Special to tho 6venlng journal.


Smyrna. Sept. 2l-Mrs Mary Tur-
uer, living near Smyrna, has received
8 letter from her brOther, Dr. John b.
Driggs. a former Smyrna man and
hkowu to many in Wilmington, who is
seated in Point Hope, Alaska, which
is the first news Of him the family has
had for many months. Or. briggs is
q missionary doctor. He is q graduate
Of New York College and left the
United States in May, 1890, for Alaska,
settling at Point Hope, one Of the most
northern points. He was home for six
months I'm 1895, the revenue cutter
Bear. having touched at Point Hope
landing when he boarded her for the
States.
Dr. briggs is doing a noble work
among the natives Of the Arctic re-
gions being the only white missionary
who has ever mastered the language
His annual letter last year spoke of
how late his supplies were I'm arriving.
III these supplies did not reach their
destination DR.. briggs would die as he
could not exist on the food eaten by
the natives The landing is a dangerous
landing there are frequent In his last
letter the physician spoke Of the scare
ity oNf0od for the natives They share
i'm common with each other in the
Arctic circle, not living separately as
people do here
The letter given below is not his
annual letter and came in the nature
Of a surprise TO Mrs. Turner. The
doctor evidently just had time to write
and give the letter to friends passing
frsm Point Hope to Cape Nome. for
while he wrote under date Of May H.

SERIOUS WRECK
Was AVERThD
BY Presence Of Mind Of an
Engineer on The B. C 0.
Railroad

When the Royal Blue line express
train on the b. & o. railroad. reached
the Potter street crossing, Chester,
shortly before o'clock Saturday after
noon, the shaft or axle on the main
drivingwheel snapped like a pipe stem,
breaking of close to the hub Of the
wheel.
Fortunately for the train and its
passengers, the engine had not gained
much OF a momentum, having just
started from the station or il is feared,
ahe consequences might have been dis
asrous. When Ghe break occurred
Engineer Steel heard it. and then felt
a jar as though the train was running
over an object Quick as a fash he ap-
piled The air and brought the train
to a standstill Then tne big, heavy
axle aet.led on the ground.
Word Was sent TO the B. q o. rail-
road station and Operator Edward II.
Mcgowan at once sent for an engine
from Fifty-cighth street, also for The
wreck train. The next east-bound
train was used to pull the coaches
from behind the disabled engine, and
when the locomotive from Philadel-
phia reached the scene, it took the
passengers on to their destination.
The engine was No. 1913 and has
three big driving wheels on each side
| The two on the side where the axle
was broken, of course, held the en-
yine up, but the heavy steel side reds
were bent and twisted out OF shape
Engineer Steel said that he was run
ning at the rate Of sixty miles an hour
between Wilmington and Chester. anc
mad he been going at that rate Of speeJ
when the accident occurred, there ii
no telling what would have happened
The broken axle would have dropped
- caught in the ties and at least, woul,
have derailed The engine, and probabl.
! made q wreck OF serious. consequences
Engine 1913 has a record. Ii is tn
locomotive that carried the late Vice
President Hobart from Philadelphia t.
Washington, to his inauguration, AM
q so doing cut down the schedule tim
)ne hour between these points.
The delay before the damaged en-
sine could be pulled OFF the east-boun
track, was one hour. Meanwhile ap
preaching brains used the west-boun
rails The workmen were very dexter
ous in getting the track cleared.
