CRUSHED BY A BOULDER.
Seven Men Killed and Fourteen Seriously
Injured On Il Railroad Work
Train,

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 15.-Seven
men were killed and at least fourteen
were seriously injured by a huge
boulder, weighing Is tons, crashing
into the caboose of a work train
on the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf
railroad, 20 miles west of Little Rock.
at ten o'clock yesterday morning.
The work train was headed west,
the engine pushing six cars and a ca
boose. 1t was in charge of Con-
ductor J. r. Gamble, Engineer MAJOR
and Fireman w. Fl. Evans. AS the
train was passing under the high
bluffs bordering the river two miles
west of Little Maumee, the crew saw
a heavy rock rolling down the steep
declivity, having been detached fran
the hillside by the rains. The train
was going slowly, but was almost
upon the rock when it struck the
track. Engineer MAJOR reversed his
engine at once, but the train strucl.
it with almost full force. The CO.
boose was at the head of the train
and was shivered into splinters. Most
of the men who were killed and in-
jured were in the caboose.
There was a crew of "a men, white
and colored. just back of the ca
boose were three cars of sand, and
many of the men were buried under
meath the sand which was thrown
forward by the terrific impact. Six
men are known to have been
killed outright. Three were left on
the scene and three were brought
to Little Rock on the train that was
dispatched to the scene as soon as
the news could be sent to the city.
Fifteen injured were brought to Lit
tie Rock, and are now at st. Vincent's
infirmary. One of the most desper-
ately injured died on the way to the
hospital from the depot.
1t is believed there are others killed
OF buried under the sand at he scene
of the wreck, as there are several
missing and as yet u%naccounted for.
A crew of workmen are clearing the
wreck and looking for the bodies. II
the engineer had not stopped the
train when he died the entire train
must have been hurled down the en-
bankment. Conductor Gamble had a
close call. Two trucks passed over
him, but he stopped down and the
first did not touch him. The second
passed over his foot, crushing it so
badly that it may have to be am
putated.

Do not Jump unless the blaze behind IS scorchlng you. Do not
Jump even then if the hremen are in sight.
Do not go to the roof unless as a last resort and unless you know
that there is escape from it to adjoining buildings. Fire always goes
to the top.
If you have to jump through flame, cover your head with a blanket
and guage the distance as we'll as possible.
Do not get excited, and hesitate a very long time before jumping.
These are the principal rules for safety. There are other safe
guards. You ought to shut all the doors in your house every night
before going to bed. This prevents a draught from carrying fire
through the house. Provide portable fire escapes for the upper stories.
They, however, would in many cases be useless unless all doors in your
house were closed SO as to shut the fire in and allow it to smother for
lack Of oxygen to feed it.
Your home, Of course, is overfurnished. Nine out Of ten homes
are. And extra furniture and draperies make really splendid material
for fire. There would be fewer fires if there were fewer draperies and
window coverings, but to convince the ladies Of the average house
hold Of this fact would be a matter difficult indeed.

The major was sent for and intro
duced to Mr.. Francis. Gen. Corbin

St. Louis and asked whether it would
be acceptable to him. He was SC
surprised at the suggestion that he
asked for time to consider it. He
was not aware that a decision was
made, and that an order was issued
until the information was carried to
him while he was at dinner, Wednes-
day evening at the Portland, where
he has apartments.

RULES FOR SAFETY
IN CASE OF FIRE
BY HUGH BONNER,
For IS Years Chief of New York Fire Department.

O MATTER how busy you may be, give this
article a moments consideration.
1t advises you how to take care OF yout-
self when in danger from fire, and at a criti-
cal m it may save your life. Your life
is worth something, is it not? And remem-
Der | would not presume to lay down these
rules were it not that I have been a fireman
all my life.
Here they are:
Should you hear the cry Of fire. and
awaken to find your room filled with smoke,
KEEP COOL, KEEP COOL, KEEP
COOL.
Open the windows from the top.
Shut all doors.
Wet a towel, stuff it in your mouth and
breathe through it instead Of through the
nose, so as not to inhale smoke.
If the room is thoroughly filled with
smoke keep close to the floor and crawl along
by the wall to the window. Stand there then
and get the benefit of the outside air.

Underground Restaurants.

1t is estimated that more than 49,.
600 New Workers dine every day in
the underground restaurants, now SO
important a feature of the city's life.
In fact, ancient-looking rathskellers
and weirdly decorated dungeons are
rapidly becoming New York's most
popular form of restaurant. Vast
sums have been spent in fitting up
these unusual interiors. There are
dungeon restaurants in New York to
suit every taste. One may dine in
a prison cell, served by a waiter i'm
prison stripes, and be free to leaye
the place when the dinner is over.
Large parties may be served in elab-
crate papier-mache dungeons behind
grated doors. Until recently the first
floor restaurant, with wide windows
looking directly upon the pavements,
attracted the majority of patrons.
Hotel men generally welcome the
change, since it enables them to util-
ize for a general dining-room what
has heretofore been virtually waste
space. In the business section of the
city as well as the fashionable up
town neighborhoods, this preference
for eating underground is very
marked.-Buffalo Commercial.

Washington Post.
Among the obituary notices of the past
few weeks none has brought to the Juvenile
world a greater sense of loss than the
death of George Alfred Henty, whose books
for boys have been read all over the Eng
disappearing world. Not since the Jack
Hazard stories of Trowbridge or the STIR
ring tales of Oliver Optic has writer APP
pealed strongly to the adventure-loving
youth.
he did not write of things with which he
was not familiar. His career admirably
fitted him to be the story teller par ex-
cellence for boys. He thoroughly
equipped in literary sense by a course at
Cambridge He served in the Crimean war
later he became war correspondent in the
Austro-Italian, FrancO-German and Turco-
into Abyssina and Ashanti, and was with
Garibaldi in Italy. In addition to this he
was an extensive traveller on his own ac-
count
He drew from his rich experiences to
enlighten the boys of two continents. That
he succeeded is shown by the enormous
sale of his books for the last ten or twelve
spring, and more than one lad has been
led to a higher and better life by Henty's
books. There was no lack of exciting Incl
dent, but 1t was not of the sort which in
duced boys to go out and try their hands
at holding up trains committing crimes
of other sorts He was the counteractng
influence to the pernicious dime novel.
Stunning the lofty flights of more ambi-
tious authors, he made place for himself
in the hearts of young people, and it cannot
be said that the three-score years and ten
OF his active life were wasted.

Greatness of King Lear.

Algernon Charles Swinburne. in Harpers
Magazine.
If nothing were left of Shakespeare but
the single tragedy of king Lear" it would
still be as plain as It is now that he was
the greatest man that ever lived. AS a poet
the author of this play can only be COM
pared with Aeschylus. The Hebrew pro-
phets and the creator of Job are sometimes
as sublime in imagination and in passion,
but always quite incomparably inferior in
imaginative intelligence. Sophocles is as
noble, as beautiful, and as kindly thinker
and a writer, but the gentle Shakespeare
could farther and higher and wider
and deeper at glance than ever could
the gentle Sophocles. AristOphanes had
as magnificent power of infinitely joyous
wit and infinitely inexhaustible humor. but
whom can he show us or offer US TO be set
against Falstaf or the Fool? 1t is true
that Shakespeare had neither the lyric nor
the prophetic power OF the Greeks and the
Hebrews but then 1t must be observed
and remembered that he, and he alone
among poets and among men, could well
afford to dispense with even such transcend
ent gifts these. Freedom of thought and
sublimity OF utterance come hand in hand
together into English speech: our first great
poet, il loftiness and splendor of spirit
and of word be taken as the test of great
ness, was Christopher Marlowe. From his
dead hand the one man born TO excel him
and TO pay a due and deathess tribute
TO his deathless memory, took up the heri-
tage of dauntless thought, of daring imag-
ination and OF since uneQualed song.
