Had a Very Close
Call.

But the Tracks Crossed and
the Golden West Knights
Had to Be Dumped.
LANDED GENTLY IN THE MUD.
It Was Thrilling Ride While 1t
Lasted and the Templars We're
Unconscious of Danger.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Aug. "a
Golden Gate Commandery's speedy special
made a very close call this morning on
spreading sensational story over the
country. 1t had been raining in torrents
since long west of Chicago. 1t cost some
time to get in and out of the yards OF that
big CITY, as. it generally does for special
trains having no schedule time. The train
was two hours behind time, with both
Chautauqua and Niagara Falls on the pro-
gramme for the days entertainment.
Mansfield Commandery had come to Kent
with brass band, and were, kept waiting
at that station with breakfast prepared
until the middle of the forenoon. 1t was
royal reception when the train did get in,
however, and the band was kept playing
during the hasty breakfast.
With a Golden Gate cheer the train
started away, in such hurry that it had
to be stopped again out of the station to
allow couple of Knights who had fingered
over their meal to overtake it. The engi-
neer was then instructed to ''let her go"
and make up what time he could before
reaching Chautauqua.
For stretch of several miles west of
Greenville, Pa, the tracks OF the Erie and
the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago
parallel each other, and at the end of that
several miles they cross.
Now it so happened that as the Golden
Gate special struck into this stretch of
straight and level track, travelling forty
miles an hour, a passenger train on the
other road swung into it, also Immediately
abreast and less than stones throw away.
There was little defiant scream from the
Golden Gate engine, the challenge was
promptly answered and the Knights and
the passengers on the other train were in
stantly cheering excitedly at each other,
for race was on. The P. f. w. and G.
was a good goer itself, and for a few min
utes the engines of the two trains did not
change, the excitement, however, increas.
ing Then the Golden Gate began to show
the stuff she was made Of creeping away
from her. rival in fine form, the Sir knights
swinging their caps from the windows with
their familiar cheer.
They did not know that the tracks of the
racers crossed Just below. The high rate
of speed was kept up too long. 1t was

FIERCE PANIC ENsUED.
Six of the Eight Hundred Pas
sengers VIII Die From
Wounds.
MET IN A NARROW CHANNEL.
A Jlbboom Cut Through the Steam
boats Side Like Huge
Knife.

TOLEDO, ONO, Aug. 24.-Six persons
were injured, two probably fatally, in
collision in Maumee Bay, six miles from
here, tonight between the schooner Made
| line T. Downing and the steel passenger
steamer City of Toledo.
Following is a list of the injured: Mrs.
]. l.. Miller of Bucyrus, Ohio, hurt inter-
nally; Mrs. John Sanderson of Ada, Ohio,
arm and leg broken and hurt internally;
| Miss Jessie Jackson of Ada, hurt internally;
Miss Annie Zimmerman of Ada, arm broken
and slight fracture of the skull; Miss Grace
| Garwood of Ada, head cut and teeth
knocked out; Miss Nellie Garwood, head
cut and arm fractured. Mrs. Miller and
Mrs. Sanderson it is thought will not
recover.
| The City of Toledo was bound in from
| Put-in-Bay with 800 passengers on board,
| the majority of whom had come up from
Ada this morning and taken the boat
here. The Downing was proceeding out
with coal for Buffalo in tow of tug.
| The channel where the collision occurred
is quite narrow and it is stated by Captain
McNelly of the City of Toledo that he gave
the Downing all the room he possibly
could as the two boats were about to pass.
The tug evidently had poor control of the
schooner, for as the City OF Toledo came
| alongside the Downing she veered over on
the steamers port bow and her jibboom
cut through the steamers upper works like
huge knife.
The heavy woodwork collapsed and
came tumbling down on those passengers
who were forward on the port side, and
among whom were the six ladies named.
Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Sanderson were
caught by the Downing's iibboom and
crushed against the steamers deck fit
tings.
Excitement Bordering on panic pre-
vailed on the steamer and a rush was made
for the Hfe-preservers. Captain McNelly
reversed his engines and when the steamer
backed off, without the schooner hitting
her hull, it was seen that the worst of the
danger was passed. The Downing contin-
| ued on out in tow of the tug and escaped
uniniured.
The City of Toledo signaled for assist
ance, and was brought up to the city at IL
o'clock tonight.
The amount of damage done to her can
not be estimated, but it will probably cost
SIT, 900 to repair her.
The injured ladies were taken to the
hospital, with the exception of the Misses
Garwood, who recovered sufficiently to
leave for their homes.
A Mrs. Kammerer of Cleveland had
narrow escape, the schooner's jibboom
tearing her hat off.
