DEATH ATA CROSSING.
Fatal Railroad Wreck in New York
Two Killed, Six Injured

New York, Aug. A special to the
Herald from Middletown, N. Y, says:
Two children killed and six injured,
several probably fatally is the record
of an accident which occurred on the
New York, Ontario & Western railroad
just north of Rockland, Sullivan coun-
ty.
A combined observation car and 10

general superintendent and Chas. H.
Hopkins, the superintendent of the
Southern division of the road, struck a
wagon containing John Maulick and his
wife and six children. The accident oc-

to the rocky bed of the Willowemoo
river One of the children was instant
Iy killed, another died soon after the
accident and other members of the fam
lily are not expected to survive.
The crossing IS one of the most dan
gerous on the line of the road. The
tracks just before crossing the highway
descend a steep grade and a sharp
curve in the railroad renders it fnpossi-
BILE to see the approach of train until
it is near the crossing.

SAGE'S FAMILY HARD LUCK
Young Daughter Accidentally Shot
by a Neighbor Woman.

Joliet, Ill. Aug. 4.-The family of Eli

that gain so much prominence last
winter by receiving a $50 loan from his
uncle, Russell Sage, the New York mil
Honaire, and giving a mortgage on his
small house, has met misfortune twice
since that famous loan was paid.
About two months ago EIizur's eldest
son died in the VIII county poor farm
being placed there about a month be-
fore his death so Elizur could save
money to meet the mortgage when it
came due.
Another chapter was added to the
story of misfortune Saturday afternoon
when Elizur's 10-year-old daughter
Esther was accidentally shot and badly
injured by Mrs. Susan Frether, a neigh
Dor of the Sages.

San Francisco. Aug. 4.-Harold Mar

STRONGEST IN THE WORLD
Powerful Rejecting Telescope to Be
Made for Yerkes Observatory.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-The Yerkes observ-
atory. at Williams Bay, Wis, has re-
ceived from Paris a consignment of
glasses of various sizes for lenses and
reflectOrs. Among these is one which
is undoubtedly the finest piece of glass
for the purpose ever brought into this
country. 1t is five feet in diameter,
eight inches thick and weighs a ton 1t
is of the finest crown glass and rings
clear when struck with e open hand.
1t is designed to make nth this glass
what will be the most powerful reflect
ing telescope in the world. G. Willis
Ritchey, the optician of the observatory
has the work in charge. He is complet-
ing a grinding machine with which to
work the glass down to the proper
shape. 1t will be ground so as to make
an immense concave mirror The
mounting for the telescope will also be
made at the observatory. Mr.. Ritchey
has recently completed a 24-inch re-
f1ecting telescope, which it is designed
to mount on the southeast tower.
A rejecting telescope, no matter how
large, does not compare with a refrac-
tor as to power and clearness of defini-
ton, but for certain special purposes is
better to work with. It is not expected
that the new five foot reflector will in
any way rival the 40 inch refractor,
which will doubtless be the most pow
erful telescope in the world.

that was an old day coach that several
years prior to the time of the Pioneer
was provided with berths and used as
a railway sleeping car. This car had no
upper berths, but simple bed frames for
mattresses were constructed in the pla-

in this way it was used as a sleeper and
was not convertible into a day coach,
like the Pullman sleeper.

OLDEST PULLMAN SLEEPER.
Passed Through Topeka Yesterday on
the Union Pacific

The Union Pacific train which passed
through Topeka yesterday included a
Pullman sleeping car which excited
considerable interest.
Pioneer" the name of this car, bears
the distinction of being the first Pull
man sleeping car ever built. and not
withstanding the "a years of its exist
ence, in which time it has been dragged
to almost every point in the United
States, besides travelling extensively in
Canada and Mexico, Pioneer" looks as
we'll and hearty as a great many of the
more modern sleeping cars. casual
glance at Pioneer reveals nothing to
attract attention. For several weeks
the east bound trains have had attach
ed to them one or more empty Pull
mans, commonly called ''deadheads.T
These cars are being returned from
the coast, where they went loaded down
with Christian Endeavor excursionists.
a large number of these excursionists
returned east over the Northern and
Southern routes, and left the Pullrnans
that carried them to the coast with
nothing to do, and they are now being
returned to their respective roads.
To all appearances Pioneer is much
like the usual Pullman sleeper, but Z
closer inspection of the detail of con-
struction will disclose mechanical points
that markedly belong to several de-
cades past. The cushions and a great
many of the wearable parts have been
replaced with modern furnishings but
the hinges; trimmings and the like show
conclusively that Pioneer was not
built yesterday. The most striking
thing about the car is the elaborate
wood work in the ceiling and berths
Nearly all this is solid mahogany, in
laid with variously colored woods the
entire work Indicating that the most
painStaking care was given to the con-
struction of the car. Pioneer is said
to have cost very near $50 00O and it has
10 sleeping sections each containing an
upper and lower berth.
It was built by George NJ. Pullman.
