 ,1. killed by passing military train just a few minutes before the casualty to the First Missouri train
 There were many others badly, but not fatally injured.
 The train on which the damage was done, was carrying the Missourians from Chattanooga to the park The last car of this train was loaded with horses of the officers.
 The military train was standing on the Chattanooga, Rome X Southern track, just beyond the crossing of the belt line, about a half mile from Ross vile. It was crashed into by the reg ular south-bound morning Chattanooga, Rome X Southern passenger train. It is said that there was no fiagman on the military train.
 The shock was very severe. The To- comotive of the regular train was jammed into the horse car. which was the next one forward. The man who was killed and those badly injured Were all on the horse car. Everything was done to stop the passenger train when the other was seen, but it was going at great speed.
 The engineer, ". (. Wheeler, stuck to his post to the last and escaped with only maimed ankle He and his fire man were at once arrested and placed under a squad of soldiers They are gravely censured by the soldiers for running so rapidly with a special ahead Qf them. All the horses of the officers, valuable animals were killed. The forward coaches of the military train were badly shaken, but no injury was done anyone in them. The damage would have been much greater had
 
 exactly the reverse of the Gsual order If it had gone out in reg ular order the slecpers would have been in the rear and the officers who occu- pied them would have been killed in- stead of horses. The wounded, about twelve in all, were taken at once in charge by Surgeon Wills of the first battalion of the regiment Col. Edwin Batdorf, commanding the regiment, was doing everything possible for the sufferers.
 Lieut.. Col John Jacob Astor, of New York, as well as a number of officers, were on the regular train, but were not injured.

8 The Producer Of Liquid Air Began Studying Out the N
81 Question When Under Age N
*
WHEN A BOY.


l have been asked to tell what l
know about Mr.. Tripler and his dis
covery of liquid air. 1t was, If re-
member Alright, some time in the sum-
mer of 1894, when Mr.. Charles E. Trip
Ter called on me one morning in my
study and informed me Of the nature
of his experiments in the production of
liquid air, the success of those expert
ments, and the purpose which he had
had In view in conducting them. He
had been much impressed by various
calculations with regard to the amount
of our coal deposits, and their probable
exhaustion within measurable time
at the present rate of consumption.
He saw before him period, beyond
the limit of his own life. it is true, but
yet within sight, when industry, prog
ress and civilization itself must come
to an end through the exhaustion Of
the supply of coal, unless some other
and more economical force could be
substituted for steam.
Mr.. Tripler is the junior warden of st.
Michael's church, New York, of which
/ am rector, and | have known him for
years; in fact, almost always. He was
born in 1849, and is native New York
er. He never formally studied natural
science, yet from his boyhood he dis
played bent for physical and me-

that it seemed for time almost i'm
possible that he should recover. Ulti-
mately he regained his health complete
ly, ard resumed his experiments. These
were now no longer regarded by the
neighbors as a harmless amusement,
but quite the reverse. His laboratory
was Stunned like powder magazine,
and what went on within its walls was
shrouded in mystery. No one would
have been surprised to hear any day
that the whole place had been blown to
atoms; and in the absence of any
knowledge of the nature of the expert
ments conducted there, this was prob
ably the only outcome of Mr.. Tripler's
work of which his friends had any real
expectation.
In his search for the great new force,
Mr.. Tripler was led to experiment with
gases, and especially to test their prop
critics at extreme temperatures. This
led to the liquefaction of first one gas
and then another, until finally he sue
ceeded in reducing ordinary air to q
liquid, and even to a solid state. His
discovery of liquid air was approx
mately contemporary with the similar
discovery of Prof. Dewar, in London
but each discovery was independent OF
the other. Mr.. Tripler's discovery was,
of course, vastly more important than

MR. TR1PLER DIPPING LIQUID AIR FROM CANISTER

cbanical contrivances. He was always
experimenting with acids and other
chemicals, or pottering with machin-
cry, and his room was alternately a
chemical and physical laboratory. 1t
was in 1871, when he was little more
than 81 years of age, that he commenced
the researches to which have already
referred, for power to take the place
of steam. A few years later these re-
searches were interrupted by his de-
votion to art. 1t is, believe, rather
an unusual thing for person to pos
sess at the same time artistic and me-
chanical ability. Mr.. Tripler pos
sessed both, and indeed his friends
believed that his artistic ability
was far greater than his mechanical.
Between 1875 and 1878 Mr.. Tripler
exhibited several paintings, and
decorated few rooms. Then to the
great disappointment of his friends he
threw down the painters brush, and
turned back again to chemicals and
machines.
He lived at that time at the old
Woodlawn place, about at the point
where West End avenue and the boule-
ward now join one another. There
was on this property little old wooden
building. This building Mr.. Tripler fit
ted up as workshop, and there he
spent his time amusing himself, as his
friends supposed, by profitless expert
ments. At first he devoted himself to
experiments in quartz crushing, with q
view to the invention of more eco
nomical and efficient method of sepa-
rating metal from the rock in which II
is contained than those then In use.
Before long he was drawn again into
the search for force to take the place
Of steam, and from that time to the
present he has conducted his expert
ments and researches with that end In
view. AS a man of independent meane
he was able to devote himself unhin-
dered to these experiments. He never
breathed to anyone a word about the
nature Of his Investigations or the dis
covery he hoped to make, and hii
friends and neighbors regarded him a
a mere dilettante, and his laboratory aI
harmless sort of toy. One day, while
he was experimenting with gases, 6
metal retort exploded, wrecking the In
terror of the workshop and severely In
juring Mr.. Tripler. Indeed, roughly
speaking. he was ~ blNwn 70 Fisoss

L. A. w. Matters.

In 1892, when A. E. Mergenthaler, the
present candidate for secretary-treasur-
er Of the Ohio Division on the "ring"
ticket, became chief council, and 8. l..
9haster; the present ring" candidate
for chief cOunsul, became secretary-treas-
urer, the membership in the Ohio Divis-
ion was 1,645. At the present time
august 10. 1889 the number Of mem
bers is 2,783, showing an increase for
the past six years of 1,13S. truly a most
wonderful showing, when we consider
that during exactly the same period New
York has increased her membership by
II, ,O56, Pennsylvania by 15,4O9, Massa-
chusetts by 1902, and New Jersey by
175.
That this lack of increase is due to the
fact that old members have asked,
"What do get for my dOllary and fall
ing to receive satisfactory answer,
have therefore neglected to renew their
membership upon its expiration, is
plainly shown by the following figures
From June 4, 1897, to August 10, 1888,
1, 742 new members have Joined the div
ision, while the actual membership has
increased but 1856, showing net loss for
this period alone of 1886. In other
words, while the membership, figuring
on the interim between the above dates
alone, should amount to 4,169, it is in
reality only 2,703,
Now this falling off is due almost
entirely to the nOcuOus desuetude ito
revise Cleveland's famous expressiOn)
of the present officers of the division.
Had these members, who have failed to
renew, seen any benefit accruing to them
as a result of their membership in the
u. A. W. it stands to reason that they
would have renewed; but they wanted to
get their moneys worth, and believing
that they were not, dropped by the way
side.
The work of recruiting new members
has been well done, but the work Of hold
ing them after joining, which is essen
TALLY the duty of the officers of the div
ision, has been poorly done, aud for this
no one is responsible other than these
self-same officials, whom the RefCrmerF
are endeavoring to relegate to the rear.
