The August number of the American
Railway Guide Company's Official Rail-
way Guide is an excellent one. The Of
fetal guide is one of the things that not

all times to consult as to railway lines.

News knows the value Of the American
Railway Guide Company's publications.
The eulogies Of some of the British
press over the enterprise Of the two com
peting railways between London and
Aberdeen in cutting down the time of
the long run to ten hours and twenty-five
minutes have suddenly been changed to
sermons on the danger and cOstliness Of
nigh speed, by an accident TO one of the
rival racers. The West Coast Express"

and was wrecked in the twinkling Of an
eye. The seven carriages We're scatter
ed over an area measuring forty yards
by thirty, and carriage fittings, broken
doors and glass, ends of compartments
and sets of wheels and fallen telegraph
wires were scattered about-a confused
mass. The engines were greatly damag-

the roof OF the guards van remained en-

only one life was lost, and the list Of in

with him. He drew his pistol and -four
ished it around the child, at the same
time defying anyone to arrest him.
While making these fiourishes the pistol
was discharged, but fortunately the ban
went wild.
Marshal Lentz was summoned and
placed Neidlinger under arrest. The child
was brought to the city and carried TO
the police barracks and was sent home
from there by Chief McDermott. The
chief at once suspended Neidlinger.

Believe In your line. BE sure It is right

They may be truthful earnest and in

Spanish Gun Boat Chased The Daunt-

Spanish Gun Boat Chased The Daunt-
less And Shot One Man.
Chicago, Oct. PA special from
Jacksonville, Fla, says: On the hur-
ricane deck of the filibustering stea-
mer Dauntless is great stain which
was made by the life blood of one of
the vessels crew from shot from the
Spanish gunboat COntramaestra dur
ing the filibusterers' last voyage.
On the morning of Oct. IS, the stea-
mer was leaving a point on the nor
thern coast of the province of Pinar
del Rio, after having landed her third
cargo of supplies for the insurgents.
When ten miles off the shore the Con-
tramaestra bore down upon them and
the Dauntless was forced to her best
speed. Shot after shot was fired by
the Spaniards. The little vessel was
gaining when a cry from the pilot
and smashing of wood told that the
boat had been struck. One of the
crew had been struck and cut in two.
Going at full speed the Dauntless fl
nally got out of range and escaped
the Spaniard.
