Was the Death Of Three Men on the
Pennsylvania.

y
Bellefont, Pa, April 12.-(Spl.)-The
mining village of the Snow Shoe re-.
ports another frigbtful railroad acci-
dent this morning and three men are
lying under q Pennsylvania railroad
engine that is half buried in the
swamp. The engine was returning
empty to Snow Shoe, after a trip TO
the Sugar Camp mines. Four men We're
ON it, three riding on the fireman's S
side. When rounding a sharp curve,
the engine left the track and after
running about so feet on the ties, fell
over an embankment into the swamp,
burying all the men underneath it,
except the engineer, who escaped
through the cab window. The heads
of the three men can be seen sticking
from under The embedded boiler, but
1t is impossible TO recover the bodies
until a wrecking crew arrives from
Tyrone, which will he several hours.
Their death must have been horrible,
for they were possibly boiled by the
escaping steam.

when the country would be short of
timber. He advises all people in the

So the Turkish baths he sought,

Or so it seemed, in steainy mist,
And from the bigness Of his fist
