north-bound freight coming at a
good rate of speed. The trainmen on

could to stop the train and then
jumped. Nobody was injured.
Seven or eight cars were smashed
thoroughly and their freight, which
included grain and apples, wa

The president has granted a full
pardon to Commander McCalla, of the
United States navy, who is now oper-
ating in the Philippines. The captain
was convicted by court martial in
1890 of striking a mutinous sailor
with the back of his sword, and sem
fenced to be suspended from rank and
duty for three years. In view of his
excellent service in the war with
Spain and later in the Philippines, the
president grants the pardon, which
will have the effect of restoring the
captain to his old rank and position.
