Broken Rail Cause of Wreck Eight Babies Aboard the Train Escape Without a Scratch Hard Snow Breaks the Fall BISMARK, X. D, Dec. 10. -The wreck of the west-bound North Coast Limited at Mackensie, 20 miles east of here, last night, may be considered one of the most fortun ate in the annals of railroading, ac- cording to railroad men. The fact1 that almost an entire train, going at the rate of 50 miles an hour, contain ing more than 200 passengers, could tarn over and go down a 10-foot embankment without killing any body is marvelous. , The train struck a broken rail. The engine got over safely, but the tender went off the track, followed by the baggagecar and mailcar.. Their eooplings broke and the three day coaches, two sleepers and the obser vation car went down the embank tent into a deep snowdrift . and turned over without breaking s coup-' Eng. The hard-packed snow saved" the train from destruction. j Eight babies on the train were ot even scratched. The most ser iously injured are: . Engineer Aaron Remley, Colgate, JT, D., ribs broken. Jured internally. Mrs. . H. W. Cutlyfore, Seattle, 1 leg injured. . j Rev. ,Mr. Loviolette, . Aberdeen, , hack injured by being pinned by a i closed berth. Besides these, many were cut by ; broken glass and bruised. I . A Seattle preacher -was thrown out ' of his berth in his nightshirt into 1 Effect of Fear est Wounds. The fear of poison m a lacerated wound under certain circumstances la In Itself quite sufficient to give a wounded man - tetanus, or lockjaw, than which no more horrible complica tion exists. Thus (or a long time It was thought that the natives of the Solomon and other neighboring Islands used poisoned arrows, and many white men shot by Ibeia died In tetanic con vulsions. Including one very horrible case of a commander in the navy who bad made a special study of tetanus. At length the French governor of New Caledonia, noticing that the symp toms exhibited were not consistent with the use of any known poison, ap pointed s medical commission to in quire Into the affair, when It was dis covered that the arrows of the natives were not polsoued at all, although con structed in such a way that a small piece of the bone point aimost always remained In the wound. The Irritation produced by this prevented the wonnd from beallug quickly, and the mental disturbance produced by fear and per haps change of climate did the rest It was discovered st the same time that the natives of other Islands srho firmly believed la the poison theory seldom suffered much Inconvenience from the arrow wounds, because they believed that the spells given tbem by their own sorcerers prevented the poi son from taking effect-Pall Mall Oa sette.

It was In Sunday school In the Infant department The teacher had just told the children something about the Holy land and had sald:"Xow, children. let's Just play we're taking's trip over that very place. We step Into this little ooat tied here at the shore, and away we go. Now we are landing at the very place where" She was interrupted by the sobbing and gasping of a small boy In the sec ond row, whose Bister sought earnestly to quiet and comfort him.
