FISH VICTIMS OF RAIL WRECK
Caused Death of Hundreds of
the Finny 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, 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 flew
off, 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
violent death.
1t 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.

Railroads In Mikado's Realm.

The first railroad in Japan was
formally opened Al years ago today,
the mikado and prominent officials
taking part in the ceremonies. The
introduction of this method of trans
portation was viewed with supersti-
tious awe by the ignorant populace,
but their fear and wonder soon gave
way to general recognition of the
value of the innovation. During the
following 20 years all Nippon was
girded with steel rails. Japan now has
total of about 5000 miles of rail-
roads built at cost of about $200,000,-
900, or about $4,000 per mile. This
is much less than the average cost of
railroads in America and Europe, and
more than third less than the cost Of
construction of the railroads of the
United States and Canada Within the
last decade there has been great i'm
provement in japanese railways, and
travel in that country has been rem
dered as comfortable, and almost as
luxurious, as in America and Europe

Ballybunion Monorail.
On its single track, raised on tres
tie, and in its curious cars, passengers
and freight are carried from Bally-
bunion and Belmore and back again in
the remarkable time of five minutes.
The monorail on which it's strange. To-
connective and trains run is perhaps two
feet high, while the distance between
the lower rails, which serve to main
tain the equilibrium of the rolling
stock, is little more than a foot.
Most remarkable of it's equipment
is the locomotive, with its queer clip
tical boiler and firebox. 1t has one
cylinder on each side, the rods of
which are inside connected to the
drivers. The interior of a passenger
car Is divided into two longitudinal
compartments, which are entered by
separate doors. The guard stands on
either side, according to the balanc-
log needs of the moment Freight
and stock cars are similarly divided.
To enable pedestrians and wagons
to cross the tracks of the Ballybunion
railroad small life bridges are con-
structed at the various roads and re-

COACHES PASSED OVER GAP
credible, But There Is No Other
Explanation Possible.

On January 20. 1907. the usual
crowd of loafers were taking " easy
in the comfortable Office chairs in the
United States hotel at Railway, N. j.,
undisturbed by the constantly passing
trains, when suddenly they were all
brought to their feet by a jar as IL
some giant had struck the wall with
his fist
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 Glano
ing up at the wall. they could see a
deep gouge and scratch. and on the
ground twelve-inch length of rail.
How it got there was a subject of
immediate discussion, but there was
no solution unless some person of IN
usual strength had hurled it from the
swiftly passing train. Then some
one noticed ii was smooth and glis-
tened on the surface, as If it had been
freshly run over. This led the dis
cussion to the track, which was fifty
feet away, and there it was immedi-
ately discovered that the end of rail
had been torn away. The broken end
fitted in exactly.
Later it was decided that the en-
CINE, in passing, had flung it 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.

TOOK ON DIFFERENT ASPECT
Somehow Antics of Playful Pups on
Second Morning Did Not Appeal

The morning was young and beau

window and looked over into the next
yard interestedly. He chuckled for
sheer delight as he watched the antics
of two little pups his neighbor had
bought few days before.
"Oh, Amy. come here and see these
pups, over In Porters yard" he called
to Mrs. Knox, who was busily ar
ranging the breakfast table. Aren't
they just having a circus? Bless 'em!"
he went on, with all the effusiveness
of genuine dog lover. "Oh, look,
Amy, they have taken the morning pa
per off the porch and each one has
an end of it in his mouth, tussling
with it. Is there anything in the
world more cunning than a little
pup" His enthusiasm was running
away with him. 81 think, dearie, we
will have to get dog one of these
days"

Card Of Thanks.

To the Editor of the Fitzgerald
Leader Enterprise:
The relatives and especially
the Immediate family of Arthur
E. Williams, desire me to express
through the columns of your
paper, their heartfelt gratitude
and appreciation of the goodness
of their many friends during
their recent trials and bereave-
ment. While our sorrow and
grief has been more than we
seem to be able to bear, and we
have needed more than human
assistance to enable us to stand
it, yet the many kindly offices of
our good friends have helped us
much more than we can express
or ever show. Each act and
each word of kindness and
sympathy has touched us and we
have been much comforted by
the tenderness and solicitude
shown not only in the kind acts
and words, but in the tones of
voice and manner of our good
friends. We have needed
t h e comfort of sympa-
thizing human hearts, and we
have received it, and we have
been strengthened by it.
The dear wife, whose heart is
too bleeding and rent with grief to
speak the sentiments of her soul,
has especially asked that I tell of
her appreciation. Her heart has
been much soothed by so much
goodness of so many good friends,
and she will ever look back upon
and cherish the memory of all of
this goodness.
We we're all much touched and
affected by the unusual interest
and faithfulness of the attending
physicians. They all took per-
sonal interest in the life and did
everything to save it, and we
especially appreciate their unusual
efforts and interest.
Sincerely,
Wiley Williams.
