nade a Fast Run.

Engineer Thomas Jones made a re
markably fast run from Driftwood to
Remove yesterday afternoon with train
No 6. The distance is about u miles
and the train arrived in Driftwood
twenty minutes late. There are many
small stations between Driftwood and
Remove at which nearly all accommoda-
ton trains may be stopped. Besidss
these, work on new bridges compels
slow down at each of these structures.
With the Penna. Railroad company,
good time consistent with safety to pas
sengers is everything. Yesterday Mr..
Jones made up fifteen minutes between
Driftwood and Remove, arriving here
only five minutes late. This included
all of the stops between the two points
as well as slow over bridges. A report
er for The News was on the train when
this remarkable run was made and had
his attention called to the fact that a
record was being made. In some
places a mile was reeled off in less than
minute, yet the tracks are in such an
excellent condition that many of the
passengers did not know it. Conduc-
tor Geo. H. Moore had charge of the
train.-Renovo News, 5th.

An Interesting Transaction.

The Cross Fork News tells of Tame
rack man who closed up startling deal
the other day.
1t seems this man had a mule for
which he had no particular use. Final
ly he found which he could trade the
animal for young lady, plump and
pretty, but the father of this charming
armful of divinity decided that he
should have some difference and know
ing that the owner of the mule had a
quantity of turnips he concluded that he
could dispense with his daughter in ex-
change for the mule, provided he could
get ten bushels of the aforesaid turnips
to boot. This was staggerer for the
owner oft the mule, but after due deliber-
alton he made up his mind that five
bushels and the mule was all he cared to
part with to secure the dear sweet thing,
and here the deal stood for some time.
Finally, each being anxious to make the
exchange, they agreed to split the differ
ence and so seven and one-half bushels
of turnips and the mule were given the
papa of the girl while she accompanied
the former mule owner to his home.

Many old people are lame,
nearly all are weak.
Worst of all, is that feeling
of 1anguor, of inability to act,
of weariness at trihing exertion.
Nothing will make the old
young again, but Vinol will
prevent 80 out of 100 old people
from feeling so old.
There is no humbug about it.
We found out about Vinol, and
tried it every way before we
decided to put it on the market
and guarantee it.. Now we
believe that almost any tired,
discouraged old person who
will take a bottle of Vinol and
use it as directed will feel better
right away.

MIDNIGHT FIRE ROASTED
SEVENTEEN HORSES ALIVE
HORRIBLE FIRE AT THE LIVERY STABLE OF
WILLIAM II. COLLINS ON FISHER STREET.
Broke Out About Half After One O'clock Mon.
day Morning and Burned all His Horses
Hay and Feed and a Buggy.

One of the most horrible fires
which has occurred in Smyrna in a
long time broke about half past one
o'clock Monday morning in the livery
stable of William H. Collins, the horse
dealer, and roasted seventeen of his
driving horses alive, besides buring
his stock of provender and a buggy. The
loss which Mr.. Collins places $1,000 is
covered by insurance amounting to
$1,000.
The stable is situated on Fisher
street in the rear of the residence of
DR.. Thomas G. Moore. The origin of
the fire is mysterious. While on his
way home from Smyrna Landing,
Samuel Shelton saw flames shooting
out of building in the southern sec
tion of this town, and he FASTENED to
the scene as fast as he could. He was
the first to arrive and seeing nothing
could save the stable he ran
to the Town Hall to give the general
alarm. Charles Weller, who lives in
close proximity was awakened by the
distressing cries of the horses and was
soon on the spot.
No one reached the stable in time to
let the horses out, and in agony indis-
scribable they burned to death in their
stalls. The Fire Company gave quick
and valiant service, and though they
could not save the stable, they kept
the fire from spreading to other build
ings. They were favored by a north
west wind which probably saved 6
number of stables in the rear Of
Main streel, to say nothing of the
buildings and machine shops of Boyer
& Company. After day break many
people visited the scene of the confa
grafton and viewed the CHASTITY sigh
of seventeen horses which had beer
roasted alive. Since Mr.. Collins came
to Smyrna, he has lost twenty eigh
horses. One of the seventeen that wal
burned Monday morning belonged Mr.

MILFORD'S SUNDAY SCHOOL FOUNDERS.
Remarkable Coincidence In That all the
Original Founders Are Living.

The celebration of the 10Th anniver-
sary of the Milford Methodist Sunday
School recently has called the sing u
lar and wonderful fact that the pro-
moters of the Sunday Schools of the
different denominations of that town
are now living in Milford Mrs. Ann
T. Draper, founder of the above-named
school in 1897; Mrs. Hester Angelina
(McColley) Marshall, of the Presby-
terian School, in 1916; Miss Mary Wal
lace, who formed the Episcopal School
Peter F. Causey, establishing the
Chapel School 43 years ago, and B. F.
B. Woodall, who has labored so long
as superintendent of the First Baptist
Sunday School. These are wonderful
coincidents and probably without a
parallel in the whole United States.

DEATH OF WILLIAM B. COLLINS.
Passed Away Saturday Afternoon From an
Attack of Neuralgia of the Heart.

William 3. Collins, one of our we'll
known citizens died at his residence on
South street Saturday afternoon, from
neuralgia of the heart from which he
had been suffering for several days.
He was in his 80 year. Mr.. Collins
first felt the attack while attending
divine worship at the Presbyterian
Church the Sunday previous, and was
taken to his home where be never left.
Mr.. Collins was one of the representa-
tive citizens of Smyrna. He came from
Milford IN 1886 and entered the mer-
chant tailoring business which he car
ried on until he took up the hardware
business from which he retired ten
years ago. He married in the early
forties, Maria Layton, daughter of the
late John Layton, and widow of the
late Robert Denney. Two children
were born to them, Miss Mary Che
shire Collins, who survives him, and
Mr.. Harry L. Collins, who died IN
1890. Mrs. Collins died in 1891.
For thirteen years Mr. Collins was a
Town Councilman, had filed two
terms as Alderman for the town of
Smyrna. and served one term in 1874
in the lower branch of the General AS
sembly. For thirty-five years he was
an elder in the Presbyterian Chnrch.
Interment took place in Odd Eel.
lows cemetery yesterday afternoon,
his pastor, the Rev. j. l.. Estlin, Of
ficiating, assisted by Rev. Vaughan s.
Collins and Rev. T. H. Haynes.

PEACH BASKETS PRACTICALLY ABOLISHED.
Action of the Peninsula Horticultural So.
ciety at Berlin, Nd. Last Week.

The old five eights peach basket
used by fruit growers of the peninsula
for nearly half century, was practi-
cally abolished Friday by the action of
the Peninsula Horticultural Soci-
ETY. at Berlin, Md. At the same
time the farmers made peace with the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and for the
first time in years will work in har-
mony with the railroad. The abolition
of the peach basket is to secure
cheaper, safer shipments. During the
morning session Charles E. Kingston,
freight agent of the Philadelphia, Will
mington & Baltimore Railroad, read a
paper before the society on ''Transpor-
tation and Marketing of Perlshable
Products" The latter in his address,
said: During the past season there
were 627 Philadelphia, Wilmington &
Baltimore ventilated cars equipped
with shelving, and the cost of so equip
/ ping these cars was in access of $25
per car, or a total cost of nearly $16,
| 600. This does not include what cars
might have earned had they been avail
able for shipments other than peaches
in fact, it is impossible to accurately
figure the cost to the railroad com
pauy. Since establishment of all
brakes on freight trains and fas
schedules, the uncovered tOp-heavy
basket is about the poorest package
that can be used for transportation o
perishable freight, owing to its liza
bllity to upsetting, thereby damaging
the fruit. A package similar to th'
Georgia carrier is the ideal package fo
shipments of peaches as they can b
easily handled and slowed, and will
much less expense to both shipper
and railroad company"
