PENNSYLVANIA ROAD.
THE WRECKAGE TAKES FIRE
BODIES CREMATED-IT PLUNGED
INTO CANAL AND PASSEN-
GERS ARE DROWNED.

Princeton. N. j., Feb. 21.-One of the
worst collisions in the history of the AM
boy division of the Pennsylvania railroad
occurred at about $50 o'clock this after
noon at Ruslins Siding, near Borden
town, and about eight miles south of
Trenton. The Nellie BLY," express from
New York on the Atlantic City collided
with passenger train No. 80, running
from Camden to Trenton. The number
of dead, so far as known, is l, and the
iniure d up ward of IS.
The two trains collided at full speed
and both engines We're completely demol-
ished. The forward caiO of each train, in
both instances accommodation baggage
and smoker, We're entirely demolished
also, and the wreckage took fire.
The track at this point is so close to
the Delaware and Raritan canal that the
passengers in getting out of the over
turned coaches got into the canal and
many of the bodies of the dead and in
jured had to be taken from the water.

wishes to negotiate, will give to the
United States every shred Of control
that any person could demand. short Of
an actual purchase in fee simple. or
transfer of sovereignty. This is impos-

| OANl,
On the Best 7 erns Offered
by any Company.

We are prepared to make loans on
improved FARMS for a term Of ten years,
with interest payable annually. We
will give the borroWerer the privilege
of making a payment Of as much as
one-ffth of the principal at any time
each year, thereby stopping the inter
est on the amount paid BY this
method the borrower is enabled to pay
of the full amount of the loan in five
years. The privilege to pay one-fifth
each year is optional with the borrow
err. He can, if he chooses, keep the
loan for the full time. No extra charge
orthis privilege. which enables the
farmer to be outsofd debt iii five years if
he-chooses. Should the borrower con-
clude to pay only one-tenth Of his loan
each year, he would then be out of
debt at the end of ten Years. AS most
Z borrowers pay the agent a commission
for their loans, it is very easy to see
the advantage of the above plan. It
enables the farmer to save the expens-
es of making a new loan every three
or five years. Our mortgages have no
gold clause
IF you want loan, investigate our
plan before going elsewhere. Address

Women Set Free.

Lucille Blackburn, Willie Col lins, Ethel Raymond and Nellie 1 Wing, four white women serving terms in the penitentiary, have been pardoned by Governor Davis, who says their incarceration in the peni- tentiary Is a public nuisance, and that he chose pardoning them as a lesser of the two evils. All were in- mates of Fort Smith bawdy house. Lucille Blackburn was sent up for four years in September for assault to kill and rob- The other three were given year each for receiving stolen property.
 In connection with. the pardons Governor Davis made this state ment: ''The four women pardoned today were prostitutes, sent to the penitentiary from Fort Smith. Their incarceration in the peniten- tiary creates nuisance, as there the state has absolutely no use for them. The state cannot work them, and the officials are compelled to constantly keep them under lock and key, and while they are guilty of fla grant crimes, their confinement in the penitentiary cannot be tolerated. This is additional evidence and shows the necessity for a reform school. If the state had at this time a reform school they could be made to do useful labor, but their confinement in the penitentiary is a nuisance. I therefore adopted the lesser of the two evils and pardoned them upon the condition that they in the future lead an upright life. "
 Gov. Davis has designated Tues day, November 12, as arbor day, and recommends that it be observed in the planting of trees, shrubs and vines for the adorhment of the homes, the school grounds and the highways of the state, and in such other undertakings as shall be in harmony with the character of the day.

Mrs. Ware Indicted.

The Garland county grand jury returned an indictment against Mrs. Bessie P. Ware foF the murder of her divorced husband, John D. Ware, three months ago. Mrs. Ware was already under a $7,000 bond and was not placed in jail, the officers allowing her to remain un- der the same bond until the case is called. Insanity, it is said, will be the plea of defense. John D. Ware was one of the most prominent busi- ness men of Hot Springs, at times heavy thinker, and during a spree was shot and killed in a bedroom in the home of Mrs. Ware.
