Five Persons Killed.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23.--The southern
express on the Pennsylvania railroad,
which left Broad street station at 1920
yesterday morning, collided with the
Morton, Pa, accommodation train, near
South street station, West Philadelphia.
Three cars of the accommodation train
were wrecked and five person were killed.
Fifteen others were injured. The injured
have been removed to the Presbyterian
hospital.
The accommodation train was crossing
q switch to pull into South street station.
All the cars but the last one had crossed
when the southern express came rushing
down the track and struck the local pas
senger car that was upon the switch, full
in the middle.
The express was made up entirely OF
Pullmans and the light passenger car was
hurled 30 feet from the track, broken and
smashed by the terrific force of the blow.
The express train escaped injury and the
engineer immediately stopped his train.
A squad Of policemen were soon on the
scene and the work OF extricating the in
jured passengers was quickly accom-
plished. Mr.. and Mrs. Mintzner had their
heads severed from their bodies. Among
the passengers on the express train were
Congressman Dingley and Belknap, ex-
Postmaster General Frank Hatton, Sena-
tor Washburn, Major John M. Carson and
U. II. Painter, well known Washington
correspondents. All rendered what aid
they could to the injured.
Several OF those on the express train
who had left Washington for New York
with the object OF witnessing the unfurl-
ing OF the American flag on the steamship
New York, were so overcome by the dis
tressing scene that they abandoned their
trip to New York.

A SAD CASE.
Mrs. Frank Colby Attempts Suicide in
Boston Depot.


Mrs. Frank Colby Attempts Suicide in a
Boston Depot.
BosroN, Feb. GA we'll dressed young
woman, rather prepossessing In appear
ance, walked into the dining room Of the
Boston, Lynn and Revere station at noon
Yesterday. took from her dress pocket q
small bottle, and hastily but boldly swal
lowed it's contents. simultaneously she
uttered scream. and then forced hand
kerchief into her mouth; and, just as the
agoniZing pain came upon her, her hands
fell from her mouth and she herself tum-
bled PROSTATE to the floor. The mattresses
ran to lift her, but they touched an appar-
emily lifeless form.
BY her side was the bottle, lying where
it had fallen from the convulsive grasp of
the woman. II was labeled "Carbolic
Acid" The doctors at the Emergency
hospital were Immediately notified, and
in few minutes the ambulance arrived.
BY the time the hospital was reached
and the writhing form placed on bed in
the corner the full agony OF pain caused
by the powerful poison took possession
OF the victim. Che screamed and threw
herself about by superhuman strength.
Three men could barely restrain her most
violent actions. Antidotes and emetics
were given, and though the strainings and
tuggings subsidized, it was some time be-
fore recovery was assured. DIR. Segur
worked necessarily, and in an hour or so
the patients eyes opened.
After some prompting and deal OF re-
questioning, she said her name was LIZ
Kie Colby, and later on changed the Liz
zie to Isa abella, and to the name Isabella
Colby she clung. She did not attempt to
deny the attempted suicide.
"I tried to kill myself" she said, "be-
cause ] had no friends and because no one
cared for me-" and the unfortunate girl
burst into tears.
Late last night the girl was considered
out OF danger.

SWITCHMEN ON ASTRIKE
Officials Of Railroads Centering in
Chicago Surprised.
AN INCREASE OF Is PER CENT
IL What the Men Want - Matter Has
Been Under Consideration a Long
Time-Pinkerton Men Reinforce the
PoIios-Men Are Peaceful.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-The swItchmen and
switch tenders on the Chicago and West
ern Indiana road surprised the officials
of the road by going on a strike last
night, and as the road Is the belt road
over which the Louisville, New Albany Il
Chicago, Wabash, Chicago and Eastern
Illinois, Chicago & Erie, Grand Trunk,
and Chicago, Atchison d Santa Fe enter
the city, not q train over one OF these
roads was able to leave the city last night.
The switchmen and switch tenders pre-
sented their demand for an increase OF
wages to President Thomas and Superin-
tendent Warner of the Western Indiana,
yesterday morning, and a long conference
resulted. The men demand an increase OF
25 per cent in wages, which the officials
are not ready to grant at once. long
conference resulted in nothing, and it was
decided that the parties should meet and
go over the ground again.
As late az four o'clock in the afternoon,
President Thomas
Declared There Would be no Strike
and the switchmen said the same. Two
hours later, without further talk on either
side, business was at a standstill. Moth
ing was known of the trouble until the
the suburban train of the Chicago & East
ern Illinois road, which left the depot at
5.45 o'clock, was halted at 10th street by
an open switch. The passengers were
compelled to alight and walk over to the
cable line on State street.
The number OF men out is not over 300,
but there is a strong probability that the
strike may spread to other roads. There
have been for some time rumors Of strikes
among the switchmen at the time of the
opening OF the fair, but that plan was
abandoned because the officers OF the
switchmen's association thought it would
appear like blackmailing the railroads TO
go out at that time.
There is no doubt, however, that the
plan to go out unless their demands were
granted has been under serious considera-
ton by the switchmen for a long time.
The employees of the Chicago Il Western
Indiana are formed into a system of feder-
alton, I'd the cause OF one branch of the
employees Is at once made the cause of all.
The police were notified of the trouble
and Inspector Koch dispatched a heavy
force ofSfien to the yards to quell any dis
turbance, but there was none, the men
showing a most peaceable disposition.
Pinkertons at Work.
Later-At 10 o'clock the police IN the
yards were reinforced by a detachment of
Pinkerton men and force of detectives
in the employ of the road. The detectives
and watchmen began work on the switches
and all the trains which should have
gone out early in the evening were made
up and the last of them were sent out by
mid night.
