Mrs. Mcdonald, of Philadelphia,

second car. When the coach went into
the river she had the presence of mind
to smash the window beside her and
soon rose to the surface. She is an ex

Henry Deemer, of Philadelphia, is
another to whose presence of mind it is
believed several SUI vivers owe their lives.
He was in the forward Car and the crash

Several of the rescued stated that they

There is no guard rail along the trebtle

cars from going into the water in case OF
such accidents.

SEVENTY persons, it is said, persisted
in the accident to an electric train al
Atlantic City yesterday afternoon. Ii
il suggested that the terrible disaster was
caused by the absence of guard rail on
the trestle from which the train plunged
into creek. The doors of the cars had
been closed by lever, operated by the
motorman, and after the coaches had
plunged into the water 1t was impossible
to open them, and the passengers, shock-
cd, crippled and in a death cage, were
drowned. Some managed to break
through windows and rising to the sur
face were rescued by boatmen. This is
the second terrible accident that has &C.
CURED in the same vicinity recently.
The authorities are now engaged in in'
vestigating the cause of the last accident.
Railway horrors are following close 10
the wake of each other. If such calam'
tiles sre due to negligence upon the par
OF officials in whose care con6ding pas
sengers place themselves, something
should be done with those responsible

of in this city. As smstter of fact there
are but two contests worthy Of the name,
and tthese are in the Ninth and Fifth
Districts. In the other eight nominal
contests exist 10 seven, the democratic
nominee in the Fourth being absolutely
unopposed. In the southwestern part
Of the State, however, there is q very
lively canvass. In the Fifth district,
including the city Of Danville and the
counties Of PittsylvsDia, Franklin, Pat
rick, Henry, Giles, Grsyson and Floyd,
former Circuit Judge E. w. Saunders is
the democratic candidate, and is opposed
BY DIR. J. W. Simmons, of Henry, re-
publican. In the Ninth, the largest
district in the State, both in area and
population, and in which the population
is Overwhelmingly white, the democrats
are making a strenuous fight to defeat
Colonel Slemp, the republican twice
elected. Two years ago Colonel slemp
defeated Mr.. Wysor, the democratic
nominee, by more than 5000 plurality

HOW THE FIRES START
Smokers More Careless Than Children
In Using Matches-HOIiday
Outbreaks.

Fewer fires are caused by children play
ing with matches than by careless smokers,
who throw away burning matches after
lighting cigars, pipes, or cigarettes. This
Is what the official figures show, as they
appear In the report OF the fire commits
sioner. Where only IA children in all
Greater New York caused fires by amusing
themselves with matches and flame, 40i
cigar. cigarette. and pipe smokers-almost
twice as many-accomplshed the same I'M
fortunate results.
There are lessons for the housekeeper as
well as the householder in the COMPARE
tive showing of the various causes for
fires. as stated in the report. To the credit
OF the smoker be Il said that on a basis
OF the estimated smoking population Of
the metropolis only one man in about 1000
sets things ahre. Yet. out Of every hun
dred fires, the iremen have laid the blame
OF at least Ave at the door OF the careless
devotee Of nicotine. Perhaps there is some
consolation for the smoker in the fact that
one person in 500 is credited with starting
one of the 1850 fires which occurred in 1905.
In the household. the range. furnace. and
heating pipes are shown to be well worth
watching. From stoves alone 61s fires are
reported to have sprung. and done some
100000 worth OF damage. Chimney fres,
from defective iues and similar causes,
formed almost s per cent of all the fires.
while sparks from stoves, stove-pipes and
chimneys caused per cent more.
More than per cent of all the fires in
the city, the records show. were due TO the
use OF gas In one form or another. OF
these almost half were curtain fires, .
caused by the blowing OF curtains against
Jets. Lamps were responsible for a little
more than per cent Of all the fires, and
candles tribe over per cent. Less than
] per cent were caused by electric wiring
for lights, power, and heat; only rs Of the
1850 fres being reported as due 70 electri-
cal sources. Only Is hres are credited TO
the gnaving mouse and the match.
