Four Engines Meet Head-on.

About midnight last Thursday night
Richard Spohn, the night operator at
the telephone exchange in Shepherds
town, was awakened from a nap BY a
loud ringing of the telephone bell,
and when he got to the phone an ex-
cited voice begged him to hustle with
all speed to the Norfolk & Western
Railroad and flag a double-header
freight train bound north. Richard
flung on a garment or two, put on his
shoes without socks, and bolted for
the track. Just as he struck the
pavement the train went -a-humming
through town, over the bridge and
far away. 1t was second S8, bound
straight for Hagerstown, and there
wasn't an open telephone or telegraph
Office between it and another double.
header, special, that had been sent
out from that place without having a
passing point fixed. The train de-
spatcher who had tried to remedy the
mistake by telephone could only wait
for bad news when Richard reported
that he was too lste-and it coon
came. Fortunately both trains were
running slowly about mile north OF
Mondell, going up a stiff grade each
way, when they met head-on. Every
body on the engines had chance to
jump, and Enginemen Howard Moore,
James Clingan, Roger Hemphill and
Ezekiel Moore and their 6remen de-
scribed graceful evolutions as they
leaped for life. The locomotives
banged into each other pretty hard,
doing three of them up somewhat bad
ly, and both trains came to a sudden
stop, but fortunately none of the Grew
was seriously hurt.
Several days afterward while two
of the engines were being taken to
Roanoke for repairs, they figured in
another smash. up, running into the
rear end of freight train at Basic
City and putting them out of com.
mission entirely.

Easy to Mix This.
What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from New York daily paper,
giving simple prescription, as form
ulated by a noted authority, who
claims that he has found positive
remedy to cure almost any case Of
backache or kidney or bladder de-
rangement, in the following simple
prescription, if taken before the stage
of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Ksrgon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well.known druggist here at
home. when asked regarding this pre-
scription, stated that the Ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
at a small cost from any good pre-
prescription pharmacy, or the mix
turs would be put up if asked to do
90. He further stated that while this
prescription is often prescribed in
rheumatic affections with splendid re.
suits, he could see no reason why ii
would not be splendid remedy for
kidney and urinary troubles and
backachs, as it has apeculiar action
upon the structure, cleansing these
most important organs and helping
them to sift and filter from the blood
the foul acids and waste matter which
cause sickness and suffering. Those
of our readers who suffer can make
no mistake in giving it trial.

GRS,WIS Stranger
MRS. BRADLEY HELPED BY TES-
TIMONY INTRODUCED RY AT
TCENEYS WE.0 KNEW OF HER
RELATIONS WITH BROWN.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. "a
Albert r. Barnes, assistant attorney
general of Utah resumed the stand
today in the trial of Mrs. Bradley.
Mrs. Bradley carried a large white
chrysanthemum which had been pre-
scented her and listened closely as
Barnes told of the interviews with
her concerning Brown. After an in
terview with Brown the witness told
Mrs. Bradley that in his opinion
Brown would never marry her, that
he was deceiviug her and advised her
to give up the idea and make the
hest of it.
Mrs Bradley appeared very un-
happy, depressed and agitated or
hearing this news. The witness said
Mrs. Bradley seemed insane on the
subject of Brown ana evidently
Brown controlled her absolutely.
Judge j. H. Henderson, formerly a
law partner of Browns, testified to
several interviews with Mrs. Brad,
ley. in one of which he advised her
to stay away from the office He told
of an effort by both Mrs. Bradley and
Mrs Prown to get the senator to
sign a statement in order that di-
vorce might he procured.
henderson said Senator Brown
said in his and Mrs. Bradley's pres
ence that Mrs. Brown had been {,
curse to him and that he would not
resume his relations with her.
When asked if Mrs. Bradley's
story did not cause him to lay his
head on the desk and sob, Judge
Henderson stated it was not at that
interview Henderson defended
Brown until he found Mrs. Brad
ley's delicate condition and he then
washed his hands of the case.
He said Brown was the most &c
centric character he had ever
known He was always angry at
somebody, which remark caused
Mrs. Bradley to burst into a broad
laugh.
A recess was taken art 1880 with
Lavman H. Shrewsbury, uncle OF
Mrs Bradley, on the stand. His tes-
timony showed the insanity of Mrs
BradIey's family. Shrewsbury relat'
ed incidents showing the tendency
to insanity on the mothers side.
Efforts of the defense to strength
en- the plea of insanity will be made
by introducing the expert testimony
of several noted alienists who are
present and expected to take the
stand today.
All witnesses for the Bradley de-
fense from Salt Lake City have been
excused and allowed to return home
Several suggestions of financial
i. belp have reached Mrs. Bradley
One writes from Ann Arbor offering
to send s25. Another has started
