EXPLOSION OF CAR OF POWDER
WRECKS PASSENGER TRAIN
ON THE BIG FOUR.


/ Track, the Cars Being Demolished
and Their Occupants Either Blown
to Pieces, Consumed by the Fire
That Followed or Rescued in More
or Less injured Condition.
Terre Haute, Ind, Jan. 2l.-Twenty-
seven charred, broken and mutilated
bodies have been taken from the
smouldering ruins of passenger train
No. 5 on the Cleveland, Chicago Gin
natl and St. Louis railroad (Big Four)
which was destroyed by the explosion
Of carload of powder as 1t passed a
freight train at Sandford, Ind. nine
miles west of here
The entire train, including the en-.
ginc, was blown from the track, the
coaches demolished, the engine hurled
fifty feet and the passengers either
blown to pieces, consumed by fire or
rescued in more or less injured con-
dition
Al least thirty-iive injured, some
fatally, are at the hospitals in Terre
Haute and Paris, Ill. Several are also
being cared for at Sandford
According to trainmen Of the
freight the explosion of the powder
was caused by the concussion made
by the passenger train, which was
slowing down for the station at Sand
! ford. Another theory is that gas es-
Gaping from an oil pipe line nearby
entered the car containing the powder
and spark from the passing engine
| ignited the gas. Cars were literally
hurled to pieces by the awful force of
the explosion. Huge masses of iron
were found hundreds of feet from the
track. The tank of the passenger en-
gine was hurled 100 feet, landing in
a gravel road. Two passenger coaches
were consumed by fire, which broke
out in the wreckage. The freight en-
gine that was hauling the car of pow
der was demolished. Eight freight
cars were wrecked and burned. The
others we're pulled out of danger. Not
home in Sandford escaped damage.

food as well as beverage. The cart
driven through the streets Of Jamaica
by the quaint old darby urging along
his rebellious steed in the form of a
native donkey is an interesting sight
One is amazed at the dextrous man
ner in which the vender takes the I'M
ripe cocoanut in his hand and deftly
cuts hole in the top, from which you
drink the milk. Then you return the
nut to the man, and with his machete
he cracks it into three pieces and cuts
spoon shaped silver from one side,
from which you eat the white. Jelly.

These are the unripe cocoanuts. When
ripe the jelly hardens into the hard

Hierapolis is d strange ruined city

200 3. G. and a large part of the place

water Of hot springs. The country
round Hierapolis is today infested with

place under an armed guard of Turkish
soldiers says: The temperature Of the
springs is that OF very warm bath
and while hot there is not trace OF
that petrifying element which renders
the waters SO remarkable after they
have cooled and causes them to turn to
stone every object they encounter after
very slight immersion. The swimming
bath itself is about fifty feet to sixty
feet IN length and in many places from
twelve to fifteen feet deep, and is today
almost as it was in Roman times. The
opportunity to take natural hot bath
was not lost upon the writer The
floor and sides and steps are Of white
marble and the depth varies to suit the
convenience Of the swimmer Some
great upheaval has brought down the

the sides Of the bath and they lie across
it in picturesque disorder, some almost

The water flows out Of the basin In

substance and no living thing or plant

J NAMING A TOWN.

How Abilene Came to he Selected by
Mrs. Jersey. n.
IL Abilene was named BY the wife OF
the founder Of the town, T.: F. Hersey.
With her husband she had come to
central Kansas IN the spring OF 1857.
They lived In q log house on the west
side OF Mud creek and were the first
settlers on the town site, although no
town then existed nor was there one
until 1860. Then G. 81. Thompson, who
had moved to the county from Leaven-
worth, bought from the Kansas Pa
cific Railway company tract east OF
Hersey's and laid outsa town. N
When it came to the naming Of the
future city Mr.. Thompson went to
Hersey and asked him to suggest a

Mrs. Hersey was a graduate Of a
seminary in the east, and her little
library, which she carried with her In
her wanderings, was one OF the ties
that bound her to the girlhood life She
was a devout Methodist and knew her
Bible from Cover to cover" When
she was asked to name the town she
turned to the New Testament for sug-
gestion. There, in the third chapter of
Luke, first verse, she found this: Now
