LONDON, Sept 16, 1So3-A frightful
accident occurred today on the Great
Western Railway. The scene Of the
twelve miles southeast of Bristol An
express train from Bristol to London,
while running at q high rate of spssd
through the tunnel, was derailed IN some
unknown manner. The coaches went
humping along over the ties. giving
the passengers. of whom many were
on the train. a fearful shaking mp.
AS the doors of English railway coaches
are always locked before train leaves a
station. it was impossible for the pas.
sengers to jump. They were panic
stricken and the semi darkness OF the
tunnel added to their terror.
THE COLLISION.
Suddenly, above the noise made By the
engine of the derailed train aud the graf
Ing aud grinding of the coaches, the
sound OF an approaching train was heard.
It was q passenger train bound for
Bristol and running very fast. It's driver
saw the obstruction on the tracks, but
before he could even perceptibly slacken
the speed OF his train it dashed In to the
derailed coaches, throwing them aside
and breaking them Rsunder, a. though
made of card board.
HORRIBLE seem Es.
The scene that snsued almost d defles
description. The hiss aud roar Of escap-
ing steam mingled with the shrieks Of
the injured and the groans OF the dying.
All the train lights were put cut by the
shock of the collision aud the dark .uu-
mel was 1lled with thick steam. It was
impossible to see any distance, and this
made more hideous the awful calamity.
AS soon as possible Information OF the
disaster was sent to Bath, aud a wreck
ng train with number of physicians on
board was hurried to the scene.
Upon its arrival at the tunnel the work
of removing the dead and caring for the
injured was begun. Many persons vol
unteered their assistance in searching
the wreck for those who had been killed
or injured, and the debris is being rapidly
cleared away.
CRUSHED TO JELLY.
It is not known how many were killed,
but the number Is believed to De large.
Some of the bodies were crushed aud
mangled beyond recognition. It appears
/ that many Of the passengers were thrown
against the side of the tunnel, where
their bodies were literally crushed ito a
| jelly by the tremendous weight OF the
engine and coaches pressing against
| them.
BEGGED TO BE KILLED.
Many rescued alive are 50 badly In

The physicians administered opiates to
some Of the injured to relieve them Of
the agony they were suffering.

Not only in war, but also in Compel
ing for the commerce of the world, and
especially OF the western hemisphere,
will the nation controlling the Nicara-
qua canal have an immense advantage.
No trade will flourish unless protected
by the strong arm of military power,
and no better example of this can be
cited than that of England. Where all
the great nations of the world meet in
the canal, and the nations through
whose territory 1t runs are so miserably
weak, the inevitable result will be that
it will fall into the hands of some great
power. If that power be ourselves, then
we may safely bid farewell to military

New Points In Spraying.

Professor Bailey points out some new
notions in spraying in American Garden
ing which are worth readiny and needing.
The first requi lite to Spraying is pruD-
ing, else the spray will not reach all
parts of the tree; hence it promotes
pruning. Labor is cheap when pruning
is done. 1t is expensive when spraying
IA done. Prune in February and March;
spray in May, June and July. Spraying,
too, must drive corn and other tall crops
from the orchard. And it will empha-
size the Importance of level culture.
Two important facts emphasized are
that for most fungous diseases the spray
should be applied before the flowers ap-
pear and that it pays to spray in a wet
season. Spraying in wet seasons has been
discouraged by those who ought to have
upheld it, for the wet season is the one
in which fungi spread most rapidly and
in which spraying is most needed. Pro-
fessor Bailey says that we must spray in
wet years, therefore, if in no other. and
the extra labor of more frequent appli-
cations is likely to be literally repaid by
the higher price of fruit in such years.
So all experience now emphasizes the
value of the arsenical and copper and
sulphur sprays for every year. There
should be no half heartedness, no timidi-
ty, no procrastination. Lukewarm ar
mics are never victorious

WHY WE SHOULD CONTROL THE
NICARAGUA CANAL.

In war or in peace the exclusive con-
troll of this canal will be to us of inesti-
mable value. For attacking or defend
ing the coasts of our hemisphere, and
the islands adjacent thereto, it is more
advantageously situated than in Gibral-
tar for the Mediterranean. As a means
of uniting the East and the West, it will
be Of more value than the Suez canal for
uniting England with India. The latter
saves but 5000 miles, while the Nicara-
qua canal saves $500 in the voyage from
the gulf ports to San Francisco.
If we are to continue our policy of
protecting the smaller states of the two
Americas against the larger ones, and
all of them against foreign encroach-
ment, we must control the canal. We
must also defend our own country. Our
Pacific coast is nearly defenceless. From
New York to San Francisco it is $4,000
miles by WATERFALL the circumference
of the globe. Between the same points
by the canal it is only 5000 miles. From
New Orleans to San Francisco it is 49,
500 miles. The canal will cut this dis
lance down to 1000 miles, still greater
