WRECKED

ion with portion of freight
train. Just what caused the
wreck is not definitely known,
but it is thought a portion of a
freight train that had broken in
two had rolled over on the pas
senger tracks. No passengers
were killed.
The shock TO the passenger
coaches was terrific and although
the occupants were badly shaken
up no passenger was hurt.
When the front end of the en-
gine plowed into the ground Of
the gully it became disconnected
from the other coaches that went
over the enbankment and whirled
sideways so that it pointed in the
other direction. The mail car
crashed into the tender, sur
rounding it completely. The
engineer met his death by being
pinioned under his engine. Nc
Cullen, the mail clerk, was crush
ed between the side of the car
and coal tender. He was found
with his head forced down be-
tween his knees. The other
clerks, when they awoke to
their condition, were able to
extricate themselves from the
wreck without assistance. At
least one person is believed to be
buried under the wreck.
Two Nottingham doctors re-
sponded to call for assistance.
The roadbed and the two tracks
were torn up for quite distance
and the embankment will have
to be repaired before the tracks
can be relaid. The Lake Shore
track is blockaded east, and all
trains are being sent over the
Nickel-plate. The passengersof OF
the wrecked train were taken TO
Cleveland over the NickUl-piate
and wrecking trains are at work
on the Lake Shore.

Charges.

MANILA, July 9,-The United
States Philippine commission
has ordered H. Phelps Whit

province, to come to Manila and
submit to an investigation, ow-
ing to the allegation that he has
been using his position to his
personal advantage, in acquir-
ing land and mining rights from
the natives. He is at present
charged with indiscretion and
violation of his instructions.
The commission particularly in
structed Governor Whitmarsh
to cultivate the friendship and
protect the interests of the Ir-
rogotes, who suffered from
Spanish extortions and exploita-
tionS.

ly occupied the provinces OF
Union and Benguet, and DIR.

who was prominent in the civil
administration of the province,
complained of Governor Whit
marsh's methods of administer
ing his Office.

made no concessions. The old
state committee met previous 70
