Piston Rod

Rome, Aug. 15.-Seyenteen persons
were killed and forty injured in a
collision which occurred at Point Sa-
larlo. which is about two hours run
from Rome in the direction of Flor
ence. Owing to the large number of
people who were returning from the
obsequies over the late King Humbert,
the regular train was supplemented
with another. which ran as a second
section of the first. The piston rod of
the engine Of the first train broke, and
that train was brought to a standStill.
Before any warning could be given.

The impact was terrific and the rear
carriages OF the first train were brok-

Peter OF Russia, who was a passenger
on one OF the trains, dispatched an
officer to Rome to secure assistance
and inform the king of the accident.
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena drove to the scene at once. eS-
corted by officers on bicycles. Their
maJesties showed extreme solicitude
in regard to the proper care of the in
jured. and the king remained on the
spot, but the queen returned to Rome.
Among the passengers were many
notable persons, who had been attend
ing the recent ceremonies here, includ-
ing Grand Duke and Grand Duchess

the Turkish mission, who had attend
ed the funeral of King Humbert. They

broken. The police have ordered the
arrest of two men for neglecting to

king in going alone among his people
in order to succor the victims OF the
accident and in driving in a simple
cab with the queen. thus showing, as

A Tricky Dos.

Not long ago very fat spaniel was
introduced into the house where fox
terrier had always been the master.
The latter was told, however, to be-
have well to the newcomer and not to
bully him. SO the two seemed fairly
friendly and In the end got In the habit
OF taking short rambles together.
However. the fox terrier was evident
ly OF thoughtful disposition and on
one occasion came across bank. OF
wall. which was easy enough TO leap
OF. but there was greater difficulty In
returning. The fox terrier sprane
down the bank and enticed his heavy
companion 10 follow. with the result
that the latter could not get back. while
the former. by reason OF his greater &C
tivity. was easily able 10 do.
Now the terrier saw his opportunity
returned home and cruelty left his com
panlon lamcnting. Never did the for
mcr seem happier or gayer than or
that day when he had once more the
sole run OF the house. and he sulkcd
when later on the spaniel had beer
found. assisted up the wall and brought
home.
Since then the fox terrier has repeat
cdly got the spaniel down the same
place. with the usual result. and seems
10 glory In his mischievous act. Wheth
or the fiat dog will learn to avolt
temptation TO such ramble remains tt
| be seen.-Buifalo News.

The city itself owned shares In slave
ship. advanced money for Its fitting
ort and shared in the profits Of its
voyages. This recognition and encour'
agcment may account for the astound
ing fact that In 1850 slaves formed
one-slxth OF the entire population OF
New York. The general prevalence OF
slavery Is shown by the fact that nj
this time there were 81 slaves In New
York's small suburb Of Brooklyn. and
that In London itself there were resi-
dent 10000 slaves.
