Head.On Collision.

% A head-on freight wreck occurred on
the Norfolk and Western at 8 o'clock
Yesterday morning at Midvale, short
distance north of Buena Vista. Walter
Hite. fireman, aud Brakeman V. H..
Dene we're killed outright, both being
manpled and scalded to death by escap-
ing steam. Engineer james Buck, OF
Harrisburg, Pa, was badly scalded and
his condition is very serious. E. r..
Argenbright and G. f. Kohler, of Roa-
noke, we're slightly injured, being cut
and bruised. Foreman Henry Mason,
of Roanoke, was scalded and otherwise
injured and there is doubt as to his re-
covery. The two trains met on sharp
curye. Both were "doube-headers, q"
one being southbound extra and the
other running as second No. SO. The
trains were running at rate OF 70 miles
an hour and neither crew saw the ap-
preaching engines until they we're with
in 80 yards OF each other No one had
time TO lump. The shock was so great
thai dozen cars in each train were
telescoped, crushing to death the front
brakeman and one fireman. Death was
instantaneous, as the escaping steam
from the locomotives literally roasted
the victims to death. The accident was
apparently due to the fact that Engineer
Buck and his crew overlooked orders.
The property damage was comparatively
light, not single one of the four en-
gines leaving the track, but dOzer
wrecked cars were piled up in heaps
Midvale is Ga miles north OF Roanoke
The northbound freight train had orders
to wait at Midvale for a southbount
extra freight, but the orders. it is al
legged, were disregarded by the north

Jo,ns the Church of Rome.


Mrs. Launt Thompson, sister Of Henry
Goldman Potter, Episcopal Bishop OF New
York, widow of the celebrated and erratic
sculptor, was received into the Roman
Catholic Church a few days ago al
Florence, Italy. That the talented ana
brilliant daughter Of Alouzo Potter,
Bishop of Pennsylvania, and the niece OF
Horatio Potter, Bishop of New York,
had been converted TO Roman Calhol-
icism was not known even TO her most
intimate friends in Florence, where she
has long resided with her daughter
Florence. She made solemn adjuration
of Professionalism in the ancient Church
OF San Piero Gattolino, and this was fol-
lowed by her confession and conirma-
ton. The Archbishop Of Florence
rraced the ceremonies with his presence;
they we're conducted by Rev. Giovacchino
Bonardi, rector of the church, one OF The
Oldest in Florence, which Dante men,
tions in his "Divine Comedy" Mrs.
Thompson is now member of the parish
of San Piero Gattolino, and she has
given a handsome sum of money to the
rector to be distributed to the poor OF The
parish.

More Labor Trouble.

A serious riot was narrowly averted
last night between union and nonunion
teamsters in Chicago. Nearly hun
dred nonunion teamsters, who have
taken the place of the strikers, have been
living in the vicinity of union head
quarters. | asst night when the union men
were leaving Bricklayer's Hall they en-
countered some nonunion drivers. A
general fight was soon in progress.
Clubs and bricks were being used indls'
criminately and several shots were fired,
but the police who had been summoned
when the trouble commenced, arrived IN
time to prevent bloodshed. 1t was
necessary to make several arrests, how.
ever, before the opposing factions could
be separated. Later in the day another
disturbance was furnished by the dele
gates to meeting of the Chicago FEEDER
alton of Labor. Dissatisfaction over the
manner in which the election OF officers
of the federation was being carried on
brought about the trouble. During the
disturbance revolvers were drawn and
the ballot boxes we're destroyed. Mich
ael Donnelly, president of AmalgamaIed
Burchers' Union, was severely beaten by
the rioters and was taken uncGncious
from the hall. Many other persons were
cut and bruised, bat Donnelly was the
only one who received serious injury.
1t was necessary to call the police to re-
store order before The voting could be re-
sumed. TIE express drivers, formerly
employed by the seven railway express
companies, will remain on strike for the
present, at least. This was decided on
Yesterday by the members of the express
drivers UNION when a referendum vote
was taken on the proposition of calling
off the strike. The decision to continue
.he struggle was carried by majority
of fOrtytwO votes.

Government to Build Tunnel.

Word has been received at the L. S.
geological survey headquarters in Mont
rose that the government has rejected
all bids recently submitted on the Cum
nison tunnel and will complete the
work under government supervision.
This is good news to the farmers, for
since the government took hold there
has been very satisfactory progress and
no delays and conditions have been
better at the works and all bills are
promptly met. The people know that
the officers in charge are pushing
the work ahead as quickly as possible
and with the least possible cost to the

A Fine Orchard.

On the lower end of Surface Greek
mesa next to the little station of Austin,
about eight miles from Delta, lies one
of the prettiest apple orchards on the
western slope. This orchard belongs
to DR.. A. <. Miller. who took five
prizes on FIVE different varieties of
apples recently at the state fair at
Pueblo. His fruit took first and second
prizes in every variety exhibited. In
looking over this orchard one is forcio!y
struck by the uniformity in the size of
the trees and the size of the fruit con-
tained thereon. To glance over tree
every apple seems to be about the same
size, result which is brought about
by systematic pruning and thinning.
The orchard only contains about forty
five acres yet four car loads of extra
fine Jonathan apples have been shipped
which from the color and size guarantee
a fancy price. Mr.. Miller has several
carloads of Gano's Rome Beauty. White
Winter Permain and Wine Sap apples
that cannot be beaten anywhere for
size. flavor and beauty of coloring.
Everything about place shows sys-
TEN and anyone interested in fruit cul-
ture is sure to be benefited by looking
over this orchard.

fine Autographed label which he is

is in colors and the choicest and only
the choicest apples are packed under
that label. They are wrapped in pink
paper and put in layers and Mr.. Co
burn says they bring him from $3.50
to s5 box. He says it certainly pays
to work up such trade and he is try
what is in the box and thinks that

spray often enough, will not pick care
fully enough and will not pack carefully
enough ard above all Will not pac,: on
honor, consequently the difference in
price is from IS to 81 box of forty
pounds. There is lesson in that for
apple raisers. 1t is lesson well worth
learning. All apples will not bring s5

MOUNTAIN MUTUAL SHUT OUT.
Fire Insurance Csapaay whieh Has Beea Sub.
yea II Ned Disesssiss nere Gees Broke
Thsrsdsy sf Last Week.

The state insurance department, for
the first time under this administration,
exercised its preogatives and notified
the Mountain Mutual Fire Insurance
company not to solicit any more busi-
ness IN Colorado.
The company is local assessment
concern with offices in Denver. The
managing officers of the concern state
that owing to the fact that the policy
holders, or at least sixty per cent of
them, declined TO meet assessments
when drawn upon, the present officers
were unable to pay the fire losses and
the company must disband.
The unpaid fire losses at this time
only amount to 5000. A recent
assessment against the policy holders
which should have brought in little
oyer $40, 600 nedted the company little
less than 1000. By reason of clause
in the contract whereby any policy
holder failing to meet an assessment is
dismissed from his connection with the
company the assessment resulted in
practically all of the policy holders being
dismissed.
Since the present insurance law went
into effect twenty-five assessment CON-
panies have been compelled to suspend
business. The Mountain Mutual was
organized February 2, 1898. Its last
report showed that it had insurance in
force to the extent of 81. 500, 900. When
it went to make its assessment and the
policy holders failed to meet the
assessment its insurance in force was
reduced to less than 5000. Under
these conditions the insurance depart
ment could not see its way clear to
allow the company to continue in busi :
ness and today. ordered them to apspend.
