A PECULIAR AocIDEST.
Railroad Track Broken In Small Pieces b,
Heavy Locomotive.

Heavy Locomotive.
A peculiar accident happened at
Race and Hutton streets, in the Ninth
ward, about 4.30 o'clock Saturday
afternoon, when the weight of p, W.
& Il. shifting engine No. 10 broke a
rail on the Augustine siding in several
pieces, which allowed the shifter to
drop to the ties, and as result railroad
business at that point was at stand
still for something like an hour. AS
soon as it became apparent that the
locomotive could not be replaced under
her own steam the wrecking cars and
crew were sent. to. the siding and in
half an hour the engine was back on
the track and a short time thereafter a
new rail had been laid in place of the
shattered one and the siding was in
good shape. Several hundred people
were attracted by the accident, as a
report had been circulated that some
body was hurt, but such was not the
case.
The siding, which is used by freight
trains running to and from the mills
Of the William Lea & Sons TO. and
the Jessup & Moore Paper Co., has
been in service for several years and
the same locomotive which shattered
one of the rails on Saturday afternoon
has been running over it for some
time, and Just why the rail should
have gwen way in such peculiar
manner is not known, as it appeared to
be as strong as any Of the other rails.
Another odd feature of the accident
was the fact that it occurred just prior
to the time for finishing the week $
work on the siding, but the delay me-
cessitated some work being done that
night

Walter Quarles of No. ITO South
Franklin street, an employe of the p.
w. d b. railroad, fell from the top of a
box car Friday afternoon near the

a short time.

gage master and extra conductor on
the Delaware railroad, injured his foot.
The bruised member became painful

injured the thumb Of his left hand
several days ago. The member became
swollen and blood poisoning set in.

The Rev. E. Arthur Dodd, Ph. d. !
in his evening sermon at st. Andrews s
last Sunday discussed heroes and hero
ism. He touched briefly upon the
Dreyfus case aud declared that the de-
Tenders of Capt. Dreyfus were heroes.
He found a change in the conception of
heroism; the early heroes being noted
for power, the later heroes for virtue.
The real element of Christian virtue is
universalism. Two thousand years ago
men would not have fought simply for
a principle as they do today. Heroism
is in political life, in the home life of
the wives and mothers of soldiers, in
the slums, in persons who are trying 10
live down inherited disposition. Christ
was hero. He sought to make lifo
one of virtue, to incarnate goodness
into our life and make it the principle
of our action.

A jury empnneled by Coroner Van
dever Thursday decided that Mrs.
Annie Duling died from the effects of
inflammation of the stomach, caused
by eating powdered glass. taken with
suicidal intent while temporarily de-
ranged. The physicians who made the
post mortem examination stated that
it was likely that the needle found in
the stomach had entered through the
flesh and had not been swallowed. 1t
had evidently been in the stomach for
some time, as it had become rusted.
The trouble was not attributed to the
needle.

Road Improvements.

sioners are considering the matter
of improving the roads between
this place and Cyanide, by cover

to assist in the matter Mr.. Argall
has promised to donate all the Gin
ders that can be used OF course
whatever the county commission
ers do will be done outside the city
limits, and in order to make the
work complete the town must con-
tinue the Improvement.
A petition bearing over 100
names has been presented to the
board of county commissioners,
asking for the Improvements, and
if it receives favorable considera-
ton by that board, it will be pre-
sented to the city council.
With the great amount Of travel
between the two places, and the
fact that in wet weather the roads
are hardly passable, it would seem
that an effort in that direction by
the town board would be very gen
orally endorsed.
