STRUCK IN OPEN SWITCH
Frfgh htfuI Loss of Life Near Bridge
port, Conn, ON the \. ", \. H.
and H. Railroad

Bridgeport, Conn, July 12.-Many
lives. proba bly, twenty. were crushed
out instantly. and sixty or seventy
persons were injured frightfully, when
the federal express. running from
Washington TO Boston, over the New
York. New Haven and Hartford rail
road, was hurled over a viaduct here
by an open switch.
Fire broke out in the wreckage,
adding to the torture of the suffering
and imprisoned passengers. The fire
department extinguished the flames
and firemen assisted in rescuing the
injured. Ambulanees carrying doctors
hurried TO the scene and did their
best TO save those under the debris.
The express left Harlem River one
hour late. shortly after o'clock yes
terday morning. II was going at a
high rate of speed when the open
switch. one mile and a half west Of
Bridgeport, was struck The switch
was near the tower. There was a tre-
mendous crash, an instant of intense
silence, then the groans and shrieks Of
the wounded rent the air.
The wreck of the train was a most
complete one. Five cars Of the long
train went over the viaduct and only
three cars were left on the track. The
engine. drawing the train was twisted
into junk and was thrown 200 feet
away. Behind the locomotive were
the mail and baggage cars. The Pull
mans and the coaches We're almost en-
tirely crushed. 1t was here that most
of the deaths occurred. Three Pull
mans were badly battered up. The
passengers in them were protected on
account of the superior strength Of
the equipment of cars of this class.
The Engineer Died at His Post
In the wreckage of the locomotive
was found the body of the engineer,
who died at his post. his hand still
grasping the throttle lever
| A baby about a year old, was found
| in a car alive. In another coach a
woman was taken out alive, but her
child lay dead beside her.

PERIL TO GAS WORKERS
IS DECLARED NEEDLESS
Takoma Park Citizens Want
Helmets Worn When Con-
nections Are Made.

The narrow escape Of more than a dozen
men from asphyxiation in Takoma Park
recently. while large gas connection was
being made, was a subject for discussion
last night at a meeting. of the Takoma
Park Citizens Association, in the Takoma
Public Library.
One of the cases. it was said. proved al
most fatal, requiring twenty minutes Of
artificial respiration before recovery was
assured. 1t was asserted the accident
easily could have been prevented had the
employees of the gas company been prop
erly equ pped for making such connec-
lions. Helmets and other apparatus for
protecting the lives Of the men while en-
gagged in making connections, it was stat
ed. are used when mains larger than
twelve inches are connected. It was :
gued that similar equipments should be
used in making connect .ons in mains OF
smaller size.
At the conclusion of the discussion reso-
lutions were adopted requesting the Dis
trict Commissioners to make an investiga-
ton.
Prof r. T. Galloway, in a letter to +.
L. Lewton, chairman of the parks and
parking committee, stated that he had
the sum of sos on deposit, collected sew
eral years ago, to be expended for ad-
vancing and identifying Takoma Park.

CROPS ARE DAMAGED
BY RISING OF RIVER
Chattahoochee River IL Feet
Above Normal Valuable
Farm Lands Inundated.

Crops which have been planted in the
lowlands bordering the Chattahoochee
river are seriously damaged as the result
of the heavy rainfall during the past
several days, and many acres OF valu-
able farm lands in which crops have
been recently planted. or which have
just been laid of preparatory to planting
are completely inundated. At 6 o'clock
wednesday evening the river had risen
eight feet in the vicinity OF Atlanta, and
Thursday morning it was IL feet above
normal and was reported to be still ris-
ing.
The extent of damage to crops is hard
to estimate, the greatest loss being in
the corn crop. Many planters had laid
of their fields preparatory to planting,
and will now be compelled to do the work
over. Thursday the tributaries of the
Chattahoochee were all high and there
was little indication of their falling soon.
1t is expected that much valuable farm
land win be under water for several
days.
Reports from the northern sections Of
the state indicate that the farmers OF
the l6wlands have suffered heavy losses.
Practically every river bottom farm in
the northern section of the state is under
water.
The city waterworks plant has not been
affected by the rise of the river, and
1t is thought that it will escape injury.

Wyandotte chickens from a few days to
as many weeks old.
Each of the individual breeders is
surrounded by small wired run and
chickens which have outgrown the
brooders are allowed to run at liberty
in the brooder pen before being turned
into their respective runs.
In supplying water for the different
runs and pens Mr.. DuBose has adopted
a novel plan which he states can be
successfully followed by any other
breeders of poultry. A large barrel
is located at a sufficient elevation 70
be higher than any of the runs. From
this large home made tank small pipes
are connected with the different runs.
BY faucets the outlet of the water m
the barrel is regulated and is allowed
to "trickle" into pans continually The
bottoms of the pans are penetrated
and a small pipe inserted which ex-
tends into the ground beneath to dis
lance of a foot. The stale water runs
down this pipe and is absorbed in the
earth while fresh water is kept con-
tinually running into the pans.
FRESH WATER SUPPLIED
In this way the chickens have just
as fresh water as If they had access
to a running stream. On extremely

soil IL. provided heavy rains do not en-
sue. In that case you would have to
put the subsoiling of until the autumn.
This spring plant the land to cowpeas,
velvet beans or SOY beans. These crops
may be grazed during the summer by
hogs. calves, sheep or even mature cat
tie. OF course. stock should not be
turned on until the crop has reached
some degree of maturity. The hogs viii
make better gains. for instance, If the
crops are in just about the right condi-
ton to cut for hay. Velvet beans may
not reach that stage In this part of the
state, and at any rate, are better
adapted for grazing by cattle than hogs.
BY growing crops of the character indi-
Gated and handling them as suggested,
you can secure a fair revenue from the
land II Is also possible to make some
hay. but whenever you commence the
practice of hay making, you are not do
ing much towards building up your soil,
since probably only one-fourth or one
fifth of the total nitrogen gathered by
the crop is left in the roots, stubble and
fallen leaves. The proper policy is TO
Craze the crop down and then turn the
refuse under. Plow it under as deeply
as possible and do this before frost falls
on the vines.
with a formula containing l to 2 per
cent OF nitrogen. 10 per cent of phos-
phoric acid and per cent of potash. If
the land were in better heart IL would
not be necessary to use any nitrogen,
and only a small amount is suggested in
order that the crop may be properly
stimulated when growth commences.
Sometimes in a favorable season IL may
be possible to cut of the early growth
and make into hay. and turn under the
second growth late in the fall. After
turning under the crop SOW the land to
vetch and oats, and plant in the open
furrow. Fertilize well with 2-S-4, and
harvest the oats and vetch next spring
for hay or grain. as you see proper.
Then again SOW to cowpeas TO be grazed
down and plowed under. Followiwith a
cover crop. such as rye or oats. and turn
under in the early spring for corn or
cotton. You will be surprised at the
results you secure in the way of an inn
provement in the fertility Of your land.

mercial fertilizers much more satisfae-
torily than formerly.
