Especial Dispatch to The Times)
DANyILLE, VA, May ia small
wreck. in which nobody was hurt and
only a flat car was demolished. occurred
at the passenger station of the Southern
Railway in this city early this week. The
accident was the result Of a number OF
cars running together Immediately IN
front of the station. i
It has been ascertained that the expense
of heating the public scnool buildings
here during the SESSION nearing its close
was S99S.40. Of this sum s56s5S was used
by the Loyal Street school, which is heat
ed by steam the other four schools using
stoves 1t may be proper to remark that
the Loyal-Strect school is larger than
any of the others; but still the cost OF
heating the building is unproportionate
The cost per pupil 1t the steaEl-healeo
building is Il cents. while the average
cost per pupil at the other four schools
is little less than % cents.
NOT CONCLUSIVE:
It might not be safe to assume that
these figures. prove anything coh-
clusively as to the best and most ecc-
nomical way of heating these buildings.
1t may be that the appliances in use n
the steam-heated building have not been
so perfected and managed as to furnish
a satisfactory test.

here this week, known a 8 the Eiolland
