and Several Injured.
JAMESTOWN, N. Y, July early
this morning passenger train No. 10, east
bound, on the New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio Railroad, and freight train No.
So, came together near Kennedy,
The wreck is one OF the worst that ever
occurred in this vicinity. Both engines
were completely demolished, freight cars
piled up and the smoker of the passenger
train was forced clear through the baggage
car.
Charles Eiseman, of Meadville, Pa, en-.
qineer of the freight, and Louis Weniz, Of
Meadyille, baggsgemaster, were killed.
Both firemen were injured. The only pas
senger hurt was Fred Sibley, of this city.
He was alone in the smoker and had time
to Jump before the crash came, escaping
with eprained ankle.
It was very fcggy when the collision
occurred. The blame is said to be on the
engineer of the freight, who should have
waited at Kennedy for the passenger train.

JoHSsTOwN, July 6.-The Corouer's
jury inquiring into the manner Of the
death of Ellen Hite, one of the victims of
the food, held session again at the Office
Of Coroner Evans here tonight. The only
witness examined was James u. Shoemaker,
aresident OF Johnstown, who test fed that
he was at South Fork dam shout nine
years ego, when ii was being rebuilt, and
saw hay and straw pnt in the filing with
loose dirt. He could not say whether or
not rot this was proper material, as be WAS
not an expert in building dams After
considering all the evidence laid before
them, the jury rendered the following
verdict:
We, the undersigned, the inquest en-
pannelled TO investigate the cause of the
death OF Ellen Hite on the dsy OF the 3lst
OF May, after hearing the testimony, do
flnd that Ellen Hite came TO heT death from
drowning, and that the dro wniDg was caus.
ed by the breaking OF the South Fork dam
We further find from tn testimony, snd
whst we saw on the ground. that there
was not sufficient waste weir, nor was the
dam constructed sufficiently strong, nor of
tne proper material, to Withstand the
overflow, and here we find that the own
ers Of the said dam were culpable in rot
making it as secure az should
have bsen done; especially in view
of the fact that population
of many thousands were in the valley be-
low, and we hold the owners are respon-
sible for the fearful loss of life and prop
erty resulting from the breaking OF the

ord-Sam Taylor has just returned to
New York from two weeks trip to the
Northwest, and feels bearish on wheat.
He says he visited all the principal
spring markets, including Chicago,
Milwaukee, Duluth and st. Paul, par
ticularly st. Paul, and, contrary to eX-
pectatiOn, found a majority of the
trade there bears. He believes that
the drought did practically no damage,
as the recent heavy rains came just in
time to save the crop which certainly
would have suffered had the drought
continued a few days longer. Hence
he thinks the crop will be a full average
one if not more. Sam Taylor doesn't
know, perhaps, that IN st. Paul it is
believed to-day that Northwest wheat
production is mainly winter wheat.

EQUALIZING TAXES.
The City Board Organizes and
VIII Work,

The members of the city board of
equalization met yesterday and were
sworn in by City Clerk Haney. The
board is made up of the council com
mittee of taxes, composed of Aid. Low
ell, Sterling, Meloy and Adams, and is
allowed per diem for service. All
were present but Mr.. Lowell. Aid.
Sterling was chosen chairman tenn
temporarily, and w. B. Jones
was elected clerk. Business was not
very brisk at the first session. Only
four indignant citizens appeared to ask
a reduction Oh personal taxes. Iney
were Hector Mclean, who SWOre his
personal property was worth not over
$50, and his wife ran the house with her
separate bank account, anyhow; Z. W..
Williams. who claimed his brOther-in-
laws taxes and his own had been
charged up to one of them; G. III. Hath
away, who appeared by attorney to in
form the board that his personal proper
ty had been taxed in Iowa before he came
here, a representative of the Lurline
boat club, which has been assessed at
So, 900, which he claimed was excessive,
as the house was old and good many
of the boats were the property of in
dividual members. All the complain
ants were requested to return new
schedules embodying their ideas of
value and swear to them. The board
will proceed to-day to examine the en-
tire assessment and will then set
days to hear grievances from the diff
ferent wards. Sessions will begin at 9
o'clock a. H.. and the work will prob
ably continue thirty days.

Freaks Of Nature.

A. A. Porter, of North layton, VT,
has four-legged and fourwinged
chicken.
Thomas L. Clark, of Rochester, handed
to the New Bedford Mercury straw
berry with hornets nest attached to it.
A well-known citizen of Great Bar
rington has adopted novel method Of
keeping the robins away from his straw
berries, by roping a cat into service.
The method has worked well.
A curiosity in the shape of a fungus
has been found in the bottom of the
large tank we'll recently dug in the East
Hartford Comm freight yard. 1t is of
a Shiny nature, and ooZes up from the
sail in the bottom of the we'll. In color
it is nearly white, bearing some resem-
blance to the white of an egg. 1t col
lects in variety of artistic formations
on top of the water. Rev. G. A. Bow
man has sent sample of it to New
Haven for analysis.
An indust ious rat has taken
up his abode in Pittsfeld drug
store show window. He lives
concealed from sight under the
bench of the window, and occupies his
spare time in coming out and catching
flies on the great plate glass window.
He never misses fly that he goes for,
and those who watch him as he catches
them are much amused by his antics.
He has become so tame that he does not
mind the people who stand about the
window.

LOCAL TOPICS,

The work of compiling the names for
the city directory is about half finished,
and the GLOBE has it from source that
is fairly reliable, that up to the letter
''N'' there are shown to be about 700 less
people in the city of Minneapolis than
there was year ago. The falling OH
can be accounted for by the theory that
as active canvass for names was. not
made this year as last year when there
was a spirited competition in the
directory business. Either that or else
the unpopularty of the present city
administration has induced many peO-
pie TO leave Minneapolis for other cities
where the observance of certain rules
of living is not made so largely mat
ter of conjunction.

The doings of the county and city
building commission will bear close

day said that although the foundations
are not yet laid, that there is evidence
of considerable extravaganza. For III

are to be used where fifteen forty-pound
beams would be sufficient for any rea-
sonable weight that will come upon
them.

The park commission is seriously re-
sponsible in measure for the two
drowning casualties that have occurred
at Lake Harriet this summer. Many OF
the boats that are rented are unsafe for
persons unaccustomed to the water, as
has been shown in Sundays sad catas-
trophe. More than that, there seems
to have been no provision for
the saving of lives, i'll case
of such accidents as the one referred to.
With ordinay watchfulness on the part
of the park police or others in charge. OF
the boats at Harriet, and life-saving
apparatus, at least one and perhaps two
lives could have been saved.

death while at work digging well.
Benson and his brother were work
ing a deep well for j. NJ. Wells, of
Southeast Minneapolis, and just before
time to quit work, Que of the heavy
buckets in which the dirt is hoisted out
of the shaft fell, as it was
being attached to the windlass
by which it is lowered, and
struck Benson on the head. The
depth of the well is forty-five feet, and
the heavy bucket, striking him, killed
him instantly. The coroner had the
remains removed to Connolly's morgue,
but it is not likely that any inquest will
be considered necessary.
Benson was thlrty-one years of age
and had been married only about three
weeks. He resided at 721 Eighteenth
