WORK OF Villain
SOME FiEND WRECKS SWIFT PAS.
SENGER TRAIN AND CAUSES
DEATH.
FATAL CALIFORNIA DISASTER
Ties Wire to Loosened Rails and Pulls
Just as Heavy Loaded Tains
Approaches

Los Angeles, Cal.-Train No. 20, the
Shore line limited, one of the South
ern Pacific's line flyers due at o'clock
on night Of May 81, wrecked at the
West Glendale, ten miles north of here,
at 1890 in the morning The wreck
was the deliberate work CT train
wreckers. One man was killed and
twenty-five persons injured, three prob
ably fatally.
In accomplishing the wreck of the
train, which was the coast limited, a
devilish ingenuity had been exercised.
At point on trestle over the Arroyo
Seco, the fishplates and bolts of two
connecting rails on the southbound
track had been removed, and in the
apertures whence the bolts were taken
strands of heavy wire were fastened
at the end of each rail- From the ap-
pearance of the track, after the wreck,
it was evident that some person hid
den on a hillside close to the trestle
had pulled the wire as the train ap-
preached and spread the rails outward
toward the edge of the trestle.
The train, three hours late, was trav-
cling between thirty-five and forty
miles an hour. The engine wheels were
first to leave the rails, and the engine
took to the ties, travelling nearly 100
yards before it was brought to stand
still. The tender, the diner, two Pull
mans, the buffet, mail and baggage
| cars plugged over the edge of the tres
tie, falling sixteen feet. The buffet
car the express car and one of the
Pullmans were turned completely up
side down, and the others landed on
their sides. All were badly crushed
and splintered.

II Made Him wo,oer.

A Scotchman in search of work was
recently given employment as a la
borers at Cramps shipyard. His first
job was to carry several heavy planks.
After he had been at it for about two
hours he went to the foreman and
said:
Did All tell ye ma name when I
started to work."
''Yes," replied the foreman, you
said it was Tomson."
'Oh, then it's a right" said the
Scot, as he looked toward to the pile
OF planks he had yet to carry. "Ah
was jist a-wunnerin' If lou thocht All
said it was Samson"

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
we're new.

Eddy, high priestess of Christian Sci
ence, is worth nearly $1,000,000, ac-
cording to total of figures filed in an
affidavit relative to her personal prop
erty, added to Alfred Farlow's yalua-
ton of her real estate, $SS,000.
In actual figures, this total is $685.
384.60. This is the first close figure
of her riches-no longer secret.
Taking 1t for granted that the bond
of 100000 filed by the three trustees
to whom Mr.. Eddy recently made over
her property represented twice the
value of her taxable property, the Con-
cord assessor this year assessed Mrs.
Eddy's property at 1868, $50, practically
five times as great as last year, when
she was assessed for S54 $50.
George A. Foster, the assessor from
Ward Z, said that inasmuch as no re-
turn had been made of Mrs. Eddy's
taxable property to the Board of AS
SCISSORS, he had gone on the assumption
that the bond of her trustees was
about twice the value of her estate
and fixed the assessment accordingly.
OF the total of $685., ,3S4.64, the value
of the real estate holdings here and in
Boston is, at the far low estimate, $685.
900. Her Pleasant View home here
alone is worth anywhere from $4,000
to $4,000, while her residence stand
ing at 3S7 Commonwealth avenue
stands her at least $4,000 to the good.
The remainder of her riches are con-
tanned in bonds and securities locked
up in the vaults of the Loan and Trust
Savings Bank of this city and worth
a grand total of almost $500, 900, as dis
closed by the affidavit filed.
In this affidavit, filed by Fred N.
Ladd, treasurer of the Loan and Trust
Company, cath is taken that on the af-
ternoon of March 9th of this year Mrs.
Eddy had in his institution bonds
worth $77S,770. to be exact. He says
he and the trustees-the same trustees
who put up a bond of half million
went to the bank and saw these secur-
tiles for themselves.

MRS.NELLIE. MARKHAM

A nervous irritable woman, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
erable herself.
Such women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like a fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, h e
blues. sleeplessness. and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
treme irritability Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
baclsache, bearing down pains. nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappy? If SO,
your nerves are in shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing
in the world is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia e..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots and herbs.
Thousands and thousands of women
can testify to this fact.

Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From the
