Hattiesburg, Miss, May g.
Nine persons, including three
women and two children. were
killed and fifty-fve persons in
jured when the first section of
the Van Zandt Confederate
Veterans Special of eleven
cars enroute from Texas to the
annual reunion at Macon, Ca.
was wrecked this morning on a
trestle a mile south of East
Abuchie. Miss. on the New
Orleans & Northwestern rail-
road.
| The locomotive, baggage car,
one day coach, and three tourist
sleepers were derailed and tumb-
led down a high embankment,
making a conglomerate mass of
wood and iron debris. Although
several hundred confederate
veterans were aboard the train,
not one was numbered among
the dead. Several of the vet
Grams were injured, though none
fatally. The dead were brought
to Hattiesburg.

SCENE is DISTRESSING
The scene Immediately after
the crash was made particularly
distressing by the cries of the
injured. Those among the aged
veterans who were not injured
went to work will
ingly assisting in extricating less
fortunate comrades, carrying
them to improvised hospitals in
a Few coaches not overturned.
Many .of the injured veterans
did what they could toward re-
lieving the more seriously hurt.
When the engine and tender
left the track at the short trestle
they were followed by the bag
gage car. day coach and three
tourist sleepers. These cars
were badly splintered and it IS
regarded as almost miraculous
that any of the occupants es-
capped.
Hattiesburg citizens from
avery walk of life met the train
which brought the dead and in
lured here. The Kings Daugh-

ANGRY FISH BITES ANGLER
Brooklyn Man, tho Sufferer, Sends
Head to Pasteur Institute, Fear
Ing Rabies.

Whether a fish can have hydro
phobia is a question hat Fred Henry
of Hancock street, Brooklyn, would
like to have settled, and for that rea-
son he has sent to the Pasteur insti-
tute in New York the head of a pick
erel that bit him at Swartswood lake
recently, says a Newton IN. J.) cor.
respondent Of the New York Press
Henry was fishing In a boat that was
a trife leaky and he took off his shoes
and socks. His first catch was a
pickerel weighing three pounds,
When he yanked the fish it Topped
around in the bottom Of the boat In
a lively fashion.
AS Henry was batting up again he
felt a sharp pain in M Of his feet.
and, looking down, saw that the pick
erel had made q jump and fastened
it's teeth in his toe. He tried to kick
the fish away, but the pickerel held
ond and Henry had to use the handle
Of his landing net to pry open the
f1sh's jaws before he got free of 1t.
The toe started to swell where the
teeth had punctured it, and Henry be.
came worried. He says he thinks 1t
possible that the pickerel may have
had h~ydrophobia and, as a precaution.
airy measure, he sent the head to the
Pasteur institute.

German Farmer Good Business Man.
Under a seemingly generous offer
of hospitality. a North German farm
er has managed to include a good
stroke of business for himself. In q
Hanover paper recently appeared an
an advertisement that from fifteen to
twenty women and girls (not under
twelve years Of age) who needed re-
cuperation could have free board and
lodging on a country estate. But in
exchange they would be required to
pick pease from eight to ten hours
daily. Industrious pickers might also
be paid cash for their labor.
