Outside of the "drunks," there were no

relentless and refused to be beguiled.
Mcpherson, the hero OF thousand and
three sprees, was arrested twice and
fired the customary amount for each Of

getting to be on extremely sociable terms.
There were two O'Briens catalogued

JUMPED FROM A TRAIN.

Daniel Burke of Chester Leaps from
Royal Blue Express and Lives to Tell the
Tale.
1t is not often that a man jumps
from rapidly moving express train
and lives to tell the story, but such 10
the experience of Daniel Burke. of No.
2727 West Third street, Chester. Last
Tuesday week. he jumped from one
of the Royal Blue trains on the b. u
.. railroad and the only serious effect
which he feels is two spiained thumbs,
and slightly injured hip.
1t was reported Friday that he
had been thrown from the train and
killed, but the report was erroneous.
Burke and Joseph Shea. also of Chester,
started out together on Tuesday after
noon and early in the evening they
found themselves in the vicinity of the
B. & o. station, at Twelfth street and
Edgmont avenue. After hanging around
for awhile they took it into their heads
| to go to Washington, and boarded the
Royal Blue train due in Chester at
CAT O'Clock. Burke had been talking
about going to the Capital city for
several days, but the train had hardly
pulled out of the station when he arose
from the seat and went to the end of
the car. His absence was not noticed
by Shea and the latter never realized
that his companion had gone outside
the car and jumped off.
When Burke jumped the train was
going at good rate of speed, and when
he landed il was on the side of the EN-
banKment near the bridge over Chester
Creek. Burke was seen Friday evening
and said he had no idea why he wanted
to get off the train, and did not realize
what he was doing until he stu uck the
ground and went tumbling down the
bank. He does not know how he
stopped, bat is Of the idea that ht
struck against section of old boiler
iron which was at the foot of the bank
He picked himself up and by cir
cuitous route managed to get to hi
home.
Shea continued on his way and die
net know that his companion had dis
appeared until the train neared thi
city, and upon making this discover.
he became alarmed an LETT the trail
here and boarded the next train bacl
to Chester to ascertain what had becum
of his friend.

way, collided with the Leetsdale accom-
mediation, eastbound, near Edgeworth,
Pa, about $50 o'clock this morning.
Both trains were wrecked and five pas
sengers and FIVE trainmen injured. The
names are:
L. Stevens of New York, breastbone
injured, condition serious; insisted on
being sent home.
j. E. Hanson of Chicago, head and
face cut and bruised.
Mrs. j. E. Hanson, rendered un-.
conscious by head striking car floor,
condition serious.
William Fischer, en- route to Della
ware, cut about the head and body,

dale.
James Johnston, conductor on accom-
mediation, cut about face and body ;
lives at Leetsdale.
Fred Schuch, brakeman on accom-
mediation, hut about the body; lives
in Ohio.
A mistake in signals caused the &C.
cident. The accommodation had stopped
at Edgeworth, and the passengers were
thronging into the coaches when the
heavy locomotive hauling the express
came laundering up the track. The
engineer applied the air, but was moi
able to stop the express in time tt
avert collision, and the engine crashed
into the accommodation train. Tht
express locomotive plunged into thu
smoking car and coaches of the accom-
mediation, which were thrown from thu
track.
The moment the wreck occurred, ;
large crowd ran to the assistance of tn
injured, and in short time. they wer
all extrioated from their perilous posi-
tions and removed to the station, ant
! physicians summoned. 1t is believed
that all will recover, except Fireman
White, who was crushed under hi
engine, and Baggagemaster Wise, VIII
. was caught in the end OF his car, am
terribly crushed.
8 As soon as possible, train was mad
? up, and the passengers brought to thi
. city. Ambuances were on hand whe

. iured were removed to the hospitals.

No princeton-Harvard Game.

The Princeton University baseball
management announced Friday that
Princeton and Harvard will not play
any baseball games next spring. The
reason given is that Harvard refused to
play tine regular series of three games
and made a demand that only two
matches should be scheduled. This
Princeton refused to concede since last
year, when only two games were sched
uled, each team winning game.
After considerable controversy it was
agreed by both arrangements that only
two games should be played last season,
but Princeton now holds that in case
of tie the third game hould be played.
The undergraduates feel that the loss
of the game will quite seriously affect
PrincetOn's schedule, but they approve
the management's action in demanding
the series of three games
