KILLED BY ROCK SLIDE.


ROANOKE. Va, May mime men were
killed and five were injured. three of them
probably fatally. last night by a slide Of
rock in the east end of tunnel No. 2, at
Eggleston Springs. on the Norfolk & West
ern Railroad.
Railroad contractors were engaged in
double tracking two tunnels, and when
the tunneling force had removed the earth
and stone huge slide of solid stone gave
way on the mountain side and came down
at a sharp angle, striking the gang of la
borers at work. One man was in niche
of the tunnelway and was injured only
slightly on the face. The bodies OF the
nine men. some of whom are white, are
still under the rock. The injured men were
struck by the edge of the rock and hurled
to one side. There is no likelihood that the
bodies can be recovered soon, as the rock
will have to be dynamited and removed bit
by bit. This Is considered dangerous, as
the length OF the strata cannot be ascer-
tanned, and there Is imminent danger of a
second crash as soon as the base is re-
moved.
1t has been impossible thus far to secure

This is easier said than done, yet it
may be of some help to consider the
matter. If the cause is something
over which you have no control it is
obvious that worrying will not help
the matter in the least. On the other
hand, if within your control you have
only to act. When you have a cold
and fear an attack of pneumonia buy
a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy and use it judiciously and all
cause for worry as to the outcome
will quickly disappear. There is no
danger of pneumonia when it is used.
