ENGINEER'S RUTHLESS DISREGARD.
Passengers Burning With Righteous Indig

New Oeleaxs, October 15. Engineer
Simpson, of the East Louisville rail
road, is responsible for a frightful ac

crossing of the Louisville and Xashvillt
and the Northeastern road about two
miles from where the 1... & X. railroad

How Carelessness Cansed the Crash.
As the train approached the crossing
of the Northeastern tracks, Engineer
Ilanley brought his train to.a stop and
whistled as the law requires. He then
gave the signal to go ahead, and pro
ceeded across the tracks of the North
eastern, i
The East Louisiana train' carrying
excursionists to points in St. Tammany
Parish was booming alwng' its tracks
and with a shrill shriek from its whis
tle for-'"down brakes" crashed into the
sixth coach of the L. it N. train.
The collision threw a crowded coach
completely into the ditch, whiltj tho
attacking engine was derailed and
buried its. nose several feet into the
soft mud. Passengers' ' on the East
Louisiana train were uninjured, except
for the shock of the collision. Not so
with the coast excursion, however.
Just before the iron monster struck the
coach several of the passengers saw it
coining and a panic ensued. There was
B wild rush to escape from the doomed
coach, but before one of the passengers
could reach either platform the ap
proaching engine had struck, and
the coach with its living freight was
buried in the. ditch.
Women Shriek in Their Terror.
Women and children shrieked in
their terror while men fought their
way blindly for some . escape from the
coach. Seats were torn up nd hurled
in every direction by the force of the
collision, and after the first wild panic
had subsided there Avere heart! pitvous
moans from different quarters of the
wreck, telling of painful injuries.
Willing hands went to work, and
within a short tirha the wounded ones
had ben taken out of the coach and
made as comfortable as possible.
The greatest indignation and anger
prevailed among the witnesses of the
collision against engineer Simpson,
who had so ruthlessly disregarded the
law requiring a stop and had caused
the frightful wreck.
Inquiry developed the fact that Simp
son had escaped to the swamp.

decided to conduct the school under its

with delicate hands and the air of
knowing what comfort is, who come
from one or another Methodist theolog

their ease, outward grace, and air of

plainness of the old-time Methodist

FISH THAT SHOOT.
How the
Scaty Marksmen
Bring Down
Their Prey.
Oh, yes. there are fish that fly in the
air, and fish that dig in the mud, and
fish that travel for miles over the dry
ground, und fish that climb trees. We
tad all of them within a few miles of
our home in India, in one direction or
another; but more curious than any of
these were fish that we used often to
see in a large pool not far from the
house, out shooting their breakfast or
supper.
. tropiCS-
All that one had to do was to hide in
a quiet place on the bank early in the
morning orjust before sunset, and they
were sure to come. They follow the
shore, where leaves and branches over
hang the water, for in hot countries
the flies and other insects are often
found resting on the lower side of the
leaves, where it is cooler and where
they make a fine target for the shooting-fish.
The fish swims along the surface till
he discovers a fly not more than five or j
six feet away over the water. Then he
draws, back a little, makes his mouth
into a curious tube, like a little blow
gun, and darts out a drop of water so
swiftly and so straight that he hits his
mark nine times out of ten. He lies j
perfectly still with his eyes fixed on j
the fly." The drop of water hits him, j
knocks him from the leaf, and spatters
over his wings so that for a moment he
can not use them, and he falls toward '.
the water. If it is some distance the
fish knows that he may recover and es- ,
cape before he reaches the pool, so he
makes a jump and catches the fly in j
the air; but if he thinks it safe to wait J
he will lie still till the fly strikes the J
water. If he should happen to miss in
his first shot he will swim about to an-
other position and try it again,
To see what would happen I once
fastened a live fly to the bottom of a
leaf about four feet above the water.
Very soon a finny hunter came along
and tried a shot at him. I never knew
before that a fish had any expression,
but there was surely a look of pro
found astonishment about that fish
when the fly failed to fall. He was so
sure he had hit him that he did not go
to a new position, but fired again frefm
the same spot. Then he swam a few
feet away and came back and tried
again. Then he grew excited and sent
drop after drop in a perfect volley.
Then, iui utter disgust, he gave the
water a good slash with his tail and
swam away.
When I looked at the fly the poor
little fellow was completely covered
with water and actually drowned.

The First Marines.
The marines were first established In
1664, when a corps was formed to sup
ply trained sailors for the fleet. The
merchant navy at that time was not
large enough to supply the king's
ships, and the impressed men were in
general unruly. A certain number of
marines were therefore placed in each
ship to keep the crew in order. Thus
a't first marines were trained sailors,
and not soldiers, although at that time,
and both before and afteiv the fighting
in men-of-war was done by soldiers.
No special regiment was set apart for
this duty, but sometimes one and some
times another was employed. The dplce
of York (afterward James II.) was in
command of a regiment which was for
some time employed in this way.

Life
Durham, N. C, Jtar. 27, 1894.
Mr. W. j. Boddey, Rock Hill, S. C.
Dear Sir; When the settlement of my pol
icy for 150,000 in the Equitable was first made,
I expressed some dissatisfaction at the out
come, but since I have bad more time to look
into the matter, I am persuaded that I have
bad cheap insurance. I have always regarded
the Equitable as one of the strongest insurance
companies In this country, and am carrying at
present a policy for f 25 ,000 on my wife and one
far $50,000 on my own life, and bave bad these
.policies in force for more than 10 years. ,
- - Yours, very truly,
J. 8. CARK.

FZAP.LD THE CAMERA.
Naval Students Who Wore Disciplined by
the fSnap-BTiot Process. j
The "tnap-fchot" camera has been
jeered at and sneered at in many
places and at many times, and the
"camera fiend" has Won excoriated for
his crimes, but the camera sometimes
performs the functions of a dis
ciplinarian with success. A naval
officer once found it more efiieacioua
than any article of war and more per
suasive than court martials. It was
while he had under his tender care An
napolis cadets.
There was one thing1 that this officer'
could not teach the youngest men in
the naval academy, says the Kew
York Tribune, and . this was not to
squirm and start and jump and plug
their ears with their fingers when the
heavy cannon were fired. It was of no
use to argue with them; when the guns
began to roar they forgot the argu
ments. Pleadings were in vain and re
proofs were useless. It was highly
ridiculous and anything but martial
to have a lot of young men whose pro
fession it is to make war when war is
needed act like schoolgirls when the
sea artillery was in noisy operation.
Finally the officer hit upon a plan,
lie had a camera "trained" upon his
gallant cadets without their knowing
it, and then he ordered broadside after,
broadside to be fired. The noise was
thunderous, and the actions of the
cadets were as usual most undigniued
and most unwarlikc. A few days later
some excellent photographs of the
"young - men - afraid-of-a-noise" were
hung in prominent positions to be a
perpetual reproach to those who
plugged their cars. Those photographs
did their work well. The "next time
the cannon roared the cadets stood
like statues carved from stone, petri
fied with their fear of the "deadly
camera and its brutal tranimess. ;
