BURNING
THIRTY-ONE FREIGHT CARS ON
FERR
Two TrainmeR Severely Burned
About Arms.

a wreck occurred last night at one and
a half miles from Furley on the Rock
Island. The real facts of what caused
the wreck could not be ascertained as it
happened about y o'clock il the night.
The engine was turned clear across the
track and the thirty-one cars were piled
on top of each other.
Engineer J. X. Sullivan and Geo. Bur-
bank fireman, as soon as the engine had
settled across the track, got off and went
back to where the cars were piled UP to
see what the wreck amounted to.
Each of the men carried a lantern and
when they had proceeded a short way
a big flame shot up in the air, severely
burning both men about the arms and
hands. It seems that among the cars
were some oil tank cars and the tanks
were filed with gasoline, In the smash
u pthese tanks were bursted open and the
gasoline flowed on the ground. When
the men with the lanterns came, the
fumes of gas arising from the gasoline
on the ground, were ignited, causing
this large flame to leap from the ground.
which burned the two men and set fire to
thirty-one cars.
The train was the second section of No.
fast freight going south. It is said that
all the cars are being or have by this
time been consumed by the raging flames.
The two injured men live at Harrington.
They were taken TO the Wichita hospital
last night.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE RULE OF BROTHERHOOD" q"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A sentence in President Roosevets Message
confirms an impression that has been growing in
my mind during the last few months, that the year
1901 will hereafter be regarded as pivotal year IN
American history-the beginning of distinctly
in its social. industrial and political HE
He says: The rule Of Brotherhood remains as the
Indispensable prerequisite to in the KIND or
national life for which must strive.
The President here UP, in his terse ana
forceful way, the principle which has been gradu-
ally evolving and taking shape since Lincoln Day
of this year. On that day, in address before the
Massachusetts Legislature. Senator George F. Hoar
expressed his conviction that the Golden Rule Is
the only basis for a stable and permanent civilza-
ton. Acting upon this suggestion, the managers
of the Baron and Baroness de Hirsch Monument
Association which formed for the purpose OF
honoring the spirit of the Golden Rule as exem-
plifed by those philanthropists. called meet
ing for discussing the precept. II held in Cal
vary Baptist Church Cthe Rev. r. 8. MacArthurs) 81,
and the Golden Rule discussed by Confucian
(the Hon Wu-Ting-fang), by two Jewish rabbis and
by Christians of different shades of faith. Two
practical steps were unanimously agreed upon by
the vast audience there assembled-CD to organize
a permanent Golden Rule brotherhood (Which was
done a few weeks ater) and (2) to recommend an
annual Golden Rule Day, not only in America but
throughout the world. This idea formally
promulgated from a representative meeting held IN
connection with the Pan-American Exposition at
Buffalo. II also emphasized by the remarkable
Golden Rule spirit manifested By President Me-
Kinley, who as stated in Mr. Roo1e.elt's message.
"eyen in mortal agony uttered words of
forgiveness for his murderer of love for his friends
and OF unfaIterng trust for the will OF the Most
High"
II all earnest citizens OF our republic will en-
phasize the Rule of Brotherhood" President
Roosevelt has done. It scarcely be doubted that
nation Will truly be reborn morally and
spiritually in 1901 as it born politically in 176.

A PROTEST FROM ORANGE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Some of who interested in securing
civilized conditions in this community in the mat
ter of the treatment of contagious diseases read
in this mornings Tribune with a feeling of dsap-
pointment and evaporation. the caption which you
put over the cut Of the Orange Smallpox Hospital.
Just erected, THE Orange Pest House" Why
should a paper of the calibre and prestige of The
Tribune cater the ignorance and misinformation
of the public? Tie institution the cut of which
you give is a comfortable, well equipped and
sanitary hospital 1t is small TO be sure. and a
portable building. but IL Is thoroughly equipped In
every way. a trained nurse is in residence. also
a capa BILE physician who has had many years ex-
perfence in the treatment of smallpox and other
contagious diseases There is telephone connection
and electric lighting. It is distinctly not pest
house" and the Board of Health has decided that
1t shall not be one in any sense
The Tribune can help the cause of clear thinking
and sanity by repudiating the term pest house
altogether There is more necessity for the
modern community erecting pest house for the
treatment of contagious diseases than there is for
Il TO erect a mad house. for taking of the
insane Both are relics of the Middle Ages.

Orange, N j., Dec 10, 1901.
Common usage sanctions the expression pest
