RAILWAY CROSSING ACCIDENT

A Train Runs Into n Crowded street Car
at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Eour persons were
killed and eight seriously injured with
out warning or chance to escape this
morning by a collision between a
crowded street car and locomotive at
a grade crossing at Forty-seventh street
and Stewart avenue
The accident happened when the
street car traffic was ct its heaviest and
the cars were crowded to the doorways
with people standing and sitting. Car
No ZIG was going east on Forty-sev-
enth street to State street, where it was
to be hitched onto a grip car which
was to bring it to the business center
of the city. AS itapproached the tracks
of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chi
cago Railway Co. at the junction of
Forty-seventh street and Stewart ave-
nue. an engine belonging to that COM
pany came backing down the tracks to-
ward the crossing at the rate of about
fifteen miles an hour, the railway peo-
pie say.
For some reason the occupants of the
engine cab did not see the car approach
ing the crossing, and on account of the
heavy coating of frost on the windows
of the car the passengers did not see
the engine bearing down upon them.
in an instant the engine struck the car
and passed on, leaving trail of dead
and injured people.
The car was dragged for distance of
about $50 yards, and at every foot of
the distance some injury was added to
those inflicted when the engine first
struck. The horses became detached
from the car and ran away uninjured.

ANARCHISTS AT WORK.

Paris Alarmed BY an Explosion at the
Police ONCE Ravachors Friends at
Work.
PARIS, Dec. s0.-An explosion caused
by anarchists occurred at 1:30 o'clock
this morning in the hall leading to the
suite on the first story of the prefecture
of police. No one was injured. but
windows were broken, wood work dam
aged and part of the ceiling brought
down.
The police at once attributed the af-
fair to anarchists, holding that the ex-
! plosion had something to do with the
extradition and approaching trial of
Francois, the anarchist leader accused
of connection with the Cafe Very ex-
plosion.
An investigation of the premises by
experts confirmed the suspicious of the
police, the experts declaring that the
affair was undoubtedly the work of an
bomb heavily charged with chlorate
powder.
The result of the investigation caused
considerable excitement in official cir
cles, where it is believed that the an
archists, taking advantage of the con-
fusion attendant upon the revelations
of the Panama scandal, have started to
inaugurate a reign of terror similar to
that which prevailed when Ravachol
and his colleagues caused the explosion
here, when many of the wealthy resi-
dents of the city hastily packed their
household effects and took refuge in
the country. The best detectives in
Paris have been detailed on the case
and arrests are sure to follow.
An anarchist is reported as saying:
''Ah, you thought we were crushed.
but we have enough dynamite to blow
up all the capitalists. The police have
been running after Francois as if he
was the only man capable of setting
fire to a bomb, but you will find out
differently. We shall show the bour-
geoise that if we can remain quiet for a
time we are not disarmed So long as
human beings die from hunger beside
those that die from indigestion, the
former will revenge themselves by
means in their power"

Pension Checks Stolen From the ONCE ar
Topeka.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 29.-One day last
week man presented himself at the
counter of a bank in Holton and asked
for the money on two checks for S4. 600,
bearing the signature of Bernard KEEL
ley, United States pension agent at To
peka. The cashier recognized the sig
nature genuine, but the amounts
were SO large. for pension checks that
he was suspicious that all was not
right He managed, however, by some
way to retain possession of the checks
and as soon as the man had left, tele-
graphed to Topeka asking Mr.. Kelley
If he had issued them.
Mr. Kelley promptly wired the cashier
to hold the checks and then he began
an investigation. 1t is his practice,
having over 100, 600 checks to sign every
quarter, to sign them in blank in adj
vance. Referring to his check book he
discovered that five signed checks were
missing. He at once suspected an en-
ploye of the Office and in an hour he
had forced the man to return the three
checks which he had not disposed of.
Mr.. Kelly declines to give any partic-
ulars of the theft until he has completed
his arrangements for the arrest of all
the parties in the steal The man who
took the checks is not in the office at
present, but Mr.. Kelley says he can be
had at any time.

pushing every clew to discovery. The

a nephew of Messrs. Creswell and
