DEATH IN THE DITCH.
q Worlds Fair Excursion Train Wrecked
by the Spreading of the Rails

AKRON, O., July pa most serious ac
cident occurred On the Pittsburg and
Western railroad at Monroe Falls, about
seven miles north of here. at $3.50 O'Clock
this morning. The second section of II
Baltimore and Ohio excursion train
loaded with eXcursionists from New York
state, bound TO the worlds fair. was
thrown from the track by the spreading OF
the rails. Three day coaches rolled down
a fifteen-fooG embankment and two others
were derailed. Twenty-one persons were
seriously injured. three fatally. A num-
Der of doctors from here went to the
scene of the wreck and did all IN their
power To allay the suffering OF the IN
iured As speedily as possible they were
convened TO Akron, and all are being cared
for at the city hospital. Ii reports are
true. the accident is due TO the negligence
of those whose business it is to keep the
track in repair. The train was gong
around sharp curve when the accident
occurred.
The fatally injured are j. II. H.Moredick of
Humerton, Ia; j. Hunt of Philadelphia
and Leta Hunt of Baltimore.
The other injured, all of whom are east
ern people, are William Warren, Louis
Stonbach, James Z. Muse, Frank White
J. H. Moore, Henry f. Hegle, William
Hunt, j. r. Allen, II. Boyer, W a. Mode,
II. c. Mode, Mrs. Maggie Core, Mrs. Mary
Smith, Lillian Craner Isabel Forbes, Il.
Stuart aud Mrs. Lillian Sturgeon.
All the injured were ln the day coaches
The last coach was smashed into kindllng
wood, and it is a mystery that any OF the
occupants came out alive.
MAIL TRAIN WRECKED.
Boston. July 25.-The New York mail
train that left Providence a little after
midnight last night struck another sec
tiou at Dodgeville at / O'Clock this morn
ing, while running at the rate of forty
miles an hour, and was derailed. y mail
clerk named c. >. Miller was instantly
killed and another clerk named Murphy
seriously injured. Several passengers
also were reported injured. The engine
was badly demolished and the forward
mail cars completely wrecked. Tne only
passenger coach on the train was sleepei.
It is said that some of the occupants of
this coach were injured, although officials
declare that none but mail clerks were
hurt. There IS no telegraph Office at the
station, and the conductor was forced to
cover a distance OF several miles before he
could inform IA dispatcher OF the wreck.
The train was run on the Old Colony sys-
tenn of the New York, New Haven aud
Hartford railroad.

painted boards confronts you, reach

rises network of wire, rendering the
projection of an explosive over the
boards an impossibility. Three square
holes. foot in diameter, placed at in

visitor to state his business to the
clerks within, but a wholesome terror
of cranks has caused Mr.. Sage to have
a metal grating placed at these peep

could barely pass. The fnancier's
| Office, therefore, resembles Sing Sing
corridor of cells, and his employees sug-
gest the inmates thereof.
But the precautions do not end here.
In the strong board partition is one
small door. 1t is always kept locked.
Mr.. Sage lets himself in with key, of
which his confidential clerk has a du-
plicate. The door is open as seldom as
possible, and when the clerks pass in
or out it has to be specially unlocked
each time. When, therefore, you visit

you will perhaps see the multi-lnillion
aire in a small inner Office. Should it
be worth while, and your appearance
gives no indication of concealed
bomb, the sentinel will pass you in
side the Notifications.
The climax of amazement is afforded
by The condition of the bare, white
washed walls. Lead pencil scrawls
suggest worse than schoolboy vandal-
ism. ''Stingy Russell Sage" is scrib-
bled in great black letters here and
there, with doggerel verse galore.
Only wish to more effectively venti-
late the character of the man prompts
me to state that many of these scrib
blings on Russell Sage's Office walls
are so indecent as to be unprintable.
Thus appears the workshop of the
only New Yorker who singly could
raise fifty million dollars cash in one
hour and who goes to bed roaring every
night of his life.
