PHILADELPHIA, May 12.-Frank
Lantel, tower operator in the en-
ploy of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company, stationed at the entrance of
the tunnel under Twenty-fifth street,
just outside of Paramount Park, slept
at his post. AS result a disastrous
rear-end freight collision occurred
early this morning in the tunnel,
causing the death of Engineer George
Loeb and Fireman George Hinchman,
and it is believed five tramps, who
were stealing ride. Fire followed
the wreck, and a dozen or more fire.
men were injured while fighting the
flames, and are now In the hos
pitfalls.
All of the dead are still buried in
the wreckage, and the fire department
has been unable thus far to extinguish
the flames, which are slowly consum-
ing the smashed cars. Lantel has
disappeared, and the police are look
ing for him.
The accident occurred shortly after
midnight. The vicinity of the tunnel
early to-day was the scene of wild
excitement. No one could approach
nearer than within 200 feet of either
opening, owing to the volume of fame
and smoke which issued therefrom.
The fast New York-bound express
freight train of thirty eight cars
reached the tunnel on time, and slowed
down, so that some of the cars could
be shifted. The second section of the
same train, composed of thirty-nine
cars, was due about ten minutes
later.
1t was Towerman Lanters duty to
signal the second section that the first
had stopped In the tunnel This Lantel
did not do, having, It is said, fallen
asleep. The second section approached
the tunnel at a rapid rate Of speed.
and crashed with full force into the
first section. Engineer Loeb and
Fireman Hinchman, of the second sec
ton, were Immediately crushed to
death. and the cars piled in the indis-
criminate heap began to burn. Four
oil cars exploded, adding to the horror
of the situation, and feeding the
flames.

HEROINE JENNIE CREEK.
Indiana Girl to be an Official Guest
at the Paris Exhibition.

MARION, Ind, May PA move
ment has been started in -4arion by
citizens headed by C. H. Bundy, editor
of the Morning News, to send Jennie
Creek, the heroine of Millgrove, to the
Paris Exposition.
The incident which made Miss Creek
famous occurred September 10, 1898
The Chicago and New York limited on
the Panhandle railroad left Chicago
with over 300 passengers. Many of
them were Frenchmen returning home
after the Worlds Fair. When the
train was nearing Millgrove, a small
station a short distance east of Mar
ion, at speed of sixty miles an hour,
the engineer saw small girl stand
ing on the track waving a danger sig
nal. The engineer reversed the en-
CINE and applied the brakes, and when
the train was brought TO a stop a
burning trestle was seen only a few
feet in front of the engine. In the
excitement that followed the little girl
who had tagged the train quietly
walked away across the fields toward
her home.
Soon after the arrival of the French
men in France President Mckinley,
who was then governor of Ohio. re-
ceived a letter asking him to obtain
her address. Governor Mckinley To-
Gated her and notified the French au-
thorities. Soon afterward Miss Creek
received a gold medal and a member
ship to the Legion of Honor of France.
Miss Greek is the youngest member
of the order and is the second Amer
lean ever admitted TO membership.
neeently she received an invitation
from the officers of the Legion of Hon

strictions shall be observed by the
strikers the Metropolitan company has
its fight won. for the strikers hands

that the strikers may prevent the CON-
pany from carrying out It's contract
with the United States government to
transport the city mail carriers TO and

sons from in any manner, directly or

of intimidating or interfering with the
compaRy's employees.
The Injunction even goes further
than this, and enjoins any concerted
action TO cause any act or annoyance
which will assist in stopping ths
operation of the cars or interfering ia
any wise with any employe IN moving

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, May 12.-
The people of this place are mystified
and the more superstitious are alarmed
over series of mysterious fires oc-
curing in the Householder home,
which has been discovered to be on
fire eight times in four days The fam
lily keep close watch on the house
night and day, but every time the
watch is relaxed for few moments
new fire breaks out. The neighbors
are very much frightened and have
Joined in the guard kept over the
house, while the police have been noti-
fed and also have the house under sur
yeillance. Buckets of water are kept
in all parts of the house, ready for
use at moments notice, and every
time the mysterious blazes break forth
they are in new place. Twice they
started in the garnet, once under the
edge of the roof, and once they were
seen eating their way through the
roof. The fifth time fire was found
in a stairway leading to the garnet.
Mrs. Householder, with buckets of
water, had been guarding the garnet
closely for a day and a night, and
had left it less than half an hour be-
fore to get provisions for dinner.
When she returned the stairway was
on fire and lot of clothing hanging
on the walls and had burned. The
clothing had only been hung up a
short while before. The last time the
fire broke out between the bed and
the covers and consumed two bed
spreads before it was extinguished.
The repeated outbreaks of fire and the
mystery attached to them have thor
oughly excited the supersttious peo-
pie, who claim that the fire must be of
supernatural origin. The firemen, who
are getting tired of being called out,
/ think they are caused by human agen-
if the fires continue. The family pro-
fess to have no knowledge whatever
Of the cause of the fires, and are as
much mystified and alarmed as any
one. They dare not sleep without
leaving some one on guard, and they
cannot leave the house alone. 1t is
the most pulling case this city has
ever had on it's hands.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 12.-Mrs. Annie
Grabant, who was badly burned in the
fire at her home last night, in which
her two step-daughters were burned to
death, has confessed that she set fire
| to the house in order to murder them.
Her husband and four of her own child
rem were in the house, and narrowly
escaped with their lives.
Wanted Them to Suffer.
In order to prevent them from suf-
| fering the agony which she intended
| for her step-daughters, Mrs. Grabant
| chloroformed her own four children
into insensibility. She wanted her
husbands hated daughters TO suffer as
| much as possible, so she gave them no
chloroform. She saturated their
clothing and their bed with kerosene.
and laid trail of oil from the bed to
| the gasoline stove. She turned UP
| the fame in the latter until the gas
oline tank became so hot that 1t ex-
ploded, fired the oil trail and set fire
TO Mrs. Grabant as well.
Her Daughters Rescued.

| too late to save the step-daughters. 1t
was discovered to-day that several
| hours before she committed the crime
Mrs. Grabant wrote and mailed a let
ter TO her husband. telling him OF
what she was about to do. 1t seems
that she hated the step-daughter9 be-
cause their father loved them, and be-
cause he kissed them in the morning
before he went to business.
Used to whip Her.
She was jealous of the girls from
the day of her marriage, and often
abused them. She used to whip
them so severely with birch rods that
they sometimes tainted from the pain,
and at other times would scar their
bodies with hot irons.
