FATAL ACCIDENT.
Brakeman Trainor Killed Near Tie
Siding Two Weeks Ago.

A fatal accident occurred near Tie
Siding nearly two weeks ago, the par
ticulars of which have just come to
fight.
john Trainor, alias T. F. Muldoon, a
brakeman employed on the narrow
gauge railroad which is utilized for the
grading work, jumped from a moving
train, and was struck in the back of the
head by one of the cars, receiving
wounds from which he died twelve
hours later.
Three trains were running close to
each other, when one of the cars in
the first train jumped the track. A
fiagman was sent back to flag the sec
end and third trains. The second one
stopped and Trainor, who was brake
man on the third section, signaled the
engineer to stop, but the brakes were
not applied, and when within about
500 yards of the second train Trainor
jumped, with the result above mention
ed. The trains came together, derailing
two cars. Had Trainor remained at his
post he would have escaped uninjured
The accident occurred at 1:45 a. m,
June It'll, and Trainor died at 2.6 p.
m, the same day. He was buried north
of the road, between Dale creek and
Tie Siding.

ALBANY INSTITUTE
PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIR-
TENTH ANNUAL MEETING
OF TEACHERS.
Educational Matters Discussed by
. Teachers of the City and Country
Important Questions Relating to
the Training of Young Minds Call
Forth Remarks From Many.

The Monday afternoon session of the
Albany County Teachers institute
opened with the round table, conducted
by Prof. f. w. Lee. This is a feature
of the institute which should be of
great practical value to the teachers.
Among the questions asked during this
period We're: Are six hours of school
work too long for young children"
How are clear en%unciation and cor
rect pronunciation to be taught?" A
question relating to the teaching of
spelling called forth many interesting
remarks from both the members of the
institute and the visitors.
President Smiley addressed the
teachers upon educational work in gen.
eral. He touched upon the excellence
of educational systems in the west.
President Smiley especially urged that
teachers should not allow their W
interest and enthusiasm to ebb if they
wished to keep up the interest of their
pupils. To strengthen the enthusiasm
Of the teachers, President Smiley stat
ed that more frequent gatherings, such
as the ANNUAL institute, should be held.
The speaker then gave a very novel and
interesting outline of the revolutionary
war. The remarks of President Smiley
were enthusiastically received and
highly appreciated.
Mr.. lyman, state superintendent of
public instruction, spoke briefly and to
the point upon the new educational law
passed by the last legislature. This
law raises the standard and systema-
ties ce~rtifcation of teachers in the
state. 1t was of great benefit to the
teachers to have this law explained
and commented upon by Mr.. lyman.
Prof. Lee brought up the subject of
forming a state association. Wyoming
Is the only state in the union that does
not have and make some provision for
a state association, a fact much to be
regretted.
The following additional names were
registered during the afternoon: Jen-
ME Lane, Alice Davenport, C. NJ. Simp-
son.
TUESDAY MORNING SESSION.
The Tuesday morning session of the
institute was opened by music and a
prayer offered by Rev. Frederic T.

Letters Prom the Field.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / was
very much interested in reading Lieut..
Branum's series Of letters which appeared
in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE. They were
fresh from the front, so to speak, and for
that reason narrated events just as they
occurred. When they experienced long
and wearisome march he told it just as we
old soldiers remember of having expert
enced it ourselves.
In all the accounts I have ever read of
the famous march to the sea, from Sher-
mans mastery Memoirs down tosthe later
accounts written by his men, both those in
the ranks and those out Of the ranks
C"Bummers) there has never been one
word said about hard marches" "wading
ice-cold streams" suffering from cold and
exposure" and the many other disagree
able things that the average soldier had
| to encounter while in the field; but all
these accounts represented the march as
one prolonged picnic-a royal good time
We of the Army of the Potomac used
| to feel envious of Shermans boys, and
| wish that our officers GOULD change i long
| tiresome march into q picnic, but after
| reading Lieut.. Branum's very interesting
letters | find that long march, 'toting'
musket and so rounds of ammunition
besides all your PERSONAL property, a chunk
| of pup-tent, etc, was tthe same In Sher
mans army that it was with us.

ber our hardships and the adverse circum
stances to which &e wefe subjected as We
