Train Went Over Embankment.

Train No. 33 on the Western New
York & Pennsylvania division of the
Pennsylvania railroad was wrecked on
Wednesday night between Irvineton
and Warren, Pa. The train plunged
over a 25-foot embankment and nine
persons were injured, none fatally.
The train was running behind a
freight from Irvineton to Warren and
when three-quarters of a mile from
Warren the freight ran onto siding
to allow the passenger train to pass.
After the freight was on the siding
the passenger started through the
switch, which is set from a tower
about quarter of mile away. The
switch was not entirely closed and
two cars were thrown from the rails
and down an embankment into pond.
Near the railroad track runs pipe
line of the Pennsylvania Gas company,
carrying 200 pounds pressure. This
line was broken and the coaches filled
with natural gas. There were four
passengers in the rear coach which
turned completely over and they mar
rowly escaped suffocation by gas
fumes. Had the lamps in the coaches
been lighted an explosion would have
taken place.

MATERIAL EVIDENCE OF SOUL.
Physicians Claim to Have Demonstrat.
ed Its Existence.

Boston, March 12. - His curiosity
aroused while present at the bedside
of dying patients, DR.. Duncan Mac.
dougall of Haverhill, Mass, aided by
four physicians of high professional
standing, has been for the past six
years in private sanitarium near Bos.
ton, conducting experiments to discov-
er the existence or non-existence of a
soul in the human body.
AS concrete results, it is claimed the
mysterious human soul has at last
been catalogued upon scientific princi-
pies, just as is the heart and all vital
organs of the body, as an actual, ma
terial thing; that when this soul fits
from the body it diminishes the weight
of the body by certain measur-
able amount, and that this amount can
be weighed in actual pounds or frac-
tions of pounds.
The difference between the weight
of the live human body and the body
moment after death, or when the soul
has quilted it, was found to be from
one-half ounce to one ounce; and to
this, it is said, there can be no other
possible solution except that it is the
weight of the human soul.
In every case the loss was shown
after all known scientific deductions,
such as the loss of air, of moisture and
of all excretions and secretions of the
body, has been taken into considera.
tion.
The method of finding this result
was to place the dying patient in bed
upon one of the platforms of a pair of
scales made expressly for the expert
ments, with an equal weight in the op-
posite platform.
These scales were so delcately con-
structed as to be sensitive to a weight
of less than one-tenth of an ounce.
In every case when the soul was set
free by death the platform opposite
the one in which lay the subject of
the test fell suddenly just as naturally
would have happened if weight had
been taken from the opposing bal
ance. The figures on the dial index
indicated the diminution in weight.

The mayor asserts that without sur

RATES OF ADVERTISING:
Blowing the Nose.

Medical experts are calling the at
tentlon of the public TO the importance
of performing the nose blowing opera
ton in a scientific and hygienlc manner.
First one nostrll and then the other
should be blown without undue vio-
lence. Doctors state that the two nasal
passages should never be closed at the
same time. If they are obstructed, as
in the case of Il cold, the back Of the
throat is filled with compressed air,
and this, together with the discharge
and the microbes which 1t contains,
may be driven through the eustachial
tube into the middle ear and lead to
serious results. A great authority on
the subject used to forbid his patients
to blow their noses when suffering
from cold. The course Is hardly one
which will commend Itself to those In
the habit Of catching colds. The best
advice would seem to be that when It is
necessary to blow the nose the blowing
should be done gently.-London Mail.

MRS.THAWA WAGAIN CALLED
Abraham Hummel and Howard
Nesbit to Be Subpoenaed.

Increased Rates on Graln-Traln Went
Over Embankment-John Alexander
Dowie's Funerai-Telephone Merger
Stayed y Perkins Pays Back Insur
ance Money-Adams Jury Disagreed.
Court proceedings Friday occupied
less than five minutes and District At
torney Jerome returned at once to his
Office and began preparing for his re-
buttal testimony. Almost his first
move was to have subpoena served
upon Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw reQuir-
ing her to produce in court any letters
she may have In her possession writ
ten by Stanford White.
District attorney Jerome doubtless
will again summon Abraham Hummel
to the stand to testify as to the affida-
Wits Evelyn Nesbit Is alleged to have
signed, charging Thaw with cruelties
because she would not tell lies" about
Stanford White. The prosecutor at
tempted to introduce this testimony by
interrupting young Mrs. Thaw's nara
tive, but the testimony was barred at
that time. Mr.. Jerome believes that
upon rebuttal Justice Fitzgerald will
allow him much wider latitude than
was granted on cross-examination.
Howard Nesbit was with the dis
trict attorney on Friday and it is said
that he will be called to the stand to
testify that his sister told him Thaw
treated her cruelty while she was
abroad in 1903 because she again
would not tell lies about Stanford
White" Mr.. Jerome hopes that
through the brother he can corrobor-
ate the testimony he expects to elicit
from Abraham Hummel, the latter be-
ing under indictment at the present
time for alleged subornation of per.
Jury In the Dodge-Morse divorce case.
Despite Mr.. Jerome's hope for ter
mination of this long-drawn-out case
within the next week, few of those
who have kept track of the trial are
willing to hazard a prediction that the
end is less than two weeks away.
Many rumors were current of SER
ous estrangement between the de-
PENDANTS family and his wife, and of
the reported desire of the former to
bring about separation of the young
couple in the event of verdict ac.

der.
1t has also been a matter of CON-
ment that inasmuch as two experts
have declared Thaw was insane 1T
the time of his marriage, the cere-
mony might be declared void ana
annulled Under such circumstances
the will and codicil, in which Mrs.
Thaw is left the main portion of her
husbands estate, would also be void

Resin.

The resin of the shoemaker and fid-
dler is obtained from different species
of the fir tree-as the Scots fir, the
larch and the balsam fir Of Canada. 1t
is well known that Il resinous juice
eXudeS from these trees, which hardens
into solid tears. The clear juice itself,
before il has dried up by coming to the
surface. is known in commerce as tur-
pentirc and Is in the main composed of
oil of tIrpentinc and resin. When the
juice Is distilled. the oil comes over.
and the resin remains behind. When
the diStillation is carried on to dryness,
common resin Is formed, but when
water is mixed with it while yet fluid
the resulting mass Is the variety called
yellow resin, which is more preferred
for most purposes because 1t Is more
ductle than the former, owing prob
ably to its containing some oil.
