China is essentially a land of home
steads, for the sons, contrary to tha
general rule in Western countries, a.
ways live with their father. Some
times as many as four generations will
be found in one habitation and as
many as so human beings. In order
to accommodate the ever-increasine
family additions are built on to the
real of the houses, and sometimes the
houses attain a length of 100 feet. The
majority of the houses of China are
built around an open court and have
no windows for admitting light in the
outside walls.

ders injured.
This is the fourth attempt in the
last four months to wreck passenger
trains in the same place. Previous
attempts were made by piling ties on
the track, and without serious re-
suits. This wreck was caused by re-
moving the spikes and fish plates OF
two rails on the inside of the curve.
The engine on No. II passed ove the
loose rails safely, but the mail a left
the track and was dragged a hundred
yards along the embankment before
the train was stopped. The next five
cars, two express and baggage cars,
smoker and two day coaches, went
into the ditch across the right Of wey
fence and lodged in a zigzag line.
The end of the baggage car went up
in the air high enough to ground the
telegraph wires. Two Pullman sleep.
ers remained on the track. The pas.
sengers were asleep when the wreck
occurred and became greatly excited,
but soon formed a wrecking crew and
went to the relief of the men in the
overturned baggage car. A window
was broken, and of the seven men in
the car six were found injured. The
wounded were carried into a nearby
field, where a hospital was improvised.
An hour after the wreck a relief train
arrived from Emporia, and the injured
were taken to Emporia. A hundred
workmen were put to work on the
track.
There is no clew to the wreckers.
Three men were seen Saturday night
lear the Howard branch sectio
house. Sunday morning a tract
wrench and clawbar were missing,
and they were found in a pool of wa,
ter near the wreck.
