Evansville, Pa, March sO-Three
persons were instantly killed, two fat
ally injured and ten others slightly
hurt on the Lehigh Traction company
road by jumping from a runaway troll
ley car on the mountain near here.
The dead are:
Mrs. Watkin Williams, of Hazleton.
Mrs. John E. Farley. of Beaver
Meadow, and her S-year-old son.
Fatally injured:
Mrs. James Evans. of Coterain.
Mrs. John Weir. of Beaver Meadow.
Seriously wounded:
Watkin Williams. husband Of the
woman who was killed.
Maggie Herrity, of Beaver Meadow.
Three children of Mrs Evans.
Hannah Somers, Of Beaver Meadow.
Morris Hughes. of Wilkesbarre.
All of the other persons who sus-
tanned injuries were able to walk
home.
The accident was the worst in the
history of the trolley roads in this
vicinity and was due in part to a PAN
ic among the passengers. who crowded
about the conductor and gripman of
the unmanageable car. The disaster
occurred on car No. 20. AS it passed
onto the grade leading down the
mountain, Grfpman Reitz applied the
brake. but the chain snapped. He then
threw the safety lever. This refused
to work, and the terrified motorman
sprang to the reverse brake, hoping
to control the car by the current. The
actions of the man and the speed of
the car had by this time alarmed the
passengers. Failing to control the
car, he shouted to Conductor Socks to
apply the rear brake.
His shouts caused a panic, and the
passengers made a rush for the plat
form. The car was going down the
mountain at a mile minute
Conductor Socks appealed TO the pas
sengers to go back, so he might apply
the brake, but was not needed.
MIR. Jackman, OF Hazleton, and two
other men endeavOred to keep the
women from throwing themselves from
the car onto the rocks, but were unable
to do so. Mrs. Williams was the first
to jump. Her body struck a post,
breaking her back and causing instant
death. Mrs. Early next flung herself
off and was dashed to death. She tried
to save her boy, but he shared the
same fate. The remaining passengers,
with one exception, then jumped. Mrs
Evans was the only person to remain
in the car with the exception of the
motorman and conductor. The car kept
the track until the crossing at the foot
of the incline was reached. Here it
jumped the track and crashed into a
telegraph pole. The front of the car
was stove in and a piece OF board PEN
etrated Mrs. Evans side. The screams
of the frantic passengers as the car
rushed down the mountain could be
heard half a mile. The residents of
this part FASTENED to the scene of the
accident and did all.they could to re-
lieve the suferings. Had the passen-
gers remained in the car the accident
could have been averted, as the rear
brake would have held the car and
prevented the runaway. There are six
attachments on each car provided for
such an emergency, but the conductor
was wedsed 50 closely against the
dasher by the panic-stricken women
that he was unable to move his arms
till the car had gotten beyond control.
The motorman and conductor were but
slightly injured.

CAUSED COMMENT.
GERMANY EXCITED OVER RECENT
HAPPENINGS.
Most of the German People DisnD-
prove of the ReichstaS's Decision
Emperor the Recipient of POpu-
lar OyatiOns.

Berlin. March SO.-[Copyrghted. 1895.
by the Associated Press. 1.-The refusal of
the majority of the reichstag to celebrate
Prince Bismarck's birthday, Emperor
Williams bitter comment thereon and the
scenes which occurred at Friedricshruhe
during the past week have altogether
put the Germans in a feyerish condition,
and public opinion is expressed much
more generally and outspoken than custO-
mary.
The Conservative and National Liberal
press vigorously denounce the reichstag
majority, one paper in Leipsic going 10
the extent of saying that ''They ought to
be buried like so much carbon
so lar as the spontaneous utterances Of
popular feeling are concerned, the vast
majority of the German. people certainly
disapprove of the reichstag's decision.
A significant sign of this is the fact that
throughout the week. whenever the EN-
peror appeared publicly, both III Berlin
and elsewhere, he was the recipient of
popular ovations. Thousands of people
lined Inter den Linden on Monday and
cheered him, and this has been repeated
every day since. On the other hand the
Centr1st, Radical and Socialist press have
taken the emperor to task in uneouivocal
language for his telegram to Prince Bis
niarck and because of sundry passages
m his address at Friedrichsruhe

THE TAYLORS TALK.
BOTH BROTHERS WERE ON THE
STAND YESTERDAY.
They Ran Away Because They Were
Afraid Their Enemies Would Stir
Up n Feeling Against Them.

Carrollton, Mo, March 30.-In the
Taylor murder trial today the defense
continued the introduction of testi-
mony to discredit witnesses for the
state and prove an alibi for both the
Taylor brothers.
Mrs. William P. Taylor, wife of one
of the prisoners, testified that on the
night of the murder, George Taylor
ate supper at her house and left there
for home after dark. Her husband.
William P, she testified, had gone to
the bank, of which he was cashier. af-
ter supper, and returned at 10 o'clock
On cross-exanlination her testimony
could not be shaken.
William p and George Taylor, the
prisoners, went on the stand this af-
ternoon and testified in their own be-
half They gave as an explanation
for their disappearance as soon as the
murder was discovered, that they
feared their enemies would stir up ex-
cftement against them. and they were
in fear of lynching. The defense rest
ed and the state presented two more
witnesses in rebuttal. 1t is probable
the case will go to the jury tomorrow.
