A Fireman Killed and an Engineer
Has n Miraculous Escape.

Has q Miraculous Escape.
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. s.-Robert Boyd,
colored, fireman, from Weldon. was killed
at Clopton, q junction Of the Richmond
Belt Line and the Atlantic Coast Line
railway, in a freight wreck about Z
o'clock tonight. Engineer Flippen, Of
Manchester, was injured quite badly, but
not dangerously hurt.
A yard engineer pushed thirty freight
cars on siding. thinking the switch was
closed, but the cars ran out of the switch
at the other end and down a grade on the
main line. They met a northbound freight
train an hour late, trying to make up
time, and the engine struck the wild
train head on, when both were at speed.
The engine was almost demolished and
fifteen cars were knocked into splinters.
Engineer F1ippen was found standing on
his head with his feet resting in the
chains under the firebox. The locomotive
turned somersault and the fireman was
terribly mangled under the ponderous ma
chine. Flippen's escape is regarded by
railroad men as one OF the most miracu-
lous in railroad annals.
The track was blocked and all Coast
Line and other trains north and south
were detained until after midnight, when
the wreck was cleared away.

contestants were disgusted at the end
when it was announced that the only
prizes were two tarts.
The little chapel was crowded to the
doors. For some reason the professional
cake walkers who were expected did not
appear. In their stead four little girls
did cake walk on the stage. while the
orchestra played negro melodies. When
the audience seemed disappointed, w.

like a cake-walker artist The cake was
finally awarded to two children. The pie
