Freight Wreck on Southern.

There was a disastrous wreck on
the Southern Railway near Winona
about four o'clock yesterday morn
ing, when a number of freight cars
attached to a westbound extra freight
broke loose and rolled backward
down a steep grade, crashing into
westbound freight No. 81, which was
standing at the foot of the grade.
The wreck resulted in quite an ex-
tended damage to the equipment, the
locomotive attached to freight No.
81 having been badly battered up
and seventeen cars having left the
track.
Only one man was hurt in the
wreck, Will Shepard, a negro fire
man, having received injuries which,
while painful, are not considered Sc
riouS.
AS a result of the accident the
track was blocked for several hours
and traffic was seriously interfered
| with, it having been necessary to
transfer passengers at the scene OF
! the wreck until the debris was clear
ed away.

In Behalf of the Children.

Mr. Editor have not learned to
skate, but have had considerable eX-
perience along the line of paying for
our cement sidewalks. / regret to
see that some of our good citizens
would take away from the children
the splendid open air exercise and
the thrilling and healthful pleasure
they have in skating on the side
walks. The fear these good people
entertain of injury to the sidewalks
is, l am sure, without foundation.
If the cement is what it ought to be
it is inconceivable that the wheels OF
skates passing over them with the
light burden of a boy or girl could
injure the surface. This splendid
pastime engages both mind and body
of the children, and is an ideal sport
and exercise for them. Let us not
mar the pleasure of hundreds of chill
dren and young men and ladies, for
the bare possibility of injury to the
sidewalks. Cement is harder and re-
sists abrasions better than stone, as
you will see by looking at the city
hall steps. Citizen.
