able Property Is Destroyed.
 ATLANTA, April 7.-Aneastbound freight on the upper Central Hudson freight bridge broke in two and came together again last night, wrecking about 12 cars, among them being two oil tanks and a number of carloads of oil.
 The wreck caught fire, and the cars, as we'll as the Delaware & Hudson and the Central Hudson signal stations, were de stroyed.
 The fire was extinguished in about three hours. Traffic on both of the railroads was stopped.
 The loss will probably amount to more than $50, 900.

Many Of the older churches in En-
gland and Western Europe have jugs
or jars embedded in their walls, the
mouths opening into the interior
For a long time the openings were
supposed to be holes in the walls, but
a closer examination a number OF
years ago, on one or two of these old
buildings, disclosed the fact that the
openings were the necks of jugs.
Most of the old churches erected from
the eleventh to the seventeenth CEN

Nameless Hero.

A writer in the Cosmopolitan re-
cords an act of heroic self-forgetful-
ness performed by an unknown
Union soldier after the second battle
of Bull Run. The Northern. army
left many wounded men behind as
prisoners A day or two after the
battle Mr.. Tanner, well known since
as Corporal Tanner and five COM
rades were lying in little tent, the
six men having lost among them
seven legs. The victorious Confeder-
ates had next to nothing to eat, and
their wounded prisoners had if pos
sible, even less.
They were tortured by the intense
heat of the Virginia sun, by hunger,
by plague of flies, and above all by
thirst. The helpless cripples in the
tent were unattended by anyone, and
were moaning for water.
Just outside the door of the tent
lay a poor fellow with a dreadful,
and as it proved mortal wound in
his left side, an unkempt private
soldier, haggard and CHASTITY in his
bloody uniform.
Hearing those in the tent crying
for water, this mortally hurt man
outside, to whom every movement
must have been agony, dragged him
self on his hands and knees toward
some apple trees not far distant. A
few worm-eaten apples lay on the
ground, and these he thrust into the
pockets of his blouse. Then turning
on his unwounded side he dragged
himself back to the tent.
He passed the apples to Tanner,
who lay next to the entrance, and
the wounded men set their teeth
with ravenous eagerness in the acid
fruit; but when they turned to thank
their nameless benefactor it was toe
late, for the effort had opened his
wound and he was dead.

We can hardly use the word "par-

prevailing thought in this relation,

noble words are in their books that
"the first duty Of the parent is to in.

Yet the burden of the teaching was
that children owed everything tC

machine, these results of moral voting
will have one certain effect of enduring
benefit. Party organizations will have
to be brought up to higher standard III
method and in control. The leaders are
clever men usually, and while they Will
not listen to the arguments of "namby-
pamby theorists" theyare accustomed to
heed tangible results, and the fact that
when every other machine went to pieces,
Tammany stood solid, and gave dlmln-
ished but large majority for all party
candidates in their territory, the city of
New York, will be lesson which cannot
be mistaken or unstudied by all leaders
and organizers.
Croker, the Tammany "boss," long has
demonstrated with Mclaughlin. He
feared McKane, and he has opposed Hill,
Murphy and Sheehan in this State. He
refused at first to let Maynard run, and
consented only when the rest OF the
ticket was made as strong as he could
make it. He was the least surprised man
in the State when the returns came IN.
His principle of getting good men to
head all departments, and especially to
lead the ticket, had been disregarded.
When he had made every Other nominee
good man, he hoped Maynard could be
carried, but he feared it would be inn
possible, and before the election he said
privately that his hope was gone. He
did his best, but on Saturday night be
told his district leaders that the whole
ticket was in danger.
One of the most important results of
the election, therefore, will be the more
general, practical acceptance of Croker's
principles and methods. His system,
already described in a previous letter,
may be extended with his influence in
the State councils. and backed by an in
imical but encouraged body OF independ-
ents, the development of machine poll
tics will be advanced toward the perfec-
ton at which better men than Croker
can run it. For Croker's public service,
so far as it is for good. is as unintentional
as is the assistance given him by the
men who believe themselves his worst
enemies. The election returns, in their
local significance, are most instructive
and encouraging in their vindication and
probable advancement of this uncon-
scious cooperation of the men of best in
tentions and the weakest methods with
the men of most corrupt ends but the best
system. j. l.. STEFFENS.
