Narrowly Escapes Collision.

The train on the w. A. and Mt. Vernon
railway which leaves Alexandria at 6:15
am. crowded with employees of the WASH
ington naval ordnance foundry and other
mechanics coming to their work here, had
a narrow escape from collding yesterday
with the runaway freight cars which were
wrecked where the tracks of the Alexan-
dria line leave the Long bridge and go up
14th street. Just as the electric train was
leaving the bridge Motorman Edward
Groves saw the cars coming down the grade.
He put on all the power his motor had and
jerked his train across the steam tracks.
The rear coach had barely cleared 1t when
the freight cars crashed together and top
pied over. Had the electric train been a
quarter of minute later, the loss of life
might have been large.

THE LIBEL EDITORS JOB.
How He Earns His Money on One
of the Big New York Dailies.


New York, Aug. 13.-There is a story
going the length and breadth of Park
Row, where the journalists of New
York most do congregate, of new ed
itor lately installed on the staff of one
of the most obtrusive of the twentieth
century newspapers.
This functionary is entitled "the libel
editor" He was set to work, of course,
because the bright young men on his
employers paper had got so careless
in their statements of fact that suits
for libel We're altogether too frequent.
The young man who fills the place is
a lawyer who came here from the West
looking for a chance to build up met
ropolitan practice. Just how he fell in
to the job of libel editor has not yet
transpired, but it is understood that
he was very glad to get it, and also
that he is working very hard to fill
the bill completely. In truth, he must
work hard to do so, for he cannot pos
sibly perform his task without read
ing every line of proof prepared for
the paper ever night.
Newspaper men alone can under
stand what that means, and newspaper
men alone can understand what
nuisance the sort of supervision he ex-
edcises must be around a newspaper
office. In this case the libel editors
word is above the word of anybody
and everybody else even the manag
ing editor, and the way things are
changed every night, especially head
lines, at the last minute, in the office
of the newspaper in question, is said
to be heartbreaking. 1t is said, how
ever that the paper now prints only
small percentage as many apologies
and retractions as it did, and that the
libel editor is, therefore, considered a
good investment by all concerned.
