u spreading rail. No lives were lost
and only one person seriously in

ter sustaining confusion of the
brain and other internal injuries
caused by being pinned under the
baggage car and having several
heavy trunks piled upon him.
Passengers give vivid accounts of
the fearful accident and state tlat
il was nothing short OF miraculous
that a great many of the passengers
Were not killed or severely injured.
The train was oae hour and thirty
five minutes late at Orlando and the
engineer was making up time and
necessarily the train was going at a
high rate of speed when the accident
occurred. The engine and mail car
passed over the broken or spreading
rail in safety. but the baggage car,
day coaches and Pullmans left the
rails, ran short distance on the ties
and then turned over. The baggage
car turned over several times bt fore
stopping. the car going one way and
the trucks the other. The day
coaches and Pullmans remained at an
angle of about 4j degrecs-turned
over too far for the passengers 10 do
more than crawl out on hands and
knees.
When the cars left the track the
passengers had time to brace them
selves before they turned, and In that
way all escaped without injuries, no
one receiving more than few Dain-
full bruises with the exception the
baggage master, and one lad, IN 4
day coach. who is reported to have
her arm broken Her name could not
be ascertaincd
The track this morning presents
Il mass of wrcckage seldom seen in
this part of the country, and all day

morning from Lakeland and tn"
work Of clearing away the debris
has been going on all day. but il
will probably be late this evening
before traffic can be resumed. In
the meantime trains are being OPP
Grated around via Trilby to Lake
land and Tampa.
The passengers on the illfatci
train were brought to kissimmec
and they remained here until an
early hour this morning, when 4

sent up and carried them to their
destination. leaving here about
three O'Clock.

She was thus advertised by the Balona Cafe the
most charming dancer of modern times. The public
invited. Admission free. When the o'clock

ugly.
Whispered predictions flew round the building that
any minute Scanne would pick Jimmy up, tie him
into knot hold him up drop him. and as he down
kick him through tenth-StOry window across the
street. 1t really criminal for AcGrath to sacrifice
Jimmy in that way; for probably the rat life had some
value for him. About this time of the men were
beginning to construe certain signs indicating con-
fdential arrangement between McCirath and Jimmy;
but SCannc suspected nothing.
For mysterious reason, the work done by the
filters and the rivetcrs did relax, although they
were OF that; they too busy expecting
Scannell to ball Jimmy and kick him the street,
and too Jimmy made them laugh. Mc>1rath had
theory that if YOU get to laugh a their work
they realize how much they dong and never
get tired.
Next day, which was Saturday. a ringing laugh
startled the 1t round and hearty and reck
less that it rang above the cang of sledgehammers

"GOOdi' said SCannell. "Ill get a shovel from a

Jimmy's rat eyes stretched wide the prodgaiy

restaurant, and the orba stretching became alarming
when Scannell asked:
