Mrs. Lorinda NJ Nichols, 80, of Windsor
was burned to death Friday at Randolph

stove her clothing caught fire. She was
alone at the time and rushed out of door,

but not until the clothing was entirely
burned from her body. She died at mid
night. How the accident occurred is not
known, but she had often used kerosene to
quicken the fire while using green wood.
She only rallied enough to say that no one
was to blame but herself. She leaves a

Fire which broke out about midnight Fri
day destroyed the tannery at Bethel. The
buildings and machinery we're owned by a
company of Bethel men and leased for
tanning purposes to Phelps & Harrison,
who employed 20 hands, with a weekly
pay roll of 500. This fire is a serious
blow to Bethel, as there is no prospect that
the tannery will be rebuilt. The buildings,
extending about 400 feet front ON the rail
road comprised one Of the best-appointed
tanneries in New England. The owners of
the real estate and machinery carried
about SO, 900 insurance on property which
originally cost over $4,000. Phelps &

Washington, Sept. s. - A dispatch
from Minister Conger was received by
the state department yesterday. 1t was
chiefly interesting in being the first
word from him since his dispatch OF
about the 9th ult. referring to the pro-
posed parade of troops through the
imperial palace In Peking. Like that
dispatch. this is dateless as to Peking.
The contents were not made public,
but II was stated that II contained
nothing materially changing the situa-
tion. The lack of date led TO a de-
Termination to take energetic steps by
which all dispatches hereafter coming
to the state department from China
viii have the date CLEARLY stated. Two
other dispatches received yesterday
from China referred to the state of
health of the troops. which
Generally Satisfactory.
IT cannot be learned that there has
been any marked advancement of the
negotiations between the powers
touching the withdrawal of the inter-
national forces from Peking. The
plain indication is that the powers are
acting upon the information conveyed
In the last note of the state depart-
ment and are bringing all their in
fiuence TO bear upon Russia to induce
her to change her mind as to with
drawing her troops. For some reason
the authorities here appear TO feel
growing confidence that this effort will
be successful. II is noted as fact OF
great significance that the proposition
Is being advanced to have Prince
Ching return to Peking as the acting
head Of the Chinese government. The
suggestion is made that the progress
Of this wave of reorganization while
the international troops are still in

to provide
An Actual de Fncto &
Chinese government with which the
nations may treat without further
doubt as TO it's strength. may solve
the present problem and put the CHI
nese question in fair way to, final
and satisfactory settlement. Much
may depend upon the attitude OF Rus
sia In this matter. and the manner in
which she treats this appeal from the
Chinese notables may prove to be a
test Of the sincerity OF her expressed
deal with the Chinese government as
soon as possible. DIR. Hill. first assis-
tant secretary or state, returned to
Warrington yesterday and assumed
the duties of acting head OF the state
department. relieving Mr.. Adee, who
has performed these duties during the
perplexing diplomatic exchanges of

nENrlsTs N SESSION.
Would Instruct school Children in
Regard TO the Teeth.

Minneapolis, Nina, Sept. B. - The
dentists of Minnesota gathered in
state convention In Minneapolis yester-
da. transacted a good deal OF routine
business and then considered what the
uneducated would regard as very mag
unanimous proposition. President w. II.
Murray recommended scheme whereby
children In the public schools should be
instructed specially In regard to the care
of the teeth and the general hygienic
condition of the mouth. DIR. Murray had
talked with good many prominent edu-
Gators in regard TO the matter, and had
received much encouragement. Supt. c.
NJ. Jordan thought the idea might prove
an excellent one Mayor Gray, who hai
welcomed the dentists, said he would do
what he could to bring the plan to the
frcnt There was q general discussion Of
the subject.
The plan as outlines by DR.. Murray iS
to appoint a committee OF dentists and
have them meet with a Ike committee
of the influential educators of the state
to discuss ways end means. His idea
of the method of instruction ives TO have
line OF study especially prepared, and
he thought the best plan would be to
teach by charts and pictures. thus re-
quiring the teacher to know something
and make her have more intelligent
idea Of the ailments of the children. This
he thought a surer method than to have
some one go around TO the schools and
talk once a month.
There are fully $50 dentists in attend
ance at the convention, The sessions are
being held In the Medical block. The
convention continues to-day and to-mor-
row.

THIRTEEN KILLED.
Appalling Record OF n Rear.End Col

Iission. s s
Philadelphia, Sept. 4.-Thirteen per-
sons killed and over thirty others in
jured is the appalling record of a rear
end collision between an excursion
train and a milk train on the Bethle-
hem branch of the Philadelphia &
Reading railway yesterday morning at
Matfield, Pa, twenty seven miles north
of this city.
The wrecked train consisted of ten
day coaches and was the first section OF
a large excursion made up Of people
from Bethlehem, Allentown and sur
rounding towns to Atlantic City. This
section carried only those persons who
lived at Bethlehem and Allentown. and
left the union depot in Bethlehem at
sos a. m. exactly thirty-five minutes
Behind the MIX Train.
The latter train consisted of two milk
cars a:-d two passenger coaches and
had stopped at every station on the
road from Bethlehem en- route to Phil
adelphia. At 654 the milk train drew
up at the milk platform at Hatfield and
in less than two minutes the special ex-
cursion train, runr!ng at the rate of
thirty-five miles an hour, crashed into
the rear Of the milk train. The loco
motive plowed through the two passen-
ger coaches and crushed them as IL
they were eggshells. The milk car i'm
mediately in front was also badly
wrecked. Four persons on the passen-
ger car of the milk train were almost
instantly killed. Fortunately there were
Very Few Persons
on the train. The excursion train was
a picture of indSscribable terror. The
locomotive was a mass of bent and
broken iron and firmly held the bodies
OF its engineer ard fireman beneath it's
great weight. Behind the engine, six
of the ten cars We're also a mass of
wreckage. The first car was broken in
twain and the, other five cars were
thrown on their sides. completely de-
molished. Nine persons were killed in
the first two cars and the others, in
their coaches were badly manned. AS
soon as the crash came a terrible cry
arose from the smashed cars. and those
who had not been injured quickly
crawled or jumped from the cars and
went to the assistance of the injured.
Many Were pinned down by wreckage
and had to be freed by the
Liberal Use Of Axes.
With three or four exceptions the dead
were killed instantly, the others dying
on their way TO the hospitals. The COR
oner of Montgomery county visited the
wreck early and spent the entire day
at the scene. He at once directed the
removal of the dead to Lansdale, a
short distance out of Hatfield. He
promises vigorous investigation Of
the horror. There are conflicting stories
as to the responsibility for the acci-
dent. One version is that the engi-
neer of the excursion train had been
warned at Sowden, the station above
Hatfield, that the milk train was few
minutes ahead of him. Another story
is that the train dispatcher's Office In
Philadelphia wasat fault. The train
men refused to talk of the accident.

Chicago, Sept. 5. - BY trite little
joke sprung with cool but effective
defamation w. ]. Bryan yesterday
arrested a stampede OF frantic men
and women in the speakers stand at
Electric Park. preventing panic.
The Nebraskan had just fought his
way through the crowd and had taken
his place in front of the orators plat
form when the overcrowded floor of
the small stand creaked and began to
waver. A section of the worn floor
gave way, women shrieked in terror,
and men tried to jump from the rail-
ing on the heads Of the packed throng
at the rear of the stand.
Hello" laughed Mr.. Bryan, turning
a smiling face upon the scared crowd
OF people. This can't be a Democratic
platform. There are no bad planks In
that. Come now. stand still. won't you?
II you stand together where you are
you will be all right II you stampede
the thing will fan on you," and he
laughed as IL II was an everyday oc-
currence. His self assurance had a
quieting effect on the crowd. When
the dust cleared away it was found
that few people had been precipi-
tated into the chamber under the
stand, but none were seriously injured.
