ana burned fercely. ON the en-
CINE were Engineer John Cowan,
Fireman Harvey Galehouse and
Head Brakeman Edward Miller. AL OF
them received probably fatal injuries
before the fire reached them. but when
their bodies we're found the fire had
roasted them. Fireman Galehouse's
body was buried in the debris

Cowan and Miller were married
and had two children each. They
lived at Alliance. Galehouse was IN
married and resided az Doylestown. The
oil from two other tank cars added fuel
70 the fire, which consumed twenty
freight cars and the ties on about 800
feet Of the track. So intense
was the fire that the steel rails
were twisted out of shape and the
bell on the buried engine was melted.
The track was so badly damaged that
freight and local passenger trafic was
delayed about fourteen hours. The
through passenger trains were sent over
the Kypane via this city, Creston and
Orrville. The cause of the wreck was
,he failure of the dead engineer TO stop
when tagged by q brakeman from the
disabled train. The supposition is that
the three men were asleep on the en-
gine and did not have time to jump of
il they did walen up before the crash.

BE Unvaied During the Worlds Fair.
CHICAGO, March Sit will be no fault
Of American women if, at the coming
worlds fair Queen Isabella OF CASTLE
does not receive full recognition of the
part she played in the discovery Of tie
New World. She alone, it is claimed,
among the powerful rulers whose aid
was sought by Columbus had the
intelligence to appreciate his worth
and the generosity to furnish
him means for fitting out his expedi-
ton. Without her help tho great dis
coverer could not have sailed. In view
OF this tho American women insist on
Queen Isabella's right to be regarded as
co-discoverer of America. Societies
have been formed in New York. Wash
ington, St Louis and Chicago having
for purpose the collection Of funds for
the erection of a statue to Queen
Isabella, to be unvailed at the worlds
fair. Harriet Hosmcr has been en-
gagged 20 execute this work, which will
be begun as soon as Miss Hosmer re-
turns to Rome.
A second object of the association is
TO erect pavilion for the use of women
during the fair. 1t will contain de-
partment for the display Of articles com.
memorative Of Isabella and the discov-
cry Of America; a representation OF the
Spanish court in the time OF Ferdinand
and Isabella, besides social and business
headquarters for the members OF the
association. The pavilion will also con-
tain a congress hall in which any de-
sired conference Of women may be held.

goes down in dark and murl1y water tho
diver, no matter how skillful he may be,
finds the chances of success reduced to the
barest minimum. Many of the hooking
devices are limited by the length of the
pole to which they are attached, and
the others, fastened to long lines, are
with difficulty manipulated under very
readily supposable circumstances.
Officer Debrosse had two drowning
cases occur under his own eyes, either
one of which might have been turned to
a rescue had the proper implement been
at hand. The first was at Marseilles
in 1886, and the other no later than the
evening of September 10 last beside the
French line pier in this port. A sailor
was engaged in painting the side of the
vessel and fell into the sea, sinking al
most at once, but indicat ting his posi-
ton under the water by the bubbles of
air rising to the surface. Two good div
ers went to his rescue, but the bottom
was fully thirty feet away and the
water SO black that at half that depth
the divers were unable to see any thing
at all. Several sailors rugged up from
raft device for dragging the bottom,
but the raft was not easily managed. A
boat was hastily procured and for up
ward of two hours the efforts towards
rescuing were kept up, the ship-carpen-
