The Man Who Says He Sold Four-DOllar

GRAND JURY is KEEPING UP ITS PACE

The suit of F. S. Tarbell against the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company for damages
for the deaths of his wife and two children,
who were passengers on the day express OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad and were swept
away by the Johnstown food. is on trial be-
fore Judge White. Mr.. Tsrbell, the plaintiff,
was the first witness placed on the stand
yesterday. He testified that he was not on
the train that was lost, but his wife and
children were. They were on their way to
visit his wife's father, who lives in Tyrone
Trainmaster Culp, of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, testified that at o'clock on the morning
of the flood, he discovered that the wires did
not work satisfactorily. He knew the condi-
ton of things at Johnstown and Conemaugh,
Trains were delayed and the wires would not
work, owing to washouts, etc. The trains, he
thought were put in the safest place the CON-
pany could reach, being IN the only yard or
siding considered safe.
Mr. Pardee a commercial traveller, testified
to seeing the trains at Conemaugh and knew
the river was rising. He was in the signal
tower and talked to the operators.
MIR. Vine testified to having been passenger
on the train. He saw the river rising, and in
talk with Conductor Bell he was told by Bell
that there was danger of the South Fork dam
coming out, and il il did there would be
trouble. Judge White ruled out as evidence
the declarations made by Conductor Bell to the
witness.
Mr.. Dallmeyer, another passenger on the
train. testified to seeing the train swept away
and the passengers running for their lives.
Colonel Hunter testified that the South Fork
dam was owned by the south Fork Fishing
Club. He said that Robert Pitcairn, Superin-
tendent of the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad, was a
member of the club. James B. Stewart ard j.
Davis, who were passengers On the tram, gave
similar testimony to that of Mr.. Dallmeyer.
