Trains Collide W hilc Running Under
ground in New York City.
Fifteen persons were crushed, burned
and scalded to death Wednesday in a
rear-end collision in the New York Cen
trail Railroad tunnel in New York City.
The list of injured includes more than
twenty victims, number of whom are
said to be fatally hurt Smodering
flames, smoke and utter darkness added
to the horror of the wreck.
The trains in collision were an accom-
mediation on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford road from Norwalk, Conn,
and a suburban on the Harlem branch Of
the New York Central The NorwalIS
train had stopped on signal, and while
awaiting orders to move was struck by
the Harlem train, which came tearing
through the darkness of the subway. The
two rear cars of the Norwalk accommo-
dation were telescoped and the tunnel
was blocked with wreckage, from which
were heard the screams Of the injured
and dying. Escaping steam from the
wrecked engine of the Harlem train
scalded and suffocated q number of vie
tins before assistance arrived After
the first few moments of darkness the
wreck caught fire, and the living who
had escaped in the first shock Of the col
lision were threatened with a more bJr-
ribe death.
All the ambuanees in the city were
summoned and the work of rescle was
begun in the face Of great difficulties

John Alexander Dowie, who would not
swear in Judge Tuley's court at Chicago
that he was the second Elijah, loudly pro-

preliminary step to his change of resi-

giving up the old Central Tabernacle in
Michigan avenue and establishing fifteen
minor tabernacles in different sections
of Chicago.
Il am tired of this unjust taxation,
shouted Dowie to his followers. Chi

other churches of this city. and | will

Facts About the silo.

Silage is as valuable in summer as in
winter.
Thirty pounds a day is enough silage
for an average sized Jersey COW. Larger
cattle will eat more.
A cubic foot of siIage from the middle
of a medium sized silo will average
about forty-five pounds.
Fifteen feet in diameter and thirty
feet is good depth. Such a silo would
hold about 200 tons of silage cut in half
inch lengths.
Silage comes nearer being a perfect
substitute for the succulent food of the
pasture than any other food that can
be had in winter.
Corn just passing out of roasting ear
stage is the best single material for ST.
lage Corn and cowpeas are the best
combined material
A larger amount of healthful food for
cattle can be preserved in the silo in
better condition. at less expense of la
boz and land, than by any other method
known.
The circular silO, made of good, hard
wood slaves, is the cheapest and best.
For 1S2 days, or half year. an aver
age Jersey cow win require about six
tons of silage, allowing for unavoida-
bic waste

money which the farmers have received
is being used for the payment of mort
cages, the extension of barns and sta

A notable feature of the reception was
the cordiality with which the President
greeted Gen. Miles. The general, magni-

of army officers. President Roosevelt
gaze him more than a formal greeting,
shaking his hand warmly and chatting TO

passed from the line he was the center
of interest for several minutes. He soon
left, however, for his home.
Admiral Dewey also received warm

snecialty Farming.

1t is not intended to advise the man
who is successful in general farming
to take up some speciality and aban-
don the other crops, but only to urge
those who have succeeded in growing
some one crop better than another and
marketing it at good profit, to extend
that crop and decrease the area given
to the others. In this way one may
gradually work into speciality farming
in an entirely safe way and not let go
of the other things until he gets firmly
established. AS a rule. it is not wise
to depend wholly upon one crop. espe-
cially if it is grown without artificial
aid. nor does it pay to give up the en-
tire farm to few specialties, for suf-
ficient stock should be kept to consume
the food which should be grown for

and the product of the stock or the
