Here are the laws of health
for women as laid down in mon

Don't worry. Don't hurry.
Don't overeat. Don't starve.
Breathe fresh air every day and

cheerful. .Work like a woman,
but don't be worked to death.
Avoid passion and excitement.

near Flemington. A town has
been laid out by a competent
engineer. Historic names have
been selected for some of the
streets, while others will bear
the name of States: Lincoln
avenue promises to be the prin>
cipal street.
The plan contemplates a big
shoe factory, to be run solely
on the cooperative plan. A
large grove has been set aside
for a camp meeting ground. 1t
is hoped that the Leh4gh Val
ley Railroad will extend its
branch from Pittstown to the
new settlement. Many of the
leading colored persons of the
States have given their indorse-
ment and are persuading their
brethern to purchase lots.
The name of the town will
probably be Rome. Lots valued
at more than $4,000 have been
sold. They ranged in price from
SIS to 500. Italians and Hun
garians have purchased lots,
and also a few other white per>
sons. So far no deeds have been
made, but this requirement will
be met at an carly date.

Two Trains Wrecked at a

SEVERAL PEOPLE HURT

Was Killed.
SEVERAL PEOPLE HURT

fLYMoUTH, N. c., July 1o.-
Last night as the $50 passenger
and mail train on lhe Atlantic
Coast Line was coming toward
Plymouth, and the Princeton
freight train was pulling out, a
most terrible railroad accident
occurred at the crossing of the
two roads, one mile south of
Plymouth. 1t appears that both
trains were contesting tor the
right of>way, the Princeton
train blew off brakes about the
same time the Coast Liur train
did, and both engines dashed
forward and before the engineers
could put on brakes the great
iron horses dashed together,
leapipg head first into the ditch,
the Atlantic Coast Line getting
on top where it remains. The
engineer on the Princeton train
was caught under the steaming
mass and was pulled out more
dead than alive, and is cousid~
cred fatally injured. The en-
yineer on the Atlantic Coast
Line kept his position until all
was over and leaped from his
cab without sustaining any in>
iuries. The hremen on both
engines are slightly injured.
Mail Agent A. R. Depree,
whose car was derailed, was
slightly injured; also Express
Agent R. A. Willitord escaped
with slight injuries.
Train Porter Parker, colored,
is perhaps fatally injured intern
ally. Sev>ral passengers and
men on the freight train were
slightly injured.
The passenger car and mum
Der of log cars that were attach>
ed to the Princeton train are on
the track and not injured.
