The injured We're all brought to the
Allegheny general hospital. The seri-
Gus cases are still there, while the 9TH
ers were either removed to their homes
in Allegheny d. continued on their
journey. The wreck was a peculiar
one and involved three trains-the To-
cal freight, No. 81. the through freight,
No. %, and the east-bound passenger,
No. II, from Chicago.
The local was standing at Valencia
station unloading freight when the
through freight came to the top of
the grade just east of Valencia. The
engineer, who was en- the lookout for
No. %, put on the air brakes, but they
refused to work, and his train went
crashing into the local. Just as the
two freights collided the passenger
came along OH the %east-bound track
and was struck by the freight cars
which were derailed at that moment.
The engine and baggage car of the
passenger train got through safely
and broke away from the balance of
the train. The fist passenger coach,
in which were a great many ladies,
was crushed by a al load of oil well
tubing. The tubing was thrown with
terrific force in every direction, caus
ing most of the wounds received by
the passengers. The wreckage was
piled twenty-five d. thirty feet high in
places. The railroad people say the
whole trouble was caused by the fail
ure Of the brakes to work while the
through freight was on the hill.

How to Treat the Eyes.

Never poultice an eye under any cir
cumstanccs whatever. Binding a wet
application over an eye for several hours
must damage the eye, the assertions of
those protesting to have personal ex-
perience in this to the contrary notwith-
standing.
The failure to aggravate an existing
trouble by binding a moist application
over an inlamed eye, which application
is supposed to remain for an entire
night, can only be explained by the sup
position that a guardian angel has
watched over that misguided case and
has displaced the poultice before it had
got in its fine work. ALI oculists con-
denim the poultice absolutely, in every
shape and in every form. Tea leaves,
bread and milk, raw oysters, scraped
beef, scraped raw turnip or raw potato
and the medley of disgusting domestic
remedies popularity recommended are,
one and all, capable of producing ire
mediable damage to the integrity OF tho
tissues of the visual organ.

A Flight of Birds Changed the History Of

When Columbus sailed westward over
the unknown Atlantic, he expected to
reach Zipangu (Japan). After several
days. sail from Gomera, mi Of the
Canary islands, he became uneasy at
not discovering Zipangu, which, accord
ing to his reckoning, should have been
218 nautical miles more to the east.
After a long discussion he yielded to the
opinion Of Martin Alonzo Pinzon, the
commander Of the Pinta, and steered to
the southwest Pinzon was guided in
his opinion by = flight Of parrots toward
the southwest. The effect Of this change
in his course curiously exemplifies the
influence of small and apparently trivial
events in the worlds history. If Colum-
bus. resisting the counsel of Pinzon, had
kept his original route he would have
entered the warm current Of the gulf
stream, have reached Florida and then
probably have been carried to Cape
Hatteras and Virginia. The result
would probably have been to give the
present United States q Roman Catholic
Spanish population instead Of a Protes-
tant English one, a circumstance Of
Unreasonable Importance. Never"

birds more important consequences. It
may be said to have determined the first
