THE HARRISBURG ACCIDENT
Twelve Persons Have Died Thus Far
Blame for Engineer Kelly.

HARRISBURG. June 26-The twelfth victim Of
the wreck on the Pennsylvania Railroad yes
terday died in the City HOSPITAL at o'clock
this morning Ee was Ferdinand Goldberg Of
Brooklyn. His injuries were chiefly internal.
though his leg was broken aid his face was
badly cut He had $4,000 in cash in his pock-
cts when he was taken to the hospital. All the
other victims are getting along fairly we'll. and
the physicians in charge believe that no other
deaths will take place. W. F. Eastwck OF Pitts
burgh. and Percy NJ. Lands and Maggie Smith
OF Safe Harbor. n. j.. have SO far improved that
they will leave for their homes tomorrow.
Engineer Hugh Kelly Of the second section
OF the Western express is coming in for share
OF the blame Of the accident. He testified be-
fore the Corners jury yesterday that he was
running at the rate Of forty miles an hour
when the collision took place. A city ordl-
nance limits the speed Of trains within the city
t. fifteen miles an hour. Had the lower rate
stopped his train in time 10 avert the collision.
Tho operat or ut the Dock street crossing gave
Kelly the danger signal. and he had POO feet OF
space in which to stop. but Kelly asserts that
he could not see the light on account OF the

ing his train under control when passing q

vcstigaton. but II is generally believed that
Kelly will be INDICTED with the operator who IS
now in prison. The Dock street operator Is
excused from all blame. He made desperate
efforts TO stop the section. His block signal
was properly displayed and he also waved u
red lantern from the platform OF his tower.
but he said to-day there seem ed to he no slack
in the speed OF Ke!ys train: and he knew
what thr result must be- as the first section
was running slowly only short distance west
Of his station. Kelly has been In the service OF
the company for twenty-one years. and this Is
his first accident.

thing justifying the expenditure of single

r. Nearly all Of the mounds, except those
which cover altars or those obviously built
rs "signal" mounds, or, as is evident occa-
sionally, as the foundations of structures
which have long perished-contain human
skeletons, accompanied by few simple OBJ
jects, but so many of the latter have been
exnumed that they are now practically
without value.
Tho Problems OF Archaeology.
Contemplation of such vast work as this,
the complicated system at Newark, O., and
the profusion of varied remains in the re-
gion like the Scioto. Valley, provokes ir-
resistibly the queries, who were this great
semi-civilized people? Whence came they?
Whittier did they vanish?
Unanswerable, ALL The last less so than
the others. Evidence accumulates that
they emigrated from the country in which
their multitudinous remains are found,
into Mexico. But before referring to
that can we obtain even feeting
glimpse of the Mound Builders,
while inhabiting the North? A little is re-
vealed by legend of the Indians, and a
little more, perhaps, by the traditions of
the Nahuas. The only Indian tradition
touching the Mound Builder race in gen
eral way, gives indeed scant, and ofcourse,
not perfectly trustworthy, account Of the
ancient race, but it is the earliest informa-
tion we have and is very plausible. 1t is
notable that this tradition does not claim

F. W. Putnam, of Harvard, for the
Worlds Fair, in the Department OF
Ethnoiogy, of which he is super
intendent The exhibit is in good hands,
! for since the time of Squier and Davis Prof.
Putnam has done more than anyone else in
| the exploration of earthworks Through
his influence Harvard purchased the colos-
sal serpent effigy in Adams county, Ohio,
and he has written . mastery description
| of it.
The recent Ohio discoveries were made
through the efforts Of Prof. Putnam ard
Mr.. Warren X. Moorhead. The expense Of
| the excavation was borne by the Worlds
| Columbian Exposition Survey and Mr..
| Moorhead and DR.. H G. Cresson super
intended it. The peculiarities of the arti-
cles found indicate mo re clearly and de1i-
nitely than any before laid bare the iden-
| tity of the Mound Builders with one of the
ancient Mexican races, probably the
NahuaS This theory of identity was gen.
orally entertained by the earlier investiga-
tors, but of late years scientists have
leaned to the belief that the Mound Build
ers were the ore-fathers of the American
Indiana
The King of the Mound Builders.
The former theory is supported by the un-
earthings at the great efigy mound near
Chillicothe, O. There the skeletons of
man and woman were found, the skeleton of
the former so covered with copper plates as to
be practically enclosed in armor. There
were vestiges of woven garments in which
had been enmeshed great quantities of
pearls while all about the crumbling bones
lay a great protusion Of copper, agate,
pearl and stone ornaments, pipes, axes
and gorgets, exceeding in quantity
and variety and in tineness of workmanship
all previous finds The head was surmount-
ed and enclosed by copper helmet, from
which arose widespreading deer antlers, not
of the natural material, but formed of wood,
very true in shape to nature, and covered
with closely fitting hammered copper
sheathing.
So tar did the pomp of sepulture ex-
ceed that revealed by all former exhuma-
tions that, when archaologists were satis-
fed of the authenticity of the wonderful re-
ports that came from Chillicothe, they said:
''The Mound Builder King is found at
last" Great, from an archaeological stand
point, as was this buried treasure, it was,
however, only the prenmlnaV OF iar
more important discovery in the same
mound. A few weeks later-only month
or two ago-the same explorers. delving
deeper in the mound, came upon three
more skeletons buried at its base, thus in
dicating that they were the personages in
whose honor the tumulus was originally
built-personages greater in prestige and
power, if the honor paid them in mortuary
rites are any evidence, than the supposed
''King" himself. Here was greater geld of
art objects than in the first grave, pearls by
thousands, copper galore, in hundred
forms.
The Cross in Ohio and Mexico.
But the most important article of all was
the form of the cross, what is known as the
Swatiska cross. very similar to the early
Greek cross, and like that which is found in
the ancient works of Mexico and Yucatan,

and which occurs on the Palenque tablet. It
was this which has caused the Ohio earth
work to be called ''The Copper Cross Mound, -
and which makes the discovery significant
and unique among all the exhumations of
ancient remains in the Northern States. It
is this which forms the most positive piece
of evidence vet secured that the Mound
Builders were identical with some one of the
early Mexican races This is, so far, the
climax in the line of corroborating evidence
to that conclusion; and it will be accepted
by majority of archaologists and Ameri-
canists as satisfactory.
The cross has been nowhere else found, in
unequivocal form, among the art objects of
the Mound Builders sepulchres, though a
mound of that form appears in Pickaway
county, Ohio, and here it occurs in an in
contestibly "origlnal burial (as distin-
guished from an Intrusive" burial, such as
the Indians sometimes made in the mounds).
The cross Of the Swatiska type occurs several
times cut from hammered sheet copper, the
design being most clearly defined and worked
with dellcacy and precision of a higher
artistic order than those heretofore revealed
outside of the Mexican and Central Amer
lean antiquities. The other copper objects,
considerably more than 100 in number, ex-
hibit greater variety of forms and better
execution than any of former ''inds,'
though few of them are unique, and, of
course, none compare in scientific value
with the crosses.
The Other Finds in the Mound.
They include discs, breast plates or
gorgets, totems, forms of fishes and leaves,
bracelets and anklets, pipes and objects
which are conjectured to be combs for the
hair. Large discs Of copper as big IS dinner
plates were found having inner decorations
in the form of leaves and the conventional
heart shape, the metals between the designs
and the outer rim, supporting or framing
them, being cut away, as in stencil plates.
A flooring of sheet copper covered the skel-
etons, and about the latter were traces
of woven fabrics such as enveloped the
crumbling bones of the 'King." Pearls
were here too in profusion-the fresh water
pearls probably-such as are found to this
day in the clam shells of the Miami and
various other streams in Ohio and the
West
eThe Copper Cross Mound" is one of a
group of more than two score mounds living
within space Of few acres. More prop
erly, it is, or was originally probably,
collection of three mounds merged in one
(and with possible significance rs in
dicating relationship or equality
of rank Of the personages en-
tombed there). Considering it as
. unit, it measured about 800 feet in length,
200 in breadth and was % feet high. Work
is still progressing upon its excavation, but
it is probable that its greatest treasures have
now been laid bare.
