BAD sWASHUP on THE CENTRAL.
Three Engines Wrecked-Four Coaches.
Express Car and y Freight Cars Burned.

ROCHESTER,, Dec. l7.-One OF the most
complete wrecks the New York Central has
had in years occurred one mile west OF East
Palmyra at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Two
freight trains and a passenger train were
mixed up, with the net result that three
engines, four passenger coaches, an ex-
press car and eight freight cars were scat
tered over the four tracks and the cars
burned The loss TO the COMPANY is esti-
mated at about S2OO, 900. All traffic, freight
and passenger, was blocked until midnight.
Many Of the passengers received slight
injuries, but the only seriou injury was to
John X. Harris, engineer on the passenger
train, whose chest was smashed and who Is
not expected TO live.
A freight standing on track 8 was taking
water when another freight on the same
track dashed into it at full speed. The
engine Of the second freight struck the
caboose and one freight car filed with coal
and sent them both spinning over to track 2
Just as the Buffalo special, westbound, came
along. The special was pulled by two
engines, and Engineer Harris, who was in
h front engine, had just time to apply
the emergency brake as his engine dashed
into the coal car and caboose that &C the
same instant came tumbling over in front
Of it.
The stove in the freight caboose caught
fire and the fire spread rapidly to the other
cars. Inc TcdT Iulluldu on Lne pdSbeuH6T
train was ~uncoupled and pushed away
from the other oars, but the fou vestibule
coaches and the baggage car were burned.
Fight Of the freight cars were also de-
stroyed. Four of the cars were loaded
with coal m this made a fierce fire, burn
ing for many hours after the frame work
Of the passenge, coaches had disappeared.
The Lyons fire department brought
down an engine and hose cart at about Q
O'Clock, but it was several hours before
the ruins were cooled sufficiently so the
wrecking gang could begin work to clear
the tracks. Most of the passengers on the
Buffalo special we're taken back to Lyons
and transferred to the Empire State Ex-
press, westbound, hat was switched over
10 the West Shore tracks at that point.
Other passengers were taken to Rochester
later in a special train made up in this city
and sent TO the scene of the accident.
All of the baggage and express matter,
the latter containing packages valued
at many thousand dollars, were rescued
from the burning baggage car ana were
brought TO Rochester this evening.

LENA Rivers opened to a houseful Of
tears at the Fourteenth Street Theatre

For those who have never read the book
from which the play was adapted il may be
said that the story is Of a small New Eng

in Kentucky rather than starve at home.
There Ia no regularly assigned villain in
the plot, but all the actors turn against
little Lena, with the result that she wins
the admiration Of every one and the low of

in a catch as catch can embrace as the final

North Dakota Solves the Adulteratlon
probIen

North Dakota seems to have found
the key 10 the question. How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make 1t impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and linseed OIL
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments. or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan. Il any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock-dust. ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so.called white leads" no one can
object; for they do 1t with their eyes
open But If they prefer genuine
white lead and linsccd oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
