" A a mutter of fact, Cuticura

"Time and competition are the

Cincinnati Pouthern passenger, from Chat

at 11:45 last night, gs wrecked about three
and a half mile, west of Lenoir City. Term.,
this morning about i o'clock.
The disaster was caused by spreading
rail. Three deaths are reported so far and
twenty-four are Injured.
The dead:

The accident occurred on a steep embank
bankment over which the train wa. precipi
tated. The locomotive went within thirty
feet of the river. Four of the coaches were
telescoped and partially piled upon the en
gine. The coache. were burned outright.
The Cincinnati Southern train from Chat
tanooga was following the Ill-fated train,
having come via Knoxvllle on account of
damage to track, between Chattanooga and
Harrlman last night. This train was await
ing orders at Louden when It was advised
ot the wreck. The engine wa at once
run up to the scene of the disaster,
and by pulling two of the 'rear sleepers
back on the track and away from the
wreckage succeeded In saving them from
the fire.
A wrecking train, with physicians and
railroad officials, left this city immediately.

by two landslides. In the first It Is thought

the tics and down the embankment. Sev
eral coaches followed. The scene of the
wreck is between Loudon and Lenon City
Tenn., where the railroad parallels th.

The construction of the road at this point
was a sensational engineering feat, and it is
the most unfavorable place for a wreck,

Just before the engineer died a com
rade tried to have blm drink a little whisky
In the hope of extending his life. The en
gineer refused, saying:
"I have never touched it, and don't ex
pect to begin to drink it now. I am going
to die. so go look after the women and
children in the coaches." He expired a few
minutes later.
The Chicago and Florida limited of the
Cincinnati Southern road, one of the finest
trains in the country, running from Jack
sonville to Chicago, was but a short
time ahead of the wrecked train. The Chi
cago flyer, which left Chattanooga ahead
of Bibb's train, was compelled to run to
Harrlman by way of Knoxvllle, Instead ot
over its own line for the reason stated
above.
Had this train been wrecked the loss ot
life would have been much greater, as it
always carries long list of passengers
and runa on fast time.

FOR USE IN CASE OF WRECK
Mr. Balllnatoa Booth Waat. Train
Kqalpped wrlth Sargtfral
Appnrtenaarea,
Mrs. Ballington Booth of the Volunteer.
of America, being an extensive traveler
and sensitive to the danger of the wounded
and suffering of those who are maimed in
the numerous railroad accidents, has ad
dressed the following letter to the presi
dents of all the large railroads:
NEW YORK. Feb. 28. Dear Sir: In view
of Hie serious accident, which have been
agitating the public and the painful details
which have aroueed so much humane sym
pathy, 1 trut the suggestion contained in
this letter will rerelvo some consideration,
and. If found practical, may be adopted by
your road. I am a very extensive traveler,
spending many dHys and nights of every
month upon the road, and therefore, any
quewtlyn which uffects the life or comfort
of pasKengers or of the brave men "ahead"
conies veiy closely home to me.
1 have noticed 'n reading ot some ot the
recent railroad wrecks, as also many In the
past, that survivors have hitd to witness
the agony of fatally Injured victims, who,
pinioned inextricably beneath the wreckage,
have pUadt'd fur the relief of death while
uncontrollable Humes have scorched or con
sumed them. Kppeclaily hnrrowlng Is the
thought of the brave engineer, held beneath
the iron wreckage of his locomotive scalded
by steam, and yet awfully alive to every
torture of slow coming death. If a dumb
animal waa seen in similar circumstances
we would Instantly end its misery with a
swift blow or merciful shot. This i not
permissible when the sufferer is a human
being whose highly organized nervous sys
tem Is capable of still greater suffering.
As I have glanced at the little glass case
holding the saw and hatchet for use In
emergency I have asked myself why the
railroad companies have so far overlooked
another precaution which might save life
and lessen suffering.
Why not equip every truln, or better
.till the conductor of eacn train, with a
small case containing chloroform, ether,
stimulants, bandages, lotions for bruises
and antiseptic solutions for the washing
of wounds. TheBe could be packed in a
very small case and would represent no
very costly outlay. Accidents often occur
far from towns and many precious mo
ments, if not hour., when lives could be
saved, are of necessity lost for the wat.t of
these necessary materials. Would It not
be an unspeakable comfort to bystanders,
as well aa the sufferer, If those dying in.
agony could be rendered unconscious by a
few breaths of a merciful anaesthetic, to
say nothing of the prompt aid which could
be rendered to those who might ' yet be
saved.
Thla is iiot the Idle suggestion of a mo
ment, but comes from one who has watched
suffering and to whom the rhythm ot the
wheels is the most familiar ot sounds. Be
lieve me, very cordially yours,
MAUD B. BOOTH.

Four hundred Omaha Danes decked them

that wore of bewildering color and the
music from a dozen pieces furnished the
temptation that kept the crowd on the
polished floor till a late hou. Unmasking
was not till 11:30, and till then the sight
during the dances was artistic indeed, as
no one not enmasque was allowed upon
the floor till that hour.

The Threat of Grip.
(From the New York HeraW.)
"The increased mortality of the last
three week, from lung affection, following
attack, of grip, emphasizes more than ever
the necessity for nursing an initiatory
cold.
"The Herald, always anxlou. concerning
the publie health, ha. repeatedly called at
tention to the dangers of undue exposure
during inclement weather and now reiter
ate, th. injunction with .till more earn
estness In Tlew of pre.ent conditions.
"Most of the fatal cases of pneumonia at
this time ot the year are due to the lack of
timely treatment of what appears to be a
simple attack of bronchial catarrh. The
taking of the stitch in time is at the bot
tom ot all questions of prevention, m other
more serious ones lylnfc .a trait for solu
tion. "It Is well to taka Into account in such
connection that, February and March are
generally considered the most fatal months
for pneumonia, especially when Influenza is
prevailing even in mild epidemic form.
"Thuw far wc have escaped a visitation
of virulent form of tha latter malady,
but there is abundance ot time and op
portunity for the development of severe
epidemic, with the usual aftermath ot
alarming mortality.
"The effective treatment of an ordlanry
cold Is a matter of a day or two against a
possible subsequent sickness for weeks.
"The indications of a sever, attack of
influenza are headache, chilliness, general
muscular pains, fever, sore throat, cough
and systemic lassitude. When these show
themselves no time Is to be lost and the
patient should give up work at once and
promptly place himself under proper medi
cal care."
There I. no danger whatever of any se
rious consequences from an attack of the
grip when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
used, ah lt counteracts any tendency to
ward pneumonia. This fact has been
abundantly proven In many thousands of
cases during the epidemic, ot the past few
rears.
