Horse Carried zoo Yards by Locomotive,

 Columbus, Ga. Nov. 13.--(Special )- A special train brought to the city at [ o'clock this morning the passengers on last nights Southern Railway pas senger train from Atlanta to Columbus which was wrecked four hundred yards south of Cleola. Ga. last night at S:l5 o'clock. None of the passengers were hurt, the first-class coach and the Pull man car having remained on the track, although the engine climbed six-foot embankment and turned over on its side and the baggage coach and smoking car left the rails and lay against the side of the cut.
 The wreck was a most remarkable one in several respects. Just north of Mulberry Creek trestle the engine struck a large horse which had stroll ed on the track with his harness on, having just been unhitched from a buggy. The engine pushed the body of the horse along the track for fully 400 yards before the locomotive and cars were derailed. and during that time crossed a trestle between 150 and 200 yards long Bits of harness and horse flesh were scattered along the track for that distance. The obstruction finally caused the engine to jump the track, and the momentum sent 1t up a

To Awaken when You wish.

St. Louis e-Democrat.
 We hear it frequently asserted that If persons will impress the thought firmly upon their minds and continue thinking about it until they have fallen asleep that they desire to awake at a certain hour in the morn ing, they will do so without fall" Dr. Joseph l.. Boehm tells me. ut how many people have tried this method of insuring prompt awak- ening at a given hour in the morning only to find their rest throughout the night disturbed and uneasy?
 "The brain will usually respond to the will and awaken one in the morn ing near the desired hour under any circumstances. but to prevent the un- broken, uneasy sleep the adoption of only very simple device Is necessary. The last thing before getting into bed take watch or clock and turn the hands to the hour at which one wish es to rise and gaze at this just long enough to fix the hour firmly on the retentive memory. Then, If no other absorbing thoughts intervene between that and the moment one is locked in slumber, the nights rest will be easy and unbroken. and promptly at the hour in the morning, as a rule, one will find ones self released from sleep ana wide awake. There Is no need to keep thinking of the hour continually for number of minutes. no need to repeat 1t over and over in the mind all this makes the brain uneasy and results in the disturbed slumber. simply look at the watch or clock as l have indicated, and the influence of the mind oyer matter will be clearly demonstrated in the morning. Try it some night and observe how smooth ly this physchological fact works.

 Fruit vendors did a profitable business, as the noon hour and afternoon passed without a chance to satisfy hunger in a more substantial way. After bananas were passed the claim agents took advantage of the good feeling prevalent among the discomfted and hungry pas sengers and were more charita- bly, received and more leniently handled.

Ernest Theodore Phillips has succeeded in passing James Edward Wilmans, who has been in the lead for some time, and is now setting the pace, Wallace Dutton is again coming to the front and rounds the 500 mile post, ranking fourth in the totals. Little Miss Henry shows a remarkable gain, and passes her sisters in the race by quite an easy margin. She may show the boys yet that for sweetness, beauty and popularity combined, the fair sex must ever be taken into account.

WH0E TO BLAME

Nd Determined By Coroner's jufy iin Inquest Over Body 0f Dead Fireman, .Har- vey Wells.

thelengineer at his post of duty
 ina noble attempt to save his
 tain and lessen the loss of life
 and limb to a hundred passen-
 grs in their joint keeping, as sS9aey lay exposed to view in a
 Highboring field to the scene of EHe terrible catastrophe, await ling the arrival of the proper A Derson to take them in charge, f made the heart of many a fellow I workman and outsider well up in resentment of the carelessness } 0f another responsible in meas lure for his death.
 Coroner Frank Harrison of lTuckerman reached the scene fshortly after the, wrecking train from Newport and the body of Harvey Wells was conveyed to { Hartease, where 8 jury was en- panelled and evidence introduced showing the cause and manner of the wreck. The jury did not fix the blame, however, and re- turned a verdict merely stating how the fireman came to his death.
 The remains were brought to the undertaking rooms of k. F. Drummond late in the afternoon and there prepared for shipment that night to Poplar Bluff, where interment took place.
 No fault can be attached to the passenger crew, for they ',5were running in accordance with orders and without knowledge of the imminence of danger. Even then the fireman and engi- neer had about four car-lengths in which to leap, but they pre- ferred to stay at their posts and reverse the air.
 The fagman on the freight had been sent forward three-fourths of a mile to Swifton and there did his best with what he had, to stop the oncoming train. But according to the regulations he should have carried three torpe- does on his lantern and used these on such a night, when the fog prevented the transmission of lantern signals. The smoke and fog made this duty impera- tive on such a night, and even though he did all he could with lanterns and allowing for the fact that his fusee failed to work at the critical time, he can hardly escape the responsibility for a wreck, miraculous from the fact that so few passengers were ln- iured when only two rear sleep \ers were not completely demol- {shed.
 DENSITY OF FOG.
 To one who has not recently visited that center of raging for est fires the density of smoke and fog is inconceivable. At the Boas hotel in Hoxie, the front fence, only a few feet away, could not be seen from within, and at Swifton on the morning of the wreck people standing on the porch of the Jones hotel, thirty yards from the track, could not distinguish light on the train that was soon to plunge through a moving freight, and had knowledge of the train pass ing only by the rumbling.
 SETTLING WITH INJURED.
 As previously stated, the claim agents were soon upon the scene of the disaster, and as delay of ten hours ensued before a train left for the south ample time was given these adjusters to settle all claims.
 To the credit of the railroad company let it be said that they
