a restaurant on Main Street by Z. a.
Murphy, of this city. Harvey's con.

fatal. Murphy was arrested before
lie left the room. A number of men,
including the principals in the trouble,
were seated at table, and an argu-
ment ensued. Murphy was intoxicated,
and when Harvey saw troublo was
brewing, he said he would leave. AS
lie was walking out of the room MUIR
phy applied vile epithet to him. This
caused Harvey to walk back and knock
Murphy down, Murphy staggered back
to the floor but Harvey did not renew
the trouble. Then a mutual friend,
seeing Murphy trying to get his re-
volver, leaped on him and by main force
bore him to the floor, AS Murphy WAS
going down he fred once at Harvey
and twice more after he was on the
floor. This man prevented him FROM
emptying, the other two chambers ut
the wounded man. The shooting caused
great excitement.

Coolness Of Vice-Presdent of Seaboard and Other Off

Diners Shaken by. Explosion

Passengers on the Seaboard Air Line
Florida Special. train No. 81, Were con-
siderably startled last night by the
explosion of the gas tank under the
dining car. while the train was run
ming, just north of Quantico, about I
O'Clock. The train was a long one, and
the dining-car was filled with Florida
passengers. who received considerable
shock when the explosion occurred.
Vice. President Garrett, of the Sea-
board; General Counsel James Byrne,
Mr.. l.. NJ. Williams and Mr.. William B.
West, of Richmond, were among the
diners, and joined promptly in efforts
to remove the passengers and quell
the disturbance. Owing to the prompt
work of the train crew. aided by these
gentlemen. no one was injured, and,
after fighting fire for nearly two hours,
the train was able to come on to
Richmond.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Moler, of the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac, and sad as its crew Flag
man Youe and Baggagemau Bowles,
with Engineer Hawks and Fireman Bugg.
Officials are of the opinion that there
must have been some obstruction on
the track, one end of which was sucked
up by the motion of the train, and which
caused Il great rending and crashing
sound under the dining car, creating al
most a panic inside.
The emergency brake was applied and
the train was brought to a stop. Flag
man Youell with a lantern went to look
under tho dining car to investigate,
when flashing explosion occurred and
the whole under side OF the car was in
flames.
The obstruction must have caused the
sasoene tank that supplies the light to
spring aeeak. and this tank was shortly
on tire.
Vice President Garrett, with great cool
ness and presence of mind. took charge
of the situation. directing the engine to
be brought up on the parallel track, and
stream of water was soon playing on
the burning car. Passengers and train
crew assisted. with buckets, and spades
throwing water and dirt on the blaze.
The car was constructed with a
heavy sheet-ron plate under the floor
so that, by keeping this constantly
wet, the flames did not spread to the

underneath boing burned. The fire
was not effectiyely checked until the
sasolcne in the tank had entirely
leaked out. and the train then came
on to Richmond. reaching here about
1890 z. NJ, nearly two hours late.
The Atlantic Coast Line Florida Spe-
cial was following not far behind the
Seaboard train, and was also delayed
for some time by the accident, the
crew of that train coming to the as
sistance of the flre-hghters.
Witnesses give the highest praise to
the engine and train crews, who We're
constantly in imminent risk from explod-
ing gasolene, and who maintained the!l
ground and made a splendid fight to save
the car.
Both trains We're crowded with people
and for some time excitement was in
tense, the cooler heads among the pas
sengers alone preventing 3 panic.
The officials Of the railroad at Guam
tico were unable to ascertain the cause
of the accident last night. but more
careful investigation will be made to-day.

Washington, Jan. 12.-"The presl-
dent action in dismissing these men
was nothing more nor less than
Jvnchinp." This was only one Of the
MANY bitter exclamations Of Senator
Ti,lnaan in his speech before the SEN
ate this afternoon on the Brownsville
affair.
In a voice trembling with emotion
he charged President Roosevelt with
reviving the race issue and bringing
about conditions more threatening
than those Of 1861. Said he: "Pres-
dent Roosevelt is more responsible
than any other man for the present
nosition of the negro in and out Of the
south. He gave Booker Washington
recognition socially, and made a mess
of that worse than the Brownsville
affair. Is the president ready to act
up to his own theory and hayehis own
children marry men and women OF
other races? Would he accept as
daughter-in-law Chinese, Malay,
indian or negro? All know he would
not"

TO ENJOY A GOOD DINNER.
How to Avoid Distress and Indigestion
After Eating.

Let US tell you how you can enjoy
a good dinner, so that the heartiest
meal will set we'll on your stomach
and cause no unpleasant and dis
agreeable after effects.
We will show you how to regain the
appetite of your childhood and the
enjoyment Of food, so that it will taste
as well as when mother cooked the
dinner.
There is no hard work necessary to
do this; no indeed of rigid and self
denying diet list; no call for nasty and
disagreeable medicines. Simply take
a Mona stomach tablet before each
meal and before going to bed ,and it
will so strengthen the stomach that
before long a hearty meal will give
you qualification and comfort, with
out the least fear Of distress and suf-
fering.
The strongest proof we can offer
of our faith in this advice, is the fact
that J. F. w. DeLorme gives an alb
solute, unqualified guarantee (apply-
ing to two soc boxes Of Mi-o-na), that
your money will be refunded unless
Mi-o-na cures. A guarantee like this
gives you confidence in Mi-o-na. He
takes the whole risk, and the remedy
will not cost you a penny unless it
cures.
Mi-o-na is not mere digestive, Civ
ing only temporary relief, but
specific for all diseases of the ston-
ach, strengthening the digestive or
gans and making permanet cure.
