in which thirty five 20 forty lost their
lives and scores are manned. An east
bound special train, loaded with return

lision head-on with a west-bound passen
ger, causing a disastrous smash-up. The
wreck took fire, and many of the woun :
ded pinned beneath the broken tlmbers
and twisted iron were burned to death.
The res possibility for the accident is said
to rest with Conductor Scott aud En-
glneer Wooley, of the east-bouDd train,
who disobeyed orders by not stopping at
Nichols to let the west-bOund pass.

a good game and an exciting one, but

In the Justice Court.

John Ringleherry. James Cummings
and Daniel Henry. who were arrested
on Il charge Of petit larceny were ar
raigned before Justice Glib this morn
ing. and discharged. The only testi-
mony to connect any of the three with
the theft of the shoes. was that Henry
had them under the table in the Bon
Ton restaurant. moving them around
with his feet. All three denied any
knowledge of them. and in view Of the
fact that Henry was only Is years old
the court gave him the-benetit Of the
doubt. and ordered his discharge. while
the others were likewise released. there
being nothing against them.

after giving him some excellent ad ice,

deserved popularit! in this community
