ANOTHER TERRIBLE WRECK
TWENTY-EIGHT HAVE DIED.
Worst Wreck In Pennsylvania Very
Large Number Manufacturers Is A
Mystery-Many Prominent Men in it
Only One Woman Killed.

Reading, Pa, May lathe wreck
which occurred on the Philadelphia q
Reading, six miles south OF here, was
probably the worst that has ever occurred
in this state. Twenty-eight dead and so
injured, some SO badly that they may not
recover, is the awful result of the acct
dent. The cause of the disaster is still
involved in mystery and officials of the
road are investigating in order to place
the blame. The man in the signal tower
at Exeter station claims to have had the
signals properly displayed.
In statement today Superintendent
Swigard of the Reading Railway said the
prime cause of the accident was a block
of freight cars on the track which were
taking siding at Birdsboro and which
compelled the express to stop at Exeter.
1t is not now known yet whether sig
nal man was sent back to notify the spe-
cial or second section.
Many prominent men were passengers
on the forward train, among them Sena-
tor Penrose, Colonel Henry d. Paxon of
Philadelphia, General John w. Schall Of
Norristown and Colonel George Schall,
the generals brother, who was killed. On
the second train were some 20 veterans
of Hartranft's Fifty-frst regiment, which
he commanded during the civil war and
company of the Seventh Pennsylvania
infantry, National Guard, few OF whom
were injured.
"A strange feature of the disaster was
the fact that not one woman was killed
and only one was injured. Norristown
is in mourning, as the greater number of
dead and injured were residents of that
place.
In the afternoon Coroner w. III. Roth
ermel empanelled a jury and visiting the
different morgues they viewed the bodies.
The jury adjourned to assemble at the
call of the coroner.
When asked when he would hold the
inquest Coroner Rothelmel replied that
he thought it would be Tuesday afternoon,
but could not state definitely. They left
Reading On a special train at l p. m. and
viewed the scene of the wTek.
Superintendent Wilson of the main line
when asked if it was not mistake for a
train to back into station, said: 81
think the train should have been left
where it stopped, but l can not speak of
the cause until the matter is thoroughly
investigated"

About July 1.

This is the first formal notice that the

Admiral Dewey permission to return At
once to the United States. He has been
relieved of the obligation of remain ,ng at
Manila until the Philippine COMMISSION

1t is estimated at the navy department
that Dewey will reach the United States
in time for national demonstration on
the Fourth of July next.
The Olympia will not come under 1ul!
steam, but nevertheless she should make
the run to New York IN about 90 days.
That she is to come to New York Is
nearly certain.

Yale Bit the Dust.

New Haven, Conn.,, May I4.-Harvard
won decided victory over Yale in the
annual dual athletic games and as a result
comes INTO permanent possession of the
long-fought-for trophy cup, having won
the games five times to Yales three. Har-
vard Won by superior form. Despite the
heavy track and the Indictment weather
conditions the time on the whole was
good. There were about 1000 spectators
on the bleachers when the games began.
throughout the games showers made ION.

boardman, the young Yale freshman, be.
come remarkable when considered in the
nght OF these conditions. In the 22O-ya d
nat he came down the LIST 25 yards full v
lour yards behind Quintan, the Harvard
crack, but pulled away from the bunch
ana hnlshed six inches to the fore, win
nlng what seemed to be sure race for
