MAssILLoN,. Dec. 19.-All possible addi-
tional particulars of the disastrous, death
dealing wreck on the Wheeling and Lake
Erie Railway at Bolivar were gathered TO-
day by a drive to the scene. Hundreds of
people poured into the village from the sur
rounding country, each one carrying away a
relic of the unrecognizabie car. Since the
report sent last night two more deaths have
occurred, making the number of fatalities
six. The additional deaths were Mr.. and

features of the unknown woman. no one has

learned that her destination was Unionport via
Bowerstown.

.sPECTAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH;
NEW YORK, Dec l9-Jack McAuliffe, the
lightweight champion, talked Interestingly this
evening to DISPATCH reporter on pugilistic
matters OF the day, and more particularly in
regard to the Dempsey y-Fitzsimmons battle,
which will take place in New Orleans next
month, and for which both men are in hard
training. McAuliffe has been giving sparring
exhibitions at an eastern district iheater with
Jimmy Nelson, the instructor of the Brooklyn
Athletic Club. Nelson was a shopmate of Nc
Auliffes when Jack hammered at barrels in a
cooperage on North Third street for his liveli-
hood. McAuIffe thinks highly of FitZsin-
mons, but does not appear TO consider that
there Is any danger of his friend DEMPSEY los
ing his title as middle-weight champion.
'Fitzsimmons is very good man." he said,
''but all this newspaper talk about his wonder

him on the night of the battle. McAulitfe, who
retired from the ring for the time being after
the sudden death of his wife, actress Katie

THE DIFFERENCE.
Crackers Fresh From the Oven Are the
Only Kind to Eat.


Only Kind to Eat.
Did you ever think what difference
there is in crackers? A stale cracker is
Just as much OF an abomination as stale
bread. Pittsburg people are great lovers
of crackers, principally because they can
get the best that are made in the country
fresh from the ovens every day.
Pittsburg is one of the greatest cracker
baking towns in the world. The mammoth
Marvin establishment alone turns out
almost enough to keep the entire popula-
tion OF half dozen States eating "a hours
a day
And there is this about the Marvin goods,
they can always be relied upon as being
thoroughly pure and fresh. The great
ovens are going constantly, and a score or
more Of wagons are busy from morning till
night delivering the crackers to grocers in
the two cities. OF course, Pittsburg can
consume onlv a small portion of the product
Of the factory. The rest is shipped to al
most every State in the Union, for the fame
OF Marvin's crackers is not merely local.
Everybody from Maine to California has
heard of them, and everybody who knows a
good cracker when he sees it wants to get
them. If you don't already use Marvin s
crackers, order some from your grocer. If
you try them once you will never want any
others.
Then there's bread, Palace bread. Have
you tried it? If you haven't, you ought to.
It's just about the finest thing in this line
in the market. Marvin's breads are baked
fresh every day. An army of wagons de-
livers them TO the city trade and express
trains carry them to towns within reach all
over the western part of the State.
Ask your grocers for Marvin's Palace
bread and see if it isn't just about the nice
est thing you ever tasted. TusSu

BANCROFT WILL COACH.
The Colonel Will Take Charge of the Har.
ward Crew for $1,000 a Year.

Boston. Dec lit is all but certain that by
Thursday night Colonel W. NJ. o. A. Bancroft,
known in college athletic circles as Foxy
Bancroft. will have accepted the position of
coach to the Harvard crews for the next three
years. The matter of asking Colonel Bancroft
to take this position has been under discussion
for long time. Harvard graduates realize
that Foxy Bancroft is the only man who has
coped against Yale's Bob" Cook with any de-
gree of success.
Last Friday there met at the Parker House
some 50 Harvard alumni strongly identified
with Harvard athletics, and among them were
eight ex-captains of Harvard crews Captain
Perkins, of this years crew, presided. The re-
suit of the meeting was a communication ill.,
dorsed by the Executive Committee of the
Boat Club and sent to the Committee on Ath-
letics In the communication itwas stated that
it was the sense of the meeting that the crew
should have a coach and that if the committee
consented TO the appointment of Colonel Ban
croft for period of three years the graduates
present guaranteed him an annual salary OF
S.. 00O for three years.
The Athletic Committee will act upon the
communication Thursday. A favorable answer
is expected.

BOSTON, Dec. l9.-President Soden said to-
night that the Triumvirs had seen no reason
to change their settled opinion that no city
could accommodate two balls clubs with either
financial or moral success. The dollars that an
American Association club might make here
or the dollars which the National League
might lose by Its rivalry were not of half as
much importance as the dollars which would
fall between the two and which nobody would
get. Mr.. Soden denies the current rumor that
he had been offered his pick of the Boston
Brotherhood players in exchange for the Asso-
citation franchise. No proposition of any sort
has. he says, been made by Prince or his CON-
radeS.
