Sunday Pleasure Seekers Killed.

Albany, N. Y, May 20.--Eleotrio oars
racing for switch while running in op-
posite directions at the rate Of forty miles
an hour, cost five lives this afternoon by
terrific collision, IN which over forty
prominent people were injured, some
fatally and others seriously. Five were
killed outright.
The scene of the accident was point
about two miles out of Greenbush, on tho
line of tho Albany and Hudson Railway.
Tho point where the oars met on the sim
gle track was at n curve, and both were
running so fast, and so sudden was the
collision, that the motormen did not have
time to put on the brakes before south
bound car No. % had gone almost clear
through northbouhd car No. II, and
hung on the edge of high bluff, with
its load Of shrieking, manned humanity.
One motorman was pinioned up against
the smashed front of the southbound
car, with bUth legs severed, and killed
instantly, while the other one lived but
few minutes.
With both motormen killed. it was hard
to got at the real cause of tho accident,
but it is pretty we'll determined that it
was caused by an attompt of the south
bound car to roach q second switch in
stead of waiting for tho northbound car
at the first siding.
The cars weigh flfteon tons each and
arc the largest electric cars built. but so
frightful was the crash that both oars
were torn almost to splinters. Both cars
were filed with Sunday pleasure seekers
returning from new recreation ground
that the railway had just opened.'

The Blessings of Flowers.

There is pleasure in seeing our pretty
girl acquaintances wearing at their
corsage the violets or tea roses of our
own raising; there is pleasure in deck
ing our elderly visitors in the modest
splendor of lavender, purple, blush
and white sweet peas; and there is a
hopeful optimism that comes to the
owner of garden when she shares it
with the boys and girls whose homes
are bare Of all beauty. Hopeful be-
cause they are SO grateful for the
little breast knot Of flowers; hopeful,
because even that little thing wakens
love Of the good and the beautiful,
and then to better things. The one
so fortunate as to have a garden is
blessed with the means of comforting
much happiness and doing a vast
amount of real good.-Los Angeles

A Notable Bridge Feat.

In the transportation of logs from
the heart of the California timber
belt to the mills, an important engin-
eering feat has been accomplished. A
canon ON the south fork of the Ameri-
can River had to be traversed. and as
1t was 1000 feet deep,it was determined
to build steel-wire suspension tram
way. The distance across the canon
is 1850 feet. Between the two termi-
nal towers the space is 2650 feet.
Two parallel cables span this i'm
mense gap, without support between
the towers. On these cables runs a
cage conveying a car capable of carry
ing 5000 feet of green, and, therefore.
very heavy, timber on each trip. The
tower terminals are anchored in the
solid rock, supporting the cables, on
which, over the canon of depth of
1000 feet, where the rivers course
seems like rivulet, passes to and fro
the skeleton iron cage, running on
deep-grooyed trolleywheels, and carry
ing its enormous load of green tim
ber with great apparent ease.
