killed; Conductor Buckley of the express,

died soon afterwards
The express was backing from the Fitch
burg tracks on to the Bennington d Rut-
land road when struck by the freight,
which had been waiting Just above Hoosick
Junction. The night was foggy and the
crew of the freight train supposed that the
passenger had cleared the switch. The
engine struck the front of the passenger
car and the mail and baggage car. The

NEWS IN BRIEF.
Holland Boat Proved Success.

Of tho Submarine Wonder.

American and German Naval Officers
Satisfied with the Trial Under water
of the Submarine Wonder.
On trial run under the most unfavora-
BILE conditions at Greenpoint, N. Y, Fri
day the Holland submarine torpedo boat
gave successful results as to speed and ease
of management. On the surface she ran
three miles from her anchorage to the start
of the government course in less than hall
an hour against head winds, strong tide
and heavy sea. The first run was made
submerged, over the one-mile course, at
the end of which the vessel came to the
surface for rapid observation; then she
mazda a short dive and came to the surface
a short distance from the beginning of the
second-mile buoys. The mile run under
water was made in less than ten minutes,
while the time for taking observation for
changing the position of the vessel was
made in less than seven seconds. The boat
Owed several times and ran at high speed,
both awash and submerged.
Capt. j ohnLowe, chief engineer, . S.navy,
and Herr Wellenkamp. constructor in the
German navy, who is visiting the United
States to investigate our naval methods,
were on board. They were very favora-
bly, impressed. Herr Wellenkamp said Il
am agreeably surprised. The Holland is
all she is claimed to be. The boat is of the
highest order of naval architecture, and to
my mind perfectly safe, either on the sur
face or submerged. The performance in
diving, ascending and following her course
so perfectly was more than l had expected
to see. In the hands of competent men
the boat would prove formidable weap-
on" Baron Won Rebeur Paschwitz of the
German embassy said "The boat is in my
mind perfectly safe, whether above or be-
low water, and would not hesitate to take
command of vessel of her type, With
such weapons the present method of block
aiding must be very materially changed"

Bradstreet's commercial report says
Those infallible induces of commercial con-
ditions, statistics of failures, point to con-
tinued trade improvement and to still

fewest failures, the smallest liabilities and
the smallest proportion of assets to liabili-
ties of which there is any recent record
Failures and liabilities alike found their
minimum this year in September, and cor
responding totals of previous years show
that the month just closed comes near to,
if not actually, possessing the record of
the smallest business embarrassments and
liabilities. There were only 2026 failures,
involving $15, $50, 965 in liabilities and &c.

400 Army Mules Killed I'm Gale at
Sea,

A Manila despatch of the 9th inst. says:
The United States transport Siam, which
left San Francisco August 10, with upward
of $50 valuable mules, and the coming of
which had been anxiously awaited, as
mules are in great demand for continuing
the campaign, arrived this morning and re-
ported that all but 10 of the animals had
been lost, in two severe typhoons, under
peculiarly distressing conditions. The
Siam, which left Honolulu 81 days ago, en-
countered the typhoons early this week.
One lasted 40 hours. Most of the forage
that was on deck was swept overheard, all
the boats were smashed and the steamer
rolled tremendously in the trough of the
sea, although the officers made every effort
to bring her about. The mules were hurl-
ed from side to side and frightfully man
gled. Their legs and necks were broken and
the wretched animals fell in such a confus-
ed mass that the attendants were unable to
relieve them. In the meantime the deck
load was washed off, the ship lightered and
the rolling increased. When the storm
abated the injured animals were killed and
their carcasses thrown overheard. When
the Siam arrived her propeller was high
out of the water and the wrecks of her
boats were hanging from the davits.

Harriet Heilbuth of Chicago five years

restored through the use of the rays.
Two years ago the child while playing fell
from the porch to the sidewalk, a distance
of 16 feet, striking on her head. The fall
left her totally blind and with her right side
paralyzed. A few weeks ago the y rays
were applied and revealed tumor the size
