A COSTLY WRECK
Engineer Hopkins Seriously Burned.
Fireman Injured

Thursday morning a freight train
was approaching Trilby from the south
with Engineer Hopkins, of this place,
at the throttle. a pile Of cord wood
some 500 feet long was on fire, and
the engineer put on all speed to make
dash through the flames. The heat
from the fire had warped the rails and
the engine left the track and plowed
through the wood fire. Six cars also
left the track. One was a car OF
oranges. two cars of steel rails, and
three cars loaded with merchandise.
The engine was turned over, and il
and the cars were reduced 10 a pile Of
scrap iron. The loss is total.
Engineer Hopkins jumped right
into the wood fire and then crept
through the seething mass Of live Goals
to a space without the zone Of heat,
where he was found by the conductor
unconscious. He was taken 10 Triiby
and will be sent TO the railroad hos
pital at Waycross. He is seriously
burned and otherwise injured. The
fireman was injured by jumping. A
track has been built around the wreck

THE sARAcA ENTERTAINMENT

The Baraca class of the Baptist
church gave under the auspices. Of the
First Baptist church at the armory
last night one of the best plays with
local talent that was ever given in the
city among the younger set. There was
a good musical program for the first
part which was much appreciated. 1t
was followed by laughable farce en-
titled THE Great Kidnapping and
reach of Promise Case
Each and every member Of the play
cid his part we'll and from start TO
finish the audience was kept highly
amused and interested. The atten-
dance was good, almost every seat in
the armory being taken. The play and
advertisements on the program netted
the boys a neat sum which will be
used for church purposes. Much hard
work and infinite pains and many
hours of their evening time was put in
on rehearsing the play to make ii the
success it was, and the young men OF
the Baraca class deserve a great deal
of praise for their efforts.

new KIND OF RAILS.
The Santa Fe Has Made an Order for
10000 Tons.

New York, July 12.-The specifications
of an order for 10000 tons of steel rails
given to the Bethlehem Steel company
are interesting in view of the contro-
versy which has been going on for some
time between the manufacturers of rails
and the railroads. The latter have been
making a protest against the quality of
the rails and the way they have been
breaking. The specifications in the con-
tracts, which were awarded by the San
ia Fe and the Lackawanna are more
stringent than they have been in the
past.
They require that 25 per cent of the
ingot be discarded from the top and
that the rails contain not more than
.04 per cent of sulphur. The cutting off
of the top of the ingot is to eliminate
the steel which is likely to be impaired
by the raising of gas and other impuri-
ties to the surface In the past the
mills have been cutting off from 8 to
13 Per cent and contracts have been
calling for Op0n hearth rails containing
not more than 90 per cent of sulphur.
Rails on these terms viii of course cost
considerably more.
The Santa Fe order was for 10000
tons and the Lackawanna for 10000
tons.

A NEW DEPARTMENT STORE.
E. ZanditOn Will Open a Large Mer-
camille Establishment in September.

A new department store will be
opened by Mr.. E. Zanditon on Kansas
avenue about September first. This
store is expected to be one of the
largest department stores in the state.
The Crawford opera house building
that is now being remodeled for the
store will be of the latest type and
most improved structure in the city
and when the new stock has been in
stalled, it will no doubt be a pride to
the city.
In speaking of the new store, Mr.
Zanditon said: at will leave shortly
for the eastern market for the purpose
of buying merchandise. 1 shall visit
Boston, New York. Philadelphia and
Cleveland. and in fact all points that
will be of advantage for the purchase
of merchandise. I buy all of my goods
directly from the manufacturer at the
mills and factories. a fact which gives
me an advantage over those buying
from wholesalers and jobbers. In this
way I am able to buy goods cheaper
and this has been the cause in a large
degree, of my success. I expect to
open the store for business between
September 1 and Is, and will carry in
stock all goods that truly belong to a
department store of this class. I Will
continue to cater to the masses with
popular priced merchandise as 1 have
done heretofore"

WHAT IS WAR?

The Hague, July 1.-THE French
proposition regarding declarations of
war and the opening of hostilities and
the amendments thereto were today

proposal which was to the effect that
there will be a declaration of war be-
fore the opening of hostilities, General
Horace Porter observing that while
in accordance with the constitution the

SEALED PACKAGE PLAN.
Packers and Commission Men Reach
Basis of Agreement.

Chicago July 1.-THE ''sealed pack
age system of buying cattle at the
Chicago stock yards has been adopted
as compromise at a meeting between
representative of the Chicago Livestock
exchange and the packers. Negotia-
tions have been pending for several
weeks between the commission men and
the packers and no agreement could be
reached on any other basis.
The packers held out for a system
of purchasing cattle at the yards where
by stock found to be infected with GER
tain diseases could be rejected after the
purchase. The commission men main
tanned that such a system was unfair
and gave the packers an undue advan-
tage over the cattle owners and COM
mission men. Under the agreement the
packing house buyers will make per-
chases at their own risk. They will be
given the right of examination, but
once selections have been made and
prices agreed upon the sale will be re-
garded as completed and any subse-
quent losses will fall upon the pur-
chaSerS.

0UIDA'S HARD LUCK.
Noted Novelist Is Blind, Deaf and
Living in Poverty.

London. July 12.-The Florence CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail sends
lengthy details of the recent life of the
novelist, Qufda, who is living in poverty
In Italy. and to whom, according to an
nouncement made yesterday, a pension
of $3.50 has been granted from the civil
list. The correspondent says until two
years ago Miss De Ia Rance occupied
a splendid villa at Lucca She was
known as the lady of the dogs" as she
invariably had thirty. Her intense fond
ness for dogs caused her on one occasion
10 give meal of milk, bread and meat
TO every dog in Lucca She paid the
Dlll Tor the extraordinary banquet will
ingly although heavy debts We're crowd
ing upon her through her utter ignor-
ance of the value of money.
1t was soon after this that she had a
dispute with her landlord. This led to
lnree lawsuits which Ouida won but the
COSTS 1urther crippled her purse and her
landlord then turned her out
For time she went to a hotel ar Via
reggie, but again thoughtless expendi-
lures exhausted her resources Her
plight now was such that she passed a
night under the trees on the sea front
The remaining few of her large family
of dogs were at her side. Here her
maids mother found her at 3 O'Clock in
the morning and took her to her humble
cottage where she kept her for several
months.
That homeless night on the chilly
beach caused Ouida to lose the sight of
her left eye and also brought about
deafness. In February last she went to
another hotel at Via Reggie where she
remained until July 6,when, being again
in financial straits, she went with her
ex-maid's mother to the village of
Massarosa, five miles distant, where
she is now living in milkman's squalid
cottage.
