was on the return run from Lynch
burg to Charlottesville. Rockfsh
station is midway between these two
points and the track there is a single
one. Engineer Hale had orders to
get out of the way of the fast pas
Senger train, but for some reason
which has not yet been explained he
had oyerstayed his time and had fail
ed to take siding so that the pas
.senger train could pass. The trains
came together with horrible crash
and a fearful scene OF panic ensued
when the occupants of the cars real
lied what had occurred.

Engineer Mccormick, who was a
passenger on the freight train, was
going TO Charlottesville to take a
train south at the time he met his
death. The engineer of the freight
escaped without injury.
Later advices from the scene of the
wreck are that the freight train,
which was on the main track, had
been there six minutes longer than
the orders directed when the collision
occurred.

Rome, July 1O.-The following bull
letin was issued last evening:
The general condition of the pope
having become depressed, a consulta-
tion was held at 4 o'clock with the
participation of Prof Rossoni. From
objective examination it appears that
the liquid is again rapidly gathering
in the pleura. The sounds of the
heart are weak without any symp-
toms of yalvular lesion. The pulse
is easily compressible and it has 80
pulsations instead of 60. which is nor
NAL The breathing is superficial
and at long intervals. The Kidneys
are not performing their regular
functions. The state of his holiness
is considered grave"
Rome, July 11.-Another operation,
performed yesterday, has brought
further relief to Pope Leo and by it
the possibility of his life being pro-
longed was increased. but it can
hardly be said that the operation inn
proved his chances of recovery News
Just received from the Vatican says
the pope is now lying in a restless
condition after having had q good
sleep during the early hours Of this
morning.
E'he extraordinary confusion pre-
yailing at the Vatican outside the inn
mediate vicinity of the pope's sick
room is demonstrated by the remark
able neglect to make even the most
ordinary preparations for the inter-
ment of Mgr. Volpini, the secretary
of the consistory and canon of St.
Peters. who died suddenly on Thurs
day. Usually the funeral of so high
an ccclesiastic would have been a
prominent event in Rome. but yester-
day it was completely forgotten in
the shadow of the greater impending
loss to the church.
