FIVE KILLED AND OTHERS HURT.
Two Passenger Trains coiIided on 4
Sharp Curve at Wilmer
Station, Pa.

Pittsburg, Sept. 20-In head-or
collisio on the Pittsburg and West
ern railroad, near Wittmer station, al
9:35 yesterday morning, FIVE persons
were killed and two seriously in
jured. The victims are:
The Killed.
George Ghugherty, brakeman of 8
local freight train, who had been rid
ing on the engine of the Buffalo
Rochester and Pittsburg train
William Benedict, engineer of tn
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg train
Thomas e. Dugan, fireman of tn.

Fay De Moss, a boilermaker. who
had been travelling on the Pittsburs
and Western engine.
Robert Grafton, fireman of tn
Pittsburg and Western train.
The Injured.
Charles Chambers, engineer of the
Pittsburg and Western train; taken
to the Allegheny General hospital;
may die.
T. w. Crossman, express messen
ger, Buffalo. Rochester and Pittsburs

will recover.
Mrs. Louis Stifel, Of Lawrenceville
cut about the face and bruised about
the legs. Taken to the home of +
L. clearinghouse. Mrs. Stifel wa,
coming from New Castle.
1t was said that the Pittsburg and
Western train ltd the right of way
on its own tracks. and its approach
at this time ought to have been known
by the operator at Wittmer. In spite
of this, however, the operator is al
legged to have given the Buffalo
Rochester and PIttsburg train the
right Of way on the down track.
The result was that the two trains
travelling at a good rate of speed
came together almost at the center
of the curve with such a tremendous
force that one of the engines was
projected right on top of the othel
and the baggage car of the accommo
dation train was demolished. The
trains were filled with passengers al
the time. Three or four of them were
slightly injured, but none so severely
as to necessitate their being sent tc
the hospital.

visited Senator Quay at Republican
state headquarters here yesterday and
submitted to the senator the draft OF

Kawz to BE the Pioneers an indie
pendent Citizens.

Washington, Jan. THE Kaw, or Kan
sas. Indians will be the object of the gov
ernment's first test of its policy to dis
solve existing tribal relations and place
the Indians on the same basis as other
citizens. Congressman Curtis of Kansas
Will introduce a bill in the house provid-
ing for the allotment of the lands of this
tribe, the abandonment of their agency
and the indfvidualizing of their trust fund,
with view of opening their lands to set
citizens.
MIR. Hitchcock. secretary of the interior;
MIR. Jones, commissioner of Indian affairs,
and Congressman Curtis have held a
number of conferences upon the matter,
and the bill to be introduced by Mr. Cur
It's has the approval of the officials of
the interior department, who are anxious
has been outlined by the department and
which was approved by President Roose-
Kaws have to their credit 100. 137 acres of
land adjoining the Usage reservation, in
Oklahoma, and also have a credit of
about $4,000 in a trust fund held in the
United States treasury There are about
$50 members of the tribe.
The Dill of Mr.. Curtis provides that the
lands shall be divided into homeSteadS
Inembers of the tribe. the balance of the
lands to be either apportiCned among the
the proceeds placed to the credit of the
Indians The bill sets aside 100 acres OF
land for school purposes, 20 acres for a
toWnsite, ~ acres Tor cemetery and
acres as a reservation on which will be
located the tents of the INDECENT members
of the tribe. It provides that the rolls,
for the enlistment of the members of the
tribe, shall be closed on December 2, 1903
The trust fund of the tribe is to be ap-
portioned and the amounts credited to the
individuals indians. 1t also provides that
at the end of the five years the Secre-
tary of the interior shall turn over to
each Indian who is considered capable of
managing his own affairs the amount of
money due him, and that, with this trans
fer of the trust fund, the government will
cease all guardianship and control OF the
Indians of the tribe
The Kaws have been selected for the
purpose of testing the merit of the gov
eminent policy on account of their adj
vancement and industry. There are but
IS fun bloOds in the tribe. and almost
without exception, the members of the
tribe have shown thrift in the manage
ment of their affairs. Most of them are
prosperous and are anxious to have their
tribal relations dissolved in order that
they may secure full individual title to
their property and to manage their own
business. Interior department officials
are deeply interested in the experiment
and believe that if it proves g. success it
will prove step in the speedy winding
up of the affairs OF the ma jority of In
dams now under the control and special
protection of the government 1t is prob
able that similar action will be asked a t
the present session for the Usage Indians.
The bill will have the Endorsement of
the committees on Indian affairs of both
the senate and the house, and will prob
ably be passed without opposition.
