AN OPEN SWITCH.
1t Caused the Wreck of an Excursion
Train, and Five Lives Lost.

CHICAGO, July 12.-An excursion
an open switch at Altenhem, a suburb
ten miles west of this city, this evening,
killing five people and injuring about
twenty. The names of the dead are:
Charles aSamuels, Chicago; Frederick
Keitel, Chicago Miss Mary Arnold, Chi
cago; and Miss Hoblt. Chicago.
The injured: Mrs. Fagin, Chicago,
right leg broken; Edward Kelly, Chi
cago, left leg broken; l.. e. Alden, left
arm broken: J. H. Hulrer, conductor of
the train, badly bruised; Peter Connor,
injured internally; Fred Gravel, badly
bruised and internal injuries.
Ten or fifteen others were injured, but
were taken away in carriages, patrol
wagons and other conveyances before
their names could be learned.
The train consisted of thirteen coaches
and was returning from Schiller Park,
where the Graded Assessment Club a
lodge of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen, had given a picnic. The
train was coming down a grade ap-
preaching Altenheim Station, and the
speed was SO great that the engineer
could not stop in time to avert the
wreck
Standing on the siding were a switch
engine and an unloaded passenger train
waiting for the excursion to pass. When
the heavily laden picnic train struck the
engine and train the baggage car was
telescoped by the next coach. Those who
met death We're riding in the baggage
car, as no seats were to be had in the
coaches.
1t is not known who is guilty of leav-
ing the switch open, but pending an in
vestigation the police arrested Con-
ductor Hulter, James Grant and William
Dolan, the crew of the excursion train
and the crew of the side tracked passen-
ger train.

operations and shooting practice with

would be of great stragetio value If
Germany designed to strike at France
through Belgium, but there is not the
slightest sign of an intention on the
part of Germany to create a stronghold
there and the indignant protests of the
French and Belgian press have been

Incendiary Fire in Galveston.

GALVESTON (Tex.), July 12.-There
was another disastrous fire on the wharf
here to-day and property valued at
S150.0O0 was destroyed. The fire was of
incendiary origin. Owing to this dis
covery it is believed the S2OO,0OO wharf
fire of ten days ago was also incen-
diary origin. The property destroyed to-
day was a shed owned by the Morgan
Steamship Company which contained
100000 yards Of jute bagging.

ALEXANDRIA. VA. WEDNESDAY EVENING" JUNE 10. l8
THE JOKE DIDN'T WORK.

A dispatch from Jacksonville, Ind,
says: There arrived at the prison,
south, from Evansville last January a
handsome man, about thirty years Of
age, to serve one year for petty theft.
He was registered as Thomas Drew.
and, for all that is known, it is his real
name, but the developments Saturday
indicate that it may be assumed.
Lawyers Dinwiddie, of Jonesville,
Wis, and Merrill. of the firm of Smith,
Low and Merrill, of Chicago, visited
the prisoner, and from them was learn
ed remarkable story concerning
Drew. According TO their version,
Dew is wealthy man, and owns q
fine business block in Chicago. Din
widdie represents the young mans
father, and Merrill was Drew's attor-
ney in Chicago. They are trying to get
the prisoners business affairs in such
shape as will enable them to prevent
gross losses during his confinement.
While in Indiana they will also seek to
procure pardon for him.
The attorneys were reticent about
their clients affairs, but Drew's incar-
ceration in prison was due wholly TO
his conduct when arraigped in court.
He entered a plea of guilty, and the
judge imposed a sentence of thirty days
in Jail. Drew laughed and remarked {:
Judge, that is nothing. can stand
on my head for thirty days" "All
right" cheerfully responded the judge,
"I'll change the sentence to one year in
prison, south. When you get tired OF
standing on your head try your feet"
Drew never mentioned to any of the
prison officials the fact that he was q
man of means, but the facts were learn
ed from his correspondence and from
the visiting attorneys.

WOMAN TOO CUTE FOR BULL.-Har-
ry Scudder, well-known farmer, liv-
ing at Nevius' Mills, Hunterdon coun-
ty, N. ] was crossing field near his
home, where bull was grazing, yes
terday. The bull attacked him and
tossed him about in frightful manner
and then held him upon the ground
between his horns. Scudder's cries
were heard by his wife. She grabbed
piece of red calico and ran out to the
field. She waved the calico frantically
over the fence, and the animal then left
his victim and tried in vain to break
the fence down to reach Mrs Scudder.
Scudder succeeded in escaping. He
was severely cut and bruised, but not
dangerously hurt.
