TRAIN WRECKED.
Four Men Killed and Seven Injured
by a Washout.

A passenger train, south-bound, on
the New York, New Haven and Hart.
ford Railroad, from Shelbourne Falls,
Mass, went through a washout about
two miles north Plainfield, Conn,
March l, and four persons were killed
and seven more or less injured.
The dead are Stephen Searles, engi-
neer, of New Haven; Edward Bar
rows, baggage master, of New Haven,
and two unknown passengers. The
body of one passenger killed has been
recovered, the other is still in the
wreck.
Jacob Corpre, fireman, of New Ha-

Others injured are: G. w. Phelps,
express messenger, of New Haven;
William Seymour, mail clerk, of New
Haven; George N. Merrill of Bristol,
j. T. Newton, ice dealer, of New Ha-
ven; Charles Hills of Hartford and
Charles Neale, conductor, of New Ha-
ven. None of these were seriously
hurt.
The train was nearly one and a half
hours late and was proceeding eau
tiously when it struck the washout.

FIGHT. IN THE DARK.
Charles Brewers Experience With
Burglar.

Charles Brewer, well-known resi-
dent of Vineland, N. j., and brother
of Capt. Brewer, the former champion
wing shot, had a desperate battle
in the dark with a burglar. Mr.. Brew
er about midnight heard a noise in
the kitchen. He descended to see what
had caused it. He did not carry
light and was unarlned. AS he entered
the kitchen man sprang upon him
Mr.. Brewer succeeded in throwing
off his assailant and hurled him
against the door, which closed and the
spring latch caught. 1t was pitch dark
in the room, and once separated the
men could not locate each other.
Neither dared move, as that would
give his opponent an advantage. Fin
ally after minutes rest, Mr.. Brewer
hurled stove lid at where he thought
the burglar was. The lid went through
a window.
The burglar rushed at Mr.. Brewer
and struck at him with a knife. The
blow fell short. The point of the knife
ripped Mr. Brewers shirt and made
scratch like a pin scratch across his
chest. Mr.. Brewer closed again and
wrenched the knife from his assail-
ants hand. The burglar thereupon
made for the window, and leaping
out escaped. A neighbor who had
heard the commotion and had gone
for the police arrived with help few
minutes later. No trace of the burglar
has haen found

being still at Osfontein, a few miles
southeast of Paardeberg, the Beers

eighteen miles. 1t may be assumed,

not far from Osfontein, that their

roughly estimated at from 1000 to

Directors or trustees Of a corpora

report to the members thereof it's
financial condition in reasonable de-
tail at least once each year.
The Interstate Commerce Commits

the mine is on fire
One can better understand the ef-
feet of the calamity when it is stated
that four-fifths of the miners were
married. 1t may be added that the
vast majority were white men.
The Red Ash is a large drift mine
and was heavily timbered. The explo-
sion occurred near it's mouth, and it's
frightful force blew the bodies of a
few men, threw mules and coal cars
Into the air. Part of a mans body
was found on the limbs of a tree
sixty yards from the mouth of the
mine.
The great side supports of the en-
trance were smashed. The fall of
debris formed an almost impenetrable
wall. But the rescuers attacked this
wall, and after two hours desperate
work took out ten men, seven dead,
three dying.
OF the dead three were Black
Long and his two sons. Longs widow
was maniacal for awhile.
There was no use for caskets. AS
the black and mangled corpses were
taken from the mine they were laid
In blacksmith shop on the mountain
side. The bodies were unrecognizable.
So the grief of the women waiting
there was the more extreme, for their
was nothing on which to spend it's
force. Each woman prayed a burned
piece of clay was not her man; each
woman decided it might be.
Mine Inspector Pinckney refuses as
yet to make statement as to the
probable cause of the explosion. John
Laing, the superintendent, came out
of the mine not more than ten min
utes before the catastrophe. Laing
thinks the fire-damp gas was ignited
by a miners open lamp.
