Awakened Friday morniDg, Mrs. Hilary Sanders, of Wllliamaburg, waaitftled to find a large gray ct lying alongside her baby boy, :;nlne weeks old, la bed with her. ' 6m arose, quickly grabbed a broom and attacked the cat, which sprang from tha bed and made its way to the street through an open' win. dow. - Returning to her baby, Mrs. Sao ( tiers found him cold and motion less. She ran to the telephone ' and called up St. Catherine's Hos pital. Ten minutes later an ambu ; lance surgeon arrived and told her v t(e- child was dead evidently bar- V g been suffocated. The mother became hsyteVical and ran scream ing through the house. Mrs. Sanders was unable to ex plain how the cat got into the , - house, unless it came through the . open window. She said she had never seen it before. Dr. Driscell said the feline undonbtedly suffo eatedthe child. A Great Coal Train. Charlotte Chronicle. - People living along the line of . the old Carolina Central have seen some monster traius of coal cars passing by since the Carolina, Clinch field & Ohio has been in op eration. But these trains are only parts of the big trains that come s " out of the coal fields. The John- ' . son City Staff tells us of orie these. ; It says that a coal train which was a reckord-breaker for length, pass 4 ed through its city last tbursday jjbn the way t'romvthe Virgininacoal , ' fields Tor North Carolina points v where it was broken up. This train - contained eighty-eight cars of coal most ot them extra lone ana a conductor's cab, and was hauled by four heavy engines, one of V j which was number' 500, which is double-strength, making the haul ing power equal to rive large en i eines required to hall the train of t:y coal. The Clinchlield road knows ' how to do business. We doubt if a longer coal train than this has has been pulled over any road in ' : the United, States. - Lightning makes trees explode ! on the same principal as a steam " boiler and for the same cause. The flame of the lightning does not burn them up nor does the electric ' flash split them like an ax. The el ectric fluid flows through into all the damp cells of the trunk and S all the moisture at once is turned I into steam, which by its immediate t expansion rips opeu the tree. For oeuturies this simple theory puz ' ' zled scientists, but they have got ten it right at last. Lincoln Times Bold Negro Attempts Jesse James Stnt on Train. New Orleans, La., Oct. 18.
