bureau but they sslected The .sI-
ent which they desired and con-
tracted for them with the various
bureaus which represented them, or
entered into contract with the
lecturers themselves. In only one
instance was there any disappoint-
ment whatever and that was in the
interference of Death in the re-
moval Of Rev. Sam p. Jones
The course was a complete success
as all patrons will testify. OF
course, all patrons will not say
that every number was success,
but all do not agree upon what
the weakest numbers were. Some
will say one and some another,
so taken all in all, the citizens were
well pleased with the course.
The course just completed was
not a failure financially. The re-
ceipts were $lO36. go and the dis
bursements $97S.2 30 leaving bal.
ance for the association of $5S. 40.
The men who served upon the com.
mittee received no remuneration
for their services. All they re.
ceived are the thanks of grateful
public.
! This years course proves that
the citizens of Marion want a
lecture course and that they want
the best talent obtainable. "A num-
ber have expressed their preference
for fewer numbers and better tai
ent and this is believed to be the
wish of the intellectually inclined
people of Marion.
The citizens are indebted to the
Y. NJ. C.. A. and the committee
for theSlecture course which has
Just been concluded and they
should show their appreciation by
liberal patronage of the one for
which arrangements have already
been begun for next year.

What Others Say.
THAW CASE AND THE NEWS
PAPERS.

The attempt to kill President
Mckinley Was told in six
thousand word cablegram TO a
London newspaper and in one
day the English publication receiv-
cd three thousand words on the
earthquake and fire in San
Francisco.
When Evelyn Thaw went on the
witness stand and told the story
cf Stanford Whites crimes the
London Daily Mail paid for four
thousand word report of her con-
fession. The Paris papers took al
most as much as the British jour-
mails.
A days proceedings in New
York paper filled thirty two col
umns, while the Boston appetite
was satisfied with two pages.
1t is estimated that $4,000 has
been devoted to reporting a single
days proceedings, and this does
not take into consideration the
money spent by the regular press
associations supplying hundreds of
papers.
Laura Jean Libby was paid at
least $500 for days work, writ
ing one article on the element of
love in the case. Alfred Henry
Lewis is said to have been paid
$40O for every Thaw trial article
he gave the New York Journal.
Rev. Madison C. Peters was
employed to "cover' the moral
side and to deal with the wages
of sin, and Molneaux, who was
once sentenced to the death chair,
was one of the reportial staff of a
paper that is aged and respectable.
The newspapers have not profit
ed by the Thaw trial. Afternoon
papers, printing countless editions,
have gained in circulation, but the
increase Is temporary, while morn
ing papers had increased sales.
1t Is doubtful. if the Cincinnati
Enquirer came out on the right side
Of the ledger. Its sales increased
enormously, but hundreds of
columns of matter coming over
the wires make money vanish.
The only comment one can make
Is that the newspapers readers, not
few but the public generally. got
about what they wanted.
The New York "yellows" pro.
luce and sell about million copies
every day, while the New York
Evening Post, as free from sensa-
ions as the Bellville Messenger.
prints approximately $4,000 copies

DOG PREVENTS WRECK
OF A FREIGHT TRAIN

GAINESVILLE, March 29.-The frantic
barking of a large shepherd dog be-
longing to B.. r. Dye, farmer re-
siding nine miles west Of Marietta,
saved an o. & l.. X. freight train
from. going into the Muskingum
river last midnight.
Early In the evening Dye heard
the dog barking at the railroad
tracks The dog refused to come
when he called, so he went to bed.
The dogs persistent barking kept
him awake, however, and he finally
investigated with the result that he
found the track for more than a
hundred feet had been washed out.
He barely had time to flag north
bound freight train and prevent 1t
from running into the washout.

TRACKS
DISAPPEAR
Big Four and Baltimore and
Ohio Crippled at
Cinninnati.

Cincinnati, March 29.-The en-
bankment under the two main tracks
used by the Baltimore e. Ohio South
western and the Big Four railroads,
under the Eighth street viaduct
dropped out Of sight early in the
slough left by the waters of Mill
creek, caused by the recent food.
The roads, which enter the Union
depot In this city, used these tracks
or have tracks of their own along
side Of the embankment that has
been washed away. II there is any
further cave-in these tracks will
probably be useless for traffic, and
the trains will not be. able to enter
their regular station. Instead, they
will be compelled to stop at Brigh-
ton, In the western end of the city,
and disembark their passengers.
The Eighth street station is also

out Of about so Pullman passen-
gers, there we're put two who sus-
tained serious injury. The three
Pullman coaches and the diner which
were on the rear Of the train did not
leave the track. The occupants OF
these cars we're unharmed
The Florence Roberts Theatrical
company occupied one coach, which
was hurled from the track and both
ends crushed In by Impact against
the others. But two Dembers of the
company, out of aatotal of % per-
sons, were injured. Miss Roberts
herself escaped entirely unhurt. The
escape from death Of the occupants
Iof this car was remarkable, consid-
'ering the manner in which the car
was splintered and torn to pieces.
The men and women we're hurled
from one end Of the car to the 9TH
'er. t
There were 'hree tracks where the
accident occurred, which is In the
open country. The people of Cotton
were first to be notified of the acci-
dent. Hundreds Of people hurried
to the scehe OF the wreck. Physi-
Clans and nurses were brought from
San Bernardino and Cotton and min
istered to the injured.
The 6lerailment OF the train was
caused by the crew of switch en-
gine, leaving a switch open at this
point. 1t is said that the engine
passed through the switch a few
minutes before the Overland ap-
peared. A switchman named Nor
rison was in the yard. After the
switch engine had passed on to an
other track the engineer asked the
fireman If he had thrown the switch.
The fireman recalled that he had
neglected to do SO and the engineer
whistled frantically for Morrison to
close it. The signal was not given
in time as Morrison did not reach
the switch before the Overland had
through and been derailed.
The train, which was due in Los
Angeles at 1880. was nearly ~ hours
behind time, and was running at
high rate of speed There was abso
lutely no warning of the impending
lThe engineer saw the signal of
The open switch when but a few
rods distant and had no time to
sound even whistle of warning,
'r set the brakes. He called to
MS fireman to jump and they both
eaped wildly from opposite sides of
the enalne.j The engine left Tho
rack, turned over on its side, and
plowed a great distance along the
light of way. ,..
The broken wreckage of the day
,oaches and smokes. filled with the
,odies OF the dead and injured, were
hurled all over it. Helpless passen-
gers. imprisoned in the wreckage,
'alled frantically for Help.
BY miracle the train was not
yet on fire. Three of the passen-
gers who escaped set at once about
he work of rescue. Dozens were
'ulled and lifted from the wreckage
md laid beside the track until We
licles arrived to convey them to the

Horton going in to pitch. Woods
started out strong but he was unable

ming the locals got next to him. Hurl-
burt walked in the third and stole

scored. Erwin hit safe, scoring Olson
but was caught going to second.
