Heavily Loaded Electric Train Jump:
cd the Track at Sharp Curve Near
Woodland Road, in the Bronx,
New York, Carrying Death and
Destruction in its Wake Saturday
Night.

|
The White Plains and Brewster
Express, a six-car electric train on
the Harlem division of the New York
Central and Hudson River railroad,
jumped the track at curve near
woodland Road, in the Bronx Sat
urday night, bringing either death
or injury to probably three score of
its 100 or more passengers.
AT s.45 o'clock the police report
ed that they had removed II bodies
from the wreckage and that there
might be other victims in the ruins
of the train Of those removed to
hospitals it was said that a dozen
and prehaps double that number
would die of their injuries.
The train, No. 25, left the Grand
Central station at 6.13 p. M, drawn
by two heavy electric motors, loaded
with matinee crowd and commu-
tors on their way home from busi-
ness in New York It was made nm
OF the COMMUNICATION baggage and
smoking car and FIVE passenger
coaches.
Afer stopping at, One Hundred and
Twenty-ffth street the train was
scheduled to run express to White
Plains. At Woodland Road the four
tracks run through a rocky cut and
take a sharp curve When the train
reached the curve it was according
to tahe passengers, running at very
high speed, estimated by scme at SO
miles an hour.
Both motors and the smoking car
swoung safely around the curve but
the cars following left the rails aid,
plunging over on their sides with a
terrific crash, tore up the tracks and
after sliding 100 yards collapsed in
one mass.
Of those instantly killed, the
greater number were women. Many <.
we're mangled beyond recognition.
Ambulances and surgeons from all.
the hospitals in Bronx and from the
be..evue in Manhattan responded to
bury calls, as did two fire engine

injured were quickly extricated from
the wreckage, while others were so
pinioned they could not be taken
out for some time.
Fire started in the .-overturEed
cars but the flames were quicHly
extinguished and the fireman lent
their aid to the injured. Special
trains carried many of the injured

Who Pays For the Advertising!

A view point in the who-pays-for
the advertising controversy. Did you
ever think about it? Who paws for
the advertising of merchants and 9TH
er business men? Not the advertiser,
for the cost is returned to him fOurfold
in increased profits. Not the purch-
aser, for he buys cheaper from the
advertiser and has better assert
ment and fresher goods to select from.
Who, then, really pays the advertiS-
ing bills? The non-advertiSer, of
course. A just proportion of the
money he loses by his lack of initia-
tive and enterprise finds its way
eventually to the printer, to advance
the cause of education and the inter-
ests of the community. If you have
never looked at it in that light it is
worth thinking about. When you ar
rive at the only logical conclusion,
Mr.. Non-Advertiser, put up your case
to bright, broad-minded. well-bal-
anced and experienced advertising
man.-Boston Traveller.

A NEW ENGINE.
A Machine Which is Able to Work on
Marsh Land,

For the past three years the Gaar-
Scott Co. has been manufacturing a
special engine, one of which may be
seen in the warehouse of the comp
any's building here. The engine is
for road work. logging, blowing and
general heavy work and is so con-
structed as to be capable of doing the
work properly. There is what is
known as the universal boiler and
running gear of heavy steel. The
wheels are wider than the usual run of
engines and are so constructed as to
be extended by means of bolts. These
bolts are to be found in the hub and
the tire. When an extra piece of wheel
is to be adjusted these bolts are used
for that purpose and an extra inside
piece is fastened to the hub inside of
the additional rim as a support. F.
NJ. Joplin, the local manager, said
that he had disposed OF about ~ OF
these engines in this state and Missis-
sippi. The rear wheels are two feet
wide in the original making and can
be extended to seven feet.
He also stated that he had now in
operation several engines near Gov
ingtOn blowing a farm covering thou
sands of acres Of sea marsh and that
the blowing with the engines has prov
en- quite successful. The wheels are
extended and able to ride the marsh
with ease, where il man alights from
the engine to the ground he will sink
into the marsh above his knees. This
work is proving what Mr.. Joplin has
had in mind for some time and he is
very much pleased with the outlook. -

Chas. z. Martin Nominated For Mayor
of Lake Charles.

It is with the utmost satisfaction
that we learn of the nomination on
January 28th, of our former towns
man, Chas. P. Martin, to the high Of
flee of Mayor of Lake Charles, by
nominating committee appointed by
the citizens in mass meeting on Janu-
airy Goth. We are glad of this action
of the good citizens of Lake Charles,
not only because of the fact that they
have conferred the highest honor with
in the gift of the city upon a former
citizen of Welsh, but also because the
manhood of Lake Charles is at last
making an effort to wrest the control
of their fair city from the hands of
the ring politicians.
The following, which is part of
Capt. Chas. A. McCoy's nominating
speech, is what those who are &C
quainted with MIR. Martin know to be
true, or would expect of him under ex-
listing circumstances:
1.-The selection of the mayorality
candidate was wise one. Charles P.
Martin, is a native and democrat of
unquestioned standing. Born in Lou
isiana, he has been a resident-and a
prominent one-of Calcasieu parish
for twenty wears and the various
Martin stores in Calcasieu and Aca-
dia parishes are testimonials to his
business ability.
"Mr. Martin is an example of sterl-
ing business integrity and the highest
type of citizenship Never were the
words the Office seeks the man truer
than in his case. Twenty-odd of the
city's leading men called upon him in
body and informed him that he was
wanted as candidate for mayor. AT
first he laughed at them: then he ar
gued with them and used every excuse
possible to sidestep the honor sought
to be thrust upon him: not through
lack of patriotism, but because in his
modesty he thought others should be
given this high place among us.
When he had been assured that the
hopes of many of our best citizens
centered around him and that he was
needed. he acquiesced and his acqui-
escence completed as strong ticket
as has ever been presented to the vot-
ers of Lake Charles.

The Palestine Herald says anent the
good roads question:
A county official talking to Herald
man recently said that he never knew
the real value of good roads, was in
fact not in position to know, until
he travelled around some and saw
good roads in such counties as HAYS,
Bexar and others. Before he travelled
he had an idea in a general way that
good roads were very much to be de-
sired, but since he saw them he knew
they were an essential factor in the
growth and development OF a county.
Many of our people need just this
kind of experience. They are not en-
thusiastic about good roads because
they know nothing of good roads.
Travel and experience is a great edu-
Gator. Go about some. You will
learn many things of value. Among
them that good roads are absolutely
necessary in this day and time
