Three Locomotives Were
Wrecked and Many Freight
Cars Demolished.
THE ORDERS OVERLOOKED
hEAD ON COLLISION OCCURRED
NEAR LYONS STATION-NONE
OF THE TRAINMEN HOWEVER
WERE KILLED.
IPuhlishers' Press.l

ConnersvilIe, Ind, Dec. 29.-East.
bound freight train No. SO and west
bound freight train No. 90, on the
G. Fl. & d. railway met in head-on
east of this Ai,y, today and while no
train men were killed, the wreck is
a costly one to the company, as three
engines were badly damaged and sew
eral freight cars were smashed. The
east-bound train (double-header) had
orders to take the siding for No. 80.
The train had stopped for the switch,
when No. 80 came along and crashed
into the waiting train.
The crew OF No. SO saw the danger
in time to jump but the men of the
other train were not so fortunate.
Fireman Dale. of Brownsville, had
his leg bruised and was injured about
the head and face. Engineer Cahill
was slightly bruised, and fireman
Madigan had his left arm hurt. No.
80 had but two cars attached to the
engine, otherwise the loss would have
been greater.
Engineer Cahill of No. 80, said he
understood his orders but he did not
realize he was so near his switch,
and he was helping his fireman when
the crash came. The 'double-head-
er" was in charge of engineers
Young and Roberts and conductor
VanScyoc, while conductor Lightsing-
or had charge of the west-bound
train. The track was blocked for sew
eral hours, and the mail trains were
routed over the Big Four railway.
Wrecking crews were ordered out
from Connersville and Hamilton, 0.

THE AGE OF AN EGG.

A simple method of finding out the age of an egg is by means of the air space, which is situated toward the broad end of the shell If the egg is held up between the hands before a light in a dark room the air space can be easily discerned, and by it's size the age can be determined. In a perfectly fresh egg the air space is very small, but as age increases it extends. until when the egg is three weeks old the air space occupies about a sixth of the entire contents. With practice, the age can be told to within twenty-four hours.

THE VICTIM OF HIMSELF
 WELL KNOWN IN PHOENIX
Charles A. Hall, Who Killed Himself
 at Mesa Yesterday.

Word was received here yesterday shortly before noon of the death by suicide at Mesa City of Charles A. Hall, the details of which are given in the Mesa correspondence of The Republi- can Of this issue. The young man who met such a tragic death was well known in Phoenix. He had frequently been here on business in connection with the operating of the Mammoth mine in which property he held an in terest with his father, Charles L. Hall and Messrs. Sullivan and Wolcott of Denver, Col. At the time of the buiId- ing of the Tonto road he opened a sta tion at Goldheld, and he had conducted this up to few months ago, when the decreased traffic along the road made its operation unproftable. On the death of w A. KimbaIl with whose family the Halls make their home in Mesa, he was made the administrator of the estate, and he had often been in Phoenix since that time on probate court business. He always impressed his friends as being a deep thinker, and was we'll read for a young man who had spent so much of his life in the hills of the west. He was a miner, and owner of valuable claims in Pinal and Gila counties.

 "I want to tell you that am enjoying bet ter health than I have for years, and owe it all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound.
 " When fourteen years of age suffered al- most constant pain, and for two or three years l had soreness and pain in my side, headaches and was dizzy and nervous, and doctors all failed to help me.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended, and after taking it my health began to improve rapidly, and think it saved my life. 1 sincerely hope my experi- ence will be a help toother girls who are pass ing from girlhood to womanhoOd. for know your Compound will do as much for them"
 If you know of any young girl who is sick and needs mOtherly advice ask her to write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she will receive free advice which will put her on the right road to a strong. healthy and happy womanhood. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of charge.
