A Work Train Pulls Out for Fast Freigh
But was Not Notified that Second Sec
tion was Following Only Five
Minutes Behind.

NEWCASTLE, Pa, Sept. PA terri
BILE wreck occurred on the Pittsbure
and Western railroad at McKims
siding, a station a short distance on
the other side of Zelionopole, Butler
county. At this point work train
with a force of fifty men was engaged
ia putting down new track. About
s o'clock this morning the work train
got out of the way Of freight train
going west, but the crew did not
know that second section of the same
number was following five minutes
later. The work train again pulled
out On the main track and the men
were engaged in throwing out dirt,
when the second section struck the
work train with great force. Cars
We're piled up in shapeless mass and
hot s. cam and boiling water poured
over The unfortunate ones caught in
the an. For moment after the col
li7jon there was silence, then the
air w IS broken by the shrieks of the
dying, making scene so terrible that
one OF the trainmen who had escaped
injury tainted with horror.
The train men and labOrers who
were uninjured began at once torelease
those imprisoned in the debris. Sew
erai Eggs and arms were found in sew
eral different places, and the head of
IN Italian was found twenty feet away
from his body. Engineer John Hough-
ton no had bravely done his best to
stop his engine, attached to the
freight train, was found wedged in
the broken and shapeless iron. By II
o'clock the bodies of eight Italian lab
orers had been taken from the wreck
and with the killing of Engineer
Houghton this swells the number to
nine, There were at least twenty
were injured, several of whom can
not recover. All of the bodies were
terribly mangled and disfigured. En-
gtnoer Houghton was the only Amer
lean killed. Assistance was tele-
graphed for to Zelionople, and in
Short time physicians and citizens
Were at the scene rendering all the
assistance in their power. At this
writing the exact cause of the disaster
can not be learned, but, as usual, it is
said that mistake was made by the
traipmen who did not correctly inter
pref a signal. All trains were de-
layed, but the large force OF men at
work will soon clear the track.

Portrait 500 Delegates Cheer.
LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 24,--The Re-
publican convention was called to
order promptly at 10 O'clock this
morning by Chairman Watson Of the

course of his spec Chairman Wat

tain of the gallant ship-of-
state, the skillful navigator,
the fearless leader, the bright,
the brilliant, the matchless Blaine.u
At the mention of the name of Blaine

touched and portrait of the great

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Weekly Report of the Weather and Condi

Weekly Report of the Weather and Condi
ton Of Crops Throughout the State.
GALVESTON, Tex, Sept. 24.-The
weekly weather and crop report of
the Texas State Weather Service was
issued this evening for the week end
ing September II. 1t gives the tenn
perature, precipitation and crop con-
ditions throughout the state as fol-
lows:
The rainfall has been excessive over
many localities along the coast and
generally slightly deficient in other
portions of the state, although most
localities have had showers. The
temperature has been slightly in ex-
cess of the normal over few localities
in the Central and Southern Texas
and along the coast. In other por.
tions it has been generally below the
depression having been greatest in
East Texas. The sunshine has been
about the average, except slightly de-
ficient along the coast.
Cotton picking continues to pro-
gress rapidly, although interrupted
in some localities by the rains. The
rainfall has been generally beneficial
and the prospects for a heavier yield
have improved, although the excess
i've rains in fe w localities along the
coast will probably lower the grade of
cotton in the fields. Heavier rains are
needed to put the ground in proper
condition for blowing.

Of the skulls bore signs of having been
fractured over the left temple. Rem

and a portion of a scy;he was also dug
up. There is no csrtlinty as to any ex-
plaoation Of the presence Of the bones in
the pit. No traces Of collins we're found
to indicate that the place was a regular
burial ground Several theories have
advanced One is that the place was at
one time a notorious gambling house
and resort for bad characters, and that
several murders we're committed there.
That was anterior TO the building Of the
hotel, and the dock was but few yards
from the site. 1t is also stated that
