Samuel
Cagle, A. N. & W. Brakeman, Meets a Terrible Death
Samuel
Cagle, a brakeman on the Pocahontas Division, met a horrible
death yesterday morning near Glen Allen. He was standing
on the rear end of a backward moving train which slackened
speed, just for a moment, throwing him from his footing onto
the track many passing over him before he was
discovered, tearing him almost asunder and
grinding
his arms, waist and legs into shreds. He was
perhaps 22 years old and came from Bluff City, Tennessee only
a short while since, acquiring employment with the railroad
company. He had sent his application for apprenticeship
to the Y.M.C.A. last Monday. The remains were sent to
his home on No. 16 last night.

Bless
My Soul, Who Did That
Fine
work for you? Why, Mr. Atkins of the West End art
gallery. All of his work is like this. He guarantees all
of his work and does not turn out work that you would be
ashamed to show to your friends. Now you got to
Atkins if you want pictures like mine. They are the
best. And look here, you can wash them the same as you
can cloth or glass. He does no work only first-class.

Archbishop
Kenrick
His
Funeral an Imposing and Impressive One
New
Telegraph's Special Service
St.
Louis, Mo., March, 11 --- All that is mortal of the last
Arch-Bishop Kendrick whose name will go down into history as
the chief American opponent of the doctrine of papal
infallibility was consigned to Mother Earth today. The
funeral ceremonies which preceded the interment took place in
the cathedral which was elaborately draped with emblems of
mourning. Admission was by ticket except to the
galleries, and the spacious edifice was crowded to suffocation
in every section. Cardinal Gibbons occupied the throne
to the right of the alter. The pontifical high mass
requiem was chanted by Arch Bishop Kaln assisted by the
attending priests and choir and the sermon which was preached
by Arch Bishop Ryan of Philadelphia was cloeuent [sic; as
typed] panegyric upon the life and labors of the deceased.
