n The Norfolk and Western Cannon Ball
train" due here at 7:2O p. NJ from Nor
folk. was delayed nearly three hours last
night by two freight trains in distress
ahead of 1t, one on the Norfolk and West
ern line east Of Petersburg, and the
other on the Coast Line, near Drewry's
bluff.
The train reached Petersburg an hour
and half late. owing to the breakdown
OF freight train in front of 1t. Again,
5w:ensit reached Drewrys Bluff, n freight
train was lying there helpless. owing TO-
the breakagc OF the draw hcnds on three
cars. The train could not DO moved until
an engine was summoned and sent from
Manchester pushing the helpless train
into a siding and letting thd belated pas
scnger train resume It's cannon ball pro-
clivities.
No damage was done save that to the
freight train, and this was due to the
failure Of the breaks to work, thus caus-.
Ing tho cars to be damned together With
unusual force. The passengers wore MADE
somewhat impatient at the delay, but
we're glad to reach home, even SO late.

II WAS put-that OF erasiDg. pencil

ago, and the first account Of the sub
stance occurs In connection with Co

voyage Most OF our present importd-
ton comes from Brazil. But Colum-
