4 RAILWAY HORROR.
4 Terrible and Fatal Accidea
at West Cambridge, Mass.
a Train T'elescoped, With Much
Loss of Life.

A through freight express train, west,
bound, on the Fitchburs Railroad, ran into
passenger train standing on the outbound
track at West Cambridge (Mass.) Junction,
telescoping the rear car, killing eight per-
Sons outright and injuring nearly forty
others. three Of whom died next day. and
seven others were thought to be fatally hurt.
While standing near the crossing the e1-
press freight train, which was bound west,
came laundering along, and Just as t9e pap
senger train started to cross to the Wate1-
town branch the freight train crashed INTO
the rear of the passenger train.
The passenger train engine and the for
ward truck Of the smoking car No. ~ had
crossed over on the branch track, which left
passenger cars Nos. 80 and 158 on the cross
over. and No. SO, the fatal car, standing
on the main westbound track.
The cars were piled up on one anotner In
indescribable confusion, completely biockr
ing both tracks for fully one hundred yards.
AS soon as the accident occurred word was
dispatched by telephone to the various pc"
lice stations in Boston to send surgeons to
the scene.
Engineer Goodwin, Of the freight train,
SAWS. GAS soon as saw the signals on tho
rear of the passenger train reversed the
engine. but the momentum OF the freight
carried It into the passenger train. Fireman
Eppene Alexander and I stuck by our en-
CINE. I saw no signal or hagman on the
track"
c. F. Lawson, engineer Of the passenger
train. and one Of the best men on the Fitch
burg road, says: ~ cannot account for the
accident, except that the night was 80 foggy
that the engineer Of the freight did nos
see our brakeman until it was too late to
stop his train" -,
As soon as the crash came there was wild
rush to get out of the cars. Frantic men
and women rushed about in purposeless
way, shrieking and groaning.
But soon another source Of danger de.
veloped. Flames began to burst from the
wrecked freight cars. Two alarms on the
Gre bells were hurriedly sounded, and by
hard work the fire was subdued.
Then the work Of rescuing the dead and
injured wa, begun. Ths windows OF the
rear car had to be broken in and portion
Of the side cut through in order to reach
them.
The station was turned into an emergency
hospital, to which those taken from tho
wreck were removed and cared for. One
by one the dead bodies we're brought IN and
laid upon the hcor 49,,
Mangled by the crash of timbers, scalded
by steam and benokened by fire, they pre-
sented sickc1ng appearance.
Most of those on the passenger train were
Dsidents Of places on the Watertown
Ranch, and.nearly all of them were work.

THE day of the Hello" girl Is al
most past; in other words, it Is said
that the automatic telephone ex'
change is practical success, and an
ingenious electrical mechanism is
about to take the place Of thousands
Of young women at telephone head
quarters. The machine. is fully de-
scribed and illustrated in the West
err Electrician, and the inventor Is
about to put it in operation in East
ern cities at once. This threatened
wholesale displacement Of a large
body of young women who have gone
to the trouble Of undergoing course
Of special training, and have been for
years the faithful workers in great
industry which is also monopoly, Is
a very serious thing, and unless liv-
ing becomes rapidly cheaper with the
increase Of the machines that GUST
men and women, some solution will
have to be found to the question,
what are you going to do about it?"

TO PROTECT AMERICANS.
Why the War Vessels We're Sent to
Venezuela.

Why the War Vessels We're Sent to
Venezuela.
Secretary of State Fost,r stated that the
despatch Of the laval vessels Chicago and
Philadelphia to Venezuela was not in any
way influenced by the boundary ques-
ton between Venezuela and Great Brit
ain, nor was it known at the State Depart
ment that that question had recently as
sumed any new phase. There ara
important American com nercial and other
interest, at various Venezuelan ports which.
in the present state of anarchy prevailing in
that country. it was not possible to protect,
with a single man ofwar. AMI it was
thought desirable tnat forcs sufficient for
that purpose should bssent. The presence
OF naval vessels in tnoss waters is not in
tended as menace to any Nation.
The State Department has notified the re-
presantatives Of Venezuala in this country
that iu iicia! procae insS must be instituted
nt once to JUSTIFY the detention OF the ship
South Fort and, seiz I'd at New York on the
statements that the cargo she carried was
contraband, consisting of munitions Of war
for the insurgents at Venezuela. Failure to
promptly comply with the suggestion OF the
department would cause the release of the
vessel
