 Stanford proposes that the race take place at Stockton, Cal. where the slug gish slough water would offer what might be called "a fair field and no fla vor."
 California's objection to Stockton is that very few spectators could be drawn to that point from San Francis co. It is one of those cases in which either side can produce sound argu- ments in support of it's stand.
 It is understood that there is still a chance that 1905 will see the first of the intercollegiate boat races. It has been suggested that an agreement be entered into by which each university shall have the choice of courses in al ternate years, and the advisability of adopting this plan will be discussed by those interested.
 New Scheme In Athletics.
 To discuss plans for forming a gen eral athletic association which shall control all branches of the colleges sports Columbia university students recently held a mass meeting. For five years the need of such an organization has been felt, and it's establishment has been urged by the alumni.
 Year after year there have been deS- icits in nearly all branches of sports. With the exception of football. baseball and basket ball all sports at Columbia have been supported by subscription. Firing of the constant calls for assist ance, the students favor forming one big association the duty of which shall be to look after athletics in general

EIGHTEEN DEADIN WRECK
OYER Il SCORE INJURED.
Head-On Collision IN Western Mary
Land-Passengers Escape.

Baltimore. June 1I.-By far the worst wreck
in the history of the Western Maryland Railroad
occurred this evening at point about quarter
of a mile from Patapsco. a small station between
Westminster and Finksburs. At least eighteen
people are believed to have been killed and
score more injured.
Passenger train No. ., westbound, was run
ming at high rate of speed when it crashed
into double headed freight running east. All
three of the engines were reduced to scrap iron,
the express and baggage cars of the passenger
tram were ashed and a number of the freight
cars were splintered.
The passenger coaches sustained little injury
and almost without exception their occupants
escaped with nothing worse than a bad shak-
ing up. The fatalities and injuries were to the
crews of the engines and to workmen employed
by the railroad. It is remarkable coincidence
that these latter should have been at work re
pairing the damages caused by a recent small
freight wreck that occurred at Mount Hope Sta
tion near this city. They were on their way TO
their homes in small towns along the Western
Maryland to- spend Sunday Not being regu-
lar passengers, they. had boarded the baggage
. car and engine When the crash came the more
fortunate who were on the engine, jumped or
were thrown from the train and were only m

stricken upon their arrival to see the
bodies of Mrs. Markham and her seven
children lying inside the burning build

blood.
After frantic efforts they succeeded in
pulling the bodies from the flames, only
to find them horribly mutilated, gashed
and burned All were apparently dead,
but later signs of life were discovered

Mrs. Markham at first said strange
man had killed the children and then set
the house on fire Later, and just be-

killed the children with an ak. She
had attempted to kill herself with the
same implement, she said, but failing, she
placed the bodies Of the little ones on a
bed saturated with coal oil, which she set
afre. She threw herself on the burning
bed and was horribly burned.

"At this verdict of the DOCTOR" re-

exclamation of sympathy left our lips.
Only two hours in which to enjoy the
possession of q fortune, after years Of
wearing penury and want. Only two
hours in which to gauge his new re-
sponsibilitles, and determine upon whom
or what he would lay this burden Of
wealth otherwise useless to him. 1t

Though | laughed at the surmiseS of
the lawyer, | knew that the mind Of
the man, thus driven into action at
its weakest ebb and under the pressure
of death, would he and must be neces-
sarily Influenced by the minds Of
those about him, and | refused such
responsibility, and longcd to escape
from the scene and its possible con-
sequences.
But when l turned to look at the
dying man, l felt that it would be
cruelty for me to leave one who mani
festly clunS to me with such desperate
and unrcasoning persistence. He
would not, in all probability, refuse my
request if 1 cntreated permission to
go; would not, perhaps, lift his hand
10 stop NE il he saw me turn again to-
ward the door, but should never for
get his look for all that, or feel COM
Portable ut its remembrance. What
ever the result might be must linger
till he himself said goodbye, for since
we could not give him the peaceful and
comfortable surroundings which he
craved, we must at least grant him the
sympathy and interest which might
serve to make him forget his surround.

Il had bought n great bunch OF white
roses while / was out and these | now
brought forward and placed on his
breast, with the remark that thought
he would like something beautiful to

"InStant1y the tears welled in his
