FISH VICTIMS OF RAIL WRECK
Peculiar Accident on English Line
Caused Death Of Hundreds Of
the Flnny Tribe.

To associate the killing of hundreds
OF trout with a railway accident seems
strange. but such was the case at Oke-
hampton. England. some weeks since.
1t happened in this wise:
Two tanks OF ''vitriol' were stand
ing at the extreme end of siding
against the stop blocks. overlooking
the public roadway. when. by some
oversight on the part of the switch
man, q locomotive and trucks smashed
into them. knocking down the block"
and sending the tanks crashing into
the roadway.
The cover OF one OF the tanks few
OF. and scores OF gallons OF the wit
riol' rushed down the hill. running
into the gratings. and finally into the
town river.
Then the execution began. large
trout, little fellows. cells. stickles-in
fact. every living thing for miles met
a violent death.
II was noticed that some of the cells
In their death throes wriggled far up
the river bank. and In some large
ponds the dead could be counted In
hundreds.

COACHES PASSED OVER GAP
Incident Of the Line That Seems In

Explanation Possible.

trains, when suddenly they were all
brought to their feet by jar as If
some giant had struck the wall with

They tumbled out in excitement
and ran around to the side OF the
building just as the last Of the At
lantic City Flyer whirled past. Glanc-
ing up at the wall. they could see a
deep gouge and scratch. and on the
ground a twelve-inch length of rail-
How 1t got there was subject OF
immediate discussion. but there was
no solution unless some person of un-
usual strength had hurled it from the
swiftly passing train. Then some
one noticed 1t was smooth and glis-
tened on the surface. as II 1t had been
freshly run over. This led the dis
cussion to the track. which was fifty
feet away, and there 1t was immedi-
ately discovered that the end OF a rail
had been torn away. The broken end
fitted in exactly.
Later It was decided that the en-
gine. in passing. had flung 1t against
the side OF the hotel. and that the
rest OF the train had passed over the
gap 1t seems impossible. but there
is no other explanation.

BOAT
 AMY ARRIVES

Captain Waldo States is proudly strutting around the ferry float today having just completed the nine hun- dred-mile journey from Seattle to Ju- neau with the Amy" the new Cas- tineau channel ferry boat.
 The boat is certainly beauty in ap. pearance and Captain States says she is beauty to handle. Coming through pixon's entrance a storm was encoun- tered but the Amy tripped playfully through without being in the least disturbed. The craft is built not only for speed but for seaworthiness and shows it through every line and tim Der. The sunken cabin is comfortably upholstered in leather Toilets and other adjuncts add materially to the equipment of the new boat over the old vessels. Two life boats and a life raft are carried on the cagin deck and life preservers are plentiful. She has a cruising radius of 1,2OO miles and carries 1900 gallons of oil. Nine knots can be made without crowding the engines,
 The Amy made the run from Se- attle in less than five days, includ- ing layovers. This demonstrates her ability to go some. The seating ca pacity of the craft is 95, but many more more can be carried without risk. It is expected to put the new boat on the ferry run just as soon as the electric light system has been in- stalled.
