Hon. Andrew J, Ryan has earned the

pending for years ANA which. by reason
of their antiquity, had been deemed
the most dangerous by his predecessors.

MILK AND PAPER
TRAIN WRECKED
Accident on the Lehigh Valley Rail
road Near Easton-No One
Was Injured.

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Easton, Feb. THE Lehigh Valley
milk and paper train from New York
was wrecked at Greensbridge. N. j.,
four miles below here this morning.
The train was running sixty miles an
hour and when it approached Green's
bridge, a structure 120 high, the main
rod strap of the locomotive broke, drop
ping the big steel rods that connect
the driving wheels and throwing the
engine and every one of the ten cars
in the train off the rails.
The locomotive and several of the
cars went humping over the ties of the
bridge. threatening every moment to
go over the side of the structure. The
engine and forward cars crossed the
bridge in safety and ran 300 yards on
the ties before coming to a standstill.
One Of the milk cars went over the side
of the bridge and was smashed to
splnters in the road below. Several
other cars were telescoped and one
hangs over the side of the bridge. All
the cars were more or less damaged.
Fortunately none of the crew or pass
engers were injured.

UP MONT BLANC BY RAIL.
Electric Road Projected to Scale the
Summit of the Famous Peak.

From the London Daily Nail,
The construction of a railroad to
the summit of Mont Blanc, similar in
all respects to the Jungfrau line, is
Under consideration. Well-known ex-
perts Ike NJ. Vallot. director of the
Mont Blanc Observatory, and NJ. De-
relet, professor of mineralogoy at
the Lyons University, who have lately
been examining the different routes
AMI atmospheric conditions, believe
that the scheme is feasible.
The route which presents the least
obstacles, and which is likely to be
chosen, is on the Savoy side, departing
from the village of Houches. There
will be twelve stations, which will be
specially built to resist the climatic
conditions, and will be equipped with
every convenience for travellers. The
length of the mountain railway is esti-
mated at eleven miles. The hydraulic
rover, which will be electricity, will be
obtained from the River Acre and the
Mer de Glace. The author of the
sche me, French engineer named
Fabrc, has laid the plans of the new
railway before the French Minister of
the Interior.
There is every likelihood that in a
few years the famous panorama from
the summit of Mont Blanc will be able
t1 be viewed without danger or fatigue
by tourists.

TODAY MAY CLOSE STRIKE
IMPORTANT CRISIS WILL BE
REACHED AT MILLS.
sauquoit Mill Girls will Receive
Their Pay and Have Talks with
superintendent Davis.

The silk mill strike situation re-
mains practically the same as during
the first Part of the week. At all the
mills where the strike has been de-
clared the girls are still out and the
prospects of their going back seem
remote. At the Bliss mill in Dunmore,
the hands are still at work. and Reil-
ling. David & Schoen's Petersburg
plant is also being still operated.
Superintendent Bachoben, of tho
last-named mill, yesterday said that
as yet he has beeen waited upon by no
committee and that no trouble Is an
ticipated with the hands. The wage
scale drawn up by the strikers COM
rnittee and presented at all the other
mills, has not been so far demanded
from the Petersburg people.
Today's developments are being
awaited with interest by all connected
in any way with the strikers. 1t is
the Sauquoit's pay day, and after
holding a meeting in Carpenters hall.
the big mills striking hands will pre-
sent themselves at the mill and re-
ceive their months pay. Superintend-
ent Davis will address them. and Il
is thought that some attempt at a
compromise will be made.
If there is, and the Sauquoit girls
decide to return to work, then the
strike Is over, for this mills employees
are the backbone OF the movement.
Any offer made by the Sauquoit peo-
pie, moreover. will be acquiesced in by
the other mill owners.
