A recent report by the coroner's physician of Brooklyn1 suggests that the prevention of such accidents deserve more consideration from the medical profession here. He gives as the record for sixteen days in that borough, September 4-20, eighteen fatalities from burns in children, besides three of adults.

NEAR CITY OF FLORENCE In Crossing- Black Crock Touring Car Swerves and Whole Thing Goes Overboard.?Coroner Holds Inquest iNows dispatches scut out from Flor eneo last Sunday give the details of a horrih.le accident on last Saturday night near the city of Florence, when a party of young men went joy riding. The dispatch reads as follows, dated on Sunday: As a result of a joy ride in an automobile last night, Robert S. Harrison, a young merchant; A. D. Taylor, and John F. Richter, Jr., employees of the Florence Gas Company, arc dead, and J. W. Wilson, the manager of the gas plant, is very seriously injured. The automobile in which the four men were riding went into the middle of Black Creek stream, at what is known as Muses Bridge, four miles north of this city, shortly after 1) o'clock. The t! r dead men were drowned and Wil .on, the fourth, only saved himself by 1 miracle. From what can be learned and from the testimony given to the coroner today, it seems that Taylor left home about 0 o'ciccl: to go to a garage to iTni CPIO / . /! Anr? ! * * .\nf [jvv uvuiv.; ,iv.-j iv viwiiv mi OUIfUlllUUllvi A Tier leaving' the house he picked up the three other men and went out for a joy ride. Having made a trip around what is knov n as the "loop'' they I'eturned and one of them left the ear and Wilson joined the party. They drove out across High Mill Creek in the direction of Clack Swamp, and as they were passing over the high bridge at Clack Creek, going at good speed, tlie car suddenly swerved to the right iiito the guard rail on the bridge and over the middle of the stream, turning completely over. Wilson*Swam Out. Wilson, not knowing where he was, but finding himself under the water, managed to get free and drive from the side of the car. The stream, being one of the swiftest in the County, swept him some 200 yards down the current, and after considerable effort in the darkness, managed to reach the bank, where he pulled himself out of the water. Not knowing where lie was but hearing dogs bark, and afterward hallowing of hunters in the woods began hallowing himself. He finally managed to reach the road, and after some time assistance :ame to him. He was nearly frozen, mid was carried to a nearby house, and resuscitated from his condition. !t was then that he told of what had happened, but as it was dark no effort was made to locate his three com panons other than to call for them. Wilson was sent to the city by friends about 3 o'clock this morning. Then it was that the news spread like wildfire Search for Bodies. It was only a short time before the Black Crock road was literally lined with automobiles, vehicles and pedestrians, going to tlio scene to do what they Could to learn the true state of affairs, a'nd to assist in the search for the bodies. The car, which had plunged headforemost into the stream could not he seen, but upon dragging, was found about ten feet away from the bridge, lying* right side up in about fifteen feet of water. The tream was searched and about 300 yards below the br! lg*o the dead body of Harrison was found, standing straight up against a cypress tree, with a part of the head out of the water, his back directly against the tree where, it is thought, that ho tried to save himself, hut was finally drowned. Other Bodies Pound. Tim search was continued and about 1 o'clock the body of Taylor was found on the bottom of the* stream about midway between the bridge and where Harrison was found, lying flat on the bottom of the creek in fourteeen feet of water. The search was continued until shortly before ? o'clock this afternoon, when Richter's body was found between tho tree where Harrison's body was found and the north bank of the creek, lying in fifteen feet of water. Richter's body was within three feet of Harrison and it was suggested that the two men must have died in each other's embrace, or were I separated only when the death strugtook place. They were riding in the hack seat and Taylor and Wilson in the front seat when the accident occurred. There were no scars to amount to anything on either body j and the attending physician stated i that their de^tn was from drowning. Caused Much Incitement. It was doubtful if any occurrence has ever created so much excitement in the city than this sad affair today.

The Aftenblatt, of Stockholm, publishes a letter from a German officer to a friend in Sweden giving- the following impressions of an engagement near Chalons during the battle of tho Mar no. "In the neighborhood of Chalons 1 took part in the most terrible battle that 1 have ever seen; 1 was, however, at Liege, at Narnur and at Longwy. Since it was impossible for our art.il lcry to silence the French batteries, we decided to charge, thinking the French and English would fly before the German bayonet; the experience proved that our ideas on that subject wore entirely erroneous. "Two of our regiments were ordereel to take the allies' position by storm The French, however, Were ready to receive us and there ensued such a butchery as never was seen in this or any other war. A detachment of French concealed among the trees' threw themselves on us. They were mostly turcos and zouaves, strong dev ils against whom it was impossible to fight. A zouave, with a gun, bayonet fixed, is the most infernal thing* that i can be described. "Savage cries of pain and of anger! resounded through the wood. A great many men fell there and saturated the ground with blood. Soon the French artillery came into action and its projectiles completed the work of the bay; onet. Our men beat a retreat at full speed across the wood now in flames, j Those who escaped the bayonet fell under the rain of bullets and lay burn j ing in the thickets. Only GO men of my regiment returned. Of the other j only 11 came back, and of the 71 sur-1 vivors, all were more or less grievous ly wounded. "I followed the campaign in Manchuria, but ? think in the course of the live first days of the battle of the i Marne, more victims foil than wore counted in the battle of Mukden and, of Lino-Yang." Another evidence of the murderous; character of the fighting in,this battle is furnished by a French soldier's i letter published by the Dopeche Dei Toulouse. "Wc have been fighting I for three weeks to the cast of Verdun j in the region of the Tournon Geni-! court and Faint Medici forests," he wrote. "We advance, but slowly because the * boches' (Germans) are strongly entrenched. For ten days wc occupied trenches only 400 yards from, theirs, and they did all that was humanly possible to break through. They! charged as many as ten times a day! and at nighl they tried to approach bv creeping along the ground. Cut all their assaults were repelled with great slaughter; .'1,000 German bodies: were left in front of our trenches. "After every repulse each of ouvj men grabbed two or three mausers with ammunition from the bodies of! the dead and stood them alongside in the trenches, and when the enemy came back he was received by fire from his own weapons. "To guard against surprise at night i we took all the empty beef cans, tied J them to a cord and piled them so that j when the Germans came creeping to* ward our lines and the cord was touch e l, they made enough noise to give an alarm. One night when the cans rat-j Fed, we replied with immediate volleys and there was no more disturbance that night. In the morning we counted five hundred dead Germans lying on the ground within a hundred irds of the trenches." Mother and Children Burned. Mrs. Marcila i'etro and her two chil <lron, girls, of Pittsburgh, l'a., were burned to death when their home in Home, stead was destroyed by fire last 1'riday. The mother lost her life in attempting to rescue her children. scene visited the place. Harrison contacted a mercantile business In North Pargan street and was married some years ago to Miss Whitton. He leaves no children, but a wife, sisters, brothers and an aged mother. He was about 35 years old. Taylor was married last April to Miss Georgia Buchhcit of this city, he has no relatives here, do came here from near Ashcville, N. C., and had been with the gas company for about two years. He was about 30 years of ago. Pitcher only came to the city recently from Henderson, N. C., and was unmarried. The three bodies were brought to the city this after noon and carried to Waters undertaking* establishment and are being prepared for burial, but funeral arrangements have not been completed as yet. 0 The affair, while it created no small amount of excitement has cast j a gloom over the city throughout the day. The automobile was gotten out about 2 o'clock by means of grabhooks, block and tackle, and considerable force. It was not badly damaged other than the top being smasher wind shield broken and fenders beni STABS S STRIPES LEAVE MEXICO HOW FUN ST ON HAS LED HIS MEN AWAY FROM VERA tKl'Z BATTLESHIPS REMAIN THERE Vessels at Vera Uruz and Tnmpico and a String o(" Ships on the West Coast will Remain to Protect Americans.

Con Nunston's ; Cant. y. ami marines, numbering' about 0,000 men, tomorrow will haul clown the Stars and Stripes which have been Hying' over Vera Cruz since last April, and evacuate the Mexican r?ort in accordance with instructions f'om President Wilson. The five battleships at Vera Cruz and Tampieo and the string of vessels on 1 the west coast will remain in Mexican waters to afford protection to Americans and be in readiness to meet emergencies. T.t was just seven months ago when the bluejackets and marines under Rear Admiral Fletcher; seized Vera Cruz as an act of reprisal j for affronts to the American flag at Tampieo, where a boatload of American bluejackets were arrested. Gen. Huorta, who controlled the forces at Tampieo, had refused to comply with the demand of A.dmiral Mayo for a salute of 21 guns. i Advice from Mf xieo today still were j confusing .but lino American govern-! meat's determination is io withdraw its troops and to remove from Mexi ( in territory a passible cause of international fric ?ion as well as a political factor that might become a domes tic issue between factions in Mexico.

In withdrawing* from Mexican soil the United States has taken pains that no faction shall be recognized. Ail element:; united in requesting evacuation and in pledging the guarantees required by the \Y* shington government. Gen. I'Tmston has no orders to give possession of Veia Cruz to any particular chief. His instructions arc'sipiply to pack his possessions and withdraw, bring away any Mexicans who fear to remain, as well as all the custom money collected during the i American occupation. The $1,000,000 or more ?n custom | duties will be held until a government fo* rnailly is recognized by the United, States. Admisistration officials do not regard the tangled state of affairs in the southern republic as altogether hopeless. They are inclined to view the evacuation of Mexico City by Car ranza in the face of the Villa advance j as an evidence of a desire to avoid fur thor bloodshed. lTp to midnight last j night, according to official dispatches, j bcth Gen.

Many officials believe Carranza ordere 1 evacuation of Mexico City that he might concentrate his forces at Orizaba and continue parleys for a compromise provisional president, lie is under stood to be hopeful that when the convention reassembles in Mexico City some one beside Gen.

Another view held in Mexican quarters is that while the Mexican capital has been evacuated there are large forces to the north and east which will continue to threaten the Villa columns The marines now sationcd at Vera Cruz will he taken to League Island navy yard Philadelphia and the troops will be sent back to their camp at Texas City, Texas. The army transports Kilpatrick, Sumner, Cristobal and Kansas will carry all but a few of the soldiers, who will be taken aboard! the refrigerator ship McClellan. It I is believed all of the tyiimals and supplies of the army can also be removed in one trip of the transports. The marines, 2,400 in number, will be transported northward on the chartered transports City of Denver, City of Memphis, and San Marcos. After Gen.

Kew people realise to what extent their health depends upon the condition of the kidneys. The physician in nearly all eases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patient's urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing- their work properly, the other organs cannot readily be brought back to health and strength. When the kidneys arc neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health statistics, Height's disease, which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in 191*1, in the State of New York alone. Therefore, it behooves us to pay more attention to the health of these most important organs. An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is 1)}-.
