Mrs +. F. Thompson. The bloom is of
pink tint, with long twisted petals.
The greatest interest, from the profess
siOnal standpoint, seems to center on the
seedlings, or experimental plants. There
are more than 100 which were at least par
TALLY successful. 1t is usually considered
satisfactory if one successful plant Is OBJ
tanned which has commercial value. The
best of these, which is yet unnamed, is of
cream white shade. Another product, not
yet named has straw color, with long
stem.
An interesting specimen is a plant with
twenty-five varieties, all drawing nourish-
ment from the same root. OF these, eight
cen have grown, and nearly all have pro-
duced blossoms. There white, yellow,
purple, red and many other shades on the
one plant. Several of the bush chrysanthe-
mum type have from ten to twelve stalks
on the same root instead of one as is usual

Special Correspondence of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA. Va, November 3. 1906
A big locomotive of the Southern Railway
Company shortly after'9 o'clock this even
ing moved off the turn table near the corner
of Henry and Wilkes streets and plowed its
way across the street, dragging the tender.
The distance covered by the engine was
about half a square. The locomotive was
standing on the turn table preparatory to
being taken out when, without warning 1t
started, brushing aside a high board fence
and going over the sidewalk, stopping at
the curbng on the opposite side of the
street.
. The noise made by the engine caused con-
sternation in the neighborhood some think
ing 1t might force its way through two
fran houses. The locomotive plowed I'D
cobblestones and the tender sank several
inches. \ defective throttle is supposed to
have been responsible for the proceedings.
Several pedestrians had narrow escapes. A
force of workmen were engaged late tonight
