The engine was dragged from the track, and, ploughing through the dirt and mud a distance of 150 feet, rolled completely over.

Near the engine lay Hamilton Brostus, the engineer, crushed and dyinir, and his dreman with several booea broken. But behind the engine waa a scene of panic and confusion.

The mail car, the exuress car and tbe baggage car were rolled over and tbe sides were crushed.

The roof of one car protruded from the rums of the building. Tbe saster, of course, at once created Intense excitement A fire alarm was sounded, which quickly brought the fire department and police to tbe scene. Ambulances were burridly sent for and the con of pbyaiclans came, summoned from every direction. Firemen, policemen, railroad men and citizens went to work with coats off to clear out the debris.

21. The follow Ing Is the weather crop bull etin of the signal office lor the week ending August 20: "Temperature During the week ending August 20 It has been slightly warmer than usual throughout the southern states and the Ohio valley, and cooler, than usual through out the lake region and the upper Mississippi ana the Missouri vallevs, the average daily temperature in the last-named district rang ing from a degrees to 4 degrees below the normal. In New England, the middle Atlan tis states and on the Pacific coast the tempera ture differed but slightly from the normal The dally average temperature for the season, from January 1 to August 20. hag ranged from 1 to degrees above the normal in tbe central Valley, and It has been sliehtlv cooler than usual at stations on the Atlantic and Pacllic coasts, and from Superior westward to Montana. "Rainfall During the week the rainfaU has been In excess erenerallr through the corn and tobacco regions and the northwest portion of the cotton region and in northern New England.

While there has been less than the usual amount of rain In the lower Mississlpp valley, in the middle and south Atlanuc coast In Arkansas and the southern portions of Missouri and Kansas, and from Lake Superior westward to Dakota, well distributed rains have occurred throughout the drought region and tbe 7 a. m. reporta this morning snow tnat rain continues In this section. The large deficiency In the rainfall for the season ranging from five to fifteen Inches In the Mississippi valley, has been slightly reduced in the northern states and augmented In the southern states during the past week, the only section reporting an excess of rainfall for tbe season being northern New England, the central portions oi (be middle Atlantic states, soutoern uaaota ana tne north faclnc coast. "General remarks The weather for the week haa been favorable throughout the corn belt, the recent rains having greatly improved the condition of that crop, but owing to tbe lateness of the rains In the principal corn producing atatea, the yield probably be below the average.

In the cotton region from Alabama westward to Texas the weather for the week has improved the crop condi tions ana tne cotton harvesting is progressing, but more rain would benefit the crop in the central portion of Arkansas. In North and South Carolina an access of rainfall for tbe week is reported unfavorable for the cotton crop. The weather has been generally favorable for all crops In Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and In the Middle Atlantic and New England states. In Minnesota the uncut crops were improved and harvest crops damaged by rains." A Disastrous Wreck. Washisotox, Aug.

A Diabolical Doed. Evajisvii.lk, Aug. 17. A special from Uniontown, gives the particulars of the finding of the body of a woman in Trade Water river, If the story as told 1 true, will probably bring to light one of the most dia bolical crimes ever committed In this section, A few day azo the body of Mrs. Joaie Wnodie was found in tbe river near Casevville.

When taken from the river the blood oozed from her mouth, ears and nostrils. It wa also discovered that ber neck and one of her arm were limber, which pointed to foul play. A basket containing some clothing: belongihsrto the husband of tbe deceased woman waa found close to where she was taken out of the river. A coroner's Inqueat was held, and Bone Woodie. husband of the deceased, testified that li f- and he bad a falling out, and she ienm is-, vv itoont making any explanation or irymgtofind out the real cause the death, a verdict wa rendered of suicide.

and a hole wa duz on tbe bank of the river, where tbe corpse was buried. Several reports of fonl play are afloat and In all probability tbe county coroner will have a post mortem made of the remains.
