr.. Harter of Ohio, in speaking in
favor of the repeal proposition, likened
Uncle Sam to man in the last stages
of alcoholism. A drunken man taken
TO- an emergency hospital would receive
treatment by doctors who would agree,
but Uncle Sans doctors did not seem
to agree in the diagnosis.
Mr.. Harter was followed by Mr.. Hen
dirk of New York, who advised con-
gress to repeal the Sherman law, to ad-
journ and TO go home.
