The wreck was caused by the burn
ing of a bridge Il and one-half miles
east or Paul station. Although the
framework of the bridge was entirely
burned out, the rails and ties remained
IN place and the train plunged in with
out the slightest intimation to the
engineer that anything was wrong.
Inc train was composed of thirty
eight cars. Eighteen empty stock cars
and twelve cars of miscellaneous NOR
chandlsc, anthracite coal, etc, were
oltched, and together with the engine,
educe to a shapeless mass of wreck
age which caught fire from the burning
embers OF the bridge and were entirely
consumed. A car of anthracite coal
went in last, which made the burning
wreckage a seething furnace.
conductor Montgomery, who was in
the way car and uninjured, ran for
ward Immediately after the wreck
occurred and heard a cry from Engin-
eer Gillian, who was buried under the
wreck, but the fire was so hot that he
could do nothing toward extricating
him. Not a vestige of the three train
men has been found.

PROVERBS BY WILLIAM BLAKE

Expect poison from the standing wa
ter.
Without contraries is not
sion.
To create a little flower is the labor
of ages.
What is now proved was once only
imagined.
He who desires but acts not breeds
pestilence.
Listen to the fools reproach. 1t is a
kingly title.
If others had not been foolish we
should be so.
Eternity is in love with the produc-
tons of time.
No bird scars too high, If he scars
with his W wings.
If the fool would persist in his folly
he would become wise.
Truth can never be told so as to be
understood and not be believed.
The roaring Of lions, the bowling Of
wolves, the raging Of the stormy sea,
and the destructive sword are portions
Of eternity too great for the eye Of
man.

DAVlIT ON DREyFuS VERDICT.
Eminent Says the Condemned
Has Sympathy.

Eminent Says the Condemned
Has sympathy.
LONDON, Sept. 14-(New York
World Cablegram.)-In response to a
request for an opinion on the Dreyfus
verdict Michael Davitt writes:
Comments of the English and
American press on the result OF the
Renne trial are a greater outrage on
justice than the condemnation of Drey-
fus, even if innocent. Had Dreyfus
been a poor nan his fate would excite
no sympathy in London and New
York. Being rich. the English-speak-
ing world works itself into a hypoclit-
ical moral rage against a nation that
has taught England and Europe the
liberty they now profess. Were Drey-
fus an 1rishman accused of political
crime against England he would be
tried. condemned by a packed jury and
sentenced by a political judge and i'm
prsoned among thieves. Being a sus-
pect of traitorism to France is enough
to make him a moral hero in England
n cause the British press to use the
case as a weapon to stab France.

Commissary General Says Critics Arc
Misinformed.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept, 16.-
Commissary General Weston says the
soldier of the Colorado regiment who
has found SO much to criticise at Ma
Mia evidently was misinformed about
the eXorbitant prices which were being
paid for supplies in the Philippines.
Sugar S bought about 40 per cent
cheaper than in the United States; rice
is so per cent cheaper and a consider
able reduction is found in the prices
OF beef purchased in Australia and the
prevailing prices in Chicago. The gov
saves transportation on these
articles.
AS to other articles which are a part
or the cOmmissary stores bought by
the department and sold to the officers
and men at cost price, General Weston
says there is no possibility of loss to
the government upon them. The COM
mlssary department does not purchase
wines, except for the hospitals. These
are bought upon the recommendation
OF the surgeons and the money for
them comes out of the 40 cents a day
allowed to each soldier in the hospital.

Il learn that Captain Dreyfus will

clear for the government to take i'm

pardon will not annul the civil and
