FREIGHT CAR GOES
THROUGH STORES
Loaded With Cement, 1t Fell
from the c. & o. Via
duct.

A box car loaded with barrels Of ce-
ment. which was being drawn from Full
ton over the spur yiaduct OF the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway. Just south OF
the Main Street passenger station, yes
te,day. jumped the rails, and after bump
Ing along over the stills for some dis
lance. plunged off the high steel viaduct
and crashed into the rear OF the two store
houses on the south side OF the street
just east OF the viaduct, crushing them
In and precipitating one end OF the car
into the bed of Shockoe Creek. The acct
dent occurred about 1890 yesterday after

In by the plunging car are No. l543. oc-
cupied by the Union Clothing Company,
and No. 1545, by Joseph johnson. shoes
and trunks, etc, and both owned by j..
s. Moore.
The rear of these houses, which is COM
posed OF corrugated metal, was partially
crushed by the impact of the car. one
end of which seems to have fallen on the
higher building, No 1913, and the lower
upon the extreme rear Of the next one,
which is story lower. The car then
plunged downward, end foremost and
when 1t came to a stop one end was rest
Ing against the nearest building and the
other in the creek bed. while the bottom
of the car was turned upward. Fortu-
and 80 no one was injured, there being
nobody in the portion Of the two build
ings crushed. The weight OF the barreled
cement caused 1t to burst through the car,
and 1t fell into the creek.
Two other cars we're derailed, but did
not leave the viaduct. The forward truck
Of the car that went over the viaduct
rested In the smashed portion OF the john
son store. The other truck fell some dis
lance from where the car came to a rest,
smashing a small foot-bridge.
The car is badly damaged, but can be
repaired. The trucks had been hoisted
back TO tho track yesterday at dusk, and
workmen were engaged in preparations
to hoist the manned car. Much Of the
cement had been rescued from the creek
and from the car. where 1t Lad been
scattered in picturesque confusion. Oc-
cupants Of the two buildings received a
good scare. but none had even "a marrow
escape" for they were not near to the
crushed portion of the two structures,
The damage to the two stores Is slight
only tho edge Of them being cut through.

The program committee decided
to dispense with the literary part
of the program for teachers associ-
alton next time and just have our
Reading Circle Work, in order that
we might be able to catch up with
our years outline.
There is no reason why every
teacher that attends these meetings
cannot be able to recite on this
work when called upon. The work
is for you teachers and why not get
the good out of it. Don't put it off
until the last week to prepare it.
The work is not deep and any teach
er with few minutes time will be
able to prepare this and assist in
making our meetings more intrest-
ing.
Teachers in the school room know
how hard it is to create interest un-
less pupils prepare their lessons.
Just so it is with this work.
We will assign questions to the
following teachers:
Distinguish between the study les
SON and study recitation-Nellie

were cited by DR.. Chadbourne and
what are added by Hinsdale?-

Recent developments indicate that
Senator William A. Harris of Kan

This belief is based upon remarks

president and urged the senator's ap-
pointment.
They say the president has prac-

Harris, but of course will not make

not as yet made provision for these
appointments.
