Two Deaths and Severa. In
juries Have Occurred.
Tennessee Street and Railroad Fac<l
Spot for Stock-No Night
Watdiman.
CONDITION OF TWO victims.

Since the accident at the TesSessee
street crossing of the Illinois Central
road Thursday morning when Mrs.
Blanche Thompson and her mother,
Mrs. L. Thomas, were injured, other
accidents have been recalled. An in
vestlgation shows that majority Of
accidents have been to stock, and that
at this particular place but few deaths
have occurred.
Several years ago hand car struck
Mr.. Thad Jacobs and seriously in
jured him. Next came the most serl-
Gus accident Of all when a light en-
CINE backing from the depot struck a
wagon load of young men and women
returning from a picnic. Two were
killed and two seriously injured. The
next serious mishap was Thursday
morning when Mrs. Thompson and
her mother were struck.
Flagman William GIBSON. who re-
sides at the crossing stated that the
crossing has proven fatal to stock
principally, and dozens Of cows and 9th
or animals have met death there. The
crossing is protected now by gates
where formerly a flagman was sta
toned.
At night the crossing Is not watched
and It is after dark that most of the
accidents occur.
The crossing is that leading from
the union depot to the shops. 1t is
the east crossing. Another crossing
on the same street is the south lead
from the shops TO the coal chute and
Fulton district OF the road. Few ac-
cidents have happened there.
When the Illinois Central ran trains
through TO the depot when it was To-
Gated at Sixth and Campbell streets,
accidents at the Jackson street cross
ing then supplied with a bridge, we're
frequent. but no fast trains run down
these leads now except the Cairo pas
sengers. and they come through on a
slow order
The fact that accidents have occur
red at the Tennessee street crossing
has set the Illinois Central officials to
thinking. and ii is possible that some
automatic device will be installed for
a warning at night.
Extent Of Injuries.
Mrs. L. Thomas and daughter, Mrs.
Blanche Thompson. who were throw
from buggy in a collision with an
Illinois Central engine Thursday morn
ing at the Tennessee street crossing OF
the road. are reported resting easy to-
dag. Last night a more thorough
examination was made of Mrs Thomp-
sons Injuries. She had recovered
from the shock sufficiently to undergo
the examination and 1t was discovered
that her collar bone was broken and
her chest crushed In against the lungs.
Thus far no internal injuries have
developed.

t,-fpur years. He repeated his well
rehosped story OF his life. and how
he had risen from poor boy to a
man OF wealth and position Hargls
denied emphatioally that the little
room on the second floor OF his store

as bedroom.
Hargis saw Tom White come out
OF the door OF the cour house Just
before tho shots were fired Witness

Harriet Martineau also took up her pilgrim staff and travelled through America. for nearly two years, observing closely and printing impressions of the great Western Republic, and her comments served in some sense to modify the bitterness against English tourists which Mrs. Trollope's hard hittinE and superficial observations had provoked. From the worlds of America to the Pyramids of Egypt and the sacred hills of Palestine, this woman toiled ana travelled. Lady Stanhope, Lady Brassey and more than one French woman en- countered the hardships of adventure among the wild tribes of Tartars and the relentless and bigoted supersti- tions of Mohammedans. Let us forget that some of these adventurous wo- men learned, during their nemadic lives to avail themselves or that solace which Bukver insists is panacea for all human ills, and condescGnded from their high estate to the so-called luxury of a pipe or cigarette.

 Not long ago, the plaudits of the press were not a little enthusiastic in mention of a woman traveller who showed great daring, and wonderful self-poise in her adventures among the tribes of interior Africa. The lady might be said to be eminently cosnepo- titan in as such as sne was part Eng fish, part American with strain of Teutonic blood in her adventurous na- ture, but surely a bolder if not a brav- CT heart palpitated in the physique of that female odysseus, whose world wanderings have rendered her one of the most famous travellers of all time, Madam Ida Pfeiffer. This wonderful woman who began her globe-trotttng in the year Is42, period when the daring masculine adventurer into bar barious and heathen lands was consider ed unique. travelled not for fame. but for the pure love of knowledge.
