SIXTEEN KILLED
MANY DYING
Horrible Railroad Collision In a
Tunnel.
BOTH PASSENGER TRAINS

New York, Jan. S--The police
report that rear end collision of
trains occurred in the New
York Central railroad tunnel at
Fifty-sixth street and Park avenue,
in which many were killed and in
jured. The trains were the pass
enger accommodation on the New
York, New Haven & Norwalk
and the local on the New York d
Harlem branch, the latter being
ran into by the Norwalk local, the
big engine plowing through the
entire length of two coaches, teles-
coping on the third.
The wreck took fire Immediately
and the confusion and excitement
was so great that it was difficult to
learn any facts in regard to the
disaster.
Many calls were sent to the hos
pitfalls for ambulances, and the fire
department was also pressed into
service.
At 9:45 several bodies and a
number of the injured had been
taken out of the wreck. Great
crowds gathered at the mouth of
the tunnel and amid great confus-
ion it is impossible to obtain
facts.
At 10 o'clock ten bodies were at
the mouth of the tunnel and six
teen at the hospitals and two more
could be seen under the wreckage,
making twenty eight deaths at this
time.
The train which ran into the
Norwalk passenger consisted of
| FIVE coaches and left NorwaIk 6 6:55

train was three minutes late when
it reached Fifty sixth street where
it was signaled to stop 1t was
only a few seconds later when the
collision occurred The steam

work of rescue difficult The in

FABULOUS RENTS

The rents Of houses for the next season
are becoming simply enormous. I know
OF one house in Park Lane whose owner
has already refused the offer Of $4,000 as
she Is asking $4,000, and fully expects to
get that fabulous sum for three months
let. Sir Richard and Lady Musgrave have
let their house in Charles street for
s. 200, and great were the heartburnings
of those who own houses along the diff
ferent possible lines, of route for the
royal progress until the doubt was finally
laid to rest as to which particular route
had been chosen. They do not like to re-
fuse fairly good offers lest the route of
the procession should not go their way;
on the other hand, If their line is favored
there is no telling what prices the houses
may command. The American invasion
threatens this year to break all known
records, and there is no doubt that their
advent in clouds will not resemble that
of the devastating locusts but rather Of
the golden cloud in which Zeus disguised
himself when he visited Danae.

mountains. 1t is an arctic Sahara, in COM

And told them: I'm lolling at ease on deck,

You're muddled OATS and you're filled with
