After the accident. Sharp found him
self alone in what was left of the cab.
Gibson, the fireman, had jumped just
before the two trains came together.
Sharp's engine was demolished. The
floor of the cab had been partly car
ried away. and the first thing Sharp
remembers after the accident was that
there was no floor under his right foot.
With lis weight on his left foot and
hanging on to the lever, he waited IN
til the steam that enveloped the debris
had disappeared. He had no difficulty
then in picking his way out of the
smashed timbers and iron.
The engineers first action was to
hunt for his comrades. He found
James Woolwine who was almost IN
recognizable. The poor fellows face
was crushed and he was smeared with
blood. He was fatally injured.

England Has Seven WI Never Wore
Royal Insignia.

philadelphia North American.)
The coming coronation serves to re-
call to everyone familiar with English
history that there were several queens
of England, just seven of them, in fact,
who were never crowned.
Margaret Of France, the young sec
Ond wife of Edward I, was obliged TO
forego all the spIendors of such a pa
geant because her royal husband, for
sOoth, couldn't afford the expense of a
coronation.
King Henry VIII took most of his
wives without giving them the cere-
mOny Of a coronation. But in his case
there were so many Of them that his
course might have been deemed a wise
economy. Besides, he spent so much
the once he did go in for queens
coronation, that of Anne BOleyn, that
it is small wonder the money fell short
for the ladies who succeeded her, Jane
Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine
Howard and Catherine Parr.
Henrietta Maria, the young and pref
ty wife of Charles /, went without a
coronation, not from necessity, but
from choice. Being a French princess
and a Roman Catholic, she declined to
take part in a state function which
would oblige her to partake of the sac
rament according to the Church OF
England rites
Caroline of Brunswick was denied
the pleasure Of a coronation, not for
financial reasons, nor for religious
principles, but because her spouse,
George ", particularly specified that
he wouldn't have her share in his
honor. When he was crowned he
would not even permit her to be pres
ent at Westminster Abbey 10 see the

Westinghouse to Employ British.
Oondon TelegraphD

Mr.. George Westinghouse stated to our
Manchester correspondent yesterday that
for their place now in course of construc-
ton at Manchester his company would
find employment for 5000 workmen, and
would depend almost exclusively upon
British labor. Touching the important
question of low prices German manufac-
turers are quoting for electrical contracts.
he said the reason for this was that Ger
man works were closing down for want
of orders, and they were cutting down
prices to secure trade.
