Special to the Indis.apolis Journal
ELKHART, Ind, Aug. 15.-Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Hitesmsp. a wel-known aged cou-
pie Of this city, have been singularly un-
fortunate with their children. Seventy
years ago their son John was burned to
death. In 1888. while returning from a
dance, Edward jumped from train at a
crossing and was SO badly injured that he
died in a few hours later. In 1889 William
George was blown into the tops of some
trees by the explosion of rotator in the
combination board mill here, being confined
to his bed for a year and rendered a Grip
pie for life. Yesterday Asa, the remaining
son. fell forty feet from tree and cannot
live.

Cation Belt Trains w

PINE BLUFF. Ark, Aug. ews has
just reached here of the wreck assenger
train No. 4, north-bound CottL-- Belt. due
here at 1:30 tomorrow morning. AS usual,
the railroad people are mum on the sub
ject, and but meagre details are obtainable.
The wreck was caused by an open switch at
Stamps, Ark, thirty-four miles north Of
Texarkana. The engine and baggage car
were ditched. IT is known engineer Eighme
and fireman Dean are severely injured, pos
sibly fatally. From the fact that the P.-l-
man conductor was also injured 1t is quite
likely that the entire train was derailed.
The switch was doubtless left open by the
switchmen on the freight whica left going
south before the passenger train arrived.

TURNING THE B /
Now 1t Is the Men Who Are Occupyin

Now 1t L. the Men Who Are Occupying
Places Once Filled by Women.
An inquiry into the cause or causes of
the decline of the wages of women in
New York has brought out the state
ment that one of the principal reasons
for the decrease is that men are en-
croaching OF fields heretofore occupied
exclusively by women. For example,
men are applying for, and, it appears,
obtaining, employment in such occupa-
tions as the manufacture Of hats, caps,
suspenders, dressmaking, cloakmaking,
laundry work and similar occupations.
The men who thus compete with wo-
men are Poles, Hungarians and Italians,
and they work for lower wages than the
average woman can afford to accept uu-
less driven to do SO by the stern compul-
sion Of want.
Another cause, and perhaps the chief
one, is assigned by Miss Woodbridge,
secretary Of the Working Women's So
ciety, who says 1.-THE trouble is there are
SO many more women to fill places than
there are places to fill "-Washington
Post.
