Dover, Del, Dec. 2.-An explosion of

freight train on the Delaware division OF
the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington Railroad today caused two and
probably three deaths, the injuring of a
number OF persons, the wrecklng OF sew
eral buildings and a number of freight

The explosion is thought to have resulted
from spontaneous combustion. The burn
ing fluid was scattered in all directions
Fifteen cars were wrecked, three of which
were destroyed by fire and several build
ings near the railroad caught fire. En-
gineer B. w. Shepherd, of Wilmington,

article came in for roast from Kilgo and
his followers.
The contest from beginning to end was
quite a sharp one. In his opening speech
Kilgo said that much of the trouble had
been made by newspapers, some Of them
inspired by hostility to him and the col
lege. and that but for these publications,
he contended, but little notoriety would
have been given to what he characterized
as the useless and foolish utterances Of
Bassett.
The faculty sent in a lengthy communl-
cation, disapproving the utterances, but
making a plea for freedom Of thought.
Kilgo said the students disapprove the ar
ticle, but wish Bassett to be retained.

EFFECT OF TEACHING
Some Of Trinity Students lmbibing
the False Notion That the College
was Attacked, Lynch a Stuffed
Figure Labelled Jose
phuS Daniels.
(Special to News and Observer }

Durham, N. c., Dec. 2.-Shortly after
the announcement of the decision Of the
trustees of Trinity College to reject the
you-shall- have f-you-nsist-on-it resigna-
ton of Professor Bassett, number of
students with loud shouts and cries,
rushed to the campus and proceeded to
relieve their wrought up feelings by hang
ing in effigy Mr.. Josephus Daniels, editor
of the News and Observer.
One of the students had climbed into the
bell tower and started the bell to peahng,
and good sized crowd had gathered be-
low. Then the march for the campus be-
gan and in a few minutes figure was
swinging from the end Of a limb with a
scrap of paper pinned on the breast an
nouncing that it was Editor Daniels,
whose paper. the News and Observer,
had led the anti-Bassett fight.
The scene was one of great excite
ment. The air rang with shouts and
cries. 1t looked as if the students had
been impressed with the idea that it was
the college and DR.. Bassett himself that
were attacked, instead of the doctrines
that had been promulgated by the pro-
lessor. They, therefore, looked upon the
decision of the trustees as triumph over
a common enemy, and the shouts and
yells, the building of hon fires and the
hanging of Mr. Daniels in effigy plainly
revealed the spirit animating them.
All through the hours of the early
morning the figure swung from the limb
over the race track. The grey dawn
came and found it still hanging there.
Soon after, however, it disappeared. Some
hands had taken it down.
This was a fitting close of the triumph
Of ''liberality of thought and freedom of
speech as seen in the Kilgo policy OF
rule or ruin.

New Bern, N. c., Dec. 2.-The jury in
the case of Williamson against the South
ern Railway rendered verdict today for
the plaintiff for six hundred dollars. 1nls
is the case reported in Tuesdays papers
as being for failure to make connection.
w. D. McIver, attorney for plaintiff,
said today that the action was not for
missing connection nor being late, but
because the railway monopoly stopped
its train, scheduled from Wllkesboro to
Greensboro at Winston and ordered all
passengers, including the plaintiff, off and
for this the plaintiff demanded and has
received punitive damages. The court
excluded all evidence as to fees lost by
the plaintiff by not reaching his home
court.
