FREIGHT
CAR BACKED
IN CELLAR

New York, Sept. is.-school Commits
sioner James Shape did not order any
oats. hay or coal before he went TO his
home at rs Sheffield street Newark. on
Saturday night. His coal bin Is full and
ne has little need OF horse feed.
Shortly after the family retired TO the
upper floors OF his three-story brick
house they were awakened by crash,
which almost Jared the building from
its foundations.
Commissioner Shape looked out OF the
window and found that the Lackawanna
railroad had tried to deliver oats. hay
and coal at his house by the carload
The oraload OF new oats was safely
delivered IN his cellar. the car of hay
was crosswise In front of the house on
the sidewalk and slightly twisted up,
while the iron car containing 100000
pounds of fine coal was standing In the
middle OF Sheffield street.
Something went wrong with the brakes
OF freight train which was being drawn
into The Nesbit street yard OF the rail-
road company. The three cars were flung
into q siding and got beyond control IL
there was brakeman on any Of the
cars he must have Jumped. and Il is
said that he did.
Tho oat car took everything out of the
parior except one picture. which was left
hanging on the wall Chairs. sofa, table
md piano were pulverised and wrapped
up In the curtains and carpet as the car
dived through the floor and completely
buried itself IN the cellar
Nothing was done yesterday toward re-
moving the car Of oats, IL being deemed
best TO consult the building inspectors
and make preparations for bracing up
Shapes house before breaking out the
load from the wrecked car.

Surviving Lieutenant Generals.

The passing away Of General Long
street, followed abruptly by the death
OF General Gordon, has aroused COP
siderable discussion as to the num-
5cT of rcmuining officers of high rank
who served in the troublous days of
the Cos.
Though the number of those who
illustrated southern valor on sanguin-
airy fields during the greatest Of mod
crn dramas is gradually and irrecover-
ably dwindling and the ranks of the
heroic survivors growing pathetically
thinner as the grizzlcd veterans drop
out, leaving gaps that can never be
closed in obedience to any earthly
command, there still remain many
who luminously exemplifed the patri-
otism Of those regrettablc times that
witnessed suoh sweeping carnage and
fell destruction.

Confederacy four rcmain-Stcphen D.
Lee, of Mississippi, who is now 20
years of age; Simon Boiiver Buckuer,
of Kentucky, now in his S0th year;
A. i. Stewart, of Chattanooga, who is
50, and Joe Wheeler, who is 81.
There are Il number of living major
generals, ranging between the veucr-
able ages of General nokc, who is G6,
to General French, now in his Soth
year. The list compiled in 1900 show

Since then this list has been reduced.
The appointments of both General
Wheeler and General Gordon to the
position of lieutenant general were
made during the last few weeks of the
war, General Gordon being the last
Confederate officer to receive this dis
tinction. The formal confirmation of
these appointments by the Confed-
crate Senate was never accomplished.
Both men, however, have since the
war been universally accorded the dig
nifty OF the rank to which they had
been raised and .heir occupancy of this
position has always been as secure
and generally recognized as though
they had received the inevitable in
dorsement OF the Senate, bound in red
tape and adorned with impressive seal
ing wax.
So far as can be ascertained there
are eighty-three Confederate briga-
diers still able to answer the roll call
at reunions, Generals Nancy, jackson
and Speed having surrendered to the
grim reaper during the past four years.
Lieutenant General Wade Hampton,
OF knightly memory, is also among the
distinguished heroes of the lost cause
who have recently gone to bivouao on
the other side.
Though forty years of change and
progress roll between this happy day
and the grim surrender at Appomat-
tox, and though the South has accept
ed long since that heroic verdict, she
yet cherishes in fondest memory the
brave deeds of her sons who then de-
Tended her integrity and many of
whom have since shed dazzling luster
upon the arms of the republic. Though
the peace has come for which Lee
prayed and Grant 80 earnestly desired,
the South can and does, with perfect
loyalty and noble patriotism, do hon

Many Apply for Peanut Concession.

Five hundred persons in St. Louis
and throughout the United States
have made application for the peanut
concession at the Worlds Fair. The
concession has not yet been awarded,
and letters regarding it form a goodly
part of the mail received each day by
the Division Of Concessions.
Each applicant sets forth reason
why he or she, and no one else, should
receive the concession. One man is
q scientific raiser of goobers, another
has handled them for many years, o
third is q former circus man and
others possess ideas which are calcu-
lated to make peanuts the leading fes-
ture Of the Exposition.
At previous exposis;ons the peanut
concession hes been an important and
valuable one. At the Chicago Expo
sition the peanut concessionaire sold
nearly 100000 worth of his wares.
1t appears that every visitor on the
grounds was anxious to consume his
quota Of COOLERS.
Here, it is thought, even more pea
nuts Hill be sold than was the case in
the Windy City. A large percentage
of the visitors at St. Louis next year
will come from the South, where pea
nuts are q popular article of diet.
The grounds will be flooded with pes.
nuts in the shell and salted peanuts,
besides peanut candy ond other pea
nut productions, all Of which will
be controlled by the peanut oouoes-
sionaire.
At Chicago the peanut concession n
man paid to the Exposition something
like 60 per cent Of his receipts, 30
that it can be easily seen that peanuts
as source of revenue to the World 8
Fairs are exceedingly important. Here
the peanut concession will involve
more money than it has at any pre-
vious exposition.
Plans for the concession provide
that the peanuts be sold hot, cold and
in candy. throughout the grounds.
There will be peanut booths, peanut
carts, peanut slot machines: peanut
peddlers, pretty girls selling peanuts,
and goobers dispensed by elderly per-
sons carrying them in baskets.
This years crop Of peanuts was one
of the largest on record, but it will be
severely taxed to supply the increased
demand which will be created by the
Worlds Fair. Produce men in Geor-
gia, Tennessee and other Southern
States are outstanding their supplies
of peanuts, expecting to be swooped
upon by buyers from the Exposition.

Both Astonished.

A bow. apparently neWsboy, with

when a man hurriedly approached,
slipped paper from under the
Youngsters elbow, tossed q coin at
him and then boarded passing car.
Instead of appearing pleased at nav
ing made a sale, the supposed news
how uttered a yell and started up the
street in pursuit of the car, baWllng,
Stop theft" as the top OF his voice.
He caught the car at Ninth street, and
rushed inside. Gimme that! he de-
manded, grabbing the paper away
from the man who had taken 1t from
him.
The boy swung off and walked away
before the astonished passenger had
recovered his self-possession. Then
matters were reversed, for, in his in
dignation, the passenger alighted and
started after the boy The latter made
no attempt ito escape. "You young ras-
cali" exclaimed the excited pursuer,
collaring the lad; what do you mean
by taking that paper away after l
bought it?" Bought nothin'," said
the boy defantly. Il amt sellin' pa
