1t is said that there is an active germ
of anxiety in the mind of a young man
who works in one of the Water street
hair dressing establishments, and it is
all on account of a fishing trip on which
he went, recently" He made his
headquarters at the home of a relative,
and having gotten everything else ready,
went out to dig some bait. Somehow
in his search for specimens of the
family lumbricidae, he got into a neigh
boris garden, and before he realized
what he was doing, had dug up four
hills of cucumber plants. This worried
him quite a good deal, for cukes are
high this summer, and, in addition to
this, he has heard rumors that action
was to be taken for damages. He was
reported as feeling little better. yes
terday, for his uncle had been in and
promised to replace the plants, and it
is thought that the matter will be
dropped. However, if the young man
goes fishing again, it will be a wise
move for people having cucumber vines
to mark them with a whistling buoy or
some similar device. so that he will not
dig them up in his search for bait.

Master Everett Dow, the 11-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Dow of
Bridge street, cut his left hand very
badly, yesterday morning. He was one
of a group of boys who were playing
scrub baseball in the churchyard
diamond on north State street. In
making a spectacular slide to first, his
left hand struck piece of glass that
lay on the ground. 1t cut a long, deep
and ragged cash in the palm at, the
base of the thumb, penetrating toward
the joint of the thumb and wrist 1t

he has the use of his hand again in
good shape.

Albert c. Smith. the president of the
SUFFOLK Hospital and Dispensary,
Charter street. Boston, Mass, writes
that DIR. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy gives better and quicker help
for diseases Of the Kidneys, Liver,
Bladder and Blood and in acute cases of
rheumatism than any medicine in our
institution. In many instances where
patients were suffering most intensely
and nothing seemed to help them, Fa-
vorite Remedy was prescribed and the
patient cured by it's use. We would not
want to be without it,
There is no question that DR.. David
kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best
and surest medicine for diseases Of the
kidneys. liver, bladder and blood, rheu-
matism. dyspepsia and chronic consti-
patton. as well as the weaknesses pc
culiar to women. 1t quickly relieves
and cures inability to hold urine and
the necessity of getting up a number of
times during the night and puts an
end to that scalding pain when passing
water.

STORM WRECKED
FREIGHT TRAIN
Downpour of Rain Broke
Dams Of Lakes at Glen
Allen.

Freight train No. 212. north bound, of
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac road. was wrecked at t:2o o'clock
yesterday morning at Glen Allen, and
Engineer c. Nj. Keeton, Of Richmond,
was slightly injured. Six cars were en-
tlrely derailed and more or less dam
aged while as many more partially left
the tracks The locomotive was turned
on one side, and the main line to WASH
ihgton was blocked for six hours.
Indirectly, the wreck was due to the
heavy rains Sunday afternoon and night,
and terrific hail storm which accom-
panied the downpour. The fail of water
was sufficient to overflow the lakes on
the property OF Captain Cussons, causing
rush OF water undermined the track,
causing the wreck. There was no serious
washout,
The lakes are situated just to the north
of the Richmond, fredericksburg and
Potomac tracks. and are Of considerable
Nze. fortunately, however, the bank OF
the north track Is practically on Il level
with the lower part of the dams, so when
they gave way, allowing the water to
flow, there was no great force exerted
against the roadbed of tho nailrond.
Otherwise big wnshout would have re-
suited and the damage would doubtless
have been much greater
1t Is surmised the dams broke some
time before the freight train reached
Glen Allen, and the water, standing about
the bank, soaked In and softened the.
earth, making 1t too weak to sustain the
weight OF the heavy locomotive and
train OF cars.
