a fast express going north met a freight
going south on a double curve. The
door of one of the freight cars was loose
and fell on the north bound track di-
rectly III front Of the flying express en-
CINE. The huge machine was thrown
high in air. and general smash of the
passenger train followed Two persons
were mOrtally hurt and IL others pain
fully.
Unless you read the dispatches that
tell Of accidents regularly YOU cannot
have any adequate idea Of the horribly
curious ways IN which death may come.
Nearly every one Will remember, how
ever. the singular death Of a Brooklyn
clergyman a few years ago. One of his
children was ailing and the father
wished to administer a dose of medicine.
He took the cork out of the bottle and
held it between his teeth. Then, in or
der to amuse the little one, he threw
his head back and laughed, drawing the
cork into his throat and choking. Sur
gical aid was summoned at once, but the
cork could not be removed, and after
two or three days of the most intense
suffering the minister died.
More singular still was the fate of
Mrs Anna Beatty of Milwaukee in
1890 A fly of the blue bottle variety got
difficulty, leaving a strange itching
She supposed it would shortly disap-
pear, but it persisted, and the next day
her nose and throat were badly swollen
A doctor was called, and he discovered
that her nose and throat We're infested
with maggots. The fly had laid its eggs
in the poor woman s nasal passages. She
died after about two weeks of awful tor
ture, as it was found impossible to do
anything for her.
Jonathan Mackey of Monmouth, Ills,
met death few years ago in quite as
unusual though not SO painful a man
ner. He was seated on the iron seat of
combined thrashing and traction engine,
steering the unwieldy machine over
rough road, when one wheel ran into q
deep rut. The jar detached a chain belt,
and it flew upward, striking him in
the head, and killed him instantly
Near Akron, O., Farmer Barnes caus-
ed a hiding burglar to come to his death
IN a most singular and unexpected man
ner in 1891 The farmer went to his
barn to do the evening chores and
noticed a movement in the hay in the
NOW. Skunks had recently troubled
him a good deal, and he jumped to the
conclusion that the movement was
caused by one of those odoriferous ami
mas % ne &IdDD6u his P4bCuAOAA eHN
stealthily got close enough to jam the
implement into the hay where the skunk
was supposed to be. The tines struck
something solid and stuck. Pushing the
hay aside, the farmer found that he had
struck a negro, and that one of the
tines had passed Into the head just be-
low the left eye. Inconsistencies fol-
lowed shortly and then death. Later the
negro was found to be one who had
broken into several Akron houses and
had been pursued by the Akron polics
the night before his death.

Incident Showing That Death Comes In
the Most Singular Ways

CHICAGO, Oct 11.=Twice within the
past ten days has the telegraph told OF
death caused by unprecedented acct
dents The first occurred in the state OF
New York on a railroad leading from
Buffalo A freight car in the middle Of
a moving train was derailed, but as the
track was straight it bumped along on
the ties for a mile or more, and no one
noticed It. When the first crrve came,
however, it plunged to the lett Unfor-
tunately at that moment another freight
train was passing on the opposite track
in the opposite direction, and the lung
ing car struck the locomotive cab and
killed the fir eman. The other singular
and fatal accident occurred in New Jer-
sey, where a bicyclist eollided with
carriage at night, and the handle bar OF
his machine was driven into his abdO-
men. causing almost instant death
Although the first accident was IN
precedented, so far as 1 have been able
to learn, rail casualties somewhat SINH
lar have occurred several times. the
most serious being on the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore railroad a
little south Of Northeast. Nd, on Oct

They Wanted to Get Revenge on a School
 Teacher Who Had Helped Whip Them.
 Peabody, Mass, Dec. 20-Kenneth Belmer and Chester Palmer, thirteen year-old boys, were in court this morn- ing, charged with attempted train wrecking at Lynnfeld, on the Boston and Maine road several weeks ago. Four fish plates were found tightly wedged into a switch in such manner that trackmen say they would have derailed a train if they had not been discovered in time. They were found and removed just before train was due.
 Young Belmer confessed to the at- tempt to throw the train from the track and duplicates the Palmer boy. He said his object was to try and kill a woman school teacher of Lynnfield, who had assisted another teacher in whipping the boys, and who rides daily to her home in Wakefield by a train. Belmer says that he and the Palmer boy, after talking the matter over, went up the track and drove the fish plates between the rails. They then went tc their homes nearby and listened fol the crash, which did not come. The teacher was not in the train that was endangered, but in one following il some ten minutes later. 2 Young Belmer came here with hi: parents from New Jersey about three l months ago.

BILL WAS NOT APPROVED.
CITY FINANCIERs FAIL TO PAT DEPUTY HARBOR RMASTER'sB BILL.

Vote on Its Approval Resulted in Tic
 Throe Harbor Commissioners Were Pres
 ent-weekly Payrolis of City Depart
 nents Approved-Othsr Business.
 At the regular weekly meeting Of the city financiers yesterday afternoon all were present and Mayor Sargent pre- sided. In addition to the members of the board of finance there were also present Thomas R. Trowbridge Cap tain Charles H. Townshend and Curtis r. Evarts, all members of the board Of harbor commissioners. Those gentle men were present in reference to a bill of s25 for telephone service which the members of the board of finance refus- cd to approve at its last meeting.
 The discussion of this bill proved the main feature of the meeting. The bill is for the rental of & telephone in the house of Captain E. s. Dove. deputy harbor master. The claim has been made by the city financiers that the office of deputy harbor master Is state office, and that under these circum- stances the state and not the city should be called upon to pay the bills.
 At the meeting yesterday afternoon Mayor Sargent claimed that Captain Dove held a state office, that he had been appointed by the governor and that he had filed a bond with the state. Under these circumstances he said he was unable to see any good or sufti- cient reason for the bill being turned in against the city.
 In reply Captain Townshend said that the harboC commissioners were partly composed of city officials, and the dep- uty harbor master was in their employ. In view of these circumstances 1t was his opinion and that of the other mem- bers of the harbor commission that the bill should be paid by the city.
 The members of the board of finance Discussed the question of the Dill at considerable length, and finally a vote On the subject was called for. Alder man Foley and the mayor held to the opinion that the bill ought to be paid by the state, while Councilman Parish and Alderman Gallagher thought the city should pay the bill. In view Of this the vote resulted in tie, and for the third time this particular bill was tabled. The present board of finance will hold but one more meeting, and consequently at that meeting, next Thursday, some decisive action will have to be taken upon the bill.
 The regular weekly bills of the sev- eral departments of the city govern ment were next taken up, and after slight discussion unanimously approv- ed. The bills presented and approved by the city financiers were as follows: Board of public works $1,219.12, fire de- partment s1,75s.64, police $2,9S596, and health STA.
