of the craft Of detection. His oddities. however
DO not prevent his going TO the point with Ousl-
nesslike thoroughness. The thing that Is I'M
possible for other men merely causes him 10 re-
fleet, and out Of reflection comes. in due course
the settlement of even the darkest mystery IN
deed in the first Of these stories. Professor Van
Dusen is disclosed in a mood of such compla-
cent conviction as TO his ability to prove the
superiority Of mind over matter that he under
takes to escape within a given time from the
highest cell to be found in a well managed pen
itentiary. When he has demonstrated his pow
ers he amiably shows TO the astounded men
who have tried to conquer him that the man
agement Of his escape was pretty nearly SIM
plicity itself In all of the other stories the
explanation turns out to be of much the same
sort but this does not that the author
fails in his purpose Of bewilderment. On the
contrary. he holds the threads of narrative in
his hand with remarkable skill, and never re-
lakes the tension until the psychological mo-
ment for revelation has arrived. Readers who
enjoy stories of mystery and the detection of
crime will be very happy with The Thinking
Machine"

TRAIN WRECK IN KANSAS
Head-on Collision Occurs on Rock
Island Near Alta Vista.
Thirty-three Persons Are Dead And SIS
Injured-Operator At Volland
Blamed by Officials.

Topeka, Kansas. = Two white men,
a negro train porter and about
so Mexican laborers, lost their lives
and SO persons were injured when
two passenger trains on the Chicago
Rock Island & Pacific railroad col
lided head-on four miles west of Vol
land, Kan, at $40 o'clock Wednesday
morning
The trains wee Nos. 30 and 30
running between Chicago and FL
Paso. They met on sharp curve
with fearful impact. Adding to the
horror of the collision, fire from the
lamps in the cars and from the To-
comotives was communicated to the
splintered wreckage and spread rap
idly, consuming five of the forward
cars Of train No. 20, westbound, and
burning a number of the passengers
All but three of those who persisted
are thought to have been Mexican
laborers, who were on their way
from Columbus Junction, Ohio, to Mex
leo.
TIE officials of the company place
the blame on John Lynes, the 10 year
old telegraph operator, at Volland,
who failed to stop train No 30 at his
station after receiving orders 10 hold
it there until No. so had passed.
By the light of the flaming wreck
age, passengers who were uninjurel
worked heroically to save those who
were pinned fast beneath the mass of
splintered timbers and twisted iron
work. The lack of tools to work with
in chopping away the sides of the
cars was a great hindrance to the
early rescue work.
In an hour and half from the time
of the wreck the first relief train,
from Mcfarland, Kan, bringing sur
geons and helpers, reached the scene.
In the meantime the rescue work
was bein.; pushed by volunteers,
while surgeons for miles around
promptly responded to the calls for
their services. Another relief train
from Topeka and two wreclking
trains soon arrived and all of the
dead and injured that had been taken
from the wreck were brought to this
city, where the injured were placed
in hospitals. Two injured Mexicans
died on the way to Topeka and Link,
the negro porter, died at Stormont
hospital shortly after being taken
there. When Link was rescued it
was necessary to tear his leg from
his body to extricate him from the
wreckage

Washington Of Lincoln's Day.

DR.. Johannes Rosing, who was at
tache to the Bremen and Hanseatic
legations at Washington during the
civil war, and who later became con-
sui general of the North German Con-
federation at New York, publishes in
the Weser-Zeitung extracts from his
"reminiscences, dealing rather init
mately with conditions in Washington
Immediately preceding the first Lin
coin Inauguration. The federal capt.
tai of the time, he remarks by the
way, was hardly the present, brilliant
"city of magnificent distances" The
streets, which were unpaved, and as
rule uncleaned, were a habitat for
domestic animals of all descriptions,
except after n heavy rain, when they
reminded Lord Lyons, the British
minister, of the turbid flood of Father
Tiber. On one occasion horse and
its rider were drowned on Pennsylva-
mia avenue, and like fate almost
overlook the Italian minister on his
way home from the second Inaugural
ton of Mr.. Lincoln. The coach fell
into a hole and was wrecked, and the
minister was saved only through the
devotion of a negro, who plunged to
his rescue and carried him out of
danger on his back, Aeneas-like.
