They Defeated the Citizens B. G. Team
in q League Game.
The Hudson County wheelmen had oc-
CASTOR to yell their jaw ~dislocating club
cry. and they did It with commendable
vigor. The bowling team went to New
York last night and met the bowlers of.
the Citizens Bicycle Club. 1t was a
difficult alley with side tracks and open
switches the boys aver, and only an ex-
pert familiar with the road could travel
on the headpin air line.
The New Workers had as much trouble,
in fact more, in avoiding the side tracks
as they sent more balls in the bitches.
The scores were very low but the Hud-
son County Wheelmen are content as
they won.
The two teams kept in close company
until the end, when the Jersey boys
total was better than that of the Citizens
ten by 20 pins.

toadIets remained upon the floor and

Before the nurse returned the room

beads-a chain or necklace such as | had
never seen before. The toads had brought
1t to me, and / wore it at my Celestine's
christening, where it was remarked what
numbers of toads hoped across the,
church floor and seemed to stop tQA

that the toads were fed every winter az

Western. Mrs. Hartt is a sister of
Albert w. Nlckerson, the wealthy
railroad man of Boston, and director
OF the Santa Fe. Mr.. and Mrs. Hartt
Started on their Western trip about
two months ago.
In their party were their son Robert,
Mr.. Henry w. Lamb, ayOung business
man of Brookline, Mass, % years old.
and Miss Alice WinslOw. a cousin or
Mrs. Hartt. Miss Winslow was a
bright, pretty girl of 22. Robert Hartt
college. He was to enter tie freshman
class at Hartford next September. The
ill fated passenger train was due at
Lorenzo at exactly % O'Clock and
was on time. The train following,
known as an ''extra," was running
wild under orders to keep five or ten
minutes behind the passenger. 1t was
in charge of COnduc Hughes
and Engineer Converse. The crew
of the freight train claim that the
dense fog prevented them from seeing
how near they were to Lorenzo. or
from catching sight of the rear lights
Of the passenger. Hughes acknowl.
edged that he knew the passenger was
just due at Lorenzo at the time Of the
collision, but though he was three or
four minutes behind. The rear coach
of the passenger train was the private
car of the officers of the California
Central Railroad, No SO, and was
occupied by Mr.. Hartt and party. All
were sOundly sleeping when the fatal
crash came. The passenger had stopped
only a moment at Lorenzo and was
pulling out when the freight rushed
down upon it. The engine of the
freight telescoped the private car and
crushed into the rear platform of the
Pullman car Santa Anna, just ahead
and wrecked the engine. The engineer
and fireman Of the freight escaped by
jumping from the cab. Brakeman
Palmer, who was riding on the cab. fell
beneath it and was badly scalded by
escaping steam before he could extrl-
cate himself through the cab window.
Miss WinsloW, Robert Hartt, the
porter and the cook were killed out
right. The other three occupants of
the sleeping car were thrown from their
berths by the collision, but no limbs
were broken, as they were fortunate
enough to be in the front end of the
car. Before they could he extricated,
however, they were almost parbolled
| by the escaping steam Of the disabled
engine. The wreck of the private Car
was left at Lorenzo, and the dead
and the injured were placed in
the SloeDer Santa Anna. No medical
assistance was attainable at the
little station where the accident
occurred. and as soon as possible
the passenger train hurried on to Joliet,
Is miles distant, with its burden of
dead and suffering. The injuries of
the wounded were dressed at Joliet.
and opiates administered, which made
the terrible pain bearable. The four
dead bodies were taken off the train
for the Coroner at Joliet. DR.. Curtis.
the cOmpany's surgeon, came with the
Santa Anna from Joliet to Chicago.

BITTEN BY y VIPER clyde Jones, the seven
year.old daughter of Ammon Jones, who lives at
Back Hill, in Mount Vernon, Baltimore, is lying
dangerously i'll at her parents home from the ef-
fec,s of bite from viper two weeks ago. The
child was playing in the garden when she saw
the viper in tho grass. Its pretty color attracted
her, aud she picked it up and ran towards the
house with it, Before she entered the door the
snake buried its fangs in her thumb. The poison
worked its way through her system in spite of
the attending physicians and the ehiid's arm is
swollen nearly twice its natural size. The doctors
have very little hopes for the child's recovery.
