PITTsBURG, May 27.-Today as the
Baltimore Sc Ohio express No. 9, west
bound. reached the sharp curve at Pine
Grove station, nine miles this side Of
Meyersdale, a terrible wreck occurred I,
in which two men were killed and one
SO severely injured that he will proba-

minutes late at the Sand Patch, and
the engineer, in order to make up lost
time, was running his engine at heI
limit. probably at speed of forty or
forty-fve miles an hour. a huge rock,
weighing about fifty tons, had been
loosenened from above On account Of
the heavy rains Of the past week and
fell squarelY across the the tracks.
Owing to the sharp curve at the scene
of the accident, the engineer could not
see the obstruction until within a few
feet of it, consequently the engine
orashedlnto the obstruction with ter
rifle force, demolishing the engine and
tender and wrecking three baggage
cars. The engineer. William Nichol.

seriously injured, although many were
bruised, and all received a thorough
shaking up. The three express cars
caught fire and were entirely consumed,
the passengers say. within fifteen min

track was torn up, and traffic was de-
layed for six or seven hours. The loss

Than Eighty Millions to Meet

$74, 4,50O,OOO-The Outlook.

$74 900, ,OOO-The Outlook.
WASHINGTON. May 27.-The present
depleted condition of the treasury and
the discouraging outlook for the future
are source of considerable anxiety to
the officials of the treasury department.
Already the gold reserve, which has
been brought up by the last bond issue
to S107, 800, ,S42, has been reduced by ex-
portauons since March 10 to less than
$50, 1000. 900, with no indications that the
foreign demand will cease Until it has
reached much lower point. With the
exception of the gold reserve and, count
ing every available dollar in the vaults
of the treasury, the government today
has less than SS0.O0O,00O with which to
meet its obligations. Nor does the fu-
ture show any signs of encouragement.
On the contrary, the probable deficit of
S6,000,000 for the month of May is likely
to be increased by $4,000, 900 during the
two succeeding months. The closest
calculation that can now be made shows
that the deficit for the fiscal year end
ing June 80 will be approximately s74,-
100000. Close estimates place the
receipts for May at S22, SOC, ,OCO
and the disbursements SOS. SOC. 900.
For June the receipts are likely to be
about 81. 600, 900. with the expenditures
s26, 6,0n0,0 ,00o making the total receipts for
the fiscal year 1921, 500, 749, and the dis
bursements 1865. 757, 1877. While it is
confidently believed that the receipts
for July will increase somewhat, yet it
is much more certain that the disburse-
ments swill increase. A conservative
estimate of the deficit for July is S12.-
10000. that increase beiug accounted
for by the payment of many obligations.
including about S7.50O.O00 in interest
that natures at the beginning of the fis-
cal wear. During June the pensions
payment will amount TO about $40, 5OO,-
600. and during July nearly sl1,S50,O0o.
The exact amount of receipts and ex-
pendltures for the present month and
for the fiscal year to date are as follows:
Receipts for month to date, $50. Ass, ,SSS;
receipts for fiscal year to date, S277, $780,
637; expenditures for month to date,
s26,27l 800: expenditures for fiscal year
to date, 1881. .52S. 1876.

Train Robbers, Too.
They went into the bank several
simes and asked many questions
of the officials about exchange. etc,
and by this means surveyed the bank
premises. A good diagram OF the bank
building was found on the body Of
Bennett, the dead robber A small
compass was also taken of the body"
MIR. Howard says: "on the morning
of the day that the robbery was COM
mitted, the men went to a switch three
miles from Longview for the purpose
OF robbing train. The west and east
bound Texas and Pacific passenger
trains pass each other at this switch,
but the train the robbers intended rob-
bing was several hours late and after
waiting fer It for an hour or two, they
LETT the switch and came to town.
While they were waiting for the train
the men stood on the track with Win
cheaters In their hands. and the train
would doubtless have been looted had
1t not been late"

1926 train today and will so to ClarlSs-

robbers are undoubtedly making for
the Territory and every ferry and cross
ing is well guarded, and II they are
not caught before they cross Red river

The Robbers in sherman.
From the best OF authority IL IL
learned that the four men who left
such bloody marks on the little city Of
I-ongView, came from the Territory
overland In a hack to Longview.
Last Monday night, one week nRo,
n hack containing four men and leading
two horses drove up to and stopped
in front of the Binkley bar w c.
Everheart was sitting in front Of the
hotel and he noticed two Of the men
get out OF the hack and 20 into the
saloon. where they remained for sew
eral minutes. MIR. EverheRrt FMS he
paid no special attention to the men
until one OF the two remaining men
In the hack got out, went to "A telephone
pole and seemed TO be cutting sof,,e-
thing on the pole with his pocket
knife. This excited Mr.. Everhenrts
curiosity, and after the men had come
out of the saloon and all four had
driven away, he examined the pole in
front OF the saloon and found that the
man had cut deep cross in the wood.
Mr.. Everheart told Marshal Blain OF
this the day after II occurred, but moth
ing more was thought OF 1t until It
became known that the men went TO
Longview In hack. This morning
Sheriff Howard saw Mr. Eveiheart and
the description OF the men suited ex-
nctly and there is little doubt but that
the men In the hack were the Long
view bank robbers.
