ITALY TO ADMIT U. s. MEATS.
Will Accept Government Stamp As
Sufficient.

Washington Especially. - Restric-
tions upon the entrance into Italy
of American pork products have been
removed by the Italian Government.
Heretofore Italy, in common with
some other European Governments,
has insisted upon making its own
microscopical examination OF Ameri-
can pork products sent to that coun-
try The expense of the examination
had to be paid by the American ex-
porters. This requirement placed
the packers in the position of having
to pay twice for the examination,
once here and again in Italy
Secretary Wilson took up the ques-
ton with the State Department and
has induced the italian Government
to accept the certificate of inspection
placed on meats by the Agricultural
Department.

KILLED BY AN AUTO.
An Aged Italian Woman Dies As She
Predicted.

New York Especially In the par
lor of her little four-room fiat, two
flights up in the tenement house at
32S w. Twenty-sixth Street, Grand
ma" Serafina Macalsko was laid out
Sunday afternoon to begin her long
sleep. Grandma" as everybody in
the neighborhood called her, was
one year less than 80. Until two
days ago she went up and down
stairs and about the neighborhood
as spry as woman one-third her
age. She had one dread.
Some day l will try to cross the
street and an automobile will kill
me-" she said often. I'm Italy We
had no such things when l was young
and happy, but just before l came
over three years ago, they had them
there, too. Why should men and
women rush like mad, most of
them with nothing much to do when
they get there?"
Friday afternoon she put her
daughters baby to sleep and started
out for a short visit to a son nearby
Just as she got in front of the house,
and about half way across the street,
an electric brougham, running fast,
pulled around the corner and bore
down upon her. She stood still in
her terror. The heavy car hit her
and threw her 1 5 feet right into the
doorway of the house where she had
lived. She never regalned conscious
ness, and died at 10 o'clock Sunday
morning.
She was never i'll day, and yet
she was killed, as she said, by an
automobile" said the daughter,

SOUTHERN HAS
ANOTHER WRECK
Two Killed and Four Injured at
DanViIIe.
FLAGMAN BLAMED FOR ACCIDENT.
Similar to the Disaster at Lawyers
Which Resulted in the Death of Presi-
dent Spencer and Six Others-En-
gineer Kinney and Brakeman King
Met Instant Death.

Danville, Va. Especially Follow
ing close upon the disaster of Law
yer, 81 miles from here, on Thanks
giving Day, which resulted in the
death of President Samuel Spencer
of the Southern Railway, and SIN
others, another wreck horror on the
Southern occurred in the railway
yards here early Saturday morning
Two persons met instant death, an
other was fatally wounded and three
others were injured.
The accident happened about
O'Clock, when northbound train NO
"a, a mixed passenger and Pullman
train of about 10 coaches, crashed
into No. 80, a freight train of 80
cars, which was standing on the
main line All of the passengers es-
capped injury of any consequence,
though all were shaken up.
The list of the dead comprises En-
gineer George c. Kinney, of Thomas
Vile, N. c., and Brakeman w. B.
King, of Danville, Va. Robert Ford,
the negro fireman, sustained injuries
which will no doubt result in his
death.
The following is list of the SER
iously injured, who were taken to
the General Hospital here: o. P.
Null, of Columbia, s. c., dagman;
H. M Patterson, of Chatham, Va,
brakeman; Robert Ford, colored,
fireman, and O. o. Mailer, of Wash
ington, postal clerk
Both of the trains were running
he oil
after passing the block station, three
miles south of here, was detained
in the yards on account of other
trains. The freight had been stand
ing on the main line for nearly an
hour when No. "a came around the
curve at a rate of about 25 miles an
hour. The engine plowed through
the caboose of the freight, and like
giant bull hurled it over its head.
Engineer Kinney stuck to his post
and was instantly killed. Fifty yards
above the scene of the accident the
negro fireman, realizing what was
going to happen, jumped from the
locomotive and landed on the
ground, unconscious.
AS soon as the collision occurred
fire followed. Four cars were burn
ed up and other damaged by the
flames. The fire department was
called out, and after several hours
had the flames under control.
Next to the engine on No. "a was
the postal car, which was demolished,
and a number of clerks in it were
injured. The injured clerks left on a
northbound train, and their injuries
are not regarded as serious.
All of the passengers in the Pull
man and day coaches escaped.
The body of Engineer Kinney was
found pinned under the wrecked en-
CINE. 1t was not mangled, and indi-
cations showed that he had been
scalded to death by the steam es-
Gaping from the boiler.
The death of w. B. King, who was
on the caboose of the wrecked
freight train, was frightful. King
was learning the business of rail-
road brakeman, and his body was
burned to a crisp. Only the body
from the legs to the neck was ex
tricated from the wreckage, and this
was merely pile of ashes and CO.
agulated blood. The head, arms and
legs were missing, and the ashes
was placed in mail bag and carried
to an undertaker's shop.

.EXPLOSIONIN AFACTORY town
Eleven Persons Hurt. Fourteen Build.
ings Burned.

Lynn, Mass. Especially The exc
plosion of boiler in the four-story
factory building of the P. j. Harvey
Shoe Manufacturing Company, on
Alley Street, and the fire which i'm
mediately followed destroyed Ia
buildings in the West Lynn manufac-
turing district, causing a total loss
estimated at about $4,000.
Eleven persons were injured, one,
Miss Celia Tradenburg, an operative
in one of the burned factories, being
in critical condition at a hospital.
In addition to the direct loss the
shoe manufacturers will suffer Sc
verely from the interruption to their
Christmas business.
The properties destroyed and dam
aged are:
P. J. Harvey Shoe Company.
Tufts & Friedman Shoe Company.
H. P. Hood Creamery.
Boston and Maine West Lynn Rail-
road Station.
Jacobs Leather Stock Company.
NJ. j. Worthley Shoe Company.
Eight dwellings.
The explosion occurred just before
Z o'clock, when the employees were
assembling at their benches. There
was roar and the building, five
story wooden structure, was torn apart
heavy machinery dropping from floor
to floor. Almost Immediately the
ruins took fire
Fortunately for those in the build
ing, or a majority of them, the stair
ways held for the most part, as did
the fire-escapes, and to this fact the
absence of large loss of life is due.
In the other factories nearby the eff
feet of the explosion was felt, win
dows being smashed and holes torn
in the walls. The Boston and Maine
Immediately across the rail-
road tracks, was wrecked. Debris
from the Harvey building piled on
the track 10 feet high and blocked
all traffic over the Eastern division.
The scene of disaster in West
Lynn bordering on Charles and Alley
Streets was well fitted for big fire,
and the weather conditions-a high
southwest wind and hard going
were also against the firemen. The
district is the newer factory section
of the town, and dates back to the
great fire of November &c, 1889,
when, because of the passage of the
fire limit law, cheaper factories than
brick were sought for, as well as
cheaper land. The factories were
built close together, and to great
extent filled with infiammable ma
terial.

One man, William Gogin, was
blown to pieces, and three others
were wounded. Over a score of
miners were half-suffocated from
smoke and were resuscitated with
much difficulty.
A careless miner let fall some
burning grease in powder box and

PROFITABLE FEEDING.

Under this head The News
has had much to say about what
class Of cattle as to ages and
breed that pay best at the feed
rack.
The News has insisted all
along thai it costs only about
oue-half TO finish young stock
for market as against aged ones
and that VIII n finished, they in
varia bly, bring better money.
This is especially true of the
class known as "baby beet. >
If treated right from the begin
ming, little finishing, except to
harden, is required, for the calf
flesh not being allowed TO slip
away through exposure and
from lack of proper nourish-
ment is always there and such
being the case the animal is
really fit for beef at any and all
times.
Now that Plains land has
passed away beyond its strictly
grazing value it certainly be
comes important TO know just
how, when and where TO get
the most out of it as a stock
farming proposition. And right
here is where the feeding comes
in. This subject, for several
years a hobby with The News
writer, is now, partly for the
same reasons as here-ddvanc-
ing land prices-engaging the
attention OF the entire West.
Discussing this subject recently,
a Colorado newspaper, the
Hugo Range Leader, in part
says:

that these steers will bring
about 3 cents per pound from
the packers, as they are just
what are wanted for the ives
tern trade.
Those who have been ex-
perimenting tell me that there
is much more money in produc
ing this class of beef than any
thing else in the cattle line,
