TRIPLE COLLISION.
twenty-five Passengers Injured, Five
Fatally.

AWenty-uVe Passengers fnJureu, rive
Fatally.
A wreck on the Pittsburg & Wastern
railway, at Valencia, twenty-five miles
OF Pittsburg, Pa, at noon Mon lay,
resulted in the destruction of three
passenger coaches, eighteen freight
cars and the injury of twenty-five pas
sengers, FIVE Of whom will probably
die.
The injured were all taken to the
Allegheny general hospital in Pitts
burgh, where every attention possible
was given them. The serious cases are
still there, while the others were either
removed to their homes in Allegheny
or continued on their journey. The
wreck was peculiar one and involved
three trains-the local freight No. 81,
the through freight No. %, and the
east bound passenger train No. IA,
from Chicago. The local was standing
at Valencia station, unloading freight,
when the through freight came to the
top Of the grade just east of Valencia.
The engineer, who was on the outlook
OF No. Is, put on the air brakes but
they refused to work and his train
went crashing into the local. just
at the time the two freights
collided. the passenger train came
along on the east-bound> track and
was struck by the freight cars which
we're defailed at that moment The
engine and baggage car of the psssen-
ger train got through safely aud broke
away from the balance OF the train.
The first passenger coach. in which
were great many ladies, was crushed
by carload Of oil-well tubing. The
tubing was thrown with terrific force
in every direction, causing most of the
wounds received by the passengers.
The wreckage was piled up twenty-five
or thirty feet high in places. The
railroad people say the whole trouble
was caused by the failure of the air
brakes to work while the through
freight was on the hill.

BATTLES o. the Australians With the De-

The New South Wales government,

of sl25.00o to any person or persons
who could suggest an efficient method
of getting rid OF the rabbit: hut, al
though this liberal reward led to The
receipt Of no fewer than 2.G0o 1chemes
from all parts of the world, nbne of
them was regarded as satisfactory. and
the offer was withdrawn.
The final outcome OF royal commits
sions, of intercolonial conferences and
of the testing Of every practical method
Of determination, IS that the most effec-
tual method Of dealing with the evil is
found to be the construction Of rabbit
proof netting. by means Of which the
animals can be kept from acres not
yet infested, can be shut on from food
suppl 81 and can be more effectually
dealt with locally.
The length of some Of these fences
Is enormous. There is one starting at
Barringun, on the Queensland border,
and following the Main. Trunk line
from Bourke to Corowa-a distance Of
S07 miles; and there is another along
the entire western boundary Of New
South Wales-a distance OF 34e miles.
The Queensland government, too, has
erected similar fence along a consid-
cradle portion of the northern bound
airy of New South Wales, but the sur
Eeyor general Of Queensland, in the re-
port already referred to, says that .'thc
rabbits must have come through the
fence in mobs and droves of innumer-
able multltudes at some time" and
thus have established themselves in
Queensland as well.
This, Of course, is the weak point in
regard to fences, which are liable to
break down in places, more especially
In times of food and where they
cross over creeks. while keeping OF
constant supervision over the fences.
SO that immediate repairs can be done
when openings appear, is quite imprac-
eicable where the distances are so.
great. In many Instances countless
thousands of rabbits have been seen on
one side Of fence dead or dying of
starvation, after eating all the avail
able food supplies, and leaping up at
the fence in their attempts to surmount
IL. One can imagine how they would
rrsh through in the event Of any open
ing appearing, and how a single break
in the fence might be the doom Of q
country not previously infested.

When Courmatine was awakened by the

he rushed to the attic and taking little
boy and girl on either arm, ran down the
stairs, and after leaving the children in
safety fastened back TO save the Others.

succeeded in getting his other children In

smoke, aud rolled down into the kitchen
below. and there the two bodies of the
children we're found after the lire was ex-
tinguished.
The Dubics household did not awaken
till the last, and then ii was too late for
the father to reach the attic for his child
rem. The two Cour uatine children were
suffocated while the bodies of the other
three were badly burned. The damage to
the property will not exceed $1,000.
The attic above wes partilloned off into
several rooms used by the children. The
fire was first discovered by Frank Rob-
erts. He was awakened by the smoke and
cracking noise coming from his
kitchen. He pulled on his clothing, and
instead of awakening the people above
rushed for the enigne house, shouting
fire. He rang the bell at the engine
house, gave the general alarm and rushed
back to the house.

A further hearing was had this morning

TO set aside two execution sales OF the
property of Ellen Cosgrove, deceased,
the compiRinants claiming that at the
time they were made Miss Cosgrove was
not of sound mind.
At the previous hearing considerable
testimony was introduced to show that
the deceased had not been for a long
time previous to the sale in sound mind.
Among these witnesses were DIR. KeeDe
OF the State institute for the insane, who
swore that Miss Cosgrove had not been in
good mental condition for over 80 years.
Today a number of witnesses were ex-
amined in behalf of the respondents TO
show that Miss Cosgrove had done house.
work until a very short time before she
was taken to the State institutions at
Cranston and appeared very rational.
Deputy Sheriff ham swore that every
thing done by him in connection with
the sale of the property had been in full
accord with the statutes and said he had
labored very hard before the execution TO
induce Miss Cosgrove to pay the amount
of the execution but that he could not
get her 10 do SO.
Miss Cosgrove had, Notwithstanding
her mental condition, accumulated con-
siderable worldly goods for she left $1,000
in cash beside the property in dispute,
which is taxed for 5000.

had been produced to show that Miss Co.'S

that she had engaged counsel.
