Fred Diamond, the brakeman on the
P. & E. who fell from the train near
P. & E. Junction a few days ago, Is
said to be making a good recovery.
He was just in the act of stepping
] from one car to another when the
train parted and he was thrown in
front of the moving section and in
some manner was caught by the brake
beam and carried distance of three
or four car lengths before the train
J was stopped by the air brakes. The
train was running at the rate of about
thirty miles an hour when the acct
dent happened, and it was the great
est wonder he was not ground to
pieces.
Four of the boys implicated in the
recent burglaries spent the night in
Jail last night. Perry Bones furnished
bonds and vas released and is at work
again as usual. In justice to this boy
it should be said that while he was
induced to take part in one or two of
the first raids made by the boys, he
deserted the others some time since
and has not taken any part in their
recent acts of lawlessness. He is an
industrious boy and more through
thoughtlessness than criminal intent
was he induced to join them at all.
Some of the boys have been reading
trashy literature which partially &C
counts for their acts.
A notable feature of The Criterion
is an article-A Trip Through Mon
golia and Si5eria-by Countess Mar
guerite CassinI, daughter of the Rus
sian ambassador to the United States.
When a very young girl the Countess
Cassini took a most unique trip
through the countries of Siberia and
Mongolia-before the days of the rail
roads, when journeying had to be in
various man and horse drawn We
hicles. The youthful traveller jotted
down her impressions Gin an old and
weather beaten note book" as she
says. These "reminiscences the Count
ess Cassini has prepared especially for
The Criterion, with the addition of
some rare and curious photographs.
1t is difficult to express the charm
the writer has woven into the story of
her wanderings in strange lands; the
account is extraordinary, vivid and in
teresting. 1t is the writer's purpose
to contribute to the Russian Red Cross
society the proceeds from the article.
