Washington, March 23.-The ord.
nance department of the army has
arranged TO equip all the United

The ordnance department also has
secured an effective clip for the Krag-

racing ears until he got opposite
the depot ut Glen Gardner, when the
second section smashed into the FIRST.
The first section, composed OF the
coal cars. was going at n high rate
of speed and none of the cars We're
jolted off the track. The forward
car, one Of tho oil tanks of the ram
away section, was hurled sidcwisa
across the tracks and the oil tank
cars behind it were spilled up on top

The first crash caused tic oil in
one of the tank ears TO explode and
ignite and the terrific heat caused
the other cars TO explode, one after
the other. The incline running from
the depot down TO the Main street
acted AS Il sluice for the burning oil
ana il poured into the chief thor
oughfare of the village, setting fire
to verything it touched. Houses,
