The east-bound car, running as train No. 59, was running at a speed of 50 miles an hour to make up lost timet, and when the crash occurred the eastbound car was telescoped and almost entirely wrecked. In this train were all of the killed and most of the injured, the passengers on train No. 58. west-bound, es caping with but slight bruises and scratches. . The two cars were welded together into a mass of wreckage, in which lay the ten dead' and dying and the two score of injured.- The cries and appeals for help which came from the debris was horrible, and caused a scene of utter confusion. Farmhouse a Hospital. The home of E. R. Borg, near by, was turned into a temporary hospital and morgue by parties rescuing the dead and injured from the cars.

Horrors Incidental to Old Time Execution by Drowning. Execution by drowning was abolished in France by Henri Quatre, only to be revived by one of his successors. It was finally abolished as a statutory method of execution by the earliest decree of the great revolutionaries. As late as the eighteenth century death by drowning was decreed to a felon in Edinburgh, and In the middle pges It was a common enough mode of doing a convicted criminal to death. That execution of this nature was considered ss humane as sny other, so far as the victim was concerned, Is shown by the fact that It was not unknown among the early Jews, who varied the punishment of stoning adulteresses by drowning them. Among the Egyptians It was common. The Roman lex Cornelia sanctioned the method by placing It on the statute records. Tacitus tells ns that the Germans copied the practice from the Romans. The Teuton termed it the "last baptism," and he did not allow his powers of Imagina tion to sleep when he set about derising additional varieties which shonld add to the excitement attending upon the doomed person's departure from life. The convict was sewed up, Monte Crtoto fashion. In a bag, and with him were Inclosed a vicious dog, a hungry cat, a violent rooster, a ven omous viper, all very much alive and presumably kicking. For what reason It hi hard to see, but death by drowning was by many peoples constderea proffer Me for criminal women. In tb ceee of ery debased or very mean - offenders the Romans had a mors or less pleasant ftxlica of drownlxx the doomed one ia manhea, first Incasing them in elaborate crates. For refined cruelty In UUlng off thelt female criminals the earlier Albanians were certainly the moat tnveattve to the matter of Ingenuity. It Is commonly known, of course, that even the modern Albanian hat less respect for womankind than any other known male in the buna catalogue, not even excluding the Chinese. The approved method of doing a criminal or even a displeasing woman to death prevalent among them up to rather less than a century ago was to chain her tn a tank Into which the water was allowed to flow gradually. As the water reached her breast It was allowed to recede. (ettssea back to her ankles, when the refilling of the tank began anew. If the woman had children the torture was varied by the drowning or mutila tion of them before her eyes. To various' parts of her body wast attached eh . food as atliacU rata, of which iramber would be let loose. Mew Terk World. Giving Himself Away.
