SMALLPOX WORK
 OF ANIMAL LIEF
DISCOVERY OF A NEW GERM THAT SERVES TO CONNECT IT WITH MALARIA AND DISTINGUISHES IT FROM BACTERIA.

Boston, April 2S.--Announcement of the discovery of a new germ of smallpox was made tonight by Dr. William T. Councilman, professor Of pathology in the Harvard Medical school at a meet ing of the Boston Society of Medical Science.

NO JUSTIFICATION

BrOher-n-Law of Major Glenn Makes Hot Reply to Repor of the Commanding General Which Relates Atrocities
 Practiced in the ohIippnes-A Remarkable Spectacle

you had taken the trouble to read the sworn testimony in the last trial of Major Glenn, I think even you would have been conscious that the charges of atrocities which you so reeklessly lay upon our officers are nothing compared to the cru- cities of the Fillpinos.
 Tn conclusion let me suggest that not even your prejudice against the admins tration or the well-founded impression that you went to the Philippines to find fault with the existing conditions, Is a sufficient justification for the general of a great army, which has gone through untold hardships and privations. to an nounce to the world upon heresay and un- sworn testimony that hls brother officers. graduates of the finest of all military schools. are unworthy of the uniforms which they wear"

Washinton, July S.-Twenty- three
persons were killed and nine persons in
jured in head-on collision on the Vir-
ginia Midland division of the Southern
railway at Roclfish. Va. at IL minutes
after three o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Passenger train No. 35, leaving Wash
ington at 11:15 a. NJ. for Atlanta, Ca,
dashed into local freight No. 6S, stand
ing on the main line of the road at that
point, wrecking both engines and the
baggage and express cars of No. 35. The
senger coach Immediately following 1t
telescoped. The coach was occupied
mostly by colored people.
The freight train was in charge of
Conductor Brubeck and Engineer Hale.
and at the time of the accident was on
the return run from Lynchburg to Char
lottesville. Rockfish station is midway
between these two points and the track
there is single one. Engineer Hale
had orders to get out of the way of the
fast passenger train, but for some reason
which has not yet been explained he had
overstayed his time and had failed to
take siding so that the passenger train
could pass. The trains came together
with horrible crash and a fearful
scene of panic ensued when the occu-
pants of the cars realized what had oc-
Cured
Later advices from the scene of the
wreck are that the freight train, which
was on the main track. had been there
for six minutes longer than the orders
directed when the collision occurred.
1t is estimated here that there were
in all probability 100 passengers on the
train. including those from Boston and
intermediate points.
