PASSENGER TRAIN WRECKED.
Crashed into Pile Of Rocks near
Northfield and Fireman Killed.

Nortnrielu ana Fireman Nlnco.
The northbound night express on
the Central Vermont crashed into a
pile OF rock and earth which had fallen
on the Central Vermont track about 40
rods south of Elbow bridge, between
Roxbury and Mortified, lat 10 o'clock
the morning OF April 3. The engine
and three cars were deraiIed and Fire
man James O'Neil of Mortified was
killed. The accident happened about
mile north OF the scene of the Harlow
bridge wreck OF 80 or 40 years ago.
The train consisted of eight cars
mail, baggage, express, two day coach
es, smoker and two sleepers. 1t was
drawn by freight engine No. S5l, with
Engineer James Lynch of st. Adams
and Fireman O'Neil in the cab. The
regular engine of the train was in the
repair shops and the freight's locomo-
tive was being run as a substitute. The
train was an hour late and was ran
ming about thirty miles an hour. Some
time during the morning quantity of
slate rock and dirt caved on to the
track and Engineer Lynch noticed it
Just in time to reverse his engine but
not 10 slacken the speed to any great
degree. When the crash came a por-
ton of the debris was pushed from the
track, but the engine was derailed and
breaking away from the train, went
over an embankment a distance of
about thirty feet with three cars.
The cars were piled up on the en-
CINE, the train standing almost on end.
One baggage car was smashed TO
kindling wood. A secon nd baggage car
and the mail car were not badly dam
aged. Two sleeping cars did not leave
the track. Passengers in the first
sleeper were Jared but were not in
iured while persons in the second
sleeper felt only a slight jar.
Express Messenger John Connell re-
ceiyed some severe cuts about the
head. The lamp in his car was over
turned but a serious fire was ayerted
by Mr. Council. who smothered the
flames with his coat. The mail clerk
was injured about the knee and the
baggage master was cut about the
face, and was taken out of the wreck
through car window.
The engine ala not OYerturn IN It's
course down the embankment. En-
gineer Lynch had a narrow escape and
was saved by the breaking away Of the
side OF the cab. Fireman O'Neil was
instantly killed. He was caught be-
tween the engine and tender and his
head was pierced by the handle of the
throttle. 1t was impossible to extri-
cate the body from this position and i
was literally cooked by escaping steam.
None Of the passenger coaches were
derailed and aside from severe shak-
ing up none of the passengers were
injured.
Mr.. O'Nei. the dead fireman, was a
well-known Northfeld young man. He
was a son of the late Jerry O'Neil and
left one sister who resides in North
field. He was cousin of Rev. j. 7.
O'Neil, pastor OF the Catholic church
there.

lieve that a tunnel connects the cathe.
dral with the castle of Chapultepec, the
presidential residence, three and u half
miles away, at the end of the Paseo de
Ia Reforlna, one of the finest and no
blest public drives in the world
One Of the historic streets of Mexico
IL Mariscala. This faces the north side
Of the Alameda, the largest and most
fashionable park of the city. 1t was
along this street that the army of Cor
tez. the great conqueror of Mexico,
passed on the dismal night" when he
was driven from the city by the AZtecs.
On this street, too, occurred some of
the most desperate fighting on that ter
rible night. There the Spaniards were
able to do nothing against the tiger-lke
ferocity and fanaticism of the Aztecs.
On the opposite side of the Alameda
is Avenida JuareZ, named after the
great Mexican reformer who had freed
the country from the grinding rule of
the church. This is wide. well paved
street and on account of its width and
its central location is the scene of all
the public professions. especially those
Of civic character. This street is a
continuation of the great public drive.
the Paseo de la Reforma.
Many of the streets have very curious
names. For instance there are the
Street Of the Lost Child. the Street Of
Peace. the Street of the Arts. that of
the Wood Owls. the Deer, Sorrow. the
Sad Indian, the Holy Ghost. Of Christ,
of Jesus, of the Sanctitied Virgin. of the
Purified Virgin. of Death and the Lane
of the Rat. All of these have stories
connected with them. Many of the
streets have names that sound impiOuS
to northern ears But there is no more
thought Of impiety in naming them
than there is in calling boy Jesus. The
Street of the Holy Ghost was original
ly the Street Of the Church of the Holy
Ghost. So on with the other streets
bearing sacred names. This curious. in
! eOngruOuS use of sacred names is to be
! frequently noted in Mexico
The streets of Mexico commemorate
the names Of many famous rulers. They
also record the names of desperate
characters. There is the Street of Don
Juan Manuel. who committed murder
In defense of his own honor. which he
believed his wife had trfied with. Re
port says that the house where he lived
was haunted and for very many years
it remained empty because no one
dared to live in it.
There is also the Street of the Raven
where it is said there lived an old man
who had sold his soul to the devil. Here
he lived with a raven which the COM
mon people believed was the devil in
disguise. One day the old man and the
bird disappeared in the course of ter
rible thunderstorm, leaving behind
them only few feathers and sus-
piclous smell q birthstone. So the street
was called fter the raven because the
people did not wish to take the name Of
the devil in vain.-Modern Mexico.

0ethOds Employed by Some Of the
Stores to Avoid Arrests.
Though there is every appearance in
all the great London shops that the
public Is to be trusted implicitly, an
elaborate and carefully organized sys-
tenn Of espionage prevails to circum-
vent the designs of the peripatetic
thief and the marauding kleptomaniac.
The invisible detective, whose office
ID some unsuspected gallery in the
ceiling. whence from artfully designed
peepholes in the molding he can sur
vey the whole establishment, is the
most successful foil to the shoplifter.
But there are only few shops SO
structurally designed that surveillance
Of this kind Is possible Some of the
jewelers. treasure palaces are guarded
IN this manner, and to make assurance
doubly sure no attendant is without
his satellite who keeps wary eye Oh

eovetousness overwhelms morality most
easily. and the crowded state of the
shops favOrs the picker up Of uncOn-
sidered tritles. A manager Of one Of
the largest establishments in the me
tropolis says II is In those departments
that are not spacious that pilfering
principally goes on and that in them
detective supervision is always most
acute.
Every shopwalker and counter at
tendant is in effect detective, but
there are some professionals who as
sumo the g,lise to hide their real posi-
tion. 1t is the duty Of each attendant
when he is suspicious Of a customer to
call the attention Of the detective to
sign. The detective then keeps the sus-
pect under her immediate eye. In the
large empOriums where women chiefly
congregate the most efficient, because
the least conspicuous. detectives are
women. either employed as shOpwalk-
ers or as customers.
When an attendant misses or thinks
he misses something or notices disturb
ing signs of thievery he speaks to the
detective. who. as an elegantly garbed
customer. seats herself in position
commanding good view Of the srs
pect and makes her purchases like any
other woman. all the while gathering
data upon which to proceed. The dis
guise assumed ny the shop detective
