Seven Men nIled Fourteen w0andsa.

Little Rook, Febr. sry 1b.-S Seven men
wore killed and at ls st II were seriously
injured by a huge bowlder weighing Is
tons crashing into the caboose Of work
train on the Choctaw, Oklohoma and
Gulf railroad, 20 miles west of Little
Rock.
The work train was headed west, the
engine pushing ak cars and caboose.
It was IN charge of Conductor j. II. Gam
pie, Engineer MAJOR and Fireman w. III.
Evans. AS they were passing along the
track under the high bluffs bordering
the river, 20 miles west of Little Maui
melle, the crew saw a heavy rock rolling
with awful velocity down the steep de-
clivity, having been detached from the
hillsides by the rains. The train was
going slowly, but was almost upon the
rock when it struck the track. Engi-
neer MAJOR reversed the engine at once,
but it was so close upon the obstacle that
the train struck IL with almost full force.
The caboose was at the head of the train
and was shivered into splinters. Most
of the zen who were killed and injured
were in the caboose.
There was crew of 81 men, white and
negroes. and they were going to a point
further up the road to clear slight
wreck. There were just back cf the ca
boose three cars of sand and many of
the men were buried underneath the
heap of sand which was thrown forward
by the terrible 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 we're brought to Little
Rock infirmary. One of tho most des-
perately injured died on the way to the
hospital from the depot.
1t is believed there were cthers killed
or buried underneath the sand at the
scene of the wreck, as there are several
missing and as yet unaccounted for. A
Grew of workmen are clearing the wreck
and looking for the bodies.

products of the soil. machinery, manu-
factures, etc.

countries, leaving the rates on American
imports as they are now. This would not
involve the lowering of any duties, and,
OF course, would not decrease Cuban reve-
nues. while at the time it would
give the United States a preference over
other countries in Cuban trade because the
duties on imports from other countries
being increased above the present schedule.
while those American products remain
unchanged. would give the United States a
distinct advantage. Cuba's revenue, in
stead Of being reduced, would be increased,
while the lowering of duties on Cuban prod
ucts imported into the United States would
give her satisfactory entry to the Amer
lean market. A treaty framed on this line
would insure real reciprocity of trade and
be advantageous to- both countries. Other
countries would doubtless protest against
the discriminating duties against them,
but that need not matter. 1t Is the bust
ness of the United States and Cuba to look
out for themselves
