IGNORANCE
WAS BLISS.
Passengers Unaware of the Narrow
Escape They Had.
TRAIN STRUCK A BOULDER.
The Cars Were Stopped But Remained
on the Track and Escaped Collision
With Another Train.

Few people who were passengers on the
Pennsylvania railroad train that left
Pottsville at 440 p. m. yesterday for Shen-
andoah realized the narrow pc from
disaster their train had during the trip.
Not more than half dozen of them knew
the danger
As the train rounded a sharp curve a
little north of Wetherill junction the
engineer observed resting on the upper
rail of the track on which he was running
a large piece of rock that had rolled down
from the mountain side. The discovery
was so sudden the engineer did not have
ii ne to stop the train, but he reduced the
speed considerably. The engine struck
the rock with great force and showed il
back against the embankment
The shock brought the train to q
halt and the passengers were
pretty we'll shaken up, but most oi
them thought the sudden stop had been
caused by some signal Almost imm edi.
ately after the collision a coal train

shat had the boulder fallen to the
middle of she passenger trains
track nothing could have prevented a
disaster, as in such an event the engine
could not have thrown the boulder off and
piled up on both tracks, and the next
moment the south.bound train would
have plunged into the wreck.

DEATH OF CHIEF BUNN.-James
Bum, chief of the Shinnecock Indians,
is dead. He died on the reservation
among the Shinnecock Hills, L. l., with
his face toward the rising sun. He was
probably the only full blooded repre-
Sentative of his tribe. With his death
the noble race of the Shinnecock ends.
There are number of supposed red men
living on the reservation, but they are
half breeds, and cannot lay claim to
being real wild men. The chief was
about eighty-five years old. Until few
years ago he was tall and straight, but
disease laid low his stalwart frame.
Bum lost his vigor and oflate had been
content to counsel the young men Of
the tribe. With the death of the ancient
warrior che question as to who will
succeed him and be chief will bother
the Indians. While the tribe are amen
able to the white mans laws, the In
dians always like to settle their own
differences by appealing to the chief.
Some wise brave will have to take the
old mans place.

CONFESSION OF A MURDEREss.-A
special from Barbourville, KY, says:
Rosa Gordon, who murdered the two
women near Corbin, KY. in confess
sion duplicates three men, who, she
claims, were at her house at the time
of her crime, and held Mary Souther-
land and Melizza Brown, her victims,
while she disemboweled them. War
rants have been issued for the arrest OF
the alleged accomplices, aud the three
will likely be brought Louisville to-
day. Much excitement prevails over
the affair. A representative of a news
paper secured short talk with the
prisoner, in which she spoke of neces.
sary selfdefense. She is small, bright
appearing girl about nineteen, with
keen brown eyes and short curly brown
hair, thickly clustered about her head.
When asked concerning the crime, she
very composedly told the whole story,
and how it originated over some collars
at the house where she lived. Miss
Gordon expresses herself ss very sorry
for the occurrence, but showed no signs
of fear. The grand jury will at once
consider her case, and final trial will
follow as soon as the court can reach an
indictment.

A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is confounded by many persons
with severe attack of catarrh, which in some
respects resembles the former. The individ-
uals suffer severely with pain about the fore
head, eyes and ears with soreness in throat
and stoppage of the nasal passages, and in
fact, are incapacitated for work of any kind
1or days at 8 time. These are catarrhal suf.
ferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used with
the best results in such cases. The remedy
will give instant relief.
