A BURIED ROMAN CITY.
Discovery in Africa Of Importance to
ArchaeologiSts,

Discoveries Of the greatest Importance to
archaeologists in North Africa, Dougga,
which Is the site of ancient Thugga, are
reported to the State Department by John
C. Covert, United States consul at Lyons,
France a result Of excavations made by
the French director Of the department of
antiquities He says:
IN 1901 and In the spring of 1902 en-
tire quarter Of a buried Roman city had
been laid bare, revealing streets. houses
ard public squares, with numerous monu-
ments. Among the historical objects found
was a mosaic representing driver upon
chariot drawn by four horses who had won
the prize at the games in the circus.
In the autumn of 1902 the work of clear
ing away a number of houses of the Arabs
was commenced, and at a depth Of a little
over twelve feet four metres) large pub
lie square was found and upon it a very
important monument" over which, unfor-
tunately, was constructed the mosque, or
the church of the village.
In another part Of the excavations a
large mosaic was unearthed, representing
the Cyclops forging the arms of Eneas, un-
der the direction Of Vulcan. 1t is one of
the most perfect mosaics which have been
found In modern times and was placed in
the Bardo Museum. These excavations are
being pushed forward with energy, and 1t is
very probable that important historical
monuments will be unearthed."

ped the three rear cars Of the caste
Witnesses Of Horrible Sight.

1.-THE wreckage was forced high up into
the air. and this fact led to what was I'M
doubtedly the most horrible sight OF the
collision. Three persons inextricably
wedged in the burning wreck slowly burn
ed to- death. while the other passengers
looking on in Mortified silence were unable
to render them any aid. We then quickly
took the seats from the cars, piled them
I'D against the wreckage and strove TO
rescue all Of the living we could. Several
of the escapes were remarkable. Two men
were sitting together in the same seat. One
escaped with only a slight cut on the ear,
the other was terribly mangled, and cannot
live A husband and wife also sitting to-
gether were thrown high in the air and
lighted ON top Of a car. When we reached
them the woman was holding up the man.
She was practically uninjured, but he was
in a very bad way and l do not think he
will pull through. There were number
of women and girls in the telescoped cars
and we gave them our first attention We
carried them gently up the bank, spread
overcoats to protect them from the snow,
and secured for them the attention Of a
few doctors who happened to be present.
I'm the excitement it was difficult to as
certain the cause of the catastrophe, but
the general feeling seemed to be that the
engineer of our train was responsible. The
Easton train, which was loaded with pas
sengers returning from business, was for
some unknown reason tagged to stop three
quarters of mile outside Of Westfeld.
Our engineer must have disregarded the
red lights, which should have been his sig
nal that the track was not clear. The fire
man hung CALAMITY to his post and was
found sitting on the bank, but was unable

THE CARNEGIE INSTITUTION.
President Daniel C. Gilman Tells Of
the First Years Work

DR.. Daniel c. Gilman, president Of the
Carnegie Institution and president emeritus
Of Johns Hopkins University, delivered at
Baltimore yesterday afternoon a lecture on
THE Work Of the Carnegie Institution for
the First Year-19O2." Dr.. Gilman ex-
planned that. contrary to popular opinion,
the Carnegie Institution is not university,
II bricks and mortar make university.
Some persons. he said. had applied for
positions in this great university. with its
large buildings and campus at Washington,
as they supposed.
II take IT, he said. that the functions
Of a university are twofold-one Is to ad-
vance knowledge and the other is to train
the youth. The function of the Carnegie
Institution Is to advance knowledge by
means OF original research. hence it might
be called only half a university"
DR.. Gilman told his audience that to-day
one year ago Mr.. Carnegie, before the
President Of the United States and others
in authority, made the official announce
ment Of his intention to found the new in
stitute. Rumors of this intention had been
rife, but 1t was on January %, 1902, that
Mr.. Carnegie made the official verifcation."
The lecturer spoke Of the efforts OF the
directors to obtain suggestions as to how
best to begin the work. To this end prom
inent educators were asked to act as ad-
yisers. Among these were DR.. Remsen Of
the Johns Hopkins and DR.. Simon New
with voluntary suggestions" said DR.. Gil
man. why, all of the money would not
satisfy the astronomers, and the physi-
cists and economists are just as greedy"
Visits were made to all the large univer-
stiles to examine their labora tories and
still 1t was difficult for the directors to
agree upon plan. 1t was decided to let
all the larger undertakings go over till an
other year and expend money on projects
not costing more than $4,000.
The sum Of $4,000 was voted to be ex-
pended In publishing the works Of men
VINO, Tor some reason, are not known to
the public and yet are giants in their pro-
LESSONS. Such case is that Of George s.
Hill Of New York, who DR.. Gilman said Is
practically unknown in America yet II saw
him" said he, receive degree from Trim
ity in England" Another plan adopted Is
to secure research assistants" The pur-
pose Of this is to discover and develop UNI
der competent scrutiny and favorable con-
ditions, such persons as have unusual ahil-
ity, and work Of more advanced and spe-
cial character is expected of all who receive
appointments.
1t is not intended, the lecturer said, to
provide means for a student to complete
his education nor to assist in the prepara-
ton of dissertations for academic degrees.
One thousand dollars is to be the limit OF
emolument, and no limitations are pre-
scribed as to sex, nationality or residence.
Little work has been done along the lines
of furthering the study of the humanities,
for a good deal Of inquiry must be made
before the philologists Of the country can
agree upon plan.

WAS A WAsHINGTONIAN.
Edgar W. Williams, Victim OF Acct
dent, Former Resident Here.

dent, Former Resident Here.
Edgar W. Williams, whose name Is re-
ported among the list Of those killed In the
frightful train wreck on the Jersey Central
railroad last night, Is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. BENJAMIN F. Williams Of 141S 9Th
street northwest, in this city. The father,
who is a clerk in the War Department,
received telegram this morning from his
sons mother-in-law at Plainview. stating
that the young man had been seriously in
jured in the wreck, and asking him to come
to that place at once. Mr.. Williams left
Washington for the scene of the accident
early this morning.
The report Of the death OF young VIII
liams was a sad shock to his family here,
and they are hoping that the telegram
stating that he was injured only may prove
to be true. A message from the father an
nouncing the facts is expected here late
this evening.
Edgar w. Williams is very well known
in Washington, having been born here
about thirty-three years ago. He attended
the public schools Of the city, and was a
captain Of Company C, High School Ca
diets. After graduating from the High
School he became Instructor in mathematics
in the Eastern High School. While teach
ing at this school young Williams also car
ried a course Of study at the Columbian
University, and graduated from the latter
institution about eight years ago. He then
began the study of law in the Columbian,
and received his diploma several years ago.
He went to Porto Rico as secretary of
the evacuation commission, and after his
services in that capacity were ended he
went to New York and began the practice
of law in that city. He resided in Plain
view. N. j.. with his wife and one child.
In addition to his parents the young man
has four brothers and two sisters living in
this city. The family received letter from
him this morning, which had been written
before he left his office in New York to
take the train for Plainyiew last night.
He stated that he was in excellent health
and spirits. The mother of the young man
is clinging to the hope that the reports of
his death are untrue. and that he is only
injured and may recover.

his dealings with his fellow-man He was
frank, cordial and always pleasant In his

his subordinates. Rarely, IL ever, could
any one complain Of harsh treatment or Of

morning and related their experiences,
M. M. Reinhard, a salesman, told this
story:

car was the second in the train. We were
going at least sixty miles an hour when L
felt terrific shock and was thrown from
my seat, as were all the other passengers
in the car The first shock was followed by
a second almost as hard as the first, and
when we came to stop there was on each
side of our car the split halves of another
car that we had literally ploughed through.
Before l could get out a train from Phla-
delphia passed in the opposite direction on
the far track, ploughing through the wreck

into. The wreckage was thrown back upon
us and caught fire. l saw man on top
