A BAD BLUNDER MADE.

The Freight Crew Charged With Being
Asleep - Passengers Pinned in the
Wreckage Unable to Escape the Fire
An Awful Death.
A telegram from Cleveland last evening
stated that it is believed that the engineer
, and fireman on the freight while standing
on the side track at Shreve fell asleep and
were awakened by hearing train rushing
BY. Thinking that 1t was No. 8, the en-
gineer pulled out on the main track, when
the trains met
Jacob Weltman, of Shreve, who was a
passenger on the train, said that he was
half asleep when he was ar oused BY the shock
OF the collision, He,said there was terrible
rumbling noise and almost instantly the air
was filled with cries and screams for help.
He was pinned to the floor OF the car BY
wreckage, but with great difficulty he
finally freed himself and went with others
to the aid of a lady who with her child was
held by the heavy timbers They worked
with might and main to rescue the two, but
were finally driven back by the flames and
compelled to leave the woman and child to
their fate. Mr.. Weltman said the cries
that came from the imprisoned people were
such as he can never forget. The fireman
on the freight train must have had horri-
bic death, as he was caught in the cab and his
frightfully burned body dangled in the air
in view of the hundreds who visited the
scene, the wreckers being unable to get at
it because of the heat. The poor postal
clerks imprisoned in the mail cars, which
were thrownupon the passenger engine, had
no chance to escape. and they were doubt
less all burned to death. ALI the fatalities
occurred in the two locomotives, the postal
and smoking car and the day coach. As
soon as the people of Shreve heard of the
wreck they hastened to the scene with all
the physicians available. The injured were
tenderly cared for, aud every effort possible
made to rescue those who were perishing in
the burning cars The heat was so intense
that little could be done.
The Coroner has begun an inquest.
Trains at present are being run by way of
Akron and Mansfield.

THREE DEPUTIES DISCHARGED,

The Little Bill Taken Out of the Homestead
Service-Machinery Broken in the Mills
"A Workman Badly Injured-Restau-
rant Keepers Threatened by the Strik-
ers.
The steamer Little Bill, that has PLAYED
SO important part in the struggle between
the locked-out workmen and the Carnegie
Steel Company, at Homestead, was taken
out OF the service yesterday and was
brought down the river. For the past ten
weeks she has been in the service of the
State, and was used constantly to ferry
troops and non-union men across the river.
The Sheriff yesterday relieved Deputies
Rickstraw, Smith and Spicer of their
badges and discharged them for not attend
ing to their duties. The Sheriff has been
spending nearly all his time at Homestead
for the past two weeks, keeping his depu-
ties in Eneiand making them attend strictly
to business. This prompt action on the
part of the Sheriff has had its effect, and
now no one is interfered with by the locked
out men while going about the town.
The strikers were greatly cheered yester-
day by the report that q pair of shears in
the 119-inch mill had been broken. This
was denied at the Office of the company, but
it was admitted that q middle roller in the
same mill had been broken. 1t is said to
have been caused by inexperienced men.
Millmen afterward said that shears No. 2
in the 119-inch mill had been broken, and
that it would cost $15, 900 to repair it. The
loss on the broken roller will be $500. The
locked-out men claim that the loss from
broken and injured machinery in the mills
will either force the company to close down
the plant or accede to their demands.
A Hungarian workman in the Bessemer
department was caught yesterday BY piece
of metal and had his leg crushed He was
taken to the West Penn Hospital last even
ing
A number of restaurant keepers In the
town are said to have been threatened by
the strikers for allowing non-union men to
take meals inc their places Of business.
Single meal tickets are issued to non-union
men, and they can 60 anywhere In the town
to get their meals The restaurant keepers
are compelled to take them or run the
chance of having their license revoked.
They fear no trouble on this score
The finding of the grand jury in the case of
the strikers charged with murder, aggravated
riot and conspiracy yesterday, was not gem
orally known In Homestead last evening.
1t excited little comment, but was consid-
cred as severe blow to the strikers cause.
Another meeting of the City Council has
been called for tonight to take action on
the business, SO quickly brought to q con-
clusion by Councilman Rattigan, Monday
evening.

Starr heard of the accident he started for
the scene at once to direct the wreck
crews Conklin has not been seen
since the collision, and it is expected
that he and the balance of the freight crew
will be arrested to await the verdict of the
Coroner's jury. The orders for the trains
were issued from the Wooster Office, and
there is no doubt about them being deliv-
cred and understood.
The passengers going east were trans
ferred to another train about 10 o'clock and
started for Pittsburg. Burt, the engineer,
was sent to his home in Crestline. The
special reached Alliance about IL, where
the hungry people were fed.
This afternoon S50,0 in silver brick

this was an outrage, as they had
been travelling on 6 through
train, and the people were
anxious TO reach Pittsburg. After they
had worked around the wreck for four or
five hours they were surprised that the
company did not send them something to

The Sleepers Escaned.

The Sleepers Escaped.
The four sleepers did not leave the track,
but the crash of the collision reused every
passenger. They were thrown violently in
their berths, and most of them feel stiff and
sore now. The majority were sleeping with
their heads toward the engine and the hard
knocks injured the ersniums of some. The
porters yelled fire and it didn't take the
men long to dress and get out of the cars.
There was danger of another train coming
along and running into the four sleepers in
which were lett the women and children.
A brakeman was sent to the nearest tele-
graph station at once. The wreckage was
burning lively, and the passengers pushed

The Sensational Story Punctured by Police
Superintendent O'Mara.
Patrick O'Connor, q tailor, of 1S High
street, left home two weeks ago without
telling his wife where he was going. He
has not been heard of since A sensational
report was circulated yesterday to the effect
that he had been a member of the Clan-na-
Gael, had thereby gained and turned over
to the authorities information leading to
the arrest Of all the Homestead rioters, and
left home to escape the vengeance Of that
fraternity.
Hugh O'Donnell pronounces the story q
fake. Police Superintendent o Mara, when
asked if there was any Clan-na-G Gael organ
ization in this vicinity, or if there was any
possible truth in the story, said: Certainly
not. The story is the worst story have
seen. I know the Clan-na- Gael has no e1-
istence in this city, and don't believe it
has branch in the State"

WORKING ON MEMS VANITY.

Men and women who understand the
art of bending others to their will give
due importance to the passion of vanity,
and do not scruple to play upon it. A
young French officer who was ordered to
fire upon French revolutionary mob
begged his general to let him try first to
persuade them to withdraw. sit is use
less to appeal to their reason" said the
general. Certainly" answered the Off
Ger; ''and it is not to their reason, but to
their vanity would appeal"
The officer rode up in front of the mob,
dotted his cooked hat, pointed to the
guns, and said, Gentlemen will ha re
the kindness to retire, for l am ordered
cleared at once, for none could brook
the idea of being classed with the scum
of the city.
During the aggrarian riots which dis
turbed England in 1885, mob of rick
burners and machine breakers appeared
at the mansion OF two elderly maid
en- ladies. The walls of the hall were
decorated with suits of armor
and other antique weapons-pikes,
halberds, swords and battle-axes. The
mob clamored for the weapons and for
drink, The ladies courageously refused
their demands, and when the mob seemed
ready to resort to violence, Miss Betty,
the elder of the ladies, went up to the
leader-a hideous looking man-and
said: "You, too, of all the people in the
world! I'm not surprised at these poor
misguided creatures. But that such a
good-looking, intelligent man as you
should attack two defenseless women
does astonish me. You are not the man
1 took you for. Never again will trust
to good looks"
There was no standing up against that
compliment. The man took off his hat,
and said: "Come, old lady, we amt so
bad as all that; only give us some beer.
We would not harm a hair of your head"
''Nd, 1 know that" retorted Miss Betty
''You can't; wear wig" The mob
roared with laughter, and retired with
out another word. Womanly tact had
won the day.-Rrdl Collaboration.
