PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 20.-A south
bound accommodation train on the Chest
nut Hill branch of the Philadelphia ana
Reading railroad ran into a I"o-hoIse
carriage containing John Horace
Meacham, aged seventy years, his wiie
and Mrs Harriet Smyth, this morning at
the Eest Washington Lane crossing, IN
Germantown. Mr. Meacham was killed,
as was also Patrick Lacey, aged hIty-
seven years the watchmdn at the cross
ing who seized the horses heads ana
endeaVored 10 back them from the track
Mrs Meacham received a fractured skuli
and died shortly afterward in the Ger
mantown Hospital.
Mrs Smyth was slightly injured.
Both horses were killed outright, ana
the vehicle vas smashed to pieces. II IS
supposed that Mr.. Meacham. who was
driving the team, did not hear the dp-
preaching train and was not aware OF
the danger until he had driven upon the
track. Engineer Morris Lacey states that
he did not see the team until within two
car lengths Of the crossing. He then
saw the horses on the track, with the
watChman, Patrick Lacey. at their heads
and endeavoring TO back them. The engl-
neer blew the whistle and reversed the
locomotive. but the collision could not be
averted. and the watchman and the team
were struck and hurled some DISTANCE
away.
Mr.. Meacham was ~etired business
man, and lived i'm the vicinity. The
watchman had been I'm the employ of the
company about twenty years, and he was
killed within a few feet of his home.

It's sole reliance for conviction lay IN

been invited by Smith and others of the
thirteen accused men to join the party.
Butch McCarVer Is ilhterate and a butcher

When invited he did not agree at once,
but consulted a friend Gus Hoffman, an

Later the Sheriff was allowed to resume
