the whistle shortly before the crash occurred.
 G. O. Mason, a Phoenix barber. from the train saw the wagon when the train was within 400 yards of the crossing. He heard the whistling, but did not hear the bell
 Charles White, 9-year-old boy. was sitting in a window at his home and saw the train hit the wagon, but he could not remember about the bell. Pedro Vaistro, who was standing at the Cathedral crossing when the train passed, testified that the bell was not ringing then. There were two or three other witnesses, but their testi- mony failed to throw much light on the main problem.
 The inquest was attended by Judge Kibbey, representative of the rail- road company, and by Assistant Dis trict Attorney Bullard, between whom sharp collcquies frequently arose upon questions by the latter tending to bring out statements that the bell had not been continuously ringing within eighty feet of the crossing as the law requires. The crossing is in some respects dangerous one, though there is a good view of the crossing on the railroad from the south side within 200 yards; beyond that the view is hidden by a heavy fringe of trees along the track. Persons who live at Tempe say it is is the practice of the trainmen to ring the bell from the time the train leaves the switch until it passes the crossing, though generally the bell cannot be heard above the rattle and roar of the train. It is thought that when the wagon was on the bridge it's occupants must have seen the train and must cerSa 'nly have heard it. Whether they believed they could pass the crossing first or whether they lost control of the horses is not known. Anyway having once left the bridge the impetus given by the steep descent would almost necessarily carry them to the top of the grade.
 The two dead men are well known in Phoenix. George Dean is a son of James Dean. now living here He was running hay baler south of Mesa and was on his way to Tempe for ma chinery repairs when he met his death He had been married about two years. James Toney was sen of E. B. Toney. living five miles north of town, and brother-in-law cf A. l.. Moore of

DIED AT A CROSSING.
James Toney and George Dean Killed
 at Tempe Yesterday.

There was a terrible railway dis aster at Tempe yesterday morning. The Mesa bound train which leaves Tempe at 10:1G crashed into a wagon containing three men, at what is known as the Eighth street crossing. When the ruin was over one of the occupants. James Toney, was found dead in a ditch near by He had a bad temple wound and a broken leg. The body of George Dean was taken from beneath the train. It had been cut in two in the middle. The third man, Horace Bliss, lay against the bottom of telephone pole. He had a broken arm, a scalp wound and a badly injured hip. He will recover. Amid the immediate confusion it was impossible to get an intelligent story of the tragedy. At the inquest which took place before Justice Meyer in the afternoon a reasonably clear story oi the accident came out, though the testimony failed to fix the blame, il there was any.
 The coroner's jury consisted oi George F. Thornton, Rev. MT. Melton Wa son PickreIl, M. L. Spear, G. R. French and A. z. Harris. The railroad leaving Tempe for Mesa passes the south Si6e of the butte. It is almost parallel for a short distance by the Kirkland ditch at distance of about four rods. Eighth street crosses beth which are several feet above the high way. The man who saw the most oi the accid5nt was the fireman, Harry Redwood. He saw the wagon con- taining three men on the bridge across the ditch The train was then about 200 wards from the crossing. As the wagon was moving toward the track he signaled the engineer, who reversed the engine and applied the air. In coming down tie grade from the bridge the horses gained an impetus that carried them almost up the next grade upon the track. The driver stood up in the wagon and struck the horses, and the wagon was landed on the track directly in front of the en- zine The cowcatcher struck the right fore wheel of the wagon. It was torn loosn from the horses, which escaped unhurt The fireman testified that the bell had been ringing ever since the train had left the switch mile below.
 The engineer, James Tarney. saw nothing until ne obser yed the wagon on the track directly in front of the engine. Upon a signal by the fireman he had reversed the engine and ap- piled the air. He also testified that the bell had been ringing long before the train reached the crossing. Neither the conductor nor the brakeman had seen anything of the accident, but had heard the ringing of the bell.
 Among the witnesses were J. P. GoodIander and B. E., McVeigh. trav cling men, and w. R. Brown, travelling passenger agent of the Southern Pa cific at Fl Paso. They did not hear the bell, but had heard the alarm of

ENGLAND AND FRANCE.
Nearly Reached the Point of Breaking
 Off Negotiations

London, May 14.-If the s'Yanko- Spanko war;" as one of the London newspapers calls it, did not absorb public attention there would be much anxiety over the exceedingly threat ening phase which the West African quarrel between Great Britain and France has now assumed. The mat ter is SO acute that it has almost reached the point of causing the breaking off of negotiations batween the two countries.
 The alarm takes tangible shape in the startling rate demanded by the underwriters at LlOyds for insurance against a war between Great Britain and France. As high as 10 per cent
Arizona republican., 1898-05-15

premium is demanded and received by Lloyds for insurance against war between the two countries within the next two months.
 The rate three months ago was 5 per cent for a year which was extraOr- dinarily high. The absence of serious disturbance in the stock market indi- cates, however, that Lloyds is panicky and that the high demands are not justified One reasons for the heavy war premium is the fact that Lloyds lost heavily on the outbreak of the Spanish-American conflict, which Lloyds managers believed almost to the last moment would be averted. They are now quick to take alarm.

The Real Place in Education of the
 Kindergarten.

The question is frequently asked Cannot the best things of the kinder, garten be introduced in the primary department of the public school 2, The best thing of kindergartening is the kindergarten itself and nothing else will do; it would be necessary to make very material changes in the primary clas swhich is to include a a kinder garten- changes that are demanded by radically different methods
 The kindergarten should offer the child experience instead of instruc- tion; life instead of learning; prac- tical child-life. miniature world. where he lives and grows and learns and expands. No primary teacher. were she Minerva herself, can work out Froebel's idea successfully with sixty or seventy children under her sole charge.
 It will be seen that this simple, natural, motherly instruction of baby hood cannot be transplanted bodily into the primary school, where the teacher has fifty or sixty children who are beyond the two most fruitful years which the kindergarten demands. Be- sides. the teachers of the lower grades cannot introduce more than an infini- tesimal number of kindergarten ex- ercises, and at the same time keep up their full routine of primary studies and exercises.
 Any one who understands the double needs of the kindergarten and pri- mary school cannot fail to see this matter correctly, and as was said be- fr,r>e fnyry Iii a fey, rn not needed. The kindergarten itself is wanted. If teachers were all indoc- trinated with the spirit of Froebel's method, they would carry on it's prin- ciples in dealing with pupils of any age; but Froebel's kindergarten, pure and simple, creates a place for chill dren of four or five years. to begin their bit of lifework; it is in no sense school, nor must become so, or it would lose it's very essence and irues. meaning
