RAILROAD DISASTER
NEAR GRAND RAPIDS

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. 15.-
The north bound Northland express,
which left this city at 4:05 a. m. and
sound bound passenger train number 2,
due here at a. M, collided in the dense
fog of the early morning at Pierson,
twenty-nine miles north of Grand Rap
ids. Seven persons were killed and nine
severely injured, one of whom cannot
recover.

ger, badly hurt about face and chest.
When the trains met, day was just
dawning and the fog was so thick that
engineers could not see more than one
hundred yards ahead.
According to the railway officials the
collision was the fault of Operator
Wells, stationed at Mill Creek, -four
miles north of this city. The trains
usually meet at Sand Lake, two miles
south of Pierson. An order was ISSUED
that they meet at Woodstock, foul
miles north of Pierson. Later Operator
Wells was asked if the express hat
passed his station yet. He answered
no" He was then told to counter
No. to meet No. at Sand Lake
Similar orders were given to No. 2
Train No. never got the order, having
already passed Mill Creek They col
lided therefore, while both were goins
at full speed. The forward cars wer,
telescoped. The big mail and dinins
cars on No. saved the Pullmans il
the rear and the passenger coaches OF
No. were saved by three freight ears
which happened to be attached next tn,
engine. There were eleven cars OF
Train No. and ten on No. 5. Only 81,
cars remained on the track and thu
engines were literally torn to pieces.
When Operator Mills had discovered
his error he tried to stop the express a
Pierson. but was half a minute too late
! The injured We're brought to this cit,
and taken to various hospitals. TIL
dead were also brought here. The rail
road detectives caught thieves at wor]
at the scene of the disaster.

STRUGGLING HARD TO
BUILD Thu DEWEY ARCH

NEW YORK, August 75.-Louis Wind
muller one OF the most active members
of the citizens committee for perpetual
ing the naval arch, more commonly call
ed the Dewey arcn.' in Fifth avenue at
Madison Square, is quoted as saying that
in spite of waning public interest every
effort, will still be made..to replace the
present structure with one of some Mr..
Windmuller has just returned from Eu-
rope. He. is the chairman of the sub
committee. on entertainment.
.sThe naval arch must be built, he said
emphatically. 1T has now become a
question of civic pride. True, the move
ment began in consequence of the popular
enthus asm over the homecoming of Ad-
mIral Dewey. Because of certain oppo-
sition which, We all know, was felt
toward making tie monument solely in
honor of Admiral Dewey, it was decided
to name the arch in commemoration OF
the Navy. Such an act was thought to
be only a slight acknowledgment of the
manders at sea.
Nevertheless the ebb of enthusiasm
has continued and subscriptions have be-
come smaller and smaller. The last en-
tertainment given on Dewey Day tc
raise funds hardly met the expenses.
But shall New York go backward
After such a beginning can we end in ut
/ ter failure? Is such a course consistent
with the record of this metropolis? Thai
is the question. 1t is not necessary tc
say how much such an arch would en-
nance the architectural beauty Of thi:
city, nor need / say that 1t would re-
dound ten times over to our material ad'
va ntage.
Accordingly, the efforts to have al
exhibition of paintings, proposed las
spring, for the purpose or completing the
suhscrintion fund will be redoubled. Al
though I have not consulted with all the
members of the subcommittee on the un-
dertaking, / believe the plan Is to exhibi
the American paintings at the Paris Elk
position and other art collections as soor
as the exposition ends. / think that if {
proper appeal is made to the citizens o
this city, they will respond

The statement that President Steyn
is confined in General De Vets camp
under surveillance, needs the explana-

If true it may mean that Steyn actual

he is being protected from himself. We
can hardly suppose him a prisoner for
political or military reasons.

inner has had since the tragedy OF

timer has had since the tragedy of
three years ago. The strikers from
the south side concentrated on the
place. They had left their home at
midnight. The women, including
Mother Jones, were conveyed in wa
CONS, while the men walked. 1t vas a
little before 6 o'clock when the 1000
south side men entered Lattimer,
headed by a fife and drum corps aud
the women The leader of the women,
who was a pretty polish girl, carried
a large American flag. They marched
and countermarched on the Lattimer
public road until Z a. M, when the
whistle blew for the starting of work
at the c~ollieries. A shout went up from
.sponded to the call. Shortly after this
a faint cheer was heard in the dis
lance and suddenly a crowd which
proved to be the north side marchers,
who had gathered on the opposite side
of the town, burst through a gate on
the further end of the company's prop
erty about half a mile away. They
came streaming in by the hundreds
and rushed down the Company's rail
way, then across the %strippings and
Joined the south side force on the pub
lie road on the very spot where the
twenty-five marchers were shot by
deputies in 1897. While the men were
running across the company's proper
ty it looked as if the leaders of the
south side strikers would lose control
of the men and they, too, would break
and overrun the private grounds, but
they were held in check. If they had
gotten onto the property the sheriff
with his small force would have been
absolutely powerless to deal with the
:, 900 cheering marchers.
The combined forces, after a short
rest, formed two by two and with the
women and girls in the lead, started
on another parade through the town.
The women marchers called the Lat
timen men blacklegs and other hard
names, while those thus assailed re-
manned mute for fear of being attack
ed. This was kept up until s O'Clock
when the marchers began to leave for
their various home towns.

Buckskin shoes are not commonly
seen in Portland, though the old In
dian moccasin may not be much of a
curiosity, so when an Arizona man ap.
peared with a pair on his feet he at
tracted some attention. A prominent
cattleman of the land of the cactus and
hot sands who is in the city never
wears any other shoes. The uppers are
regular Indian tanned buck: the soles
are Of sole leather. and he says they
are lust like a stocking to the feet. AL
though buckckin is supposed to be a
lasting material. buckskin shoes can
not be worn in the wet, and they would
not do in the plowfleld or the harvest
field. The buckskin came from a deer
he killed in the Arizona mountains and
he paid $40 to have two pair Of shoes
made. He thinks people who box their
feet up in stiff calfskin are missing .

MINERS THINKING
THEY MAY CONSIDER THE OF.
FER OF A SETTLE
MENT.
President Mitchell Announces That
Convention Will be Held-Men
Must Decide Matters for Them
selves-Strikers Make Gains in
the Hazelton District.

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.-President
Mitchell has at last announced his in
tention to call a convention of miners
to decide what action shall be taken
in regard to the operators
ment of an offer of 10 per cen increase
in wages.
He announced that a mass meeting
would be held in Shenandoah, which
would, he said, issue a call in a few
days. The men, it is believed, will
be in favor of accepting the offer of
the operators. The date and place for
holding the convention will be decid-
ed on at Hazelton tomorrow by Presi-
lent Mitchell and others.
President Mitchell addressed a
largely attended mass meeting and re-
viewed long parades of miners at
Shenandoah this afternoon and at
Mount Carmel tonight.
More mines were closed today, the
most important being those of Mr..
Pardee. Mr.. Pardee announced that
work would be suspended until fur
Their notice. because, he said, the au-
thorities did not afford sufficient pro-
lection to his employees from intimida-
ton from strikers. and he therefore
would cease work to prevent injury
t O property and possible loss of life.
Many hundreds of strikers, accom-
panied by ONE marched this
and though they did not at
tack the workmen or commit
any violence, they marched back
and forth on the public road nea the
mine in such a way that the Pardee
miners feared attack should they
emerge from their homes to go to
work In this way the strikers effect
ually prevented the starting of opera
tons and Mr.. Pardee's decision to
close the mine followed.
Q%uietness prevailed in the other sec
tons of the coal region. The Della
ware & Hudson company today join
ed with the other operators and post
cd notices of a 10 per cent increase.
Mr.. Mitchell would not say on what
date or in what city the convention
would be held. The question of rep
resentation will probably be decided
at tomorrow's conference.
Marchers VIII Their Point.
Hazelton, Pa, Oct. 6.-Nearly 1000
strikers, with fifty women and girls,
marched into Lattimer early this
morning and completely tied up the
two collieries of Calvin, Pardee & Co.,
located at that place. 1t was the
greatest march that has taken place
during the present strike.
The crowd was made up of strikers
from McAdoo. Audenreid, Evansville
and from HARDWOOD, Jeddo, Freeland
and Upper Lehigh on the north side.
Two men and girls came from the now
famous borough of McAdoo. The
sheriff and a handful of deputies were
at Lattimer when the strikers arrived
and they kept the marchers constant
ly on the move. There was no dis
turbance at any time, the men and
women being well behaved.
1t was the most exciting day Lat
