GREW ASLEEP
And a Terrible Wreck Was Narrowly
AVeTted.

Parkersburg, w. Va, March 90. -
What might have proved a terrible
tragedy was narrowly ~averted this
morning at Oral, water station on
the B. G o. five miles from Flemming-
ton. Had it not been for the careful
watch which was being kept on the
track by the crew of passenger train
No. 2, that train would have crashed
into freight train and the result
would doubtless have been hcrrible.
Freight train No. 81, west bound.
was being run through in two sections,
conductor Exline and engineer Lever
ston being in charge of the first section,
and conductor b. Ford and engineer
James O'Neal. of this city, in charge of
the second section. The trains stop to
take water at Oral station and as the
first section stopped at the pump, sec
tion No. 2 ran up behind her and stop
ped to await her turn
Section 2, after taking water, start
ed ahead and went to Bridgeport,
where it passed passenger train No. 2,
that left Parkersburg at LAO o'clock.
No. 2 went on, the crew thinking that
81 No. 2 would take siding, but
nothing was seen of the latter until
they came into sight of Oral.
There is a long straight track this
side of Oral and engineer Frank Deem
discerned in the distance the headlight
of an engine. Knowing that some.
thing was wrong he shut off steam and
applied the air brakes as quickly as
| possible, but his train was not stopped
until within short distance of the one
on the track in front of them.
The crew on the passenger train
went forward to see what was the mat
ter and found the entire crew of No. 81
| fast asleep. There were five men and
| all were slumbering as quietly as il
they had been in bed at home, and no,
at their post of duty and on the main
! track.
The crew was awakened and the
trains passed at the first siding, 81 No.
coming on to Clarksburg and the
passenger through to the east, its liv-
ing freight unaware of the catastrophe
which they had narrowly missed.

now be able to see how near she came

THE MACHINISTS
 IN CONVENTION
President 0'ConneIl Makes His Annual Report Showingthe
 Growth of the Order

Toronto, Ontario, June 3.-The annual convention of the International Associa- tion of Machinists opened here today. About 200 delegates were present.
 In his annual address President O'Con- nell showed that during the past two years 197 charters were issued, with 8 membership of 74o4. During his term the executive has approved of 66 strikes in- volving 7650 machinists, of which fl were won, 10 settled on compromise and 10 lost. The locals engaged in PAS strikes involv- ing 12,192 men. Two hundred lodges re- ported having settled 759 grievances with out strike. Increased rate for overtime was obtained in 765 shops.
 The president asked that the law be changed so as to compel unions before striking to obtain the consent of the Grand Lodge, He said.
 'T am firmly convinced that our nine hour movement will result in reducing the hours of labor of 15.O00 machinists. Machinists employed fin the railway serv ice have been more than anxious to take part in the movement on May 20, but we have felt that many roads could not be sufficiently prepared by that date and have advised against such move taking place except in special cases. Very great progress has been made for the past three months by our organization with the railway machinists and recommend that a date be set for the inauguration of the nine hour day for machinists em- ployed in the railway service.'

 MAD WITH THE DOCTORS

Minneapolis, Minn, June 3.-The con- vention of the National Suffrage Asso- citation today pledged s50OO for the suf- frage work next year.
 Another important action was that re- lating to the regulation of social vice. The action of the physicians and sur geons at their convention in St. Paul last week stirred up the delegates to indigna tion, and a strong speech was made by Rev. Anna Shaw of Philadelphia as to the attitude in which the convention stands towards the passing of the laws for the segregation of vice in the cities of the United States.
 Miss Shaw said:
 ''No worse law under the sun than that for the segregation of the vice in cities could be passed and all the women of the convention are opposed to any proposi- tions on this subject. I want to be known as standing forever and forever against such crime"

 APPEALS FOR AID
North Carolina Town Suffered Severely from Recent Storm.
 Many Lives Were Lost.

Atlanta, Ga-, June 3.-A special to the Constitution from Authorization, N. G., says:
 The mayor and commissioners of the town of Bakersville, N. C., have issued an appeal for aid to rebuild their city, which the circular says was destroyed in a storm on the night of May 20. The ap- peal says in part:
 "It Is not known how many lives have been lost, nor is 1t known how many dwellings, mills and store houses were swept away. A conservative would fix the number at about 5O0 Men whose judg- ment Is regarded as safe. put the dam age in the entire county at one million dollars.
 "The damage to this town alone will reach nearly $1OO,0OO. Tn the face of this dire calamity and realizing the situation of our town, it being thirty-five miles to the nearest railroad point, with the roads all washed away, and knowing that wide suffering is imminent without outside help, a mass meeting was called by the mayor of the town and this appeal is- slled."

tion has taken in regard to the regula- tion of social vice.
 The motion was adopted and Miss An thony was added to the committee. It was further decided that the memorial the first day of the convention will be read before the medical convention if the committee gets a hearing.
 Miss Anthony and Mrs. Catt expressed themselves as strongly opposed to the passing of any law for the regulation of vice, and other delegates found much to say against it.
 In the evening addresses were made by Frances Griffin of Alabama and number of others.
 The main features of the plan of work which was adopted after long discus sion are as follows:
 Each state to keep an organizer in the field at It's own expense as far possi- ble; junior suffrage clubs to be formed, especially among women wage-earners; county organiza ton; at least one sermon a day by clergymen women's day at fairs, chautauquas and the like; urging upon women in states with partial suf- frage exercise of their rights; protests by women taxpayers; the systematic distri- button of literature; frequent publica- tions in the press; petitions to state legis- latures to raise the age Of consent and to make mothers co-guardian of children with fathers, and petitions to all kinds of national and state conventions and to Congress for a sixteenth amendment.

 The rupture occurred this morning when several engines from Birmingham. belonging to the Alabama Great South ern were carried to the Northwestern Birmingham being oct on a strike. This work. 1t is understood, the Northwestern machinists refused te do and request for consultation with President Harvey and Superintendent Curran was mssGe. President Harvey would give out no statement other than that the machinists were very pleasant during his interview with them and that he had taken their grievances under consideration. It is un- derstood here that the Northwestern of- ficials are willing to grant the men an increase in wages if they will do the work for the Alabama Great Southern, which the Northwestern has always had under contract, at this end of the road It is understood that. the machinists can not accept such a coniN omise and be loy- al to the union, which forbids one set of men doing the work which should be ex- ecuted in another shop.

PETITION FILED
 FOR BANKRUPTCY
Alvin E. Crocker Schedules Lia- biIities at $33,783 Incurred
 in Promoting Mining Co.

New York, June 3. - A petition in bankruptcy, which is accompanied by the paupers oath, to the effect that the pe- titioner had not the necessary funds with which to pay the costs of filing the pe- tition, was filed in the clerks office of the United States District Court by Alvin E. Crocker in this oity today. The peti- tioner places his total liabilities at s33,- 7S3. Among the secured creditors are Oliver P. Crocker in the sum of s7003 but this claim is endorsed by the petitioner without consideration; this debt is not just and is contested"
 MT. CroclSer Is a brother of the late Benjamin R. Crocker, the California mill lionaire who died recently. By will MT. Crocker left his estate to his wife. As she pre-deceased him, the estate will be divided among the next of kin. Crocker's share is estimated to be about $5O000. AL win Crocker was interested for many years in mining ventures in Mexico with varying success. His last venture. how ever, his lawyer says, ruined him. He promoted the San Javior Mining and Mill ing Company of Mexico and borrowed money to finance 1t. The mine was not the money maker he expected 1t to be, and he finally obtained an extension of time from his creditors.
 Nearly all of the $33,7S3 included in the schedule Is due to persons who lost money in the mining company, or who advanced money to carry on the work of the company. As soon as MT. Crocker learned that money was due him under the will originating from the estate of his brother, he took steps to pay all the creditors. His son Oliver P. Crocker. formerly of Chicago, but now of Atlanta, Ga, agreed to pay all the debts in ex- change for an assignment of his fathers interest in the California property. The assignment was fully executed and then the lawyer says the son refused to car ry out his part of the bargain. MT. Crocker was determined that the creditors should be paid and as there was no other way to set aside the assignment he filled his petition in bankruptcy in the United States Court. Under the law the petition will set aside the assignments made with in four months unless the assignees can show that they gave valid consideration for them,

IMMIGRANT INSPECTORS.
Two Will Be Sent to Porto Rico to
 Prevent Chinese Immigration.

Washington, June 3-Assistant Secre- tary Taylor of the treasury department, and Commissioner General Powderly have decided to send three immigrant in- spectors to Porto Rico for permanent duty It Is feared that the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the insular cases may stimulate Chinese immigration to Porto Rico with the idea that once there they cannot be denied admission to the United States The collectors of customs hitherto have acted as inspectors and will continue to do so, but the need for addi- tional help in keeping out the Chinese is apparent to the officials, and from now on the exclusion laws will be more rigidly enforced
