Passenger Train. N'os. -t'J and Al .Meet
Without Loss of Life hut 'I'm Ins
Arc Considerably Smashed.
A collision that might have been far
more disastrous occurred at Asliby, n sta
tion eight miles west of Hyannis, about 5
o'clock last Saturday morning when tho
passenger trains, No. 43. westbound, and
No. 42, castbound, crashed into cschother.
The cause of the trouble is said to be the
misunderstanding or misreadiug of the or
der given providing for the meeting of the
trains. No. 43 was in charge of Conductor
Andrews, engineer and fireman being
Messrs. Morrison and Johnson, No. 42
was in charge of Conductor Wright, with
Engineer Phillips and Fireman Tillctt. At
the meeting place the road curves, so that
trains approaching cachother can not sec
far enough ahead to stop in time to avert a
catastrophe. All the enginemen in this
case, thinking nothing could be done to
prevent the collision, jumpcd.exc'ept Engi
neer Morrison who stayed with his engine,
reversed her and succeeded in getting his
train in motion backward, but even then
the engines struck with such force that
they were thrown upward at an - angle of
about forty-five degrees. It is said that
but for his action far greater damages to
trains, crews and passengers would have
resulted. The tenders, baggage and mail
cars were pretty badly damaged. Mr.
Phillips was the only one o the trainmen
that received an injury worth mentioning,
he having some severe bruises on his head.
None of the passengers were injured in
the least, but two tramps who were riding
in the door of one of the baggage cars
were hurt, one of them getting his leg so
I badly crushed that it had to bo amputated,
while the other had a foot crushed consid
erably and his toes cut off. The trains
were delayed five or six hours in conse
quence of the wreck.
Notice to Alllnuci! CltUeus.
To the citizens of Alliance:
It has been stated by some of our citizens
that I am in favor of a wide open policy.
I wish to state thai it is false, I do not
favor a wide open policy and if elected j
mayor, for which office I have been nomi
natcd, will do everything to the best of
my ability for the interests of the city "of 1
Alliance, Yours truly,

1'roin the l.nuJ or the IMinrnoli's.
We received a loiter from Dr. Horn
dated from Cairo, Egypt, Fob. 1 j, in which
he writos: "I send by this mail my Bo
nn ros, Lucknow, Delhi, Bombay anil Port I
Said articles, five in all, which puts me
five weoks ahond, I shall write again
from Egypt and than enter Palestine.
Quarantine may interfere with my itiner
ary as planned. The extra ellort and ex
pense I put forth to do India will be ap
preciated, I am sure, as my India articles
cannot be other than interesting.
From Port Said I go to Cairo where I
oxpect to receive the first mail in two
months, or since I left Hong Kong. You
may not hear from me again till I leave
Syria as the mail posted in Syria is opened
by the Turkish government, I am informed,
and if I should make a drive at the Turks,
I might bo detained to serve a term bo
hind the bars at Constantinople."
The manuscript received yesterday com
prises seventy-two pages of matter closely
written on largo sheets of paper. We al
ready had on hand four long letters from
him unpublished, so that by publishing
each week as much as we have averaged
weclky in the past, wo have manuscript
now on hand to last about six months

tary is expected here soon to assist the or
ganization. A movement is on foot among the clerks
of the city to have the stores close at 7
o'clock. This is as it should be and we
hope they will be, able to accomplish what
they desire It will give proprietors and
clerks nlike shorter houis and they will do
just as much business. 'It is not right for
business mon and clerks to be compolled to
jjut in a. thirteen or fourteen hour day
when other workmen put in but eight or
ten.
Gratuitous advice is seldom taken.
Still wc arc pleased to remark that the
Times has paid head to our gentle admo
nitions of last week and says it is not go
ing 'to be naughty any more. Vory well,
we'll see. It promised that once before.
No backsliding this time. For the sake of
our readers and public decency we should
riUliku to refer to the Times ugftin hut if it
becomes necessary wc will handle it "with-
out gloves "
