DISASTER IN ENGLAND.
Train Leaves Track and Dashes Into
Station Huildings-Ten
Lives Lost.

Witham, England, Sept. 2-As the
express from London to Cromer, on
the Great Eastern railway, was entering
Witham station Friday morning, sew
eral passenger cars left the track and
crashed into the station buildings, caus-
ing the death of ten persons, six of
whom were women, and seriously in
juring 20 people. The train was run
ming at full speed, Witham not being
stopping place for the express. The
third car from the engine was the first
to leave the rails, and. mounting the
platform, it dragged another car along.
The first car went right across the plat
form, demolishing the buildings, and
then falling on its side commenced to
burn. There was only one passenger in
the car, and, strangely, he escaped in
jury. Two other cars crashed into the
wrecked station, and it was out Of these
that most of the killed and injured per-
sons were taken.

Phenomenon. X.

Washington, Aug. 31.-The eclipse
Of the sun Wednesday was only partial
at this point, and for part of the time
of it's duration the sun was obscured by
clouds. Nevertheless the phenomenon
was observed with interest at the Unit
States naval observatory and by many
amateur astronomers. X The sun was
never obscured to the extent 81 more
than six-tenths Of it's diameter and the
observation attained its maximum at
$50 q. m. The observatory astronomers
used their ive-inch comet-seeking tele-
scope and were enabled to observe three
spots on the sun. This was no discov-
cry, however, as the presence of the
spots had become known. before. The
eclipse was observed at several other
cities throughout the country.

"A popular misconception of the an

affliction-carbolic gangrene,' said a

use of carbolic acid on common cuts

sues actually begin to rot before the
case comes to the physician. The
carbolic acid is in every case applied
at home, where some member of the

great damage if it is used to excess"
