Fifty Feet in the Air.

NEW YORK, Sept Is. George Lutz.
engineer. James G. Dooley, fireman,
and Walter Weber, conductor, were
blown out of the cab Of locomotive
which exploded on the Pennsylvania
railroad just west Of Jersey City. Lutz
was killed and the others were seri-
ously scalded and bruised. No cause
for the explosion has been discover
ed. The boiler had been filed, there
was plenty of water in the tender and
the locomotive had been working
smoothly.
The engine was one of the largest
on the road and of the mogul type. 1t
was drawing a heavy freight train into
Jersey City. The wreck of the boiler
indicates that the crown sheet blew
cut and the foce Of the explosion lift
ed the boiler up and forward off the
bed plates on the trucks and with the
cab the boiler flew into the air.
About $50 feet from the spot where
the explosion occurred and when in
the air, the cab split in two, dropping
in two parts to the track with Lu;z
in one part, and Dooley and Weber
in another. The boiler flew forward
and upward 100 feet more and then
struck the side of cut, bounded off
the rock and flew downward but still
forward to the tracks, landing about
75 feet beyond.

BRITISH CAMPAIGN COMMENCES

NEW YORK, Sept. l5.-Before the
end Of the present month the autumn
political campaign will be initiated
cables the London correspondent of the
Tribune. The Liberal party leaders
are organizing vigorous attack on
the governments education bill, and
unless Premier Balfour can see his
way to grant concession on the vital
question of popular control. there may
be some difficulty in forcing the bill
through Parliament this year. The au-
tumn session is ostensibly to be de-
voted to the education scheme, and in
all probability, Ireland will again
block the way, and Il is not to be ex-
pected that the Nationalists will miss
such an opportunity Of drawing at
tentio nto the coercion policy OF the
government and the recent wholesale
proclamations under the Crimes Act
