Dealer.

Joseph Mansfield, 10 years old, and

THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
Why the Work on It's Construction Has
Been Delayed.

A report transmitted to Congress yester-
day by Secretary Lamar under date Of Dec.
90 last in regard to the construction Of the
congressional library building shows that
the cellar excavation has been entirely com.
pleted and the sewers for drainage put In.
The rejection by the architect OF the ce-
ments furnished by the contractor for lay
ing the concrete foundations, the report
says, has caused an unexpected delay in the
work. All the buildings on the site for the
library except those needed for government
use have been sold and demolished and the
proceeds, $S,450, together with $502 re-
ceived from rents, turned into the treasury.

Some time ago the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad Company determined on laying
siding on Canal street for distance of 800
feet between New Jersey avenue and Sec

to construct the siding under the plea that
II was to benefit the United Oil Com

entered .an indignant protest, and
the police interferred with the construction
of the siding, 1t being said that the work

that ceuld be interpreted as to whether the
permit would be granted or not. At any
rate the permit was granted on Dec. %
last. The strapgest part OF the affair is
that the order allowing the construction
of the siding was never given
out, but was held in secret for several

that the reporters had caught

SAYS: The Santa Fe Strike is ended.
The following official notice was issued
at o'clock this evening: "To the en-

chief to request of you that you return
to your respective positions at once;
further, that | repair to Chicago and adj
Just all misunderstanding" This notice
is signed by |. Conroe, chairman gener-

At Chicago, Chief Arthur was asked
what he thought of the decision of the
Santa Fe men to return to work. I"
am glad they went back" he said. Z"
advised them to 90 back because ! did
not think there was sufficient cause for
a strike. | communicated with Mr..

men to return to work and then come to
Chicago TO settle the matter with Mr..

Grand Master Sargent said the men
went back at 6 O'Clock. He had no IN
formation as to the causes of the strike
or what had induced the men to 90 back
beyond the fact that they had confer
enCe with the officials of the road at To-
peka, and that an agreement was there
made that the railroad would not require
the men to haul any Burlington freight
and they went back on the strength of
that agreement. In reference to the
cause of the strike he said: Il believe,
in fact | know, that Vice President
Smith had nothing to do with itand that
the officials of the road did not mean to
handle any So freight. But sometimes

Ran INTO A FREIGHT.
Disastrous Collision on the Pennsylvania
Many Persons Killed.


ALTOONA, Pa, March I2.-Passenger
train No. 9, on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, collided with a heavy freight train
near Huntingdon, at 3 O'Clock this morn
ing, and both trains were wrecked.
Robert Gardner, engineer, and Fireman
Mowry, both of the passenger train,
were instantly killed, and two
others, freight brakeman and a
Pullman passenger, whose names
could not be learned, were quite seri-
ously hurt. The other passengers es-
capped with severe shaking up The
freight train had jumped the track and
before the fagman could get back to no.
thy the passenger train the collision oc-
CURED. A severe storm was raging in
the mountains and the crew on the
freight train were almost frozen. The
wires are all down and particulars of
the accident are meager. The trains
were delayed several hours.
later dispatch says the express,
which was coming west, was behind
time and WAS running at the rate Of
fOrty-tive miles an hour. The collision
was terrific. Three Pullman cars were
wrecked and three passengers were in
jured, but their names could not be
learned. Gardner, the dead engineer,
resided at Harrisburg. Mowry, his fire.
man, lived at Altoona. The accident
occurred at "Niggers' Gap" rough part
OF the road, about forty miles east of
Altoona.
The brakeman on the freight, ErnestV.
Meyer, of Harrisburg, is the third death
reported from the wreck. The injured
will be brought to Altoona. The wreck
is simply colossal. All trains east and
west are now ten hours late and none
can get through before evening. There
are slXty-three passengers on the west
ern train and the tracks are lined with
detained trains. The wreck crews rom
Mifliin. Huntingdon, Tyrone anG Al
tOona are at the scene Of disaster.
The western and mail express reached
Altoona at / O'clock Passengers report
the complete wreck of first sleeper and
the second partly. A number of pas
sengers in the first coach were seriously
injured. The wreck involves an esti-
mated loss of SIS, 600.
1t is impossible to learn the particu-
lars of the accident, but it is reported that
there are many persons dead in addi-
