Killed in "A Wreck.

A serious wreck occurred on the Le-
high Valley road at Wikes-Barre on
Thursday, demolishing an engine and
five cars, killing one man, fatally iniur-
ing another and seriously hurting a
third. The dead man is James S. Gar
man, 25 years Old unmarried. Wallace
Reed, the fireman, jumped from the
train and received internal injuries
which the physicians think will prove
fatal and Grant Hudson, brakeman,
was very badly cut and bruised, also by
jumping
The train was fast freight, running
from Mauch Chunk to Coxton. When
passing through the upper portion of
the city the driving rod on the engine
broke while the train was running about
fifteen miles an hour, and threw the
engine off the track. The locomotive
plowed oven the old track, leaving her
tender on the main track with the
freight, which piled up over the three
tracks smashing six freight cars COM
pleteiy and damaging others.
James Garman, who was taking a free
ride on the front part of the train, was
caught among the wrecked cars and his
skull was crushed to a jelly between two
bumpers. The fireman, Wallace Reed,
jumped and was hurled with great force
on the opposite track and was uncon-
scious when picked up. Hudson, the
head brakeman, was hurled by the
shock over the front cars and fell on the
tender Of the engine, being seriously but
not fatally injured
Weaver, the engineer, stuck to his
post and when the rod broke and the
train jumped the track he reversed the
lever and climbed out on the boiler,
where he remained until the engine
stopped, as the rod was battering the
floor of his side of the cab

REAR END COLLISION.


When d, S. q S. engine No. 2 left
Perth Amboy early Saturday morning it
had behind it fifty of the company $
empty gondolas and caboose. At Bound
Brook stop was made at 3 a. IN. for
water. A heavy fog prevailed at the
time and Conductor William Slattery
sent Flagman Hall out to protect the
train and warn others which might be
coming behind. No. had about finish
ed taking water and Engineman Purcell
and Fireman Smith were ready to start
out when train was heard coming at a
high rate of speed. As the flagman was
still out they did not think of danger,
but soon the headlight of Lehigh Valley
engine No. 3l4 loomed up through the
fog behind them with train of freight
cars Brakeman McFadden was stand
ing on the rear end of the caboose and
jumped just before the engine crashed
into the caboose.
The Lehigh Valley engine must have
been running rapidly, as it demolished
the caboose and three gondolas and com
pletely wrecked itself. Engineer Nc
Keown, of 3l4, stuck to his post and
tried his best to stop the train, but its
momentum was so great that its speed
was not lessened much when the coils
sion occurred. The engineer was found
under the D. S. Il S. cars with his left
leg broken in two places. He also sus-
tanned severe bruises about the shoulders
and body, and was injured internally.
1t was reported last night that he was
dying at his residence in Plainfeld, n. J.

Church Affairs still Unsettled.

Reports state that the new denomina-
ton organized among the Poles of this
vicinity is not as great a success as its
leaders expected. 1t is said that several
members Of the congregation have re-
turned to the Roman Catholic faith
again. The principle cause that led to
the establishment of the Polish Catholic
Church was their inability to get new
pastor in place of Rev. Mazotas, against
whom they entertained strong obiec-
tions. Bishop O'Hara, it is said, has
given permission to the Polish priest of
Hazleton to hold services for his country
men in st. Johns Slavsh church. and
this has brought several of the seceders
back again.
The promoters of the Polish Catholic
Church claim that very few have re-
turned TO the Roman Catholic Church.
However, the services held by them
yesterday in the church recently pur-
chased at South Heberton were not at
tended by as many as on the Sunday
