lutte accuracy is achieved in the
forecasts of the Weather Bureau.
Failures are sometime made.
But the forecasts are based upon
scientific principles, such as are
held to be true by the highest
meteorological authorities in the
world, and in the main the fore
casts are accurate. The purpose
of this article is not, however, to
praise the Weather Bureau, but
rather to discourage reliance
upon the predictions of irrespon-
sible lOng-range forecasterS who
have no other means of securing
information on which to base
long-range forecasts than has
the Weather Bureau. Would it
not seem strange that the body
of intellectual men composing
the Congress of the United
States should cOuntenance and
give financial support to an insti-
tuition, at the head of which
were men incompetent to diScov-
er or use principles upon which
to base lOng-range forecasts, if
a single man could be employed,
at a comparatively nominal ex-
penSe, to furnish accurate fore
casts not only for two days in
advance, but for a year in adv
anCe? These men have nothing
more on which to base their long
range forecasts than is in the
possession of the Weather Bureau,
and the Weather Bureau is, at
present time, unable to make such
forecasts.
Even though at some time in
the future it should become
practicable to make long-range
forecasts, it is scarcely probable
that these would be of very def
mite character. The forecaster
would probably not be able to
say regarding a given day, six
months or year in the future,
just what would be the tempera-

Tuesday Nights Accident.

Mr.. William Bayliss, engineer oil
passenger train No. 80 of the Southern
Railway, which was in the accident a
few miles this side of Charlottesville
Tuesday night, was resting easy this
morning. His injuries, however, are OF
serious nature. Fireman johnson,
who was on the engine with him at the
time of the accident, was out today.
His injuries were trihing. Mr.. Bayliss
remained on his engine when 1t shot on
the siding and by closing off the steam
and applying the air brakes he virtually
saved the train from destruction. Inc
train was running at the rate OF forty
FIVE miles an hour when it approached
the switch. and when it was seen that
the white light was displayed, there
was no attempt made to slow up. The
side track where the accident occurred
can accommodate three or four cars,
and one gondola had been left upon It,.
When the engineer saw he was leaving
the main track and was rushing toward
the fat car he made no attempt to jump,
but in the twinkling of an eye closed
the throttle and applied the air brakes
simultaneously. OF course it was impos-
sible to check the train materially in about
50 yards, and the engine struck the car
with terrible force. The fireman, who
was equally on the alert, ran back into
the tender when he saw the collision
was inevitable and held on for his life
while he awaited the shock. He had
but a second to wait and the force OF
the collision threw him back into the
tender. The impact sent ton or more
of coal on top of him, burying him al,
most out of sight, and he was compelled
literally to dig himself out. Further
investigation substantiates the theory
that the collision was caused by train
wreckers, and that the switch had been
disconnected by person familiar with
/ its mechanism.

Charge Against Husband.

A colored woman, wife of George
Washington, living at 22l north Henry
street, sought Lieutenant Smith today
and told him a strange story. 1t was to
the effect that her husband attempted to
chloroform her night or two ago, and
that had she not awakened he would
doubtless have succeeded in his attempt
to cause eternal sleep. The woman
stated that her husband purchased the
drug in a certain store with the evident
purpose of administering it to her. she
said, however, that she made no charge
against her better half and did not want
him arrested. The lieutenant later visit
ed the drug store the woman had spoken
ofand learned that Washington did pur-
chase ten cents worth of chlorOiorm a
few days ago.

A meeting OF the Board OF Police Com

sided and all the members of the board
w,re present.
There was no business OF public inter-
est transacted, although the session last
ed about an hour, during which time
there was an interchange of opinion con-
corning matters in relation to the police.
Mr.. Graham called attention to the
newspaper reports of the examination OF
the case of Wren and Burnett, who were
recently arrested while in charge Of goods
which had been stolen from railroad
cars. He referred to the fact that Com.
monwealth's Attorney Brent excoriated
Officers Lyles and Arlington for the
manner in which these officers proceeded
when they ascertained the whereabouts
of the stolen goods.
Mr.. Lawler said these officers exercised
bad judgement in the part they played,
to say the least.
Mayor Simpson thought the Common

ures, but suggested that inasmuch
case had been sent on tothe Cor
on Court he would not PREJUDICE
alter.

duty at the station house.
