ACCIDENT NARROWLY AvERTED
Trucks Of Engine Gave Way Q
Trestle Near Troy.

BY the fraction of a second a tragedy
was averted on the Atlantic Coast Line
between Montgomery and Troy about
o'clock yesterday morning.
Train No. 81 due in Montgomery from
Jacksonville at $40 a. m, had left Troy
on schedule time and Engineer Watt
Jewell with engine Sic, was hurrying on
to the end Of his run In this city. There
was no thought of danger and every
thing was running smoothly. The pas
sengers back in the Pullman cars were
getting ready for the arrival at their des-
tination, and Conductor Cogburn was
checking up his tickets. few miles
north Of Troy there 10 a trestle about
twenty feet high and just as the fast train
ran on the bridge the front trucks Of
the engine fell. Parts OF the woodwork
of the trestle was crushed and ties were
splintered and torn up as IL they were
so much paper. BY miracle. however,
the Orders and main structure held the
weight of the coaches and heavy Pull
man cars behind the engine, the entire
train getting safely over the trestle.
AS soon as possible after getting the
train over the trestle Engineer Jewell
stopped his machine. The broken trucks
were lacked UP as well as possible and
the train slowly made it's way to Mont
gomery. arriving here about o'clock. five
hours late.
The marvellous part of 1t was that not
a single part of the train left the rails,
and beyond the delay and broken trestle
the damage amounted to nothing.

Permanent Muscular Strength.

There is this to be borne in mind in
these days when so many young men
are giving so much attention to physi-
cal development, in gymnastic and
athletic exercises, that there cannot be
permanent muscular strength where
there>is not blood strength.
Hoods Sarsaparilla gives blood

hol, finally rubbing into the face and
neck very little Ianoline or cold
cream.
Many dermatOlCgists recommend a
steaming for the face about once in ten
days as an effectual means OF cleans
ing the skin of it's dire enemies, the
blacks and smuts. C re must BE- taken
by those who adopt this drastic method
to close the pores of the skin after the
steaming by applying a small quantity
OF diluted spirit. If the skin is very
rough and dry, then it had better be
cleaned sometimes with cold cream and
and clean, soft rag.
Tnls cannot, of course, take the place
OF soap and water, but can only be
used as an occasional alternative. If.
on the other hand. the skin is apt to
get greasy, flour the face with a little
superfine oatmeal for an hour after
washing, carefully wiping it off at the
end of that time. There is nothing
more refreshing when you are tired or
overheated than a thorough sponging
of face, arms and neck in warm milk
and water. 1t should not be forgotten
that if We do not wish to get our skin
chapped and hardened we must take
care never to go out in the cold air for
at least an hour after washing our faces
in warm water, SO as to give the pores
times to close UP.
Although there are many good soaps
now in use, which cannot possibly harm
the normal skin. yet there are excep-
tionally thin skins so delicate that any
dermatologist would at once recognize
that any form Of soap, however super
fine, would at once set up irritation and
soreness. For these ceses, when all
soaps must be avoided as poison, an
excellent substitute can be made with
lemon juice, which is both cleansing
and at the same time refreshing.-Lon-
don Standard.

SITE FOR THE EPOSITION.

The jamestown Exposition will be
held on the Sewell Point site nearest to
Newport News, the location for which
the representatives of this city have
most strenuously commended, and the
site which, in view of all circumstances,
is the proper one.
There should never have been a
doubt as to the proper site. The right
thing to do has been so obvious that, it
has appeared to us, the delay has been
unreasonable and it has to some extent
prejudiced the public, which has Won
dered why the committee has been so
long doing the one thing left to it to do.
However, the selection has been made
at last and it remains only for the
board of directors to ratify the choice
of the site and executive committees.
We congratulate the company upon the
choice and the people of both sides of
hampton roads. The site that has
been selected Is eually convenient to
Norfolk and Newport News, Ports
mouth and Hampton. 1t is, moreover,
eminently suited to tire requiresents of
such an exposition as will be given by
the company. On this score it is need
less to remark further. Much has al
ready been said. Other Ioca lions never
have had a legitimate claim upon the
consideration of the company.-New-
port News Press.

the witness said that he had examined

A check-docking boss employed by
the miners, and a timekeeper and an
engineer employed at collieries in the
upper coal fields were next called and
testified that they were unable to get

nesses testified that he and another man
were notified that they could not get

The commission then adjourned until
tomorrow.

sion made by the miners but the Coke
company's time was extended until to-
morrow, the officials of the company
being absent and not prepared to make
answer.

Fourteen Men Suffer Death-NO Fire
Escapes on Front.

Chicago, Dec. A-Fourteen men met
death by suffocation this morning in a
fire which occurred at O'Clock in the
Lincoln hotel. l67 Madison street. Thir-
teen of those who lost their lives Were
stified while lying in their beds. One
was taken from the building before life
was extinct, but died in the ambulance
on the way to the nearest hospital
Coroner Traeger, after inspecting the
building, united with Fire Chief Mush-
am in declaring it to'be Veritable trap
and that it never should have been
used for hotel purposes. Chief Musham
declared that there were such wide
cracks in the floor that the smoke
poured through the building in clouds,
rendering escape extremely difficult for
those on the upper floors.
There was no fire escape on the front
of the building, although one was in
process of construction. The scaffOld
ing was up and from it daDgled sew
eral ropes, down which a number of
people slid to the pavement after all es-
cape by the stairway had been cut off.

The hotel was four stories in height
and contained an unusual number of
rooms for hotel of its size. After the
fire Chief Musham, of the fire depart
ment, declared that they were the
smallest rooms he had ever seen in any
building. Had there been fewer parti-
tons, he declared, the chances of life
for those sleeping on the upper floors
of the building would have been great
ly increased.
F. A. Smith, proprietor of the hotel,
declared that there We're, as nearly as
he could Judge. without his books,
about 125 people in the hotel. 1t was,
in fact, filled to it's utmost capacity,
and many applicants for rooms were
turned away last night with the in
formation that they could not be ac-
commodated.
