There was a moments silence, while
the horses frstted impatiently to be off
again. Lord Arlington, gnawing the
corner of his straight under lip, stared
at the distance ahead.
A firm little hand dropped lightly on
his arm, and Eleanor leaned suddenly

For moment Lord Arlington stared
at her in dismay; then the blood crept
into his lean. Norman face and a sud-

eyes. Just for a moment he saw him
self as he must appear to his golden

was not an attractive one. Moreover.
he realized that the conditions had
changed in the month that had passed

Twenty-six Killed in Railroad Wreck

Cotton, Cal.-One of the most disas-
trous wrecks in the history of the
Southern Pacific occurred Thursday af-
ternoon ane and one-half miles east of
this town, when westbound train No. 8,
from New Orleans to San Francisco,
ran into an open switch while going at
the rate of forty miles an hour, and
ten Of the fourteen coaches were de-
rallied with frightful results.
Twenty six people are known to have
been killed and the final list will to-
tai much higher than this number The
injured number about 100, many of
whom are seriously injured and will
die.
The wrecked coaches were hurled in
every direction. Four of them were
smashed into splinters.
Most of the dead were Italians from
New York and New Orleans, going to
San Francisco. They occupied the
smoker and day coach.
The dead were terribly manned and
mangled. Eighteen of them were taken
to an undertaking establishment at
Cotton and eight additional bodies
could be seen underneath one Of the
overturned and demolished cars.
This car could not be raised until a
derrick was brought from Los Angeles,
sixty miles away.
The injured were brought to this city
in vehicles of all sorts, and the Cotton
hospital was quickly filled to its ca
pacity. Many were taken to the Pres
byterian church and to private resi-
dences in the city.

TO KILL iDloTIc CHILDREN.
California Senator Will Introduce Bill
Making Murder Compulsory.

San Francisco.-Senator Thomas ].
Kennedy of this city will introduce at
the next session of the Legislature a
bill providing for the chloroforming
of all children suffering from congen-
tial idiocy. The senator decided upon
this after he had visited the home for
the feeble-minded at Glen Ellen, while
on the senatorial committee detailed
to investigate the conditions of insti-
tutions for the feeble minded. He be-
lieves that death is better for imbe--
Giles than the life which they are now
enduring.
Senator Kennedy feels that he is fol-
lowing the more recent theories of
eastern scientists. He states that these
men and physicians of high rank are
daily scheming to devise way legally
and ethically to put these unfortunate
subjects out of their misery. An an
testhetic, preferably chloroform or
ether, is the proposed drug with which
specially appointed commission of
medical men is to accomplish this new
work. Kennedy believes that his pro
posed law will receive more kindly and
careful consideration than did the sug-
gestion with the advocacy of which DR..
Osler has been credited-to chloroform
aSeu people.
Il realize" said Kennedy, that
a great deal of comment will be made
upon my proposed action. | will be
called an advocate of murder until the
matter is thoroughly understood. L
may be accused of desiring
the wanton destruction of life,
but l want to say that any man
who witnessed the terrible sights that
greeted me at the home in Glen Ellen
would come to the conclusion that l
have-that merciful means of dispos-
ing of these blotted lives is the proper
course All of the members of the COM
mission which with me visited the
Glen Ellen home agreed that some
such bill as that which l will introduce
should be put into effect"
Many physicians who were ques
toned concerning Kenendy's bill
termed it ridiculous and impossible.
Others refused to believe that the pro.
posed bill was drafted in good faith
and claim that it's inception is due to
the talk on the subject of chloroform-
ing which is occupying the minds of
| eastern men at the present time.

Oldest Enoineer In Colorado.

Golden, Colo.-Perhaps the Oldest
civil engineer in Colorado, in point OF
longevity, residence in the state, and
in activity following his profession. is
Capt. E. l.. Berthoud of this city, who
celebrated his eightieth birthday ami
versary to-day by running the lines OF
a forty.acre tract near the city. In
spite Of the four score years the cap
tain is in splendid health, and can do
as good o days work in the field as any
OF the younger civil engineers.
His career is one Of great activity.
and includes the performance Of many
feats in his line Of work which will be
remembered for centuries. He was
chief engineer for the Colorado Cen
trail railroad. and planned and laid out
the famous Georgetown loop and Cen
trail City switchback, which are still
wonders OF railroad building. He was
t5e of the founders of Golden, and
made plats for the original townsite.
Much OF the railroad building In the
great West was dono under direction
OF his transit.
Aside from being the Oldest civil en-
gineer in Colorado, Captain Berthoud
Is also q pioneer in the same line in
Panama. In 1851 he was sent by a
New York syndicate to that country.
where he put in two years locating and
experimenting construction OF the
Panama railway. He served during the
War of the Rebellion in the Second
Colorado cavalry. where he acquired
the title Of captain.
