SIX PERSONS MEET DEATH.
Freight Train on Louisville and
Nashville Runs Into Washout.
(Atlanta Constitution, 7th.) }


Six people were killed at l o'clock
Wednesday morning when south
bound freight train No. As Of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad ran
into : washout h,c miles north of
Marietta.
The dead are: S. K Farris, white,
engineer; Tom Chan der, white,
fireman; Charles She, nell. white,
fireman; r. P. Merrell, White, brake
man; Mike Jackson, egro, section
haAd, and an unknown negro.
Bridge Gives Away.
The engine and fourteen cars of a
Oscar train toppled into a chasm as
feet deep when the bridge extending
over the culvert gave way. The
bridge was about 80 feet in length
and is thought to have given way be-
fore the torrent of water sweeping
down the stream caused by a rain
which had fallen for three hours pre-
vious to the accident. The bridge
was constructed OF cement and it Is
mystery as to how it was washed
away. The cars were piled up in
such way that it will take at least
"a hours to clear away the debris,
according to the officials of the road.
The only body found by the wreck
ing crew which was hurried to the
spot is that Of the negro Jackson,
who was riding on the pilot of the
engine going from MONDAY to his
home. His body had fallen to the
opposite side Of the gap from where
the engine went over the bank.
The crew of the wrecked train was
made up at Etowah, the division
headquarters Of the road, and owing
to the fact that the remainder cs the
crew was In the caboose at the rear
OF the train, they escaped injury.
The train was making about Is
miles an hour when the wreck occur

sLEEPwALKER FELL 3 STORIES.
Takes Long Tumble, But is Not Seri-
ously Injured.
Charleston Post, 6th.)


The noise of somebody falling
clamorously to the ground from the
third story, and followed shortly af-
ter by still heavier object, which
collided audibly with the banisters
OF stairway on it's downward
course, reused the household at No.
139 Calhoun street shortly after mid
night Tuesday.
A hurried investigation disclosed
the fact that Neale Rowe, while pre-
sumably walking in his sleep, had
dropped jar with which he was 60
ing to get some drinking water, from
the window, and, having lost his bal
ance, toppled over after it. striking
the obstruction on the way down and
continuing his fall clear to the
ground. Despite the fact that the
midnight descent was three stories,
Mr.. Rowe was reported from the
Roper Hospital to-day as not being
in danger, having sustained injuries
only to his head and foot. 1t is
thought he will soon be entirely we'll
1t is stated that Rowe, w..s is en-
gagged in the plumbing business, had
been subject to walking occasionally
in his sleep, and the conjecture is
that at the time he was thinking sub
consciously Of getting some drinking
water and proceeded to the window,
thinking 1t door, and fell through
the opening, just after dropping the
jar. From the sounds incident to
the occurrence and the fact that the
banisters which he struck and tore
were to one side of the window, it is
thought that Rowe clung to the sill
in some way to prevent the fall, and
thus did not fall directly down.
Passersby notified the already
alarmed household that some one
was lying seriously injured in the
yard, some holding that he was in a
dying condition, but when Rowe was
brought in fears were allayed to some
extent, though it was not thought
possible that he could be otherwise
than very seriously hurt, considering
all the circumstances. 1t was learn
ed, however, that Notwithstanding
that his fall was from the third story
of the building, Rowe had sustained
no broken bones. A cut upon the
head and an injury of one foot were
said to be the extent of the effects of
his three-story descent.

Brady's Estate as Large as Morgan's?

New York, Aug. 8.-Although pro-

coming out Of cut about 70 yards

about 100 yards ahead of me. He
had plenty Of time to get by the

speed equal to mine and was only
80 yards from the track. But for
some reason he slowed up, his en-
gine stopped and the car came to
dead standstill immediately across
the track when / was ten yards away.
II threw on my air brakes, which
were working we'll, but they did not
stop the engine before it struck the

The JeweIed Heel.

The evolution in feminine apparel
seems to be steadily approaching bar
barrie standards long since forsaken.
What the end will be is hard to say, but
lust at present the indications are that
the Egyptian hieroglyphics are the pop

bells on her toes" But even this eccen-
trio lady had some excuse to offer,
namely, that "she should have music
wherever she goes
The woman with the glitering heels is
doubtless a degenerate descendant OF
Mother Goose, who has nothing to offer
as justification for this senseess and in
artistic form of extravaganza. Her pres
ence in the ballroom must certainly re-
call one of Du Maurier's famous draw
ings in Punch, which admirably sets
forth the present situation.
This illustration pictures one pretty girl
murmuring to a fair companion: my
dear, what beautiful shiny shoes your
partner has"
To which the other answers: Eyes, out
he shines at the wrong end"
The recent developments in dress seem
substantially to verify the statement of
that able critic, Mr.. Z. p. Whipple, who
asserted; I'VE all originally came from
the woods: it is hard TO eradicate from
any of us the old taste for the tattoo and
the war paint; and the moment money
gets into our pockets, it somehow or
other breaks out in ornaments on our

Women as ushers.

The employment of young women as

were first employed in this city by Oscar

control, that they greatly increased the
comfort of ticket holders and helped TO

COBRA ON HIS BREAST.
Military Prisoner in India Has Ter
rifying Four Hours Experience.

In the military cantonments of In
dia the punishment cells, which are
about Ii feet high by Il feet square,
stand separately. There are no win
dows, but one side is a grille, the
iron bars being about five inches
apart.
On one occasion when a private
was confined in one of them large
cobra, one of the most deadly rep
tiles in India, crawled between the
bars and wriggled on to the bed 10
get warmth. 1t curled upon the
prisoners chest, and he was just
about to turn over when, feeling the
unusual weight, he saw the snakes
glittering eyes staring into his face.
He dared not move, so he had to lie
in that position for four hours.
At 8 o'clock. when the sergeant
went his rounds. he saw the position
the prisoner was in and went for a
long stick. With another soldier he
entered the cell and they drove the
snake into a corner, where they killed
it. The colonel released the pris-
oner as he thought he had suffered
enough punishment in the terrible eN-
perience he had gone through. The
mans hair had turned white with the
mental strain which he had endured.
