AGAIN A RAILROAD HORROR
Seven Killed and Six Injured, TwO
Fatally.
A FREIGHT TRAIN WRECKED AT
HANSON, 1T.

The Victims Were Party OF Men and Boy
Wheel Caused Fifteen Loaded Cars to
DPne Up.
Memphis, Tenn, September IA
special to the Commeroial-Appeal from
Van Buren, Arkansas, says: A most dis
astrous freight Ewreck occurred on the
Iron Maintain. ..roadsat Hanson, I. T., a
small station twenty miles west Of Van
Buren at two O'Clock, resulting in the
death Of seven men and the serious injury
of six others, two of whom will die.
The dead:
William Fame.
Charles Fame.
Douglass Anderson.
John johnson.
Bore Henderson.
Frank Hamilton.
H. A. Wilton.
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 Waloon's
body, 1t being brought to this place,
where he has relatives living. None Of
the train men were hurt. The wrecked
train was local freight from Coffeyville,
Kansas, to Van Buren. While the train
was running at a speed of twenty miles
an hour the forward trucks of one of the
cars near the engine broke, wrecking
fifteen 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
twenty composing the train was ditched.
In the middle of the train was a car
loaded with heavy machinery and it was
in this car that thirteen men were steal
ing ride and from which seven dead and
six seriously wounded, were taken by the
train men shortly afterward.
It appears that occupants of the wrecked
car were party of men and boys living
at Wan, I. T., who were coming to Van
Buren, to find employment in the cotton
field. When the machinery car left the
rails it fell on it's side, nearly all of the
men being caught by the heavy beams. A
car of logs was piled on top of the one in
which the men were riding and that any
escaped instant death is but little short of
miracle.

One of the prettiest weddings in
this vicinity was that of Mr.. Chas.
H. Willard jr. and Miss Helen f.
Cheny of Townshend. Wedneday eve
ming. Both are well known to Lon
donderry people, Mr.. Willard bel G
the we'll known lumber manufacturer
at that place. Miss Julia Sague of
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, and Miss
Annie Watson of Rock Hill, S. c.,
we're bridesmaids and Mr.. Marcus
Coolidge of Fitchburg, Mass, and
Mr., Herbert Stone of Brooklyn, N.
Y, stood up with the groom. Rev.
Mr.. Hardy officiated and Mrs. Hardy

ding march. The bride was in white
and the bridesmaid in pink silk On
ly relatives, mill employees and their
wives and few artist friends of the
bride were present.
In the summer of '95 Mrs. Geo. A..
Cheney Of Beloit, Wis. chaperoned
a party of art students that came to
Townshend, with her cousin, the late
Theodore Robinson, and liked the
place so well that she returned the
following year and Mr.. Willard liked
her daughter SO we'll that he persua-
ded her to remain and Townshend

Good Thing For women to Remcm-
ber.
That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they
are communicating with woman-a
woman whose experience in treating
woman's ills is greater than that of any
living physician-male or female.
A woman can talk freely to woman
when it is revolving to relate her private
troubles to man-besides, man does
not understand-simply because he is a
man.
Many women suffer in silence and drift
along from bad to worse, knowing full
well that they should have immediate as
sistance, but natural modesty impels
them to shrink from exposing themselves
to the questions and probable examina-
tions of even their family physician. 1t
is unnecessary. Without money or price
you can consult woman, whose knowl-
edge from actual experience is greater
than any local physician living.
The following invitation is freely Of
fered; accept it in the same spirit.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn
Mass. All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women only, thus
has been established the eternal conf
dence between Mrs. Pinkham and the
women of America which has never been
broken and has induced more than 100,-
900 sufferers to write her for advice dur
ing the last four months, Out of the
vast volume of experience which she has
to draw from, it is more than possible
that she has gained the very knowledge
that will help your case. She asks moth
ing in return except yonr goodwill, and
her advice has relieved thousands. Sure
ly any woman, rich or poor, is very fool
ish if she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.-Lydia E.
Pinkham Medicine Co, Lynn, Mass.

Is Pingree Mayor of Detroit {.

The question whether Gov. Pingree
has right to be mayor of Detroit also
is now in fair way to come squarely
before the supreme court for its deter
mination. The court dismissed the
proceeding brought by ID. w. III. More
land, of Detroit, in his own name to
compel the common council of the city
of Detroit to recognize President Rich
ert as acting mayor and to call a special
election. The court directs that the
Detroit common council show cause
why mandamus should not issue to
compel it to call a special election for
the purpose of electing a successor to
MayorPingree. Acknowledgement May
nard was informed that upon fling
the petition he would be relieved of
further participation in the proceed
ings as the REALTORS interests would be
looked after by Judge Speed and Hon.
+. A. Baker, but the encouragement
declared his intention of appearing in
the case.
1t is quite generally believed that it
will be found impossible to hold the
election, if one is ordered, on April 5,
because several days will necessarily
elapse after the hearing before de-
cision can be reached.

The three days adjournment to al
low the Legislators TO be at home over
Sunday does not seem TO fill them with
very great desire to get down to hard
work. The Senate passed eight bills,
the only one of general importance be-
ing III. Ii. 100, allowing life and acct
dent insurance companies To do n
boiler, plate-glass or fidelity insurance
business without reorganizing. In the
House several bills were passed, the
mos important being these: I'll. H. s4)
To provide for the treatment of the
children of INDECENT poor people who
are afflicted with any durable malady
or deformity at birth, free of charge;
I'll. Ii. l77) To amend the divorce law,
providing that notice of suit will be
required when the person sued is non
resident; Gil. b. 1859 to prevent adulter-
alton, fraud and deception in the man
ufacture and sale of buckwheat flour
Out of the 60 Representatives present
but 2s voted in favor of printin in the
Legislative Journal the governors
proclamation urging voters to support
the bill TO increase the salary of the
Encouragement, and yet but one of
others had the courage to vote against
it SO it will be printed. Rep. Kimmis'
bill grading county officials salaries
according to the population and fixing
the maximum for any county official at
$4,000 came up in committee of the
whole, but was referred to the com
mittee on counties and towns. In COM
mittee of the whole the following bills
were agreed to: Providing for women
physicians in asylums where female
patients are confined; prohibiting any
person other than members in good
standing in the G.. A. X. from wearing
the badge of that order; providing that
in taking the census of school children
the residence and street number be
given, and providing penalty for Civ
ing false information.
