Six Men KILLED and Seven Injured IT an
Indian Territory Train wreck.

Van Buren. Ark. Sept. 1s.-A most
disastrous freight wreck occurred on
the Iron Mountain road at Hansom. 1.
T., small station 20 miles west Of Van
Buren, yesterday afternoon. resulting in
the death of seven men and the serious
injury OF six others. two Of whom will
die.
The dead are william Fame, Charles
Fame Douglass Anderson, John John
son, Bore Henderson, Frank Hamilton
and II. A. Walton. The injured are
George Coffman, Jack Jones' Jameg
Phillips, Robert Eubanl:s. Charles PEN
der and George Parker.
OF the wounded It is thought two will
die, as they suffered internal injuries.
All of the dead and wounded were sent
to Wan with the exception of Waltons
body, It being brought to this place,
where relatives of his live. None OF
the trainmen was hurt. The wrecked
train was a local freight from Coffey-
vile, Kan. to Van Buren, While the
tralT was running at a speed Of 20 miles
an hour the forward trucks OF one Of
the cars near the engine broke. wreck
ing Is cars loaded with walnut logs and
baled hay. With the exception of two
cars in front and three cars In the rear,
including the caboose, every car Of the
20 composing the train was ditched. In
the middle of the train was a car loaded
with heavy machinery, and Il was in
this car that 13 men were stealing a
ride and from which seven dead and
six seriously wounded We're taken by
the trainmen shortly afterward.
1t appears that the occupants Of the
wrecked car were a party of men and
boys living in Wan. /. r., who were
coming TO Van BurCn to find employ
ment in the cotton fields. When the
machinery car left the rails, it fell on
its side. nearly all OF the men being
caught by. the heavy beams. A car OF
logs was piled on top e the one in which
the men were riding, and that any es-
capped instant death is but little short of
a miracle. A message was sent to Train
master Walsh at this place by the train
crew. and he Immediately ordered out
a wrecklng crew, and, with Division
Roadmaster Mcleod. went to the scene
of the wreck. taking with him DR.. De-
brill, the company's local surgeon at this
place. The first thing done was to ex-
tricate the dead and wounded. and on
account of the heavy logs and machin-
| cry under which they We're buried the
task was laborious one, and it was
several hours before the last of the bod
les was X moved from the wreck.

Royal RaiIroad Comforts for HeI

Royal RAILROAD Comforts for Her
Aged Majesty.
While the principal railway COM
panies have always possessed special
saloons reserved for the use Of her maj
esty, there has been no regular queens
train" until the present year. Now,
however, the Great Western Railway
company, upon whose line the queen
travels frequently, has celebrated the
diamond jubilee by constructing a
brand-new train of six carriages-a
handsome, and, indeed splendid Sc
ries of saloons connected by flexible
gangways. This is to be reserved en-
tirely for the use Of the queen androyal
family. The queens coach proper is
81 feet long, while the other saloons,
corridor coaches and luggage vans av-
erage a slightly greater length. Her
maiesty's own travellEg compartment
is wonderfully comfortable, with every
possible contrivance and convenience
which can add TO the monarch's ease
during her journeys. Her favorite arm
chair on swinging pivot, and the sofa.
both upholstered in white silk rep, are
situated ON one side. close to the great
plate glass windows. while within easy
reach of the royal chair is an electric
bell and small folding writing table.
The compartments for attendants are
upholstered in white morocco. and the
train is illuminated throughout by the
electric light. which her majesty has at
last consented TO employ. In her own
apartment a cluster Of six incandescent
lamps give light. which can be regu-
lated to the taste of the occupant. The
exterior of this splendid coach has at
each of its four corners a large lions
head, surmounted by goldIcrown. The
engine has special hydraulic devices,
which win be fitted TO funnel and driv-
ing-wheel splashers, and the royal
train, thus drawn, must certainly pro-
vide an imposing spectacle for the
queens ubjects.-London Black and

The Decay of Animal Matter.

A great many proofs now more or
less familiar to most people show quite
clearly that the decay of animal or veg
etable matter is not simple chemical
change, inevitable in the nature of
things, but violent interference with
the natural course on the part of hos
tile organisms. The bacteria which
produce decomposition are very minute
plants, which grow, like mushrooms or
molds, upon organic matter, and which
reproduce their like with incredible ra-
pidity.
Tyndall showed long ago that the
spores of these plants exist in myriads
in the air, floating everywhere around
us; that they occupy all crannies and
empty places on the surface of the earth,
and that they swarm in their millions
in all ponds and puddles. An easy way
of proving that these spores alone and
the plant colonies which spring from
them are the cause of putrefaction
may be obtained by boiling beef tea in
a test tube, so as to kill the bacteria, and
then, while the liquid is still steaming,
closing up the mouth of the tube with
a plug of cotton wool, which admits the
air but strains out the germs of the pu-
refactive organisms. Under these con-
ditions the beef tea will keep good for
years, but if you remove the plug it
will begin at once TO putrefy.
