FIVE TRAINMEN KILLED
FATAL RAILROAD WRECK NEAR
PITTSBURG.
Two Others Were Seriously Injured
Failure to Flag One of the
Trains the Cause

PITTSBURG, Pa, September 19.-Five
trainmen were killed and two seriously in
jured the result of head-on collision
between Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg,
and Pittsburg and Western passengers, at
Wilmer station. on the Pittsburg and West
ern railroad, about 10 o'clock today. A
number Of passengers were cut and bruised
by flying splnters and broken glass, but
none was seriously hurt.
The dead:
George Chugerty. brakeman of a local
freight train, who had been riding on the
engine of the Buffalo, Rochester and Pitts
burg train.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon his body was
still pinned under the engine.
William Benedict, engineer of the B. r. &
P. train. still pinned under his engine at one
o'clock
Thomas E. Dugan, fireman of the B. r. &
p. train.
Fay De Moss. a boilermaker. who had
been travelling on the P. & w. engine.
William Grahm. fireman of the P. & w.
train.
The following are seriously injured:
H. F. Chambers, engineer Of the 2. 4 w.
train, taken to the Allegheny hospital, may
die
c. w. Crossman. express messenger, B. r.
& P train brought to the hospital; will
recover.
Cause of the Accident.
The accident, 1t is alleged, was due to
the failure to flag the passenger trains.
The Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg and
the Pittsburg and Western railroads oc-
cupy the same tracks to Butler, Pa. About
a half mile this side of Wilmer station
is a long curve.
A freight train became disabled on the
west bound track on the curve this morn
Ing, and as work Is being done on new
tunnel 1t necessitated all trains being run
on the other track By some mistake, 1t
Is said, the trains were allowed to come
together instead of holding the one until
the other had passed.
The impact was terrific. and both engines
were wrecked and the baggage cars re-
duced to kindling wood. The passengers
were thrown from their seats and cut and
bruised, but fortunately none were hurt Sc
verely enough to necesstate their being
sent to a hospital.
AS soon as news of the disaster was re-
ceived in PittSburg a relief train was dis
patched to the scene with physicians, and
the seriously injured brought to this city.
The Buffalo, Rochester and PittSburg
train was the regular morning express,
northward bound. while the Pittsburg and
Western was an accOmmoda ton bound for
Pittsburg.
Traffic was delayed several hours by the
accident The miraculous escape of the
passengers was due, it is thought, to the
fact that the trains were vestibuled.

EIGHT ITALIANS ARRESTED.
Plucky Act Of DR.. Gallagher, Inspec
tor of immigration.

Dr. NJ. F. Gallagher OF this city at pres
ent inspector of immigration at Cornwall,
Ontario, Canada, made bold arrest last
week of eight Italians who sought unlaw-
full entrance into the states. He landed his
men in the Jail at Massena, N. Y, whence
they were taken to appear before the board
of special inquiry for deportation. Upon
being searched it was found that the men
were armed with stlettos and daggers,
nine in all being taken from the gang.
When 1t is considered that DR.. Gallagher
was unarmed at the time and that to cap
ture them he had to row across the st.
Lawrence at night, at great risk on &C
count of the rapids, in order to make the
arrest or United States soil, it will be con-
ceded that the capture was attended by
great personal danger.

TO RELIEVE THE RANGER.
The Cruiser Boston Will Be Sent to
Panama

l.
The cruiser Boston, which is now at San
Francisco, will be sent to the isthmus as
soon as she has completed her repairs, and
relieve the gunboat Ranger at Panama.
A cablegram has been received at the Col
ombian legation from Governor Salazar OF
the department Of Panama regarding the
railroad situation on the isthmus. It said
that there was no interruption to traf-
fic over the railroad and that arrangements
have been made with the railroad company
to inspect their trains as they approach
Colon and Panama, this step being taken to
avoid any surreptitious approach of the
revoutionists to either of those cities, as
happened once before in the case of Colon.
The governor expressed the opinion that the
American guards placed on the trains by
direction Of the commanding naval officers
were not necessary.
At the legation the officials say the sit
uation is more promising than for some
time as with the gradual addition OF REIN
forcements of Colombian troops the danger
of an attack by the revolutionists becomes
less probable than before.

CAPT. CRoZIER'S STATEMENT.
Is Not Interested in Patents Used b,
the United States.

Gen. Crozier. chief Of ordnance of the
army, takes exception to the published
statements as to the reasons for the ad-
verse action taken by the Senate military
committee on his nomination. It was al
legged that the unfavorable report Of the
committee was based on the charge that he
was interested in certain ordnance patents,
and also on the ground that the law did
not authorize the appointment of a captain
to the Office Of chief of ordnance with the
rank Of brigadier general
Gen. Crozier today in referring to the
publications, ARE in their perfect right in
judging as to the law: 1t is their duty to do
of the committee was because of my inter-
est in inventions of ordnance will say that
the report cannot be true, as 1 have no in
tereSt In the use by the United States of
any invention. Those for which I have
patents the government Is free to use and
the members of the committee all know II.
as 1 surrendered my legal rights without
ever taking any profit from them from the
United States either directly or indirectly.
and the evidence thereof has been presented
to the committee. II any authoritative
statement contrary to this should be made
] would deal with 1t, but Of course there
will not be-"
The adverse report on the nomination Of
Capt Crozfer to be chief Of ordnance came
up In the senate in executive session late
Saturday afternoon and Senator Lodge
asked tnat 1t go over, suggesting that a
vote would no doubt disclose the fact that
Their 7rs no quorum present and that no
action -suld be taken. 1t went over until
