DASHED INTO THE RIVER.
One Fatality in n Train Wreck
Near Beaver, PA.

Near Beaver. Ia.
BEAVER, Pa, Nov. 2S.-The Cleveland
night express, leaving Pittsburg at mid
night. on the Cleveland and Pittsburg
road. ran into a washout half a mile west
Of Beaver, Pa. at l o'clock this morning.
and the locomotive mail, baggage, and
express cars jumped the tracks and
plunged into the Ohio River The cas-
ualties were:
|. Dead:
NJ. s. CASEY, of Cleveland; express mcssen-
ger; body not recovered.
The injured:
cut off,
James A. Allen. baggage master, of 1887 Ham
iton Avenue, Pttsburg, badly cut and bruised
about the head.
Frank Bonnell conductor OF Cleveland badly
cut.
John Taylor, Pullman car porter, skull cut.
The train left Pittsburg on time and
was on its way to Cleveland by way of
Wellville and Alliance, Ohio. 1t had left
Beaver Station after taking on nineteen
passengers and was getting well under
| way when, half mile from the station,
at the end of the double track. where the
track is close to the river. the ground un-
der the rails gave way owing to the action
of the flood, and the locomotive, baggage,
and mail cars went into the river, being
submerged ten feet. There was nothing
to save them. The passenger coaches
| were derailed and overturned, Sbut re-
mained on the bank.
The passengers in the day coaches were
thrown from their seats by the shock,
while those in the berths in the sleeper
were thrown out. Engineer Coughenour
was caught between the locomotive and
tender when the train went over. He was
found with one foot missing. He man
aged to get free and was picked up by
some of the passengers who got out first.
his cries being heard above the rush of
the water. He had stuck to his post to
the last. Conductor Bonnell managed
also to free himself. He struck out for
the shore only a few feet away and saved
his life. although he was badly cut and
bruised by being thrown against the side
of the car in which he was riding. The
Pullman porter was rescued as he was
about to be swept away and was taken
to the station. Baggagemaster Allen
managed to get to the shore without
much trouble, although he was dazed by
the severe shock when he was thrown
around in his car.
That none of the passengers was lost
is considered miracle. At 4 o'clock this
morning Train Dispatcher Fitzgerald, Of
the Fort Wayne road. received word from
the company operator at Beaver to the
effect that he had just returned from the
scene of the wreck. He said that the bag
gage and express cars were entirely sub
merged. and that all of the coaches were
on their sides in the water. Express Mes
senger Casey, he said was still in his car
and it had been impossible to reach him.
1t was presumed, the operator said, that
he was dead. He saw one passenger with
his wrist cut. This information was con-
firmed later by DIR. Shugart, railroad
physician. AS soon as word was received
from the scene Of the accident wreck
ing train was summoned from Pittsburg
and an additional train was made up to
carry the passengers on West to their
destination.

at the Ebbitt House. Coaches Reynolds
and Jayne. both old Princeton stars, headed
the aggregation. each member of which
appeared to be, and was, according to the
statement of Coach Reynolds. in prime con-
dition.
In speaking of the game today, he said:
''The men are in better shape than they
were when we played Virginia last Satur-
day. and will doubtless play a better game
tomorrow
Coach Jayne said: IF the team plays
their best game tomorrow. Georgetown will
know she has been playing football when
the contest is over
The game will begin promptly at 3:3O

MR.. MERCER A CANDIDATE.
The Nebraska Representative Would
Like to Come to the Senate.

Like to Come TO the Senate.
Representative Mercer of Nebraska was
among the callers at the White House
yesterday. When asked il he had Sena-
torial aspirations. he stated very frankly
that he had. The situation in his State
is so mixed that the fight for control OF
the Legislature may be a protracted one.
1t now looks as though d. f. Thompson,
of Lincoln, and G. D. Meiklejohn, Assist
ant Secretary of War, would be the can
didates with the largest number OF
pledged votes at the start.
Mr.. Meiklejohn will have the backing OF
the Administration forces, a thing Editor
Rosewater came all the way from Omaha
last week to secure. There will be
dozen or more receptive candidates with
more or less active backing. and this fact
adds greatly to the chances of Repre-
sentative Mercer. Mr.. Mercer is good
speaker and did great deal Of active
work on the stump in the State during
the recent campaign, and many OF the
members of the. State Legislature realize
that he helped them greatly in their can
vass by his speeches. This is strong
point in his favor, and should the Legis-
lature become deadlocked Mr.. Mercer will
stand an excellent chance of coming to
the Senate.

POLITICIANS IN A FIGHT.
General Rosser. Resents the Insfnua-
tions of Captain Rives.

RICHMOND. Va. Nov. 2s-Gen.
Thomas l. Rosser, who has recently come
into more notoriety by his flop from the
Democratic to the Republican party, and
Capt. c. H Fry Rives, son of Judge Alex
ander Rives, had big fight in Char
lottesville at the meeting Of the McKin-
ley Roosevelt Club last night The meet
ing was warm one. 81
Shortly after the meeting assembled,
Captain Rives addressed it at length.
General Rosser declared him out of order.
Rives denied this and continued his
speech. making some reflections on Gen.
eral Rosser's course during the recent
campaign. He declared that Rosser had
paraded the name of Roosevelt through
out the State to the exclusion of other
and better representatives of the party.
General Rosser took instant offence at
this. and after sharp words seized Rives
by the throat and dragged him from the
hall. In the corridor a knock and
drag-out fight ensued. which was finally
stopped by friends When order was re-
stored Captain Rives went to his home
near the University of Virginia. General
Rosser claimed for a long time that he
was the only Confederate general who
never surrendered. He was brigadier
general in the Spanish American war.
