PALMER.

A wreck on the Boston & Albany, near the Glen, Thursday forenoon about 8.3O injured a number of people and blocked one track for about 24 hours. It was a through train from the west, composed mostly of Pullman cars. The accident was caused by Q defective rail, and the last six cars of the train went off the iron and toppled over against soft bank. It was an ideal place to fall against, and much more yielding than the lodges which are prevalent in the vicinity. So gently did the cars blow into the bank that very few windows were broken in them. Quite 8 number of people were taking break fast in the dining car, and when it stopped tipping over the orders were all mixed up. A young man who had not ordered eggs at all had eggs all over him. When the cook got separated from his utensils he broke out part of the overhead window, which had formerly been on the side, and crawled up where he could get better view of Quaboag valley.
 The train was made up of three baggage cars, one smoking car, one day coach and five Pullman cars, the rear car being a dining car. The train had slowed up somewhat. but was going at a good gait when it struck the bad rail, throwing over the last six cars, the coach and Pullmans against the embankment. The en- zine, three baggage cars and smoker did not leave the irons. Word was sent to Palmer at once, and doctors and nurses were telephoned for, as it was feared that there were serious injuries. There proved to be no loss of life or serious injury.

By this time Gen. Young had pulled himself
together, and he said quickly: 4 have visited
Chicago and Cincinnati" The emperor roared
and went over and shared the joke with the
empress.
When Young came out of the civil war he
dropped his brigadier generalship of volunteers
for second Heutenancy of regulars. At the
beginning Of the SpanishAmerican war Gen.
Young was sent to Cuba as brigadier gen.
eral.
Prior to the outbreak of the war Theodore
Roosevelt had said to Gen. Young that he
would like to go to the front with the cavalry
mer-to the real front, where there were bull
lets flying.
After the battle of Las Guasimas, the man
who afterward became president of the United
States came up to Gen. Young with look of
joy all over his face, held out his hand, and
said: by George. general. you certainly made
good on those bullets"
Yellow fever laid its hand on Gen. Young
in Cuba. AS soon as he had recovered he
went to the Philippines and was there in &C.
tive service in the field for several years. He
succeeded Gen. Miles as chief of the genera.

retired from the service about four years ago,
after having followed the flag for 43 years.

his house the moment l was released
from my last engagement, but it was
late and the lights were on. He sent
word down that he was dressing for

have me come directly to his dressing

rather flamboyant gown, sitting incon-
grouously beside his sisters dainty
little dressing table, with its pink
shaded candles.
He put down a silver-backed brush

interest. 1t was exceedingly direct
and simple-as unadorned and simple
as the lady who had indited it: Mrs.
Anson Dimes, for the privilege of u.s.

The bishop nodded solemnly.

"Ah, is it possible?"
Mrs. Dimes admits co." he replied.

ce1lOrSVllle that Miles received the wound that
the surgeon said would kill him. He fooled
the surgeons, got we'll and received a medal of
honor from congress for conspicuous gallantry
on the field of battle, and with the medal came
commission which gave him the right to
wear star in his shoulder knot.
On that day at Charlottesville, Miles was
holding line of abattis and rifle pits against
a tremendous force of the enemy. He was in
command Of the skirmish line in front of the
first division of the Second Army corps In
order to hearten his men Miles constantly ex-
posed himself to the fire of the enemy. He
stood upright in the open, counting bullets and
possible death. The confederates couldn't hit
him for a long time. The inspiration Of his
conduct enabled his men to hold their ground
long after it seemed certain that the enemy
would drive them back. Finally bullet
found its mark, and Miles went down with a
wound that ranged downward through his
body into his thigh. producing an injury that
made the surgeons say death" but neverthe-
less, death did not come
At the battle of Fredericksburg, Miles was
shot in the throat. 1t was jagged wound
that bed profusely and caused great pain He
was ordered to go to the rear. The order
came from superior, and so, solderlike, Miles
obeyed, though he didn't want to CO. At the
time of the Fredericksburg fight Miles already
had won considerable fame as a soldier He
was known to all the generals of the service.
While on his way to the hospital he came up
with Gen. Hancock.
Miles put his hand to his throat so that Han
cc~k wouldn't know he was wounded. At the
frrnt was stone wall. behind which force
o. the enemy was located. This force was do
ing great damage to the unionists. Miles
pointed to the wall and told Hancock that q
well-directed charge would take it. and then
he said: General, l want to lead the charge"
Hancock knew courage when he saw it,
but he also knew wounded man when he
saw one. He made Miles go to the rear, be.
cause of his condition. but he took good care
that his courage was made a matter of
mention.
1t is probable that military men regard Gen.
