ENGINEERS BLAMED
Coroner's Jury Fixes Responsible.
ity for Wreck at Plymouth.
TWO ENGINEERS AND ROAD

The Passenger Train Apparently Had
Time to Stop-Railroad Blamed for
Not Supplying Employees With Di-
vision Timo Cards.
Plymouth, Mich, Jan. 23.-Two dead
men, the engineers of the trains, and
the railroad company are blamed for
the collision which cost three lives on
the Pere Marquette railroad near here
on the night of Jan. IL.
The jury Tuesday afternoon In JUS
tice Maiden's court heard the testi-
mony of the surviving members OF the
crew of the freight train, and then
reached it's conclusion. After about
half an hours deliberation it decided
tnat Engineer VIM. Blisch, OF the
freight train, was to blame for the
wreck because he was on main track
when he knew that a passenger train
was due. Engineer z. T, Moore was
blamed for coming into the yards at
Plymouth at high rate of speed. The
railroad company was blamed for not
supplying it's employees with proper di-
vision time cards"
j. Bice, mechanical engineer in the
office of State Railroad Commissioners
Osborn, was an interested spectator az
the inquest and asked several ques-
tions which brought out some new
facts. He examined the scene or the
wreck before he appeared In court.
Freeman Moon, the fireman of the
ill-fated freight train, swore that when
Engineer Blisch saw the passenger
coming around the curve he remarked,
ED, here comes the passenger" The
conductor, he said, did not seem to be
excited After the accident he spoke
to the injured engineer, and all that he
said was to ask who had taken in the
target. The fireman said at the time
CT the collision the train was backing
off the main track. He thought that
when he first saw the passenger IL
had plenty of time to stop.
Conductor Frederick Burson, who
had charge of the train, and whose
case looked very black up to the time
the verdict was rendered, swore that
he had been railroading for 20 years
ana nau never Deen III an accident De-
fore He said he knew that the pas
senger was due, and did not need
warning from the engineer. He did
not remember that the yardmaster
had warned him that the train was
due, but said that he remembered
something being said about the pas
senger train.

problems by means of international con-

OF socialism with the State, and those of capital

difficulties OF both socialism and labor and
thus to earn the gratitude of the entire civilized
world.
THE CAUSE OF BISMARCK'S FALL
Prince Bismarck immediately realized the
Utoplan character of the scheme its i'm

more than his ordinary irrit ability and brusque-

not to be argued out of the idea of holding a
conference, he proceeded to ridicule it and to
cause 1t to be Scoffed at and treated with de-
rision as the vaporng of inexperienced and

Yet she carried the day in the end and her

cleverness and the fact that she showed her

nineteenth century.
The manner in which she brought about the
