Pennsylvania Railroad on the curve
at Menlo Park. seven miles from New
Brunswick, yesterday morning. be-
tween two fast trains going towards

City. was killed, and 12 others were
injured.
The eastern express on reaching
Menlo Park stopped on the curve
while hot box was fixed. Train No.
76, known as the New York and Phila-
delphia express, followed the eastern
express close behind. The engineer
of this train in some way disregarded
the signals, and ran into the other
train from the rear. The train was
running at the rate of 60 miles an
hour on the curve. The rear car was
partly cut in two by the engine.
The injured are: c. f. Curtis, OF
Philadelphia; Mrs. Clarke Fisher. of
Trenton; Mrs. McCarten. of Brooklyn; {;

Miss Mollie Flanagan and Mrs. Mary
Keane, of Providence, R. l.; Miss Mary
Stewart. of Brockton Mass; James
Kelly. Of Philadelphia, and B. F. Kos
Ter, fireman.
The loss Of life in the wreck would
have been much heavier if the train
men, knowing the Philadelphia ex-
press was due. had not notified most
of the Pullman passengers to leave
the cars. Flagmen rushed back tc
stop the oncoming train. Many of the
passengers had not time to leave when
the crash came. The engineer says
his brakes failed to work.

FRENCH MINERS STRIKE
$1,000 Union Men Called Out 5y Their
National Committee.

Paris, Oct. 9.-The national commit
tee of the French Miners Federation
decided to declare a general strike.
to begin today. It is estimated that
$4,000 men have already struck in the
northern coal fields and that 5000
men have struck around St Etienne.
The Temps calculates that the
French miners number 162, 900 men. of
whom only 10000 belong to the Fed
Grafton.
The decision of the national com
mittee of the Miners Federation in
declaring a general strike throws the
Responsibility upon the mine owners,
because the latter have declined to
discuss the claims of the miners. The
mine owners took this attitude on the
ground that the questions Of the regu-
lation of work and old age pensions
were now before parliamentary com.
mittees. and the strike had already
broken out without warning and with
out motives.
