INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE.
Rumors of an Independent candidate
for the Legislature from Petersburg con?
tinue, but It is hardly likely tnut any
candidate will run with hope of success.
There are 2,200 registered voters in the
city. Of this number 1.0*0 participated In
the recent primary, each of whom pledged
himself to support tho regular Demo?
cratic nominee, so that none of these
voters will support an Independent can?
didate. There Is nothing to Indicate that
Mr. John Watson will not be the repre?
sentative from Petersburg.

THE WRECKED TRAIN.
The train was bound for New Orleans,
La., and was known as the Southern mall
express. It le?ft Washington yesterday
morning at S o'clock, carrying local and
Northern mall for Southern points. It
was made up nf four mall cars and ono
express car. Tho run from Washington
to Danville ordinarily consumes about six
hours: As No. 07 Is a mail train It Is re
oulred to keep to the schedule ns closely
as possible. Its speed yesterday was not
above the ordinary, nnd as 'it approached
Danville Engineer Broady, who lost his
life, reduced tho speed to about thirty
miles an hour, as required by ills orders.
Just north of Stillhouse ravine tjio
track takes a sudden turn. This curve
had been passed and the train was ap?
proaching the trestle. When within a
hundred feet from the trestle the engine
Jumped the tracks and ran along the
cross-ties. As It was about to pass onto
tlie bridge the engine careened, striking
the wooden supports of the bridge struc?
ture. The impact was terrific. Four
supports, each thirteen feet long, wero
greatly weakened and gave way under
the weight of the engine.
The engine fell through the opening,
followed by the five cars, ahd landed
in the mud at tlio bottom of the creek.
The engine was partly buried by the
weight of the cars which fell on top of
It. Although the engine was not badly
damaged, the cars were reduced to a
great mass of broken wood and twisted
steel and iron.
WRECK TAES FIRE.
When tbe cars struck tho bottom of
the ravine the mall bags from the mall
cars were torn to pieces, and letters and
parcels flew ln every 'direction. The
wreckage immediately took fire, but the
flames were extinguished before they
gained any headway by the flro depart?
ment of Danville, Va., which had beer)
summoned. No mail. It is thought, was
destroyed. The contents of the express
car wore scattered about in great con?
fusion, and were practically destroyed.
Several thousands of people quickly
gathered and began the. rescue work. The
bodies of nine persons, who had appar?
ently suffered instant death, wero found.
As these were beyond human aid, tho
rescuers turned their attention to the
injured. They were quickly placed on
?stretchers and removed to the hospital
at Danville. In the meantime Superin?
tendent Coapman und a large force of
men arrived at the scence of the wreck
from Danville. The superintendent took
immediato charge and directed the work
of recovering the bodies. The bodies of
the engineer and firemen were found
beside the engine, showing thnt they had
mado no attempt to Jump as tho train
went down. The bodies of tbe mall clerks
were found under anali bags and other
portions of the debris.
Mall Clerk Spier is considered to be
the most seriously Injured, and no hope Is
entertained for his recovery. He sustain?
ed injuries to his spine and head. All the
other clerks reported to havo boen hurt
are expected to recover.
THE TRAFFIC BLOCKED.
As soon as the rescue work had been
completed Superintendent Cbapman ond
Ills force began to clear away the wreck?
age, which completely blocked traille over
that division of the system until this
morning. The mail sacks and loose mall
wero gathered up and placed In ? secure
place. All the debris of Iho cars was cleared
away, but It was Impossible to pull the
engine from tlie mud. While tho clearing

"Wine of Cardui lias been a blessing to my homo. I have often found that it was a (treat relief when I wns
weary or in pain, but 1 am especially grateful for-what it did for our daughter and only child. I noticed that her
menses were tardy and sin; suffered with-beadaches and giddiness, heaviness in tho abdomen and about the loins.
This seriously interfered with her studies and she had to discontinue several of them.
A visitor calling on uic and disentitling the matter suggested that I give her a course of your Wine of Cardui as
it had relieved her dr.ughter of a similar trouble. After my daughter 1 yp
had used it for five weeks I found a great improvement in her looks, ?^ . ?/ ??F^ s
health and behavior, in fact she was a different girl. The flow became ??-^-y*-*^ ?*?/?G? O Ccr*%y?arKf

Here the menstrual function had not been properly started and the uuaatural condition v/as making the young girl an
Invalid. The headaches and giddiness, indicated something more than a mere temporary ailment. They were symptoms of a
functional weakness which would become more and more aggravated as years went by. But Mrs. Thompson was ready to take
advice for her daughter's welfare and she gave the little sufferer Wine of Cardui and now she is a well young woman.
If your daughter is sickly and frequently ailing the letter of this good mother contains the best advice you cati follow.
Wine of Cardui is the menstrual regulator that cures nine cases out of every ten. Young girls, mothers and middle
aged women find this tonic indispensable. All druggists sell $1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui.

CLEARING Till-": WRfiCtt.
Tho work of clearing away tho wreck
or No. !?7, fast mall on tho Virginia Mid?
land Division, which run off a trc-tle
near this city yesterday afternoon, con?
tinuos, but owing to the depth of Iho
ravine. It Is very slow, ? boy frnm
Lynchburg named Rutled Armlgtcd, who
was In llie expiess car, la supposed to still
be under the wreckdfec.
It was reported 10-day that he bad
left the train at Franklin Junction, but
the train did not stop tboro, and he
must have been |n the wreck.
Workmen are still engaged in search?
ing for the body ?nd II Is expected that
it will be recovered before morning. The
boy was onlv sixteen, years of nge. and
It was his habit to get on the train at
Lynchburg, come ns far as Danville and
then return, and It was on one of theso
trips lie embarked yesterday.
Thero were two boys under the trestlg
tvhon the wreck occurred, and one of
them has been Insane ever since. He has
nighty spells and imagines that he can
see trains flying through tbe air. His
parents are very much exorcised, but it ls
hoped the abber?tlan is only temporary.
OFFICIAL STATKM li.NT.
Vice-Pr?sident Finley, of the Sou ? horn
Railway, Was Interviewed this morning
regarding the accident. He gnldt
"The train consisted of two postal cars,
one express car, and one baggage car
for the storage of mall. The trestle ls
very little damaged, as tho train Jumped
the track about forty feot north of the
tr.-alln on sound track, In good lino and
surface, and proper gauge. The trestle
was In first-class condition, nnd was so
well bracea that the eriglpe and train
falling on the outside of the curve knock?
ed down the oillsida. posta and left the
other side standing. By.?-wltnesses re?
port that the train was approaching the
trestle nt rate nf speed of thirty to tblrty
five miles per hour. The losa ot Ufe and
the personal Injuries are very much re?
gretted. The cause of tlio accident 1=.? b ?
ing Investigated. The trestle was prompt?
ly replaced and the first train pass? d
over It at 0:10 tills morning."
One of the most remarkable escapes
was that of one of the mall clerks, who
was on a rear car. Ilo attempted to
Jump aH tho car toppled. The heavy
structuro beat him to the ground by
reason of Its weight, .he lighting nimbly
on the top of, it, much battered nnd
bruised, but not seriously hurt, lie was
unconscious. '
