Lord Roberts has asked the British
soldiers TO return TO the BOet families
the Bibles they took from them dur
ing the South African war. This has
been denominated a Christian act on
the part OF Lord Roberts. II may be,
but il the soldiers return the Bibles II
will be an honest act; and there are
many other things "taken many
of us know the meaning Of the word

be returned to their righ5iol owners,
aud Lord Roberts might extend his

CIRCUS TRAINS COLLIDE
Rear Section Crashes Into Forward
One at Full Speed.
rweNrYTHREe PERSONS KILLED

Several Animals Were Killed In the
Crash, Which Was Caused by Fall
ure OF Air Brakes TO Work Prop
erly.
Durand. Mich. Aug s.--An air brake
ON the second section OF Wallace
Brothers circus train refused To worh
In the Grand Trunk Railway yards
here. causing a collision between thv
two sections In which % people were
killed and over score injured.
The circus travels in two trains oil
about IS ears each. When the first
section pulled into the west end oil
the Grand Trunk yards here a RED
light was hung on the rear car TO
stop the second section Engineer
Probst. who was running the engine
of the rear train. says he saw ine
light and applied the fir brake. To
his horror it refused to work he re-
versed his engine but the momentum
of the heavy train behind was too
great and with a crash that aroused
all of the town near the yards me
two trains met Three cars oi the
stationary first section We're telescop'
GA and the engine and five cars OF
the moving train were demolished.
The rear car OF the FIRST section was
a caboose IN which the trainmen were
slceping. and the next two were iiilei
with sleeping circus employees. Inc
greatcst loss of life was tn the ca
boosc. one OF the wrecked ears %
the second section was occupied by
five elephants and several camels. one
of the elephants and two oameis were
killed outright. while the other ami
mails and their trainer escaped. NitA
the exception of this car none OF me
menaeerie was wrecked the other d.
molished cars containing canvas or
wagons. and there was comparatively
little excitement among the wild ami
mails. As soon as they recovered from
the first shock the trainers rushed
among the cages quieting the Few
beasts that we're excited The cle-
infants in the wrecked car behaved
with surprising calihness. and were led
out OF the wreck without trouble.
The escaping steam and screams
and cries of those pinned in the wreck
made a borrifying spectacle. Many
feared at FIRST that some OF the menag'
erie had escaped as some Of the AMI
mails could be heard crying. The res
cuers could see unfortunates through
the tangled wrockago and went iuri-
ously 10 work without waiting for
fools 10 evtricatc them. \ wreckins
crew Is kept in the yards here and IL
was on the scene in very few min
utes bringing tools and Equipment in
plenty The dead. many OF them
so terribly mangled that ideniil'
cation seemed well nigh impo5-
sible. were carefully laid on the
green sward a short distance from the
scene. Six of the injured died az the
hospital When the wrocking train
crews had finished pulling 10 pieces
the tangled and broken cars Il deal
men were lying on the grass awaiting
removal 10 the morgnc a majority
Of them were killed while asleep.
This is the second wreck that tho

RURAL FREE DELIVERY ROUTES

RURAL FREE DELIVERY ROUTES.
We notice every day or two in the
dispatches from Washington where
rural mail routes are being establish
ed in various counties OF this State,
and in this connection il would seem
advisable for our country friends in
the counties adjacent to Fredericks-
burg so make some effort to secure
the benefit OF this service. Solar not
a single route has been established in
Spotsylvania, Caroline, Stafford,
Orange or King George, nor does
such o route exist, so far as We have
been able To learn, in a single county
of the First or Eighth Congressional
District. The latest Virginia route
TO be arranged for is one in Scott
county. where free delivery will be-
Gin on September 10Th. The advan-
tages OF free delivery to the farmer
are so manifest as To need no dem
onstratiOn here. This system, in
connection with the telephone, brings
the farm in close touch with the city
and makes communication doubly
quick. We feel sure that we're the
effort made such routes could be Sc
cured for our neighboring counties,
and We commend the idea to the
leading men Of these counties, be-
lieving that they are public spirited
enough TO take the matter up with
the proper authorities.
