Spreading Rails
Causes Wreck
Little Delay Has Resulted, How.
ever, Between Astoria and
Seaside.

The ditching Of the Seaside train Sat-
uriay evening was caused by the
spreading Of a rail. The entire train
left the track, but only the tender pitch
ed over. Fortunately at the time the
accident occurred the train was moving
At a slow rate, it being the custom Of
the engineer when in that section to
reduced speed on account of the danger
of encountering stray cattle. The mis-
hap occurred so suddenly that the pas
sengers, nine in number, hardly knew
what was up until it was over with.
There was very little excitement and
no one was injured in the least. 1t
was pleasant moonlight night, so
the walk of something over mile into
Seaside was quite enjoyable.
At u o'clock that night the work
train arrived on the scene and the crew
that went with it, together with the
force of section men under A. Dens-
more, went to work Immediately and
by 5 o'clock yesterday morning had
new track built around the damaged
portion. This was done in order to al
low traffic to continue uninterrupted.
The train from Seaside yesterday fore
noon was few hours late, but no fur
ther delays were occasioned. Yester-
day afternoon the coaches were
brought to this city and any repairs
necessary will be made at the round
house. The engine will probably be
taken to the shops at Warrenton ana
there put in shape. The engine is NO.
4 and considering the number Of mis-
fortunes that has befallen it of late 1T
is beginning to be believed that the lo-
comotive is haunted by a hoodoo; The
engine was burned at the recent fire
at the Warrenton car shops, and soon
after being repaired collided with q
switch engine in the local yards.
1t is reported that the track near the
point where the wreck occurred is IN
need Of general repair, which will be
effected without delay.

positions make glad the sacred spot
called home.

The local plant Of the American Can
company is in progress Of being trans
ferred to Portland, where the new fac
tory building was recently erected. The
machinery will be all installed and the
works will be in operation by the first
Of the year. 1t was thought that the
removal could not take place for two
weeks yet, as an extra large order from
California was to be filed. This order,
however was turned over to San Fran
cisco in order not to delay matters. The
new factory will turn out fully twice
as much work as the one in this city.
Besides new machinery. the old plant
will bbe used, A great many of the
hands that have been employed in the
Astoria factory will continue with the
company.

Marriages Of American girls to
members of the British aristocracy
have become so common in the last
decade as to call for no surprise,
though they still draw out columns
and columns of comment But in the
pioneer days of international matri-
monial alliances, each new Anglo
American marriage called out more
than mere comment. There were pro-
tests in almost every case, and from
both sides of the water at that.
These protests were very strong when
the Jerome girls began to marry Eng
lishmen. The whole world still re-
members that one of these girls mar
ried Randolph Churchill, but it may
have forgotten that one of her sisters
married Moreton Frewen, the British
advocate of silver, and the other Jack
Le:lie, who is known chiefly as GEN
tleman of leisure. These three inter-
national marriages did more to con-
tribute to the gaiety of the nations than
any other three in all Anglo-Amer-
lean history, because they made the
late Lawrence r. .Ierome-uncle to
District Attorney w. Travers Jerome
an international figure, and thus en-
abled him to work his peculiar brand
of american humor upon the unsus-
pecting Britishers. 1t is a pity the
present most active representative of
the Jerome family hasn't more of his
uncle's dry fun in his composition.
