Cry of Fire.

The engineer and fireman of the
freight, when they saw collision was
inevitable, jumped from the engine. 1t
was in this manner that they reviewed
their injuries. As soon as the engine
struck, there was a hurried search for
injured passengers, but fortunately
there appeared to be none. 1t was
then thought that the loss was not
great, but suddenly the Cry of fire was
heard. The smoldering embers from
the wrecked engine had set fire to the
coaches, and within few seconds it
was beyond control. The massive pile
Of elegant coaches and the huge engine
were soon completely destroyed, and
the fire spread rapidly to the new sta.
ton. This was also burned to the

Clearing Up the Wreck.

When the fire had spent its energy,
and it was seen that none OF the pas
sengers were injured, the trainmen
gave their attention to the clearing UP
of the wreck. The passenger engine
was not injured and it was hitched in,
to the one coach which was left and il
was dragged short distance from the
wreck and turned over in a slight gull
ly along the track clearing the rails
for the passage of trains. Two
freight cars which we're completely
demolished were also dumped of the
track. One of these was loaded with
lard, and its contents scattered all
around made slippery and dirty work
for those engaged in clearing away the
debris. Outside of these two cars
none of the other freight cars were
damaged to any great extent.
Cause Mystery.
How the wreck could possibly occur
is mystery to the railroad men who
have examined the spot. A straight
piece of track extends northward fol
some distance from where the wreck
occurred and there can be no doubt
! but that the rear end of the passenger
train could be seen far enough away

Alarm Given.

AS it neared the station, however, it
was seen that it was running very fast,
and there was wild scramble for
safety. One of the trainmen gave the
alarm and a number of people who
were in the coaches were enabled to get
out on the ground. There was sick
ening crash as the huge freight engine
struck the rear car This crumbled
up like finder and the big monster
plowed its way clear up to the next
car. The third car checked the mo-
mentum of the engine, but it was COM
pletely demolished, and the next car
ahead was thrown from the track.

under too much speed. 1t is said this
was his first trip over the road. Pas
sengers who were on the train say the
freight was running at terrific rate Of
speed when it struck and it is mir
acle how any of the passengers escap-
ed with their lives. Both trains were
very late and had been running fast to
make up time. The passenger train
passed the freight at Udell, and was a
few minutes ahead when it arrived at
Moulton. 1t had barely stopped and
the passengers were getting on and off
when the freight train hove in sight.
Nobody paid any attention to it, how
ever, as everyone supposed it was I'm.
der full control.

unpopular when It meant the protection Of
herds OF cattle. On trips Of the last kind the
comforts of the soldiers all sacrificed to the
convenience OF the cattle, whose condition de-
pended on the quality OF the grazing and the
amount OF the water supply.
General Forsyth also deals with the frontier
forts, old and new. He describes their arrange
ment, their positions of danger, the life that
went in them and goes in them now. the
days routine in of them, far as military
duties are concerned in particular and, last of
all, the characters to be found in them. Having
carried his account up to this point, General
Forsyth proceeds to tell about the Indian
troubles on the Western frontier, which sprang
up Immediately after the Civil War. OF the
Civil War itself he makes mention. With a
brief discussion of the relation OF the people
and the soldier. General Forsyth brings THE
Story Of the Soldier to end. The book Is
timely. It is simple. comparatively complete,
and is written in popular style.
The Generals other book Thrilling Days in
Army Life" contains detailed account of his
remarkable fight on the island in the Republican
River; the story of AN Apache Raid" and two
chapters on events in the Civil War. The first
of these. ''Sheridans Ride" is thrilling, indeed.
General Forsyth of the aids who ac-
companied General Sheridan and helped him 70
turn defeat into victory His picture of the
roads and of the field of battle in the Shenan-
doah is remarkably vivid. He notes the small
details such as the men STOPPING to tie their
shoestrng before a charge which help to make
such things real In the last chapter Of the
book. "At Appomattox Court House." he con-
tinucs to note details still of an interesting
character. His description Of General Lees ap-
pearance just after his meeting with Grant is
affecting.
