New Equipments.

The Southern Railway Company is
receiving a new order of coaches for its
passenger service. These coaches are 70
feet in length and they are said to be the
largest regular coaches used by the sys-
ten. Tic coaches are equipped with
everything that modern railroading de-
mands. The Southern has erected nine
telegraph towers along the new double
track between Orange aud Alexandria,
which with those that have been in
use, will give it complete block system
with telegraph Offices every seven miles.
In addition TO the Geographic work, the
men in the towers will throw all switches
for the trains that take the siding near
where the towers are located. 1t is ex-
pected that the double track will be in
nse the entire distance from Orange TO
Alexandria in few days. This IS one
of the best pieces of railroad any where
in the country and by far the best in the
entire South, and its completion means
great money saving to the company rs
we'll as considerable more safety tor pas
sengers. -1Lynchburg Advance.

Thrilling Scenes.

A dispatch to the Paris Temps from
Liaoyang, dated Sept. 8, but delayed in
transmission, graphically describes the
panic which occurred when it became
known that the town was to he abandon
ed. Thecorrespondent says: "a crowd
Of people rushed toward the depot. |
was standing in the reireshment room Of
the station when three japanese shells
burst in succession about 80 feet away.
Many persons were killed and Sister Of
Charity WIS wounded. The people were
terrified and fed, leaving their baggage.
Chinese plundered the trunks and valises
and Cossacks grabbed the stock ofcham-
pagne,in the,refreshment room. Military
trains continued to leave the depot reg
ularly. / left at 2 o'clock for Yental,
where a battle with General Kuroki had
already begun. A Russian officer who
held back the first japanese assault on
Liaoyang told me that he never saw
such fury. The Japanese hurled them
selves in masses against the barbed wire
defenses aud fell into trap bitches, but
they continued their steady advance.
At Yentai General Kuropatkin has the
disadvantage of being on a plain, while
Kuroki has the advantage of being on a
position on the crests Of the neigh
horinp hills.

A Three Years' War.

An official of the japanese Legation
in an interview in Paris yesterday said
he expected that the battle deciding the
future of Man,huria would occur at Har-
bin, as General Kuropatkin's fight had
been too hurried to permit him to in
trench at Mukden. Owing to the dis
lance Of Hardin from Mukden-about
325 miles-and the approach of winter,
the battle, the official added, would
probably not occur before spring. In
the meantime, if Russia desired peace,
she would be able TO open negotiations,
but the japanese government would
never make the first proposition for
peace. The reported japanese peace
terms we're mere individual speculation,
as japanese government circles are not
considering peace. They are calculating
that the war will last three years, and
are making preparations accordingly,
leaving Russia to make the first over
lures. The Paris Temps quotes an
''eminent Russian" which is under
stood to mean an official of the Russian
Embassy, at Paris, as follows: "Russia
will never make the first proposition for
peace. Furthermore, she will entertain
no proposition for intervention, even if
it comes from the powers having the
greatest sympathy for her ana which
She considers her friends. This is the
unalterable determination of our Emperor
and government"

BABY Struck by a Ball.

An infant while in its mothers arms
was painfully, if not seriously, injured
on Pitt street, near Queen. this morning
by being struck on the head by a base
ball thrown by boy. Blood flowed
freely from the little ones face, and the
incident caused considerable excitement
in the locality. The ball came through
a window into the room where the mother
was seated with the child. Every neigh
borhood is infested with boys and in
many cases men who persist in throwing
balls in the streets. In some localities
games are conducted in public thorough
fares, and it is a common occurrence
for balls thrown with considerable force
to strike the ground, house or fence
in close proximity to the heads of babies
seated in carriages. The attention OF
the authorities has often been called to
this dangerous pastime and the police
have often broken up games and stopped
ball-throwing in the streets. Parents
should aid them 10 the work.

Killed on the Rail.

The southbound Wabash passenger
train which left Des Moines for st. Louis
at GAO yesterday morning was wrecked
near Pendleton, Mo-, sixty-six miles
northwest of MOberly, Mo-, killing nine
passengers and iDjuring fifty one
others. The train, which was composed
of an engine, baggage aud smoking cars,
day coach, diner, and Pullman sleeper,
was we'll filed, it being estimated by
Wabash officials that there were about
400 persons on board. The train was
running above scheduled speed when the
accident occurred. The day coach left
the track, and, breaking loose from the
baggage and smoking cars, plunged
down a forty feet embankment, dragging
the diner with it. The Pullman did not
leave the track. The heavy dining car
crashed on top Of the coach, and the ma'
iority of those killed and injured were
Messengers in the latter. The cause OF
the wreck has not been determined, but
il is thought that a broken wheel derail-
al the day coach. The train was one
bour late at Warrenton, Mo-, aud was
said to have been running 60 miles an
hour.
