ALMOST A MIRACLE
A Trolley Car Accident In Which No One w as
Killed

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 31.-A car on
the Second avenue traction line jumped
the track this afternoon and seventeen
passengers aboard were all more or less
hurt, two of them seriously. The day of
miracles has not passed or all would
have been killed.
The seriously injured are: Adam
Bachman and e. L. Kreiger, both resi-
dents of the south side. Bachman' 8
arm is broken in two places and his head
is badly cut and body bruised. Kreigar
is in nearly the same condition. The
other passengers, men, women and chill
dren, We're all bruised and cut, but none
of them seriously. The car with its load
left Thirty-fourth street at about s
o'clock for Calhoun Park, where a con-
cert was to be given. On approaching
Six Mile ferry Bachman and Kreiger
say the speed was that of railroad
train. Suddenly the car took a flying
leap and after turning completely over
landed at the bottom of the ditch, twelve
feet below, with the wheels in the air.
The struggling passengers jammed in
heap under the wreckage were scream
ing and fighting for release. They were
finally extricated and taken to their
homes. Some We're more scared than
hurt. but all bruised and the worse for
the shaking up. The car is complete
wreck.

'The president has refused to inform
congress of the attitude of the execu-
tive department as to the conviction and
sentence of death of our citizens cap
tured on the Competitor. That is not
a negotiation. No new treaty is needed
to cover our rights on that subject. 1t
Is an accomplished. fact, and the Amer
leans are In prison under a sentence
insultingly imposed upon them.
THE plea is urged for the delay of fur
ther action by congress that a recogni-
tion of belligerency, morally, will give
rise to new complications, and if we do
anything it Is wiser to recognize the in
dependence of Cuba and leave it to Spain
TO declare war for that course, if she re-
sents such course. That ground is
taken with no exception of it's result
ing in such recognition. 1t is not neces-
sary that we should have war with
Spain in order to give our citizens the
shelter of the law of nations in respect Of
a public war that already exists In
Cuba.
1T is our own people and not the
Cubans that we should protect, and this
plain duty relates to the existing state of
facts and not the conditions that may
exist, If we should hereafter be engaged
in war with Spain.'
