crowd that ran into the thousands. The
 crowd e relatives and friends had
 waited impatientIy for hours for the
 accurate news of the disaster, many of them hysterical with terror and sus- pense. 4 strong force of police was necessary to keep them in order. Eight
 ambulances were called into requisition
 and arrangements made to transfer
 the injured to the hospital if necessary.
 The first special train arrived from the
 wreck at midnight. It contained hun
 dreds of the uniniured and two of the
 injured. Both were taken home Twen- ty minutes later the regular northbound train arrived with a large number of
 uninjured.
 Those on both these trains were so
 unnerved by the accident that they talked wildly of many killed and seri- ously injured. Many of them limped painfully, but were able to reach theil
 homes. At 1:45 the train for which thousands had been waiting rolled in.
 A large force of doctors was on hand and the patients were transferred as rapidly as possible. Many insisted on being taken to their homes in Water

upon the issues in controversy. Most noteworthy of the days events was conference at the office of Senator Thomas C. Platt. at which there were present, among others. the two senators from Pennsylvania and the governor of New York and nearly all the heads of the big corporations controlling the an- thracite fields. In all seeming this conference had contrary effect to that which had been hoped from it. anl t..e operators departed declaring adherence to the policy they have followed from the first of resisting the demands of the miners union to the bitter end. There were other conferences during the day in which President Mitchell and people of more or less consequence in the in- dustrial world participated. but these so far as information obtainable goes, were as barren of results as the princi- pal meeting. details of which are given below on the authority of one who was present.
 In brief, there has been no change in the situation to-day so far as it might have been affected by the gathering in New York of labor leaders, mine opera tors and public men.
 Late tonight there was a conference in the rooms of the republican state committee between Governor Odell, Chairman George w. Dunn. of the state committee, and Edward Lauterbach. Concerning this conference Governor Odell would only indicate that the talk was along general lines. He said, however. that the approval of Presi- dent Mitchell had not been obtained to any suggestions or propositions for set tling the strike. He added that if there was renewal of the conference at Senator Platt's office he would in all likelihood take part in it.
 Senator Penrose was about the Fifth Avenue Hotel up to Il o'clock. He de- clined to be interviewed.
 About this time Edward Lauterbach and David Lamar drove up to the Ash land House and went into see President Mitchell. They were taken upstairs to MT. Mitchelrs rooms, where they re- mained in conference about 20 minutes. Upon leaving MT. Lauterbach said:
 Things are progressing. That's all l can say at this time.''
 President Mitchell would not be seen by reporters.
