TRAIN Takes
AWFUL Plunge
Engineer Undertakes to Round 4
Curve Near Danville, Va, at
High Rate Of Speed.
Locomotive Leaves Track and with
Coaches PlunGes from a Trestle rs
Feet High-Nine Men Are Killed
Instantly and Seven Others Are
Injured.

Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 28.-While
running at high rate Of speed train
No. 81, on the Southern railway, the
south-bound fast mail train, jumped
from trestle rs feet high, half a mile
north of Danville, Va, Sunday after
noon and was almost demolished. Or
the crew Of 16 men, including mail car
riers, on the train, nine were killed
and seven injured.
The trestle where the accident oc-
Cured is 500 feet long and is located
on a sharp curve. Engineer Broadly
was new man on that division of the
Southern, and it is said he came to the
curve at very high rate OF speed.
The engine had gone only about SO feet
on the trestle when 1t sprang from the
track, carrying with it four mail cars
and an express car. The trestle, a
wooden structure, also gave way for a
space of 80 feet. At the foot u the
trestle is a shallow stream with q
rocky bottom. Striking this the engine
and the cars were reduced to a mass
of twisted iron and steel and pieces OF
splintered wood. All the dead men
were killed instantly, 1t Is thought, and
all were greatly mutilated. The skin
and hair on the engineer and fremen
were torn off by the impact Of the
steam engine.
All unofficial opinions that have been
ascsrtained agree in giving only one
cause for the wrsek-the high speed OF
the train on the sharp curve. Train
No. 81 was running about an hour be-
hind time. 1t is thought that the en-
gineer, being unfamiliar with the road.
did not take into consideration the
danger of coming on the curve with
such great velocity.
The mail bags In all the mail cars
were torn open and the letters and
packages were scattered, but 1t Is be-
lieved none is lost. Fire, which ap-
peared in the wreekags shortly after 1t
occurred, was quickly extinguished by
the Danville fire department. In loss
OF life this is one Of the most serious
wrecks that has occurred on the
Southern, and 1t Is the third time that
the fast mail has been almost entirely
demolished On account Of the wreck
all traffic on the central and northern
divisions Of the Southern will be at
fected. 1t will take several days to re-
pair the damage to the trestle.

Crops Look Favorable.

Fine crop conditions throughout
the country presage a continuance
of good times. When the farmer
Is prosperous, the rest of the coun-
try has nothing to tear. A -four
ishiug condition OF agriculture
means a large purchasing power
on the part of the farming COM
munity. This In turn means a
ready market for the products Of
other Industrial classes. A few
weeks ago the oats, hay and corn
crops In this section looked any
thing but promising. However.
rain came In the nick of time, and
now these important crops promise
to yield abundantly.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Most kinds Of fruit trees thrive best
in rolling lands.
If mildew appear on the rosebushes
dust with sulphur.
The garden must be mellow, rich and
kept clean. This is the inside secret OF
successful gardening.
An application of hard wood ashes
will supply the soil with the potash sc
necessary in growing small fruits.
Bone meal is an excellent garden
fertilizer, but it does not give immedi'
ate results unless dissolved with acid
The longer an orchard is kept in cul
tivation and crop taken off the great
err becomes the necessity of liberal ma
nuring.
The greater portion Of the roots of
the grapevine grows near the surface
For this reason the cultivation should
be shallow.
In the garden especially one Of the
drawbacks to the termination Of seeds
is that they are often covered with too
much earth when planted. Usually
the smaller the seed the less covering
is required.
