DISREGARD OF SIGNALS,
Said To Be Responsible for the Terrible
Reading Railway Disaster.

Reading Railway Disaster.
Philadelphia, Sept. At seems to
be the generally accepted conclusion
that the wreck Sunday on the Phila-
delphia and Reading railway at Hat
field, which resulted in the loss of
thirteen lives and more or less serious
injuries of tiftythree persons, as is
now known, was due to negligence or
direct disregard of signals. While the
Reading company will not make any
formal statement the principal line of
investigation is being drawn about w.
S. Groves, the train dispatcher at Phil
adelphia; d. B. Beidler, the operator
at Souderton, two and one-half miles
from Hatfield. and John Davis, engi-
neer of the colliding excursion train,
who is dying in hospital at Bethle-
hem.
According to James Renner, flag
man at Souderton station, the milk
tain passed that station on time, and
following the rule of the company
which requires any train coming after
another within five minutes to be
stopped-he placed a red flag between
the tracks. In three minutes the eXcur-
sion train came laundering along with
Davis at the throttle and the train
making forty miles an hour. Davis
made no effort to stop, and waved
Benner to one side. The latter had
only time TO secure his flag and spring
out of danger as the train swept by.
Looking upward he saw that Beidler
had a clear signal set. Beidler when
questioned said he had received no
orders to stop the train.

Sacrificed the Mustache.

Thomas b. Reed at one time wore a
mustache of n few struggling hairs,
so often seen on the upper lip of ex-
tremely fieshy men. How Mr.. Reed
parted with his hirsute apology can
best be told by certain barber in the
house of representatives who attended
the gentleman's wants:
"One day the big man from Maine
settled himself in the BARRIERS chair and
requested n shave. When the operation
was completed, Mr.. Reed Strengthened
himself and asked. Have you any of
that old fashioned pomade to wax
mustaches with?'
The barber hustled among his pots
and jars and produced n French prep
aration in vogue a quarter of n cen
fury ago and then proceeded to wax
the ends of the Maine statesman's few
wirelike hairs.
When the man of snapshot sentences
arose and contemplated himself in the
glass. he turned to the astonished bar
Der and said, Cut this BANKED blank
