Fast Passenger and Freight. Come Together With Result.

Tragic

A MISPLACED SWITCH

Causes the Death of Six and the Serious Injury of Twenty-Five Persons In Massachusetts.

Engineer Thong-lit He Had Plenty of Time to Get in the Clear But Miscalculated.

Brockton, Mass., Sept. 19.—A switch not properly set brought a passenger express and a heavy freight train together with the resultant deaths of six passengers on the express train and injuries to 25 others yesterday afternoon on the line of the New York, New llaven and Hartford railroad at Avon. The express left Boston at 1:08 p. m., and it was running 40 miles an hour at the time of the accident.. Of the six persons who were killed but four have been identified. The two unidentified bodies are those of women, one elderly and very large in figure. The other unidentified victim was apparently L'8 years of age, light hair, evidently a Swede. The bodies were taken immediately to a freight house near by. Of the 2f injured those most seriously hurt were taken to the Brockton hospilal on a special train.

The accident occurred about 1,000 feet above the Avon station, between two stretches of thicket and by the side of a steep embankment. A freight train of MO cars laden with granite, coal and gravel had just been made upon a siding and was proceeding south in the same direction as the express. lOngiueer Sheldon of the freight train figured he had five minutes to spare to get. on a sidetrack further down. iie of his train crew had set the switch of a "cross over" in such a manner that when .the freight engine struck it it was turned onto the main track. Engineer Sheldon did not. notice this switch quickly enough lo enable him to stop his train, and before he realized it the express dashed past on the other track.

The engine of the express and the baggage car succeeded in getting by before the freight engineer reached the train, but the second car of the train, the smoker, was struck squarely in the middle and urned over, being thrown down the steep embankment, lauding on its side in some soft mud. The third enr of the train, a pilssepger coiH'li. was draggtd over by flic force of flie compact and likewise hlnded on its side in the ditch. The last car in the train stayed on the track.

All those who were killed outright seemed to be ill the third car, while most of those who were injured were in the car-which was struck by the engine.

Australian Sympathy.

Melbourne. Sept. 19.—The federal parliament and the various state legislatures have adjourned out of respect for the late President McKinley.

Ivory from the Congo.

Only a small proportion of the ivory annually exported from the Congo is taken directly from newly killed animals. Thus, during 1899, of the 29,985 tusks sold on the Antwerp market, 8.539 alone came from freshly killed animals, the remaining 21,446 tusks being what the natives term ''dead ivory." For centuries the aborigines have, been collecting elephant tusks, which they considered as having little intrinsic value, but useful as articles of exchange. The Khartoum merchants were the first to discover these hidden reserves of ivory. Later on the Zanzibar traders rushed on to Katanga,' and thence to the very heart of the Congo, with the result that the ivory trade soon became the principal industry of the country.

One Way of Measuring Distance. Virginia friend tells this one: "Seeing your article about queer calculations of distances in China. Well, you need not go to China to find queer descriptions how far it is from one place to another. On a visit to Rotterdam, Holland, I asked a workingman on the wharf, with my eyes on the distant chimneys of the large, distilleries of Schiedam (the manufacturing place of the world-lmown Holland gin), 'How far is It from here to Schiedam?' 'About two pipes of tobacco, came the prompt but, for me, mysteri ous answer. I found afterward that it meant as long as it took to smoke two of the small clay pipes filled with the villainous, strong Sumatra tobacco the worklngmen in Holland generally smoke—about fifteen minutes to the pipe, or a half hour's walk from Rotterdam to Schiedam."—Baltimore Sun.
