TWO KILLED AND TWO INJURED.
A Man Carves His own Gravestone but
Cuts the Wrong Date. -
CLOSE OF THE Y. M. c. A. CONVENTION

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
DUBOIS, October 26.-This morning, at
Grove Summit, strange and terrible accl-
dent happened to the train leaving here at .
o'clock in the morning. Engineer James
Casey and Fireman Laird, of that train,
were killed, and Conductor Crawford and
Brakeman Fitzpatrick were badly injured.
The train was, as usual, very heavy, ana
pusher was required to take it over the sum-
NIT. On the ascending grade the train
broke in two. Unfortunately this was not
discovered until the first half OF the train
was on the way down the other side OF the
summit and going down the hill to Beech
tree.
When the bottom of the hill was reached that
portion of the train was sidetracked. and Engl-
neer Casey started his engine back up the NIL
for the remainder of his train. Here was the
fatal mistake. though the engineer could not
know that the rear engineer had not even yes
learned that he was pushing loose tram anea9
of him. The rear engine, it seemed, hau pusnea
the latter part of the train steadily up the NIL,
and then showed it over and on the down grade,
where he abandoned it TO run by gravity, tnlnR-
ing the head engineer was still connected.
The abandoned train rushed forward Win
fearful speed. gaining in velocity at every mo-
ment At one place deep curve hides any Two
approaching trains, and here the ascending
engine and the headlong descending train met
with a terrible crash. The engine was backing,
of course when the two struck. the tender was
torn from the trucks and thrust through into
the engine cab Engineer Casey was pinned
fast between the tender and his seat, and,
dying as he was tried again and again to reach
the lever and throw it forward in order to pre-
vent further loss of life and property,
as he had, with the instincts OF AN OLD rallroad
man. reyers ed his lever at the moment of colli-
sion. A brakeman, however, clambered over
the wreck and stopped the train before any
further loss was sustained.
Fireman Laird must have been instantly
killed, while the brakeman and conductor were
hurt, but not fatally. The two injured men
were on the detached portion of the train, and
had attempted, by running from one car to the
other to stop its headlong speed, but were un-
able to do so before they were met by the en-
piDe Enpineer Casey died.

AN INTERNATIONAL DISPUTE.
Complications Likely to Arise Over 6
Canadian Girls Sentence.

Complications Likely to Arise Over a
Canadian Girls Sentence.
QUEBEC, October 26.-Grave iuterna-
tional complications may arise from the re-
cent condemnation at Sherbrooke to one
years imprisonment for contempt Of court
of Leda Lamontagne, who was extradited
some time ago from the United States upon
a charge of arson. Leda's brother was be-
ing tried for murder, and the Canadian au-
thorities sought 10 use her as witness
against him, but she absolutely refused,
contending that she had not been surren-
dered by the American authorities as wit
ness, but on the charge of arson, for which
she was ready to stand her trial.
Leda's counsel contends that her con-
demnation for contempt was breach of
faith with the American authorities, who
consented to- her extradition for an entirely
different purpose, and if he fails to have her
sentence annuIled he will take the case to
Washington and the Secretary Of State will
be asked to demonstrate with the Canadian
authorities, and to demand an explanation
of the apparent breach of international
faith involved in the sentence.

GREEN-GOODs VICTIMS.

Anthony Comstock is Looking Out for the
Inscriptions Operators.
NEW YORK, October 26.-"Ohi all these
letters directed to these places have been
stopped for some time"
This was the answer Anthony Comstock
gave reporter Yesterday when asked what
efforts he would make to apprehend four
green-goods operators, whose names and ad-
dresses John Rotsch1ld, victim, of Wash
ington, Neb., has sent to United States
Marshal Jacobus.
Mr.. Rotschild said that the men were
William Cook, No. 27 Beaver street, F. H.
Cook, No. 66 University place; F. ii. Hunt,
No. 356 Third avenue, and II. Frank. of
Flushing. L. l. Mr.. Comstock said he be-
ieved the men had changed their names
since last spring, when Mr.. Rotschild claims
to have met them, and further, the addresses
given were probably saloons or stores where
the operators received their mail
The reporter called at No. q Beaver
street. 1t is big Office building occupied
by some 10 persons. A thorough inquiry
failed to find out where Mr.. Cooks office
was.
F. H. Cook used to receive letters addressed
to him in the saloon at No. 66 University
place, but has not been seen there in some
time. f. H. Hunt had private letter box
in the stationery store at No. 356 Third aye
nue., and he has, too, given up his box.

southsiders will Make Another Effort to
Have Wells Drilled.
Another effort is to be made to have
well drilled on the Southside, in the hope to
secure pure water. The cS1izens headed bv
Mr.. Jacob Schneider, raised funds some
time ago to put down a welt, and had gone
so far as to decide upon a location and let
the contract for the well. When the citv
authorities heard the we'll was to be drilled
on public school property the proceedings
were stopped, on the grounds, it is claimed.
that wells would not provide the desired re,
lief
Some years ago a lot of wells on the
Southside were ordered filled up on accannt
of their impurlty and it vas claimed that
no better wells could be secured now. M.
W. C. Bernardo, however, has put down a
we'll on his property recently and rot good
water. DIR. Hersman stated last night that
if Chief Bigelow would allow the we'll to oo
down in the Twenty-sixth ward. the water
would be analysed before used. and If il
would turn out impure the well would be
filled up again.

Pennsylvania Officials Don't Like to Talk
About a New Depot.
President Roberts and his inspecting
party, OF the Pennsylvania road, spent Sun
day at the Duquesne. Mr.. Roberts was
seen for few moments in the lobby of the
house. He seldom talks much, but said
that he found the lines and branches
in the west in good condition, and it was the
aim of the company to keep the system up
to the times. Some Improvements will be
made along the road, but on the subject of a
new depot for Pittsburg, Mr.. Roberts was
silent. Some time ago Chairman Blanchard,
of the Central Traffic Association, wondered
when the road would put up new station.
and a good many people in the city would
like to know when the time is coming.
General Superintendent Miller, of the
Panhandle, was asked if there was any talk
about a new depot for Pittsburg. He
laughed and said they had gotten that far

Appearance OF q severe Cyclone on the
Atlantic Coast.
PREPARED FOR THE DIsPATcH.l
A severe cyclone has made its appearance on
the Atlantic coast, central near Hatteras. It
promises TO be as violent as the one of last
week. Its effect is felt several hundred miles
in shore. and probably.a thousand miles off
shore. Its course is to the northeast. and it
will be extremely dangerous for vessels to
leave port until the storm passes. The wind
last night at and near Hatteras was from S6 to
so miles an hour, blowing from the west. This
indicated that the center was j. ust off the coast
The high pressure pushing own from the
northwest caused a very steep arometric gradi-
ent and high winds over the lakes. The high
winds will be felt all along the coast to-day from
Florida to Maine, blowing generally from north
and west. and attended by colder weather. as
cold wave accompanies the high pressure. Rain
fell in the lake regions and the South Atlantic
States. Elsewhere over the country the
weather was fair. 1t was colder in all the
Western States.
