Train Escaped Death or Injury
Mayor MccIeIIand of New York and
Wife Decided at Last Moment Not
TO Take Train.

London-Passengers by tho Ameri-
can line steamer New York who left
Plymouth by special train at mid
night were victims of one of the most
awful disasters in the railway history
OF England. When going at the rate
OF IA miles per hour in an effort to
break a record, the locomotive jumped
the track at Salisbury. The train was
literally demolished, and Of AZ passen-
gers 20 were killed and 10 injured
-Four railway employees were also
killed.
The passengers killed we're all
Americans.
The late arrival of the steamer
probably saved other lives, a number
Of the passengers remaining on the
steamer and continuing on to South
ampton. Mayor Mcclellan Of New
York and wife were among the latter.
Their baggage was ready, but at the
last moment decided to remain on the
steamer.
When the locomotive jumped the
track il dashed into a milk train, and
then plunged against he standards
and girders of a bridge The bridge
withstood the impact, and the locomo-
tive rebounded crashed into another
engine and overturned.
The coaches came crashing after,
and were reduced to a mass Of debris
80 feet high, In which the dead and
wounded were imprisoned.
Fortunately there was a fire engine
house near and tiromen quickly sub
dued the flames which started from
the wrecked locomotive.

Professor p, NJ. Stewart who occu-

had AN experience during his visit to
Honolulu, that probably never came to
him before. He went shark fishing
in one of Young Brothers launches.

tall striking looking blonde with very
ultra English appearance. accompanied
him ANA helped to catch the first shark.
Yesterday Professor Stewart went
without his wife. He hooked one
shark yesterday morning and drew the
shark close to the boat and then started
to dispatch the sea wolf with a spade.
The weapon was bent and then Pro-
fessor Stewart took a Ratchet to strike
the monster In his excitement the
professor struck the line with the
Ratchet cutting the line and allowing
the shark to escape.
Later i'm the day a second shark
was caught near the bell buoy. This
time the shark was dispatched with
out cutting the line and was towed in
shore. The shark measured about IA
feet in length and was Of the man eat
ing variety.
Young Brothers have hit on a new
scheme for shark fishing They are
able now to take the sharks with a
hook and line instead of happening
them as was done formerly. Some
very successful expeditions have been
taken out by the young men.

Trumbull White, the new editor of
Appleton's BoCklovers Magazine, had
a very narrow escape once from being
a Honolulu editor It was away back
i'm 1894 or 1895, think. White had been
Assistant City Editor on the Chicago
Record. and later had held a similar
position, or one perhaps better on the
Chicago Times. He had done some ex-
ploring along the northern boundary Of
the United States west of the Great
Lakes, for outing, and he had done two
or three rather original and striking
stunts for the Chicago Record. These
things had given him considerable re-
putation, i'm newspaper and Magazine
way About this time James b. Castle
entered into negotiations with him to
come to Honolulu and become the editor
of the Advertiser. The negotiations
seemed to proceed satisfactorily and
White expected to come out here. Then
for some reason, which | never heard,
there was "A change i'm the plans of the
Advertiser, and White never became its
editor.
He went to Europe once or twice on
important missions for the Chicago Re
cord, and then came the Free Silver
campaign of 1896. The Chicago Re
cord sent a commission to Mexico to
investigate and report on the effects of
a silver currency where it was actually
i'm operation. The commission consist

Soon after that the Record sent White
to Australasia to study the economic
experiments going on there, and he got
back just in time to be sent to Cuba
